Recently, my phone had an issue where the notification badge on an app icon did not disappear. This is occurring on the messaging app. I received two texts during the night which I did not see until the morning. However, during this time, an automated Titanium Backup was made (I don't know if it matters though). The messaging app constantly shows a 2 in the red bubble beside the app icon indicating unread messages. There are no associated notifications in the bar. Further text messages correctly appear in the notification bar but do not change the number of the messaging app. I have tried restoring a previous Titanium backup and even reflashed my rom (stock Bell rooted rom) to no avail.
I have tried googling this problem and many of the users report this issue on HTC devices but none of the suggested methods in those threads worked for me.
This issue is not "critical" as my phone functions correctly 100% of the time. It is just annoying to always see the notification badge.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello, I had this issue while using the stock ROM as well. The only resolution I could find was a factory reset. Since, I have not experienced the issue again. However, I am currently running jellybro so it remains to be seen.
When you performed a factory reset, were you able to back up your data and restore it or did this re-instigate the issue?

Try clearing data/cache for the messaging app?

Tried that already. Deleted app cache/data via settings. Also deleted cache and dalvik cache via CWM to no success.
If all else fails, I will resort to a factory reset and hopefully be able to restore everything via Titanium
OK so here is how I fixed my problem.
1. Made a full backup in Titanium
2. Made a nandroid
3. Factory reset via settings menu
4. Re-flashed stock root rom
5. Deleted Titanium backup data for Badges, Touchwiz, and Messaging
6. Restored via Titanium for all system data and other apps.
7. Problem fixed!

Quite often (few times per day) when typing SMS, the keyboard stops responding for a few seconds then goes insane and starts typing random letters by itself, even sometimes holds backspace itself and deletes the whole message. I have to leave it alone for a few minutes/force close because otherwise it keeps on doing it. This only happens when typing SMS, no other app/activity is affected.
I have tried calibration reset which didnt work, and have also reduced the number of messages per thread from 100 to 30 which also hasnt worked. This is very frustrating, as sending SMS sometimes takes more than twice as long.
The phone has not always done this, just the last few months.
Running Froyo build 2.29.405.5 (latest one I believe)
Any solutions?
Has anyone else had this issue?
Well, you might first backup your messages, contacts and any other personal data using your favorite app (sms backup and restore on the market, for sms, and for contacts just sync them using your gmail account - titanium back-up for the rest - as suggestions), then do a reset to factory defaults.
Another solution would be to root then flash different roms, of course
or maybe try diffrent keyboard like htc_ime mod and change sms app to a 3rd party one (handcent or GOsms) and see if problem persists or wheter its keyboard or appliaction related

The problem isn't keyboard related. I have tried Handcent which did not have the issue, but (suprisingly) I didn't get along with it, it was far slower than the stock HTC messaging so I switched back and stomached the issue I'm having. What is htc_ime?

I believe there is a program called GO SMS, or something similar, may be worth a shot
I'm not receiving text messages. Even when I reboot the phone I still don't get them. The only reason I know i'm not getting them is because the app text notify gives me a toast but the text message never appears in the messaging app or gives me a notification. I don't have any task killers installed. The only app I know of that affects my text messages is text notify. Is it because I sometimes run to many apps? Help please.

You'll need to provide a little more information about what you're running.
Like which ROM you're running and how did you flash it, which SMS app and how you set up your apps after flashing the ROM; did you do a restore of data or configure your apps manually after the flash.
Try removing the text notify app, clear cache and Dalvik Cache, clear data in Mms.apk and then try to have someone text you or go to Sprint website and text yourself. Nice trick for troubleshooting. Your text notify app might have old data in it that is sending you a notification. I get this on some games when flashing without clearing everything.
I'm running the Hurricane 1.5 ROM. I just flashed it less than a week ago. Buy this has been happening since the first gingerbread leak I flashed. Maybe even before that. I restored my apps with titanium backup and I restored by SMS with SMS backup. Could any of these be the problem

Yes it could be. Some data was not completely compatible with the GB leaks, especially EH17. I could not restore my email accounts...had to manually put them back in. Have you updated profile and PRL?
No I haven't done that but i'm not on sprint i'm on cricket. Should I still do it

I dunno, doesn't cricket use different prl's? You should have mentioned that in the OP. You may need to reflash it. Here is the thread:

Hi all,
Having looked around I don't see anyone with the same issue as mine with regards to SMS.
I just got a new Nexus 2 days ago, and got the 4.0.4 update by doing the clear cache thing. All good.
I installed SMSBackup+ and started to restore all my text messages. Now I have about 21,000. Honestly I have no idea how I have that many, its possible some are dupes or something, I really don't know. But basically I left it to restore them overnight and woke up this morning with all my messages restored. Lovely.
But now, I tried to send a text to someone and it just froze. I quit to the home screen, went to go back to the message app but it just sits with a black screen doing nothing.
I presume its got something to do with it trying to load all the messages for the first time or something like that but I'm a bit gutted that it can't handle it. My old Galaxy S could handle them all with ease.
Is this a known issue on the GNex or am I asking too much with the volume of SMSs??
I'm a bit gutted if I've bought this brand new state of the art phone and it can't handle what my two year old SGS could!
It might have been the case that a couple of messages were corrupt. Try clearing the sms data and restoring again but only blocks at a time. If that doesn't work the messaging app might have an issue since your now running ics.
This could be an issue that hasn't been explored as your not the average user. I for 1 limit my messages at 200 a contact.

Thanks RT, but its so slow/congested it won't let me delete them either! I tried by going into the message app and choosing delete threads.
It loads every time I reboot the phone but if I do anything on it at all, it just shows me a black screen.
On first load I can see all the messages, but if I go into one of them, even one that is only 2 threads long, it just freezes on me.
Any idea how I can delete the SMS data without going through the message app?
Or am I staring down the barrel at a factory reset? (this isn't the end of the world as I only got the phone yesterday and haven't really installed anything yet)
Right then,
So instead of trying to do something with the stock message app to delete the sms messages, I downloaded delete old messages app and ran that before loading up the stock message software.
I think the next time I restore them I will try and put the 200 cap on them like my SGS did (I thought this was a limitation of the phone not an actual setting that I could adjust! I presume I'll find it in the stock SMS settings somewhere?)
Thanks for the help RT.
I've had that issue since froyo. anytime I restore thousands of texts, the messaging app just hangs. On the rare occasion it'll come to life but for the most part unusable. only solution seems to be to restore a small portion of your texts or have a blank slate

Quit being so popular. Too many SMS.
I made a second label in my GMail I call SMS Backup and every few weeks I'll change my backed-up messages from SMS to the Backup label so when/if I wipe and restore, it doesn't pull in all my messages. If I need anything, I can easily search for it.

To delete your messages / settings go into the sms app under Settings-Apps and clear all your data.
Yes you find the sms limit setting in the general setting within the sms app.

Hi, I bought One X approximately a month back, the phone is awesome. But the issue that suddenly started to occur was yesterday when I tried to open up one of my messages, but the screen wont open, instead when I try to open up any specific conversation tab, it keeps on loading and won't show any messages at all from that person. Also after it showed this problem, I am unable to read new texts and even delete any of my texts (it sort of hangs) whereas the other phone features work clearly.
Did a factory reset, restored the backup but still no change. Kindly help me as to what should I do.
THanks!!
I ended up rooting into a custom rom hehe.
Are you rooted?

Ironically it's restoring the backup that is probably why the problem is back. Because you restored the problem too!
Open up the Messaging in 'Manage Applications' and clear cache and data. You'll loose all of your received SMS messages but at least you'll be able to use Messaging again.
If it persists ring your provider and get them to send through your SMS message center settings again.

Try to use go sms or other 3rd party messaging app... I think you've reach the maximum capacity of stock messaging...
Hey guys,
I just have a small issue. There's this little arrow that appears before every text message in the status bar. I've tried clearing my messages, freezing all recently installed apps via Titanium Backup, and trying different SMS apps. After all these steps, I've found that the stock Galaxy s3 Messaging app is the only thing affected. If you can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

NEVER MIND. Solved my own problem! Turned out I didn't fully uninstall some emoji font. That's what happens when you try to accommodate iOS devices into your social life.
