hey guys,
my brand new TYTN (Vodafone 1605) it says that I have 1 unread sms although I don't have any sms's in my inbox.
any ideas?
thanks.
have u checked all your inboxes? i.e. MMS, SMS, emial etc ?
it is called phantom sms...try this link
Moderation: Link removed - no longer valid/exists
The link's Dead, use this instead. FixUnreadCount.zip. This will remove all messages from the Today screen. Works like a giff for me.

The file downloads as a zip file.
Extract it using winzip.
It will unzip to an EXE file. This is an exception to the usual rule that you run EXEs on the PC, in this case move it to your device SD Card using active Sync explorer button or by using a PC card reader. Once on the device tap it to run it.

Unread SMS
Thanks for your help - it worked !!

I get 1 undread sms message after i installed the palm message app.. Tried this and it didnt clear it.. Any ideas how to get rid of that?
yea i get that palm 1 txt too.. i have to delete all my palm msgs then make sure the app is closed out then start it and that fixes the issue
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
Whew...
Thanks for this post. This has to be one of the most annoying glitches I've encountered with my phone. For the first couple of days, I'm like; ok, no big deal. I'll figure it out, or I'll just get by with the dumb little message showing a text. But after 2 days, I had to figure it out somehow. ATT tech support is useless. I'm not going to factory restore!!! That's simply not an option.....
Long live this board and it's contributors. This find was GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
1 unread sms on Rhodium (TP2)
Hello,
I've got a stuck SMS message since the end of November, I find this very annoying and I've tried everything! I even dumped out all the messages once, after I've clicked 'm all..
Anyway.
I'm an owner of a Rhodium with WM6.5 (1.88.404.3) version, I've installed it around 20th Nov. jl
I hope someone does have a solution for me,

"I've tried everything" doesn't help us much.
Did you run http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=219102&d=1250917002
If not then try it.
If you have, run it again, possibly twice. Following each attempt do a soft reset BUT NOT by sticking the stylus in the hole. Soft re-set by LONG pressing the power button until you get the warning message.
(Just ramming the stylus in the hole can actually delete the changes that runnng the program has just made - so don't do it. The program makes some changes to the "registry". Unfortunately registry changes are not "written back" immediately - thus doing a stylus in the hole reset may be too quick and the changes lost forever. Doing a "long press" ensures all pending write backs are done before the reset is executed - which is what you want.)

Thanks a lot for this contribution.
FYI: I ran it twice, but it didn't fix it. Then I restarted. Then ran it again. Then it fixed it.
I've got an appointment set up in Outlook on the PC for 7pm-11:30pm this evening.
When I synchronised, the home screen on the HD says "Tomorrow 19:00 - 23:30" instead of "Today"
If I tap the appointment on the home screen to enter the calendar program, it correctly shows under today's date, with nothing tomorrow.
Possible bug in TouchFlo ?
Anyone else seen this ?
Or am I being really dumb and missing something obvious ?
EDIT : After a soft reset, the word "tomorrow" vanishes. So it looks like TouchFlo failed to update the home screen properly until the device was reset.
my bug is different
I have a different bug, no mine doesnt seem to do what you say... as far as I can see...
My bug is that when you set in options to always display day, week or month view and you quit calendar and start it again, bang it goes back to Agenda view (which is rubbish)... is there a fix to get it to stay in what its asked to stay in.

I'm seeing the same thing. When selecting the calendar or appointment from touchflo it always takes you to the agenda view as opposed to the default view you select in the calendar.

I was having the same issue.
I needed to reset my device (Pressing power button until it gives the pop up to turn off) and once it came back now it is working fine..
I can set it which way I want now and the setting is sticking...
...and more:
I got all of them... calender always opening in agenda view, a TOMORROW instead of a TODAY until reset, AND another one: IF you activate lets say THREE alarms, only the first one shows up on the today screen, no matter what time it is... So if it the first alarm is over, my Touch ELF's display would change to show to the next open one, but the HD does NOT. Ridiculous...
I see 4 every day all the call.!?Sync by activesync.How to delette this sync?
I too am bothered with this problem.
I want my calendar view set to Month view. So I've choosen Month view form the options and everything seems OK. However, everytime I choose calendar from the home screen it briefly starts in Month view, and then opens the agenda view.
I've tried everything I could find on the net to solve this problem, including:
- Adjusting the calendar to month view and afterwards soft-resetting my HD. Still the same problem.
- Adding -vm to the shortcut in the calendar shortcuts in the Windows directory and in the Windows/Startup directory. this opens the calendar in month view, but from the Home screen still no success.
- Searching the registry for relevant settings, but i'm not knowledgeable enough yet to find the correct ones.
By the way, if I set my calendar view to Day or Week, the same type of problem occurs.
Since I really don't like the Agenda view this really starts to annoy me.
Any other thoughts out there on something I could try?
Regards, Jack
i have the same problem! does anyone know abetter more fingerfriendly calendar program with tf3d integration?
Deixi
Strange stuff...
I don't have the problem everybody describes, but instead next day appointments show with a DS_TOMORROW: prefix instead of Tomorrow: The font is big and it occupies quite a lot of space, looks buggy and pretty annoying.
With regard to a finger friendly calendar - I used Agenda One, but it doesn't work from TF3D Home screen by default - the link needs to be edited, and I can't find the thread where the way to do it was described.
With regard to opening the calendar in the "right" view, it should be relatively easy to fix.
Searching the registry won't help because the links in RF3D seem to be hardcoded - this is the bad news.
The good news is that there's a Manila Patcher which allows to change things. If you know the arguments (somebody mentioned -vm), you can change those.
With regard to today's events prefixed with "Tomorrow", it seems that this is indeed a Manila bug, it just doesn't refresh data. You don't have to reset the device, disabling and enabling Manila is enough. This is not a workaround of course, because resetting is actualy easier, just to reiterate that TF3D is at fault.
Not 100% sure, but if I'm using the device around midnight then TF3D doesn't roll the appointments. If I'm not then it does.
Could be a complete red-herring though. . .
Does HTC have any bug tracking system available for the public, at least for submitting bugs?
Thanks for the tip on SSMaPa vangrieg!
Installed it, added "-vm" in the arguments box belonging to calendar.exe, and after some messages I am now enjoying my calendar in glorious Month view!
And before I forget, the other possible arguments are: -vd for Day view, -vw for Week view, -vy for Year view and of course -va for the dreaded Agenda view
By the way, this is what HTC Support mailed me after just one day's wait:
In order to solve your problem, you will need to hardreset your device. All data and settings will be deleted, so please back-up all your data first. Remove your SIM and memory card and go to Start, Settings, System, Clear Storage and follow the on-screen instructions.

I too have this problem, and the thing at fault here is apparently the Touch Flo 3D interface. Just as described in the original post, the calendar app itself displays everything correctly, but on the Today Screen in Touch Flo, "tomorrow" entries do not change over to "today entries" when the date changes, i.e. it fails to update.
A soft reset does indeed correct the problem, but it is also sorted out if you change the calendar content in some way. This morning, for instance, I made a simple edit (changed the location variable) in one of the entries, and PRESTO! - the entries on the Today screen were properly presented.
Now, I'm not a programmer, but it seems to me that the Today screen doesn't recognise a date change as something that should trigger an update. Shouldn't it be able to force this somehow?
Speaking about Calendars, does anyone know how to change the text color of the topic while on the TFLO3D home screen.
It is a grey color and it makes it impossible to read.
Hi there, I have the same bug with Touch Flo, but no need to reset the phone. Just go in Start / Settings / Today, untick Touch Flo, do OK, this closes the Touch Flo applications. Then rego there to tick Touch Flo, this runs Touch Flo with the right information.
HTC advised me to hard-reset the device. The problem continues.
Soft resetting touch-flo does seem to cure the problem of the immediate appointment, but it is not a permanent fix.

I have another bug in the calendar of the Touch HD.
When I create an all-day event with a reminder, it just doesn't remind me : no ring, no vibe, just the screen that is switched on, and the pop-up appear. But it works fine with a regular appointment. Do you have the same bug ?
I don't know about you guys but i wanted to test this out so i entered some false appointments for 3 days in a row and i'm on the 2nd day and it has worked wonderfully.
It doesn't say 'today' but the top rows are showing today and has 'tomorrow' for the the appointment tomorrow.
I waited till midnight and it did roll over.
Or is this problem only via syncing from Outlook or something?
I have entered a few bogus meetings for the next day on the phone itself to test out your theory and on midnight the Tomorrow tag simply stayed there.
So once again I have no idea what triggers the bug.
No matter what I setting I use under what type of calendar view to show me when the calendar is first opened, it always shows the agenda view.
The weird thing is that at first it does open to whatever the setting is (for example week or month), and then in a split second it switches to agenda view. I have to manually tap until the desire view appears.
The setting still remains on "week" but the program still shows the agenda.
I also have this issue.
My device is the HTC Touch HD (by O2 Germany).
But if you start the calendar from the start menu, it will display correctly the selected view.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Same issue here - most annoying!
guys
Are you taping on an event on the home screen (TFlo3d) ? (as in how are you starting it )

yes, there is an upcoming event. Nevertheless, it shouldn't open the agenda view by default.
Hmm, after starting this thread, now I am wondering if that is just the way it works. I hadn't realized that opening the calendar from the Start menu does open it in the correct/desired view.
Do you guys remember if from the home screen it always opened to the agenda? Or did it used to open to the desired view?
I'm doubtful now - can't remember if maybe it always worked this way.
Hi,
I think it's supposed to work this way. When you open it from the Today Screen it always uses this view, hence the name: Today Screen

Rolf
Well there is a solution for Pocket informant
check out wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Useful_Software
SSMaPa:
Now I am sure that the default Calandera has options as well but not sure what they are not werr to find them.
Calendar
Definitely:
When opening from Today, it always opens Agenda view.
When opening from Start -> Programs -> Calendar opens as ordered in Tools -> Options.
Doesn't like it, let's hope for a Registry hack.
Rgds,
This annoyed me too... It does indeed seem to be an issue with Touch Flo 3d, and the calendar link on the Today screen being set to always start the calendar in day view.
So, supposed this is a Touch Flo issue rather than a Windows Mobile issue, I made a little google search and came up with the following from htcwiki.com:
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Start+Calendar+in+Month+View
I haven't tried it myself yet (past my bedtime as it is ), but will probably do so tomorrow. It seems like a simple enough operation. The instructions are for setting the calendar to month view as default, but I guess changing the parameter from "vm" to "vw" would set it to week mode. That seems logical, right?
Use the search funtionality.
You need the file ssmapa.exe
With that you can modify the manile.exe entry which is overruling the wm setting.
search and you will find.
or when you need someone else to do it for you.... link

I tried the ssmapa. It did not link correctly so I did a full restore. However, in my home page, the calendar now only shows a link "Calendar" but does not show the calendar items. It used to show my two or three of my schedules in the original touch flow 3D. I even did a hard reset but it did not help. Can someone advise how i can get it back?
Thanks, appreciate any help.
Use MortScript for starting Pocket Informant in Calendar View:
runwait ("\Program files\WebIs\PocketInformant\PITab.exe", "5")
sleep (2000)
runwait ("\Program files\WebIs\PocketInformant\PITab.exe", "5")
(Perhaps you have to modify the path....)

Hi all,
I encounter a bug that is really annoying me : I don't receive any notification for an "all-day" appointment. No sound, no vibe. The phone is switching on at the remind time, but without any sound nor vibe.
I don't have this behaviour when the appointment is not an "all-day".
I verified my settings, I even hard-reset, and I always have the bug.
Do you experiment it ?
Do you know how to correct it ?
I'm on a french HTC Touch HD with the stock rom.
Thank you.
Update :
The bug is validated. I send a mail to HTC, but no answer for the moment.
We need help to try to find if there's a solution.
Update 2 :
The bug is present in others ROM than stocks : I tried Duttys v1.8 and even WM6.5 roms from PDAViet and Davideuck and the bug is present in these roms too.
Update 3 :
I added a poll concerning this problem. Please test this problem on your HD and answer the poll + post your HD setup (especially your ROM).
Thank you !
How to reproduce the bug :
- Go in Settings/Sounds/Notifications/Reminder and check that sound and vibration are checked
- Go in the calendar to "Tomorrow"
- Add an appointment
- In this new appointment, choose "All Day : Yes", "Reminder : Remind me", then when you want to be reminded (IE it's 10:30am, so if I want to be reminded at 11am, I choose "Reminder : Remind me, 13 hours")
- Wait for the reminder :
- if you have the sound + the vibration, you can check "No, it works like a charm" and please post your setup
- if you have sound but no vibration (or vibration but no sound), check "I have the same problem" and please describe your problem in a post
- if you have the exact same problem as me (no sound, no vibration), check "I have the same problem" and please post your setup
Thank you for your help !
nobody has this problem ?
please, can somebody tests on his HD to know if it has the problem too ?
someone please ?
Did you created this appointment yourself?
Did you try to open (edit) the appointment?
When you creat or edit an appointment you can select IF and WHEN you will be remembered.
But I didnt know if have the same problem...
- Yes
- Yes
- I select to be remembered, and I'm remembered, but only with a pop-up : no sound, no vibe.
I'm remembered correctly for the others appointments (pop-up + sound + vibe).
Can you test on your HD ?
No notification for an "all-day" appointment
Yes, I observe the same effect on my Touch HD from the first minute of usage. In SKTools I see under "Notification Queue" that these appointments are marked with the comment "Allday event does not exist". But I can confirm that the event DOES exist! I don't know why this occurs. On my old MDA Touch with WM6.0 the SAME appointments have been o.k.
Thank you very much for your test ! I feel less alone
Now, we have to find WHERE is the problem...
I checked in the registry comparing with a Diamond, and I didn't find anything...
Hope we'll find help.

Some HD have a specific NQ record for allday events. The new version of SKTools (4.4.6) properly handle such records.
I tried to clean the notification queue using some softs and tutorials (like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333521) and the bug is always there.
Somebody has an idea to resolve this annoying bug ?
I made many, many tests, hard-reset etc... and I just can't have the "all day" event reminder to work. Can you just tell me if you have this problem with your Touch HD with this phrase :
OK - Stock ROM - WWE
or
NOK - Stock ROM - FRE
Thank you very very much.
Install something like G-Alarm, reminders don't work as alarms
Go to Settings --> Sound --> Advanced --> select "Reminders" in the event drop down and confirm if you have the necessary options checked.
Also, in Windows "All Day" events start at 00:00:00 and end at 23:59:59. The default reminder is 18 or 12 hours (depending on your global e-mail settings), so you would get the reminder popup and sound at noon the previous day. Did the previous day also have an "All Day" event ? If so, then you may only get a vibrate if you have selected the "Automatic" option in Settings --> Sound.
These are just some of the things that came to mind, hope it helps !
Unfortunately, I really need the "all-day" event reminders to work, cause I use mainly the "all-day" events in my job
Do you experiment the same bug ?

Unfortunately, I already checked so many times the sound settings
I have many all-day events, and I never got any sound nor vibration.
To test, it added a "test" all day event for tomorrow, and set it to remind me at 22h20 (it's 22h25 here). I also added an appointment for tomorrow at 9h an set it to remind me at 22h22. So, the phone turned on, it showed the reminder pop-up for the all-day event, but didnt' rang nor vibrated. Two minutes later, the phone turned on again, the reminder pop-up for the "normal" appointment appeared, and I got the sound I set in the sounds settings AND the phone vibrated.
I just don't understand why it works for normal appointments and not for "all-day" events
This does not solve your problem, but just wanted to let you know - over the past few days, tested this issue many different ways and always had the same result - popup is the *ONLY* notification for all-day events. No reminder sound, no vibrate - nothing, nada, nyet.
I can understand your frustration lpaso
Could this be a WinMo issue ? I mentioned this issue to a colleague of mine and he remembered having similar problems with his old Moto Q (WinMo6.0). Unfortunately, he does not have that device anymore, so no way to test
i am not sure i fully understand your problem, but wouldn't a third party application like "notification repeat enable" help on this matter?
just a thought!
Thank you for your experiences
I can confirm that it's not a WinMo problem, cause I tested it with several others WinMo mobiles (Qtek 9100, HTC Touch, HTC Diamond, HTC TyTN II) and I worked great on all this devices.
Concerning a "notification repeat enable" software could do the trick, and I'd be happy to know what software you could advise me, but I'd rather have the normal function to work
the name of the software would be........."notification repeat enable"
i attached here the cab. since i have it on my pc for a very long time, i don't remember where i got it, but it's not made by me
basicly you will not find it on your ppc as an application, but would let you add some otions on notification settings menu
i hope it helps!
good luck!
thanks
But, if I understand, it adds on some notification settings the "repeat" option right ?
The problem we have, is that we do have a notification, but only with a pop-up ! We don't have sound, we don't have vibration. But we have the pop-up, and it is repeated if we check the "repeat" option in the settings.
Hello,
I have an HD2 with wm6.5 + manila 2.5.
I was looking for a fix during hours, but did not find anything...
When an appointment has just exprired, it still appears on the default lockscreen.
Example: it is now 7:16 and the appointment which was from 7:00 to 7:15 is still showing.
Actually this is the visible part of the problem.
After testing a bit, I think the issue is wm6.5 not refreshing appointment state often engough (I don't know how to explain that, but I think that the system is periodically refreshing the appointment state, which unables to know which appointment is the **current** appointment).
This would not be a big problem by itself (it actually refreshes after 2-3 minutes), but when you use a software like PhoneAlarm, which is supposed to change phone profile according to current appointment, then you have an issue: successive appointments make the automatic switch to fail, because the software thinks the "old" appointment is still active so ignores the new one...
Does anybody know this issue and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Looki
Anybody has this issue???
Critical for me because I make an extensive use of Pocketmax PhoneAlarm...
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
... I continue working on the topic.
I found in the registry the place where the "current appointment" is detailed.
It seems to be in "[HKCU]\System\State\Appointments\Current"
Also, I checked that this very key is not refreshed at the end of the appointment (behavior that I described in the first post).
As soon as some process (don't know which one) update this key, I observe:
1/ Information in this key is deleted (meaning that there is "no current appointment")
2/ Both lockscreen and phoneAlarm immediately react and adopt the appropriate status (lockscreen doesn't show the appointment and phoneAlarm switches to the correct phone profile)
The issue is that the key IS NOT updated at the end of the appointment, but some 1-2 minutes AFTER the end.
Does anybody know how to make more often system refreshment of this key?
Thanks for your help!
