This is the fix for the Verizon users to disable the SMS notification. (Please Sticky)
1. Install .CAB file.
2. Reset the phone.
This is what the CAB is doing for reference:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings SMSNoSentMsg = 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default Options = 0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings DisableSMSDeliveryReceipt = 0

Thanks for the link
No problem.
Just so people don't get confused, the very FIRST registry key that he noted that is changed is the only one necessary to change for SMS Sent Notify. The 3rd one can be turned off/on from within the SMS app itself.
Awesome ... that was driving me nuts. Thanks a mil!
Probably just a quick release to get people fixed.
Thank you! Work's great!
I started off with a stock verizon htc touch pro 2. I mainly used the TF3d sms composer. I was getting the sms sent notification like everyone else. It was annoying, hence i came here.
i installed the cab and then did a soft reboot. The sms sent notification was still there. i installed the cab again (it uninstalled then reinstalled). I did a softreset and still, the sent notification was there.
So i went and did the 3 registry edits manually and now i am only able to use the windows mobile built in sms composer/viewer (which is ugly).
regedits used:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings SMSNoSentMsg = 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default Options = 0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings DisableSMSDeliveryReceipt = 0
Of course the WM version works ok, but the TF3d one was so much prettier. I wanted it back, so i went back and changed the 3 registry edits by hand to what they were originally
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings SMSNoSentMsg = 1
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default Options = 13
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings DisableSMSDeliveryReceipt = 1
I STILL have the windows mobile threaded text messaging (which is ugly). Is there any way i can get the TF3d sms viewer/composer back?
I have the Verizon Touch Pro2, and installed the cab, but I still get that stupid SMS notification every time I send a text. I'm used SMS-Chat program by Vito. The does go away without me having to push the tiny x on the box but still annoying.
Somebody in my office testing a Whitestone is having the same issue.
May have to give this a shot.. .
Does anyone know how to disable the screen from waking up during an incoming SMS? It used to be this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL] DisableSMSWakeUpEvent=0
But that key doesn't exist on the Verizon TP2.
You can also disable these notifications using advanced config tool.

lol good. In any forum, people get annoyed when everyone just expects others to do the work. We here at XDA love to help, but we aren't going to find everything for you.
Advanced Config tool is definitely a must install app. But it wont cure the SMS issues here. Itll cure the SMS notification for built in app, it doesnt affect the t3fd sms app. I think its the tf3d sms app that need to be tweaked or something in there. Maybe its not disabling it.. its how long you want that notification to show up... so someone could put in '0' for zero time and itll just blip and up and away!! But definitely a tf3d sms app issue.

Are you referring to how long you have to be viewing that message for it to be marked read? Because the notifications that the OP posted, have NOTHING to do with TF3d.
Ok. Been awhile since i used PHM regedit. How do i actually get to the registry? Im not a fan of the tf3d SMS platfprm. So im actually interested in disabling it and using the windows platform.

After restoring a backup, the INBOX with 'SMS-inbox, 'SMS-

Anyone an idea how to resolve this problem?
Maybe a corrupt database ...
Which database is for the sms?
must be a really difficult question

I've got the exact same problem, even can NOT receive or send a new sms again.
Did you (except a Hard Reset) find a solution???

didnt work
see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18179&highlight=. I had the same problem, no solution yet, except for a hard reset and manually installing all your apps again. the prog recommended in that thread does not work, it erased all my mail setings, accounts and my mms composer, could not get it back.
hey guys jsut thought i'd update this thread with some well hopefully useful info.
Just had the SMS count to 1, tried fixunread.exe it was still at 1.
then i deleted all the files except the folder (Attachments) in \windows\messaging (not exactly sure what these files are, read it on the forum to try)
the count was still 1.
I received an SMS and the count was still 1, but once i read that message it then went to no new messages
Happy Campa haha
thanks guys

Well, I think I found the problem, it was et to russia, I changed to usa, but the mms goes through, but so far, no one has gotten it. Also, it did not sinatll cabs and such in the begining, as other roms have. And my last problem, is really a few problems...lol. One is that I have contact saved to my sim, and I dont see an option to load from sim card, also when in virtual dial screen, it shows my last call, but I cant just press talk to redial, i have to go to call history to dial it again. I have another Universal, I may try another ROM, and see how much really of a difference it is. I like the MS Pacman game though....lol. Dont want to loose that.

did you set the settings for mms? you can do this by when you are typing your mms. choose menu, options, then message options. then set the correct settings for your mms servers there..

edit your registry to show sim contacts

all new roms do not allow you to redial the last call shown on your device...

Just wanted to ask what rom are you using? The New WM6 PRO roms have SMS/MMS. By standard they are in SMS but if you want to send a MMS you just need to click onto
new -> MMS
and then follow the instructions above.

Hey, sorry if someone already made a thread on this, I wasn't sure what to search for to find out, but here it is:
On the TP2, and I'm sure everyone with this phone has noticed it, while viewing txts in conversation mode, if you leave the conversation open and recieved X amount of messages from that person, when you close out, it will still say you have X number of unread messages, and you have to open and close your conversation X number of times before it shows as no unread messages.
I'm hoping HTC makes a fix for this soon because it is really annoying, but I wanted to see if any of you very capable guys here can make a simple cab fix for it.
I've noticed similar problems and I think it's a bug in the TF3D interface unfortunately.
Holy cow, that was my biggest gripe. I just stopped going into the WM messaging and I use the tf3d instead (click on the first msg from the messaging tab) and stay in there. It works right.
I almost always use the TF3d interface and I still have go occasionally go back in and enter the message again to get the indicator to go away, even after I've responded!
Agreed I hate it. I am not using the HTC interface (went with SPB) but if I get messages and chat in the SMS window it will not mark them as read. I HATE IT!
I haven't tried using the TF3d to see if it works better. I always used the default WM home screen cause I like it better. But either way, yeah hoping they will fix it lol It did it on my TP also, but only after I installed the latest update. With it being on that and on this one, I almost wonder if it wasn't a glitch and maybe it is intentional idk
I have also noticed it too. My old touch pro did the same thing. I have noticed on the touch pro two it changes between two different styles of text messaging screens, it really messes me up because the send button ends up in different spots.
when you're on the sms thread and you're talking to person just use your arrow keys to go up towards the one you haven't read. it'll show a closed envelope to the left of the message and as you press up and pass them the envelope opens up. no need to open and close.
Yes from the SMS inbox that's fine, but from the TF3D interface which is easier to get to than the SMS inbox if you're running TF3D then sometimes you need to read it again.
I was hoping they fixed this in 6.5 but NOPE of course not. WHY THE HELL ARE THERE TWO MESSAGING PROGRAMS!?!?!

You disabled ALL TF3D or just the SMS in TF3d?
I used SBP Mobile Shell as a replacement for a bit, but i had some problems with it too....Are there any other shells out there worth looking at that might correct some messaging issues?
On a somewhat related note, has anyone else noticed that some people you get text messages will be an hour behind? Like you recieve the txt at 5:30pm and it shows as 4:30pm? My TP did this also. I don't know if there is a setting or something...
dont know if yall figured this out but the second post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585101&highlight=mark+read has all your answers.

So i have a USCellular TouchPro2 fresh out of the box....
Somehow its stuck showing 1 unread message in the SMS inbox...i have tried deleting every text from the system...installing the InboxExtender and using the mark all read option..the rogue (1) still appears....anything else i can try ??

+1 I wanna know this too except for the TMOUS version. I kinda hate the TF sms. Also has anyone noticed thatg when you type in a recipients name, it brings up ALL their numbers? My Tilt used to only show me mobile numbers for the recipient (which makes sense since land lines and faxes dont typically receive texts DDUUUHHH!!!) but i have on occasion sent a text to a friends home phone or fax!!
+2 I also would like to know if i can make WM my default SMS.
Greets All,
I am pleased to announce that I am releasing a Proper Secure Box! I know most will say whats proper about it. Very simple, this is activated using the MUI file that is not from the Korean Rom!
Cookers read below for information that could be of use to you and if you need help ready will and able.
Secure Box for ToMoUS Rom 2.13 (And possibly all English roms)
This was something that took time to get it right and functioning correctly. There is ONLY 2 Reg Entries that activate Secure Box, plus the activation of Secure box in the MUI file.
Reg Entries to Activate Secure Box:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Jataayu\Messaging]
"MessageServiceComponents"=dword:000005FE
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging]
"HTCDevice"=dword:00000001
The reason why some got Secure Box to work and some didnt, is cause these two keys are the main keys HD2 and TP2 look for. The MUI file needs to be edited to include the missing menus and ID entries, which are located in 3 sections of the MUI file. If Cookers would like more information please feel free to let me know, will provide the info.
I can do this to any rom version as my guess is for the HD2 Rom 1.66 and up, and for the TP 2 2.07.401 All languages.
To know if the ROM you have is capable of Secure Box, Cookers and Users need to look for at least one xml file: HTCMessaging_Client_PasswordManagement.xml.
If this file exists you can have secure box on your phone. (Non-HTC devices unknown).
Okay some instructions: MUST be installed on device. (Added in 6/09/2010)
Make sure HTC Messaging is NOT running or it will not install. As a failsafe turn sense OFF, shouldnt have to but better safe then sorry.
Import the reg entry in the Secure Box Setting zip file into your registry, then take the .0409 mui file and copy it to your windows folder using Total Commander. Soft Reset, and Secure box will be active.
As for not seeing that xml file, make sure you have show all files checked. and look carefully, it can be over looked.
Bugs: None as of Now
Fixes: Fixed the Error in the MUI file for VIP showing Cancel instead of Delete. Now shows correctly Delete for VIP
Current MUI File Version: HTCMessaging_Client_1_5_20143625_00
Any Questions Feel Free.
***After further Looking I have removed the CAB and placed the files, I dont know why the Cab wont install the file, even with SDKCert run first. Instructions changed!***
UPDATE I have added another ZIP, this includes a video to show you all it takes to enable it using total commander.
MMS Preview Auto Rotate Screen Settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"PlayerType"=dword:00000001
"PlayerFlags"=dword:00000001
"PlayerOrientation"=dword:00000002 (This Entry Doesnt seem to exist in current versions so I add it)
Soundz great
Thank you AD, would be awesome to share your findings. Thanks to Aruppenthal as well
I'm sorry for the lack of communication about this, but I have been working on a bug I found during my testing phase. and before I put this out, I wanted to be absolutely sure it was working. Let me explain in short the bug:
HTC messaging Client as most know, has two communication settings, one for Non-Secure Box, and the other for Secure Box. Now so far when I first found this, I thought I found what I needed, I was wrong. I found one key that activates Secure Box, but there are two keys, (No Secure Mode = 0 isnt it). It seems there is a permission key as well to allow to send through secure box. and to also display properly. When I first modified the current MUI file in 2.13 I had two bugs: 1) sending, 2) it was only working in traditional mode, not threaded. So I was on the hunt as to why, and I think I found the bug, or missing key. I need to do a little more testing before I show all my findings,. and as promised, release the 1.72 Telstra Enabled secure box, the 2.13 ToMoUS Secure Box. I am going to hold out on the 1.78 Korean since I need to translate it.
But its coming as soon as I am absolutely sure, just a couple of more days.
Please let me know of any issues with my current release. Cookers again, as long as credit is given, Feel free to use at will.
Sorry if I misunderstand, will this work for the stock 1.66 ROM WWE?

I didnt say these reg entries will be in your registry, I was pointing out to everyone what makes it active.
The MessageServiceComponents entry does exist, but with a 1406 value, changing this to 1534 enables Secure Box to work properly. without this entry you would only be able to view msgs in traditional mode and not threaded mode. Also your notification would not be your sms highlighted, but your mail tab highlighted.
The HTCDevice entry doesnt exist on stock roms, cooked roms it does, but its to point out to any of the cookers if they didnt know that these 2 entries are all thats needed in the rom to make it work.

I'll double check this md see whats happening. The MUI is the stock htc message client im using is version 1.5 build 2014.3625 thats from the 2.13 release rom. I will report back as soon as I get a chance to check it out, but remember if the HTCMessage.exe is running you will NOT be able to install the MUI. I would suggest doing a soft reset and attempt it again this way you know for sure the HTCMessage.exe is not running.
UNLESS your running custom rom, then you need to see in the task manager if its running, I would also suggest turning off Manila from the settings/all settings/today.

Chris, I think I found the reg entries for this.
Anyone willing to try check to see if you have these settings, if not try them out. based on Chris's comment I am assuming these 3 entries are it, but I'm testing it out as well to see what its about.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"PlayerType"=dword:00000001
"PlayerFlags"=dword:00000001
"PlayerOrientation"=dword:00000002 (This Entry Doesnt seem to exist in current versions so I added it to my phone, the other two seem to have a value of 0 so I made them 1
CONFIRMED The settings above will auto-rotate your mms preview screen before hitting play. Hope that was what you were talking about Chris
What has everyone been doing for changing sms tone and ringtone? Ive downloaded ringtones to my phone with a free ringtone app but i cant load them.
I also remember a while back the only way to change an sms tone with switching one of the origional .wav file to a new one of your choice. Has this changed? Is it possible to add custom tones now?

Hello Floods7
I downloaded some free ringtones using "Free Ringtones" app, the one that has white chroma on blue background (don't know if it's the same
you used).
I was looking for "Yes - Roundabout" and find it. I clicked on the download button and the app went into the "Downloading page".
At the end, I slide to "MyDownload" and I found it there. I clicked on the floppy icon (Save) and finally the app saved the ringtone
in the list you find in Settings menu.
Or you can add a ringtone zia Zune, following this short tutorial:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/start/create-ringtones.aspx.
About adding new sms tones (or email, or other kind of alert), you can use the app wrote before to find them.
But if you want to use them, you could try this way:
to have an unlocked device
deploy "advanced config" into your phone (last version will install inside Settings menu, last position)
go to Sounds
choose your favourite tone (don't worry if Advanced config returns an error)
Unfortunately, you will not find their name, i.e. Yes-Roundabout, but a long number (can't know why......): don't try to rename them.
I tried it using TouchXplorer, but neither Advanced config nor usual Settings menu voice could find them!?!?!
Don't know if it's related to the fact that they're mp3... wp's mystery
Easiest way to do this is with Get Advanced Config for your phone This will allow you to change ANY tone on your windows phone 7. =D
To add ringtones you just need Zune and this handy guide
Hope this helps
Uhm... Today it didn't functioned... When I chose with advanced config the "new" sms tone, hothing happened when sms arrived...
And in Settings menu I could only find no sms tone chosen... Maybe I'm missing some other step (changing something in the registry or, simply, remove and reinstall advanced config... bah)

When you use advanced config it will show nothing in the actual ring settings menu of the phone.
However, when you apply it with advanced config it does save and you click ok. Restart your phone and the ring tone(s) should be applied.

I just tried: after device reboot, I received an sms with the remaining credit
and it didn't rang...
I think my phone is an obstinate opponent as its owner some times is...
I will try converting mp3 to wma, or changing some keys in the registry...
This use to work for me before the new HTC firmware update

Make sure that your Alerts are set to something like Alert 1 or Alert 9 under settings, I found out that if they are set to none, the reg hack won't take place; if that doesn't work then you might have v2 or 3 drivers that have dissabled you from edeting the reg like me.

If you have accepted any current or recent HTC updates to your phone then you have the newest drivers that are imbeded in your firmware. But if you go to Settings, About and then more information; you should see your OS, Firmware, Radio versions.

What has everyone been doing for changing sms tone and ringtone? Ive downloaded ringtones to my phone with a free ringtone app but i cant load them.
I also remember a while back the only way to change an sms tone with switching one of the origional .wav file to a new one of your choice. Has this changed? Is it possible to add custom tones now?

Hello Floods,
did you try this way? Summarizing it says we have to overwrite the already present alert tones... Not tried yet by my side, just found it...
