8520 glitch on a home screen text messages

Hello,
my phone is approx 2 years old and a few months ago developed a glitch in that it shows the number of the text messages I have, and the number is increasing despite the fact that I have deleted all texts from the phone.
I noticed that when I switch the phone on after a period off, it adds new messages and shows them as "new" (with that sparkly sign at the corner of it).
I wonder whether there is a way of deleting this misleading icon from the home-screen?
Thank you.

Hello LongRiver,
Welcome to the forums.
Sounds like you may have an issue with the SMS Messages database. Try clearing your SMS Messages database then test again with new SMS messages. ****Note**** This will wipe all of the SMS messages from your BlackBerry® smartphone.

On the home screen the Messaging icon says I have unviewed messages but when I go into Messaging, there are no unviewed messages. Any ideas?

I am using my Droid RAZR M phone, and the messaging app that comes installed on it. Under app info it says version 4.4.2-15. I haven't downloaded any other messaging apps.
I have also deleted ALL of my text messages from anyone & rechecked my voicemail. I still have "1 unread msg" and it is driving me crazy! LOL
Thanks for your time!

Nokia E72 - smaller home screen text

i have several calendar items on the home screen and the text, to me, is too large. is there a setting to change the font size on the home screen?

My text size on home screen suddenly increased.....so I went to menu-control panel-settings-general-personalisation-display and then font size.
I pressed help key and it told me to choose to change back to 'default' setting. It asked me if I wanted to reboot...I said yes.
The phone switched off then on again and the font size on home screen had returned to normal (ie. small).
Hope this helps

IOS 5.0.1 glitch with address book and text messages!

Since updating to the newest software, my iphone 4s no longer recognizes contacts in my address book. So when a text comes through it doesn't have a contact assigned to it. Same thing when a call comes through, just the phone number shows up. Also I noticed that some of the phone numbers I have in my address book are not inputed the same as others. example of how it should look : +1 (555) 555-5555. After the update the numbers look like this : 5555555555
I have had to go back in and manually input the +1 infront of all of these phone numbers to even activate a call using that contact number. Also my wifi connection seems to come and go, sometimes recognizing my wireless network when I am at home and sometimes it doesnt. Anybody else having these problems?

I am having a problem similar. My messages come in with the phone number showing if the number is entered without the number 1 in front of it, but when I try to have siri call someone who doesn't have the number 1 infront, she can't call them. It was working fine yesterday before the upgrade
Help.

Pics converted to multimedia in text messaging, Why???

I need help and clarification. When I send texts with a picture attached, I see a small window that says "converting to multimedia". These are not videos or animated clip-arts. The pictures are still shots, like a flower in a vase. The single shot picture is converted to a 10-second slideshow with 3 buttons at the bottom. First button is "|<", second button is ">" or "||", and third button is ">|".
When I look at the history of the conversation, my text with pictures has the play triangle icon on top of it. When I expand the conversation to see each text on its own screen, I cannot continue when I get to one that has one of the "converted" pics when I flip screens. It gets stuck and doesn't go to the next message in the conversation and won't go back to the previous text. I don't get it.
Is there a setting on the Droid Charge to stop this?

CRMorales,
Here's what I'm guessing is causing your problem.
From the home screen Touch messaging and then touch New Massage. Then enter the Contacts TO cell phone phone number. Next press the MENU button on the bottom lower left corner of the phone and when the menu comes up press Attach.
Now you can choose whether you want to attach PICTURES (top of the list) or a Slideshow (bottom of the list). In this example touch PICTURES. BTW, it appears that you can even send an audio message (Record Audio), although I have never tried it.
After you touched pictures your next screen allows you to choose the Picture (only one allowed) you want to attach. At this point you can add your message and then send the message. For practice you can send it to yourself.
OTOH, If you wanted to attach multiple pictures you must choose SLIDESHOW at the point you choose PICTURES in the third paragraph above.
Please let me know how this works out for you!

PS, While playing with this I noticed that in a single conversation containing multiple messages back and forth if I exchanged BOTH a picture message and a slideshow message in the same conversation then all the messages, even single pictures, were then treated like a slideshow when being displayed on the phone's screen. OTOH, in a new conversation when I choose PICTURE to send only one picture it displays as a single picture and not as a Slideshow. Hope this helps you! I learned a lot too.

Can't send or recieve text messages via WiFi

I have a Galaxy S4 and live in a black hole; little or no cell service. If I go outside I might get one bar. This is not my issue though, as I'm used to this and have a land line. However, I would like to be able to send and received text messages via WiFi on my phone. But I get a message that there is no service available, even though I have WiFi enabled and have a good WiFi signal. How can I get my phone to use WiFi for sending and receiving text messages at home?

Text messages go through the voice cellular network not wifi.
You might want to check out a third party messaging app that uses data either cellular or wifi to send messages.

Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

My phone won't show notifications on my home screen or lock screen for text messages

My phone won't show notifications for text messages on my lock screen or my home screen, even thought both are turned on under the settings. Once I go into the messaging app, they will show up as new but not anywhere else. I get notifications for everything else except text messages.

Messages should work with the email address that you use for your Apple ID. You have to be signed into that email address in order for any other email address that you have added to work.
You should add your iPhone number to your Apple ID on the iPad, and then select that as the contact address at which you can be reached and all of the messages between the phone and the iPad will sync again.

Hello Trisha0422
Check to see if Do Not Disturbed is turned on as does not notify with an alert or sound when the screen is locked. Look for the Moon in the upper right hand corner by your battery icon.

OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
Type in
/sbin/mount -uw /
Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
rm /var/audit/current
Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

How do I get a picture of a contact on my text messaging home screen? So there picture comes up next to the text message on the main screen where you can see all of your texts, if anyone knows what I mean

Picture of contact on side of text messaging view.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

I just recently upgraded to iOS 7 and found out that i can no longer hide my text messages on the home screen anymore. Can anyone help with this?

I just recently upgraded my iphone 5 software to ios7 and discovered that i can't hide my text messages as i could previously in ios6.2., can anyone help me out with this?

I had this problem last night as well. Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine. When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal. However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved. I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about. Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW). To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options... One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone. I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time, and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information. When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account. Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up. This resolved the problem for us. I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed. So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.
