New SMS notifications - won't disappear

Im sorry if this has already been discussed but i couldnt put into words really for a search criteria, im sure im not the only person with this problem.
When an SMS arrives a little green 1 will show by the "letter" on touchFLO 3d, sometimes when you scroll to read the message the little green 1 (or 2 or whatever) doesnt disappear and i have to keep clicking the mail icon, or go into the WM6 message inbox to change it from "New" to "Read".
I think it happens with the email part too, not just SMS.
Anyone know how to solve this, it's as annoying as thrush.
Sorry about my punctuation, i'm from Wales, hehe

Thrush !
It's annoyingly slow to register as read... there may be a registry tweak but a search revealed nothing yet

Thats a Shame I really thought someone else would have susses this with all the tweaks and tidbits.

I am having the same problem but with the email notification. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same pb any suggestion?

Just try to click on the message and it will be open in the text mode and then close it.

I guess what the last post suggests doesn't work for the OP, at least it doesn't work for me. None of my messages are highlighted as 'unread', yet the 'unread SMS' notification at in TouchFlo doesn't disappear.
Anyone has any idea how to get rid of it ?
Thanks

Have the same problem with email...stuck at 2 even thouch all mails have been deleted or read.
Thanks
Woon

May I ask if deleting the account itself remove the erroneous counter?

Guys,
Check your Outlook inbox to make sure there is no unread mails there. The TF3D does not show the Outlook account but the counter in the mail tab does.
I solved my problem that way.

excellent, that worked. many thanks !

You're welcome, this place is a plethora of knowledge.

unfortunately it turns out the cab works only until i recieve a new message, after that the '1 unread message' notification appears again and stays even after i've read the new message.... so i'm back to where I started.
still thanks for the help. any other ideas ?

came across this bit of software but don't know whether it'll act any different from the cab.
Have you looked through every folder in the account-tree yet? Make sure they're all being synchronised as some Imap\webmail accounts can act funny (Inbox\Menu\Tools\Manage folders).
But perhaps the only thing left is to backup and hard reset (without backing up the mailfolders of course)? And otherwise it means executing the cab every time it happens again..

Mail problem after installing SMS hotfix!

After I installed SMS hotfix from HTC, I cannot open my mails directly from mail tab on Sense UI. I tap on the mail, nothing happens. I have to go to inbox and open them from there!? I removed the hotfix but it's still there. It's really annoying! Does anynone have the same problem?

Did you try a soft reset or switch the phone off and then back on?

Yes, I did it twice, but the problem's still there

Me too .. sometimes

This is a known issue (and has nothing to do with the above-mentioned hotfix) and seriously, you would have found it had you searched.
Go to start and then lock (bottom-left softkey). After that it will work.

I would highly recommend that you disable HTC Messaging.
Please refer to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
and
install NET framework 3.5
The SMS now works very fast and flawlessly

Email light and internet/T-Mo HD2

Hi all, I searched to no end and read just about EVERY post looking for these answers sooo does anyone know of a reg edit where you can have the green light flashing when you receive an email? I already have it checked off in settings to "show on screen (does not do this either) and flash Light for "no limit" (I also put the .cab "LED Enabler on it) and also I'm looking to modd the Internet links and have Opera as default like I did to the XML file on my TP2. Last Question is how can I make TomTom the default for opening GPS in "Foot Prints" Anyone know how this is done on my TMOUS HD2 Thx...Tj

hmm noone knows?

Email light: I know for a fact that this was (and remains...) non-working in all the official ROMs and updates. HTC customer service even goes so far as to deny there's even a problem: they swear their green 'new email' light works just fine.
Several workarounds (I suggest not holding your breath 'til HTC gets around to fixing this...):
- PhoneAlarm. The developer has made a fix that will fire the green light. It's a paid app, but does all sorts of other amazing things though (mute your alarms when you get to a specific cell tower or GPS spot, for instance).
- This app by an XDA member: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636439&page=14

just check the box for messaging in an app called bsb tweaks. it works fine on stock roms.

THANK YOU both for the answers on the problem...Tj
WELL the bSb program messed up the phone. Its now showing 2 SD cards and all my programs are not responding on my T-mo HD2

Re: the second storage card: look in explorer, and find out which one isn't your real one. Delete it. Restart your phone, and you'll be in business again. (Your phone couldn't find the apps you installed on your SD card; not a big deal).

No-one said SMS light doesn't work; it's the 'new email' LED that doesn't work...for anyone.

ok.
i dont use push email but i can see that it would be a bummer that it doesnt work straight out of the box

What's this got to do with push mail?

well i just figured that those were the only options of getting email to the phone other than sms and mms.
im not familiar with all the e-mail stuff.
so if its not microsoft direct push, what other means are you guys/gals talking about?

I can't get the LED to flash for NEW Email either. Kinda annoying!

Well at least I'm not the only one...Tj

E-mail notification problem, need help please.

Got my HD2 yesterday and went through all the steps to install Kumar's rom. Everything is running great but I have just one small problem.
The e-mail notifier on the home screen shows I have 1 new message when I don't. I've tried reading all that it downloaded, deleting all e-mails, deleting e-mail account, and setting it up again. It still shows I have 1 unread e-mail.
Is there a registry key I can change to fix this problem? Or perhaps another method I have not tried yet?

Have you tired a battery pull or a soft reset. I have had this issue once before and also check in your htc mail box if there is any boxes that have unopened mail that might be it also.

Have tried resetting the device. Will check the HTC thing, if you could tell me how to find it that is...

just go to your inbox that says it has a message. on the top left if you click inbox a drop down list showing all your folders should show and check in those folders.
Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677686
which he suggest the same thing I did but the person who posted the question did not respond on wether it fixed it or not.

Found it, bah stupid Outlook e-mail having messages in it when I never set it up. Thank you for your help.

TP2 says I have new txt mssg when I really don't

All of a sudden for some odd reason, my Sprint TP2 has been alerting me that I have a new text message. I get the little green circle with the number 1 in it, alerting me that I have an unread text message when all of them have been opened and read. I've tried soft resetting and nothing. I've tried clearing my inbox/sent items/deleted items thinking it was full or clogged but still nothing. I have no idea why it started doing this. Its just annoying having my phone vibrate every 5 minutes with my ReRemindv7 app. Anybody have a solution to this besides hard resetting?

what i have found to work to solve this is... have somebody text you. but before they do. have microsoft's messager open. (aka start menu -> text). when you get the text message. it will be bold. open it. ...works for me. in ridding of the notification for a text that isnt there. hope it helps you. as well.

Run and soft reset. Worked for me.

you might have to fully open the convo with that contact. or go to tools and delete all.

That's the thing, I check in my contacts and nobody has an unread message. Its just thinking that I have an unread message when everything is empty. And when I do get one text message it says that I have 2 unread messages. And this is only with sms, not email. Email is fine. This is just too weird and annoying.

again. using microsoft messager.
open up the conversation you and another are having.
have that person text you. reply.
there text to you should still be bold.
select it. bold should go away.
and the invisible text...
...just realized. that the invisible text i had.
