Unread SMS not even there! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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...

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?

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.

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.

Text Messages Being Stored

I hear that the text messages don't get stored on the phone IF the phone is reset using soft reset (or when crashes and restarted using soft reset).
Is there any workaround?
Can text messages be saved to memory card whenever they are recieved (like the option on a Symbian Smartphone to save the texts to Storage Card)?
Is this a HTC TyTN Firmware issue? OR a Global Windows Mobile Problem?
Cheers
G.
it depends how you reset - if you softreset using your stylus they indeed do not get stored. If you softreset using the off/on button (basically turning the phone off and then back on) they do get stored!
Thanks for the prompt reply
Is this just the way that the Windows Mobile OS Works ??
Or is it just a HTC TyTN issue ?
it was the same with the wizard so I assume it's the way WM works!
Interesting, on a side note.... does this happen in Windows Mobile OS Smartphone aswell ??
Does this refer to read or unread messages ?
On my v1605, I removed the battery this morning to try and loosen the screen to fix the alignment issues, and when I plugged the battery back in and switched the phone on, all my read text messages where still there.
I guess, by chance, your messages were stored to the memory correctly.
If you close the messaging application when your done, like with the task manager or something, does this store the messages correctly Regardless of crashing/soft reset.
I think the problem occurs only with unread messages. Once they are read they remain in the application regardless of resets (with the exception of a hard reset ).
I think even if you open the messages application without reading the message it might be saved im not sure though.
Seems odd, I hope there is more speculation about this, so we all have a good understanding how this works.

Hide Outlook in messaging

Basically as the title says.
There is an Outlook profile in my message, but I don't see anyway to remove it.
I don't use Outlook, I don't want it in there.
Anyone know of a way to hide/remove the outlook profile?
Removing Oyutlook..
Close messaging first .. properly..not just minimised.
In the registry.. navigate to :-
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\SVC
There is a key (folder) called "ActiveSync".. rename it to "zActiveSync"..
Now run messaging.. hey presto - it has gone....
Charlie Grillo
Perfect! I figured there was a registry edit to make, but didn't know what it would be.
Thanks a lot!
Woh! Not so perfect!
After I did this my phone completely stopped alerting me to text messages.
I had to change the key back to get it to alert me again.
Guess I'll just have to live with the outlook profile in messaging.

Perfect man!!! I didn't expect there was such an easy answer for GldRush98's question... It works exactly as I wanted to...
But the people here have a knack for surprising noobies like me... LOL!!!
THANKS A LOT!!!
Very strange...
Bro, I got a question though...
I `ve noticed that my device doesn`t play the notify tones after this tweak...
It took me many hard resets and restorings too find out this was the problem... But I still want to remove the outlook without stoping the notify sounds for the receiving of sms and e-mails... Any idea how to solve this???
Get DotFred's PIM Backup tool, backup everything but your email account. Do a hard reset, restore your PIM info, and reinstall the programs you use.

You did not do "hard" resets, or all of your customization and accounts would have been cleared. Hard Reset Sequence for a Wizard is described halfway down this page. If this is for your Touch, you're on the wrong boards.

My bad! I thought it would work for Elfin too... And it partially did...
What I meant by "hard resets" was that I had decided to format my device and restore all the configuration settings one by one to identify the problem. And I did... I was in the wrong thread... LOL!!!
Tks!

Lost SMS messages after soft reset

Right,
Tytn on Orange (UK)
using Oranges latest rom release.
The issue is when i perform a Soft reset the device loses recent SMS messages.
sometimes its just the last recieved message, sometimes its all the messages recieved in the last hour or so.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Maybe you left "message" app. open when you reset the device? If you use some software to reset the phone, the software maybe automaticly close the opened applications before the reset for you. But the pin hole doesn't.So use some software instead of the pin hole,or close the opened app. before you reset the device.Just give the chance of saving data to the applications.
Yes, I remember this isssue a while and back and used to have exactly the same problem. I don't have it anymore since using the WM 6.1 ROM's with the threaded SMS or if I use the Palm threaded SMS app.
Thanks, I'll give those things a try, and i'll see if Orange have got round to releasing WM6 for the hermes, I'd quite like WM6, but also quite like the simplicity of orange's "it just works" releases.

TF3D Voicemail Message

Hello!
I've purchased a Touch HD a couple of weeks ago.
But I have a problem with the notification on TF3D homescreen saying there's one new voicemail message.
When I call voicemail, listen to the message, delete it, the notification does not go away.
I've searched the forums, and the solution to call myself and leave a message and then delete it does not fix the problem.
Also a soft reset does not make it dissappear.
Is there a register hack to remove the message?
Or something else I can do to make it go away?
H.
this is a bug - mine is doing the same thing.
And there's nothing we can do to solve it?
H.
Not sure if this will help but I had the same problem with an old wm device. The trick was to listen to the message, delete it/save it then wait a couple of seconds before hanging up.
similar problems with my old hermes and the problem was to do with sms_providers.dll file.
I had to replace this file.
Do a search in hermes directory
I think this may be due to the phone not being correctly setup for the network. I've had this on other WM handsets after flashing the ROM - and sorted the problem by installing the correct settings for the network, otherwise I'd get these kind of problems and sometimes strange SMSs with control characters in them.
Try going to "Connection Setup" in Settings -> Connections and resetting to the correct network & country.
Hope that helps.

lol - of course its set up for the correct network. I made sure it was one of the first things I did!
Well, tried the solution with the sms_providers.dll change, but no luck.
Actually I don't think that was going to work anyway because I don't get weird text messages saying new voicemail.
That works just fine. The only problem I have is that it displays the 1 one voicemail message in between the call info and the calendar on my home screen. And what I try, it just won't go away.
I've also tried to reset the connection setting, but that didn't help also.
I'm going nuts about this!
Is no one else having this issue?
For your info, it's a dutch official rom version.
H.
Also when I leave myself 2 voicemails it still displays 1 new voicemail message.
It appears to be stuck.
Is there a registry setting for tf3d to remove this or something??
H.
Ok,
I've done a hard reset and the notification is gone now.
Hopefully it's not coming back anymore!
Thankz for all your help!

Okay, I just sent myself a voicemail and when I retreived it I deleted it and waited until the voice said deleted and then I pushed * to exit and now the notification is gone from my screen. I don't know if I had to do all of that but it worked anyways.
Registry Fix to Clear Voicemail Indicator
Using any registry editor go to the following keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/State/Messages/vmail/Line1/Unread
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/State/Messages/vmail/Line2/Unread
Display values and change Count value back to zero.
Worked like a charm!

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!
