Unable to delete all messages

i am trying to empty my sms inbox but the option to delete/empty an entire message folder is deselected.
i go to: text messages > menu > folders, and option 3.Clear Text Messages in unable to be selected.
anyone have any ideas to re-enable this option?
thanks!
Ummm what Rom version are you using, did you update your phone at all ever since you recieved it. Cause all you do is pretty much go to menu > folders > menu (again) and delete message on every folder that you want to delete it from.

i am using rickys latest rom. i know how to do it, the problem is the option to delete all is not highlighted and available for selection...although i can see the option.
Oh yah I know what you mean try this go to your inbox where you can see your messages and you will have to delete each manually, and then empty the trash... this is the only way you can pretty much do it...
Does the ROM have Q Inbox Extender included?

is this the only way you can do it too? i swear that i used to be able to empty all messages from the folders menu...
same problem with mine- when deleting messages manually 1 by 1, the loading thing just spins and never actually deletes the messages. someone please help, my phone is so slow its almost useless
@johnnylavah:
Install Q Inbox Extender. It will give you the functionality to remove all messages.
@suprajztwenty:
Sounds like your cemail.vol is corrupt. Remove it, you will loose all your MMS, SMS and e-mail. It will re-create when you soft reset and should fix your issue.
easier fix, go to settings-accessability- sms threading-DISABLE!, then delete your messages, and go back and turn threading back on...hope it helps

i can't send any txt message

hi all
sorry about my bad english.
i flashed a new rom:Artemis Touch 4.02 Vanilla, anything is fine except that i can't send any txt message!
example:
i clicked the " No unread messages" on Today screen, then clicked "TXT messages" in Meaasging. the next setp was click "menu" and "new", but nothing happend!
i don't know why, when i used the original rom of T-mobile's , anything was ok!
what kind of reason resulted in this problem?
thanks in advance and best regards to anyone.
I read about this when i used touch 4.xx its a vcard issue, search and install "startup manager" then remove all vcard startup items and you should then send messages again
cheers mate
i installed "startup manager", it works well, but i cannt find someting like what u said.
another stupid question, what is "vcard"?
thanks again
its a virtual card
all contact saved in ur phone and PC is saved as vcard extension .vcf...
u see ????
hah, i finally find the reason,it is a software compatibility, when i uninstall that stupid sofeware, everyting is perfect.
thanks anyone
what software
not a popular thing, just a lovely font, but it also changed that compose_sms.htm, so ...
i think it works well with wm6, like it's instruction said.

Outlook Sync Question

How do I force the sync so that it copies all the phone contacts to my PC Outlook and not the other way....
Cheers
I have this identic question?
Please help
hi
hmm not sure what u r asking,
When u connect mob to comp it syncs it by copying info on one device to other device that doesnt have it. If u got same item on both with different info it defaults to copying item from comp to one on the phone. U can change this in options after u connect mobile. Just stop syncing with stop button, then go in active sync to tool/options and u will find "if there is a confict bla bla select what to overwrite with what" just change it and u r done. Sadly u gotta do this again if u want it differently next time, ie from comp to mobile again.
If thats not what u asked, then u can always delete all contacts on either comp or mobile and it will copy the others...or make another account in outlook...
All the best

In simple terms, lets say that you have all your contacts on your phone and none in Outlook on your PC. Which would be copied? Would your contacts be copied to your PC or would they be deleted off your phone as they would be copied from your PC.
Can you force it to copy phone ---- PC or PC --- Phone
ahm
Well I answered all of that in my previous post...
They would be copied from where they r to where they arent.
It doesnt delete anything if there r not same contacts with same fields,
it just adds what isnt there both ways...which is why its called syncing...
If there is same value contact/field it will by default overwrite the one on the phone. I explained in the previous post how to change this, so it overwrites the one in outlook.
All the best

It didn't for me.... I wanted all my phone contacts on to Outlook (Which had none). I then clicked sync and Bingo I lost all my contacts.....
Good job I had backed them up...
right...
I always back up everything, and in many ways, so forget to tell ppl to do so, hoping everyone by now knows always to use backup with comps, mobs etc, luckily u do.
When i connect my device(xperia x1) to comp activsync starts, then it says "looking for changes" then a menu POPS UP asking weather i want to combine items or replace(seems to me this didnt happen for u just did it automatically).
Still the second thing i said will surely work for u.
To repeat, connect the phone, the second it starts syncing stop by clicking icon stop on main screen of activsync. Go to activsync menu, go to tools
then go to options, then settings, then under "if there is a conflict" change
"replace item on device" with "replace item on desktop"
BTW im on Windows xp, Activsync 4.5 build 5096, xperia x1.
If this dont work, i rly dunno anymore... make sure ur contacts r on device not sim card, maybe delete device in activsync then connect again etc, rly dunno, hope this one works, i touch type and doing this while pages load for me to download various add ons, but tried to help more then enuf...
again all the best,
Dane

Stupid question.

I'm trying to figure out how to switch a phone contact from Phone Contact to Google contact.
Id just make another contact as a Google contact the delete the other one off the phone, or you can log into Google online and add the contact through there and it will push it to your phone automatically.
Here's a bit easier way:
1. Open your People App
2. Navigate to Menu>Import/Export
3. Export to SD Card
4. Go to http://www.gmail.com
5. Log in
6. Go to your contacts on the left (I can't get to the page at work so work with me here)
7. There should be an option to import contacts
8. Upload the .vcf file that is on your /sdcard
If the browser on your phone won't let you, just transfer it to your desktop (usb, emial, dropbox...whichever way is your flavor) and upload it from there.
You can now delete all of your contacts and sync with Google to have them downloaded to your phone.
I was just trying to change a couple of contacts on my wifes phone. She didnt know that you should put them as a google contact so if anything happened there never lost. I'm getting ready to take her from Ava to Myn cause thats what I went to and I think Myn will have an update for the new software update before Ava. And it's fast as hell!
Yea, that method is good if ALL your contacts need to be changed. If you only need to change a couple, just make a new contact, as a Google contact, then delete the old one. I just tried on my phone, and there is no way to change them for some reason. You can change everything else about the contact, except changing from phone to google.
