So my phone is on the desk, it beeps to tell me that I received a text message. I'm busy so I come back to it 5 minutes later.
I hit my power button, then slide to unlock (S2U2).
On my TF3D scroll bar, theres a little green "1" on top of the messages icon to tell me I have 1 new message.
I press the messages button but ......The new text is not displayed. I have to scroll through the texts to get to it.
WTF??????????
Surely there is a fix for this absolutely stupid design flaw. Please can anyone help me. Starting to get annoyed with this thing.
Ive just been testing this again be sending myself texts from the web and it seems to be working fine now. I did a complete re-install of my phone last night so maybe that explains it. Be interested to hear from anyone who had similar problems all the same.

Anyone able to help me out on this one?
I got a voice mail message the other day. Listened to it the next day and then deleted it.
The voicemail indicator (you know the one that looks like a tape symbol) is still in the bar at the top and i still have 'notification' on the bottom left soft key.
I do not have any voicemail messages and i have rebooted (soft) the phone. Cant get rid of the damn thing - getting anoying now...
Any help appreciated.
Simply call your voicemail, listen to a message, delete a message. pause (play around in voicemail for a few moments) then hang up. If you have no voicemail messages to delete, call yourself and leave yourself a message. I have/do get that problem from time to time. It appears voicemail only communicates with the phone as a one shot basis only - T-Mobile really needs to address that issue.
Hope that helps,
Best regards,
Brad
Yeah - thanks for that. Sorted out my problem. Took a couple of attempts, but its gone now
Please pardon this posting (if this is an already known issue - it's 3.00AM and I've been combing the Herald threads for known issues but didn't see this on there)...
I got a new Wing today and after placing the SIM card in it, the phone works like one would expect until you try to send a text message. That never gets sent . What's more aggravating is the behavior on incoming text messages. The keys light up when I get a new text message and the counter on the home screen adds to the number of unread messages however, when I click on the link to attempt to view the messages, the inbox is blank. 0 messages in it. I have checked all the folders to no avail. Even a hard reset on the device doesn't seem to fix the issue. Am I missing something here? If so what??
FYI I called T-Mo support and their Tier 3 guy was stumped.
Here's the wierd thing while I was going through testing to validate that this was an actual issue, I did get the "incoming text message" bubble notification and from there, I clicked on Menu (from the home page) and was able to view the text messages - so they're somewhere in my phone, just not in the inbox - anyone have any idea where I can look?
*bump*
I'm having this problem now. Ever find the fix?
Hello All,
I have a Rogers HTC Touch running WM6.0 (the default software). Text messaging typically works but on occasion when i receive a text message my phone screen will light up, but no sound and no vibration will be produced. And the icon on my Home screen that indicates text messages will still say "0". But when i press the icon and the messaging tab loads up i see that i have a text message.
This is really annoying since I constantly miss text msgs. When the phone is in my pocket I have no way of knowing i have been texted. To make matters worse when i pull the phone out of my pocket the icon on the home screen telling me how many text messages i have will still display "0" until i press on it.
Again this only happens sometimes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Just an update?
Any thoughts? It's a really weird bug. This is my second Touch from Rogers and it suffers from the same issue as before.
Anything in the registry than can be changed?
Thanks.
I had the same problem.... i hard reset, it was the only way.
Rogers as well...
Check this Thread.
Check your sms reminder settings.....this could be of help to you.
Are you using Opera? Their older builds seem to cause this issue.
Regadrs,
Carty..
hey all i have jsut encountered a weird text message problem. when i was texting this morning, i noticed that all the messages i sent was not showing in the thread. also, when i recieved a message, it doesnt show up either. however, when i get the notification, i can see the text that was sent to me, but not in the thread. can anyone help me with this? thanks all.
i seem to have the opposite problem...sometimes i dont get a message notification...e.g. the message tone doesn't sound and the new message isn't highlighted on the home screen.
I only know i have a message if i happen to see the screen wake-up or manually go to my inbox where then the tone will sound and the new message will be displayed. However this doesnt always happen but id say 25% of the time if not a bit more. Very annoying and inconvinient
Me too have the same problem with bknewtype.
This is annoying because if i dont wake up the phone, i wont know that a message have arrived.
It makes me miss an important appointment 1 time.
Can anyone tell me anything about this problem?
I am having the same problem as you all cos I will not know that I have received a SMS only when I go into the Inbox then incoming SMS start coming in.
Anyone know what is the problem and any solution?
I HAVE same issue do u all have slide to unlock? i do.
what abt a diff on screen keyboard? there has to be a common issue we all have .. what about firmware??
Hi Folks,
This is a small, seemingly insignificant problem but it's bloody annoying so I'm hoping you can help me solve it:
When I receive a new message (SMS, MMS, Email) the little message shortcut on the desktop get's the little green '1' overlaid to show there's a message. Once I read the message and reply it doesn't disappear. I can open the message in Chomp or the system default app and it doesn't seem to register with the shortcut - it still shows the overlaid green number.
I know this is something of a trifling problem but I have my phone on silent a lot so it does cause some confusion.
Thanks in advance.
i've noticed mine staying on for a while but then disappearing... maybe it sits there for another 10/15 minutes?
Could be. I have to admit that afer about 10 minutes I've been losing patience and deleting the message, which makes it go away.
do u read ur messages through the widget page? cause i noticed that if u do, then the little green ball remains but somehow if u click on the message icon with the green ball to access ur acc and read from there, then it goes away.
I think that may be a factor, yeah. When I read them through the 'drag down' menu, either with chomp or system default it stays, I'll open the next one through the icon and see if that changes things.
I find that the trackball keeps flashing too unless you actually tap on the Messages shortcut icon to read the new messages that come through (as oppose to viewing from the notifications menu or through the text messages widget). I hope HTC fix this issue 'cos not everyone wants to go through the messages app via the Messages shortcut icon.
Yeah, I only used the messaging icon yesterday and it was fine. The problem seems limited to when you use the 'drag-down- menu.
