a few questions... - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I'm using a:-
XDA II
ROM: 1.66.00WWE
RV: 1.08.00
which i bought 3 days ago.
I've read the manual a few times and i have a few questions,
1. i downloaded an mp3 from my desktop, when choosing the ringtone, i can't seem to find the file anywhere. what happened?
2. i installed active sync 3.7.1 as a standard partnership. i can share everything except the contact and a few others. when choosing to share, there are no checkbox next to the contacts. ?!?
3. sometimes, after i entered the number and the sms text into a new msg which is to be sent as an sms, i can never seem to send it. the screen will remain in the new msg window. and if i were to exit, it will be saved in the draft. everytime i click onto the send button, the 'envelope' just flew and the mobile number shifts to the right and thats it. ?!?!?!?!?
hope some helpful soul out there could gimme a hand on this
thanks

You need to go to settings, system, add ring tone, and add it as a ringtone. This moves the mp3 to \Windows\Rings.

Do you have Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express) installed?

Did you make sure to choose the SMS account?

outlook, no... but its not outlook that i need, i basically need the contacts to be in my laptop, thats all.
yes, i've verified many times that it is an sms account...
when in the 'add account' section, i noticed that the SMS has a asterix before it = { *SMS }
does this have got to do with anything?
also
in the windows folder, there is a few files named "MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Notification SMS Protocol (Reiceive Only)" and a few others with similar names
what does this mean?
is there something wrong with the settings ?
could the "receive only" thing be the problem that caused me to be unable to send sms msgs ?
how do i undo that ?

ActiveSync needs outlook for that, whether you need it or not.

The asterix means SMS is the default account.

That's normal, it uses those "files" internally. I have those too.

Could be.
Which SMSes does it NOT send? Only replies to certain people? Only new messages? Does it send replies sometimes/always, but new messages never?
Check Settings(Personal settings)| Phone|Services tab| Voice Mail and SMS(get settings..)|SMS service center

No, that's not it.

new problem
ok
i've solved the previous problems and its all cool now
nothing a hard reset cannot do ;p
but a new thing just showed up
actually its been bugging me since i bought it
here is how it goes:
when the phone idles for a time period, no one can call in
there is no indication whatsoever when this problem occurs
the only way i found out abt it is when the ppl who tried to call me screwed me when i met them earlier
and the only way to resolve this is tru soft reset
can anyone explain what is happening?

Just separate the recepients with a semicolon. Works for emails and SMS.
if you regularly send to a group of numbers you can also do this thru a shortcut. Try this:

Bit weird though just tried it and it worked but each recipient got 2 messages.
yeah.. that's possible but how to select multiple receipents from the contact list without typing the manually..
I think just a matter of clicking the "TO" text and it will brings up the contacts, then you can select all contacts you want to be sent
all semicolon will be done automatically by the phone

Solved: No SMS notifications and missing SMS account in Pocket Outlook

Yesterday I noticed that I don't longer hear the SMS incoming sound (doesn't matter which soundfile is selected).
The message arrives and thats it no indication by either blinking, vibrating or alarm.
The problem only occurres with SMS, Emails and MMS are being notified in every possible way as it should be.
I had this problems once before and ended up with hardresetting my terra. Don't want to do that everytime.
I also noticed that the SMS/Text Message account in Pocket Outlook isn't displayed anymore just Outlook and MMS is avaible from the menu.
To avoid misunderstandigs I do receive SMSes and can open them at any time from Pocket Outlook. Just getting no notification alerts and missing the SMS account settings inside Outlook
Anykind of help or a link is very much appreciated.
Cheers!
EDIT:
Problem is solved now
How did you solve this
Hi,
I've got teh same issue.
How did you solve this?
Many thanks...
It's simple.
Just set "SMSAvailable" in the registry to 1 (enable).
This should solve your problem.
Cheers
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:00000001
wtf
hi,
I think i ve got a more serious problem, with the same effects.
I can't see anything else at Messaging accounts, only a "Setup E-mail" button (no messages). I tried to set up an e-mail, but when i finished it goes back to the account select screen, and still only one option, to add a new email account.
After i press X and reactivate the screen on the Task Manager, i can see the Outlook's Inbox, but when i see the folders there arent messages only the Outlook e-mail.
I added the registry key you said, because there was only one key in that folder (nosentmessages 1), nothing changed.
I cooked this rom in my own, had i something missed to put in? If yes, are there any way to install that thing without recooking the rom?
Using WM6.1 Pro
Thanks

New SMS notifications - won't disappear

Im sorry if this has already been discussed but i couldnt put into words really for a search criteria, im sure im not the only person with this problem.
When an SMS arrives a little green 1 will show by the "letter" on touchFLO 3d, sometimes when you scroll to read the message the little green 1 (or 2 or whatever) doesnt disappear and i have to keep clicking the mail icon, or go into the WM6 message inbox to change it from "New" to "Read".
I think it happens with the email part too, not just SMS.
Anyone know how to solve this, it's as annoying as thrush.
Sorry about my punctuation, i'm from Wales, hehe

Thrush !
It's annoyingly slow to register as read... there may be a registry tweak but a search revealed nothing yet
Thats a Shame I really thought someone else would have susses this with all the tweaks and tidbits.
I am having the same problem but with the email notification. Anyone have any ideas?
I have the same pb any suggestion?
Just try to click on the message and it will be open in the text mode and then close it.
I guess what the last post suggests doesn't work for the OP, at least it doesn't work for me. None of my messages are highlighted as 'unread', yet the 'unread SMS' notification at in TouchFlo doesn't disappear.
Anyone has any idea how to get rid of it ?
Thanks
Have the same problem with email...stuck at 2 even thouch all mails have been deleted or read.
Thanks

May I ask if deleting the account itself remove the erroneous counter?

ResetUnreadCount.cab
Guys,
Check your Outlook inbox to make sure there is no unread mails there. The TF3D does not show the Outlook account but the counter in the mail tab does.
I solved my problem that way.

excellent, that worked. many thanks !
You're welcome, this place is a plethora of knowledge.
unfortunately it turns out the cab works only until i recieve a new message, after that the '1 unread message' notification appears again and stays even after i've read the new message.... so i'm back to where I started.
still thanks for the help. any other ideas ?
came across this bit of software but don't know whether it'll act any different from the cab.
Have you looked through every folder in the account-tree yet? Make sure they're all being synchronised as some Imap\webmail accounts can act funny (Inbox\Menu\Tools\Manage folders).
But perhaps the only thing left is to backup and hard reset (without backing up the mailfolders of course)? And otherwise it means executing the cab every time it happens again..

Mass Texts

Has anyone figured out a way to send a mass text to their contacts without remembering each individual phone number?

twitter.. use seesmic or twitdroid or the like.
Sms barrage works for me. Auto suggest contacts like a regular sms message.

Type the first 2-3 letters of their name and it will show the drop down with their name. click their name and it will fill it in.
Or you can get Handcent SMS. It has an icon on the top left that you click and it gives you a checklist of your contacts to add to the message.

[Q] Can't 'answer' text messages

Goodmorning,
I have Android 2.2 (Desire) on my phone. I really like it, but there is no App2SD. But that doesn't matter in this topic. (If anyone can help me with that, without losing my personal settings right now, i'll be happy ^^)
When i receive text messages, i see all contacts with a +31601234567 nummber. There is only 1 contact that shows me a 31601234567 nummer, without a 'plus' sign.
From that contact, I can't answer the text messages, if I make a new text message to that contact, (so just the number 0612345678) he will recieve it. If I click on the 'Reply' button when it shows the 31601234567 number, he won't recieve it.
I can't find it on the settings, and i deleted the contact on my whole phone, but when i recieve messages from him, it still shows me the 31061234567 number without a 'plus' sign.
He got an iPhone with t-Mobile, i got an HTC HD2 with Hi.
I'm using Go SMS Pro for texting.
does it do it in the default sms client?
is it so hard to ask in this thread?
