I'm not one for askin questions as a good search normally throws summat up along the lines of what i would be looking for but right now i'm stuck. This has annoyed me for a while now, when i've received an sms or email .etc notification and i read the sms the 'notification bubble' (the thing that shows how many messages i have) stays there if i come out of the message too quick, 99% of the time i have read the message and i have to wait for a couple of seconds to make sure that the number of new messages icon dissapears, is there any way of changing the length of time of this, so if i get a new message i can look at it and read it in a split second and the phone excepts that i dont have a 'new' message anymore?
My appologies if this has been answered as i figured it would be a common problem.......hangovers dont normally effect my searching abilities

Please pardon this posting (if this is an already known issue - it's 3.00AM and I've been combing the Herald threads for known issues but didn't see this on there)...
I got a new Wing today and after placing the SIM card in it, the phone works like one would expect until you try to send a text message. That never gets sent . What's more aggravating is the behavior on incoming text messages. The keys light up when I get a new text message and the counter on the home screen adds to the number of unread messages however, when I click on the link to attempt to view the messages, the inbox is blank. 0 messages in it. I have checked all the folders to no avail. Even a hard reset on the device doesn't seem to fix the issue. Am I missing something here? If so what??
FYI I called T-Mo support and their Tier 3 guy was stumped.
Here's the wierd thing while I was going through testing to validate that this was an actual issue, I did get the "incoming text message" bubble notification and from there, I clicked on Menu (from the home page) and was able to view the text messages - so they're somewhere in my phone, just not in the inbox - anyone have any idea where I can look?
*bump*
I'm having this problem now. Ever find the fix?
Hi Folks,
This is a small, seemingly insignificant problem but it's bloody annoying so I'm hoping you can help me solve it:
When I receive a new message (SMS, MMS, Email) the little message shortcut on the desktop get's the little green '1' overlaid to show there's a message. Once I read the message and reply it doesn't disappear. I can open the message in Chomp or the system default app and it doesn't seem to register with the shortcut - it still shows the overlaid green number.
I know this is something of a trifling problem but I have my phone on silent a lot so it does cause some confusion.
Thanks in advance.
i've noticed mine staying on for a while but then disappearing... maybe it sits there for another 10/15 minutes?
Could be. I have to admit that afer about 10 minutes I've been losing patience and deleting the message, which makes it go away.
do u read ur messages through the widget page? cause i noticed that if u do, then the little green ball remains but somehow if u click on the message icon with the green ball to access ur acc and read from there, then it goes away.
I think that may be a factor, yeah. When I read them through the 'drag down' menu, either with chomp or system default it stays, I'll open the next one through the icon and see if that changes things.
I find that the trackball keeps flashing too unless you actually tap on the Messages shortcut icon to read the new messages that come through (as oppose to viewing from the notifications menu or through the text messages widget). I hope HTC fix this issue 'cos not everyone wants to go through the messages app via the Messages shortcut icon.
Yeah, I only used the messaging icon yesterday and it was fine. The problem seems limited to when you use the 'drag-down- menu.
Hi sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn’t find it. I have a G2 Touch the problem I have is when I receive an sms text message it displays the message as soon as I get it the background fades out and the message appears in a highlighted window along with the sender. What I want it to do is show there is a message in the notification bar then manually go to messages and open it in there. This is the way it happened when I first got the phone and it then started displaying them on receipt. I don’t have any sms apps installed but I just can’t find a way of stopping this from happening. Thank You in advance.
Hey guys,
I have the problem with the wrong count of unread SMS.
When I receive a new SMS, it doesn't get marked as read.
I can do anything, but new SMS stay unread.
But deleting these SMS doesn't reduce the unread count.
Even using the "Fixunreadcount.exe" didn't change a thing.
This bug is driving me mad and I can't find a good solution.
Please help me!
PS: Using Dutty's HD Holy Grail R2 ROM
I had a problem with my TouchFlo SMS icon showing a green '1' saying I had a message when I couldn't find it.
I went through all my messages and conversations and had no luck. A few months later, irrelevent to fixing it, I got some software which made it so when your phone screen goes black it will auto lock it with the slider to unlock (like the iPhone has). It's called S2U2. On the unlock slider screen you are able to preview SMS and email messages without unlocking them, which is quite nice. With the unread count still showing 1 problem, I had the SMS icon there despite me knowing I didn't really have any more messages. To my suprise it actually previewed a message I had received about 6 months ago. I went to that message and read it again, the unread count problem was fixed permently.
I did use the fixunread count tool but as soon as I got a new message it would show 2, then one after I read the new one.
I hope you understand this, good luck!
Yeah I understand your problem.
But the weird thing with my phone is, that the messages don't get marked as read.
I see them in the "All Messages" screen with a green "1" bubble, but when I read them, the count doesn't disappear.
EDIT: Never mind, i've seen you've already tried FixUnreadCount... that worked for me though, although there was only 1 unread message that I couldn't see.
It's screwed Did 2 hard resets, flash with previous task 29 formatting but the problem still occurs.
I think it comes from some 3rd party software. Just have to figure out what it is.
when i look through a text message convo, the messages are back to front, like say i send a message asking a question, it would show the answer first and then the question, you cant make sense of the conversation because all the messages are mixed around. how can i fix it?
thanks,
got any screenshots?
Sounds like your time is set wrong, probably need to set it back a minute or two
