You're probably restarting the phone quite soon after initial boot? (or at least, soon after friends-service starts).
For performance reasons, we couldn't have the service saving every single tweet to disk every single time, so instead it just batch-saves them periodically, like every 5min I think. If you just leave your phone on longer it'll keep the messages. To force re-downloading older messages, delete ~/.cache/friends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to friends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1274667 Title: messages are gone after reboot on the phone Status in “friends” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I reboot my Ubuntu Phone all tweets/messages are gone.
