Unread message essage badge error

[Rockfletch3000]

My stock message app and notification centre are both indicating that I have 1 unread text message. A little yellow number '1' badge is showing on my message app icon on my home screen, and also my notification centre says 'New Message' ..... but I have read AND deleted ALL my messages! Is this a software fault? I have tried deleting message data, cache and removing the app icon from my home screen but this error will not go away... Please help.

Hey!

Did you tried the way I described? Seem that later, people did some modified steps.

Hi Guys. Have exactly the same problem with my z1 ultra. Went thru all the steps you outlined and initially appeared to fix it. When I re-enabled the app and aggreed to have it as the default txt app the unread icon came back. Went thru the proceedure 3 times.
Not keen on a factory reset!

Don't know than. Worked for me on my Z1 compact. Maybe, it has something to do with updates?! Try with this (uninstalling updates of this two applications then go through procedure) before factory reset.

Give it a try thx

I found this and it worked for me:

On Settings -> Applications Manager -> All tab -> BadgeProvider -> Clear Data

Restart your phone and the notifications should be back to normal.

Doesn't dissappear still for me. On my z5 compact it just won't go away

This is exactly what's wrong but I can't get into application management or badge thing. They aren't there

One more thing you can try is to download this app and see if you have receieved any message from an unknown sender. In that case, try deleting those.

I can't seem to find the option to search in step 3 of this? Thanks..
