Can't open a text message

Hi
I received a text message from my bankwith the heading "Buddy name". However, I can't open it. when I click on it, there is not message present. Also, the message remains as unread with a blue dot next to it.
I've tried quiting the Messages app and reopening, but it makes no different. I've also restarted the phone.
Anything else I can try?
Thanks
Phil

Can't open certain text messages - have BB storm 9530

certain text messages received do not allow me to open them, I can "mark opened" but still cannot access them. I see them in my inbox and I can read the partial subject but that's it. Anyone experience this issue? How can I resolve? THANKS!

This has been common problem. Hopefully they get a new OS released soon. Until then, if a battery pull doesn't fix it, I would consider downgrading the OS. Follow my instructions here:

Can't open/view Text messages

I click on a contact to read my new message(s) and my screen turns white and says "loading" and it never actually loads and shows me the new message. This happened out of nowhere tonight (nothing happened to the phone tonight) and I can still view emails and browse online. I can also still compose a text message and send it successfully. I have tried restarting the phone, I have tried shutting it off completely, cleaning it and putting it back together and trying again, but nothing is working. Please HELP.....this is driving me crazy!
Thank you in advance!!!

Hello Jamie1115,
I can certainly understand how important is it to be able to read your text messages! In this day and age texting has grown to outpace phone calls on cellular devices. Have you checked how much available device memory you have on the Incredible 2? If not then I would recommend making more memory available by performing the steps below:
Delete any long threaded messages from the text message inbox.
Clearing data and clearing cache on commonly used apps.
Move pictures and videos to the memory card.
Uninstall any unused apps downloaded from the Market.
Remove any anti-virus apps or task managers.
Delete any widgets that's not being used from the main screens to free up RAM.
Remove any live wallpaper from the background.
Manually stop unnecessary or unused services in settings.
Delete any 3rd party messaging apps from the device.
Once you have done the step above then retry your text to see if you are able to read the message. Also, test to see if you are able to read new text messages, just in case there is an issue with the one message that you received. If you are still unable to view the messages on your incoming text then the next step is a factory reset. I have provided a link below on how to complete a factory reset on the Droid Incredible 2.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=42020
As always, I recommend that you verify that your contacts and calendar entries are backed up on your Gmail account. You also have backup assistant to use for archiving your contacts. Once this reset has been complete then the device would need to be reactivated. This is a fairly simple process as there is a tutorial that walks you through the process. After the device is reactivated and setup, please test all voice and data services then test your incoming text messages. If you continue to have this issue then please reply to this message with your findings so I can further assist.
Thank you...

I open a text message to respond and my screen freezes

I keep getting the "low on space" message pop up, and when I went to open a text message it would tell me that there is not enough space and I need to delete apps. I deleted some works in the text dictionary and then suddenly my phone started to act up. It wont let me delete blank works in my dictionary. Also, when I go to open up a text and respond I type in one letter and my screen freezes. When I finally get it to the home page the keyboard is still there and is making everything slow and or not work. I have to keep turning my phone on and off. I have already taken out the battery 3 times already and let it sit.
Anyone have advice on what to do???
I don't want to have to do a factor reset because I am scared I will loose my calendar appointments, pictures etc.

Your internal storage is getting too low. These phones require a little bit of maintenance from time to time.
Check your internal storage. Settings > sd card & phone storage
Clear cache from the applications. Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > menu button > sort by size. You will have to go through the apps one by one and pressing the white clear cache button. Browser, market and games seem to be the usual suspects.
Backup your text messages to the sd card or send to an email address. Search the Market for sms backup. If you want to save mms messages, you will likely have to choose a paid application.
After you have backed up the text messages, delete as many threads or individual messages as you can stand.
Clear call history. Not sure if there is an application that will back that up for you. I use Lookout which has that as option.
Move what applications you can to the sd card. The steps will be similar to the clear cache steps above.
After completing all that go back to get your internal storage level and hopefully be amazed how much space you have gained.

My iphone 4 wont let me open my text messages

MY iphone 4 just wont let me open my text messages, its just a blank screen whenever I open it and its driving me crazy. I've already turned it off, then on again and have already done a hard reset and both failed to fix the problem. Help!

Close out of the message app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
Then do a rest, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. Then check message app again.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone?

Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

Hi,
Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

Is there any way I can download my received text messages to my computer

I have a BB 8830 World Edition. Is they any way I can download my received text messages to my computer. If so, how? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To backup/store your messages use Blackberry Desktop Manager software.
Connect your device to the PC.
Run the Blackberry Desktop Manager
Select "Backup and Restore" icon on the application window
Click on "Advanced" button and select the information that has to be stored.
When backup completes - there is a *.ipd file on your computer created. It contains all necessary information.
Later you can write information from this file to the blackberry device with the same mechanism.
For now there is no such a standard application to read stored messages on PC Computer.
Try to find third-party applications for that purpose.
