Default Stock SMS app problem

I am using the stock app for my SMS text messaging. I have noticed that several message threads are showing a date of Dec 31, 1969. I am unable to delete these from my history. The program allows me to enter the delete field, but when I attempt to delete these messages, nothing happens and they stay in my history. Any ideas on how to delete these messages from within this app. I have new messages show up on occasion, that were not in there before. There are about 35 threads currently at this point that I need to delete. I appreciate any help with this.

You are welcome!

If that doesn't work. Menu/settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Text Messaging-Hit Force Stop then Clear Data. Now go back and try to delete the message thread.

Hey guys appreciate the information and I have tried both suggestions. The messages are still showing up in the SMS app. An additional piece of information for you, the subect is blank, there is no information within the messages that are showing the date of Dec 31, 1969. There is just a header with the phone number or contact information. I appreciate all assistance.

Ok, turn off phone. Pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold down power button and home screen until icon with exclamation point shows up. Hit search button(magnifying glass). Now use the volume buttons to select Wipe Cache Partition. Use the camera button to select. Once this is done reboot and see if you can delete the messages. This is clearing the phones cache. This might help.

Have you recently installed a 1.21 gigawatt processor, Mcfly?

this is not available in gingerbread.

(the swipe left in contacts)


I am having the same issue:

I can long press on the thread, tap delete conversation and it removes the content of the thread but I can not remove the thread itself.

I have threads in my phone I can not remove that are for people I am never going to correspond with again and it's very frustrating not being able to clean up the text message threads.

Any more ideas on how to fix this? (I am on gingerbread)


Thanks!
