Text messages: 1 unread

Hey guys,
I got a small problem, basically awhile ago, i received an sms, and i read it, but did a soft reset shortly after, anyways, when it booted back up, it still said 1 unread sms on my today screen, and so i went into my inbox, and couldn't find it.
Since then, i've cleaned up my entire inbox, but my today screen still says 1 unread message.
Is there anyway, i can have it back to normal? So it says 0 unread sms's without doing a hard reset?

It might be an undeleted Notification Que. Have you tried Check Notifications by scarybear to clean it up. Here: http://scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

Neat lil program, but still saying one unread!!! This thing is really frustrating me.

I remember I had a similar problem but on a different phone. Basically, did you transfer and use your SIM on another phone? If your answer is YES, just plugged the SIM back in to the other phone and delete the unread message. Then return the SIM to your Universal, and you won't have the unread message anymore. This worked for me, I hope it would worked on yours too.

What do you mean exactly? I havn't made a backup of anything really... and i really don't want to hard reset my device...

I know but this little program fixes poom db....

In case you have not tryed the obvious first....do this.
Open up you inbox, then in the top right hand corner there is a drop down "Sort by menu".... make sure that you have "Recieved" selected there.
Hope that does it for ya.

Solved: No SMS notifications and missing SMS account in Pocket Outlook

Yesterday I noticed that I don't longer hear the SMS incoming sound (doesn't matter which soundfile is selected).
The message arrives and thats it no indication by either blinking, vibrating or alarm.
The problem only occurres with SMS, Emails and MMS are being notified in every possible way as it should be.
I had this problems once before and ended up with hardresetting my terra. Don't want to do that everytime.
I also noticed that the SMS/Text Message account in Pocket Outlook isn't displayed anymore just Outlook and MMS is avaible from the menu.
To avoid misunderstandigs I do receive SMSes and can open them at any time from Pocket Outlook. Just getting no notification alerts and missing the SMS account settings inside Outlook
Anykind of help or a link is very much appreciated.
Cheers!
EDIT:
Problem is solved now

How did you solve this
Hi,
I've got teh same issue.
How did you solve this?
Many thanks...

It's simple.
Just set "SMSAvailable" in the registry to 1 (enable).
This should solve your problem.
Cheers
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:00000001

wtf
hi,
I think i ve got a more serious problem, with the same effects.
I can't see anything else at Messaging accounts, only a "Setup E-mail" button (no messages). I tried to set up an e-mail, but when i finished it goes back to the account select screen, and still only one option, to add a new email account.
After i press X and reactivate the screen on the Task Manager, i can see the Outlook's Inbox, but when i see the folders there arent messages only the Outlook e-mail.
I added the registry key you said, because there was only one key in that folder (nosentmessages 1), nothing changed.
I cooked this rom in my own, had i something missed to put in? If yes, are there any way to install that thing without recooking the rom?
Using WM6.1 Pro
Thanks

Did you try to edit the registry with the setting from post #3?

Unread SMS not even there!

Hi, my JASJAM shows an unread SMS when there is no SMS there.
Not sure how to resolve.
I have the Windows Live WM6 cooked ROM installed, what info will i lose if i hard reset?
Any ideas on how to resolve?

Maybe the Message is in the SIM card, not in the phone...
Download and install SIM Message to browse your SIM card storage:

FixUnreadCount.exe
try this WM software "FixUnreadCount.exe" just made for this problem.

thanks
thank you a million. worked a treat . . . you made my morning.

I _think_ I've had this problem before, and I believe I solved it by using PIMbackup to backup my messages and then re-import them, chosing the option to clear down messages before impot.

thanks

Thank you so much for posting that file and to whoever made it. Found it using the Google search of the forums. Messaging was showing 1 unread message in my outbox which was really annoying me, but this tool worked a treat!

Import messages from SIM to my phone
Hello,
I have an imate Jasjam. My SIM card has a few SMS messages that do not show up on my Jasjam. If I put the SIm in another phone, I can read those messages.
Any idea if there is a software that lets me copy text messages from SIm card to teh phone?
Jerry

fixunreadcount.exe didn't work for me either so here is what I did:
1) Backup using Sprite. Uncheck messages so they aren't included in the backup.
2) Hard reset the device
3) Restore using Sprite
4) Re-setup your email accounts
How to hard reset (from the wiki):
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel

will this work on an htc diamond? I have a pesky message that wont clear...

@willybean
I have a Sprint HTC Diamond and it's constantly showing me 1 unread email, even when there are none. I tried the FixUnreadCount.exe, did a soft reset and it didn't change a thing. It is an annoyance but I guess I can just ignore it. If you find/know of a fix tho.. love to hear it.

Thanks so very much
This worked great on my 8525. Copied the exe to the storage card, ran it and reset. Message cleared.

worked like a charm!!

Thanks dude. Worked like a charm on my Tilt2.

If your sms is in threaded mode, you should read this, if not just ignore it:
"I have met this before, the fact is you have an unread sms in some thread , and this unread sms is relatively old. You need to find this sms in a lot of thread. Or you can switch to normal sms mode, in this way it will be easier to find the unread one."

Thanks to You!
This worked GREAT!

Thanks!
Worked perfectly on my Touch Pro running WM6.5 Energy rom.
It was drivin me nuts!

Worked great!! Thanks so much!!

same problem (fixed!)
hi, I'm new here. I've just bought my first PPC running WM 6.5 and I had the same problem, but this tiny program it's huge solving it! It took 3 seconds! Thank you!!!!

Thank You!

It was driving me insane too. This program saved me from throwing my phone against the wall as hard as I could.

New SMS notifications - won't disappear

Im sorry if this has already been discussed but i couldnt put into words really for a search criteria, im sure im not the only person with this problem.
When an SMS arrives a little green 1 will show by the "letter" on touchFLO 3d, sometimes when you scroll to read the message the little green 1 (or 2 or whatever) doesnt disappear and i have to keep clicking the mail icon, or go into the WM6 message inbox to change it from "New" to "Read".
I think it happens with the email part too, not just SMS.
Anyone know how to solve this, it's as annoying as thrush.
Sorry about my punctuation, i'm from Wales, hehe

Thrush !
It's annoyingly slow to register as read... there may be a registry tweak but a search revealed nothing yet

Thats a Shame I really thought someone else would have susses this with all the tweaks and tidbits.

I am having the same problem but with the email notification. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same pb any suggestion?

Just try to click on the message and it will be open in the text mode and then close it.

I guess what the last post suggests doesn't work for the OP, at least it doesn't work for me. None of my messages are highlighted as 'unread', yet the 'unread SMS' notification at in TouchFlo doesn't disappear.
Anyone has any idea how to get rid of it ?
Thanks

Have the same problem with email...stuck at 2 even thouch all mails have been deleted or read.
Thanks

May I ask if deleting the account itself remove the erroneous counter?

ResetUnreadCount.cab

Guys,
Check your Outlook inbox to make sure there is no unread mails there. The TF3D does not show the Outlook account but the counter in the mail tab does.
I solved my problem that way.

excellent, that worked. many thanks !

You're welcome, this place is a plethora of knowledge.

unfortunately it turns out the cab works only until i recieve a new message, after that the '1 unread message' notification appears again and stays even after i've read the new message.... so i'm back to where I started.
still thanks for the help. any other ideas ?

came across this bit of software but don't know whether it'll act any different from the cab.
Have you looked through every folder in the account-tree yet? Make sure they're all being synchronised as some Imap\webmail accounts can act funny (Inbox\Menu\Tools\Manage folders).
But perhaps the only thing left is to backup and hard reset (without backing up the mailfolders of course)? And otherwise it means executing the cab every time it happens again..

How to back-up my SMS before Hard Reset

Hi guys
sorry for creating a new thread for this. I know it has been answered probably many times before but even after trying 7 - 8 different search combinations I still get a silly amount of threads.
The words are just too common I guess...
so quick questions as the title says: I m planning to hard reset my phone in a bit and I would like to have my sms saved somehow so that they re-appear after the hard reset - ideas?

you can use microsoft my phone. www.myphone.microsoft.com
it's hella sweet

Hi.
Or you can use : http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Windows-Mobile-SMS-Sync-69006.shtml
Bye.

The problem with MyPhone is that when it restores the text messages to the phone after a hard reset, it does so in an non-sequential way. It does not retain the order in which they appear before the hard reset. As a result of this, one has to hunt for messages in the conversation thread.

I'd suggest you try this (see attached)

Just use PIM Backup http://www.dotfred.net/
Backup your contacts, sms, call history and more. Perfect program!
