Question about new message indicators.

lkj61 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2009, 07:56 PM

I seem to have a new message bubble showing that won't go away no matter what I do. I've looked at all my messages/email, etc. and there are no new messages anywhere that I can find but yet the icon won't go away. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

i'm sure you've already tried it, but the only way for me to clear thbem is to tap on the message itself to bring it into full view.on a different note, i would like to know how to remove the message counter on the message app. i like to keep all my messages, and in about 1 month, ill have 1/2,497 messages when i recieve one.if you delete the message, the counter goes down, but i dont want to do this. i rather just make the counter disappear from the message screen. any suggestions?

Indeed, I did try that. Several times in fact, to no avail. New message indicator still persists despite my best efforts to get rid of it. :/

For getting rid of bubbles check the sticky tweaks thread there is:

4) Disable SMS-Sent Notifiation - Turns off bubble alerting that text message was sent successfully.

or do you mean the little computer icon on top with a mail?

Referring to the little number indicator that sits on top of the mail envelope that alerts you to new messages/mail. I've got one sitting on top of my mail icon that won't go away, even though I have no new email/mail messages. :/

if it's a stuck voice mail notification you can clear it through phone>options

open message in question, then scroll thru 2 find a closed envelope icon. click the icon, then it pops open. I have 2 do this once in a while.

Sure this may "fix" the issue for single texts or short convos, but I tend to have long convos via text that, when finished, are many pages long. It's quite annoying to have to go back multiple pages to "read" the message so that my phone doesn't think it's a new message. There should even be a new message indicator if the current convo is open when the new message comes in.
