Hey all, so just recently my messaging app is really slow all of a sudden, like it takes 4 seconds to load the conversations, when I go to reply to a message, it takes 4 seconds to actually pull up the keyboard, and allow text input. I message a lot, so this is extremely annoying cuz I have to wait forever to send one stupid message >.< does anyone know what's wrong or how I could fix this?
Thanks!
Stock messaging app? I know I let my messages build up like without the auto delete on and eventually my messaging app just froze up until I clicked auto delete so it could be due to a lot of messages hope you get it figured it out and this helps a little !

When the program loads it had to load all those messages into memory. You need to get rid of some. Just go back and delete some by hand.

Isee, so the only way to make it faster is by deleting messages? :/ what if I clear the cache? Shouldn't that make it faster, cuz then it won't load the older messages (cuz there's no need to)? And does clear data delete all the messages?

I honestly don't know because I let my messages get deleted every time I flash a ROM. I would assume clearing the data would delete the messages. If you absolutely MUST hang on to your messages, why not make a backup of them, then go through and delete some or all of the ones in the app? If you need them back, restore the backup.

Ok so before I get flamed, I have spent hours using the search feature looking for an answer. I apologize in advance if this topic has been covered, feel free to delete this thread but I'm desparate for an answer.
As the title states, I can't delete my sms messages. I send about 400 a day not including messages received. I'm stuck at about 8k messages and I'm on my 4th hard reset since I got the phone 2 days before it came out.
As I'm sure you guys are aware, the phone won't delete more than few hundred at a time. When I have this many messages in my inbox the phone behaves ridiculously slow to the point where its unusable.
I did find one solution involving the command prompt and several adb commands, but it didn't work for me.
If anyone has a solution It would be greatly appretiated.
Again, I apologize in advance if this has already been covered.
I know if you are using Handcent SMS, it takes awhile to delete a lot of SMS. I had about 400 in a threaded conversation with my GF, and when Handcent started to lag because I had so many, I had to delete them. It took probably about 1-2 mins to delete the whole thread. So just press delete and wait like an hour or so haha.
yea i had about 2k messages and my phone wouldnt delete em, what i did was wipe, felt like my only choice, just start deleting all those messages after it gets to 500 (unless u really need all 8k of those messages). the messages do get stored in your phone so eventually it will lag the hell out of your phone. you can also use fresh pre kitchen, it has a tool i saw for deleting text messages and backing them up, i cant say it works or not because i never used it. worth taking a chance tho
if your rooted use fresh kitchen to backup and delete all your text's
Not using handcent, and I really would like to avoid having to delete my messages everyday. An auto delete program/feature might be the best option for me if either exists.
This saddens me because my old touch with wm6 would hold 30k messages just fine

+1 It works great and its way faster than doing it manually
Fresh Pre-Kitchen 0.2
In addition to the pre-kitchen option, I hear that Android 2.1 has an option for deleting them after a set amount of time?

or even better, to back them up to the SD card before deleting them (just in case)...that'd be sweet
And no i have the "Delete Old Messages" Unchecked.
It just randomly crashes and then deletes all my texts Also itll get a spell where i cant send messages until i reset the phone. Any ideas?
Its the ATT 3g version. Thanks
anyone know?
Known issue of sorts... It's happened to several people, myself included. The Messaging app will FC, and when you reopen it all threads have been deleted. I'm not sure what causes it, but I haven't had it happen again. Some have stated that they think it may be more likely to happen if you unchecked the delete old messages setting or if you allow message threads to get too large.

Your guess is as good as mine. If you REALLY need to minimize loss of text messages... you can check out the backup options in the Market.

Thanks, yeah it helps me cause i talk to all my customers via text message i got to remember what ive been saying lol
It has happened to me with large amounts of text going over 2000 and sometimes up to 5000 but then FC and BAM they're gone. So Try backing them up every so often.
Stepped away from my MT4G for a minute, when I returned, I found all my SMS's deleted. Only had about 1000, and 5-10 pictures messages. I know I had ~1GB of free memory. This was a big issue with my Nexus One, but didn't expect this to happen on the MT4G.
Does anyone know the cause of this?

Well, I know the stock messaging app has a setting to delete old messages, so you might want to check and see if that is checked.

It has not been checked since I got the phone. Seems to be common reading the T-MO forums.
I know that the max thread of messages to the same recipient is 200 so if you are not deleting messages on a normal maintenance basis, perhaps some of them are getting bumped after the 200 message Max is being reached? These, of course, are referring to messages to and from the same recipient(s). My wife likes to babble and I can get to 200 messages in no time....just sayin.

I know what your saying. BUT in the stock SMS app, I do not have that feature checked.

I woke up to this happening yesterday, but I use evil's miui rom. All messages were gone and new ones would not show up. Had to reflash to fix it.
Are you using the stock messaging app or some other messaging app? Because it happened to me once with handcent. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again and everything is working fine since.
silly problem
guys I can sure that you have installed quick cache cleaner app, or any other equalent app, it will delet all sms when u clear the all system cache,
solution: all you have to do is very simple open cache cleaner app n select messages press n hold it n select EXCLUDE that's it your problem solved ...
Happening to anyone else? I have about 8,000 sms/mms saved on my phone. The more I get, the more frequent they get deleted. I run titanium 2x/day, but I'd like to know WHY it's happening.
I'm using handcent, not the stock app. I do not have the auto-delete function enabled. I've searched around the T-Mo forums, and the only "answer" i've found was to enable auto-delete, and set the max text storage to 5,000. Well, that won't work for me.
Same problem
I dont know if this is the same thing but i had kinda the same problem a few days ago when all of my texts just deleted and i have been getting force closes recently. I dont know whats going on but I would love to get a fix for it.
Reflash your Rom?

Is auto delete disabled in stock app? Even if you are using non stock sms app, the stock one is still looking at the data base i think.
[via XDA app]
Not an answer, but wtf do you need that many sms for? lol Thats A LOT of texts.

Use titanium backup and freeze it, that way, you can bring it back if you need to.
I'd suggest doing a Nandroid backup first, just in case.
Freeze yes, Delete No
Freeze Yes, Delete No, It's part of the system an has code that you need But for some reason it can be frozen with Titanium root/Pro, It's the app an not the system code that is frozen. I too use Go Sms an apps and I just freeze apps an not delete them. That way no crushing or forced closings of any thing

reason being sometimes GO SMS won't work and theres a notification on the main menu saying 1 unread message which means I need to reboot to access my msgs again - and i keep receiving 3 -4 msgs for the same msg - its annoying and they've only sent it once.
