Hi, I am having this problem with one unread SMS when in fact there are no messages in my in box. It's kinda annoying because even after I deleted all my messages, all 95 of them, it still keeps me showing I still have one unread SMS. Any suggestions please. Don't want to reset my device just because of one unread message which I can't see.
Try looking in the '1 Unread SMS' thread about 6 threads down
Thanks a lot for yer help helterskelter. And sorry for duplicating a thread. A lil' heads up the utility will set the count straight only with the messaging application closed. I ran it the first time with the messages open and the phantom message(now I know what it's called) was still showing.

I recently upgraded to WM6. I had backed up all my sms messages in Outlook on my PC which I copied back to my device. Since the device recognizes all the messages as new, it marks them as unread. The hassle is when you have to mark them as read. And you can't select all and mark them as read because if you try that mistake, your XDA is going to go to sleep and there is no telling when will it wake up. So once in a while, when I upgrade and I have to copy all SMS messages back to the device, I mark them read doing 30-40 messages at a time.
Sometimes, I have noticed that when you are done marking them as read, there is a bug in the software and screen status at the bottom as well as the folders list shows 1 message as unread. It also appears on the Today screen: "Text Message: 1 unread message"
Now, my question is, how can I mark all messages as read. One way is to hard reset the device and re do the whole process. I am sure that will work, but its a tedious. Is there any shortcut to it?
Oh and I moved all messages in the Inbox to the Deleted Items folder, now the Inbox is completely empty but it still shows 1 unread message. There should be a way to reset the count? Is there?
I have tried running the fixunreadmessages.exe utility on it. It reset the count of the Inbox to 0 but the Today screen and the folder list still show 1 unread message.
I had the same problem. I posted my solution (which i cant remember) on a thread on the forum just incase anyone else had the problem. Will try and find it.
Hi everyone!
Could someone give me a solution to this problem?
My sms box tell me that I've an unread sms in the inbox but I cannot see it; I've tried to select every sms, mark as unread and then mark as unread.
The counter show me one more sms than in the reality. I would like to keep all my sms, if possible.
I think it appears by clearing a new sms a little bit to fast....
Thank for your help!!
sometimes I wonder if the search option bites...

Thank you for the quick reply!! It does the job.
By the way, I know the search option don't bite cause I used it but I think I didn't put the correct words...
Thanks again!!
Hi, I've been unable to turn up any help on this matter with searches but I wonder if anyone knows a solution.
I received a text this morning and I saw it appear in the notification bar, I also saw who it was from but didn't get to read it before the notification disappeared. I went to my messages and the text is nowhere to be seen in either Handcent or Messaging.
Now when I receive ONE new message my notifications say I have TWO unread and the Handcent widget also shows a 2 but still the mystery message cannot be seen.
I've of course rebooted and also tried this app which simply didn't work but if someone has made an app surely this must be a known bug?!
I could delete the message thread I know but I'd like to read the message first and also simply get to the bottom of this strange error, any ideas?
Mik
Anyone have any ideas on this?
So far the only way I've found to get rid of the invisible unread SMS is to delete every SMS thread. However, if I then restore them from MyBackup for example it comes back.
I'd really like to know how to properly fix this.
Hey guys,
I have the problem with the wrong count of unread SMS.
When I receive a new SMS, it doesn't get marked as read.
I can do anything, but new SMS stay unread.
But deleting these SMS doesn't reduce the unread count.
Even using the "Fixunreadcount.exe" didn't change a thing.
This bug is driving me mad and I can't find a good solution.
Please help me!

I had a problem with my TouchFlo SMS icon showing a green '1' saying I had a message when I couldn't find it.
I went through all my messages and conversations and had no luck. A few months later, irrelevent to fixing it, I got some software which made it so when your phone screen goes black it will auto lock it with the slider to unlock (like the iPhone has). It's called S2U2. On the unlock slider screen you are able to preview SMS and email messages without unlocking them, which is quite nice. With the unread count still showing 1 problem, I had the SMS icon there despite me knowing I didn't really have any more messages. To my suprise it actually previewed a message I had received about 6 months ago. I went to that message and read it again, the unread count problem was fixed permently.
I did use the fixunread count tool but as soon as I got a new message it would show 2, then one after I read the new one.
I hope you understand this, good luck!
Yeah I understand your problem.
But the weird thing with my phone is, that the messages don't get marked as read.
I see them in the "All Messages" screen with a green "1" bubble, but when I read them, the count doesn't disappear.
EDIT: Never mind, i've seen you've already tried FixUnreadCount... that worked for me though, although there was only 1 unread message that I couldn't see.
It's screwed Did 2 hard resets, flash with previous task 29 formatting but the problem still occurs.
I think it comes from some 3rd party software. Just have to figure out what it is.
Hi there. I have same problem as here Get rid of SMS notification on top status bar on my Mini.
In HTC Sense homesreec, above SMS tab, is still unread SMS count. Im reading SMS messages in that tab, but I have to open it in messaging app to clear notification. Sometimes I have to open all of them since I dont know which one is unread. Can I disable that notification somehow or set it to mark as read when I read it in Sense Home Screen?
There is a timeout on the SMS tab.
If you have received an SMS and switch to the SMS tab, the counter is only changed when the SMS is shown long enough. If you read quickly and swipe to the next SMS, the timeout is not reached, and the counter not changed.
To quickly show which SMS are not read yet, go to "All messages". You will see an overview of your contacts and the unread messages from these contacts.
Thank you very much, really. You're right, I never reached that timeout before, I'm reading too fast. I'll wait for it now, it's working
