I Can't Access Messaging

dson · 09/30/2010, 09:34 AM

Good day.

Need help. I can't access my text messages. Whenever I tap the messaging icon, it just lights up and then nothing happens. I've restarted my phone several times, nothing happens.

What could be wrong with it? What should I do?

Thanks

Do a hard reset(Batt pull) that should fix the problem. :-D

Do what GuyFromNam says. But actually, this happens to me sometimes too. Especially when i syncing something. What i do is that i let the phone sit for a couple of hours without using the message feature and it works again. i can cop with this until webos 2.0 drops. Then i wont put up with all this crap anymore. Considering that "webos 2.0" is a major update. it better fix all the bugs....

if it is just that one message you can not access, is it possible that, that message is corrupt or infected?

The db3 is here:
/var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3
Just run webOS QuickInstall and select Receive File.
It's a pretty obvious from that point on.

thanks man..

i did the first 2 steps, but how do i retrieve the msg from sqlite? i opened the database in sqlite.. can't seem to get anything sensible..

P.S. Please excuse my ignorance

I just started having the same issue. I did the batt pull and it fixed the issue.
Thanks

I used to have the same issue with the phone. I found out that sometime that the theme screws it up. I removed the theme that I had installed on my phone and it fixed it. I of course then reinstalled the theme, and it's running flawlessly.

But then again, I also have overclocked to 1Ghz since then. That tends to fix a lot of problems too!

what happen is i just delete the /var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3 using internalz?
