Hi,
my first problem with my x10 has encountered (after 3 months). I recently got a message, but it did not show in my inbox, only as a new alert. I cannot access this message, not even if I click on the new alert. It will only direct me to an empty message.
This is actually not a problem, but the thing is that I cannot delete this alert. It will come back even after I clear all messages, kill the messaging application, and even after a reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: When I clear the alert, it will not return after I enter another text message.
Edit2: Solved, removal of all messages (settings -> delete all threads) worked.
The exact same thing happened to my friend's X10...haha i wonder why this happens?

I recently upgraded to WM6. I had backed up all my sms messages in Outlook on my PC which I copied back to my device. Since the device recognizes all the messages as new, it marks them as unread. The hassle is when you have to mark them as read. And you can't select all and mark them as read because if you try that mistake, your XDA is going to go to sleep and there is no telling when will it wake up. So once in a while, when I upgrade and I have to copy all SMS messages back to the device, I mark them read doing 30-40 messages at a time.
Sometimes, I have noticed that when you are done marking them as read, there is a bug in the software and screen status at the bottom as well as the folders list shows 1 message as unread. It also appears on the Today screen: "Text Message: 1 unread message"
Now, my question is, how can I mark all messages as read. One way is to hard reset the device and re do the whole process. I am sure that will work, but its a tedious. Is there any shortcut to it?
Oh and I moved all messages in the Inbox to the Deleted Items folder, now the Inbox is completely empty but it still shows 1 unread message. There should be a way to reset the count? Is there?
I have tried running the fixunreadmessages.exe utility on it. It reset the count of the Inbox to 0 but the Today screen and the folder list still show 1 unread message.
I had the same problem. I posted my solution (which i cant remember) on a thread on the forum just incase anyone else had the problem. Will try and find it.
HI all,
I am running PointUI on my Wing in Windows Mobile 6, and yesterday I noticed that I have a phantom unread message in my sms inbox. I say phantom because I have cleared everything out and there shouldn't be anything in there, but the bottom of that inbox screen which gives you the message totals count says 1 unread sms. Also, the PointUI interface is showing a 1 in the sms icon like there is a message, but I can't find it. The indicator LED light is not amber but it's driving me nuts. I have tried several soft boots to see if that corrected the problem and it did not. Also, I have rebooted and not started PointUI and the issue is still there on the windows today screen.
Has anyone ever had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie
I have had a similar issue with phantom unread email messages a couple of times. I found a small program on this site which fixed it for me.
Do a search for "fixunreadcount" on this site, and you should find it. If it does not turn up, let me know and I will check to see if I still have a copy saved on my PC.

I couldn't find a program for that and it's still doing it. I've even dropped PointUI and still have the phantom message on the original today screen.

Sorry for the hijack, but I was hoping others who have had this problem could maybe suggest other things to try. I tried the fixunreadcount.exe program, it said it corrected the SMS inbox from 1 to 0, ran it again, came up OK, did a soft-reset and it still shows 1 on the Home screen and says "0 items, 1 unread" in the inbox. Grr. I've tried running the fixunreadcount several times, it corrects from 1 to 0 every time, I've tried the inbox settings registry change that someone in another thread suggested, nothing makes that stupid 1 go away. Maybe it's time to reflash....
EDIT: I ran the fixunreadcount three more times, trying a combination between soft-resetting and powering down, and it FINALLY cleared it! I can now say this program works...eventually!
Thank you, this fixed it for me. After running the program it required a soft reset.
In my situation the actions that led to this situation was that I had sent one SMS to multiple receivers and was "cleaning" the SMS folder by deleting the message received notifications. During this I received other "message received" notifications and as of the result of this the "unread count" remained in "1" (one). My assumption was that one of the deleted notifications was moved from the inbox to the deleted items, but somehow the "system" did not remove it from the inbox. I assume this is a "rare" situation and was partially caused by me accessing the device while I got more notifications. Device was HTC Diamond - first generation and I'm running WM6.1 build 20764.1.4.3.
cheers guys. it fixed my issue on the TP2
For me 2. Thanks.
Hi all,
updated to 1.66.405 rom last week and all is seemingly well except....
I had a message yesterday from a person who i had already sent/received over 200 messages on phone, since THAT message arrived, whenever i get a message from that person (and there have been over 100 since yesterday!) the phone automatically goes to THAT message in the HTC messages inbox despite showing as havinga new message.
Often when replying to the new message, the cursor ends up going to THAT message whilst i am typing. More annoyingly whether i hold down on THAT message to bring up menu and select delate, or select delete messages from main menu, scroll to it, select it to delete...... THAT message wont damn well be deleted it is a devilish message.
I cant find where messages are stored on the activesync connection to try and delete it from there (any tips please), and to add insult to injury i have tried to get to myphone website all morning today and Microsoft have taken it down for updating !!!
Arrghhhh - any help advice would be appreciated.
Have finally got back onto MS Myphone, deleted entry there, synced and hey presto all funky again
Ok so this notification just started on my Eris! when I get a message(only text not emails) this grey envelope with a arrow on it comes up in my notifications even after I’ve read and replied to the message its still there until I click it and i take me to the message that ive already replied to. I’ve turned of all settings has far as auto retrieve and text notification but it still comes up! I deleted a bunch of apps thinking maybe one of them was causing this. I called htc they had no answers but to do a hard reset and lose everything not something I want to do! So if ya know something that would help please let me know thanks!
I found a fix
Aspotcat can be downloaded from the market it will show you what is running with ur text. found out some weird app was on there but no where to be found in my phone deleted it and problem solved!
Okay..seems like you have two text message applications....
IF thats the case, then try the following:
Your stock application can be reached from the app drawer...go there and then open the stock sms application...then go to settings and remove the check next to "notification"....
Now you should only have a notification every time you receive a text from the secondary application you're using..(i.e., handcent, byte sms, etc)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If that still doesnt work...repeat the following using your secondary messaging application (handcent..blah blah)
Now if you did that and your message is still showing..delete all of the messages in the stock application...this should clear it...or then simply open every single text up..(im sure you're running threaded messaging so it'll be a little eaiser)
If you're still having problems...and are on a rooted rom....reflash a custom rom and you'll be fine!!
This is the first time I get this message where and oddly enough ALL messages are marked as sent. I tried deleting cache and data then rebooting and as soon as I tap the sms icon the "message not sent" appears on the status bar. I have checked my conversations and there isn't a single one stuck on sending. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 4
Oh boy.. I have started getting this error SO MUCH, for the past few months. Earlier I thought this was my operator's issue but if other N4 users are also getting it then it may be some issue with the phone's software or something. Plus, no one else who uses the same network at my home or friends are getting this issue. :s
Basically during a covnersation, often people start textimg me "hey where did u go"... or "u there" etc.. And infact I actually am replying them but they are not getting my messages. So I restart my phone and there I see "Message not sent" error in notification and a lot of red triangular icons in inbox conversations.
What to do :s
SOLVED
Found the following solution that worked like a charm!
1. Install Handcent SMS from Android Marketplace
2. Launch Handcent SMS
3. Press Menu Button >> More + >> Undelivered messages
4. Here you can delete undelivered conversations and end your "messages not sent" woes!"

It did not worked for me. Handcent was showing one undelivered message, but was unable to remove it. Maybe because both recipient and body was empty.
Very strange.
The solution was to:
1. install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
2. do a backup,
3. remove all messages from SMS app (you can do it in one shot from menu),
4. restore,
5. problem gone.
It's clearly an android bug.
