My Inbox Icon On My Today Screen Is Gone! - General Topics

Anyone know how or why this happened and how to get this back on my Today Screen? I would like to see which email messages have been received and I can't figure out why it just "stopped" appearing on my Today Screen. I haven't used anything that would make it stop appearing.

Try this . .
Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
Is Inbox checked?

...same disappering inbox happened to me after a hard-reset??? the "checkbox" just in the choices under the today settings???

You can also loose you inbox if you have too many today plug ins installed. Cannot recall the magic number but once you hit it the inbox is the first to be removed.
Try unistalling (not just deselecting) a today plug in you are no longer using and see how you go.

If I remember correctly the magic number is 13.

Thank you all for your help. You were correct. The "Inbox" will not even appear if you have too many Plug-In's installed. I deleted one and then automatically "Inbox" reappeared. So, I have it back. Thanks for everyone's help.

Worked for me too--THANKS! BTW, I have the "magic number to stay under" at 13.
One other wierd problem is that I have 2 "Date" plug-ins in my Today check-boxes. When I select them both, 2 Dates appear on the Today screen -- this can't be normal. -it also could've saved me from deleting something else to get my inbox back, maybe. Any fix for this?

ActiveSync Problem

I am having a problem with ActiveSync on my phone an Orange M700 running the HTC P3600 ROM. It was working with no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped syncing. I have tested the laptop with another PPC and ActiveSync notices it straight away.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5 to no avail so I returned to 4.2 and still nothing. I deleted all partnerships in both the phone and the laptop and when I plugged it back in the Windows saw the device as there was a pop up bubble in the bottom right corner but ActiveSync never kicked in.
I have had a look at the ActiveSync settings in the M700 but everything looks fine to me.
I have also been having problems with my 3G connection not connecting and doing the regular syncs it normally does e.g. my personal mail every 5 mins, my yahoo mail every hour and the weather every 2 hours. The only thing that has changed in this time is that I installed Fring, I can't imagine its related but I uninstalled Fring just in case but still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it as I have some new appointments (I'm not sure which ones) in my PDA which I want to get synced before messing around with hard resets etc.
Thanks
Did you delete any notifications of any kind, usually replog files? If YES, then you just deleted your notification to activate Active Sync on your computer. You can solve that easily by returning the file. READ this for the solution: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/blog/index.php?entry=entry051203-201515

I don't think I did that but I tried the file anyway, still no joy. I think my phone is also vibrating when I plug it into the PC now, very strange.

Have you ever used Check Notifications? It is a free software to clear away JUNK notifications.
Link: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
Sometimes, our PPC just creates duplicates of certain Notifications that can cause conflicts with some softwares. Maybe this is what is happening in your device. You can try and download Check Notifications, even though it says it is only compatible with WM 2003, I use it for my HTC Universal (WM5). Just go to Check Notifications settings and tick the 3 choices, run it and CLEAR those pesky bugs.

Right I ticked the three boxes and cleared the issues but still nothing
Normally I'd just hard reset but I am worried about losing appointments I've forgotten I have made since my last sync.

I don't know what else to suggest.
If you do decide to HARD RESET, take a look at this FREE BABKUP program for contacts and calendar events: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=backup
I hate doing hard resets myself, that is why I have SPB Backup configured to do automatic backups everyday at 5AM.
Good Luck...

Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how I am going to progress this. My major issue is that we use GroupWise at work with a third party app to allow the PocketPCs to sync with it. When you set it up it blanks the device before you can do anything, if I wait and import everything after this it usually can't cope with the levels of changes and kills the system on the server.
Oh joy, why wasn't someone looking at the "bigger picture" when we choose an e-mail system.....

Clicking on new messages closes the message?

Hi, when i get a new email and click on it. the email minimizes and returns to the desktop/today screen. but when i click on messages again, I see the email opened.
is this happening to anyone?
this seems to happen in most roms i tried, it usually starts to happen after 2 - 3 days of use.
thanks
I see this is a fairly old post, but the same is happening on my Sprint HTC Touch Pro with WM6.1. I've tried every possible configuration of email servers, deleted and re-setup email accounts, done multiple hard resets, and nothing has cured this problem.
I have a replacement unit coming, as "since everything I've tried hasn't resolved the problem, it must be in the hardware", but my suspicions are the coming unit will act exactly the same way.
my hermes does the same thing. it could just be WinMo sucks like that.

1 new Message in TF3d and "inbox" but all messages deleted?

I'm not sure how it happened. But my TF3d displays that I have one new text message, even though I've checked and cleared all my sms/mms to be sure. The inbox in windows says "Inbox [1]" too, and yet nothing.
I've already tried clearing out all my messages. Restarting the phone. Taking the battery out. Nothin, still saying 1 new message.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?

The download link doesn't seem to work?
I had a stock Microsoft message in my outlook e-mail inbox. At the time I had 3 messaging accounts (so to speak), SMS, Gmail, and Outlook E-mail. That Outlook E-mail account is always there, regardless of if you set it up or use it. It took me a while to find, make sure you check all your folders.
I checked that. It's in my SMS/MMS Inbox supposedly.
But there are no new messages in there.
I HAD the same problem.
I had the same problem. Try both of these attachments.
I don't remember which one worked for me and which one didn't, but my first attempt did not work.
I did have to reset my phone before it worked. I don't know if it matters but I pulled the battery for 2 minutes also.
Hope this helps.
AH-HAH!
The fix unread count exe seemed to do it with a restart.
Thanks!
Another way to fix this without a file is to go into settings/text messages and click the normal mode (or whatever isn't threaded) reboot and the offending message will be there. Once the count has ticked off, enable threaded messaging again, and you will be good to go.
It worked!
I used the FixUnreadCount.zip file and soft reset my phone.
Thanks!

yea it didnt work for me, but once i ran the program and did the soft reset it took about a min. after it booted up to correct its self
Also go into your Recycle Bin in your sms/mms or email accounts and delete those too...they don't automatically get deleted and sometimes will make the counter say 1 message still if those arn't deleted.
this happened to me also earlier today, i got so frustrated after nothing worked that i hard reset......ahhhh!!! so dumb for not checking here
Kick ass!! The FixUnreadCount.zip fixed this same problem for me. I ran the .exe on the phone and then reset it and now it's fixed. I was about to hard reset this damn phone. I was running MightyROM by the way when this problem happened, NOT the stock ROM...not sure if that matters.
I had this problem too. All I did was use File Explorer, Go to My Device > Windows > Messaging and delete everything in there and that did the trick.

I used the FixUnreadCound file and rebooted and after about 20 seconds the count in the text and email were gone.

FixUnreadCount.zip worked for me on my HTC Tilt 2 after a reset.
Power cycle didn't help, but the "red button" reset did.
Much appreciated!

[Q] My Contact List Reset?!

Woke up today, went to my call history and noticed that it didn't list any names. Instead it had everyones phone number. When I clicked a number to dial, it showed their name. So I reset the phone, numbers still showed. I cleared the list, and dialed a new person. Everything back to normal.
Then, when trying to call someone later on today, I noticed something else. All the links that I had made (Live + Facebook contact) were unlinked.
Anyone have a clue why this happened, or has anyone else experienced it? I hate having to relink everyone again.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that had this happen
Went thru the same process of rebooting & pulled the battery
The call history just mysteriously lost all association to the names?
New calls are showing up ok
I'm guessing that some AT&T system reset is the culprit

+1 on this bit.
I've noticed that very occasionally those contacts whose name doesn't exactly match their Facebook accounts become unlinked and I have to re-link them. I have no idea why that happens and have never been able to attribute a cause.
Although not the same, I am having a problem with my contact pics on the People tile on the homescreen. It looks as though all the pics I added myself are showing up as blue squares , Facebook pics are showing up ok. When I go into my contact list all pics show up correctly.
This happened to me too once, I figured it was just a bug... That and the call history being delayed at times... Calls won't show up for a few minutes randomly... Had only happened about two or three times.
I had the same problem last night, too.
I guess that it is the problem came from Hotmail server. It was corrupt when syncing and then all my contacts were reset and sync again. It made Live contacts and linked-facebook contacts unlink...
Cmon MS, hotmail must be stable like rock or user will have this problem again
HAd same Problem
Just about a hour ago all my contacts unlinked and i als lost all my home screen contacts they just vannished from my home screen.
Did not encounter this issue but I do agree MS should improve the live mail service...
At least make contact editing as good as gmail...
i also encountered this waking up this morning.
Are any of you guys using Micro-SD cards? That could possibly be the cause of the problem
i am on a trophy, so yes, it's built into the phone with a micro SD. given the amount of people who all experienced this at about the same time, i would say it would be something to do with the server.

I have the phone over a month and not having this problem so far until yesterday... So I dont think it is the SD Card problem...
/I have a HD7
About 2 minutes after my first post I noticed that this exact problem had happened to me (my gf had called, and in the call history it simply listed her number and not her name). I remembered that last night while configuring my email settings, under my windows live account it said "not synced" or something like that. Naturally, I did a long press and hit "sync." When it synced, it must have for some reason set everything back to default. This was probably the cause of my problem; I agree it must be some sort of Hotmail/Windows Live sync issue.
Happened to me too, 4x already. My Samsung Focus Windows Live contact becomes unlinked with my previously linked facebook contacts everytime i will sync in hotmail tile. I am annoyed as I have to linked my facebook contact with windows live contacts everytime. Do you have any idea why is this so?
Could someone send this feedback to MS?... Cause my English is not good enough...
I'm on the Omnia 7, bought it especially not to have microSD problems. And seeing how it all happened in this past day, it's gotta be a Windows Live problem. Unless we all installed the same person
It's kinda freaky, Microsoft being in total control, they could just brick all our phones overnight while we sleep.
Throw my hat in the ring too...all contacts in calls list appear as phone number and all contacts/facebook links unlinked. Not too big of a deal but kinda weird.
Happened to me too over the weekend. HD7 with original SD card. Lost my contact tiles from my start screen, lost all links between contacts and facebook friends where the names weren't the same.
If this happens again I'm going to change all my contact names to match the facebook names so they match themselves up, because doing it manually is a pain.

Add me to the list. Also emails I deleted on my Hotmail inbox are still showing up on the phone.

"This is a lost phone" message intermittently

My Oneplus gets "This is a lost phone" message intermittently every day with my loud ringtone. It stops when I press the okay button. This is despite me having it in silent mode.
Since this happens only during my office hours, where I have to leave my phone silent always, I am unable to investigate it rather than just press the OK button and it disappears.
I have my device manager activated in the phone. Thought it was previously my Theftie app which was activated, which I deactivated but the message keeps coming on every day.
Any way how to stop this?

just to rule out, can you remove both and see if you still get the message ? or have you already tried that ?

next time as soon as the incident happens , can you check which wakelock was running ? Use wakelock detector app from google play.
It would be interesting which application is invoking this event !!
I did download wakelock detector but it says it needs root access since KitKat upgrade. Maybe will root it when time permits.
Meanwhile had another instance of the event, when I received a text from an number not in the Contacts. If I remember correctly, it happened yesterday as well when I received a text from a number not in Contacts list.
Really annoying that it happened during a meeting.
Where did you get your phone?

Got it in US, but I have now moved back to UK though.
Still have the same problem, but have figured out that it happens when I receive a text from a number not on my contacts list. Have not had a chance to root it though
Make a Backup and do a factory reset.

Just throwing out ideas here, are your Locations turned on ? Maybe since it came from the US and you moved to the UK it "sees" that you are not in the US anymore and that is why it is doing this ?

I do have the Location turned on most of the time. Even when I got it in US from oneplus directly, I have used my same UK sim there as well on roaming.
I have done a backup and reset and it sill happens!
Block the text number and uncheck the settings in device manager and change your gmail password. If it still works after a factory reset and make sure you do not restore your software. It sounds like what I do to my son when he does not pick up the phone I make it ring and I do it through device manager because I have his info...
Did you initially bought it from OnePlus, or did you buy it from another user?

How many text numbers can I block? SInce I am in sales, I get many calls and texts from numbers not in my contact list.
I have unchecked the settings in the device manager and deactivated it. Changed the gmail password a week ago as well, and the problem persists

Yes, done all that is possible. Only thing remaining is rooting the phone (i dont want to unlock the bootloader for that thought)
You could try doing a Backup und then a factory reset.
Not sure if you already got a custom recovery

Quit sure you can block quite a few... If all of what we have suggested still does not work may I suggest you selling your phone and buying another one. Hey try putting sim card in another phone and see if that phone has the same result
