Hi there,
First of all, my sincere thanks for having such a great forum. I've always been able to find all the solutions to problems by looking here. Until now...
There always has to be a first time for everything
Anyway. My problem:
Yesterday evening i was text-messaging with a my girlfriend. At one point I received a text message from her, and as I tapped the notification message to open the text, I noticed that all her other messages (and mine) had disappeared. They were gone.
Funny thing is, when ever I look at the sent messages, I can still see all the messages I've sent to her. But when looking at the message history between her and me, I only see the message that were sent after that specific message.
Now my question is, is there a way to retrieve these messages? I have been looking on this forum, but haven't seen such like post as mine. I also tried looking on google, but no luck what so ever, except for the rare post on a random forum saying it's not possible to recover them?
I just hope that there is a way you guys might be able to shed a light on this matter, as it would mean a great deal if I could recover these messages.
Also one more thing that I noticed. with all the other text conversations I have with some other friends, I see the first 5 / 6 messages. After that I get the option to see the older messages, which also include 5/ 6 message and so on and so on.
This also used to be the case with the messages between my girlfriend and me.
But since that so called killer message, I'm seeing all the messages in the same threat instead of the last 5 / 6 ones.
Maybe that this last piece of information helps you guys.
Anyway, thanks for reading in advance, and thanks for any help you guys might provide.

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...!
hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

its strange because this works fine on WM5
Hi all
A quick search yields me no decent results for my problem here.
I've posted to various other forums and even to google code about this issue. Plenty of other people have this problem, I know i'm not crazy.
G1 on tmobile, stock firmware.
When i send an email with an attachment (say, from the camera), if i move too quickly to send, the email will get stuck in the drafts folder, without the to, subject or message, and will never properly send. Sometimes i can open the message from drafts and re send it and it might work, most times i can't even get any send buttons or interaction with a half-sent message.
I can even make it happen by writing and sending a regular message too quickly. what crap!
This is intensely frustrating, and i've had several important messages sit in my drafts folder for days until i realized it didn't get sent.
Supposedly, a new os will be pushed to us early adopters soon, but who knows how long or if that will fix the problem?
My question to you all: How do you deal with this problem? Do certain custom mods take care of this issue? Which ones?
I'm tempted to install the newest Cyanogenmod, but really, all i want is for this one problem to go away, and this seems like a lot of work to do just for decent email.
Any suggestions?
I suppose i could install a 3rd party email app like K9 and read with that, but i'd rather not if there's a better way to deal with this...
Thanks!
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
Hey all! I recently got my new Xperia tl from att. One thing I have yet to find is a message limit to convert SMS messages to mms messages. All of my other phones I've owned would either automatically change SMS messages to mms messages after say like 5 pages were written, or you could select the type of message. The reason why I ask is when a message is like 5 pages long the person in talking to usually gets 5 messages but they almost never come in the right order so its like trying To put a puzzle of messages together! Haha. So is there any way to set a limit to.change the message type after the text gets to certain length? Thanks all!
I think that a five message long could be divided with a few Full Stops. Or send a email, better I think for such a long message.

You could use a third party mms message app.
Now that you have asked your QUESTION and I have ANSWERED it, can you recognise which section this thread should have been posted in?
Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks
