Text Message Contact Delete

I had a Centro and had to download "FILEZ" to delete the contacts of previous numbers I had texted to. These are the ones that are listed in a drop down menu when you go to the "to" of the text message. FILEZ apparently doesn't work on the Treo 800w. Does anyone know how to delete these or does the program FILEZ actually work on this phone, even though it is a windows operating system?

FileZ is Palm OS. The 800w is Windows Mobile. So you're correct, it won't work.
You need to go into the Messaging app (the one you send SMS to and from, the same as your email app, etc. Just different accounts.) and either delete all of the messages (somewhere in the softkey menu) or delete individual messages.
I have PocketCM installed, so I just go to that contact's SMS view (which is read from the default app [the default app gets the only copy] - Pocket CM basically just makes it look nicer, and reads from the system's default database.), tap on the top of the screen to invoke a menu, and tap on "remove SMS from this contact" to delete all of the SMSes sent to and from the contact.

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps

Text messages auto delete

Text messages on my phone randomly get deleted. I have the option to keep them set to 'forever'. At one point I had 2.5 weeks worth of messages on my phone with no problems. Now it can be 1-2 days and they auto delete. Any ideas?

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
First thing? Check the File Free at Options > Status, what is the number at File Free? Now, remove the battery of your device, hold a minute, replace and reboot. What is the File Free now?

Getting text messages to delete on Today themes

I downloaded some Today themes from Bplay and am having an issue. Whenever I receive a text message I read it and then delete it. However, when I go back to the start page the message still shows up. When I go into the actual SMS folder the message is not there, it just shows up on the home screen. If I take the battery out and put it back in the messages will then be gone from the home screen. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem or is it just a problem with certail themes? Thanks

i foundi found the battery pull the only answer, have also noted that this happens if the message arrives whilst in the holster, also this only started happening whilst i was abroad, and has continued since return home,...... anyone else any ideas other than keep battery pulling.

Can text messages be deleted before they are read?

After writing a text message to several recipients I realized I had the wrong date on it. Since none of the messages have been read yet, am I able to delete the entire text message?

Once you tap "send" they are confined to the ether and you cannot get them back. What I often do is not fill in the "to" field in my messages and emails until I am satisfied that the message is correct. After that I fill that field and that way I cannot accidentally send the message before I am ready. Sometimes I compose a message/email and wait until the next day and review and decide whether I still want to send.... sometimes I decide not to send.

My text messages are deleting before I can read them

My text messages delete before I can read them. I can see that someone attempted to text my phone but the message isn't there. Anyone else have this issue?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Text message wont delete

I was sending a text message earlier & it froze up so i closed the app & when i opened it back up & said it was sent to unknown & when i try to delete it, it will delete but then come right back...is there anything i can do? it is very frustrating!

Hi, I had the same problem and it wouldn't go away for a week. But if you repeatly sync your phone with iTunes after you delete it a couple times, it will eventually go away at least it with me! Just be patient, I know it was very annoying!

Text Messaging Contacts

I just updated the OS on my device to 10.2.1.2122 and it has caused two issues. The most annoying one is that all my text messages now just show the phone number of the person instead of matching the number to the contact list and showing me the name. It also shows all the phone numbers with a leading '1' which it did not before. Anyone have any idea why this has changed and how I can fix it? I much prefer to see the name of the person who has messaged me.
The other minor thing is that the settings screen now has a black background with white writing instead of a white background. Is this a preference I can change somewhere?
Thanks for any help on these.

You can not text message your contacts from the VZ site a.k.a Backup Assistant. If you would like to communicate with one of your contacts via text on the web click here for our vtext service. Thanks.

Text messages just delete!

When I am writing a text message and the phone rings, the message just deletes! Does it really delete, or does it just dissapear and I don't know where to find it? Is there no outbox, or drafts folder that I can set up?

It doesn't exist. But you can delete them fairly quickly by clicking the "Edit" button on top of the Messages app and checking a screenful of (8) messages. That gets rid of 8 conversations at a time.

All my text messages were deleted

My phone has been working fine all day/morning. I go to use it and i get a text message that says 7645 from a five digit number. I close the message and then when I go to read my old text messages, all of them were gone. Wth? Are they gone forever? I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and no luck there.

Hi Kristin,
If you haven't already, try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
When you plugged the iPhone into the computer did you try restoring it from a backup?
You can right click the iPhone, on the left side of iTunes, and choose restore from backup as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
+"Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store."+ from the article linked above.

Why are my text messages auto-deleting?

As of 3 days ago, my text messages have been autodeleting themselves after a week or so. Now I see when I woke up this AM that they only go back to Sunday... How can I change this? I see nothing in the options or message setup that deals with this. I have plenty of memory on both my card and device for message storage. Help!

Hi Satyrjcrog,
The Low Memory Manager (LMM) is activated automatically when the available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone decreases to less than 400 KB. Flash memory is used to store BlackBerry smartphone applications such as messages, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, and third-party applications.

All Text Messages Were Deleted On Their Own & I Can't Do A Restore

I have an iPhone4 and this morning I woke up and see that my laptop (windows) had been restarted due to updates. My phone was plugged in to the laptop because it was charging. I have a password on my laptop so once I put the password in, it is like turning it on and of course it starts charging my phone and itunes starts doing a sync. I did not know that my messages were deleted until I went to send someone a message and that is when I noticed all messages were gone except the ones that I just received this morning. I tried to do a restore but it said I couldn't do a restore because I didn't have enough space available(even after I deleted a bunch of stuff). Long store short, I been trying to fix this problem all morning and a few syncs have been done so I'm asking for help. Are my messages now gone for good? Is there anything I can do to retrieve them?
Side Note:This may or may not mean anything but my phone has been running slow for the last 2 days.
