i'm using dcd 3.2.5 currently, and in Phone Suite and the Messaging today plugin it displays that i have 1 unread SMS, but i do not. even after clearing the SMS directory completely, it still says there is one unread. the main messaging screen does not indicate any unread messages, however if i go into SMS and click the folder drop down, inbox has a (1) next to it. pocketbreeze also does not indicate any unread messages. is there a registry key or something i can edit to fix this? please note that this is not the issue in dcd 4.x.x where messages need to be scrolled over. thanks guys
EDIT: got it. seemed to be a combination of a registry edit and fixunreadcount.exe.

I have Palm Threaded SMS installed on my WM6 Hermes. Every so often a message gets caught in between the original SMS program and the threaded program and displays messages saying "2 Unread Messages" when there are none unread.
After redoing my whole OS for the billionth time a friend gave me instructions on fixing the issue. Install a registry editor like Total Commander, Clear out my inbox and turn on flight mode, Install Palm Threaded SMS, Open Total Commander and go to: \\ - Registry - HKLM - Software - Microsoft - Inbox - SVC, then Rename “SMS” to “SMS1.old” and Rename “MMS1” to “MMS1.old”, turn off power via power button, turn phone back on and turn off flight mode.
Yeah, so it worked okay for a week or 2, then the messages became stuck again.. showing "2 Unread Messages" when none were unread.
I also tried to display my normal "Inbox" on the today screen so that I had access to reading my outlook e-mail, and that display now ALWAYS says "SMS: 1 UNREAD"
Is there any new Threaded SMS program that won't allow messages to get caught between the programs? I'm so tired of having to reinstall WM6 in order to get rid of the Threaded SMS and reinstall it so that it doesn't say I have all of these messages that didn't go through, and now my SMS isn't even working properly. Apparantly people are receiving my texts, but their replies are not even coming through on my end at all. Help!
I could swear I just answered this...

I'm really sorry.. there's a crap load to look through on here and I discovered the problem while at work so I couldn't read all billion messages. Thanks, I'llc heck out your post.
An "hidden" SMS seems to be present in my phone. Having deleted all the received messages, as soon as the first SMS comes in, the count begins from "two", even if there is only one message to read of course.
I have the last official ROM installed.
Any advices?

While in your messages, Menu>Settings>Traditional Mode.
This should display all of your messages individually. You can tap the message and click delete and it will stop showing up.
I have already tried, of course, but this did't work

and soft reset.

your solution worked for a slightly different problem for me: i could see 1 message only in the messages tab but the messaging client inbox was empty. i switched over to traditional mode inbox and then deleted it.
The .exe file worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
Hello All,
I have been experiencing a strange problem for a long time and now I'd finally like to eliminate it.
When I first got my DS5 (bought directly from Dell at announcement!), I moved my contacts database over from a couple WinMobile2003 phones (HTC TyTN I & II). The conversion went smoothly except for the strange occurrence of extraneous characters - in particular commas! I've combed the contacts database on the DS5 and removed and corrected any and all problem entries.
After all this the native Froyo 2.2.2 ('351) SMS application sometimes shows commas in a thread for a particular contact, for example, if the messages for contact entry "John Doe" with number "+1-800-555-1212' is being viewed, the SMS app shows "John Doe <,18005551212>"! If I attempt to just reply from within the thread, I will get an error indicating there was a problem with the number (due to the",")! So, if I want to reply to a "corrupted entry", I have to use the phone app's contacts feature to send a SMS and strangely when my message is sent, it automatically opens the SMS app with the correct name and number without the extraneous comma... If I then exit the thread to top-level listing of all messages, then re-enter the previously correct thread - the comma is now shown! It seems whatever database the SMS program uses is screwed up. By the way, I have even deleted a corrupted thread and when a new message is sent or received, the comma comes back!
Before I attempt a complete reinstall of everything and a re-sync with my Gmail contacts. (along with backed-up SMS, MMS & Call Log using the Market App "Backup to Gmail") , I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same problem and corrected it?
Thanks, in advance, for your all's help...
I use Hangouts as my default SMS app in my Nexus 5.
No matter what I do, all the themer widgets seem to think I have 2 unread SMS messages. I don't.
Is there any way I can get the themer widgets to show the correct unread count?
I've had the same problem a few times. You do actually have to unread messages somewhere. You may have archive them or deleted them.

What RED said is correct, also check that it isn't showing SMSs from other accounts.

I noticed this as well. It seems to be due to the Android SMS Messaging app on my phone showing the message as unread even though my current default sms app (hangouts) has no unread messages. the only way I have found to clear the unread flag is to set it the original sms app back to default then click on the message and read it then set hangouts back to deafault. Or once I've determined which thread is the culprit (via opening the default app, then going to hangouts and deleting that thread it clears the flag. Not ideal, since there's a reason for keeping history, but it keeps my OCD nature of having an unread message from having a fit.....
I would be interested if anyone has found a fix for this as opposed to my work around.

Thanks for the update! We'll pass it onto our devs. For now we don't have a fix, but an update should be released this week that may help.

I started noticing a slowdown on my LG V20 in the last week or 2. It was very random. I believe it is because I have about 57,000 text messages.
I do not need 57,000 text messages. I normally use Chomp or Textra apps. At this time, some text messages started to not come through to me. For example, my boss texted me and then called me later when I did not respond. Screenshots show she sent the text but I never received it. This happens rarely, but has happened with my sister and my wife as well.
I loaded the default AT&T text message and asked it to truncate all converstaions at 1000 messages per thread (I have 2 threads over 12000 messages). It was unable to do it. I then installed Textra again and asked it to do the same thing - it could not delete old messages or keep conversations at 1000. However, Textra shows some of the dropped text messages. The other apps (Chomp, default AT&T, and Handcent) do not show them at all.
My only solution is to delete all the text messages. I would like to keep the recent ones but no app seems to be able to keep the limits I have set on the threads.
Is there some type of SMS/MMS management app that would manually force the conversations to their limits (1000 messages per conversation?).
I believe when I updated to this phone, and I transferred my messages from my S7, maybe an error was introduced?
One conversation thread has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it. Maybe that thread is damaged?
Any advice appreciated.
