Hey there HF people !, this is my 2nd post/thread lol !. I just posted a thead about a hour ago because I still need help receiving mms on my Cricket flashed Palm Treo 700w(Verizon) which I've had for about a month now !. Well anyway for about 2days earlier within that month I was talking about, I came across another problem!. I found that in the middle of typing up some text messages(im like a back to back speed texter lol), my Treo will sometimes either just oddly switch over to mms out of nowhere or I would get an incoming call which would result in that unfinished message being sent to the drafts folder but then when I try to go into "drafts" and delete or resume the message it would just freeze and lock up(then I'd have to go start, settings, system, memory, running programs in shut messaging down) !. so I googled and everything else and nobody knew how to get rid of the traped messages !, people even said the talked to the companys and they had no clue !. The only thing that came up as a solution from all the web searching was hard reset but I figured there had to be a better way !. so on that second day after I had a total of like 12 msgs traped in drafts folder, I started to just treat my treo as I would if it was a pc having this problem !. So I thought about what's the main/one thing that is tided to all of my txts since I can't get into drafts by anything that involves the word drafts(couldnt think of any other way to get into that folder besides goin though messaging which leads to freeze lol). So it came to me just like that !, "oh ish its so simple !, silly me lol". I realized that this phone is 1. almost like a regular pc with windows on it, 2. it has the "search" option (in Start, Programs) !, and 3. the one thing that's always going to be connected to my text msgs is my 10digit number !. So that was it !, I taped Start menu with my stylus and then Programs and then Search(regular search NOT SEARCH FOLDER !.). I then typed in my 10digit number as the content to be searched and selected messaging as the area for which to search for my number and wah-la a list of all the text msgs still on my phone appeared !. Now at this point just click on each 1 one by one and delete them all !. That's it !, when you go back into messaging, text message/sms ur drafts box should be empty unless you missed some (all msgs that were traped in drafts should now be in deleted folder !, now just final delete them all *NO NEED FOR A STRESSFUL HARD RESET*) !. Hope this helps everyone with this problem !, not really sure if all the other smartphones and/or pds have this same problem or if they have the search option !, but if so give it a try !. GOOD LUCK !!!...
