I've posted about this before, but I tried again today to fix my iMessages. And it worked, but only slightly!

I found that I could scroll down to the same person each time but it crashes each time I get close to the texter below it, I do not know who this is.

I think this may be a case of the 'Effective power glitch' which you can google, although I do not know how to figure out who sent this. I tried sending "please ignore this sorry" to everyone in my contacts which pissed off a few people, but not only that but it didn't work..

If anyone knows a direct fix to this, or simply how to clear all iMessages without having to go on the app, that would be VERY helpful. thank you.

Haha, felt like it!

I finally cracked it after 2 months. If anyone else has this issue this is what to do:

- Open siri, and ask "read all unread messages". They will tell you when it was sent, by who, and then what it is.

- When you get one which starts with "power" and then a string of random arabic text, tell siri to reply.

- You can reply with anything. I personally responded with "Thanks for crashing my phone, arsehole." This will fix it completely and you can open it up as normal, including the text itself.

I don't have the person who sent it in my contacts, but I've put their number on my twitter and facebook, asking anyone who knows them to let me know. I am going to go Helen Wood on whoever it is if I know them.

Ever since I got that power message my phone has been resetting itself randomly
