Sent SMS keeps resending, can't delete!

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!

anyone have this text message problem? or know how to fix it? - latest sprint rom

i posted this on another forum, but no one could help me, im hoping maybe someone here can help..
i just upgraded with
RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.2_Radio_3.42.30 _AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
now, whenever i soft reset, i lose text messages. this only recently started happening. i had tons of messages in my inbox, had to soft reset.. only about 75 were left... texted some more, soft reset.. only those 75 were there. that was with a custom rom, so i just flashed with the exe above, and its doing the same thing.. i text myself my number and it came thru and i coulud see both in the message window, but soft reset and they were gone.. texted the word 'yeah', soft reset, it was there.. so i thought it was fixed, but text again, soft reset, only the 'yeah' text was there.. so now thats what it keeps defaulting to when i soft reset.. why is this doing this??

What carrier do you have, that PPST is for Sprint only.

yeah i have sprint

I have the Sprint Touch with the newest rom you listed, and I definitely do not have that issue.
I have approx. 400 texts that I backed up and imported when I initially did the rom upgrade. Since then I have soft reset a few times and haven't seen any texts deleted. Now that they are threaded, to see the really old messages, I have to select Older.. Older.. etc but they all show up eventually.

OMG i thought i was the only one too!! i have this issue and it is really annoying. I dont know why my messages disappears and get deleted either.
i somewhat wish i didnt do this upgrade.

I have the new rom. (errr not the one that just came out today.)
Whenever I soft reset my phone any text messages I get within I dunno half hour hour don't appear when my phone boots back up.
If I have any email in my inbox that I've recently changed from unread to read revert back to an unread status as well.

for now, i've disabled the threaded SMS option and it seems to at least limit the messages deleted.
SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 0

I have had this problem on several ROMs... If you soft-reset after getting a message, or sending one, you will lose it... depending on how long you wait...
Solution: Wait about an hour before soft-resetting after using any messaging... you will even lose emails... pretty nasty..

Another threaded SMS problem...
On my Touch/Vogue, I recently upgraded with the "official" Sprint WM6.1 ROM. I believe I've hit a solid bug... In the threaded SMS page, Menu>Tools>Clear "Text Messages" is used to delete all SMS. In this new ROM, the colored wheel appears but then never clears the screen -- it just sits there. Luckily nothing really bad happens, and it appears that the clear function actually works (all SMS seem to be deleted), but its just that the screen never updates. The original 6.0 ROM doesn't have this problem (but of course isn't threaded)...

Depending on how many messages you have, this can take A VERY LONG TIME...
it takes about 1-3 seconds per message... sometimes

Same issue here with dcd's newest ROMs. Almost like a human concussion. If the messages are relatively new (short term memory), they get erased after a soft reset. If they've been there for a while (long term memory), they remain after the reset.

Im having text messages arrive 10mins to 1hour late

this also happens to me. extremely annoying. props to anyone who can fix it.

i ditto that. i too have the same issue with the new ROM. really annoying.

I have found that if i close the messaging app and wait a minute or two i can soft reset and keep my messages.

Yes it is. The reason i mentioned closing the app before soft reset is because that will enable you to NOT lose any new messages that come in.
It was mentioned to wait up to an hour, that is not practical most of the time and is unnecessary if you close the app first and wait a minute before reset.

You're wrong. Closing the app does not prevent messages from being erased. You still have to wait.

I am having the same problem and it is VERY ANNOYING and I have lost important data!!! I lose both email and SMS. Does the official, non leaked version have this problem?

yes, the all do have this problem.

TP2 showing phantom notication SMS inbox

Just started last night, my TP2 is showing 1 sms notification on TouchFlo3D and on the inbox folder. I have used Clear "Text/Multimedia" a billion times and also checked in another phone to make sure nothing is hiding on the SIM. Does anyone make a suggestion other than doing a master clear/reset phone?

Funny, I just solved this problem today and unfortunately, I had to do a hard reset (still backed up everything with with Sprie Backup thou.)
Well, you do have another option that didn't seem to work for me but it's worth a try, is to Regedit it. The location is HKEY_Current_User\system\state\Messages\sms\Unread and set the Count=0
When I tried, it would work, but as soon as I was to get another message, it jump back up to "2".
Good luck, Hope it works so you don't have to Hard Reset.

I will try, thanks for the tip

or this
find a program called fixedthreadcount and you just have to do a soft reset after running it.

Hello,
I attempted to post earlier but it did not seem to work, so go to this link it should fix your problems:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-i700/23911-1-unread-sms-count.html
Simply download the zip file, copy the exe file to your SD card, run it, and do a soft reset. Hope this helps...

Ok, so forget the link, simply download the attached file.

awesome, thanks a million for the prog. i tried the regedit 1st with no permanent fix, but the prog fixed it.

it worked. 2nd time i had this problem, first time i had to do a hard reset. thanks for the program!

Just had the same issue with my phone wouldnt delete a phantom message and the program worked great, thanks ARHMogul, appreciate it bruh

Man, I am just having no luck with this - mine is showing "2" unread - I have deleted all msgs - done a reg edit to "0" and I have done the fixunreadcount with a soft reset. What else can I try ??

@jurgy1, I just ran the attached exe and a soft reset but the unread bubble was still there. Ran the exe again and it disappeared.
@ARHMogul, thanks a ton! I'd hate doing a hard reset for such a small problem yet I'm sure I would've done just that if not for your help.

TY! worked for me......... even after doing a soft reset I "thought" it wasn't going to work, but I also had to click on the icon to get the 1 to go away.

fixunreadcount.exe worked like a champ. Ran the program, soft reset, opened the sms inbox and the (1) count was gone. Returned to the TouchFlo home page and touched the SMS bubble and the offending number vanished. Nice. Many thanks.

Just wanted to say thank you. I've search on xda and ppcgeeks for a bit now and didn't find this post until today. Sometimes the wording really matters when finding threads.
This solved my problem and I thank you. Little things like that bug me and I didn't want to have to hard reset the phone.
Thanks again, I'll be saving this little guy.

Verison TP2 and Resetting the SMS Icon to 0 - Forever
Has anyone tried this on Verizon TP2 and if so, does this program work good enough so when you get the next message, it doesn't re-appear. Mine started when I got a two part message from an T-Mobile customer that spread it over two messages. I read the first one, but the second one had already disappeared so it says 1. I reg hacked the counter back to zero, then the next message (even if it is not multimessage) goes back to 1 of course, but does not reset after reading it. It will go up to 2 and 3 and so on but after reading it, it never goes back to 0 without me going to a PMedit and resetting the counter to 0. The question is, does this fix count stop this from happening in the future, or just solve the problem now. If it just solves the problem now, I can PMedit it each time as easily. If it solves the problem forever, I am eternally greatful. Any thoughts? BTW, this only started happening when I got the multi message and it hasn't gone away since.
Thanks.. Rick

Thank you so much. This worked for me. I didn't want to hard reset. Anyone know what causes this?

Just a reminder - after you run the program and perform the reset you have to OPEN THE INBOX for it to "refresh". I was dismayed to notice it was still there after the reset, but after opening the inbox it cleared right out. I noticed this was a problem before on my original tilt, and am glad to finally have a solution!!

YOU ARE DA MAN!!! I called HTC and the lady told me the only way was to do a hard reset. I told her if i was about to do a hard reset because of their crappy software, then I should at least get a new damn phone out of it....
Thank you so much! Great work!

Excellent piece of software
fixunreadcount.exe works exactly as described in this thread. Thanks very much indeed.

fixunreadcount.zip is the best thing I've found!!! I tried to solve it whole weekend on my Touch Pro 2, but only this app works correctly. Editing registry was useless and other tools too. Thanks a lot for that small useful app

[Q] Windows Threaded Messaging App CONSTANTLY FREEZES?!

Hello, I could not find any help anywhere online for this topic so I am going to see if any wizards here have a tip.
I Use a LG IQ on the Telus network, and I got sick of using the LG messaging application extremely quickly. I then found you could alter the registry on my phone, to use the windows threaded messaging instead. Of course I right away tried this and I love it. However one problem I CONSTANTLY, ALL THE TIME FACE, is when I leave a thread, by hitting the back button to say go to another thread, the phone freezes and starts completely messing up. I tried a hard reset, then only re-enabling the threaded sms tweak, yet still, always freezes. The only way I can get around this is to end the messaging app, and go to my notifications and open the next text then reply. I have tried many other applications that worked out but costed money, I shouldn't have to deal with that crap
I would really appreciate some help, or maybe a good sms app or replacement or ANYTHING to help. Thank you all very much.

[Q] I can't get rid of the stock messenger notif..please help

I can't get the damn stock android messenger to stop placing notifications on the taskbar. I've tried unchecking the notification box, force closing, reset to defualt and unchecking again.
I've using handcent. How get rid of the damn thing? I can disable the messenger with pm disable....messenger.. Would that fix the problem?
It was working fine then i did a factory reset and it all went to hell after that.

Going into the stock messager. Disabling notifications. Didn't work??
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

Nope, I unchecked it and i still get notifications. I'm debating on disabling the program cuz I've raed in other forums that its had to run for handsent to work.

Let me know if it works bro.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

I had the problem too where I got two notifications even though I use the stock messaging app. If I click on the first it opens the message as normal, and if I clicked on the second one it would go to all the threads, but that notification stays in the status bar. It was driving me crazy, then I clicked the "clear notifications button". It kept on popping up afterwards and I kept on clearing it, but it doesn't happen anymore.
What did I do to make it stop? No fraking idea.

The factory reset worked. Even though I wanted to avoid going that route.
