Hi,

Bit of a me too here, but I am having exactly the same problem. No "Message received" white alert box - only a red star next to the Inbox on the messages screen.

I've had it about a year and it's just been like this now for about a week. Any ideas?

Zainman,

I finally solved the problem by performing a 'hard reset' ('soft reset' still didn't work).

I'm not sure if this is what you meant when you said you'd formatted the phone. I followed the instructions at: http://www.filesaveas.com/7610.html , specifically:

The method of performing a hard-format, i.e resetting it completely to factory defaults and removing all data, is as follows:

1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, * button, and '3' button
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone
4. When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons

This cured it for me but be sure to backup anything on your phone (e.g. contacts etc).

Phone runs 100x faster now too :icon14:

Hope this helps.
