So as I was reading in another thread someone is having issues trying to delete messages that have large amounts in a specific thread...is it possible to create an app the will delete all messages or specific threads without making your phone freeze up and require a force close?

I have deleted large msg threads before in the 1500 range ... and was just patient while it was working ... I had no force close ... I backup my msg threads before deleting them ...

Hmm that is interesting seeing as how if i were to try that I would and did get a force close...
 
For some of my friends I just let message chains grow and grow...could this hinder performance on my phone? I never thought about it before now, but as people mentioned issue with deleting threads/msgs it got me thinking.

Yeah, from time to time you should definetly delete some messages... it can make phones really slow to have a full memory^^
 
I always just assumed that the text messages get stored on the SD card. Are they actually stored on phone memory?Also, is backing up text messages that important? Are any of us ever going to go back and read those messages again? 90% of my messages would probably be "hey, where are you?"Anyway, what application do you use to backup text messages?
