how to add sms to the new button

Is there anyway to add SMS to the menu of items listed under New on the Today page?
Ashby

Does anyone know what the write new sms application is called.
With this info I can add "new SMS" to the home page using a launch app.

i never solved it. The sms application is part of the phone dialer and I could not find a way of calling it directly.
I have got used to pressing green, then tools, send sms
Unfortantly the UI of the XDA II still needs a lot of development before the UI get efficent.

The today new items are actually referenced from the Registry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu
So, if someone who actually has SMS in their Today screen New menu could take a look at this location through a registry editor and post the Key and details we may be able to get this to work.

I wonder if this is the reference you guys are looking for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu\{1D210285-ABE7-11d2-8442-0000F87A584A}
Create a new String Value called 'Default' with the value 'Message' (minus the quotes, of course )
I don't know if this is OS Version / Hardware specific, but here is what I'm using:
HARDWARE: i-mate
ROM Version: 1.52.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.06.01
ExtROM version: 1.52.83
HTH.

I usually go for "NEW E-Mail Message", then change the Service from ActiveSync to SMS.
Sometimes it is arleady set to SMS without having to change it. I think this happens if the last message I sent was an SMS, or if I have just received an SMS. I haven't really looked into when it happens.

MMS Composer/Client bug? Need help please

After a while, don’t know how long, the Magician stopped receiving MMS messages. At first I didn’t understand why this was happening.
Today, after some testing I’ve found out that the only way to be able to recieve a MMS was if the Messaging client was left open (resident in memory) and if by any chance, the referred program is closed, all MMS sent to the device are lost, as it doesn’t even start the connection. The only noticeable fact is that the device powers up and that’s all. It really seems like a bug.
Is there by any chance someone that can help me with this problem? Or had similar issues?
The version of the Arcsoft MMS Composer = 2.0.0.22
Thank you
Qtek S110
ROM Version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM Date 05/25/05
Radio Version 1.12.00

After doing extensive searches on the net, i wasn't able to discover anything taht could be of help to this particular problem.
So, i went to a workaround solution that solves the problem, creating a shortcut on the startup folder that starts the messaging pack in background, thus forcing the mail/mms program to get loaded each time the device is restarted.
The sortcut -> "19# "\windows\tmail.exe" -RunInBKG"
Maybe this can be of help to someone else.

Thanks! This shortcut is resolving the same problem for me, but it seems once i closed the Messaging application with SPB Plus' 2.5 close task feature, it does not work anymore...
So in addition, you need to edit the settings for the close button and define an exception for "tmail.exe"
Regards Mundl

Yes that's right esackbauer. I forgot to mention that once you enter the messaging app you must keep it running...

Muliple SMS Sent from One request.

Okay my i-mate Jam has decided to send two SMSs for every one that I send (sometimes)... Has anyone got any idea as to why?
Things i've checked:
I only have the one SMS service centre number and it is the correct one.
Checked my Sent items folder - it only has one copy of the sent item with only one "To" number.
The time/date only shows the last one it sent (there can be a delay of a few hours between sends for some unknown reason.... although usually they are within minutes.)
O2 say my machine could be faulty - this would imply a rom issue!! Currently at 1.11.00 WWE /1.11.00/1.11.179 WWE for Rom/Rad/Ext - I would think a rom issue is unlikely.
NEOne any idea's
Thanks.

Do a search, people are sick of answering this question.

If you have SPB Pocket Plus or any other task management software that closes the applications when you press the X button, make sure that the Messaging application is included in the "exclusion" list. You cannot close Messaging before you recieve the "Message Sent" notification, otherwise the message get sent twice.
And yes as elyl said, please use the search button before asking!

Sorry - I did try a search using "SMS Multiple" - and it did turn up some results, but for some unknown reason clicking on any of the results just sent the browser into a void. So after 3 days of trying - I just had to post.
Thanks for the response kta - I def have SPB installed - will exclude the Messenging App.

Do you have a taskmanager such as SPB Pocket Plus or Magic Button installed with the option to really close programs? If zo, add \windows\tmail.exe to the exeptionlist to prevent the sms program is really closes, this could solve your problem.

same problem with same ROM but fr version. :x I've no solution.... :evil:
I'm interesting by a simply explanation :!:

1-2tje:
Yes I have spbpocketplus. I'll do what you suggeat and test. Thank you

I have the same problem but with MultiMedia messages (not text messages) being sent twice. I think tmail.exe handles those too, so I'll try your suggestion.
Andre

If it doesn't work (e.g. for MMS), try adding the file "poutlook.exe" in the \windows folder to the exeption list.

This seems to happen when you close the messaging application before the text message is sent. If you wait 2-3 seconds after sending your sms before you close the messaging application you should not get this problem.

Re: Sending twice
Hi all, I thought i'd add my findings to this.
It has happened since the Wallaby's this has. I found it was down to not waiting for the "sms sent" nitification. If you shut the app before you get that notification it sends them twice. If you wait for the notification and then shut, you'll be ok.
I haven't tested this on the wizard as i use SmartSkey to close, which has an exception list, messaging being one of them so i only ever minimise it, but this was certainly the case on the older models.

Messaging program not working

Hi all,
I have a problem that when I try to open a SMS message the messaging progrm shows a blank white screen, this is the case also with all kinds of messaging (MMS, email, ...). I thought that the database might be corrupted so I deleted all my messages to empty the database completely, but I had no luck to get this thing working... the program shows a list of emails, sms but does not open them, also I can't create a new SMS or send or forward SMS messages...
Any solution other than a Hard Reset??????????
Thanks

Any help here??

I am not using GPRS / MMS messaging. Niether I have installed anything new recently. and even my sms-inbox is not overflowing with messages.. hardly 15-20.
Is there an option other than a hard reset?
Please help me. thanks

I had that issue. It was my CEstar, which is a program that displays chinese fonts, that conflicted with messaging. I uninstalled it and everything is fine now. Hope that helps!

i have almost the same problem
I use yahoos go! to get my email. im able to send and receive sms fine.. but when it comes to my yahoo mail.. I can see the suject and the sender but when I click to see it.. the screen is blank but I figured out that if u press the left and right button it shows the nxt message and than goes back to the one u click to read.. that's the only way it'll show the message.. but the problem is that I can create a new message cause the screen goes blank and I cant get out of that.. but one thing I haven't been able to do is view html mail it always shows as just txt.. anyone have any explanation for this??
