MMS/SMS inbox (1)

kporter1500 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-06-2010, 02:59 PM

This just started happening yesterday. My MMS inbox is still showing "(1)" even after I've cleared ALL of the SMS/MMS messages out. My inbox, sent items, outbox, deleted items and drafts are completely empty. What the hell is going on???????????

In the event nobody else posts an actual solution, I'll just share that this happened to me before as well. In fact, it has happened with both a stock and a custom rom.

The first time I tried Verizon Tech Support. To their credit, they did spend well over an hour with me and remotely installed some files, but nothing worked. Their end solution was to reflash.

Hopefully somebody does have a solution. Hate to reflash for no reason...

This just happened to me when someone was sending me a picture. The sender's name appeared, but the message was empty; however, the size of the message was 30K. I deleted the message and performed a reboot, but I still have the one "unread" message notification.

I should have edited my post. I know it's been discussed numerous times on the forum. The fix on Sam's post didn't work (probably because the FixUnreadCount.zip file didn't cover MMS), but what did work was a version of the regedit that was posted by boredandtattoed (and thanked) on another thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...&highlight=MMS

The regedit, to quote her, was "hkcu\system\state\messages\sms\unread should say 1 on count, change to 0 and reset." Mine was already at 0, so I looked at MMS directory and found that it was set to 1. I changed it to 0, and the unread count went away.
