@azakins – that indicates you have two new facebook messages / notifications.

If you have already been through your facebook updates etc then it may be a custom theme causing the problem. If you are using a custom theme I suggest swapping back to a default theme and doing a battery pull. When the device comes back on the notification should be back to normal. You can then go back to using a custom theme again.

I have an annoying Icon above the Menu on the home screen, it has the number 2 next to the Facebook “F”

I have scoured folders etc but can’t seem to budge it, any ideas?

Cheers

Hi guys,
need you help. Have a storm and i have a “wap push icon” that I cannot get rid of. I have tried all of the advice above and it’s still there. I also have a “new email” icon that says I have 3 unread messengers but I’ve gone through the accounts and marked all as open but the illusive three are still at large..please help! I’ve also had replacement handsets and setup the accounts again but still to no avail! argh!

I am an idiot, sorry to bother you. I didn’t think to “scroll up” to find the Browser Message folder. Problem solved and thank you all again.

Thanks for the great information in this string. I have had the annoying globe icon for awhile with a 7 beside it. I have gone to messages/view folder/WAP Push Messages (do not have Browser Messages) and it’s empty. Nothing I do gets rid of the darn globe icon. Anything else I can try or am I missing something? Thanks!

To fix this just do a battery pull while the device is on.

Wait 30 second and then replace the battery – should be all fixed.
