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:

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

Phantom SMS inbox messages

This might be a bit long winded so my apologies in advance.
My XDA11 dumped itself and did a hard reset a couple of days back.
Luckily I had an oldish backup.stg file and was able to restore virtually everything to it's prior, if a bit old, state by restore via active sync.
However I discovered that my SMS and e-mail inboxes were full of messages which were niether readable or deletable.
Interestingly none of them have the envelope icon beside them.
Tapping a message produces a screen activity as if opening the message but nothing appears.
Similarly, tapping and attempting to delete a message results in nothing happening.
However any new SMS messages and e-mails react as usual.
I was able to remove all the 'ghost' messages for my e-mails by deleting all the accounts and then reinstating them however it appears this can't be done for the SMS account.
Through file explorer I deleted all the .mpb files in the /windows/messaging folder. This did not remove the ghosts either.
I have spoken unsuccesfully with O2 who merely think I should hard reset again and then reinstall everything from the ground up. This seems a bit screwy as there has to be folder/file in which these headers are held. They were also apparently unaware that activesync to a hard reset XDA requires I establish a new partnership which wont allow access to the old data (OK I can get round that but that's not the point....)
So has anyone else had this problem and sorted it I wonder?
I can live with these headers but it would be nice to lose them.
Thanks

Possible Lag Fix

I have noticed that having too many messages saved messes up the fluidity the device. So I started to delete my messages but it was still a bit laggy. However I found that the messages I deleted were still being saved in the deleted folder of messages. I cleared the folder and the phone runs smoother.

Firstly, awesome username.
Secondly, thanks, will take a look.
I'm guessing the "Clear the deleted message:" option in All Messages -> Menu -> Settings -> Options is the one to remove this step?

Somehow i wonder if this "feature" actually works.
I've set mine to delete immediately but all my messages still stay in the deleted folder. Heck, sometime after claearing it, the old messages stil suddenly reappear again :0

another tip is clearing your cache, i used a handy program called cleartemp from opnmarket and you cans et 3 custom folders also,

I have noticed that as well, I had to manually do it even after I set that feature.

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

You should be able to find it in there.

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] Copy Paste went Gone

Have a Nexus 4, 4.4, rooted.
I was using copy paste function a lot and now it has stopped.
I copy from Yahoo mail app and paste into SMS. Was working great now stopped.
After it had stopped, I tried a few things.
I tried installing a few copy paste apps, none worked so I deleted them.
Sometime around the time when it stopped, I installed a second language, almost sure it was still working then.
I tried searching for issues, saw a galaxy bug for copy paste and something to do with the clipboard file in the data folder. I dont have one, but figured I would try.
Copy paste works fine within sms itself but not from app to app such as email apps to sms.
I get the copy function in the mail but when I go to paste in sms the option will not appear.
Any ideas what I can do or a workaround to get text from email apps to paste to sms?

Does it work is all apps except the email app? Try reinstalling the email app.

I tried reinstalling the apps for my mail. Nothing.
It works if I do it inside the same app such as SMS, but I no longer can go from one app to another.
Now the paste option will at least appear but it pasts nothing.

Try flashing the system.img from the factory images.

I will have to do some reading I suppose as I have no idea what that even is.
Is itsething relatively simple that you can explain.
Thank you
