Unable to delete all messages

[johnnylavah]

i am trying to empty my sms inbox but the option to delete/empty an entire message folder is deselected.

i go to: text messages > menu > folders, and option 3.Clear Text Messages in unable to be selected.

anyone have any ideas to re-enable this option?

thanks!

Ummm what Rom version are you using, did you update your phone at all ever since you recieved it. Cause all you do is pretty much go to menu > folders > menu (again) and delete message on every folder that you want to delete it from.

i am using rickys latest rom. i know how to do it, the problem is the option to delete all is not highlighted and available for selection...although i can see the option.

Oh yah I know what you mean try this go to your inbox where you can see your messages and you will have to delete each manually, and then empty the trash... this is the only way you can pretty much do it...

Does the ROM have Q Inbox Extender included?

same problem with mine- when deleting messages manually 1 by 1, the loading thing just spins and never actually deletes the messages. someone please help, my phone is so slow its almost useless

@johnnylavah:

Install Q Inbox Extender. It will give you the functionality to remove all messages.

@suprajztwenty:

Sounds like your cemail.vol is corrupt. Remove it, you will loose all your MMS, SMS and e-mail. It will re-create when you soft reset and should fix your issue.

easier fix, go to settings-accessability- sms threading-DISABLE!, then delete your messages, and go back and turn threading back on...hope it helps
