Set up Vario II yesterday, all appeared fine, installed all my 'must have' software and was ecstatic.
However, I discovered that despite having 'ticked all the right boxes' in options, a soft reset made all my texts (inbox and sent) vanish.
When I created a new folder in inbox to store read messages, and soft reset, this vanished too.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?
Also, if I hard reset and then install a backup, will this re-install the problem?
Any ideas welcome.

Lost messages
I too have disappearing texts on my Tytn. It appears to be just sms messages that disappear and its very frustrating. Its possible it happens after a soft reset and if I havent opened the unread sms prior to reset - also I know its not for this topic but I have also found that my device freezes if I try and open my text messages whilst syncing with WMP. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Actually I have lots of syncing issues with Tytn. Better post a topic. Anyone know of any decent sync software. Activesync is crap!

how do you soft-reset? if you softreset using the stylus it won't write the txt messages and other settings to the memory. If you softreset using the on/off button it should write the messages to the memory. Hold the on/off button for a few seconds and press yes when the message appears on the screen!
Aha!
All of a sudden my text messages don't disappear, in fact, ever since I installed Wisbar lite task manager, which has a soft reset button in the task manager.
On the Vario, holding down the on/off button only closes the device.
So, in conclusion, I reckon that on this machine (didn't used to happen on my old 2003SE) if you use the stylus to reset, then you lose texts, if you use another method then you don't.
Let's hope that's it.

A while ago my Magician stopped notifying me of new messages. Actually, they do show up on the Today screen, but I never the the sound notification. It is definitely enabled in the Sounds & Notifications control panel, and it works when I press the play button there.
It is quite annoying to always miss text messages!
Anyone got a clue how to fix this?
Did you used Sprite backup for restoring your messages? I had the same problem. It's quite annoying, but with a Hard Reset the problem is solved. So my advice is that you should not use Sprite (if you did)
If you use pocket zen phone ... are the sounds also configured in there. The i-mate uses the pocket zen phone profiles, which overrule the standard windows sounds and notifications.
I had the problem not keeping a vibrate alert when receiving a text message.
But I haven't got any idea how the notifications can disappear. Maybe it somewhere caused by some software, hope for you it's the mentioned Sprite Backup.
No I haven't used Sprite Backup or Pocket Zen Phone. One day it just stopped working. Quite annoying!
Hi, I'm having a a slight problem with my XDA2. After an accidental hard reset when I was changing my simcard, I restored it using activesync but now there's a rather annoying problem with the sms menu where there's one sms that I cannot delete. The annoying part is when that sms counts as unread and now the today screen constantly shows I have one unread message when in truth there's none. I tried moving the messages to another folder but now I have another undeletable sms in my drafts folder(and when i try to open these messages, a blank message comes up even though the content summary shows perfectly well on the message list screen). I also have one more corrupted message in my inbox that shows [no sender] and [no subject] which remains at the top of the list and cant even be opened. I try to open it, the messafe opening screen transition comes out but then nothing happens. I'm sorry if I may seem ranting on but this is my first pda and I'd rather not lose all the SMS i keep in my archive folder. Any help is appreciated. Oh, after reading some posts here to find a solution, no, I'm not using Sprite Backup or anything.
I have exactly the same problem except I have more ghost messages, I am using sprite backup though if that has any relevance...?
any ideas?
yeah i had the second problem with the sms u can't open on my xda II, but i had hundreds that i couldn't view or delete.
seemed the only way to fix it was to hard reset.. but u might try and get that pocket mechanic i think it is, where you can edit the system databases.. just a thought.
You may use dbView to directly delete these messages from WinCE database (make backup first).
Most probably this message is located somewhere in fldrXXXX data table.
Hey Guys,
I'm having trouble with my Messaging program. It sometimes doesn't show messages, and sometimes it shows empty messages. Sometimes I delete items, but it'll still say "2 unread messages".
It's driving me insane, it's not been a week since I hard reset and installed everything from scratch.
My MMS is screwed up as well! I try to send a message, it gets sent but the Magician keeps my message in the outbox. I go to the outbox and see that i have 1 unread mesage which does not show itself on screen! I was also sent some MMS Messages and the same thing happened, as the magician says 2 items unread, but does not show the message itself. :shock:
the only workaround i've done is to do a hard reset and restore my data (thanks to sprite backup)! its frustrating that i cant get my mms to work on the magician. any clues as to how this can be solved?
Yeah, that's what I did as well. But I reinstalled everything manually... because the last Sprite Backup I had was also messed up in Messaging.
Its becouse of spritebackup i think...
So... the solution would be to not backup your messages with Sprite?
The problem is Sprite messing up the Pocket Outlook databases. Not using Sprite for messages is an obvious workaround, but I think I read in a thread on this site that Sprite has a fix as well. You might want to check their website.
HI all,
I am running PointUI on my Wing in Windows Mobile 6, and yesterday I noticed that I have a phantom unread message in my sms inbox. I say phantom because I have cleared everything out and there shouldn't be anything in there, but the bottom of that inbox screen which gives you the message totals count says 1 unread sms. Also, the PointUI interface is showing a 1 in the sms icon like there is a message, but I can't find it. The indicator LED light is not amber but it's driving me nuts. I have tried several soft boots to see if that corrected the problem and it did not. Also, I have rebooted and not started PointUI and the issue is still there on the windows today screen.
Has anyone ever had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie
I have had a similar issue with phantom unread email messages a couple of times. I found a small program on this site which fixed it for me.
Do a search for "fixunreadcount" on this site, and you should find it. If it does not turn up, let me know and I will check to see if I still have a copy saved on my PC.

I couldn't find a program for that and it's still doing it. I've even dropped PointUI and still have the phantom message on the original today screen.

Sorry for the hijack, but I was hoping others who have had this problem could maybe suggest other things to try. I tried the fixunreadcount.exe program, it said it corrected the SMS inbox from 1 to 0, ran it again, came up OK, did a soft-reset and it still shows 1 on the Home screen and says "0 items, 1 unread" in the inbox. Grr. I've tried running the fixunreadcount several times, it corrects from 1 to 0 every time, I've tried the inbox settings registry change that someone in another thread suggested, nothing makes that stupid 1 go away. Maybe it's time to reflash....
EDIT: I ran the fixunreadcount three more times, trying a combination between soft-resetting and powering down, and it FINALLY cleared it! I can now say this program works...eventually!
Thank you, this fixed it for me. After running the program it required a soft reset.
In my situation the actions that led to this situation was that I had sent one SMS to multiple receivers and was "cleaning" the SMS folder by deleting the message received notifications. During this I received other "message received" notifications and as of the result of this the "unread count" remained in "1" (one). My assumption was that one of the deleted notifications was moved from the inbox to the deleted items, but somehow the "system" did not remove it from the inbox. I assume this is a "rare" situation and was partially caused by me accessing the device while I got more notifications. Device was HTC Diamond - first generation and I'm running WM6.1 build 20764.1.4.3.
cheers guys. it fixed my issue on the TP2
For me 2. Thanks.
Hi guys
The SMS notification icon on the Home screen shows a "1" in green circle but there are no unread text messages in the folder. I have cleared out/deleted every single text message (from inbox, sent items, deleted, outbox, drafts, etc) and done a soft reset but the SMS icon on the Home screen still shows as having 1 new SMS! Also, when i go in to the Windows Messaging (as opposed to HTC's skinned version), it shows that i have 1 new/unread SMS even though when i go in to the folder, there's nothing there.
What can i do to clear this anomaly?
Thanks guys
Mo
Is there anything in the registry that controls the SMS notification on the home page - just something i could clear/change the value?? I'm desperate as don't want to hard reset and i've tried everything else (i think).
Thanks
Thanks to onthemail for the fix:

run program and do reset reset.
Cheers
Mo
the fix works!
Thank you thank you! I have been in to the AT&T store multiple times and they were completely unable to help! I had to soft reset after running the fix, but then it worked like a charm!
