SMS Notification Won't go Away

Hi all,
I'll go ahead and post everything i did up until the point where i first encountered the problem (all of the following occurred within 3 hrs)
So i got my Sprint blackberry Tour 9630 over a month ago and had the 5.0OS. There was an upgrade to install (5.0.xx.xxx) and i went ahead and installed it.
After installing the newest OS i saw that there was a notification coming from my "Social Networking" > "Facebook"
At this point i wanted to go ahead and delete the Facebook app from my phone since checking it from the default browser is a lot better than the application. I went into the application settings and deleted facebook from my phone at which point it prompted me to restart my phone.
I restarted my phone. It made me go through the initial setup (teaches you how to use the trackball etc). I decided to skip this part.
HERE is the part i need help with....................
I had an SMS notification letting me know that i had a new text. However, when i opened SMS i could not see any unopened items. I scrolled down through all my messages and nothing! I decided to delete all my threads of text messages to see if this would fix the problem BUT it didn't! I figured that i needed to restart the phone once again in the hopes that it would recognize that there indeed was no new sms message.
On the second restart attempt:
I skipped initial setup again and now had an SMS Notification for 2 text messages. I opened SMS and saw 0 messages (i had already deleted them all).
I tried connecting it to my desktop manager and manually cleared all the data within SMS and MMS (in case MMS was secretly the culprit) and the notification is still there!
Is there anything i can do? I know it's not a big deal but having my phone always telling me that i have new SMS messages will be deceiving and eventually frustrating.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcme to the cmmunity supprt frums
1. Try going to your message folder... press option or menu button.... go to view folders and delete each section. (including sent files)
2. Check your voice mails and make sure there are not any unlistened to messages.
3. Erase your missed calls.
4. Try removing your battery - then replacing it - allwing your phone to reboot.
This is just a start....

Mysterious Voice Mail Notification Won't Go Away

New mail notification won't go away...

Hi there!
I'm using MacOS 10.7.4 and Mail 5.3 on a 13" MBP from 2012.
Lately I experience the problem, that the new mail notification (those little red numbers on the mail icon in the dock ) won't disappear after I read the mail.
When I quit mail completely and start it up again the notification is gone...
This behaviour is pretty new on my machine.
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did restart the dock and will let you wether that solved the problem!
It'll take a day or two until I'm sure the notification will be gone for sure after I read an email because the problem didn't appear on a regular basis.

Mail notifications won't go away

Hello-
I have an iPhone, iPad, and Mac that all access my iCloud email account. I've encountered a problem where notifications from Mail will not dissapear from my iPhone when I read a message on my iPad or Mac. Strangley though, the mac updates. For example, if I read a message on my iPad, the notification goes away from the Mac but does not go away from the iPhone - but, if I read a message on my mac, it doesn't dissapear from my iPhone or iPad.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

I have now sorted this out - any kind of deleting didn't work, but using the "cut" command from the mail menu bar did.
Thank goodness, it's been driving me mad...

Message Notifications Won't Go Away, And More...

So my girlfriend's Curve 8900 is getting on our collective last nerve. About a week ago she noticed that message notifications kept builing and building regardless of whether new messages are coming in. Over the period of two days it said that it had over a thousand new messages, but there were none.
So, I tried battery pull several times, even pulled the SIM card. Eventually plugged it in to the computer to try to rebuild the message database in the desktop manager, and discovered another problem. Desktop manager sees the BB, it gives me a PIN and everything. But when I try to go to Backup Restore-->Advanced I get "there was a communication error between the device and the desktop manager." Trying to update the Curve gets me the same error. This is on a Vista Laptop, btw. Tried all this out on my iMac, with the same results which says to me it has to be the phone itself.
No settings have been changed in the last few weeks. No new apps have been installed.
I'm getting the feeling that this is gonna be alot of trouble. Any and all help would be greatly appriciated, I'm out of ideas.
btw-contacted tmobile, they were absolutely zero help and knew less about this thing than I do.

It's a slightly differnet error message and on Windows XP but try following the steps in this KB article

Mail Delivery System Notifications won't go away

Hi all
Tiger 10.4.11, MacBook Pro, Apple Mail.
I have several Mail Delivery Status Failure notifications that I cannot get rid of. I delete them, they go in the trash, but I go into any other mail box and when I come back to the inbox, there they are again. Right now I have 5 separate messages, all exactly the same. The problem is that I e-mailed someone something that was too big for their server and got this as a notification. But I can't get rid!
I've junked my envelope index, and re-imported and rebuilt the mailbox. I've deleted off my server (they don't re-appear there) and can't think what else to try.
Any help please?
Thanks

E-mail notification won't go away

In the past 72 hours I have noticed that the little red number to tell me how many emails I have, won't disappear. At first it was just a 1, and now it's 2. When I actually have new mail, say 4 new ones, the number will read 6, i dump those or read them and the number goes back down to 2.
I've gone on the computer, and actually cleaned out my mail box. There is literally only 7 emails in my inbox. I can see that there are no new ones, but that little red number still mocks me.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

Try deleting and recreating the account on your iPhone.

My read imessage notification won't go away. Help!

I have tried everything to get the notification off. I deleted all my messages, reset all the settings, did a complete restore, restarted the iphone, and nothing can get that imessage notification off. I don't want to disable the notification because I like knowing when I get messages. Any help would be appreciated.

New text message notification won't go away, but there are no unread text messages

I've tried turning the phone off and on again about a million times. I've tried deleting the text message thread that it should have been talking about. I've restored my settings, I've erased the entire phone and then restored from itunes... and IT'S STILL THERE. Stupid little red "1" in the text message icon. When I click on messages, it just opens to the screen showing all your threads. I've obviously checked all, and there are no unread messages...and even if there was 1 unread message like it's saying, when I click on messages it should open up directly to it, but it doesn't, because there isn't one.
Don't know what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions or heard of this before? Thank you so much, I appreciate all help!

I had this same problem with my phone. I reset it, no messages appearred unread! Eventually I "dragged down" my notification centre at the top of your screen, and it showed my "unread" message! I clicked it and my problem was solved! Hope this works for you!

Reminders Notifications in Mountain Lion latest update keeps freezing on my homescreen and won't go away when trying to close. Please help.

Reminders Notifications in Mountain Lion latest update keeps freezing on my homescreen and won't go away when trying to close. Please help.
I'm using a 2009 Macbook Pro and have installed the lastest update 10.8.1

I've been seeing this for some time now and getting quite sick of it. It happens when I've been away at work for the day and come home to find frozen notifications.
You can fix this temporarily by quitting Notification Centre from Activity Monitor but it keeps happening to me every week or so.

TS3274 I have a pop up notification that won't go away after I hit OK

My son used my Ipad with the app "Find my iPhone" to find his iTouch. We have done this many times with both devices only this time when I open my iPad the notification is there stating "Iphone has been found" hit "OK". I hit OK and the notification doesn't go away, therefore not allowing me to get onto the iPad. I hit is a thousand times. I tried turning it off, charging the battery - it is still there. Is there a way to reset the iPad? Thanks.

Definitely try Grumpy's solutions first. They're quick and easy.
If they don't help, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?

I got a voicemail and listened to it and deleted it. now the little red dot over the phone icon is still on and won't go away. I have iPhone 4 and just updated to 4.3.5. I'm with TELUS in Canada. Any help would be apreciated.

why did you revive a thread that had been dead for two years? next time, make sure you're posting on an active thread.

I had the exact same problem. Iphone 5s on SpeakOut711/Rogers, Canada. There was no voicemail message, and yet the voicemail icon one the phone (dual spools thingy) stays on, regarless of how many times I check my voicemail.
I got it to 'reset' like this:
- Call your own cell phone and leave yourself a voice message.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Check your voicemail from your cell phone by pressing (touching?) the voicemail icon which has the red dot (although it may also work if you checked via land line, but not sure).
- Delete your message.
You will notice that the icon disappears as soon as you hangup your call. It looks like some voicermail notification sync error between phone and the service provider.
Hope this helps someone.

WANT to delete a calendar . . . but it won't go away!

Hi there . . .
I created a calendar that I have given my husband permission to share with me. It, of course, shows up across all of our devices. It all of a sudden went "public" today . . . don't know how! (My husband all of a sudden got a notification that it went public.) I thought, "Well, I'll delete it." So I went to EDIT > Delete > OK and deleted it. EXCEPT AFTER ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS it showed up again under my list of iCloud calendars! So I deleted it like five times and each time, it came back. I won't go away! Help?

Nevermind . . . it seems to have resolved itself!

Q10 SMS Notification failed after update 10.2.1.3062

Hi, I performed a small 31MB update to 10.2.1.3062 on Fido (Rogers). SMS notifications stopped - no LED, audible, Vibrate or spark. Other notifications are fine, performed battery pulls, hub reboots, no luck. SMS shows up in the hub with no notification.

Sad but not surprised to hear of yet more problems with Blackberry software, which is hopeless - the only time I tried to install an update as invited - on the phone - it messed my screen up, which led to my having to have it set back to factory condition. That meant of course that all my 900-odd contacts (I am a TV journalist) were erased. They were of course backed up on my PC - but on restoring my contacts, Link messed them up, putting phone numbers under the wrong name, storing some numbers as many as 5 times, and even deleting whole contact files. Once it also corrupted the backup (I have had to do this 5 times now, because of other faults - notably keyboard failure.) So I uninstalled Link as being dangerous and unstable, and now simply share files one by one (but the system won't share BB10>Outlook Calendar, though it will do Outlook>BB10 Calendar. Bizarre.) The solution is clear: don't touch Blackberry's software with a bargepole - especially as they make no serious offer to help with any problems, unless you pay them - pay them, in other words, for their failures. Roll on my upgrade, and adieu Blackberry. A pity in a way as some parts of the phone (e.g. the browser) seem to work pretty well. The key thing is - don't let the 10 series anywhere near backup data you value.
PS: My BB10 also corrupts contacts internally, but this vandalism seems to be occasional, not wholesale as with Link. Fingers crossed, mind you...
