maemo.org - Talk - n900 conversations disappearing!!!

And me too, but only for one contact.
It's not free space issue. I have 12Mb/800Mb/>1Gb on root/home/MyDocs and can install new apps without any problems.
I can assume that this can be caused by some smileys which are similar to sql syntax or by renaming the contact. Or by extending it's data with some non-typical information. Or by some conversations addons: I have Skype, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Ovi and Vkontakte (russian [anti]social network, clone of facebook that enabled jabber for all users) accounts activated at least once.

Another symptom is that for this contact statuses of new messages cannot be updated: I can see notification that sms was delivered, but in conversation window it's still can be seen as awaiting to be sent.

Will try to see .db

Same here with my wife's N900. It's only happening with one of her contacts and always the same contact when the problem arises. Some of the messages disappear or it shows her messages a day or few days old. Plus it shows the actual phone number rather than the contacts name that my wife has her saved under.

She did a battery pull and restart and only temporarily fixes the problem. I hope she doesn't have to do a flash or anything serious just because of one contact.

Re: n900 conversations disappearing!!!

So if I'm going a little off topic here guys but it's only because I can't seem to find the answer anywhere and no one will respond to my question in another thread.

I have fMMS with a bunch of picture messages, maybe over 60-70 of them still on my N900. Only way I'm seeing to delete them is literally one by one.

Is there a way to select all or more than one and delete? That would be helpful since if I have to do each one seperate, it would take very long and be super annoying.

Any help would be appreciated!

Found a workaround for this today - the problem occurs because the Headers table in the /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db becomes corrupt. Happily this is repairable, on the device:

First gain root access:

Code:

sudo gainroot

..then switch to the target directory:

Code:

cd .rtcom-eventlogger

Now dump the contents of the existing database to a raw SQL file:

Code:

sqlite3 el-v1.db .dump > el-v1.db.sql

Restore the SQL to a new database:

Code:

sqlite3 el-v1.db.new < el-v1.db.sql

You may ignore SQL errors at this stage; they occur due to corruption in the source.

Now overwrite the broken DB (you may wish to back up the original file):

Code:

cp el-v1.db.new el-v1.db

Finally, ensure that the file is owned by 'user' and is in the 'users' group so it may be read by Conversations

Code:

chown user el-v1.db

chgrp users el-v1.db

Now close and re-open your Conversations app - the changes should be immediate!

Hope this helps,

Alex
