VoiceMail Notification

I've got a Dash running WM6.
It always shows that I've got 1 voice mail message. If I have 5, it shows 1. If my voice mail box is empty, it shows 1.
Does anyone know what controls this? Is it a registry key? If so, can you tell me which one?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, did you found the solution for this, I have the same problem with my Excalibur with Ricky's 6.1 ROM

Thats weird, try to restart the phone. Also, what network are you guys running on your phones?

I had the same problem here, but it was after I had installed on of the many weather programs here.
It was getting on my nerves so bad i reflashed and it still showed up.
Eventually, I called myself, left a message, and promptly went in and deleted it... Then it was fixed.
Who knows.

That is weird that you had to do that. I also had to reflash my phone because of so many weather applications that my whole phone got screwed up badly.

Same thing here, go to HKCU\System\State\Messages\Vmail\Total\Unread and check the count, if it has a count then set it to 0.

Hi showaco,
Thanks for the tip, this just remove the icon on the top but on the panel still shows the new voicemail notification.

I had the same thing and that worked to fix it. I think i figured out that if you check your voicemail and then lose signal before your phone gets the response from your voicemail to dismiss voicemail notification, it will stay until you get another voicemail and keep signal after you disconnect. Who knows though.

Anyone has found the solution for this problem?
I have the same problem in my Samsung i637 with WM6.5

Text messaging driving me CRAZY

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?

Unread text message notification will not go away.

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

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

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...

[Q] Keeps asking to link contact info

Hey,..
You know the icon you get in your notification bar when the phone found a link between facebook contacts and phone contacts and whatsapp contacts ect.,
Then you click link it or dismiss.
I like this and works well.
but the last couple of day its been failing and annoying me.
there are 4 contacts its keep asking me to link.
over and over again.
doesnt matter if i link or dismiss.
i went tot the user in my phone list and linked them, seems to be good.
and then some time later it asks me again..
everytime the same 4.
Anyone else have this or know what this might be?
Its really really really annoying!
Thanx m8's!

On my phone I notice it appears briefly then goes away again a second later, like it's loading the info. It's never really bothered me though.
Have you tried deleting the 4 contacts and then adding them again?

I had the same problem for weeks...I had o2 listed in my contacts with various numbers (customer services, top up, overseas cs etc etc)
bugged me so much as no matter what i did, dismiss or request link it would keep coming back listing the same contact multiple times...ended up deleting the contact and not replacing ...didnt happen again ..

same here... whatsapp repetatively notifies me of contact links although they are already linked and there - drives me nuts. what should I delete? the contact on the phone or the contact on whatsapp ??!?
