iPhone - Text Messaging Problems

[SnipeMasterJ13]

Yesterday texting worked just fine. I didn't connect to a computer or sync or anything.

Later on last night, I could only respond to people who texted me. The "Messages" button in the top left and "Clear" in the top right are not responsive whatsoever. So I can only check one person's text messages(the one who sent one last), and then cannot clear them or go back to the list of people texting me.

I CAN press "Call" and the phone will call that person, or "Contact Info" to bring up their contact information. If I do that, then it won't let me go back to the text message conversation, either.

I was on 2.0.1 and it was jailbroken using QuickPwn or whatever. I did a restore and updated it to 2.0.2 and it's no longer jailbroken, etc, and the problem still exists. Also, all of my apps were crashing immediately, both on jailbroken software and freshly updated and restored software. WTF????

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: I got it into DFU mode and restored from there to reinstall firmware. It's still acting the same way. Great way to add to my already super shitty past few days...

I think you can do a hard restore by holding both the Home button and the Lock button for a while. It should restart and prompt you to connect it to iTunes, then it should redownload the firmware and do a full restore.

If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to take it to an Apple Store.

Ok, just tried that. I held both buttons down and the power slider comes up, which I ignored. Then it automatically restarted like normal and never prompted for iTunes. Still acting the same way. I don't think I did the hard restore correctly...

Try releasing the buttons as soon as you see the Apple logo.

Even if it's an original iPhone? And to make it worse, I didn't buy this from the store. My boss upgraded to a 3G, and I got her old one. My guess is that she is going to have to be the one to deal with it. I'll call the store and see what that plan of attack should be.

Odd, I had this same problem. I called apple care and they knew of the issue and said they were working on a fix. Monday morning my phone was working again. I think its something with itunes.
