Sms won't delete goes to dec 31 1969

Ok I have searched with no avail. When I delete my messages it goes back to dec 31 1969. Now I have handcent installed. I have tried deleting thru thestock never but that doesn't work either. I have tried 3 different roms and no luck. last x I had before the 2.3 update I could just install ss rom and it would be fixed but not now. Someone has to know what is going on.

Not 1 person has a clue as to what is going on?

It's a negative timestamp glitch based on the Unix epoch (the number of seconds since 1/1/1970).

It sounds like one of the messaging apps is doing an incomplete delete of the messages.

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>app>clear cache

Try that.

Sometimes on reboot the clock on my phone says "7:00pm 12/31/1969", but it quickly changes to the correct time and date. If you blinked you would miss it.

There is nothing in the cache to clear so I cleared all data and still nothing.

Any other ideas?

SMS messages from 1969

I too had text messages that would not delete, or more specifically, if I deleted a thread or message, it would come back with the date of 12/31/1969. Stopping the message and clearing data did not work.
Instead of trying to delete each individual thread, I selected "Delete threads" from menu of messaging window. That cleared all messages.

I just solved the problem on my phone. Go to the Android Market and download History Eraser. Have it delete all SMS messages and you will be all set.

Im having the same problem as of today...I tried the history eraser and anti virus erasers and pretty much anything short of reseting my phone....im getting frustrated.
