I have this happen but not with text messages but rather with new email messages. The exact same thing happens as you say. I will open the email and it will go back to the today screen but once I press the email messaging button it will open up to that email.
If you say your getting this problem with text messages and you press the messaging button I'm assuming your not using the threaded sms hack. I'm using the threaded hack so thats why I don't need to press the messaging button to open new text but I do need to press that button to open emails.

I've never tried a threaded sms before, how is it, and can you post a cab or a link to it for me? thanks man.

Here is a link to start you off http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135927.

i'm having that issue as well, assumed it was the threaded sms for wm6 that i just installed. could be related to something else though as it sounds like you're not using the threaded app...

yep, count me in as well, that happens in both SMS and Emails

so did anyone find a fix, or solution to this? kind of aggravating at times. tia.

oh and medic or anyone else using the threaded sms, is it worth it to you all? can I remove it if I dont like it? tia again guys.

I have ContactCM installed and hav e the same problem. All in all it sounds like a bug in Windows Mobile 6 because I haven't heard of anyone on 5 having this problem.

SMS/email Questions (htc home, palm threaded sms)

I have htc home installed. I love the way palm threaded sms works, but it gets really annoying at times. is there any way to set it up so that when i hit the text button on htc home it opens JUST my sms inbox, and when i hit the email button, it opens JUST my email? right now, it opens the main messaging window, as well as the text or email window whenever i hit either of those buttons.
also, when palm threaded sms is installed, my text message inbox opens itself about every 10 minutes on its own, does anyone know how to stop this?
if not, does anyone know of another sms program? the one that comes on the mogul is really slow and ugly, i dont even care if its threaded, i just want something faster and possibly better looking than the built in one

Load up your emai/sms ap, menu -> tools -> settings untick "display account picker"

well that solved the problem of it opening the picker, but it created another problem. now the email icon on the htc home plugin just opens text message inbox as well. is there a way to set what those buttons open? Also, is there a way to delete this "Outlook E-mail" account?
thanks for your reply isix

Is is possible to delete a single sms in a threaded view?

When I open a sms, it opens in a threaded view with all the messages in the conversation. However, is it possible to delete a specific message in this conversation?

It is but it is annoying.
In threaded view click on the underlined part of the message, the bit with the name and time. This will take you to a screen with options to call, text etc. Press the back button and the whole message should now be highlighted blue. Now the delete option is available in the menu.
Does anyone know an easier way to do this or delete multiple messages at a time?

To select the message in question just use the up and down keys on one of the HTC keyboards....

Thank you. It worked. But sometimes I was able to select a message, so I could delete it, without taking me to the new screen. But it seemed really random, most of the times it took me to the new screen.
michi123's solution also works well. Seems to me that this SMS application isn't really made for devices with no physical buttons.

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!!

minor irritation regarding message notifications.

When i get a message I get a notification in the notification bar, but when i open the text the notification stays until I click on the text bubble and the text is displayed on a black background. Is there anyway to change it so the notification disappears as soon as i open the text?
Thanks

Agree, this is annoying the hell out of me. One time I had 50 text messages (conversations from 7 people) and I had too many notifications. WTF is up with that. LOL

if u use back to get out of the msg app it will go away

True, but I'd prefer if the notification went away when I read the message, sometimes I read the message and go to the home screen and the notification is still there until I go back in the message app and click back.

use handcent messaging app instead. it works properly. Also use a custom home screen so you can set handcent as your main messaging program icon at the bottom.
hope that helps

You can do that without a custom homescreen too. When in the applications menu, press the menu key and then choose 'Edit'. You can move the apps in and out of the bottom bar just like you move other apps around, by holding your finger on them for a second and dragging them.

Nope, this doesn' work for me. I use Handcent and like I said, even after many text messages, all the notifications won't go away. Just have to "clear" all of em.

Very annoying indeed.
To clear multiple message notifications (per contact) you'd have to hit menu button -> More -> Discard
It's very annoying.
I'm looking for a workaround too. I really don't min this phone at all, coming from a Touch HD hehehe this is a major improvement (speed wise, screen wise, response wise even features are up there) but I do miss my custom energy cookie roms which brought my touch hd back from the dead a few times over the last year.

I also do this for the meantime I can start customizing my phone...

I think the best way to fix this is use Handsent SMS program and disable messaging notification.

so far the back button seems to be working lol (i used to press home)

Ever encounter if u receive a notification, the preview name and sender is different. Meaning if you go inbox and read the sms, its the correct sender. If its at the notification bar, it another name. Hmm. Wonder why.

What you should do is use SMS Popup to notify you of a new text message.
Without this is what I get when I get a sms.
1. SMS arrives, phone rings + vibrates or w/e it's set to.
2. I press home to turn on the screen, and I see a SMS notification, and a SMS notification on the lock screen.
3. I swipe the glass.
4. I scroll down the notification bar, or press launcherpro's SMS icon that has a badge that says 1 at this point in time.
5. I read the sms, at this point I have to...
6. Press back, this clears the notification in the top bar.
7. Go back to home screen, and click the launcherpro icon if I choose to use the notification bar.
The worst bit is that I could dismiss the SMS after reading it entirely in the drawer, or when I 'got' it and saw it displayed on the screen.
I'm pretty sure Samsung's SMS app is just broken and doesn't report intents properly when messages are still alive and read and such.

issue no longer there
I've tried to get FROYO going on my phone using the registry hack
unsuccessful but what I ended up with a rom that's fixed this sms notification issue when multiple sms's are received from the one contact.
Basically no BACK button or MENU -> MORE -> DISCARD
needed for the notifications to disappear. I'm only guessing that this is also going to be fixed with Android 2.2
My current version is:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband I9000UGJH2
Kernel 2.6.29
Build ECLAIR.UGJH2
