im sure this has proably been asked before. but i have the HTC Tilt 2 from AT&T and says i have a new message when i dont. i have tried deleting all the messages in my sent, deleted, inbox, and drafts but touch flow still says there is one at the bottom. i also dont have a notice for one. how do i fix this?
I have a touch pro 2 and I have the same issue. I tried calling HTC and they said to shut the phone, have someone text me an amount of times equal to what the number of text messages it says I have is, then wait 5 minutes and turn the phone on. That didn't work. I need to get around to waiting on hold 15 minutes to ask them again. :/
ive had this issue before and there is a fix for it...
1) unzip the attached file to your storage card
2) run the exe file
3) restart your phone
let me know if you guys need more help, but that should do it. it always works for me.
Worked. Thanks. Now to figure out why Visual Voicemail isn't working and how to fix that 1 hour 2 minute thing on the clock.
This sms issue has been discussed in at least 50 different threads on here. There is no way you guys used the search feature to solve your issue. The last thing this forum needed was YET another thread about this
If you don't know how to use the search feature (which if you look at the top of nearly EVERY page here on XDA you'll see the "search box" so I really don't know how you couldn't) that's built into the forums, in google do something like search "sms count problem XDA" and I bet you'll come up with threads that have the fix in it...
common sense goes a long way.
Regardless... glad you found your solution
If you want to turn this thread into condescending posts, I can post screenshots of Firefox's history from the last 2 days using the search feature for a handful of other things. Convenience goes a long way. Searching isn't the most simple thing. Things have to be worded correctly, versions have to match.
thanks puff601 the programs worked like a charm. and Aaron yesterday before i made this thread i did use the search function and i got so many pages that it would take me hours to look through. i looked through the first ten and found nothing pertaining to my issue.

Not meaning to be condisending at all... the reality is like I said.. searching isn't hard, might take you a bit but compared to what? Making a post and then waiting for someone to search for you and post the fix that's been discussed a million times? How dare users on here call people out on that!!!!
If you do a search, even just in this sub forum you'll probably find 20 threads started by people who have less then 10 posts asking about the exact same thing... The other day I looked and at the top of the post's there were 2 threads about this... this one and another one right under it. Come on! Just for kicks I punched in what I recommened above by searching in google the "sms count problem XDA" and low and behold the third link down was a link to a touch pro 2 sms problem... the first link showed what you had to look for, the "fixunreadcount" program, as did the 3rd link. Now, am I claiming to be a genious because when I had this issue way way back I did just that and came up with the answer almost right away? No, but the fact is I looked and found it.. Luck? Maybe... but before I post anything I look and look... or if anything say I loaded on a custom rom and had the issue I would post in that thread asking if anyone had the same issue. I'm sure someone would ring in!
Google Result for sms count problem XDA
You're right.. searching isn't the most convenient thing... Especially when you don't know how to search properly I'm sure that can be a real pain in the butt.
Regardless you got your fix one way or another and that's all that matters as I'm sure it annoyed you beyond belief... maybe this post will stay at the top of the charts for a while so other people who have the issue can find it right away and not have to use the search feature...
better yet a mod should just start a new sticky thread with fixes and known issues with the phones..... Update it every few weeks and it would make the forum a lot cleaner place.

You just don't get it. There's a difference between human interaction and the strict wording requirements of the search function. You seem to be so dead set on proving why a certain method works so well that you fail to understand the human interaction aspect of a forum.
Hi.
I have an issue and i am wondering if somebody else is concerned.
Here we go:
I own a Galaxy S 4G and usually i use Call Log instead of the Greeen "Phone" button at the menu at the bottom. Whats the use of opening that and then pressing "Log" to find whoever i called or who called me recently.
But now that i own galaxy s 2 i do not have an app / shortcut for call logs...
Help?
I tried to find it in my previous phone and copy it over... no use...
HELP!!
I dont believe there is one. It is only one extra step anyways. This is just something you will have to get use to.

you're just lazy,not programmers/devs. why not just hit the "Phone" apparently icon and then hit the phone symbol again. Like a double tap. It rakes u directly to the log.
wrong section. this is development only.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
And writing over 2000 projects for the past 15years does make me a hell of a programmer.
Nice apps but I don't think its really effective.
I have written this on the main interface page and received no answers.
On some pages I get to a point where no matter how many times I click on the back button, the page goes nowhere. When I long click on the back button it shows a list and there are pages of the same link that has the word ads in it. If I click on the bottom item in the list and long click on the back button again, the same list comes up. If I do this several times, I finally get to where I was to navigate to the page.
While I haven't actually taken the time to count, I am sure that there are over 40-50 page listings that come up from one page with only a few messages.
I am using IE9 and I want to know what I can do to stop this overtly evil behavior. I fully understand the need for ads but I don't see any good reasoning to hijack my page. If I click on a link in the page, I can then go back to normal. It doesn't happen on every page, just sometimes.
Since my bookmark to this site is on IE9 and not Chrome or Firefox and since I navigate to this site only on my desktop, I don't get the problem elsewhere. This behavior is only on this site. Some sites open pop under windows (also evil) and pop up windows (annoying) but this one really gets me angry.
Again, how does one get this bad beharior to stop???!!!
Please help:crying:
I just went back to the offending page and several times it only had two instances of the ads link. I then went to Chrome and it didn't happen at all. I know there is evil here because it is related to advertising. Is someone posting hiding something here? Is the site doing this to me? Is it an attack on IE because of the anti microsoft sentiment?
Why Why Why???
I'm done. I'm hoping for some answers now.
Sorry about the rant. I have to use IE because it is what my non technical wife is used to and the always there bookmarks on the left are important. We also have land line becasue she won't give it up.
Ummm. Don't think your in the right place dude. You'd be better off searchin ms support or at least using a windows forum. This is Android!
But to try to help, sounds like a browser hijacker, or malware. You need to run scans with malwarebytes, spybot, hijack this, anti-virus....you get the idea.
Sorry I can't help you more than that. Good luck

I know that it is off topic, but since it only happens here I thought I would try here next. I also have a request in the Chrome forum as to how to get the left side bar bookmarks there.
Thanks, I hope it doesn't get deleted until I at least get some answer. I won't post here on this subject until someone asks me to qualify my question.
If you haven't already, download and run malwarebytes. Its one of the best and can find tons of stuff that regular AV can't.
As for bookmarks, if it comes to it there are utilities you can use to back them up. Then uninstall/reinstall IE.
You can also import bookmarks from/to chrome.

Dude, this is an Android forum not a PC forum, what's wrong with you?
You have a virus or some serious malware.
Do a fresh install of windows, problem solved, stop being such cry baby.
Yikes this is a forum for mobile android phones not windows.
Like everyone has suggested use malwarebytes, it is free!
Antivirus software rarely pick up malware.
Use spybot search and destroy
Install spyware blaster to avoid future such problems

While looking for another solution (to another problem) I found your post. The same thing happened to me today on this site.
The problem is not your PC, nor your browser and is not a malware issue either. In fact, it's from a script that is specifically designed to disable the browsers' back button. You see, the back button does not generate any revenue towards pay-per-click and/or similar schemes. Click-throughs, however, will...
Chances are that one of the page ads loaded the script (usually java) and set a cookie as well (to prevent one from replicating the problem).
Closing the browser window is about the only way to get around it. Holding the pull-down for the back-button only shows numerous versions of the same page.
Other browsers have plugins that can prevent the script from running in the first place and/or block the ads entirely.
If it keeps happening then you should contact one of the Forum Mods.
Hope this helps.

Can't delete or move unless we happen upon it (like I just did) or you report it. Not like we have filters that send us PMs whenever someone types Delete or Move. Doesn't work that way, fellas. Sorry

At OP, if you are still having problems with the site, got to the main XDA page and flag an admin to check out your issues. Plus you could search there and if no results pop up or no one else is having the issue, there error could be between the chair and keyboard. If you want this to remain open, it is your choice but you will have better luck in the main XDA section, rather than the SGS3 section.
Shoot me a PM if you want it closed. If no PM by morning my time, then it is gone.
Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
I tried using XDA Labs but that failed as well.
Anybody else experiencing this?
---edit---
This has now been resolved. If anybody's reading this with a similar issue, read the next few posts.

Is it doing this on different PC browsers. Sounds like a browser issue BUT it might be something about the thread.
Can you link to the thread in question and just as a matter of interest does it do it on other threads of yours.... like this one?

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Thank you for that, I'm trying the advanced edit now...and it seems to work. No gateway error!
Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

Agh! good some progress at least.
So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...

Hi. I noticed that for any thread I visit and try to go to any other page via the buttons, the page simply reloads. For example, in a thread, I want to see page 2 to see if there are new comments. I click the 2 in the page buttons (the one with numbers and arrows for previous/next page), then the page reloads and the 1st page is still shown. Same for any number I click on. Strangely, this doesn't happen when I click the "Last Page" button...
I'm assuming this is either a bug or something wrong on my end, but I don't know which.

Not the case here. Please refer to attached screenshots; file names show how fast the shots were taken i.e. pages also loaded very fast.
Maybe a browser issue on your side?
