Problem with the SMS counter in Touchflo - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

So I have a Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile and for some reason when I responded to a text message the phone sent the responce to the person texting me as well as to myself. Now the counter on the touchflo bar shows 1 message even afer ALL messages are deleted off the phone. I know I can Hard Reset my device to fix this which I have done twice now. I am trying to find a way to fix this without having to hard reset my phone for a 3rd time. I did a search on google and found one other person with this same problem and could not find a way to fix it. I could not find any posts here about this. If there isa post please point me in thta direction. If not if anyone can figure this out please help.
Nevermind I found a program to reset the smscounter in the blackstone fourm that fixed the problems

Its really not that big of an issue for a hard reset to be needed. When U get a text you do 1 of 2 things one you go to the messages tab and leave it there the touchflo count should reset if not click the message tab again and it should reset, eventually resets within seconds or 2 click on the message in touchflo and it will open up the log of messages received and reset the counter instantly when you go back THAT SIMPLE

yes it is a big deal I too have had to master reset my phone 3 times due to the counter saying i have a new msg when i dont...I shouldnt have to keep setting my phone to factory default and if people are asking questions it obviously because it is not a simple fix...lol stupid counter gets me mad!

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

Help..Text message Inbox says I always Have "1 Unread" and wont go away

After messaging last night I realized I had one text in my inbox in both the touchflo icon, and in the normal windows message centert (next to inbox on the drop down it says 1). I thought I just missed one in my long thread but it was not the case.
I deleted all messages from my inbox, outbox and cleared deleted messages. No luck. I tried using the "clear all text and multimedia" selection with no luck. Numerous soft resets, and even switching my theme to see if it would vanish. I have been texting all day, and deleting and no luck with the phantom inbox. Any help would be appriciated to rid of this problem. Thanks!

This issue has been discussed in length here in other threads. Use the search function in the top right of the page to look for "SMS unread count fix"
Unzip this and put it on your storage card and then run the exe. It will fix your problem.
Thanks It worked perfectly. And sorry for the repetitiveness never found a solution searching, only numerous folks with the same problem.
Thanks again to you both!
This worked great!! Thanks!!!!
wow, it works on my x1
worked for me as well, although the problem came back... again... i managed to fix it permanentally by switching the phone from threaded to classic text view, deleting ALL text messages, then running the program. issue resolved.. it seems to have occurred because of the 2016 date stamp issue, one text was unaccounted for and coincidentally had the 2016 year stamp on it.
Hope this helps future readers - Mark
Hey guys,
I've run this thing about 10 times, and it's simply not removing that 1 from my homepage. The inbox doesn't show it but the HTC homepage does.
Any ideas?

It happens when you somehow texted yourself.. or so the theory goes... if that's not working I would suggest a hard reset..
I also suggest this thread be locked as this is the 100th or more thread about this topic
Edit.... also did you try soft reseting your phone after you ran the program?
I did try soft resetting. I used the reset button on the side of the phone. I don't understand it. I've never texted myself as you mentioned. So, I don't understand. And hard resetting is simply not an option. I have too much set on this phone now to go and update everything.
I'm using DeepShining's ROM from around February.
Hey, thanks !
It worked GREAT on my HTC Touch Pro !!!
Thank you again...

Tilt 2 Sense New Text Indicator Stuck at 1

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?

Major TP2 Woes

Hello all,
I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post this,
but i'm just so frustrated right now and I can't find anywhere else.
So I got my Touch Pro 2 about 6 or 7 months ago. It worked perfectly
for the first few weeks. Then every now and then when I went in and
out of messages a little to often it would brick and I would be forced to
reset it. It kept getting worse. I have to use the quick message (type contact
every time) because i'm afraid going into the threaded message view will brick the phone. The reset count is getting ridiculous. Today alone I have had to reset it four times.
I've noticed in the past month it has been lacking facebook compatibility and
me trying to figure out why has resulted in it bricking many times.
First of all, when i first got the phone i linked all my friends' profiles and set up their profile pictures. But when i added new contacts I couldn't add their facebook account. And I haven't been able to update pictures from friends
that are already connected. So today i decided to hit the logout button on
Data connections. It logged me out and then i logged back in to find most
of the connection between people and facebook entirely gone and all of the profile pictures gone.
All in all it's just plain ridiculous that I can't A - message properly or B - use the facebook compatibility, both of which are things that should just work and not brick my phone. I really hope there is some setting or registry value I can tweak to make it all better. But i realise that is naive so i won't get my hopes up.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Realistically the only real fix for that is to just back it all up and do a hard reset (wiping it back to the default configuration). It'll be back to how it was when you got it.
Alternatively you may wish to install a HardSPL and flash a new (better?) ROM instead, but that's up to you. Either way it'll require a hard reset though.
first go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
then pick from one of the roms posted. see which one you prefer. i use energy cookie. ive heard great things about its facebook and twitter apps. messaging itself is on point as well.
heres a link to some roms
