Ok so to avoid the long delete time and memory problems I had my old phone (DInc1) set to delete old messages with a cap at 200. This option can be found in the stock messaging app under general settings then storage settings.
Since I got the Inc2, this option doesnt work, I've tried rebooting, turning the option on/off, etc. no luck.
Anyone have any ideas on why this wont work? Its set to automatically delete messages past 200 but I have convos that are up to 800+.

When I try to save pictures that are in mms, I get an error saying insert sd card. Is their anyway to change the location for saving pictures or media from a mms?

i'm curious about this. are you saying that in mms when you long press the actual photo or the arrow pointing to message options and the option to save pops up, when you select save, that's when you get the sd card message?
maybe try resetting your phone?
Thats exactly the issue. Having same problem here...its just getting VERY annoying to keep restarting the phone to get this to work....
I had the same issue with stock massaging app. Never managed to fix it but Go Sms works fine with saving pictures. The only advice I can give is to use another messaging app. we shouldn't have to though I know.

possibly the stock app mms max size limitation (300k) may be affecting ability to save?
Don't you guys get this pop-up when you long press on the MMS image you want to save? Mine are sent to the downloads folder.

Fix
I solved this issue by installing a 3rd party sms app (like chomp or go sms) and saving it from there.

I appreciate your thoughts, but I really want to stick with the stock messenger.
I will say that messaging around in the messanger settings ,hitting the default settings tab has fixed this issue so far

Seems like the reset worked for me aswell. I never had this issue when I first got the phone, this is something that seems to have happened during on of the upgrades, at least for me.
Also the option to set save point for images is grayed out in the MMS settings, I checked the selected value and even though the settings says to save to the phones storage it still asks for the SD card.
Anyhow I'm glad the reset worked. thanks for the answer
Is there a way to delete messages by date? I've tried backing up and restoring them using SMS backup and restore and set a date but they all came back. If I try to delete threads my phone locks up. I have about 20,000 texts
I wish there was a way to see them through windows explorer and delete them that way... I can't get anything to open. Ah!!!
If you use SMS backup and you use your gmail to sign in. You can go into gmail from your comp.(probably your phone) abs you can delete them by date that way.

That's a copy though. My phone has locked up and had to been forced off like 6 times now. There are too many to delete it just freezes. I set a limit in go SMS days ago and it never deletes any. This is ridiculous.
And now go SMS pro won't open either. And the phone can't force close it. The whole thing just locks up wtf.

Wait. How many SMS programs are you syncing to? You said SMS backup. Then go SMS. ? Do you have backups to both?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
SMS backup & restore makes an XML file on my external SD. Go SMS pro shouldn't be backing anything up.
I use the stock app to send MMS because go uploads it to their servers and that creeps me out lol. But the stock app CANNOT handle that many texts being there.
Go is working a little better (I can send a text) now that I went in recovery and cleared cache, davik and fixed permissions.
I still think I need to try and get rid of old texts but every time I try programs just lock up.
Have you tried History eraser?
Or delete data for it. Just dump them all.

Well I have SMS backup +. It syncs all my SMS, call logs, etc with Google. I don't have any XML in my phone. Whenever I restore my phone I DL the app and sign in and hit restore and it pulls it from my Google account. That's what I was showing you earlier. But I'd have to test if it actually syncs when I erase from gmail to the app.

History eraser or historyeraser?? I'll try! But I don't know if it'll work. On SMS backup & restore I hit delete all messages and after an hour the little circle was still spinning.
Can someone please tell me where the texts are stored. Any app just freezes my phone and I have to reboot.
I'd love to watch you drag this along for two more days but I think I speak for everyone on this site. Just factory reset your phone and get over it.

That would have been extremely moronic to do. I just deleted the SMS database. I also got in touch with the backup & restore people about batch removing texts from the XML output.
What a stupid suggestion.
Hey man I've had this happen to me. It happened when I would flash a new rom, and didn't turn off the auto delete after 200 and then restored my 7k texts... Honestly once in a while I'd get lucky and be able to usually... I had to re flash the ROM. Haven't found a better solution yet

Hey Guys.
I just received my Optimus G Pro from the US. I have unlocked it and its working fine in the UK on EE. However when I open up contacts it keeps trying to load AT&T Address Book which is really annoying. I just press back and it goes back to the regular contacts menu, but is there any way of disabling it? I have managed to disable all of the other AT&T bloatware from the main application drawer. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Go in to your setting and under accounts and sync you can disable it. Its in the general section.

I don't see an option to disable that. If I click on it it opens up and wants to sync. Long pressing does nothing and there are no check boxes to uncheck.
Thanks but I tried that and there is no option to disable it. Is there any other way or will I have to root?

You can go into apps in setting then to Att address book and stop it from there too. On mine I can just tap Att address book in the sync area and the it opens up and then you can check it or not to stop the sync

If you're rooted then you can always change the AAB.apk to AAB.bak with Root Browser (or any other root file explorer) and that'll disable it. I prefer this method to uninstalling just in case I need to do a software upgrade-it's easy enough to reverse without having to flash back to stock.

After you get into your contacts, go into settings -> display options then scroll to the bottom and select customize. UNCHECK at&t address book. After that it shouldnt try to open it.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium
If rooted do not uninstall de AT&T adress book. It is tied with the stock contac app. And if you do like i did in the past with at&t phones you will not be able to open the stock contac app. Your phone will say Apk not found. And then you will have to download a contac app like go contacs. It is best to just disable it. Very clever at&t with theyre crap.

There are several options. The easiest thing is to make the root and then uninstall AT & T Address Book, all you do with Rom ToolBox. For the other applications. You just have to enter settings - Applications - All - Looking for the At & t and then: Force stop, turn off the notifications, delete the cache and then turn off. That's it!! It's that easy. If my information help you, just give clicking Thanks!
Other solution
I know this is an old post, but maybe someone know how can I remove the AT&T address book without rooting the device. Every time I'm on wifi or 3g and I open contacts this application opens first. It is extremely annoying. I just have an app from work which requires from device not too be rooted so I must find some other solution.
Thank you.
I never set mine up and it doesn't pop up. Maybe click through it without setting it up? There must be a way to do it because I haven't used root to force any of my AT&T apps. There's also an att address book options under accounts and sync. Maybe you can use that to stop it.

Nothing works, those AT&T guys closed all the options I could think off. In accounts they doesn't have the option to stop it. BTW, I never set mine up as well. But every time I get into "contacts" it starts connection with the AT&T address book to give me instructions how to set it up. It is really, really annoying.
Thank you.
A little late, but...
On my LG G2, I cannot disable the AT&T address book, but I never see it or use it during normal use. The only time I see it is if I either look into the apps section (where it can be stopped, but cannot be disabled), or if I go into "Accounts and Sync", where is shows the accounts such as Google, Skype, etc. If I click on "AT&T Address Book" there, it opens and asks:
Do you want to sync this device with the contacts in your online AT&T Address Book?
I click on "No", and it says
Activate AT&T Address Book at a later date by simply selecting AT&T Address Book from the settings menu of your device address book.
I of course would never do that.
I found a menu yesterday with "hidden menus" app from the play store. Try dialing *#*#2666#*#* and setting "registration" to "completed". You might also tinker with those settings and see if it stops it.

Thank God for small favors (and good info) this is the only thing that worked for me. I used to root and uninstall it or flash a dif. Rom. But I wanted the updates I missed and the future ones, so I flashed back to stock and of course got the cursed "you cant stop me, haha" ATT address book!!!
My girlfriend's s3 is telling her that memory is full when she's trying to send me pics or vids. She has very sufficient amount of space on external and internal memory so know that isn't a problem. Do you guys have any idea as to what it can be?
So she can take the pics and videos but just not send them? Maybe try another messaging app. I've been using gosms since the beginning and never had problems with it

So go to setings then to the apps section and then to the specific app and force stop it? Then try it again? What about if she deletes unwanted files in the whatsapp folder that's automatically saved then see if she can send?

I have my phone set up with the back button to kill, so I just open chomp and use the back button to kill and open again. As for the other question, I'm not sure. Is she rooted? If so, install xposed and I believe wanum has the option of back button to kill.
