BB Curve 8500 :: SMS And MMS Icon On Bottom Row Problems - Constantly Indicating Unread Message
Jan 7, 2010
I currently upgraded to the new BlackBerry Curve 8530 after having the Curve 8330 for 2 years. For the past week I have had nothing but problems. I pulled the battery out 4 times over the past week, and now I am having some problems with the SMS and MMS Text icon. When my phone receives an SMS or MMS message I click on the icon and read the message, and either respond or do not respond. Then when I back out and go back to my home screen, the SMS and MMS icon still indicates that I have an unread message. There is NO SMS or MMS indicator icon at the top of my screen to alert me of how many messages there are, because there are no new/old unread messages. I tried pulling the battery out twice, and it corrects the problem for a little bit (maybe an hour) and then reverts right back to it's annoying ways.
Please help me out. I attached a photo to this discussion so hopefully it will make it easy for whomever is responding to fully understand what is going on.
I'm not onto my second BB8520 and this on T-mobile UK contract. Everything is fab, however, BB Messenger constantly displays 1 new message icon...There definitely isn't. Tried hard reset 4 times with no luck. Been like this for 4 days and it really irritating plus with the red notification light flashing all the time it can't be doing my battery much good either!
Is anyone else having the same problem? And how can I solve this? I really don't want to have to either wipe my phone or remove BBM!
i went into my text messages- and highlighted them all i accidently clicked mark unopened. then pressed delete (as originally intended) now i have icon saying i have 47 unread sms msgs but of course everything is gone so i cant bloody get rid of anything!
My 3720c constantly displaying unread sms, but there are no unread messages in any folder. I think that the problem appeared when a part of a long message hadn't been recieved, and I deleted the message.
I tried to:check internal and SIM storage for unread messagesrestart the phoneupdate the software I Didn't try and don't want to:delete all the messages
I've had two Blackberry, but I'm new to the community. I traded my Pearl for the Curve 8330 a couple of days ago. The new message icon is constantly showing up. It started with three, then four, and now six. I have read several forums and have tried pulling my battery several times. I have even deleted my e-mail account and set it up again. I have gone into all my folders to see if there is a message hiding somewhere. I can't find anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Aside from doing a factory restore and/or calling Verizon does anyone have any suggestions on how I can reset the counter? By the way, my carrier is Verizon!
For a week now, my torch has the icon in the upper bar that improperly shows how many unread msgs I have. I have read all my messages and it always shows me one unread.I realize it's not a serious issue, but could somebody offer advice on how to fix this? Seems like the OS hiccuped somewhere. Batt pull does not help. Otherwise the phone works perfectly
Randomly, my bold restarted by itself (hasn't done this once since I upgraded the OS 3 months ago). Ever since it restarted, it's had the unread message icon saying I have 4 unread messages. I went to every folder and marked all prior unopened and checked to makesure nothing was unread. The icon wouldn't go away, it even stayed with the read star. Overnight, I got 6 new emails, so it told me I had 10 unread messages. I deleted the 6 new ones, and the icon is still there with the read star saying I have 10 unread now
Any ideas? I pulled the battery already twice and nothing
I have an unread message icon with a little red circle on my screen. Tried pulling the battery. Have checked all my messages and folders. There are no unread messages. Even updated my Blackberry Desktop.
I have an errant "unopened" mail icon, It was on my old BlackBerry (an 8830) and when I got my new BlackBerry 9650, all was good, until I completed my enterprise synchronization, and guess what came back? now heres the rub, it shows (and as it did before) That it is a "Optimum on Line" email, not the email that is pushed by my enterprise server. So neither tech support will own the problem.
At the top of my screen the unread message icon always displays more messages than exist. Currently, it says I have 1 unread SMS message. When I receive an SMS it will go up to 2. This will happen and it will say 20 bbms or 3 emails

There's this notification icon in my screen and it looks something like this image I uploaded (that'll be the one right next to the unread message envelope icon). Can someone tell me what that is and how I could retrieve (and eventually get rid of) it?
The facebook icon is permanently on my screen telling me I have 2 unread messages, but I haven't? How can I get rid of them? I have de-installed and re-installed FB but no joy!
I have a few email addresses integrated with Blackberry OS 5.0.0.459 on the Curve 8530.
I set the inbox settings so that some of the email addresses do not show in the Messages inbox, however, they still show a small icon notification at the top tray when there are unread messages there.
How can I customize the unread messages notification tray icon so that it doesn't show unread emails from certain email accounts?
I have searched around and found many problems faced regarding the email icon showing unread emails but in actual fact there are none. My problem however is the opposite of that - there are unread emails but it is not indicating as such.
This is specifically for Gmail as all my other email accounts are showing unread emails just fine. It is a minor issue but it does get on my nerves trying to figure this out.
Recent activities include upgrading OS to OS5 and changing telco, doubt if these are the cause of it. I have tried deleting and creating the email account and battery pull to no avail.
Just upgraded from 8330 to 8530. I am not a moron with these phones, but I can not get an unread email notification to disappear. I have no new messages, I have done repeated battery pulls, I have changed themes, I have gone through all my email accounts. I havd searched through this board, and don't see any other ideas that might solve this issue. At this point the little #1 at the top of my screen is my arch nemesis. Anyone have any other ideas?
I have been facing this problem since quie some time. I am using BB Cuve 8520 and everytime I restart my phone, one of the old text messages is shown as unread. I have to read that message and then the notification goes from the screen. It happens everytime I restart my phone. (hard/soft reset)?
I am having a problem with Blackberry messenger on my handset where the text box at the bottom of the screen goes blank where you type and I can't see the text I have written. And orange customer services are near enough useless and have told me to ask here about this problem.Also sometimes the cursor moves and no text is written while typing.I have un-installed the application and re-installed it with no help and performed about 10 hand held wipes.Please can someone give me the solution to this problem before I take a hammer to this phone.
I have a text/email notification ikon displaying but I checked my messages and emails and all of them r read. So I dnt know why its showing I have a new message when there's nothing there. I scrolled through all my messages! I tried doing a battery pull and that didn't work either !! Any suggestions?
I tried opening Device manager (not desktop manager) to fix the gps problem on my phone per a thread i found right here on crackberry. I downloaded all the necessary software to do the fix, but when i open up Device Manager, i only get an icon on the quicklaunch bar on the bottom right side of the screen, once i open it, all it shows me is "Properties" and it doesnt open the actual Device Manager.
I'm a relatively new Smartphone user and am still getting used to my 8530 Curve. Over the last couple of days whenever I go to do anything on my phone (check facebook, check email, switch to another application, etc) I get this little black clock in the middle of my screen and it's like everything freezes for a few seconds. What is this and what does it mean?
I have 2 saved Wi-Fi profiles (work and home), and both work fine. At the moment, however, I'm connected to my work profile, as verified by the SSID being displayed at the top of my home screen on the phone and it showing as 'Connected' in the Wi-Fi setup options, however the 3G icon on the screen is lit up and the Wi-Fi icon is dim. So on the one hand it says I'm connected but the icon is not lit up as it usually is.Also, one of my apps doesn't connect to its server and says I need to establish a connection first, so I'm wondering if I'm not really connected.
When calling there is an icon on the top row I do not know anything about. from right to left there is the signal strength bar then the volume indicator then this strange icon which is a box with five little circles across it. What does that box with five little circles in a line across it mean?
I am seeing a new icon appearing in my home screen from last night. The new icon is appearing where I see any new msg or email icon shows up. The new icon looks like a black circle with a arrow coming in. Can anyone tell me what is that alert for?
I have an icon on my 8520 which is a little circle with an arrow going in. Looks like a red star on the outer circle where the arrow crosses the circle. At the moment it has a 1 next to it also. Kind of looks like a firewall for mail? That is a complete guess on my part though, anyone have an icon like this? I have also lost my caller ID but think this is not related and is my provider rather than phone settings, they are all correct.
I recently installed the "mylookout" application with the AntiVirus scanner, not sure if it is connected with this at all?
Can anyone help me? I've only just got my BB and I downloaded the BBM app, hadn't added any contacts etc yet but this morning for some reason the icon isn't appearing anywhere on the home screen, in any of the folders.I tried to delete the app through "my world" on BB app centre, but it said it couldn't?
I just plugged my blackberry into my computer so I could try syncing my music. In the process, the icon to lock the keypad disappeared from my home folder. I need it desperately because I always call rando people when the phone is in my purse. How do I reinstall this?
