hi all,
i have a very strange sms bug.
every time i get a new sms text message i get 2 messages in my inbox.
1. i get the actual message that was just send to me.
2. i get another message that is stored on my sim ( if i look in my inbox, there is a SIM icon in front of the message).
This 2nd message also shows up at first in TF3D and is on top of my list in my inbox. very annoying !!
the strange thing is that the 2nd sms is a message that i once sended to a friend of mine, somehow that message is stored somewhere on my SIM and comes in my inbox everytime a get a new message.
i tried a few things, but they didn't help:
- delete it from my inbox and then from removed items; keeps coming back.
- choose "Inmediatly" by "clear removed items" in the message options menu; still the message is coming back.
the message must be stored on the sim, because that message was send from my old phone. and the only thing my old phone and my blackstone have in common is the same simcard.
so i need to know how i can delete this SMS text message from my sim card, at least i think that will solve the problem..
hope someone can tell me how, because its very annoying to delete this message over and over again because it always shows first.
I'm going to bump this thread up because I have the same issue/question.
little kick up..
Same issue here, bumping..
had the same thing when i got my HD a few months ago, after deleting such messages a hundred times they suddenly where gone... :-\
maybe you have another phone around to check if you can delete old messages stored on your sim?
greetz
Same problem here...
same here... any sim guru around?....
i got the same problem since i have my htc, the only thing that realy worked for me is this
efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html (Efficasoft Mobile Express)
its a software, that can save your sms on your pc, and directly delete it from your sim
.. but sometimes my htc gets stuck, and i have to reset it, but yeah its an easy way to save & delete all sms
you could also try ms myphone in combination with pimbackup. afaik myphone only syncs sms on the phone itself, but with pimbackup you can use the delete all feature, maybe that would wipe the sim as well, then you'd sync with myphone again, and since wiping pim information with pimbackup appears as an unplanned deleting, you will get your regular sms back thru syncing with myphone.
another idea would be: try another phone, a cheap or old one, that only uses sim sms and delete all sms there. if that doesn't help, there is something wrong with your network or sim card
I had the same problem as anyone of you. But after deleting it from my inbox at least 4-5 times, it suddenly disappears.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before; I couldn't find the answer...
I had some text messages on my SIM in the 'drafts' folder and they showed up on the TF3D messages screen. I deleted them from within the TF3D interface, but when I restart my HD the drafts reapear. I can't find them from in the WinMo messages part and when I punt my SIM in an other device, the drafts are gone too.
This means (I guess) that they are cached somewhere by TF3D, but I can't seem to find something to help me.
Greets!
LOL finally somebody who has the same problem as me. I took a sim card from my Blackberry to my Touch Diamond, which had that problem, then my HD, which has the same problem with the same 3 messages.
It's messages with only numbers in them...
They return on soft reset because winmo won't really delete them, only their representation on the phone memory for some stupid reason.
They are stored in your SIM card. Delete all messages from your SIM card using the old phone you used, then re insert in your HD.
That should do the trick.
I already tried that and the (old) phone couldn't find my messages. Since it worked for you, I retried with another old phone and that one did show the messages and I was able to delete them. Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so move the topic if necessary.
A few weeks back I bought an X1(Branded Dutch T-Mobile Version) and I've been having problems with the receiving of SMS'. My Today screen indicates there are new messages, eg. SMS \ MMS: 1 unread. But when I check my messages there's nothing there. I tried to see if it may be a false positive, by having a friend send me a text message, but the number did increase, and the message box was still empty. I tried reseting the rom, which obviously killed the messages, but new messages are still not getting through.
Anybody else experiencing the same problem? Anybody know what is going on? How can I recover the (invisible) messags?
Thanks a bunch
that's weird. uh, really weird. it's either YOU have a bad rom/phone software so better have it checked OR your not looking in your SMS/MMS inbox but your outlook inbox instead.

i had the same prob, someone sent me a text and the phone froze, when i turned it on had that message. the only way i found to get rid of it was to delete the message coversation with the person.
i had the same problem, only a hard reset solves the problem. after the hardreset everythink worked fine. some other people at the german xperia board got the same problem.
I tried to hard-reset to no avail. Deleting previous conversations doesn't help. Even SMS' from unknown contacts stay hidden. When I try to export my messages using PIM Backup 2.8 It shows that I have 2 'Text Messages' folders in the export root. One with the hidden(unread) messages. And one with the visible ones. When I exported the messages and reimported them, they stayed hidden. When I wrote a program to parse the PIM Backup exported file. I could see that the hidden messages get properly exported.
Any ideas?
Hearing that the German based roms have troubles too, could it be a reg setting that is wrong, something with localization? I really hate that I have a Dutch rom.
i had this problem i simply hard reset it and it was gone...if this didnt work then try reflashing the orignal rom
I just ran into the same issue.
Funny is that I did hard reset on not flashed orginall Dutch T-mobile X1 which was working good. Well now it is not :/
Tip for others looking for a quick workaround: use uiggmo light panell to read them. The only way I found so far.
I am flashing mine today. (Before I will hand it over due to case issue).
I have a new Touch HD. I have started to regularly get a message on soft reset saying that the sim card is full, and I won't be able to receive any text messages unless I delete some. The Sim card is patently not full as I can still receive text messages, and there are only a handful of text messages actually on the sim.
I tried looking for some setting to send the SMS to phone instead of SIM but couldn't find anything.
A search on the internet seems to indicate that this is not restricted to the touch HD, but also affects other WM 6.1 devices.
Can anyone help me get rid of this message?
Please help. This continues to pop up everytime I soft reset my phone.

I had exactly the same problem on my HD using a Silvercard with two phone numbers inside.
I solved it with a simcard reader and a simcard editor software.
I found 25 blank SMS in the draft folder (very strange).
After deleting all the blank messages the problem disappeared.

I thought that the outlook connector on the WM devices could access the messages on the SIM and remove them but I'm apparently wrong. I've got the same message popping up and the same 10 messages keep reappearing in my phones inbox every time I reboot.
Unfortunately I don't have SIM editor device / software... My only thought so-far is to put the SIM in an old nokia and delete the messages with that... now can I find an old nokia and persuade it to take a charge, that it the question...
Every single time i reboot the phone, i get the "129" text msg with blank content. It has the little memory card symbol. I think i click save to memory card by accident one time. I tried clicking move to phone and delete it right after. It didn't work. anyone has a solulation?
Yea its a stock message preloaded on the memory card. Easiest way is to push and hold select "move to phone" then repeat and just delete it. Next time your phone boots it should be gone -Cheers
What I've seen has to do with that "129" message being saved on the SD card. Once I found it and deleted it, I stopped getting it on every reboot.

i'm still getting it!!!!
Took my sim card out and reboot. Still got the text msg.
Try popping your SIM into another phone that can read the text messages on the card, and delete it from there. Other members with the HD2 have reported having to do that to get it to stay deleted (the HD2 seems to have an issue with that).
The one time I called TMO support about 129 was a couple of years ago, on a $35 nokia pre paid phone. At the time they explained that it happens when a text message either doesn't immediately go/come through.
I get it occasionally on the HD2. I just delete it.
I delete the text msg and shut off the phone. Before turning it on, i remove the memory card but i still get the same text msg.
I just had this pop up when I upgraded to the T-Mobile 2.13 ROM. The way I permanently got rid of it was to delete it normally (from the Inbox) AND go to All Messages, select Deleted Messages, and delete it from the Deleted Messages.
It seems because it is a "system" message it gets stored to the SIM, and if you just delete it from the SMS inbox it comes back since it is still in the Deleted Messages folder, and the SIM must restore it after a reboot.
Deleting from both places made sure it was gone for good.

Yup it worked. thanks.
Now, do you know why swipe appears at the boot up screen? I have a password lock. Everytime it gets to inputing the password, the swipe thing on the bottom middle appears. any solution there?
I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.
