I upgraded to 6.1 about a month ago and everything was working fine at first. Then a couple of weeks ago it started to freeze up when I attempted to open e-mail or sms. It doesn't happen when using any other function or program on the phone, but once it starts I have to soft-reset.
It doesn't do it every time. Sometimes I can send and receive twenty text messages before I have a problem. Other times it happens the first message after resetting. And other times, it just doesn't show me the letters I'm typing but moves the cursor forward.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any advice on how to solve it? I'm not really fond of having to do a soft reset half a dozen times a day.

I've gotten it twice now. It'll say 1 unread message, when all are read. You can try emptying messages, but it still says 1 unread.
Is there any type of fix for this other then reloading the rom?
I found this little program the last time this happened on my Wing - it has happened twice, but the first time, I had to hard-reset for another reason, which took care of the problem.
I had to fool around a little with this, trying different combinations of runnning the app and soft resetting before I got the result I was looking for.
Anyway, here it is, good luck with it.

About a week ago I hit delete and let it do its work over night since it was going to take forever.
First off, my Tilt only deleted the messages in the inbox, not the outbox. Then a few days later I reset my phone to check something, then ALL my text messages were back, and all of the texts that I've sent/gotten in between were gone.
Is there a certain way I'm suppose to delete this stuff?
I don't know how that happened, and I cannot think of any kind of special procedure to deleting SMS messages. What happens if you just delete like 10 at a time? Does that work?

Well the thing about that, I have over 20,000 text messages stored on my phone hah.. So doing 10 at a time would just take wayyy too long.
Whenever I hit my soft reset button, all my text messages from that day to a couple days before are gone. It's kinda weird and I don't quite understand it. But yeah, I'm just trying to figure out a way where I can delete them all to where they won't come back hah. Who ever thought it'd be so hard.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
I can't view MMS messages now because it tells me to clear more space. I've deleted several large size mms messages off of my phone, on top of a grip of text messages to clear space, but it hasn't cleared anything. How can I fix this?
Hard-Reset
I had the same problem on my T-Mobile MDA...never did figure it out. But whenever I deleted them, they always came back. I haven't tried deleting all my texts on the Tilt yet.

I think unpredictable things start to happen when you have upwards of 20000 messages.
The other week my phone crashed and i had to hard reset it because it was carrying 47000 SMS messages, i think the problem i had was the SMS datbase corrupted when i as attempting to delete my biggest thread, with well over 6 months of messages in it.
So yeah, backup your messages if you want them and hard reset, and id try to not let messages get higer than 15000, just so the phone has space to breathe
I have the same problem with msgs that return mysteriously on my ATT tilt running the factory (att) default rom. The first time I tried it I had around 5000 msgs and I ended up having to hard reset. Right now I have around 15,000 msgs and still have the same problem (obviously haha). I'm probably gonna upgrade my rom anyway, but I just figured I'd let you know you're not the only one (and not crazy haha).

It seems txt messaging freezes my phone at sporadic moments during the day and I"m not sure why it's happening... If my phone is asleep, and i try to wake it up and press buttons and it doesn't respond, I can almost guarantee that if I soft reset the phone, and go back to my text messaging, there will be a new msg there and when I check, sure enough, there's a new message. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I don't know if it's a Windows Mobile 6.5 issue or not.. I've used both PDA Corner and TPC's roms and the same thing happens from time 2 time. Anyone else ever experience this?
...let us not forget this is still a form of Windows. I find a soft reset every couple of days and a hard reset every couple of months keeps things running smooth.
Just the other day, I couldn't hear the person on the other end of the phone call. Both incoming and outgoing. Reboot. Fixed.
Especially with aftermarket ROMS, this might just be a fact of life.
been texting a lot lately and just recently ran into a problem running. i was running into issues with the signal dropping completly and then coming back. my friends experienced the same problem so i figured it was just the area we were in. i got a sms notification for 1 unread message the other day and this is where the sms problem started.
upon trying to open the unread message the phone would hang with the 'thinking' circle. the message would open but only after almost 8 minutes. the home screen will say no new messages but when i opening the messaging program it still shows as unread. the phone will hang and become unresponsive if i try to do anything to that unread message.
i cannot send out messages either. i can write them perfectly but the phone will hang once i try to send or save as draft.
lastly, i cannot recieve messages. not sure why. none of my settings have changed. i did a soft reset and deleted the inbox.xxxxx folder on my sd card with no success.
i'd like to see if anyone has a solution to this problem before i try to hard reset. i have a non-modded att tilt running, stock wm6.1 w/o bloatware. radio had never been changed from the wm6.1 upgrade.

cant recieve/send sms
phone is not responsive when sending new message
backed up PIM data and did a hard reset. sms/mms was still not working after the initial reset so I reset it again restored PIM. sms/mms is working again.
I'm using Google keyboard and yesterday started going crazy where the m was being pressed repeatedly. It kept trying to go in my mail app and open the top email and respond. It took a couple of reboots and then it stopped. Why do you think this happened? I've never dropped or had any issues whatsoever with it since day 1. Any ideas?
I'm finding the bottom of my screen does not accurately respond to finger touches. Samsung want's to fix it, but 5 days without a phone.. A BRAND NEW PHONE.
