So I flashed my old R1A rom up to R3A through the SE installer. It's been fine, except that the text messages I receive don't show the time received, only the date.
So I must ask you guys, how do I fix this? I checked the through MMS/SMS settings and there wasn't an option. There wasn't one for XperiaTweak either :/
Edit: I did more searching. I tried the Time Zone Trust fix and it did nothing. The thing is, is that if I haven't sent a text message on it last, it won't show the time and it goes down the list. The option is set to "Received". However, on the older ROM when it was on this setting, it would show it by the latest update.

When I receive a new SMS message on my Kaiser (WM 6.0), I do get notified, but within a second, the notification disappears and all messages in my SMS folder are marked as read.
I first noticed this this morning; it's probably something I did yesterday, since I installed the latest versions HomeScreen Plusplus UI and David Andrs' pRSSreader then. I uninstalled both, though, to no avail.
Is there any reg value that could be causing this, or some other obscure setting? I've been trying to fix this all day, and nothing seems to be working.
Okay, yet another problem with this kaiser. This phone is acting worse then a problem child on crack since I reloaded 6 times because of me trying to get the weather in my area. Anyhow, since I gave up trying to fix the weather thing, I now have a message problem. I have deleted all messages from inbox and outbox, etc. But still the phone keeps saying I have one new unread message. I have powered the device off and also used the stylus to reset it from the bottom button, and still have no effect. What is wrong with this thing this time? Has anyone had this problem? I am running the stock HTC firmware with WM 6.1 and Update 23 of M2D Touchflo. Also have Update 20 addons installed to make things work, etc. TomTom, and other msc programs. Don't think they would effect this, since I had this setup before my phone starting to screw up.
Okay, I found the solution. If anyone else needs this then here is the website:
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/fixunreadcount.shtml
Description:
This utility fixes the unread count for every mail folder in every account on the device.
Some users have had problems with Inbox or the Today screen displaying "-1" unread messages, or displaying 1 or more unread messages when, in fact, there are none. This utility will detect and repair these discrepencies.
It's not flashy, but it does the job
Just power off device and restart it and it should be gone.
It began when I received a MMS...this was a second attempt MMS because the first one wouldnt download so I told him to resend it...the second one didnt work either but ever since the second one it says I have one unread text...I tried deleting both of those MMSs and nothing...then I did the s/w update that was just released and still nothing...now Ive deleted all my messages and its still there!?! Its not a big deal but its getting a little annoying...any ideas?

Try emptying the "deleted" folder?
Haha...I did but nothing...thanks tho!
Some softresets or just turning off the phone and turning it on again?
Should solve those kinds of mistakes...
I assume it's the same problem as with my X1i I had once. The message box is showing an unread message, but in fact all messages have been signed as "read" or it looks like there is a hidden message you can't mark as "read".
In order to get rid of this I used a tool provided here on the forum which removes that issue so use it and please give feedback if it worked out:

good luck mate !
its not a bug. it says unread text because youve not recieved your mms yet. i had the same thing. its still waiting for you to receive and read it, until you download and recieve the mms you will still have the alert. have you checked your mms settings? make sure your account is set up properly. the first mms i get on a phone is always a pain, but after that they should all work fine. i had to manually click on the notification and download it. it came through in the end.

Thanks...but after I installed it nothing happened...am I suppose to do something after its installed or does it just fix it?
Actually after doing some searching I am guessing that the program just adds the option of marking all as read and ive done that with no luck...plus ive deleted the whole inbox and still nothing...

I believe it is a bug because I received a mms correctly the day before...which was my first one... and I also manually clicked on the notification...I waited almost two days for it to come in before deleting my whole inbox...so I guess Im just stuck with my phone thinking Ive got 1 unread damn message...ugh

Actually I think this program is now making my phone freeze up over and over...
Soft reset really helped! But it didnt get rid of the 1 new text...lol...but now my phone is much faster and just overall much smoother...

you originally said that the first mms wouldnt download and he sent another one. until you download and read all the pending mms then it will continue to say unread. clearing your inbox wont make much difference since the message isnt on your phone its stuck somewhere out there on the network and your phone knows it lol. but i think they expire after 14 days or so. you might be able to reduce the expire time in the mms settings menu.
Oh, sorry I meant I got the very first MMS correctly...the second ATTEMPT on the second MMS is when the one unread message began to stick...but yea it will probably go away soon...should I change the validity period to 1 day? Or 1 week?
try it at as short as possible. hopefully that will clear it. if not, then you can try a program like "pim backup" to backup all your messages and contacts then completely clear all your accounts on your phone. you can then just do a restore to put all your messages and contacts back afterwards...
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
Hello.
Tried reading through the pages that popped under the search option, but couldnt get either the CAB file to work (didnt download)
I've been in contact with HTC support and my Service provider. Both accuse each other of faulty programming.
My problem is:
Every MMS I recieve, shows as 25KB, and are small as thumbnails. Every MMS I send to people, they recieve as 25KB.. If I check my own sent image from my phone, it shows as normal (probably around 117kb with gives fullscreen photo).
Now this started to happen after the Android version 4.0.4 was updated on my phone, and the new HTC Sense version (3.6 or whatever).
Is there any way to bypass this, also tried with Handsam SMS or what the name was with little to no luck.
Will installing a custom ROM work? My settings look OK, 300kb etc. Also tried getting new settings from my service provider with no luck in changes.
