Q: Health and wallet data lost iPhone 6s
Ugh, this is a mess. It started out yesterday when I did my workouts and noticed the Health App was missing data.
This is going to be long, so here is fair warning
Let's back up to Friday.
I use a Wahoo Tickr chest strap HR monitor and their app for recording my workouts. This in turn gets saved to the HealthKit app on my phone. and THIS pushes the calories burned to my LoseIT! app to help me count my daily calories vs. burned calories. This was all working fine until yesterday.
Saturday - I'm at a car show and had no place to stuff my phone so in the bra it goes. Somehow it was not "locked" and the icons were in that wiggly delete mode. Oops - so I cancelled that and thought I may have accidentally deleted one or two apps in the process. Boob-deleting! take that however you want
So, because I backed up my phone before we left, when I came home I restored it. No problem. Done this before without issue. EVERYTHING came back. My credit cards in the wallet, EVERYTHING.
Fast forward to Wednesday (yesterday).
Did my workout. When finished the app asks if I want to save it. I say yes and it saves to the Health app.
I open my health app and it is NOT there. On top of this ALL the stuff on my 'dashboard' is NOT how I had it. Everything seems to be gone for the past year. Dammit.
I go to the LoseIT! app to log my breakfast calories eaten and notice that the info from the workout is not there. Ugh. I quit the app. I quit all apps and check LoseIt again. Nada. I open the Wahoo fitness app and send the info of the workout over to lose it and it says the workout is there. No, it is not. I do this several times while checking settings in all apps until I'm in some insane circle of **** that Dante hadn't come up with.
I quit them all. do a hard reboot and check again. That circle of **** is now becoming more demonic. I reset my health app to my liking and manually imported my workout data to LoseIt.
I give up until today to see if maybe it was just a little glitch. Of course it's not a glitch.
So, I come here and start searching. For the life of me I can't find the thread, but I found one where it was dated earlier this year and whoever answered the OP told them to restore the phone from a backup. OK I can do that again and we'll see what happens.
Kill me. Just kill me now and save me from this endless loop of data loss!
When I restore the phone to Saturday morning's settings, NOTHING got fixed other than losing 2 workouts in the Wahoo app (fine i can live with that) but now unlike Saturday night's restore, my WALLET data is all gone.
That circle of **** now has gremlins inhabiting it making things more impossible.
On top of this restore, it gave me grief about unlocking it because of some passcode and then when it finally decided to unlock, I had that white screen where I had to slide to open. I put in my passcode and then it was upgrading. I let it finish and sign in to iCloud and all that other good stuff.
My wallet is still empty.
Health app is still doing what it feels like.
I shouldn't have started this restore nonsense. I did this twice this morning to no avail.
Could the database of the restore be corrupted?
Should I try wiping out the phone completely and then restoring the database?
I want to wait for answers here before I put my card info in again. Some cards are easy and some are living ****. I tried one card that I know is grief-free hoping it would "push" the info in there and make everything come back, but of course that did not happen AND it was telling me it can't add the card and I need to contact the issuer.
So, help me or kill me, but I don't want to go back to that circle of **** again today!
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2
