iOS 4 SMS Badge Bug

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same thing I am. I will do my best to explain what exactly happens.

When the sms app is "running in the background" and I receive a new text the blue circle icon does not pop up next to the new text and the contact that I received the new text from doesn't shoot up to the top of the list on the main sms page. If I then manually go into that text it will update but the badge on the home screen sms icon will be stuck and will keep going up for every new text I receive. Also the number next to the word Messages on the main sms page will consistently show (1) next to it no matter how many texts I have received.

The only way to temporarily fix the issue is to go to the multitasking menu and close the sms app and then re-open it. Once I do that all the texts that I received prior to closing it will then be updated with the blue icon next to it and then can be marked as read.

I tried to search but was unable to find anything similar to my issue. I did read somewhere that having the phone jailbroken and using an app like bite sms can screw up your sms count. I was using bite prior to updating to iOS4. The reason I feel like that wasn't the cause is due to the fact that it happens to every single text I receive. It is not an issue that is linked to receiving texts from one particular person.

 

What do you not comprehend? Whether this is the final version of 4.0 doesn't really matter. The reason for my post is to see if anyone is experiencing the same thing I am. If no one here is having the same type of issue I can probably assume that it happening due to my previous jailbreak and using bitesms.

 

Thanks for the replies. I will give a restore a shot and see what happens.

 

I actually was able to fix my problem just by setting up as a new phone. Something must of stuck around from the jailbreak that was throwing off the counter and all the other issues I mentioned above.
