[Q] SMS Count Wrong - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The stock text messaging app always shows 1 unread message on its icon. It's very annoying and I can't find a way to make it go away. Go SMS makes you buy the premium app to sync facebook photos and Handcent is ugly as sin and doesn't seem to handle FB pics either. Only the stack app does this right, so I want to use it. but I can't get the unread count to go away. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've seen reports of this problem on other forums. Solution there was a factory reset unfortunately.

I saw that somewhere, too. Every time I see that as the solution, I just shake my head.

No problems here. Instead if going straight to factory resets you can try force stopping it and restarting it in app settings

Good idea he could also try clearing cache and deleting settings for the messaging app.

Unfortunately, I already tried those things and no dice. Well done, Motorola :-/

checking in... same issue.
My issue is not so persistent but still noticeable. I considered it an annoyance but becoming more and more disheartening.. I haven't pain close enough attention as of yet but will begin to. That being said, grain of salt here.. seems to be happening mostly when a text comes in while plugged into my pc via usb. The missed messages indicator seems to go away after viewing (of course) then letting ten or so minutes pass..
As stated tho, i haven't been paying enough attention to it to say these are solid observations.

Even though you'd have to redo your home screens, this is better than a factory reset - but clearing the data on the stock launcher should get rid of that.

Same here! bloody annoying.
I dont have any problem
Me too wished I hadn't bothered.

Glad I am not the only one, so fare I tried to disable incoming text notifications and then reboot. After reboot I enabled them again. changed nothing. Thing is I find the problem to be totally random. Dose it sometimes and its not for the same contacts.

I have had the same thing with the notifications, but along with it I am not getting notifications for half of my texts, I only notice I have some of them my manually looking into the messages app.
Tried rebooting, changing the notification settings etc and nothing works!

Have the same problem. Exactly every second SMS does not have any notification! Sometimes it vibrates, but there is no notification in the statusbar...so I have to open the SMS-App.
Now I will miss every important SMS and I have to check all 10-20min to be sure -.-
Hope there will be a fix!
Got the same bug. This is a major bug, and htc have to relese a bugfix asap! This bug makes the phone useless. Can't thrust the phone anymore...

I guess im really lucky. I updated and have had no problems whatsoever. Not even that 100% CPU bug. I couldnt be happier. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i followed hamdir's guide to install the update and keep root and s-off.

The sms-bug isn't there all the time. I've only got two txtmsg that didn't trigger the alert. And I got a lot of txtmsgs. But the two that didn't trigger the txtmsg receive notification was two important txtmsg, so I no longer can trust my phone.
I do not have the 100 cpu load issue. So it has nothing to do with that. My battery is just as good as I think a battery should be on a phone in this class. The only thing that really drains my battery is the Angry Bird Seasons. But I'm addicted, so I keep on playing

Same here, its completely random which messages it happens with and it is not the same people that trigger it too. So far I have seen no pattern to the messages with, for example it is not every fourth message etc, they happen at random intervals and the only time I know there is one is when I actually open the inbox.
This needs fixing asap!
Just like to say 1. I have a dhd sim free on official Rom. 2. With regards my notification problem the best way to save you having to clear the notification bar after you read the text is it to access your text via notifications bar in the first place.

looks like i spoke too soon.. someone sent me a sms and i hadn't seen it cause the phone didnt notify me. Only when i went into the messages app it showed :/
edit: and now im getting the notification stuck in the bar at the top HTC need to get on this.
its a very random issue. started happening to me after i deleted my HTC sense account (and then reinstalled it) after doing the OTA update to deal with the 100% CPU issue
Can confirm that trying a different messaging app from the market will fix both problems. The one with stuck notification in the bar and the one where you don't get a notification. Just make sure to disable notifications in the stock app.
Ty! I'll try that out later.

Facebook App Problems

So I let my little brother sign into the Facebook app on my phone and thus the problems. I signed him out and logged in with my stuff, but I'm still getting updates in my notification bar from his account and when I click them, it just takes me to the app with my account logged in and doesn't show me anything new. I've tried clearing out the app data and even uninstalling/reinstalling the Facebook app to my phone with the same results. Anyone else had the same or similar problem, or have any suggestions about how to fix it?
Bump as I've not managed to get this fixed. Hopefully will get some more eyes on.

I dunno Don. That's an odd one. If you've cleared the data it should have done the trick. Maybe something gets stored to the sdcard. I know that during the installation a notification gets stored there. I wonder...
That's kind of on the lines of what I was thinking too but I haven't been able to find anything on there that seems linked besides the sound. I'm going to keep working at it and I'll post any progress I make here for future reference.

Messaging app opens up different app?

Had this happen quite a few times.....sometimes when I click on the messaging app it opens up a random app that I have open in the background.....can't seem to fix it...occured on both launcher pro and adx or w/e the other launcher app is called....any solution?
This has been reported before. I remeber once, someone had set a swipe function accidentaly on their messaging app shortcut in the dock, and that was the culprit. I also remember this happening to people on touchwiz launcher, but it's never happened to me. If the swipe thing isnt the problem, the I would reccomend downloading an app such as Handcent sms, go sms, or chomp sms. Hope something in this post helps you.

Have you tried restarting? I know it sounds stupid but a lot of weird glitches can be solved by a simple reboot. If that doesn't help a cache/davlik wipe might.
Texted while driving
A restart does fix it....in fact an task manager end all works as well....just kinda annoying. If it happens again ill try a different SMS and see if I have better luck.
Normally this only happened on DI18, I never saw it happened after the 2.2 builds came out.

this is quite annoying, sometimes I have to hit the back hit hundreds of times, backing out of my entire history of the day at times. It happens with other apps too. But messaging is my most used one. I think it is related to holding home, and selecting the text app while in another app.
I've had this issue too... welcome to samdroid, the beautiful world where samsung has changed everything and broke it
Happens to me all the time to. Have to reboot. Only started after 2.2 never on 2.1. Wish someone could look into this as I know nothing about phone software. I did not use the ota to update I did a .exe update so it was clean.

I've experienced inside the messaging app, it'll sometimes open up somebody else's conversation. I believe it's just a glitch or my phone lagged at the time I pressed the screen. Good thing I notice it before I sent unnecessary texts. haha

CM10.1 & Notifications

First off I'd like to say I believe this is an extremely isolated issue, but I would appreciate any and all help.
I can't seem to get notifications working for snapchat. I've looked around before since I had the issue in CM10 with my note, but I've found nothing on the subject. I realize not many people here probably use snapshot, but the way it works is that when a snap is received, the screen turns on and a notification pops up in the notification bar. Since I flashed CM10.1 today I receive the snaps but my screen does not turn on and no notification appears.

I've noticed this has gotten quite a few views and I just want to post the solution. For whatever reason, if you use titanium backup to restore the app it will not be able to display notifications.
To fix it just reinstall the all through the play store.

Lock screen problem after calling someone

After I called someone, I got this bug that is bothering me when I have I unlock my phone .I think it has to do with the pandora app. Please help

I have the same issue and I'm trying to figure it out. I suppose we can help each other narrow it down. Are you able to reproduce this? So far I haven't figured out how to make it happen and thought it only happens randomly. The only way I figured out how to get rid of it is by pressing pause then unlocking the phone.
Next time you get this, post a list of running apps.
Last time this happened to me what I had running was:
Settings
Facebook
Messenger
MightyText
8tracks
Accuweather
Pandora
Media
ExchangeServices
GooglePlayServices
GoogleServices
Gmail
When I killed the MightyText app the lockscreen bug went away. You wouldn't happen to have MightyText on your phone, would you? Or something that syncs your SMS's and phonecalls to a tablet.
My suggestion is to recreate the bug then go through your Running Apps list one-by-one until you disable the app that is causing this.
Somehow it went away after I used the clean master
