Hey guys,
I've been using this forum for quite a while, and have always been able to find answers for my questions here (which is why I have never posted), until now.
I have a Touch Pro 2 that is T-Mobile branded, but unlocked, and being used on AT&T. I have the phone exactly the way I want it, but I am having a very annoying SMS problem.
When I receive a new message, I open it up and reply, but the original message is never marked as read. A whole conversation can take place, and when I close it, it will say I have a ton of unread messages, even though they were all read. The only way to mark them as read is to either select each individual message with the keyboard, or delete the whole conversation.
Is there any way to fix this so they are automatically marked as read like my Kaiser did? The Kaiser always marked them as read when I closed the conversation or replied. The TP2 won't...
This is very annoying. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for our reply. I tried as you said, but unfortunately it didn't work... I have searched this, and other forums, and have found people with the same problem, but no solution anywhere as far as I can tell.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Same problem here, has the app fixed this for anyone?

Try a soft reset. I do know in the fuze this was a problem, I havent had this issue with my TP2 (aka Tilt from ATT running the EU stock rom). But normally if you hit menu then reply, it should automatically check it as read, now sometimes thru the WinMO sms app when your in the conversation has a tendency of kepping the persons sms in bold and when you exit it wont detect it as read, the only solution I found which became a habit was to tap the bold convo which then made it read.
But that cab I attached try a soft reset, it did cure alot of my problems of unread msgs building up.

When I install the Palm Threader SMS application everyone gets 5-6 copies of the same message from me over several days. Restore from backup so its not installed and the problem goes away. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to solve it?
I am always open to new threader applications. SMS Threader, a freeware application, just doesn't quite cut it for several reasons.
It's a known issue. No fix for it... I had to uninstall it.

I too had the same problem and ended up uninstalling it. Love the premise but .............. SMS threader was notgood for me either.
I've been using it for some time with no problems...at least none that anyone's told me about. I've texted myself and it only goes through once...
Palm certainly got it right with the threaded SMS and MMS.. why hasn't somebody come up with a decent solution for WM? MADNESS!

It doesn't happen all the time. But when it does your textees will let you know. Sometimes it happens hours later.
anyone else notice that it takes away the email autofill when installed? that was the only issue i had with it. like no when i go to type an email address i just have to type one letter and the autofill will pop up. when i had that installed it wouldnt pop up any more

Text Man , O2 SMS Plus
I have been using the palm one for ages. Well at least a month on WM6 and not once has anyone ever told me about multiple texts. Also i have installed it on loads of other WM6 phones and then we do the classic text each other just to make sure it is all working. Not once have these ever duplicated. I am sure if it was a problem then i would have noticed by now.
Weird
I am using it for few months now no issue...
the only problem is it do not work with jeyo any more so i loose all my SMS when i upgrade the ROM... any solution..
You can backup your messages by closing the palm app down and copying the file PalmMsgV001 from the windows directory.

I have used it on WM5 and WM6. I have never had the same complaint when using the standard text messaging application. The fact that is happens to some and not others is just how it goes I guess.
weird though because i have not seen a prob ever on any of my phones. Not on my hermes with any of the LVSW roms, or Black 2.5 or on my universal with WM6.
I wonder whether there are dif versions of the palm app floating around.

You may be onto something there.
Is their a build number anywhere in the Palm App?
Also, there must be an official WM6 version somewhere. Isnt there going to be a WM6 ROM in a month or so?
The most common problem of duplicated texts from the threaded app is from closing the program after you send it... im not talking minimizing it, im talking actually closing it, like with HTC X button or magic button, etc... and this isnt actually a problem with the threaded app, this is a problem with WM period.. If you close the app before the sms fully sends then the app tries again, and again, etc.. now there may be other issues, but this is the most common.

Hello,
first of all, i want to thank you all for awesome community here at XDA-Developers. This forum has been a huge help to me, while searching solutions of any kind of problems concerning my HTC, or just wanting to have some updates. So thank you very much!
To the topic:
I upgraded today to WM6.1 from HTC online. Everything went well and i faced no problems with installing, but now after 5 hours of use, i faced a first bug/problem.
on WM6.1 there's this fancy way of seeing the SMS sender/message history when opening a received SMS. It is possible to answer to the SMS directly from here just to type your message to the same screen and pressing "send". This is very handy, when changing more than a couple of messages with the receiver. Man can always check easily, what the content of the latest message, or a few ones before that really was.
however, this text "form" where to type has suddenly decreased it's size, so that it is not possible to write more that one line to the reply (which is somewhat around 50 digits).. or actually, it is possible to write more, but there's no use, since all you can preview of your text, is this one line..
There is one "fast solution" for this, a reboot and the problem is gone.. however, this is really aggravating and i was wondering, if anyone has a solution for this..?
Experiences? Any help?
-kmn
EDIT: Mod, feel free to move, if you experience this more of a General -kinda discussion.
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Any suggestions how to solve that?
I also noticed that predictive text is not working anymore.
Thanks

Try this [SOLUTION] Thread SMS Input Space you can also disable threaded mode and go back to the old way of using SMS by disabling the feature Disable SMS Text Message Threading or Conversation Mode in Windows Mobile 6.1

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?

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?

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

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
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...
