..try deleting your DELETED sms.. I, on the other hand, can't receive any MMS..

mmmm
ok I'll try, only got like 3 but ok. did u put all the right settings ??

have had this last days for first time, too... in Czech Rebublic where I was in holiday... here in germany nothing about this problem. Have had also problems with sending SMS. They where first in the outbox, after some automatically retries a message appears that it could not be sent, then the SMS was shifted to the drafts... after a restart all SMS were sent immediately!
I think it is a problem of our self cooked ROMs... like so much other problems too...

ok..
guess gona change rom, any suggestions? I am using the V4 ultimate DXHE1 rom, which is supposed to be the good one. the other case is my carrier..

I have HK3, the only problem so far - the COMMA on the HW keyboard is mapped to "ä" .. otherwise, it works nice. HK1 has a nice theme from Orange, but I prefer newer SW

Text messaging driving me CRAZY

ok, i just got this phone yesterday, and its AWESOME. Just one minor but VERY annoying problem tho, whenever i send out text messages, it will be displayed in the correct time, but whenever i recieve text messages, it will be 4 hours before the actual time... It seems its been set to a different time zone or something... Anyways, does anyone know how to fix that?..
Thanks.
oh and is there anyway i can find out which rom/country my phone is currently using? I bought it unlocked from a local chinese retailer, and supposedly they get all their stuff from hongkong, is there anyway to check?

anyone? bump

it depends where is the person which sends you the sms, as a matter of fact if the person is in paris ou you are in London, then the message will be displayed with GMT -1

I had the same issue, I apply the summer time fix followed by the df_timestamp_fix.cab I attached. (Thanks to the author, it's floating in the forums if you search for sms timestamp or something along those lines if your curious to know what the cab does)
I am not sure the summer time is needed but it work for me.
The issue is with a "Trust time zone" Reg key. From what I understand, your provider applies the GMT -4 and your phone do it a second time, hence the time difference.
Hope this work as well as on my phone

wow if i was anywhere near u i would go over and kiss u, thanks a lot man! I didn't know the correct term for it was "timestamp" and i been searching all over the forum and came up with nothing. Thanks again! gonna go try it now

the unfixable unread count is even worse.
at the moment i have 8 unread SMS messages i cannot make go away. even when i use a CAB to handle this things go back to the way they were after the next text comes in.

I haven't had that problem at all and I do alot of texting! Sometimes it'll have a 1 by it when I though I read all my messages but I really didn't.
Did you try disabling touchflo from today screen in settings rebooting and then re-enabling it?

This is annoying, I use to have it on stock rom with my TP1, the genius cook made some work around work so I haven`t been bothered since...

I only had that prob once on my TyTn2... or was it my Prophet...? Anyway, try this file. It worked for me before.

Not working.... Just tried it.

this was exactly what i was looking for.
thanks SO MUCH.
EDIT: doesnt work.

Try this
Start/Settings/Text Messaging Change to Classic and X out.
Go into your text messages and you will probably find the culprit in bold. Once you open it, that should reset the counter. Go back and switch to threaded.

First, make sure local time setting is correct (as above posts)
If still persist, try reghack; open phm regedit or resco or else, navigate to HKCU/System/State/sms/Unread, change the Count value to 0. Exit regedit, press power button to suspend your device, wait 5 secs, then softreset. Please try and feedback.

The timestamp_fix.cab did not work for me. The MTS_RecvTimeStamp.cab did the trick.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=159852&d=1235328543

This didn't work either for me.
I noticed if HTC Messeging is installed, the cabs will work, if its not, they wont work.
But HTC msging is slow.
anyone with a solution for the timestamp issue?

picture messaging with v15

I've had this problem in both v13 and v15 (skipped v14):
when receiving picture messages the picture comes in very tiny, I've installed the mms cab provided by nfsfan and followed his instructions. mms comes in with no problem its just the pictures are tiny, cant really see anything...
*edit* im on verizon...cant believe i 4got to put that :\

I've never gotten pic message to work with any rom. I'm on sprint, it keeps telling me to go to a website to view pics. That sucks.

Same thing here.

ON mine they are like really little thumbnails. If I click on them they blow up really big.

when i get a picture message (im using threaded text messages) it pops up in the normal chat window as a little picture icon to click, when i click on it it pops up and the picture that was sent is very small...i never had any trouble getting pictures on the stock rom and i love nfs's 6.5 roms but i also like getting picture messages :\

I've been with Sprint for 6 years, no matter what phone, I have always had to get on the internet to view it.

lucky you, i cant even get the pictures to come in small... how everyone has it working with no problem blows me away, i follow every step... the GPS i got working NO PROBLEM.. but something easy as this simply won't work..
ill never understand bull**** technology, im ready to go back to the dial phones plugged into the wall

yeah it gets kind of annoying from time to time but someone will eventually answer the question. hopefully soon :\

I have Verizon and I have followed these steps every time, without incident. I would suggest flashing a couple more times. I had some problems at first with V15, it took me 4 flashes to get everything working correctly. Also try the .cab in the post linked below as a known working alternative to NFSFAN's VZW Arcsoft.

Are you doing each soft reset in the directions?
MMS
1. Go to connection settings and select "Manage existing connections"
2. edit the only connection there
3. Name it whatever you want ie "vzw"
4. hit next and enter #777 as the number
5. hit next and put "[email protected]"
and "vzw" as the password
6. hit finish
7. install the attached arcsoft cab
8. do a soft reset.
9. open phmregedit in the start menu
10. navigate to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcsoftMMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\X-VzW-MDN
and put your 10 digit phone number for the value
11. wait a min or two and do a soft reset
12. go into messaging select menu and then mms options
13. select the server tab
14. select verizon wireless and change connect via to "the internet",
the other settings should be correct.
15. wait a few min and perform a soft reset once more
16. now mms should work!!!

I just did the MMS setup for the first time on V15 and sent myself a pix msg with no problems I even saved it and it was the same sized 2mpx image that I sent.

i was all sorts of mad this morning LOL.. i think my pics messages was working, it just wasnt **** but a accidental send and i got all beyond myself gettin mad haha
anyways now i ****ed myself another way, walkin out when i put the stock rom back and customizations ran, now i cant call/receive calls..

When you flash to or away from the stock ROM you have to call Verizon and get your phone reactivated. Some times you can just call *228 and that will work, other times you have to talk with tech support= *611. Just tell them you downloaded the new update ROM and play stupid about anything else.

yeah i had to do this in the past, just didnt wanna have to call them ahha i forgot sometimes the *228 works too so ima try that just got out work

Twice now in the last 2 weeks I've gotten a txt from Verizon telling me to call *228 and use option 2(updating roaming capabilities). You should do that too I suppose.

okay, unfortunately none of that worked for me so i guess its back to stock :'( agh well... thanks for the help anyway!

Unread text message notification will not go away.

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!!!

NeoDMD
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

Telstra Pocketnews

Hey guys, i really want to flash a new rom, but i really use telstra's pocketnews a lot.
If i flash a new rom, chow can i put pocket news back on without reflashing a telstra rom?

You don't need to install anything to get Telstra's Pocket News. Just go the to the Pocket News web site and follow the setup instructions.
http://es.telstra.com/PocketNews/alerts_def.jsp
You just have to send an sms to sign up for the alerts - that is all the Pocket News program does anyway.
sms to 176
ON.NEW.GEN for general news
ON.NEW.SPO for general sport etc
The other codes are on the website.
Mind you it seems like a scam to me... try to work out how to stop the alerts... good luck!

so let me get this right, on my phone before the flash, i just went telstra tab/ pocketnews/ afl/bombers.
when i send the sms to 176 on.afl.bom it says invalid code. Any help would be great.

OH... just had a thought... it is probably already on, as it is related to your phone number not your phone operating system.
... and it stays on till you work out how to turn it off.
