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.

Threaded SMS on Niki

Hi!
I'm looking for a threaded SMS app for my Niki that:
- Integrates in the messaging interface (so not messasing in contacts)
- Shows the new message arrival on the screen (replacing the default notify)
- Works with Dutch T9
- Without upgrading to a WM6.1 rom
Any suggestions ? I know that the Palm Threaded SMS app does most of the things, except a good notify / count on the homescreen....
Xivius

I use the lord smiff threaded sms cab - this usses the t-mobile uk settings if you need this you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1309352- if not you can search for a suitable one,

Vito SMS Chat?

Vito does not support Dutch T9 ... doesnt it ?

Im testing the Vito SMS chat now and I love it, there are a few problems thouh.
1.) Does not work with the slide out keypad
2.) Does not work with the software touch keypad
So I use the software touch keyboard, so its a two handed job all the time.
3.) It moves all the SMS to a different folder.
So vito needs to work on these three things.
and if they can add:
-SMS Predefined groups.

I tried lord smiff threaded sms and it rocks. . But I no programs I know of backup the text messages

the 1.2 version of sms-chat works with the keyboard AND T9
I'm hoping they incorporate MMS into it soon as well

Thanks for bringing this back up.
When you say keyboard, do you mean the slide out touchpad?
Now I remember why I uninstalled it, as of now im testing pocketCM which also has threaded SMS

yeah the hardware keyboard and software touch keyboard both work perfectly well on my sms-chat and im using t9 as well
my sms-chat is version 1.02.

I just uninstalled pocketCM after a few hours, still buggy.
When Vito has the options to view calls and MMS together with SMS then ill get itfor sure, till then, it back to stock aps for me

where can i get the threaded sms cab??? please

read the first page of this thread...the link is on it!

Have you seen Extreme Text from Birdsoft? Check it out here. I use it on my Kaiser and really like it. It doesn't need WM6.1. It has a better looking interface even than @M6.1 Threaded Messaging.
A New Text Message box pops up when a message arrives, but I think it's the standard box. If you ignore it, it goes away - then just open Extreme Text and the message is there. But the message is also in the standard inbox, so you can access it through Arcsoft messaging as well, and you don't have to worry about backing up a separate set of files.
I don't know why it wouldn't work with any language T9 - it doesn't demand any certain keyboard. I just used it with Touch Diamond keyboard, no problem.

Why isn't this hack possible????

Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?

I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images

?
Multimedia Messaging
Short Message Service
Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .

As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.

I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.

But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS

I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.

no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.

problem with sms mms

Hi all,
if I go in messaging I see sms that I've become, but when I select one I se a blank page, but normally I have see the history of the message...
someone know the problem?
thanks

Are you talking about windows messaging or TF2D messaging? If you can be more specific about the problem, maybe people can assist.

Both I think.....
on the manila 2D click on message ..I see the messages but when I select one it opens blank..... if I select all message I see all message but when I select one I don't see the history but a blank page..
....
If you know a solution it's ok, because now I have loaded a new rom, so I can't check solutions......

forwarding a sms

hi all
i have tried searching for the answer but cant find it in the forums,so excuse me if this has been asked b4
when i receive a message which i like 2 or 3 text msgs long when i goto forward it it only displays the text that can fit into 1 msg,the only way i can do this is to use copy and paste!!
is there a setting to change or is this the only way to do it?
using standard wm6.1 from htc
thanks inadvance

can anybody help me ?
i love the phone but this is really frustrating as i recieve alot of texts a day and forward them all the time
thanks

Unfortunately there is a limit to amount of text you can send in one msg (160 characters).
If you want to send more than 160 characters it'll need to be 2 or more msgs. Alternatively you could send a mms using a word document
