Text message

Hello, when I try to send a new text message, it won't be send. It become a draft in my outlook "Drafts" Folder.
I can only send text messages by replying already received messages.
Does someone know a solution?
Thanks,
Greetz Tjapsor

I know this will sound patronising, have you tried a reset?

Well, i tried a Soft-reset.

When you make a new text message do you create it from within the text message folder or the outlook folder ????
if you do it from the outlook folder you are creating an e-mail instead of a text message

No i am making a new text message...

Anyone else?

when you reply to txt msgs it usually sends them back through the msg centre that sent them. when you send new ones, it uses your msg centre to send them. go into Phone > Menu:Options > Services and 'Get Settings' for Voice Mail and Text Messages. Make sure you have got the correct phone number for service centre (these instructions are for WM5 but i except its quite similar for WM2003)

Go to SMS any folder. Then tap Menu>Tools>Manage Folders... Tap and hold on any folder and choose "New folder"
Hope this helps.

are you using a threaded SMS style? or the classic inbox?
if you are using the normal classic inbox, (in the inbox/messaging appication) go to menu (right soft key)>tools>mangae folders> then tap and hold a folder (for example inbox)>a pop up menu comes up and then tap on New Folder...
it's a bit tricky and hidden (no actual menu entry) so most doesn't know this even exsists..

I'll add to this..
If you have WM6.1 with threaded style Inbox, you can disable threading first (do search how) and then you can "manage folders" to add a New Folder.
After which you can enable threading again.

ahh thanx, the problem was the THREADING. Cos the "new folder" option was greyed out.
thnx ppl

Do You know maybe appkication, which will autamatically (similar as in mail clients) put sms to ritght folder according to rules (phone numebr, subject etc.) ?
Thanks in advance.

Easy Helper SMS Security takes certain messages to a seperate program, which can also be password protected
You set rules for the filtering, ie names, numbers, keywords etc

Need help with shortcut to messaging

Just upgraded to 6800 Mogul that came with WM6.1. I have a today plugin that requires the shortcut to SMS, but the tmail shortcut just takes me to the screen where I chose between email and messaging. Is there a direct link or shortcut to SMS?
I did a search for this, but could not find the answer. Thanks in advance.

There is a setting in the messaging program to not start at the account picker. Just make sure that it isn't set to do so and you'll go straight to text messaging or whatever account u last had opened. Press left or right to move from account to account.

Make a copy of the "tmail.exe" shortcut, or just copy the "Messaging.lnk"
Depending on which explorer you use, I use Resco so I can change the path, but it should look like this:
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" "-to" "-body"
Have that in your properties for the shortcut, if not, open a new notepad file and copy that shortcut and save it as "New SMS.lnk".
this will take you directly to the sms section bypassing the select account screen

a few questions

hi guys
i have a few questions about the HD2
1) can i assign different ringtones to different contact groups
( i did not see it in the group options )
2) i tried to send a file to a friend using bluetooth , in the file options there was a send... option but it didn't specify send with BT , mms , email
and when i tried to send the file it said it was to big ( BT is not supposed to have size transfer limit )
i think thats it for now
thanks in advance

hey for the 2nd one i could help
press and hold the file you want to send and it should come up with a pop-up menu which should have send file vie bluetooth at the top (or something like that)
i recently sent over a 18mb file and it worked fine.

just remembered something
i installed finger keyboard but if i do a soft reset the keboard returns to the default , is there a way to make the finger keyboard be the default
also is there a better keyboard than the finger ?

Use SIP Change to make the keyboard permanent.
There's also touch pal but i don't like it. Finger keyboard is pretty good.

Hiya...firstly for the Group Setup:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Slide the bottom task bar across to the third icon, the "group" icon.
4. Select the "New" text from the option box to create a Group Name.
5. Select the "Add" button and select all the people you want to assign to group.
6. Select "Done" at bottom of phone.
7. Select "Done" for the second time.
You can repeat this for all the groups you want to set up.
For the ringtones:
1. You can either go to "All People" list...as above.
2. Select the persons namefrom the Group you have set up.
3. Select "Edit Contact" on screen.
4. Scroll down the page...you can now assign a "ringtone" from the option box.
And finally, to transfer your contacts from your SIM:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Select the "Menu" text link at bottom right of phone.
4. Select the "Import SIM Contacts" from the pop up menu.
Now have a cold drink and sit back and admire what you have just done!

Seems like you are assigning a ringtone to the contact, not to the group. I can't find a way to do it for a whole group.

Sending mms messages

HI!
Please help me i dont know how to do it i cant find the button. I want to send text by mms and not sms. How can i change to mms messages instead of sms and without sending a file just text??? I have an official wm 6.5 rom...it was easy in wm 6.1....but cant do it now
Thanks!

You would need to revert to a prior version of Arcsoft that had this capability.

Sending text as an MMS rather than SMS
In WinMo 6.5 with Sense 2.5 the SMS and MMS messaging has been merged into a single application. If you want to send text as an mms rather than sms you could try this:
1. Select the contact
2. Click "Send message"
3. Type your text in the input area
4. Click the paperclip to expand the list of attachments and click the image icon on the left hand side
5. This will display your photo album, select one of them (you're going to remove it later on so choose any one).
6. This will take you back the message input area and you'll notice a small version of your selected image with some size information next to it.
7. Press the paper & pen icon on the right of the picture (note you may need to press this twice!!) and this will take you to a mms panel.
8. Add a single blank character to the subject (this will force the message to be sent as an mms rather than an sms).
9. Click DONE and then SEND. The message should be sent as an mms.

So a simple *.LNK file does not work on WM6.5?
So a simple *.LNK file does not work on WM6.5?
My MMS2.LNK;
Code:
44#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "MMS" -to ""
Select the code and copy/paste it in a text file. Then rename the file from MMS2.txt to MMS2.LNK (capitals are for clarity).
If it does work, please let me know. TIA,
