The title says it all really. And the woman that I sent the text to originally is getting really peed off!
Any suggestions on how to get at the offending text & actually delete it from the Outbox? It's constantly there!
I had this happen to me once. I had to HR the phone to get it to clear. Nothing, not even a SR would clear it.

I had the same problem haha and the girl was getting pissed, hard reset was all I could find to fix it
Dang! What about software to delete from PC?
I used to have this problem when i had a wizard... what was happening was SPB Pocket Plus would terminate the messaging application, then when i would open it back up to write a message to someone it would resend a couple of my previous messages.
That was resolved by adding the messaging app to be excluded from SPB Pocket +'s feature to shut down apps upon pressing the close button. I think now SPB has realized this, among many other task manager apps, and u don't need to add the messaging app to a 'safe list' because i haven't had to do it forever.
Then it happened to me later but that was a problem with the network.
i'd go ahead and do the hard reset... :S

Did the msg say "I will stalk you"?
It says "Will do"....... hope the other 'alf doesn't see it & draw her own conclusions!
I was enjoying my new Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile for over a month now and suddenly I noticed that Touch Flo 3D said I had a "new text message". I usually just check "all messages" so that I can see all text message "discussions" instead of one at a time or "read only" mode when you tap a contact and slide over to "sms". So this time I checked "all messages" and none of my messages were "unread". I even went through every conversation to make sure nothing was missing, not even an mms message.
I even turned off Touch Flo 3D thinking that was causing the issue, no dice. Everytime I go into the SMS app for Windows Mobile and look at the folder tree, I see "inbox (1)". So I downloaded a cab file from xda that allows "mark all as read" in the sms app. After installing/softresetting and choosing "mark all as read" from within the WinMo SMS app, this issue did not go away both in Touch Flo 3D and in the WinMo SMS app.
Finally I came across a link of someone having an issue with their HTC Hermes (Kaiser?). They made a program called "FixUnreadCount". This app shows that it is checking all mailboxes (including sms/mms) on the WinMo message app and determines which messages are actually "read" or not.
Once I got to the "sms" portion of the scan, it found that all messages had been read, but the notification was set to "1". It fixed this and moved on to check my other messages on the phone.
After the scan finished, I noticed that TF3D still thought I had an unread message so I softreset my Touch Pro 2 and that was it. Touch Flo 3D had synchronized with the WinMo messaging app and determined that there were no "unread" messages.
I felt I would post this up here since I know there are a lot of Touch Pro 2 owners out there and none of the other fixes worked for me. I also hope that this can be found easily in a search because finding the fix in the hermes forum was almost dumb luck.
I posted a link to the thread that has the file available for download. It's a zip file. I just downloaded the file via Opera directly onto my storage card, then extracted the file and ran the file after extracting. You may get a warning that says "unknown publisher" just tap allow and it should run just fine.

Thank you, I've hard reset twice already because of this annoyance.
Thank you. Ran it once and after a soft-reset, all was fixed.
This fix worked for me to.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the post!
Glad I could help. I know this was an issue that wasn't covered too well when I first learned about it. Making it easy for others.
Just use SafeInboxExtender
Once installed, go to your inbox (windows default, not TF3D), click menu, scroll down and click 'mark all as read'
That should do the trick, and its easy too.
i have been having this issue with my phone for months thanks so much for posting this, yur a life saver... really!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this soo much. I was about to flash my phone again cause I had this problem the first month I got my TP2 and looked online a lil' and could not find an answer... dat is why I luv this forum
I had this same issue and stupidly started a new thread without a thorough search (sorry).
Any ideas why it happened in the first place?
Well, I installed the SafeInboxExtender and clicked on Mark All As Read and the phone still says that I have one unread message. It didn't work for me. Any other ideas, guys?

So did you try FixUnreadCount followed by a soft reset, as in the first post?
Can someone please help me! I have downloaded this zip many times and it works for a few days then the phantom message appears again somedays totaling to like 5 new text so it says. Is there anything I can do to keep them away for good? I love my phone but this is driving me crazy!!!

Thank you! Awesome fix. I've had this problem with several WinMo phones from time to time, usually after receiving several automated texts, and always had to hard reset the phone to fix the problem, which in this case, with the Tilt2, would have been a major hassle getting it just the way I like it again.
I changed my settings to the default UI and then ran the exe file, then switched back to TouchFlo 3D, but the count was still wrong, so I performed the soft reboot like you suggested and again, it was still there, so I just ran the zip file again and it was gone with out another reboot.
Thanks again.
=)
works great thx a bunch

Unread text in message fix
and easy fix for this Is safe inbox extender it gives you the option to mark all messages as read something the original option fails to do so download it and no more hard resets
Laters
thank god it freakin worked! ive had to deal with this for months now!
the first time i ran it, it said it had taken out the message on the scan so i exited the scan and did a soft reset, and it didnt work. so then i ran the scan again and this time did the reset before exiting the scan, and that worked like a charm. so if your havin issues with it try that. thank you again so much for that, im glad someone finally figured this issue out

go to tools, then file explorer and find the file, select it then press the menu button, one of your selections should say "extract" (select it), then youll get a screen askin where you want to save it, just to make it easier on yourself save it to your storage card, once this is done go through your program files again and you should see 2 files with "fixunreadcount" (one is the folder logo which you just extracted from, the other is a little window logo thing which is the actual file), select the file with the window thing and it will then run the scan, after that press the reset button on the side of your phone. if it doesnt work the first time (it didnt for me), run the scan again and reset again and it should work
It thinks I have a new text. I even deleted every text chain. Multiple resets. Ever happen to anyone else?
Stock Rom.
Yeah thats happend to me on my TouchFlo3D. Its a really weird bug. I think that it happens if u delete a message chain that still has a new message in it. Theres no way to fix it other than a hard reset cuz i went for about a month waiting for it to correct itself but it didnt so i had to hard reset. My best advice is to make sure u dont have any unread messages when u delete them
This happened to me recently i found an .exe app that corrects it for you. I don't have it here at work but i know its somewhere in this forum.
If you still can find it, message me and i'll email you the file when i get home.
No Hard Reset Needed....I understand your frustration LOL TRUST ME.
FOUND IT
here you go
It shows I have two new messages always for me too.
I just tired that file you posted because I have the same bug and when I run it, it says it found the the "new" SMS and fixes but it still shows up on the touchflo 3d.
When I run the app again, it shows no errors. However when I reboot the phone and run the app it shows the new SMS and fixes it, but it still showing up. fml.
I'm using the tilt 2 from at&t with wm 6.5.
EDIT: taking out the battery fixed it after using the app! Thanks!
ok so i downloaded the app but it wouldnt ipen on my computer. Now what do i do?
Hi
Got myself a new Desire... pre-loaded with Froyo!
I was trying to use the voice to text feature to type a message over wifi, but i keep getting the error - "unable to reach server".
I press the voice button on the keyboard, then its says 'speak now' and when i stop (the part where it is supposed to go online to recognize) it gives me the error- unable to reach server.
and obviously my wifi is working fine in all other apps.
Please HELP!! Can't tolerate this on a new phone ;-)
No one facing the same issue?? strange!!
i was also thinking of rooting my phone and putting a ROM in it which might solve the issue!! any suggestions on which ROM to use (as there are so many now) which might be as close as possible to stock ROM...
Hi, I am facing the same issue.....someone pls help
Hello guys,
Not really related to the sg2 specifically but i think thats ok
I have annoying notification poping up all the time (little popup on the screen, not notifications like sms or others.)
It says "unable to connect server" (word by word like that) and pops up pretty much all the time.
Is there a way to determine which app is causing it ? My phone is brand new (I installed Calkuin's EL29) and i didnt install weird app or anything, just the usual.
THanks!
First time I've seen this, but a quick search on the 'net hints this may be an issue either with the Email config or Exchange (if you're using) settings.
Hope this helps!
thanks I have exchange setup for my work... I guess I have no choice to keep having those ****ing popups...grrrr
hopefully ICS release soon is going to fix it...
There is no way to disable all notifications for all apps ?
