Worked. Thanks. Now to figure out why Visual Voicemail isn't working and how to fix that 1 hour 2 minute thing on the clock.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
This sms issue has been discussed in at least 50 different threads on here. There is no way you guys used the search feature to solve your issue. The last thing this forum needed was YET another thread about this :P

If you don't know how to use the search feature (which if you look at the top of nearly EVERY page here on XDA you'll see the "search box" so I really don't know how you couldn't) that's built into the forums, in google do something like search "sms count problem XDA" and I bet you'll come up with threads that have the fix in it...

common sense goes a long way.

Regardless... glad you found your solution
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] raz1337:
If you want to turn this thread into condescending posts, I can post screenshots of Firefox's history from the last 2 days using the search feature for a handful of other things. Convenience goes a long way. Searching isn't the most simple thing. Things have to be worded correctly, versions have to match.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JWJR:
thanks puff601 the programs worked like a charm. and Aaron yesterday before i made this thread i did use the search function and i got so many pages that it would take me hours to look through. i looked through the first ten and found nothing pertaining to my issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Not meaning to be condisending at all... the reality is like I said.. searching isn't hard, might take you a bit but compared to what? Making a post and then waiting for someone to search for you and post the fix that's been discussed a million times? How dare users on here call people out on that!!!!

If you do a search, even just in this sub forum you'll probably find 20 threads started by people who have less then 10 posts asking about the exact same thing... The other day I looked and at the top of the post's there were 2 threads about this... this one and another one right under it. Come on! Just for kicks I punched in what I recommened above by searching in google the "sms count problem XDA" and low and behold the third link down was a link to a touch pro 2 sms problem... the first link showed what you had to look for, the "fixunreadcount" program, as did the 3rd link. Now, am I claiming to be a genious because when I had this issue way way back I did just that and came up with the answer almost right away? No, but the fact is I looked and found it.. Luck? Maybe... but before I post anything I look and look... or if anything say I loaded on a custom rom and had the issue I would post in that thread asking if anyone had the same issue. I'm sure someone would ring in!

Google Result for sms count problem XDA

You're right.. searching isn't the most convenient thing... Especially when you don't know how to search properly I'm sure that can be a real pain in the butt.

Regardless you got your fix one way or another and that's all that matters as I'm sure it annoyed you beyond belief... maybe this post will stay at the top of the charts for a while so other people who have the issue can find it right away and not have to use the search feature...

better yet a mod should just start a new sticky thread with fixes and known issues with the phones..... Update it every few weeks and it would make the forum a lot cleaner place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] raz1337:
You just don't get it. There's a difference between human interaction and the strict wording requirements of the search function. You seem to be so dead set on proving why a certain method works so well that you fail to understand the human interaction aspect of a forum.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxxo:
okay the nexus one gallery is borken. watching any videos no matter what source it is from, it will mess up.

99% of the time after watching a couple of videos, it starts screwing up. sometimes it will play 1 frame of the video and then just play the audio. sometimes it will crash and make me force close. this happens to videos that are 100% compatible with the phone, ive even played many of these videos before without trouble, and then randomly it starts causing crashes. sometime it even says cannot play video WHEN THE VIDEO WAS ALREADY PLAYING 100% FINE AND NOW IM FORCED TO CLOSE THE VIDEO!!.

i went from an iphone 3g to a nexus one, ended up spending allmost twice as much for a phone that cant even play videos.

i need help, this is very frustrating.

EDIT: also every time i restart my phone, i get the error that the process com.android.launcher2 and stopped working, and force close is th only option. this happens EVERYTIME!. i have not done anything that could harm my phone, infact i rarely even use it outside of web browsing, calling and texting, and maps.
[HD2 Accessories] jdbpogo:
just got an extended battery and was wondering if anybody knew of a case that would fit around this monster. i looked on the sites that i know about but no luck. i tried to cut out the back section on one of my regular cases but the sides aren't really held in place very well (not enough material left to provide the stiffness/ stablity to hold in place). any ideas or maybe somebody knows of one out on the market?

i've shattered one screen already so a shock absorbing cover is a must.

i ve also searched every where nbut nothing :(:(, might have to get it custom made let me know if you find any

I found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-2300mAh-H...ssories_RL&hash=item519389b779#ht_2132wt_1044 that has a cover with the battery.

[HD2 Accessories] pa2ra:
He is asking about a full cover, I guess...

Something like the otterbox cover that covers the whole phone, but allows you to use the extended battery.
[HD2 Accessories] jdbpogo:
yea, exactly. a shock absorbing case that can be used with the extended battery.

i have an otterbox commuter and love it, but my battery runs out on the after work train ride home. the extended battery works great (for me about 170% of original), but as i mentioned earlier, one small drop and presto, shattered screen (i love that the bezel around the screen is so thin. it gives such a small form factor for such a large screen, but it is fragile). so i don't dare leave the house without the otterbox.

i saw this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693427 but in all honesty this just isn't a solution for me. i need edge impact protection. apart from being ugly beyond belief, these mods leave the top corners exposed which could spell disaster.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Hello all, I'm new to this site and I've never rooted a phone. Actually, the Eris is my first smartphone. I've read a lot of forums about rooting the Eris and from what I understand I shouldn't have installed the 2.1 ota update. I bought this phone soon after they were released so maybe I have a 1.47 hboot? I'm unsure how to check this, but if so does this mean I can root using the 1.5 method?

I just bought a class 6 8GB microsd card with the hopes of installing a custom rom, overclocking, and installing apps2sd. Now I'm getting very discouraged because it seems 2.1 can't currently be rooted.

Hopefully a senior user can help me out. Please put your response in lamens terms. I've seen some other forums where junior users are getting bashed for asking stupid questions so I'm putting it out there....please don't bash me for this one.

everything you need and more. To answer your next question. As long as your phone was never updated with leak, the process for root of 1.5 and 2.1 are the same.

happy rooting!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Thanks Spencer! If I root using the method at that page will I be able to flash other roms or will I be stuck with this 2.1 ROM? I'd like to install the evileris rom and (again I'm a newbie) I don't want to end up stuck like the people who installed the leaked 2.1.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candlebawx:
you should be able to flash a custom rom to the phone as i believe you have to first load a custom recovery image to it. i could be wrong though just a guess.

SDK Not Working?

HELP!! I just rooted my phone, installed java, installed SDK and I can't get the command prompts to work. I followed the steps exactly (or so I think) and I'm opening sdksetup.exe. When I try to type I get nothing. Am I opening the wrong file or doing something wrong. I've not been able to install the recovery or custom rom to my phone yet, so I'm very vulnerable right now. Any ideas anyone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Ok, maybe this is my problem...

Before the root, I could go into device manager from my computer and I got a yellow exclamation mark. After the root, I cannot find it. I can click on portable devices and it shows an Android Phone so I'm guessing my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. If that's the case I probably need to update the driver for SDK to work, but I need to find the device for that to work. I have USB debugging on. Any help is appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If it says android phone with no exclamation point that means it is recognized. Its when there is an exclamation point that means it is not recognized. I probably won't be able to help you further because I'm a rooting noob (I've only rooted my Eris and I had no problems) but I am a computer expert and I would suggest rebooting your computer and then trying it again... unless you already have.

What exactly do you mean when you say "I can't get the command prompts to work"?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaous2000:
Ok, calm down its not the end of the world, i ran into the same problem. What we need for us to help you, is at what point are you in trying to root your phone. Do you have SDK installed and updated?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I'm following the how to root instructions. I've completed I: Gaining Root and made it to 9. In II: Prerequisites. Java and SDK are both saved and extracted on my c: drive. I downloaded the USB drivers package in #6 of II. USB debugging was enabled and the phone was set to charge only. When I opened device manager on my pc, their was no yellow exclamation like the instructions indicated. I clicked on "Android Phone" and attempted to update the drivers found in SDK but Windows said they were up to date. I moved on to step III. Flashing a Custom Recovery and saved the zip file to my SD (should I save that to my c: drive?). I extracted it to tools in Android SDK and attempted to use the command prompt in SDK. It was unresponsive. It did not recognize my phone. I'm unsure if it does that automatically, if I need to take action, or if I should use the pc command prompt.

I went back to #9 of II and tried to troubleshoot. I tried every way I could think of to get the exclamation mark to show up in device manager so I could update the USB drivers. I hooked up my wife's unrooted Eris and it had the exclamation. I restarted my phone, restarted my computer, reflashed PB00IMG.zip and still had no luck.

Anybody had this probem? Any suggestions?

Difference between hTC messenger and Windows

Windows Messenger uses iFrames (slow)

htc messenger looks like it uses program windows instead, but it does have problems reading from the Messaging database last time i checked(send a message and wont see it on screen for a little) but the Windows mobile messenger does sometimes freeze when its loading from the messaging database, and the program becomes unstable and wont open again without a softreset.

htc messenger looks like it belongs with sense, and Windows messaging looks like Windows messaging (outlook) blech..

htc messenger consumes a little more RAM and is believed to cause some lag problems, but Windows messenger isnt believed to exhibit either.

Im gonna install the new Htc messenger now and give it a go and ill repost here. Im using energyrom GTX
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mech_supernova:

I'm pretty excited to flash to a different ROM, because I just had to do a hard reset today lol so maybe a custom ROM will be more stable
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mech_supernova:
yea they usualy are more stable, 3 thinks you should test as soon as you flash lol 1: make sure you can send MMS. 2: Make sure you can recive MMS 3: make sure the data connection works.

nothing quite like getting everything set up and loaded only to figure out the MMS dosent work and you cant figure out why lol

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
I have to say the htc messaging 1.8 (build 2015 and 2016 depending on what your rom needs) runs way way better then the old version. No more lag, pictures actually have a thumbnail preview in the messaging window, secure box... just awesome
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] smithisize:
Well I'm running Cell Pro 1.2 so idk if it'll take the new one??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
Find out if the rom is using a 2015 or 1016 manila build. If so then yes you can use the new one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] smithisize:
Ok, my ROM is using manila v 2.5.20122227, so I cannot use the new messenger?

From the sounds of it, it would be a great thing to have, so if I cannot use the new messenger, how could I change my version of manila to be compatible?

About a week ago, the weather application stopped updating.

As it has always been, when going back to the home screen

my signal would go from 3G to H and update.

Now, the only way I can get an update is thru wi-fi.

No settings that I am aware of have been changed or altered

to cause this to happen.

Has this happened to anyone else?....btw my phone is Tmobile US.

Would appreciate any feedback and, moderators if that has been

covered before I do apoligize. Did search but, nothing relevant to

this particular problem.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
How ironic?

You live in Lewisville, TX? I used to live there, went to high school there actually... but anyway, I posted about this EXACT same topic in the T-Mobile USA section for the HD2. Literally, our situations are identical. I am experiencing the same issue.

I cannot believe that I am not the only one.

Then again, I did find quite a few similar posts to ours on the official T-Mobile forums.

As far as a solution goes... your guess is just as good as mine is. I have no idea how to go about resolving this lame-ass problem.

Yeah, kind of really getting me down. Not getting the weather

update isn't the end of the world but, it's one of the phone's

I was using GPS navigation on google nav and playing music through the HTC media player and GPS signal wouldnt stick if i was moving, only if i was standing still. Something is preventing this multitasking. I need someone to test if it is just me or my ROM or these specific apps. I am running fresh .2 ROM btw.

UPDATE

GPS breaks when playing music through the external speaker. The signal will be lost, or really spotty until you stop playing music. HTC has not commented on the issue. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it possible to fix?

I never even thought to try running my gps without music, I just thought it had a very crappy gps antenna or something. I have yet to try it without music to verify this as well, but tomorrow I probably will test it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
Just a wild stab at the dark, but maybe the magnet in the external speaker interferes with the GPS antennae? Not too sure about that though....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
Hmmm, would be interesting if the placement of the speaker and the GPS is the actual problem, I really hope not though. The problem doesn't occur when the GPS app uses the speaker or you get a notification playing on the speaker though, maybe the duration is short enough to not loose the signal? I emailed HTC about this issue, didn't have time to call them about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emrys_90:
I can verify this, did a two hour trip last night and didn't lose the signal once with the music not playing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazydev:
Yes, it's because of the speakers

This is a funny problem. Something about the speakers is interfering with the GPS reception. It's not just that the speakers are on, but how loud it is. The louder the sound, the worse the reception.

I'm running the stock ROM. I used GPS Status and the stock music player. I played a song that is fairly constant in loudness, and noticed that as I turned up the volume, I would start loosing GPS satellites, and then as I turned the down the volume, I would get more GPS satellites.

Update: I tried the same test out on my Hero, and it definitely doesn't have the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emrys_90:
Ha, HTC already knows about it. And it doesn't look like they're gonna do anything about it, and this guys reply probably explains why my car charger takes forever to charge my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrh2:
If that's indeed the case, one can try underclocking to prevent the heat buildup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazydev:
Nope, HTC is just throwing something silly. What they describe may be true, but playing music doesn't instantly generate heat, nor does that heat instantly disipate once you turn down the volume, or plug in a headset.

As I tested above, you can slowly degrade your reception by turning the volume up slowly. This is clearly a different issue, and it is a reasonable inference that there is some sort of interference between the speaker and GPS.

Also, if HTC insists, you can prove them wrong by keeping the phone plugged in and showing that it is still charging the battery even when the GPS looses signal.
