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.
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
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
I can't figure this out. I have gone as far as deleting all my text messages, but my inbox is still showing (1)? Does anyone know how to clear this I have tried to clear "messages"?
I am running stock ROM on ATT Tilt2.
there's a cab on the forum for it

Thanks, that worked... but I had to reboot after to remove count from TF3D. All is well. Learned in my search that it comes from a split message being read without going out of threaded message. hmmm I did get a split message. Wish I hadn't erased all my text messages though.
yeah, the count that shows in TF3D is related to data in the registry, so a soft reboot is always needed to clear it out. I keep that file on my SD card just in case it happens again. But it has only happened to me once on this phone and once on my hermes.
w00t post 100 Senior Member. Not bad seeing as I have been here since Oct, 2005 when I got my Blue Angel LOL
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...
