Are you on tmobile? If so you have to logon to my-tmobile and change the notification settings to not send you an sms.

 how to stop email coming up as SMS Text Message
Maybe: within "pocket msn" options, page sms: uncheck sms-delivery.

it was tmobile alert... i unchecked it...
thats also why it was trying to download 120 messages that were not in my inbox .... damn thing
but... now problem solved

I have this same problem with Cingular blue. My mmode emails are coming in as sms's and i cant reply becasue of it. any ideas?

Where are my text messages?

MDA Vario II - T-Mobile.
On my 'Today' screen, it informs me that I have 4 text messages. When I click on the 'link' there is nothing in my text messages 'inbox'.
I've even sent on from another phone, and I can't see it anywhere!
Has anyonr got any advice?
Thanks
Ratzz :twisted:

are you sure you're definately in the text messages inbox?
if you click on 'inbox' (top left) it'll show you a list of directories;
imap4
mms
outlook email
text messages
then click on text messages to go to the inbox folder.
appologies if you know this already! :lol:

Yep - that's exactly where I'm looking - and I have checked all the other folders (services) too.
There is absolutely nothing there - although I can, and do have emails.

weird! do your text messages flash up on the today screen (preview) when you receive them?

Have you restored your settings from an old backup? This can cause problems in PIM sometimes...

[bigshape]
I don't have a preview on the today screen, just a notification:
"Text Messages: 4 Unread"
Clicking on this brings me to the 'Text Messages Inbox" but there is nothing there!
[pof]
No, I haven't done a restore - I've had my phone one week.

Also(!)
When I send a text message from the phone (after clicking on send) it remains in the "Outbox" and does not get sent.

Anyone got any ideas?

soft reset your tytn or keep opening text inbox, it will evently shows up

thanks netboy, i had a message waiting to be delivered, and the soft reset sent it - however, the today screen stll says i have 5 messages and there is nothing in my inbox.

Have you received any text messages since you noticed the problem? if no, have you tried asking a friend to send you a text to see if that makes them all come through at the same time? worth a try, it might fix it

Hi Nicky - I've just sent a text from my old phone, and I am receiving them, but still cannot find the other 5!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

I also had this problem, i used this software to reset the unread count: http://home.comcast.net/~relmerator/

1 Unread message

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.

Try going into all messages at the bottom left when on the message tab sometimes the phone has messages in the inbox that dont respond, check the inbox folder and delete the sms see if that works

Tried that already... I now have no messages at all and it still shows 1 sms to be read! Grrr

I had that problem until i noticed that there WAS an unread email, it wasn't in my newly created email inbox, it was in the Outlook Email inbox.
This email seems to be created automatically when you run the HD for the first time.
Have a look at the mail inbox again and switch it so you can see all the email accounts (use the the drop down list in the top left corner), check the Outlook Email Inbox too.
Goodluck.

Email icon with unread email

I would like to have an email icon showing unread email (pop3) in my arc with the native Sony apps. It's possible?

gm,
you mean in the left upper corner of the screen?? in the account settings you can set a ringtone for a new mail, and also visual mail notification. i get an '@' in the statusbar upper left when i got new mail.

I think I know what you mean. I used to have an HTC Touch HD and the icons for SMS and Email would show how many unread texts/emails you had. All you get in android is an icon in the notification area. It's taken me a while to get used to which icon is which as I have hotmail, gmail and sms.
Is there any way (or an app) to have the shortcuts show you how many unread items there are instead??

Just found a couple of apps called Gmail unread count and SMS unread count. These are widgets which kinda works. Can't figure out how you go and change the options once you've added them though. Maybe I have to remove the widget and add it again.
