I just got my TP2 from tmobile yesterday, switched from the TP1, lovin it so far, awesome screen.
One problem tho, ever since later last night, I've constantly got a "1" on the bottom of my TF3D, indicating a new text message. Theres no new message, ive done everything..
-Restarted phone
-Deleted ALL messages(Drafts, Sent, etc..)
-Put different SIM in
The LAST thing i want to do is master reset it, because I have all my programs installed and OTA syncing set up just the way I want it.
When I'm in messages inbox, and I click the drop down box in the top left corner, theres a blue "(1)" next to Inbox, again indicating theres a new message, even if theres no messages at all in the inbox.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without master reseting??
I had the same problem. Unfortanutely I do not remember what keywords I used when I searched after the problem, but I found a program which solved it on my device. unzip, put the .exe on your device, execute it, softreset

you are a genius. thank you very much, worked perfectly.
I love you man...
Damn, I sure got big hopes about this one...
If i works in the long run i do love you forever and ever...
thx this was a lifesaver
t-design, where were you a few months ago when I needed an app like this?
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!!!

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
Hello all,
I downloaded a MMS and nothing showed up, next thing i know i have a -1 in the notification bar. Tried the FixUnreadCount.exe already, soft reset, PIM restore, and searched around only found people having problems with it being stuck at 1. I am running Energy Rom GTX May 16th.
Thanks!

Try unloading Sense and see if a message shows up in your inbox. Sometimes there is a welcome message from Microsoft that for whatever reason won't open in Sense, but will in Titanium. May/may not be the problem, but its worth a try.

Thanks, I did that, and even did a soft reset in Titanium no luck maybe there is just a tiny black hole in my inbox cause the inbox to implode?
Bump, if no one can help ill just reflash monday
flash away... could have just been an error in the rom you're running.
I have been having this issue for a while as well. I have to reflash about once a month.
Running stock ROM with Cookies home page editor.
I have noticed that in the registry that the second line is: Text SMS / SMS (1)
It used to be (0). I have tried editing the line. Even deleting it. but it keeps coming back to (1) on it's own.
I have tried deleting all SMS messages with the tools setting. it clears the notification until I get a new txt. Then it reads -2 until I read it. Then it reverts to -1.
I'm getting a little tired of having to flash my phone every month. Although I can completly reload everything in less than 20 mins now.
Touch pro 2 running WM 6.5, CE OS 5.2.21889
Any suggestions?
Ok so I had just received a text. Went to open from the notification bar and when I did it just took me to the message home screen saying "no conversations". I tried using Handcent to see if it was a glitch in default app but nothing there. Tried restarting and powering off phone. Nothing!
But what's weird is that there is no way in hell it could have actually deleted all those messages that fast (I had a 1500 message thread with one person alone). It's almost as if it just lost access to them.
Yes my phone is rooted and I believe I'm running one of the AOKP roms (been a while since I switched that's why I'm not completely positive)
Never had anything like this happen before, I know the messages have to be there somewhere, it's impossible for a phone this slow to just instantly delete over 2000-3000 messages.
Thanks for any help!

Dont quote me on it but i think text messages are stored in a database in the /data/data/com.android.messaging. I removed messaging from mine and use handcent so i cant really look. Just look for something in /data/data with messaging in the name.
I've had that happen on my original Droid a few times. I think it's caused by a low space thing, (which is extremely common on this device) and I've never found a way to get the texts back if they weren't backed up somewhere else. I agree with you that it's odd how quickly it can delete that many texts, though.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Cmlusco, Yea I checked /data/data and there was nothing there.
godsmacked, But shouldn't I have gotten a low space warning beforehand? My phone seemed fine at the time of doing this. But whatever, I had nothing important there that I needed.
But I still hate having lost all of them, maybe I'm just sentimental and liked having some of those convos. Especially since one was with a special girl (gay I know but whatever)
That happened to my friend who has an Inc as well. I don't see any way to get them back. SMS backup works I think or you can download go SMS to backup as well.

I can verify this happened to me several times using the stock OS. Never happened after I rooted/CM7'd it.
