I have a bunch of text messages that i want to delete and everytime i try to delete the thread...it pops us sorry! activity messaging (in application messaging) is not responding. HELP
This problem had been bugging me for over a month now so I decided to just try and wait it out. First I deleted all the threads individually that the phone would allow me to so that just left me with 3 big threads, one that had 1300 messages and 2 that had about 650 each. I went into each thread and hit delete and when the "force close or wait" message popped up I hit "wait". Then it came up again about 5 minutes later so I hit "wait" again. I kept hitting "wait" each time and the thread eventually deleted. The ones with 650 took about 10 minutes of waiting to finally get deleted, the one with 1300 took about 20 mins but eventually they were all gone and now my phone is running much more smoothly. So just wait it out. Its annoying but worth it in the end.
If you want to delete something, try this. i had like 50 threads and 3-5 that had over 1000 txts each, so i just hit the "Delete All Thread" button and let it sit there before i went to sleep. Than when i woke up, all my threads were gone and i could txt again.
Well this happened to me also...Expect I was deleting a thread tat had about 900 texts. Go into the thread and try to delete it. It will give you that message but dont do anything. Let it sit there. The message should just go away and then hopefully the texts will be deleted. Then reboot your G1.
Hopefully on the next firmware update, HTC will fix this problem. I have about 6389 texts. Im still trying to delete them, G1 is a very great phone the only flaws, is the text application and no Flash!
You have to delete them one by one till you get to about 600 then it should delete them all as one thread in a few minutes or less
You've just gotta wait it out... don't try to force close. Eventually it will delete all your threads and you'll be ready to txt again. It's funny that the G1 sms app works not unlike gedit (linux), when files get too big, the thing just locks up >.< Funny, my Palm Centro never required that I remove old sms messages. I had literally thousands of messages and it never slowed down =D
To delete a message or a message thread
Note: To delete all messages on the text messaging screen, press the menu key while on the text messaging screen, tap Delete all conversations, tap Yes to confirm.

trying to delete thread of 1000 texts. won't delete. FORCE CLOSE MESSAGE...grrr
i have threads with over 5k in them.
when the message pops up if you just let it sit there w/o licking wait or anything, it will go away?
I get the same message when trying to delete even 16 messages at one time.
my piece of **** g1 wont delete my mess.even if its just like 200 and i delete it then trun it off and start it again and it does NOT go away!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DOO? :(
this drives me CRAZYYYY
im a really big texter and within a day i send prolly 100 to a few people,
so im up to almost 1000 for some people and i try to delete them and they wont delete! idk if you guys have some personal texts but i would like to get them off my phone and THEY WONT LEAVE cause the stupid force close nonsense comes up,
and i would LOVE to fix this, im just worried that if i try this too much, my g1 will completly bug out....
IDK!!!!?
Yup I have one thread with 3618 and it won't go away and i dont want to manually delete them all one by onnnnne
i still tried waiting for the thread to delete but it wont work,
i got the same problem and i was told to get a new phone and not factory reset mine bc then ill loose everything...
they should make an application for the g1 that you highlight more then one text message at a time to delete, so therefore you dont have to delete the whole thread.
The first week of having the G1, amazing. After that, entirely unimpressed. For about 2 weeks I've been trying to delete text messages. An ex boyfriend's thread containing 2,566 messages to be exact.... if the problem doesn't get resolved, I'm going to freak out. Hey GOOGLE, get on that.
I have the same problem!!
I really don't want all of those txts when I used to talk to my ex and now they wont delete wtf?!!?
This sucks
I'm sitting here at work with the exact same problem. There's a woman I was talking to and we racked up 2918 text messages over two months. Tried to back up the thread using a app...it crashed after 50 tms were backed up. I'm on the verge of my lunch break. I'm going to give it an hour or so, if that thread isn't deleted at 4:30 , I'll back up my apps with Astro and factory reboot the phone.
same i have a about 1276 text and it wont delete and when i hit delete thread. **** keeps freezing and i restarted my phone 10 times and its getting so slow and crashing. and now my signal keeps loosing.. g1 sucks!
I'm completely disappointed in the response time for deleting text. I have thousands and can not delete them. I will try to delete them again and just wait like others have suggested. Wish me luck.
i have 5700 text messages and it keeps freezing and everything and asking me to wait and stuff like that i hate the g1
When i receive pics via text message. I see a botton labled download. I press the button then a receive a message saying download complete but nothing happens. Where do the downloads go????
I want to keep my texts between me and my friend, because it's something I love to go back and reread. But now it just says Loading... on the convo. I deleted my other convos and even got rid of a few apps, some of my music (700 songs now like 4/500) and plan to get rid of all of my photos from the phone to my computer. I don't know what else to do. After I do the pictures, I might just pop the battery out and try that. Any other suggestions? I really want to keep mine and his convo so deleting the convo will be my absolutely laaaaaast resource. Any ideas I haven't tried yet? (Oh, and I even tried to save the messages to my gmail using SMS+ BACKUP).
