Before I ask my question, I'd like to say that I spent the past 4 hours searching the hell out of the forums to find an answer to no avail. So please don't scream at me if a similar problem was resolved before and I failed to find that thread.
On to the question: I used Zenyee's "Disable HTC messaging 1.2" cab to restore the original tmail.exe sms interface as the main text app instead of HTC's laggy messaging interface. I have Cookie's home tab so I edited the registry and linked the notification icon to /windows/tmail.exe -service "SMS" . Everything is fine and dandy, but when I get a new text and I open it and read it etc... The notification icon still shows 1 message unread. This is true for both Cookie's notification icon and the messaging tab (green bubble with 1 on it). This doesn't go away until I reply to the particular SMS, or restart sense.
I'm sure my problem could be fixed with a simple Reg Edit. Anyone nice enough to help me out?
Thanks in Advance.
PS: I have stock TMOUS rom 2.10 etc.. I don't want to try 2.13 in fear of screen sensitivity issues.

Ok I am trying to find a way to turn off the Mail Icon and SMS icon that show up on the top bar when either of these types of messages come in. Now I did find two ways to do this, but that also turns off the notification sound. Details below.
The one I found to turn off the SMS was:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings - SMSAvailable DWORD=0
The one I found to turn off the email was:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\
{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} - Options DWORD=536870912 (decimal)
When I would either get a SMS or Email, the notification light would flash, and on TF3D It would show the number count of new messages without the redundant icon in the tray showing too. I thought GREAT! But then I tested it a few times even though I though it was working was no alert sound.
Basically what I am trying to do is keep the same functionality but without the extra icons in the tray. I do not know why I need both a new email/sms count with the TF3D as well as the same notification in the tray.
Anyone out there have any ideas, or clues????
As far as i know when you change the value in the reg to "536870912 (decimal)" for email notifications, that your are actually disabling notifications altogether for that function. Meaning that i dont think you can disable the icon without also disabling the the sound.
I feel you on the whole 2 notifications thing being kind of redundant. This has also bothered me for some time now.
My olny thought would be to maybe replace the icon with a blank icon but i dont know maybe somebody else has a better idea
OK this might sound stupid... How does one replace those icons? I have thought of that as well. But I have not seen a jpg, gif, png of any sort on this device of those icons?
I can make the icons easy once I know the process to replace them. Anyone able to assist in that process?
The icons are stored in dll files, so you cant just replace them with another icon real easily. I dont know too much about this, i still have some reading to do.
FInixNOver has a nice thread explaining it though.

I might try doing something this weekend on it but im busy the rest of today. I think post #5 on that thread is were the SMS and Email icons are discussed.

Thanks for this, as I was looking for a way to disable the email taskbar notification and this seems to be working fine.
While I would also like to disable the SMS taskbar notification, that one's not as critical to me right now. Seems like there should be a way to separate out the taskbar notification from the others. After all, sound and led notifications are broken out separately, why not the taskbar notification? As usual, something that should have been added into WM long ago but still hasn't been...
Did someone manage to fix the issue? I have the same need as rdhose.
total winmo noob here...can someone recommend a solid SMS/MMS notification application for the HD2? i love the notification system on my Nexus One (screen wakes up, flashing LED, name, photo, message preview). is there anything like that for the HD2? i tried searching the web but found pages of info one sent message notifications and firmware updates directly from HTC.
Hi
Have you tried SMSchat?
http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html
I think this have a popup notification
Hans
i havent tried that. i just browsed through the site and downloaded the users manual and i dont see any mention of popup notifications. hmmm..
Hi,
You can set notifications to show a message on the home screen when you get an sms or mms - it has who sent it and the message body. Is that what you're after?
It is in settings -> messaging -> notifications.
A CAB or BSB tweaks can turn the led on for new sms & mms's.
Regards,
Steve

Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds & notifications and change to the notifications tab. Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
It displays the sender and message onscreen when it's received.
ahhh thank you! i totally missed the "all settings" tab! i never even saw it. thanks for the help!
this is because hd2 got 2 settings - i sense and i windows...thats why its so complicated and you literally got to dig around windows directory to find what you wanted

Hi there John. How can I have the same pop up notification for messages sent from my HD2? At the moment I am using the (very usefull) "Request delivery report" from the HD2 Settings, but it is a pain having to delete the generated message every time - otherwise my MyPhone would have double the number of SMS. Thanks for any ideas.
Hi Guys ,
I tried the method suggested which is Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
However , when I change event to "Message : New Message" , the "Display message on screen" option is greyed out and NOT an option for me to tick/check.
Anybody know why ? I have installed Cookie Home Tab V1.7.1 on my phone. Could this be the problem ? Appreciate your advice.
greyed new message notifications!

would u please advice if u managed to sort this out? I am facing the same issue on my touchpro2, both notification options ("Display Message on screen" and "flash light for..") are greyed!!
not sure when it actually stared, as i installed WWE latest official ROM, then CHT 1.8.5 and CHT editor as well, and after that discovered that these options are not active any more!! looked in all the related forums but with no luck!
many thaaanks
S2U2
Try S2U2
It shows preview og mail and sms - and other things ;-)
many thanks jkolner for the tip
will give it a try now.. thou honetsly was hoping i can have it as it used to be, was very fine with that.. and i hope i can also restore the flashing LED option as i started missing many SMSs without it!!
for anyone who is facing a similar problem (i.e. inactive "display message on screen" or "flash light for.."), BsB Tweaks restored them - in addition to many other very useful options of course

Hum…I'm not sure this was the answer he search.
This only disable the waking screen when recieving a SMS. But he want a popup one [like popup notification on WinMo 6.1] which isn't a real SMS to delete after being notificated.
I have seen this issue on other phone forums via search, but I seem to be the only one with this happening on a Vibrant. Every time I get message the yellow icon comes up on the notification bar but then the old school white message icon comes up too and the drop down just says I have unread messages.
I tried turning off the notifications in the messaging options but that removes both the yellow envelope icon (I want that) but not the unread messages (white postcard). Even after "read" the messages it stays there until I hit clear notifications then pops back up when I get a new reply.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this? I am rooted running the stock ROM with the recent OTA update.
I also checked the SIM for any stored or saved messages and at one point deleted every text I had.
It sound slike you have another msging app installed - like HandCent or something.

Hi, I've recently installed handcent sms to replace the default messenger on my P500 flashed with void rom.
Now my problem is that every time I receive a new message and read it with handcent, the lock screen still shows that I have an unread message. I've pretty much disabled everything I can in the default messenger settings but its still no good.
So anyway around this problem? Will I have to uninstall messenger? If so, will that have any adverse effect on my phone?
I had same prob.
I removed handcent then reinstailed and rebooted, that fixed the problem for me.

i have the same problem with my p500. but i will give my shot to this solution.. thank you. hope it will fixed my notification in my screen. even if i don't have any unread messages.
----------------------------
UPDATE!.
not working ... still i have notification in my homescreen when it's lock.
I have an issue similar to this. When I get a new SMS message, my lockscreen will say "651 unread messages" and then that text will scroll down and disappear and be replaced with "1 unread message". It's not a huge issue, but it is annoying. Anyone find a way to get rid of this double text? I have notifications turned off in the android messaging and all the regular stuff you'd expect done, yet this persists...
i have the same problem, the workaround is to remove the default messaging app.
However this broke MMS for me, I was unable to receive them anymore!!
Any other solutions?
Remove lock screen message notification
Regarding this bug what i observed is..,
1. To remove Notification like "1 unread message" on lock screen, you have to open default message app and close (this is annoying though).
2.Till now i didn't find any solution even after Uninstall > install > rebooting....
3. One thing we can try is deleting default message app, this is not possible unless your phone is not rooted.
and I tried this with both Handcent and GO-SMS pro, and currently using Go-SMS pro..
Anybody comes up with the solution (other than point 1) let me know..

There is no good solution. The default messaging application is hardwired to the lock screen.
- uninstall the stock app
- replace or hack the lock screen
Bug LG if you want it fixed.
Thanks for the info.., I'm still a noob...have to spend some time to learn Rooting n all other stuff.... later will try to delete stock app..
I've got the same issue but I found a way out i.e. use the pattern lock. The unread message count won't be seen on the lock screen
Hello - I come from a Galaxy Nexus and love the S3, but the black backgrounds for the Exchange Email inbox and SMS inbox are not my favourites and I would prefer dark text on a light background. (I know the email messages themselves are black on white - that is good, but I would prefer the inbox to look this way as well)
I cannot find any way to change this within the standard functionality of the current firmware. Is it possible to do this without flashing a whole new ROM? (I have rooted the device but am on a standard build still)
Many thanks for any pointers.
Regards
Neil Gardner
For SMS inbox: open the messaging app, press menu button, tap "Settings", tap "Background style". Done. This is on stock. Not sure about the Email though.
Thanks for the reply - that does change the SMS history just fine - I hadn't looked at the SMS app too closely as it's mainly the email that's frustrating. Still no progress there unfortunately.
Cheers - N
