Hi all,
I tried to post on this before and see if someone had any ideas on what to do. I have a wing, and a few months ago, the text message counter started showing a phantom message indicator so even though there were no unread messages, on the today screen, it would show 1 unread message. Nothing I could think of made that go away. Now, today it did it again, so there are now 2 unread text messages showing on the today screen but there are not 2 unread messages in the inbox. I've even tried deleting all text messages so that there is nothing in any of the boxes (in, out, saved, deleted) and it still shows 2 unread messages. It's annoying and makes it difficult to get an accurate count when I am just glancing at my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

search for something called "FIXUNREADCOUNT"
it's a simple exe file, you copy over to ur phone and run from the phone that will fix these issues.

Hi once again,
Since i disabled sms message from displaying in today screen, i dont get any notification anymore. I only know that there is a message if i open the sms inbox folder.
Is there a way of keep that message display disabled, but receiving notification aswell as the numbers of messages to be read?

I'm hoping someone can help me out here, but I sent a lot of text messages trying to win tickets to a concert. I've since delted all the text messages, but it still shows there's one in the inbox. I cleared out all the text messages and email. I reset the phone three times now and even took the battery out, but it still says there's one message in there. It's not a big deal, but i'd hate to have hard reset the phone just to get that off there. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed
Same problem for me since 2 weeks !!! didn't figure out how to fix it !!!! except a hard reset.. which is something i don't want to do..
if someone has an answer... welcome !!!
Ive found the answer!!!
Ive found a fix if you guys haven't already and it doesn't involve a hard reset.
I'm having this same problem, could you please post the fix?
This is just an FYI to anyone else having this problem. I tried quite a few different things and none of them worked. I got the FixUnreadCount.exe from Raven, and that didn't solve the problem. I went into the registry and tried a few different things, including the changing the SMS and MMS counts to 0. That would work for a little while, but as soon as I would get another text message, the count would go back up for two messages that I couldn't see. I even completely cleared my inbox, but the count still showed two unread messages.
What I ended up having to do was disable threaded messaging (see the FAQs for how to do this) in order to see the two messages that were there. They didn't show up in threaded messaging, but when I went back to a regular inbox with all of my messages pooled together, I was able to see two text messages with no sender (not sure how that happens). I deleted them from there, cleared them from the "Deleted" folder, and then re-enabled threaded messaging. At that point, the count was back to normal.
thanks a lot!
it works...!
I have the T-Mobile(UK) version of the Diamond & I am experiencing many issues with it.
I had the Vario II before and never had a problem with it but this is driving me nuts at times.
I love the phone but the issues I am experiencing are spoiling it.
The issues include...
1. When phone has been charging if you turn it on from standby the screen comes up but is frozen. Holding off button does not work, the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I have also had it freeze with the screen black.
2. The phone vibrates & continues to do so, again only removing the battery will stop it.
3. Ring tone does not start until a short while after a call comes through.
4. Lower part of handset gets extremely hot whilst in use.
5. I have NTL mail set up & it continuously shows 1 unread email message. I have recieved hundreds of emails since and read them all but the 1 unread message logo on home screen & text on bottom of screen in NTL mail remains even if inbox is empty. Didnt want to 'Clear NTL mail' as I want to keep my sent messages etc.
6. Type assist thing is extremely annoying & I dont seem to be able to permanently turn it off! I write something then put a full stop, question mark etc and press enter or space and it puts it at the beginning of the word, not after where it should be.
7. Changed keypad layout but still remains as big QWERTY.
8. Intermittently all my contacts vanish & the numbers in my call history have lost their name tags.
9. Just noticed all my 'Favourite people tags' have disappeared
10. Also the finish is rubbing off the back cover even though I am very carful with it and mainly keep it in my suit pocket. Had my Vario II for 18 months and it still looks like new.
11. Many other issues but cant remember them all at the moment.
I have not altered any of the software and am not very technical so please keep any replies very basic.
I have had the phone about 3 months, how do I go on with returning it under warranty if there is no easy fix?
Thanks
Rich

This can be resolved by going to your inbox, then click "inbox" in the top left and goto "Outlook E-mail" where there is a welcome message. Delete that and you should be ok.
Regarding the other problems you might need to upgrade your ROM, theres plenty of info in the Diamond ROM development section on that.
Unfortunately that does not work. The unread message is showing in my NTL world inbox, you go into the inbox and there is nothing there! It even says '1 unread message' along the bottom of the screen even though the inbox is empty
How do you upgrade the ROM? Will it affect the warranty?
Just tried the Clear "NTL World" option in tools as a last resort but its still there!
Earlier today I got a notification about a new message from "(Unknown)" with no text. When I pressed the notification I only got to my inbox, so the actual message didnt seem to exist.
When I got another message (a real one this time) it said I had 2 unread messages but only the real one was showing in the inbox.
Somehow I've got an invisible unread message. How do I fix it?
I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there
