Force close issues

I don't know what the deal is lately, but when I try to delete text messages, it just will NOT do it. It looks like it is "working" on it forever, then it goes to force close!!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
 
How many are you trying to delete? If you let them get too high (ie. thousands), the phone will have issues.
 
Ha ha, that might be the issue! I don't think I have ever deleted a text until now. Maybe if i try to delete one thread at a time it will work itself out?
 
Try that. If it doesn't work, try SMS Backup and Restore from the market. I seem to remember someone saying that it fixed their undeletable texts problem.
 
Just be patient. Let it sit there "waiting" and when it asks to "force close" just hit "wait" and wait some more. It'll be gone eventually.
