Text and email tab on today screen wont open

[badb4c]

The middle and left tab wont open however the right one, the call tab, will open my calls. I even went to a held call, clicked options or whatever, and clicked send text message and it wont open. I have sent a few test emails and texts and it wont recieve them. It was working fine, put it on the charger and went to sleep. When I woke up nothing will open now. Several soft resets and pulled the battery and let sit for a while. Running stock o.s. and still locked. I havent added anything new or changed anything in a few weeks. When you click those two tabs they will "highlight" still, they just don't seem to take you to the shortcut.

Any thoughts?

this just happened to me last week. i took my phone to the sprint store and they told me windows had gotten corrupted and this is something that happens (with windows). he said i had to do a hard reset, but to sync my phone before hand to insure i backed up my contacts.
i did this once i got home, hard reset my touch, and i had to reinstall everything i had added to my touch, unfortunately this is what you'll have to do...ironically this happened again this week end, and i had to do the same thing over again. i hope to not have a repeat a third time.
by the way when it happened the first time i was downloading software for weather apps to my touch from the web on my touch and i noticed the unresponsive keys later in the day when i went to send a text... when it says windows doesn't recommend the software don't download it, FYI

Simple FIX without requiring a Hard Reset for the messaging problem.

Go into your Storage Card and delete the INBOX folder. This is where Attachments are stored. there is a known issue with using your Storage card for attachments. If you remove that folder and then do a SOFT reset you will be able to access your messaging again, includng email etc. Be Sure to go into the Email options after and turn off Use the storage card for attachments.

Guaranteed to work. Please let me know if you need any more details.
