there are no undread texts in my sms list but my hermes still tells me that theres one unread text message, and the htc home plugin also shows as one unread text message, even when ive emptied my inbox it still says one unread, im using tnt 19199, does anyone else have this problem?
My friend also had this problem and I think it's not ROM specific problem because we were using same ROM! I really don't know how he solved that problem but when I found out I will let you know!
Quickest way out would be to backup your PPC files then hard reset the device.
Restore your data files and see if this cures the problem.
Cheers

ive done that twice, i also backed up my text messages, it works fine after i hard reset it but when i restore my text messages it comes back again!
viktorx im waiting for your solution
I had the same problem. There's a little app called FixUnreadCount.exe that you can use. Not sure how to post it here but I could email it to you if you PM me your email addy.
You guys should really learn how to use the advanced functions of Google... A quick search turned up this post in this forum...

FixUnreadCount does not fix problem
I am having this problem on my unread mail messages. I completely empty all mail folders and I still always show 1 unread message. Short of doing a hard reset, any idea what may fix this?

I have used this and still have one unread message?
Running AT&T Stock ROM on the Tilt II.
My annoyance is that, if I have a text conversation open, my phone does not make a sound or vibrate upon receipt of a new text message from that person. So if I leave it displaying the messages from that dialogue, and lock the phone, it won't give me a notification when I receive a message.
Anyone know a way to disable this annoying 'feature'?
Thanks

I'd love a fix for this also. I've seen it on most all ROM's I've tried. If the HTC messaging app is open (not sure if the MS messaging does it also) I don't get notified of txt messages.
This means either you should close the app after each message, or remember to check it during a "conversation" with somebody. Very annoying.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
I assume others are having this problem but not seen much posted about it
other then some people using other message alerts.
But basically, i get a text, i click on the message thing, reply to the text, but in the top corner the message sign is still there, and the led still flashes.
Its a little bug but rather anoying.
Any fixes?
Im not using any message alert things, just the normal pre loaded one.
I've had it a few times, normally when I'm in the sms app anyway and get sent another. Only way to clear it I've found is to send myself a message then read & delete it
I find a faster way is to quickly delete the messages icon and put back on your desktop.
Yer, glad im not only one with this problem, more of a annoying then a flaw i think
I keep getting a notification from all the different SMS apps I have tried that is called "Hidden Sender Address". When you click on it, it takes you to the app but not to a message. Chomp SMS indicates it is an MMS message. I cant find any unread message in the stock app or any aftermarket ones.
Regardless, I cant find it to delete and it wont stop showing up in the notification bar. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?

OP, have you been able to fix this issue? I just received the update to Jellybean and am currently suffering from the same issue. I have tried deleting all messages and clearing the app cache but haven't been able to get rid of this notification.
I'm actually receiving the same false notification and it started today for no reason other than opening an mms. On galaxy s3 CM10 preview
Nope...havent found an official fix. If I use Chomp, it doesnt appear. GO and Handcent and it shows back up anytime I receive a new message.

If you're using a 3rd party messenging app, disable the auto-retrive MMS. Go to Stock messenger and enable auto-retrieve MMS.
I use Chomp and this fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps.

Yes this is how I got around it but I couldnt find the options in Go or Handcent to disable MMS retrieval. So I am stuck with Chomp which is not the best of the three IMO.
Just started getting this today as well on GO SMS. Easiest fix- Option key, More, Mark All Read. Cleared them out for me and the notifications thay wouldn't go away are gone.

In handcent you can go to "receiving message settings" and disable auto retrieve. My sister uses handcent and hasn't received any MMS problems since.
Hey guys. I had this pop up last night after receiving 2 MMS in a row. Setting the auto retrieve off did not fix it but "mark all read" did. Just to let you all know.
I am on Motorola Atrix CM10 4.1.1 using Handcent
I believe there is a feature to mark certain contacts/conversions as secret. That I'd what that notification is. Look in your settings for something that refers to that. Those messages don't go to inbox but separate folder. Think you might have to password them to access.

I think what you are talking about is the private inbox. Those still come up and go away just like normal text messages except they bounce to the private box. That is not what we are talking about here though

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a Galaxy S III and started getting this as soon as I got 4.1 on my phone, drove me nuts. Just googled hidden sender address and found this thread.
Hidden Sender Address notification !!!FIX!!!
I was having this problem the other day after installing a jellybean messaging app. It worked fine for a day or so then I started getting "Hidden Sender Address" all the time and then wasn't even able to delete my texts. I would delete the entire conversation and it would still show that there was a conversation there, but it was all empty.
I contacted at&t to see if they had any ideas and the only thing they could come up with was factory reset. Screw that I knew there had to be another way. I'll never trust them completely!
I contacted the creator of the app and this is what he had me do and it did work:
If you have root you can clear the DB by deleting this file (apparently):
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Of course that will delete all your SMS and MMSs, but you can
(hopefully) back them up to gmail and restore them afterwards using
SMS Backup+.
Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket.

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this file deletion without root (on a Galaxy Nexus 4.2), I'd be very grateful! Thank you.
received 4 of these today, except on my sgs2 running darkys rom HD
text inside msg 4504:message not foun
id assume its ment to be found the last word

Why cant he just update the app to fix this issue?
Any news on this fix by the developer?
FIX!!!!
OK Everyone. I have resolved this issue on my Galaxy SIII and your are more than welcome to replicate this but beware, you may lose your SMS history.
First you can either delete all SMS. I didn't want to do this for obvious reasons.
Second, scroll all the way to the bottom of all your SMS. If like me you have oodles of them this might be annoying and take a while. At the bottom I found a sender called 'ANONYMOUS'!!!! Sounds ominous doesn't it.
I deleted this thread and since then I have nto had this message appear. ALTHOUGH.... i lost all my SMS as a result.... LOL whoops. bug time!
Please note. I also disabled auto download MMS, cleared badgeholder cache (which temporarily works), readded SMS icon and disabled google hangout from picking up SMS and neither of these permanently resolved the issue but feel free to try these first as you probably should do as they are non destructive.
:good:
At random times, I see duplicate text messages coming in (I use Messenger). I haven't figured out any pattern to this, but it is more than a little frustrating. Anyone else seeing something like this?
Not this exactly, but Go SMS will show duplicates my outgoing messages. However I've asked someone I sent them to and they said they didn't get dupes.
Stick to the stock text messaging application, and don't tamper with the network settings if you don't have to. If you flash, make sure you let the ROM boot up once before rooting and such.

here it is 2019 and this is happening to me...uuugggghhhh
I get this as well from time to time on LineageOS when I do a reboot, when OS starts, I get a bunch of notifications of previous messages. I think this has to do with permissions of the stock messaging app. When you install a different messaging app, it is suppose to disable stock notifications. But I got to looking at the stock messaging app settings and you can't disable notifications, that option is greyed out.
