I was pretty sure my tp1 marked them but can't remember now... Anyone?

The most recent TP i had replaced by sprint (3-4 weeks ago) before i got the TP2 had the same problem, with not marking them as "read" even when they were... I think it's the new update software as the TP i had before the new one didn't have that problem. I am facing the problem still with my TP2 and it's annoying cause like you said, you have to go back, ok, back, ok then it's clear...

this works great! tnx.

Hi there everybody, I am having this problem too. I have a touch pro 2 from US Cellular. Now I downloaded the new dll juggs posted, I couldn't get to the windows folder when my phone was plugged into the computer. Maybe it was something I didn't check, but I can see some folders, just not the windows folder. I am not sure if that is normal or not.

So I placed the .dll into my documents folder, then on my phone using the file explorer I tried to copy/paste into the windows folder. It wouldn't let me overwrite that .dll. It says deeeeeenied.

Am I doing something wrong here? It wouldn't surprise me...

Thanks

Search for Total Commander. It's another file explorer program that will allow you to copy it. The phone file explorer won't let you just copy things to the windows folder.

EDIT: It doesn't look like Total Commander can either. Try Resco Explorer.

Ok, I downloaded resco, copied over the .dll and threw it in the windows folder. I then restarted my phone using the reset button behind my battery cover. I dont know what reset that is called. However, that didnt work, so i took out the battery and restarted it that way and its still shows 1 unread message. So I dont know what to do...

Can you try the registry method below. Note though that this might be a temp fix only which might not stick after receiving more texts.

HKCU\System\State\Messages\SMS\Unread and change the value of "Count" to "0"


If that doesn't work, do you have a previous backup of your SMS/email via SBP backup or maybe sprite back up. Restore the one before you seen the issue. This is what I did to fix mine.

Azn, I never got around to trying that. I did however find this program that worked for me. I had to restart my phone and then I ran the program and it worked. Hope this works for you. So far so good, I just ran this, so I haven't received any texts yet.
