Correcting SMS crashing on iPhone
Having used the iPhone for some testing, I saw that some SMSes corrupted the database file and the SMS app no longer worked. It would simply quit when I tried to open the SMS. The Apple suggested way to fix this problem would be to reset the iPhone by using the Settings » General » Reset » Erase all Content and Settings. But this would mean that you would have to resync your iPhone again. The easiest way I have found to do this is as follows.
- Install iNdependence 1.2.2.
- Install AppTap.
- Download any Terminal app from within the AppTap installer on the iPhone.
- Open the terminal app and enter these commands:
Note that you will lose all your saved SMS messages.$ bash $ rm Library/SMS/* - Exit the terminal app.
- Restart your iPhone.
