Can't clear unread SMS counter

I have 2 unread SMS showing in the slide2unlock screen and on the SPB shell icon. I deleted ALL of the SMS messages (drafts, outbox, etc. too). Yet still it shows 2 unread. I have threaded SMS installed. Is there a way to clear the unread messages?

I had that problem as well with threaded sms, even though i had gone into the program and read the texts the htc home plugin and the threaded sms today plugin still told me I had 3 sms messages waiting for me. I couldn't get rid of it until the next day someone else texted me, then the popup notification window came up telling me I had 4 texts, I clicked the option "save as read" (or maybe it was dismiss) and they all went away, see if you can get someone to text you and try that maybe?

Tried that....didn't help

I've had this happen too. I fixed it by uninstalling the threaded SMS application, then when I went into the stock SMS app, I saw an unread text message that the threaded app didn't know about. I think it has to do with installing the threaded SMS application when you have one or more unread texts. Who knows. Anyway, delete it, reinstall, and that should fix it.

there should still be a way to access the default text messaging folder even if you have threaded sms installed, too bad that option doesn't seem to be included (that i've seen) with any threaded progs I've seen yet. Hopefully the uninstall works for you.

my problem is a little different.
i am using the default messaging app and it tells me I have one unread message.
i have selected ALL messages and set to "mark all as unread". at this point it shows "126 messages, 127 unread".
anyone know how i can fix this....?
Thanks

I resolved the problem by uninstalling Threaded SMS. I saw the 2 unread messages, deleted them, then re-installed Threaded SMS.

I have the same problem on my Kaiser (wm6 htc shipped). I'm using default messaging app and it happens on HTC Home plugin and in msg app in "Select account" screen and on folder change screen (counter shows "1" next to "Inbox" even if i delete all messages from all folders)
It doesn't happen on SPB Diary plugin (here counter works ok) and also when I don't have any new messages, there isn't any "notification"/"new msg icon" on wm top bar (next to the Start button).
I know it is not Kaiser forum and this thread is little bit old, but I was looking for some fix across all xda-dev site and the only one thread i found is this.
If someone knows how to fix my problem (without making Hard Reset) it would be great

The only way I have been able to fix unread count since I am operating the OEM 6.1 threaded sms is to open up reg editor HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
Then change from SMSAvailable from 1 to 0, Close out the reg editor and select messages then go through and read the text message that is in bold(has not been read).
After this go back into reg editor adn go back to above value and change back from 0 to 1 and should be back in business. I may have to do this once a month due to a hung message. this always fixes it. Not sure if this will work for the folks using Cody's Threaded. I believe that it will, due to making the messages show up under the normal messaging folder.
Let me know if this works for you...it always works for me.

Search for "fixunreadcount".

I don't understand well english,but think that this file can help you...
extract file in ppc and execute it.

I am having HTC Touch(GSM) 128MB ROM & 64 MB SDRAM UNLOCKED(originall bought from UK, having Orange Connection). Recently I was fidling my device with phm registry editor, and some how what happend I dont know, But now the new sms counter which displays on the home screen tabs is not incrementing. If any new sms comes the counter remains '0'. Can ANY ONE please help. One more thing is there any ROM update for my set?

I have had this issue again in the last two days after flashing Ark_N's latest ROM for TP2.
What I have done just now is tap on the sms icon/button, tapped "all messages" text that appeared after tapping the sms icon/button, tap "menu", selected "settings", selected "traditional mode", scrolled down the messages till I came to a text message that was unread (bold type), read it by selecting it.
After that, I selected the "menu" button, selected "settings", then "conversation mode", "back", and pressed the "home" button (hardware button). And guess what? the issue was gone.
Hope this helps.

Turn off outgoing text message notification?

Does anyone know how to turn off the outgoing text message notification without having to turn off all notifications in settings?

turning it off!
yeah its actually really simple. it does require u to download a program called pocket toolman. which is also easy to get I found mine at
freewarepocketpc.net
once u download it, and if u can download it straight from ur mogul as a .cab it'll b easy as well. run the cab file and save it to ur device. once u do that u should be able to find it in your program files. clicking it will make it appear in the bottom toolbar as a small computer. open it, then open tools, then os tweaks. click next till u see an option to turn off message notifications. it'll require a soft reset bt then after ur done! enjoy. it also allows other tweaks to the phone which are helpful.

Cool, thanks a lot, I'll check it out! Seems like such a simple thing that should have been included from the get go.

Registry Tweak
If you are comfortable doing registry edits this will stop notifications for outgoing text messages.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\SMS
Change "Delivery Ack" from 1 to 0
Now go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
Once on 'Inbox', start a new 'key' and name it "Settings" when done, click on your new key Settings
Now you should be on HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Start a new 'Dword' and name it "SMSNoSentMsg" with the 'Value Data' of "1″.
Works like a champ.

SMS automatically turn on screen and show message

Is there any way to have the display turn on automatically when you get an sms message and to have the sms message displayed by default?

Same on Diamond
The Diamond works the same way the Touch HD. Maybe one of the tools their (I don't remember the name exactly) could help you to activate the SMS notification. What you'll have is you'll the SMS with the Windows notif, not in Manila.

Thanks...I'll search and post back if I find the way.

I think you need to do a Registry edit.
Go here:
HKLM>Drivers>Built In>RIL
select the value 'DisableSMSWakeUpEvent'
change the '1' to a '0' and soft reset.
Should work! (Hopefully)

device wake not up after receiving sms

Hi,
my HD2 is not waking up after receiving a sms. The green led is blinking but the display is still "black".
I changed in the "sound & notifications" the setting "Message: New message" -> "Display message on screen" to "yes" but nothing changed.
Installed programs:
Resco Explorer+Registry add-in
Background4allTabs
custom Taskbar Icons
CleanRAM
Duttys Task Manager
Chobit SmartLock
ROM Version 1.43.405.1 (70124)WWE
I uninstalled the SmartLock but the device is not waking up
Is there any other option i forget to set?
Greetings

wakeup on SMS is disabled as default for some stupid reason.
Edit the following reg key (from memory)
\localmachine\drivers\builtin\ril\disablesmswakeup - change from 1 to 0
My device now wakes up perfectly when getting a new SMS

thanks be_vigilant - works great now. maybe you can help me with the vibrations, too.
on my hd the device vibrates if a new sms received. i also set the setting "vibrate" in the sounds & notifications option. Is this also a registry "hack" to activate the vibration for sms?

Hi,
I want to do this too - where is the registery stored???
Cheers

you solved my receiving sms wakeup phone issue

[Q] How to disable sms notification / sms wakeup (screen lights up)?

Hi,
It is so annoying when the screen lights up for receivig a SMS. The Windows logo (where the search and backbuttom are placed) should be able to LED-light in a color when receiving a sms or e-mail and in fact we should be able to choose which color or even blink interval.
I would also like to be able to disable that it shows the message in the top statusbar I only want to show an SMS envelope but again it should be adjustable.
For being able to change settings we need to use the registry and this is the way I installed a registry editor:
Installed Windows Phone developer tools from Microsoft and have unlocked my phone by finding the "ChevronWP7" unlocker tool and send (by e-mail) the "ChevronCert" (a certificate which need to be installed on the phone) to my WP7 HTC Trophy and installed the certificate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
Downloaded "Tom XAP Installer v1.2.zip" and installed "RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0.xap" where I have tried several registry fixes found on different websites: "modify-sms-notifications-in-windows-phone-7" but nothing worked also found a solution here and the same again nothing i working:
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
Could someone help me out I would really appreciate....And I think a lot out there would to
Thanks.
