[Q] flush/delete all SMS messages - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

anybody know how I can flush all my text messages? The "delete all threads" is not responding. I typically use SMS Backup and when I did a restore forgot to set the message limit and now it reloaded about 7000 texts back to 2011.... i cannot get messaging to load unless i reboot and i have one chance to get messages to load. then it just says "loading messages" if i leave and come back in.
I've tried going into settings->applications->messaging and clearing data/cache but all that does it adjust the settings... i need to completely dump the data/app and start fresh
Ideas??

Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete mmssms.db. To clear old pictures from MMS, delete the app_parts DG folder too.

SMS Delete!

After several attempts, I have realized that when an SMS viewed from the TF3D tab and deleted using the screen option, it just gets deleted without being stored in the "Trash Folder", where as if the same SMS was viewed using the SMS box -the old way- and thereafter deleted, it goes to the Trash folder.
Funny ain't it? I lost many of such SMS and tried to retreive'em hopelessly...

Sms not working

my stock sms app keeps force closing everytime I open it, and all of my messages are gone. Also I had chomp sms and it wasnt sending texts so I uninstalled it and got handcent sms but its doing the same thing. Anyone else had problems with this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
check your signal strength make sure its not going in and out
power off your phone and leave it off for about 30 seconds
turn it back on and test sending a sms to yourself with the area code still
if no luck then continue on to
if the app is giving your the force close you could go into the menu/settings/applications/manage applications and find both or all of your downloaded messaging apps and the stock message app and clear data and force stop all of them. Hit the home key after and then try sending to yourself again.
if this does not work then i would suggest you resetting your phone and starting over.... or make sure that no blocking features have been added to your account if you are on one with someone other than just yo.

[Q] Messaging Question (Stock app)

I'm on a stock Thunderbolt (no root/no flash) using the stock messaging app. When I reboot my phone, any texts that failed to be delivered automatically send. I want to stop this from happening. I looked through the messaging settings and didn't see anything, any ideas?
I am running 2.3.4
I don't believe there is a setting for that. It would only make sense that if it failed to send, you probably want it to try again after a reboot, but one way of stopping it would be to delete the message right after rebooting or before rebooting. I just dont think it is a setting. Sorry.

stock messaging app problem - my threads stopped updating

Has anyone had this happen? I have a stock HTC One X that I have rooted. Everything was fine, but now, starting today, when I create a text message, I click send, and it reloads the thread, but my text does not show up - it's just the same last text showing from before the problem started. When people send me texts, I do not see them, but I do get the notification. I rebooted the phone, and cleared the app cache to no avail.
I tried Handcent, and it works just fine. However, handcent has that funky menu bar at the bottom that I hate, and I get a notification from both Handcent and from the stock messaging app, which is annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix this are much appreciated.
Once I hit about 6000 messages I wasn't able to even load threads. I'm just using GO SMS Pro until there's a stable CM10 release for this phone.
Try going into setting and clearing the apps cache then reboot.
Thank you for the replies - I already cleared the cache. I ended up "fixing it", or rather, the problem went away, when I deleted the threads from my best friend and wife. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there is a thread cap, and I message them a lot? Iunno, but it's working now.

Stock Messaging App Issue

I am running Rooted Stock. Everytime I restart my phone the Stock Messaging App pops up a notification at boot. It says that I have 5300 messages.
When I open it, I see a bunch of threads even though I have deleted them in my other Messaging app. When I try to delete them in the Stock Messaging App it freezes and then force closes. If I open the Stock Messaging App from the app menu there are no threads and when I go into the settings to turn off notifications, the Stock Messaging App freezes and force closes. I have tried going into the app manager and clearing cache and clearing data with no change .
Outside of this I have no problems and I just cant seem to figure this out. I am trying to avoid wiping the phone for what seems like a simple issue. Thank you for any help you can provide.
