Has anyone else experienced a loss of all their sms history after updating to the 10.1 MR? I just updated on Bell and lost my history. The update was smooth otherwise.

1. Did you guys back up before doing update
2. I'm assuming this is OTA update?
3. Try to restart the phone and let it sit for 10 minutes. It takes time to repopulate, especially if you have texts since 2007 like me

[slade632]

Yeah this is a pain in the ****. And if i send a text it says there's a network error

I didnt do a backup or anything, straight OTA update and all my messages and everything are there. No issues so far. Seems a bit random that others have issues.

straight OTA update, im not about to sit there for hours while I wait for the useless BB link software to take five years to do a backup.
restarted and left for over half hour, no dice.

but hey at least they didn't just bin some of their testers..... oh wait BlackBerry lays off 250 product testers | CrackBerry.com

All my SMS are there as well, I'm on Telus.

Just did mine on Rogers and my sms are all intact. It took 50mins to do the process. I did mine OTA via wifi connection.

I liked your comment because it accurately reflects what I didn't wanna say that way lol

BB Link isn't that bad if you know how to use it. However, it is lacking in functions. Right now, it's way too simple
For those who update in the future, ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST. This isn't the first OTA update with this problem
If you already lost all your SMS, and they aren't repopulating, do a backup now on BB Link before you do anything else
Perform a wipe, then restore the backup. Chances are it will force the repopulate the happen

really? even for a kick off it takes FOREVER to open, I mean like it makes iTunes look wicked amazing fast. well, it actually is as I have a SSD in my pc, so iTunes loads in 2seconds, link takes over 7 seconds! and that's on a top end machine, so ye, link is amazing!
then it takes forever to backup, and no I don't want to have to wipe and lose all my save game content etc when I reload and therefore have to use say 4gig wifi to re-download my apps, so I`ll backup my apps too, that then means it takes well over an hour just to backup.

but yea, link is amazing, and unicorns really can fly too

1) BlackBerry Link doesn't work even when you know how to use it

2) I have no more SMS messaging after OTA update ( history or sending new)
3) holding both volume rockers no longer reboots phone..

No... It IS that bad....
I will try it and see if it works. Thanks for the suggestion.
I will post either a WIN or FAIL.

Uhhh.... No. BB Link is a just a bug ridden application that can easily screw you up no matter whether "you know how to use It" or not.

I can't even browse through media on my phone with it because it freezes for minutes at a time switching between albums etc... I have a quad core laptop with 6 gigs of RAM.

So far it has gotten stuck at 99 percent each time I've tried to do a backup.

I've just deleted it. Cannot believe how bad that application is.

if it makes ya feel any better I have a 4.4ghz quad core overclocked cpu, SSD running at 500mb/s transfer and 32Gb ddr3 1866mhz RAM (ye, had four slots so I filled em haha) and its still slower than a turtle even then.

everything else loads virtually instantly

How many of you with the lost text messages got impatient during the first very long reboot time after the update and did a battery pull? I think I see a pattern in the other threads.

Did anyone lose their messages after a totally smooth update installation?

[wireless_surfer]

I lost all my SMS history as well.

Yup, lost all of them, despite a smooth install with no battery pulls. Hopefully they repopulate on their own.

yea had a smooth update no battery pulls, now when i open the txt nothing shows up but in the hub it shows me the new msg still unread. nothing will load in the msg i cant even send a msg! Even when i try and open a different txt msg it still shows the name from the first one i tried to open and nothing loads either. This update is really annoying if it doesnt fix itself soon, im going to start considering different options for a phone
