How can I delete an emergency alert text? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I got an amber alert and a text later. The text will not let me delete it. I googled but found no instructions how to delete. I turn off emergency alerts and tried to delete, but that didn't work.

sorry, go to messages-click on the amber alert-delete from within there, that worked for me

The icon is a red msg symbol with an "i" in it. It won't do anything when I tap on it. When I tap on the other message icons the sender's info comes up, but nothing for the emergency icon. If I tap on the text then the text info comes up.
Ok figured it out. Tap on the actual message, then tap on menu tab on top right corner, then it gives the option to delete.
Thanks tjeeeeee

SMS Today screen # wont refresh

Hi,
I just flashed my ROM and the message icon on the front page (today screen) occasionally shows that I have one or 2 messages in my SMS/Text area, but there in fact is nothing at all inside (folder is empty). How do I refresh and remove the number 1 or 2 icon next to the message image on the SMS today screen?
Thanks for your help.

Sometimes it does this with MMS i found. I just go into the message and fiddle around and then it goes. I dont know if thats the real reason for it but it fixed it for me!

Gotcha And Is there a way you can add custom sounds to the Alarm or for Incoming text messages? I searched other areas of the forums and I converted it to .wav, however, the file still wont appear in the Alarm "Ringtone" dropdown box. This is the same case for text messages under Settings > Sounds and Notifications as well
EDIT: I guess I'll use gAlarm. If anyone has a cab or fix for the SMS/Text issue im having that would be great. I'm using Shpes rom. Thanks.

No there's nothing there. Does anyone have any ideas please? It shows "1" message in the SMS/MMS Inbox but there isn't anything in the folder. On the bottom it displays SMS/MMS 0 Items.
EDIT: I've also tried using the "Clear SMS/MMS message tool under settings, however, there seems to be 1 message stuck and I cant get the icon off my today screen Any help would be appreciated.
May be you can just text yourself a msg , and when you receive your own msg , see if the icon makes any change .

Unknown Address Text Messages

For some odd strange reasons, my text messages are coming in with with the pop up notication from handcent. They scroll across the notifivation bar as they should. But when I go to to the text messages, its not in their thread. Its in a thread from UnknownAddress and it displays a blank message there.
If I go away from my pop up, I wont be able to read the text message at all. The drop down notification window shows new blank text from UnknownAddress
I provided a picture for visual referals.

How do u turn off built in message counter notifications

Hi recently when I receive a message I have a note and icon in the notification bar saying you have unread message this message just started to display itself recently.I tryed many ways to turn it off .the only way to get rid off it is to press clear when scrolling down.
Open the messaging app, click the menu button, select settings and untick notification. This will disable notifications altogether from this app.

Text messages not being marked as read?

Using stock HTC Messages app. Everytime I get a text message and open up the app (whether through the notification bar or the app icon on my homescreen) once I click the back button to go back to the text messages list it still shows the unread bubble. I have to tap into the text message thread again and back out for it to be marked read.
Anyone else have this problem/and or a solution to this?
yep, and it's super annoying =(
When your done reading the text/msg try hitting menu and select mark as read

Txt showing a notification but I don't have any new Txt.

Ok my phone is showing that I have a notification in my Txt messages but I have no msgs. I have removed the Txt from the home screen and deleted all of my Txt msgs but it still shows that I have one Txt. I also cleared the cache and have no notification in the lock screen. Any suggestions? And I'm sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Try rebooting the phone.
I did. I've tried everything short of un installing the factory txting app and I would do that if I could figure out how to get rid of the factory apps.

By a notification in your text messages, do you mean in your notification bar or does the icon show a "1" on the icon?
Mine do the same thing on the lock screen. The way I get rid of those notifications is to go ooen every single message that u get. With the emails I need to delete unopened emails because it will always show that I hsve new emails. For me is annoying because on my fascinate I just ipen a message from the notification bar and it will mark it read.
Opening a text message from the notification bar will mark it as read on this device too.
Swiping it away (or even clearing notifications) does not, never has, and probably never will (as stock).
Shows a 1 over the Txt icon, only after the phone has been unlocked though.

If nothing else, clear data on the messaging app.

I've tried that already also. That's why I'm so confused.

Had that problem, very irritating. This is the only thing that fixed it for me:

I have the same problem
if you are still having problems with this try the following.
go to settings - application manager - swipe across to ALL - scroll down to badgeprovider and clear the data and the restart your phone. This cleared the message icon for me. Hope it helps out some other folks who are having this issue.
