Messaging shows 10 deleted messages, but folder is empty

In the Messaging app, the "Deleted Items" folder of my Text Messages has (10) after its name in the Show menu to indicate that there are 10 unread items in the folder. When I open the folder, there are no messages there, although at the bottom of the screen it sais " Text Messages 0 Items, 10 Unread". Whatever I try, I cannot clear that and make that 0 Items, 0 Unread, like it should show, since the folder is empty.
I tried the tools-> Empty Deleted Items option, but the problem remains. Does anyone know how to get rid of the message that there are 10 unread messages in th folder, although it is actually empty?
Thanks.

Do you use Sprite Backup? Sometimes a restore can cause that to happen. They have a utility that worked for me:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/a...il.zip&search=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0

Thanks the link you suggested worked, the count is now 0 like it should be. It even worked too good, it also erased my email and mms accounts, which I now cannot get to work again... Well, just have to install them again I guess, at least that annoying faulty sms count is gone now.

Glad it worked. The included .txt file does say that it will wipe everything clean and to be sure you're backed up with whatever's needed.
Hope you're back up and running.

Yeah, I read the .txt file. The app itself showed what items would be deleted, but never mentioned that it would delete all the mail settings and accounts as well. As it turns out, I couldn't get my MMS composer to work after I ran the program, so I hard reset the device and runned my backup on it. Now my MMS composer is back, my mail accounts and settings are back, but the annoying corrupt sms count is back as well off course. I plan to hard reset and reinstall all my apps manually anyway, since I am having more trouble at the farm, so I will then as a side benefit also be rid of the corrupt sms counts. But thanks anyway for your help.

I have the same problem after apply the patch of the Sprite. I make a hard reset but when I restaure again I disable 2 directory UAContents and folder of MMS. Now it works perfectly

That sounds as the thing I have been looking for. How did you disable the folders in your restore? When I restore, I cannot disable any folders, Sprite just puts back all my apps, folders, settings etc. Can you tell me how exactly did you leave out those folders? Should I do this when making a back up ( thereby losing the folders after the hard reset) or when restoring ( can you show me how to leave them out when restoring?). Can you tell me where the folders are located on my Compact?

It's necessary to exit of elementary mode. You can find it in Option. I don't arrive to understand in English, look here and here

Ok, thanks! I did the restore from my desktop PC, but I see that from my SD card I can choose to leave some folders out of the restore. Thanks for your help!

After applying the patch, when MMS composer dissapeares, you can install it again from Extended ROM. For me it was OK.
P/S/ To make ExtROM visible run LoadVDisc program from Windows folder

Audio Postcard

Is there way to rip this app from Vibrant?
I got Galaxy S and I really love this app!
Or maybe there is similar app elsewhere ?

Any one ? Help.

Here's my dump of my Galaxy S System/App folder

Thanks for this. But I think i got a problem, coz I got custom deoxed ROM - I cannot install it.

is there any way to get audio postcard to communicate via Gmail and not via text msg (MMS)?
i don't have msging on my phone, but do have unlimited data - don't feel like paying $10+ for 2-4 uses a month
but it is a decent option for those who haven't tried it - hit it, camera opens, take a pix, another screen opens for the user to record a voice msg, then it asks who you'd like to send it to
as email addresses are one of the options, i assumed it would email - no luck - found the 8 attempts in the notification window showing me "MMS service not available"

I haven't really messed around with it but if it gives you an option to just save the file then you can do that. THen open gmail and attach the file.

tks for the suggestion, just checked - no option to save

Did you look in the gallery, I use this app all the time with the kids and it always saves the pictures, you don't have to choose save, as soon as you snap it, it's saved. I haven't changed any settings on mine and they save to /dcim/camera (or /sdcard/dcim/camera if using root explorer) Hope that helps.

they're there, but no voice attachment
tks - found "talking photos" on android market, it's a little cruder ie not as polished or as fluid in use, but works

Up!
Anybody got a version that I could install on international i9000 ?
Or maybe somebody got an idea for an app with this kind of funcionality ?

I got the .apk and the .odex file. How do I apply them? I tried to install the .apk manually and it failed. Do I add both files to a zip and flash via Clockwork Recovery?

Use root explorer and copy both files to system/apps folder

try using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10223438&postcount=1

[Q] How to turn Handcent texts into a word document?

I recently had this hilarious long text and i want to share screen it over facebook to share. I don't know how to turn a string of texts into a word document that is exportable or at least copy and paste able. How should I tackle this problem?

You could install a notepad app on your phone and hop between the Handcent and the notepad copy and pasting one text at a time. Save the notepad as a .txt file and push that to your PC. Open with an office suite and edit from there.
If you'd been using Google Voice, you could have logged in and simply copied the whole exchange.
Sorry, but the slow bit by bit method is all I can think of right now.

Thanks for the input. I've thought of that too, brute forcing it, but I rather I export this big long thing as a whole rather than ctrl c ctrl v-ing every single entry...

Not sure how long it is, but normally I just forward it, and instead of sending it out, I cut all the txt and paste it into a new msg. Then back out of that msg, handcent will save as draft. Repeat the steps of forwarding and cutting the txt and continue pasting it into the draft msg. Once u got all msges, u can cut that and paste it into other apps or email it to yourself if you want it on the computer...ect.
Will that work for what you want?

Let's just say I have over 100 entries in the thread I want to put up onto facebook...
I don't know how I can cut ALL the entries at once,...

Another idea:
There are several SMS backup apps in the market that promise to back up to Gmail. Maybe you could backup the thread via one of those apps and copy the whole thread from your Gmail account.

hmm. for something that large, idk. Someone would have to create a specific app or something.
Closest i got was using SMS Backup, which turned my texts into an XML file.
Opening that in excel 2007 allowed me to filter by a certain number, and than copy and paste the msgs to a word doc.
Thats the only quick option I could find....sry

[Q] No Text Compose In Google Voice App

I have installed the APK for GV on my mom's Fire.
Although it connects to her Google account and displays received text messages, there is no way to compose and send or even reply to text messages.
I Do not want to install a secondary text messaging app because those give you a new phone number, and her contacts would not know who was texting them. (I have however, installed and removed one of these apps to confirm that sending texts from the fire is possible).
I have seen other's post that GV is working for sending and receiving, so I assume it is possible.
1. What should I check?
2. Is there a special version of GV that I need to install? (I installed build number 0.4.2.38 from my HTC EVO).

I helped someone fix this for their REzound on IRC the other day.
Get a new phone # and resetup your account, it fixed his issues.

Not sure what the problem is.
I just installed Google Voice from the GAPPS package and logged in. I had no problems at all seeing voice messages, and when I used it to send a text it worked fine.
I just can make a phone call with it, but I can use it for SMS both sending and receiving without any issues.

The exact issue the other guy had was, he had the # a really long time, and his account was not setup correctly for some reason, so he couldn't send anything at all through the app since it didn't detect his account basically.

Ah! I've heard about this GAPPS package, but haven't looked into it yet. Maybe it contains a version of GV that is somehow different than the one I used?
Can anyone provide a link, or tell me what forum to search for it? (I'll do a search myself, but am asking just in case I fail to find it).
should I un-install the other google apps I already loaded or will they just get over written?
Thanks, btw!
Edit: As expected, I had poor luck performing a search. Could not find GAPPS on XDA. I did find links on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com, but there are several, and the post states you need to download the correct version for your device. Which one are people having sucess with on KF?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps
Use the one for CyanogenMod 7

Thanks krelvinaz. Don't mean to be a pita, but googlevoice.apk was not in with the other apk's in that zip, unless it's named something else. Looks like it contains only the basic, necessary Google apk's required for most Google services (inc. contact sync, btw, which will be a big help!).
If I ever find the correct zip, do I flash with adb, or install each apk separately?

Will send you a PM.

So I got Gapps zip, extracted the apk's, and copied them to the Fire. Several Google core apk's won't install however: GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalanderSyncAdaptor, GoogleContactsSyncAdaptor.
I assume I need that last one to get contacts synced with the Gmail account.
In Google Voice, the button for writing a text now appears, but when I click it, I get a force close. Must need some other core app I guess.

Does Gapps require Root? I've been going round and round with GV on the Fire. Mostly, can't get contacts to show. I was accessing GV through Opera browser. As well as Gmail. I noticed after the last Fire update they included their own mail app and that wiped out my gmail app that I side loaded and worked fine (but now can't run at all) So hoping that Gapps works without root. It is my daughters and I would hate to break it. But I'm trying to get it set up for her as much as possible without rooting, to use Google products as they were intended. As of now, a LOT of pecking from place to place, just to do simple tasks.

A little work around. I'll try to remember how I did it. Has to be done on the stock browser. Google search for Google Voice. One of the results will get you a page that shows a few large cell phones and a blue button that says "send to your phone" or something similar. And it is sending m.google.com/voice as an SMS to your phone. I selected and put in my Google Voice number. Open browser and go to Google voice. This will take you to the crippled version. (where contacts don't show up and voice seems hard to use) it will also come to the notifications bar. Go to that SMS message and click on the link in it. Here's where I can't remember what I did. But you either go to the bottom of the page and switch to "desktop" Version or "more Google products" which will give a long list of icons and respected Google services. Once I opened that link to GV, it opened the normal desktop version. It showed only one contact, me from some earlier attempts. I found a link to "all contacts" and they all showed up. I went to GV settings, (the gear) and set up preferences. In general, always use GV to place calls. Set up your number you want to use for incoming calls. I deselect voice prompt when answering and chose the other option. Sorry that it is so vague. I stayed up late to figure it out. Didn't think to keep track of my steps. I think you need to go to your pc to put contacts in. Anyway, you can use this as a phonebook that you just hit "call" and it will ring your phone and auto dial your contact. Or you can use it to text the contact. I did both without any problems. The first thing I did was bookmark the page. I also copied the link and pasted it into Opera browser. I also bookmarked that one as well.
I will try to paste the link from the kindle when my daughter is done playing games. That might work too.

I am still struggling with this GV app issue on the KF.
I continue to suspect the app is not fully functional because I cannot get one or two google apk's to install in the system/apps folder: GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalanderSyncAdaptor, GoogleContactsSyncAdaptor.
I have installed root explorer and believe I have set the folder to RW, but when I try to run the apk's I get an error message, or a "did not install" message (I am not with the Kindle Fire right now, so I'm going from memory).
I believe this should work because several others have posted its working on theirs.

Help! [Rooted device] Copied items do not show up in clipboard.

Recently rooted my S7 edge with magisk and everything works fine except Copy&Paste function...
I can highlight texts and copy them and paste anywhere just fine. The copied text can also be seen in the clipboard.
However, in most apps where we don't highlight texts to copy but instead selecting "copy" button to copy (url links, messages, etc.. ) like in Facebook apps, whatsapp, YouTube and several more apps, the paste function do not work.. After pressing "copy", a notice pops up showing "message copied" / "link copied" / "link to post copied to clipboard" (which are normal) but the clipboard remains empty.. Basically what I copy just do not show up in clipboard unless I highlight a text and press copy like the old school way...
I tried installed and used SwiftKey keyboard and gboard and same issues occurred. I also tried force stop and clearing data and cache for AASAService, Clipboard Save Service, ClipboardUIService and Samsung Keyboard and allowing permissions to access contacts and storage for Samsung keyboard..
Tried also factory reset and clearing dalvik cache.
Literally searched the whole Internet but every suggestions failed to solve my problem... Anybody faced the same issue b4 or any pro can help me pls :crying:

Maybe the issue is with the rom you're using. I'm currently using Pixel Experience 10 on my s7 edge and clipboard works fine.

Thank you for your insight. Mayb i would try some of the custom roms available out there. Anyway i found that the problem is with ro.config.knox=v00 that is causing the problem. Reverting back to v30 solved it. However Samsung Internet secret mode can no longer be used:crying:
