My Messaging is Screwed Up

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.

Phantom unread sms

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.

TP2/ TF3D sms problem

Hi, I remember a while ago someone posted a fix for the problem whereby multiple sms messages are not sent in TF3D when no response has been received from the recipient (by which i mean, I cant send two messages to the same recipient through the conversation view, without first getting a reply to my previous sms). I just get the error telling me that my message cannot be sent.
I have had a quick search, but i'm struggling to find the solution here. Can anyone remind me how to get around this please?
thanks

During replying back on a sms i recieve multiple sms from the same person which is fine. My sms setting is set to thread and not classic. My problem is this; everytime i open a sms or reply the sms theres many other messages that arent mark as read in the same thread. it gets annoying after a while cause i have to click on each one then click on the text box below and reclick on the sms continously to mark them as read. if this is not done the green led notification will not clear until i read everything. led is not the problem that im having it works great and i like to be notified. the problem are these annoying unread sms that show while sms thread is open. am i making any sence?

answer here...I havent been texting so I havent had time to test it out. Back ur cell up using sprite backup etc before applying changes. Only downside after making the change I notced is with sprite backups. In order to create succesful backups u have to exclude "htmlnote.dll" & "HTMLNOTE.DLL" from the backup.

SMS Send problem after SMS-patch

Hi
Im still having the sms stuck in outbox problems some times, even if I have applied the sms patch from HTC. But it only happens some times and when it does I have to reset and send a new sms in order to kick the sendtask back into motion.
Anyone else still having this problem?

Seems to come up again and again. Delete all the SMSs in your inbox and then clear the 'deleted' items from memory. That should sort it. (Of course, you can retain a small number that you need to keep.)

SMS unread count

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!
PS: Using Dutty's HD Holy Grail R2 ROM

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.
