Hi all,
If i create a new message, the text box gets populated with a PPI text message. I have tried:
Deleteing the message and cancelling the text
Rebooting my phone
Disabling the messaging functions and carrier
Restoring the phone from backup
I would normally format the thing and start again but i want to keep my messages!!
Pretty annoyed with this issue :\
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2
Hi, have you found how to fix this??? I'm having the same problem... TKS
Yell out if yuou find a way Other wise will report back after been to shop tomoro bloody phs!!!
You're in luck, I fixed this myself. Apple suck for support, had nothing but problems from them.
I downloaded a tool called "iBackupBot" and connected my phone to my PC. It will detect the phone and load up a rather long list of files.
You need to find the default template for text messages (Sorry i can't be more specific its been a while!) and you can right click it and edit it as a text file. Delete the annoying text between the lines where it is quoted.
Leave the other code in as it's important (If there is any)
Hope this helps you.
Thank you Wedge!
Here it goes -
1) Download iBackupBot: http://download.cnet.com/iBackupBot/3000-2141_4-10969873.html
2) Plug phone into computer and run backup
3) Use "Explorer" box to find Messages: HomeDomain/Library/SMS/Drafts/(null).draft/
4) In "Null Drafts" there is a file "message.plist"
5) Double click to open, (cancel the popup if you did not purchase the iBackupBot) and you will see the prepopulating message on the <string> line 6
6) Delete the offending text, leave all code
7) Close text editor
8) Right click on message.plist file and select "Restore selected item(s) to device"
9) File will be restored to your phone and it will restart itself.
10) Voila! Now it is time to consider that Windows phone....:)
Hi there,
My phone has been experiencing the same problems. I have followed the steps above but the problem still remains.
What should be in the <string> line 6?
I don't think I took anything except the lengthy text out.
Could someone please reconfirm for me?
Much appreciated.
When i make a new message, It is populating the message box with a PPI text?
