phone not alerting me of new sms

Hi
I'm using a norwegian version of this device, default HTC rom, not branded.
I've installed MioMap, AlenSoft QuickClock and HTC Dark Phone Pad International.
I use both the keylock and press the "off" button to turn off the display when I'm not using the phone.
Then after a month use without any trouble I find that from time to time the display turns on by it self. Not any scheduled callendar events, no new sms/mms, no new call (or missed call) and no sound alert, just the display turning itself on. But, if I go into the message center, it tells me that I've one new sms.
This is frustrating, since I often get sms messages related to work operations and rely on getting them in time. And it's frustrating to have to check manually all the time for new sms'es and not be able to rely on the phone telling me that I've got a new one.
So why don't the phone alert me with sound since it for sure have recieved a new sms? (yes the sound is on) And I guess it's the underlaying phone application that doesn't repport to the quickclock application (that displays the number of new sms'es on the home screen), so I don't see it even there, have to go all the way into the messaging application.
Another thing.
Active Sync is also running without my permission from time to time.
I don't sync my phone very often (just for file transfer) and I have unchecked all elements so that it should not need/try to sync them.
I also find that the device is slowing down after 5-6 days. The respons on my screen tapping is slow and not precise. I don't have many files and try to delete the inbox/sent elements/deleted elements every other day to keep it small. I do have a storage card, sandisk 6GB micro sdhc. (working great).
I suspect that this has to do with active sync running in the backgrund when not needed, so I go to start - settings - system - memory, select running programs and end the active sync from there. After a couple of minutes the device is up to speed again.
Any thoughts on this problems? Solutions?
Thank you for any feedback on this.

Various issues with my handset

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!

Inbox says 1 new message, but nothing there?

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.

[Q] SMS getting automatically deleted

My Samsung Galaxy S bought in India and running DDJF6 deletes all my sms as soon as the number reached near about a 1000. I have not managed to find a pattern yet, but as soon as it becomes a high enough number, I suddenly find them gone. Has happenned about 3 times so far.
In messages setting, the option "delete old messages" is checked. I have tried to uncheck it multiple times, but the setting automatically comes back. "text message limit" option is also set to 5000, and despite attempts to increase it, this does not change.
Also, messages have never reached 5000 in all the conversations, let alone one conversation ! What's wrong ? TIA !
guys I can sure that you have installed quick cache cleaner app, or any other equalent app, it will delet all sms when u clear the all system cache,
solution: all you have to do is very simple open cache cleaner app n select messages press n hold it n select EXCLUDE that's it your problem will be solved!!
just wondering do you actually store 1000s of sms on your mobile?
Are they worth storing to that large quantity?

Disappearing Messages

I get notifications of messages and I can see them when they are first receievd but then they go nowhere. When I open "Messages", the folder is emp[ty and it says "There are no messages." This means that if I don't read an incoming Message (text) as it comes in, it's then gone forever from the watch. I've tried adjusting all the settings I can possibly find but no luck!
