FIX: Updated my phone with the new pkg mgr, messed up my text messaging visibilty

[brandee621]

ok I don't have the same problem as everyone else so tell me if anyone has ever experienced this: while trying to updt my phone with the new pkg mgr, somehow(and I say somehow becuz I have NO clue what I did to do this) I messed up my text messaging visibilty whereas I can SEE the list of msgs from various people, but can't OPEN them anymore to read the full msg. Also I tried to send one. So when I did the screen was totally blank, like no thread becuz I also had type in the name or number of the person. I couldn't physically see it was sent until I went bk the LIST. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated guys!

I am soooo not the expert here, but I have seen Shada and others recommend webOS Repair Utility, and then webOS Doctor if the Utility does not work, for other similar basic function problems, so this may be the solution for you as well. Anyone else? Please?

I assume you mean the package manager for Preware. First thing I would do is to check what patches you have installed. If any seem suspicious remove them. If this doesn't solve the problem, remove the other patches. And reboot your phone in between removing patches. If still the problem persists, uninstall the package manager and preware. If none of this works, download the WebOS repair utility and see if that fixes the problem. If not come back and post what happened.
