I have the read others thread about the touchflo counter being off but my problem a a bit different. Along with that issue the touchflo counter,the counter within the text app itself is not resetting. In the past with my wing if I replied to someone the new text notifcation goes away but not with my tmobile tp2. Instead it registers their messages & my replies as unread. If I exit out of the app & go back to our "conversation" it doesnt take to the newest one from me/them but to the older part of the convo.
Edit: Only work possible work around seems to be going unthreaded or a text app such as etreme text. I havent found any real aternative text app. Ive tried different version of the arcsoft txt cabs but same results which leads to to believe its a winmo issue.
go to the conversation that shows unread messages & then scroll through all the texts with the arrows on the keyboard. look for the bolded messages, they are the unread ones. once you select them with the arrow keys they'll register as read.
i hate this issue too. if you have the damn threaded message open & are replying the the messages, it should just mark them as read.
god I hate this so much!!! I keep all my texts... often they contain information I need. But like this its pretty inconvenient. There's got to be some kind of reg mod to fix this thing...
Ok this is probably the dumbest question i've asked, and probably has the simplest answer, that i just couldn't find in the text messaging controls.
When i'm txting with my friends all of my messages go to the top of the list, and theirs all go to the bottom as if they were organized by user not date and time stamp.
Is anyone else out there having this issue or know of a solution to it?
Here's what it looks like:
My message 1
My message 2
My message 3
My message 4

I'm running a Telus WM6.1 HTC TP2 and I have no real mods on it currently as I just wiped it.
maybe try disabling threaded messages, soft reset, enable, soft reset and see if that re-orders them.
Also check if the time stamp is correct, sometimes the network is messed up and will incorrectly stamp the messages causing them to be at the bottom and newer msgs go before them instead.
I ahd one msg that was stamped that it sent in the year 2030! and every time i restore my messages it was always on the bottom.
Hello
So I have experienced my first "bug" with my GN (or maybe it's ICS?)
I was browsing in chrome when I noticed at the bottom it said "message received" in an overlay. As you do when you get a message while using the phone.
What didn't happen was it didn't scroll through the message at the top of the screen in the status bar. I thought it was a bit weird. So I opened my messages and nothing new was there. It didnt make any sound either, so I thought I was crazy and moved on.
As I was having a conversation with my partner at the time, she messaged me a few mins later wondering what my response was and I told her I didn't receive anything at all.
This is quite concerning. The phone most definitely recognised I got a message but it didn't show up. She said she sent 2 messages. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
We're both on the same network if its even possible this could be a carrier issue.
The "message received by <phone number>" toast message at the bottom of the screen is the other party receiving one of your messages. You turn this on in Messaging > Settings > Delivery reports. This will show next to the time stamp of every sent message in a thread the SMS icon with a green check mark over it whenever the message is confirmed to be received by the other party
You not receiving messages is a different issue. Try installing something like "Ghostly SMS" to see if your phone is losing SMS messages. I haven't heard of this as an issue in ICS yet.
Hi there,
I've got an Unread Message notification but I've got no unread messages in my Inbox and nothing pending etc...
I'm at a loss as to how I can remove it. I've tried marking all of my messages as 'Read' but it's still there, my inbox states it's holding 30 messages but I've only got 29 in there.
Thanks all,
T-L-H
Do you still see this error? If so, where does it say you have 30 and which page shows 29?
Here's a screen shot, showing it states I've got 31 messages saved etc but only 30 in my inbox...

I like the badge count feature, a great improvement from android 7.x, but on my s9 the count is not representative of the actual number of unread messages and emails I have- for example, when I get a new text message, the badge count usually says 3, and 3 or 4 unread emails gives me a badge count of between 35 and 45!
Has anyone else had this issue, or any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
with the new Android version, the badge count reflects not only NEW notifications but older, unread ones also. That may be the issue.
Thanks for the reply- not that though, I have zero unread messages but it always shows 3 as a badge when I get a new one.
I guess I am the only one with this issue, so maybe a wipe and rebuild is in order
I have same problem on my S9+. Using textra, I have deleted all text messages and still when I get a new message, it shows 2 instead of 1. When using Signal app, the badge rarely if ever even shows any count. All other apps seem to be accurate.
Gmail randomly shows 999 for me..only sometimes
I have this issue, too. Currently ZERO unread messages, but when I get a new text, the counter says "5".
ive come from s7 edge with touchwiz from s8 installed previously and badges there worked as intended (unread count, not notification count).
when i recovered all apps and settings on my new s9 notifications worked the same as on the old phone (unread count). when i reset the device and recovered nothing but messages and contacts it started to act as for every1 (notification count).
Same goes for the samsung keyboard. for freshly set keyboard i dont seem to be able to enable swype typing, when i recover keyboard data from old phone recovery swype get "enabled" tho no option is present in settings
maby there is some hidden option to reenable unread badges again
Badge count incorrect
I've had the same problem with my new Galaxy S9. The badge icon will show 5 new messages, but there will only be 2 or it will show 2 new messages and there will only be 1. And, no there aren't any hidden unread messages. Hopefully, it will get corrected soon.
Same issue

I have the same issue. It started after Telstra sent notification of change to my MessageBank. Message received was
"Your mobile is now Telstra Messaging capable. Your Telstra MessageBank voice mail will now be delivered to the RCS messaging inbox on your device. This feature requires your device to have the latest Android updates. For more information, including control of this feature browse Telstra. com/rcs"
That message was also sent as an audio (MMS)
Then the problems started.
The Message badge shows incorrect numbers - if I have one voicemail it can show as 3 or 4. It shows as 2 or 3 if it is a text message. If I press the Message badge it then shows 2 bubbles. The first grey bubble will say 101 Message Bank - the second white bubble is an audio MMS which can only be played with speaker on.
I have spoken with 8 people in Telstra, and they are still trying to fix. Have tried switching off the Rich Communications in Chat Settings. Have sent AUDIO OFF to 144 as per Telstra website.
The Audio messages are now stopped but badge still shows incorrect numbers and message now says
"You have received a new voicemail, please call 101."
I then have to go back to keypad and dial 101.
Previously I never dialled 101 just pressed the bubble and it took me directly to voicemail. As of 30 mins ago - Telstra still trying to find out what has changed.
If they figure it out I will post the instructions!
Also having this problem, though only noticed it after updating to Android P. For the record, I found a few suggestions online about wiping the data/cache for the app "BadgeProvider" and rebooting, but that hasn't helped.

I think I found a fix for SMS. It's annoying though, and might not be universal.
I'm using the stock android messaging app for texts instead of the Samsung one, so badge I'm seeing is over the stock messaging app. In that app is a menu item to "mark all read" which I've used a few times. But while there's no badge after, I can get one message and have a badge that says I have three.
Here's the deal: the Samsung messaging app, even if it isn't the default SMS app, has its own unread count and hides it.
So, if you open the *Samsung* messages app (and say cancel when it asks if you want to set it as your default texting app) it'll load up with a tab on the bottom for Conversations. If you wait a minute, a blue badge will appear next to it with a number. Scroll down and look for a similar badge on different conversations on the right side, and open each one. When there's no badge next to conversations anymore, exit the app.
That *should* do it. I've now gotten a single text message and been given a badge that says 1.
That worked for me - thanks!

firstly, i believe theyre called "badge" notifications
so, to make sure i understand, youre getting notifications for other stuff up in the top bar where the time, battery level and signal icons are located, correct? And youre wanting your text message badge notifications to show there as well?
Sorry for the mistakes,
I'm talking about badge on the app icon that either count notifications or unread messages.
In galaxy s9+ it counts notifications. Please guide if I can enable that for unread count i.e., the unread messages in whatsapp, gmail, twitter, etc.
Please let me know if need more charity. Happy to answer.
Thanks!
