SMS problem - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok i have this weird problem.
It keeps showing me that i have next texts, when i really don't. I think it has something to do with the text secure app.
Like, it says i have a new message up on the status bar. So i pull it down and press where it says new message (it doesn't identify who it was from either, which is odd). It takes me to my text secure inbox, where there is no new messages. There is also no new messages in my regular inbox (which i don't use anymore).
And i can't get rid of the notification on the top that says i have a new message unless i clear notifications.
It doesn't really effect too much on the phone, but something is messed up and its quite annoying.

maybe gchat or other messaging services?

notifications coming back

Hi,
When I receive e.g. an sms, I select the "remove notifications" button in the notification bar on the top... works fine but when a few hours later I open the sms-application I suddenly again get the same notification
It seems like the phone notices that I haven't "read" (opened) the text message yet...
Kinda silly especially for short messages that you can read directly in the notification bar.
Anyone else has this problem?
Cheers

well its actually not a problem for me, like you said unless you open the message the notification will keep coming.
so just open it i guess, its no big deal. i just did it in 1.5 seconds...

Clearing the message in from the notification bar only clears the message from the notification bar not mark it as read. You can change the settings in the messaging app if you want. Or if you want a pop up use 'SMSpopup' from the market.

Message notification problem.

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.

Eris grey envelope with arrow wont go away HELP!!

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!!

Email Not Keeping Messages/Text Message Notification Question

1. Email: Every time email polls it deletes all messages. It drives me nuts, because I want to keep most recent emails on my phone as reference (which is what I did with my iPhone, and before that with my WM).
This happens both with the stock email and with K-9.
2. Notifications: I get a call and a notification pops up on the top bar - I pull the shade down and clear it. But then, there is also a counter on the bottom phone icon, which does not clear until I go into the call log. Any way to clear these at once (since it's the same notification)?
Also, is there a way to get a text message notification to work like the iPhone: to wake up the screen for a few seconds upon arrival, so I can see what is says and who it's from, without turning on the phone?
I hear you, Macguy!
Driving me nuts too! I'm used to WinMo phone where I can have my emails on my phone and in my PC.
Why can't anyone make such an email app for Android??? I don't want to live in the Google cloud!!!

Weird text message issue

I got a text message in my notifications, so I click on it, but it comes up empty. so I go back to the home window, but the text message keeps repeating in the notifications. I restarted the phone and it's still doing it.
It's weird :-/ Take out battery & insert again after 10 seconds, it may help...
Have you more than one SMS applications?
Nope, I have only text application that came with the phone.
I did the battery thing. It's still doing it. I keep getting he message showing up in my notifications bar. What's annoying is the LED keeps blinking green.
I've even downloaded a task killer and killed messaging and it's still there. I've also went into settings>applications>messaging and cleared all data and cache and the stupid notification keeps displaying and LED blinking. It's annoying.
okay fixed the issue and really simple and I feel stupid now.
When you pull down notifications, there's a big button on the top that says CLEAR. If you press that it goes away. LOL.... I feel stupid.
EDIT TO THIS: Nope this has not fixed the issue, the message has returned into my notifications.
Reinstall the software with SEUS or SE companion

perfect thank you very much. It seems like it worked, simple and easy solution.
Only a small problem when I import the messages back in, the ghost notification message comes back. But deleting all the messages worked so I'll stick with that.
empty message when clossing message app too fast
I've got another weird text message issue:
If I send a message and press the back-button right after, the recipient will receive an empty message.
I need to wait for the red thingy next to the message's gone. I think that that icon means that the message is being sent.
Is that normal? Is it a setting I can change? I use the standard sms app....
EDIT: and I get a notification that the message is saved in concepts
I used to get weird numeric string messages from rogers on omnia but I hav't recieved any on xperia so far
