Messaging button quirk... - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I just bought an 8525. Sometimes, when I hit the messaging button (hard button) the title bar changes to say "Text Messaging" or whatever, but the Today Screen still shows. If I close the messaging app, then hit the hard button again, it'll open correctly. I also notice duplicate notifications in MemMaid for tmail.exe after this happens
SPB Diary 2.2, SPB Pocket Plus 3.1.2, Egress 3.1, MemMaid 1.72
Right now only checking 2 email accounts: hotmail and .mac (now through POP, though had the same quirk when setup as IMAP).
Tried the fake server trick, still happening. I'm curious what's causing it. Could it be SPB Diary or Pocket Plus? I have the close button enabled in Pocket Plus.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry guys... I suck.
I think it may all have to do with SPB Pocket Plus. Cuz last night.... it froze up. And I read the threads relating to that. I think they're linked. Gonna hard reset and start afresh and see what happens.
Thanks!

I don't have any of the programs you listed and I have this same problem on my TyTn. I find it very annoying....

I also have this little bug and noticed it ever since I upgraded to SPB Diary 2x.
My bug is a little different though. When it happens, if I go to the today screen, I can't select any of the diary stuff. It's as if the touch screen there stops functioning.
So to get it working, I have to tap the date or something at the top and then exit that. Now I'm able to select the diary items. Then I have to tap and hold the blue message tab and select go to inbox to have it show properly.

The messaging key bug has been around for a while. I had it with me 8125 and it is in my 8525.
If you check the wizard forum you will see no one has every found out what was causeing this.

Ugh... I had it on my 8125 too... its part of the reason I upgraded to the 8525 (the other part is that my 8125 took a tumble onto the concrete. )
Oh well... hopefully it'll go away with the next ROM upgrade.

same problem here with imate jasjam with jasjam wwe ROM. even when its stock, no other apps installed, same problem happens.
what i have noticed is that once you load up messenging and minimize it (not shut it down), then the messeging button works everytime.
otherwise if messeging is always closed, the hard button has an intermittent problem

Sorta *BUMP* / Sorta not...
So my buddy bought his 8525 a week after I bought mine. Granted, he doesn't have any of the programs I have on his... but he's NEVER had that happen to him.
I had a thought... who uses Hotmail/PocketMSN? I wonder if the "Download Mail Automatically" setting has anything to do with it. I just turned it off. We'll see.
I'm wondering if it's my phone itself. I still got a week before the exchange period is up.
Anybody hear anything new about this?

Okay... I did three things yesterday and all of them could be the culprit. (However now I'm having other problems so I'm gonna hard reset and start again.)
This is what I did... see if it helps:
1. Turned off "Download Mail Automatically" for Hotmail in Pocket MSN. (Maybe hotmail hangs during a disconnect or something?) - This still may be it.
2. Turned off scheduled checks (30 mins) for my .Mac IMAP account. (Which I never had a problem with... but maybe it hangs during a disconnect?) - It seems that as long as I don't schedule Pocket Outlook to go fetch mail everything is okay... the second I set a schedule the quirk pops up.
3. Removed the Messages tab from PocketBreeze. Since a lot of these troubles seem to be related to Diary or PocketBreeze, I wonder if there's some conflict between POutlook and the "Inboxes" in the messaging tab.) - This has nothing to do with it.
Hope this helps!
Since it's working now... I'm gonna at least let it be stable for 1 day and see what happens.

Send/Receive option greyed out

Hey,
It's not the biggest deal in the world since everything seems to be working on my 8125 (running summitter 2.25) but after some weirdness on the device last weekend, my "send/receive" option in pocket outlook is now always greyed out. I am syncing with mail2web exchange. If I need to send/receive, I can go over to ActiveSync and click the sync button and all works well (as well as DirectPush) but it just seems odd that now the "send/receive" option in outlook is no longer functional.
Anyone have any ideas what this might be and how to correct it?
Thanks!
it happens when the program is (or thinks it is) already sending-receiving smth. i.e. large attachments
give it some time and try again. worked for me
ciao

Two TyTN issues....help!

Just got my TyTN Pro yesterday with ROM 1.18.255.3. Its my first foray into WM as long time Palm user, converted from the Treo 650
Okay, TyTN runs great in its virginal mode before anything is added. However after adding in my info from Outlook 2003: Contacts, Calender, Tasks, and Notes, I have problems. I also have ActiveSync set up to sync Windows Media and Files, but not Email.
First problem, when I go into the phone and choose options, then menu never comes up, same thing when I go into settings and choose phone, just nothing at all.
Second problem, it slows to a frickin crawl that is just plain unusable. I'm not sure if its related, but ActiveSync shows up frequently on the Running Programs Tab in the memory menu on the settings even when I didn't Activate it or set up an Exchange account.
Man, this is frustrating.
Actually I have a third problem too. When I have tried to send an MMS, it keeps resending it as though delivery failed, though the recipent receives all the MMS. kinda frustrating.
As for the first two issues in the first post...
I have slowly been syncing the TyTN.
I started with my 651 Contacts, things still worked fine
Added my 2374 Calender entries, still good
Added my 116 Tasks, still good
Added my 139 Notes/Memos and the problems start. WTF could be the problem that my Notes are causing the Phone options not to show up and the unit to slow?
And I just confirmed that it is something in the Notes after hard reseting and ONLY syncing just the notes. I am now going to separate the notes into two halves and see if I can further isolate the problem
Well, several hours later, it was one memo with 127 characters in the first line. Even when I tried to hit a return after the first few words, during the sync process it rendered it back to the intolerable format. Weird. Anybody know what the usable limit of characters in the title of a memo is?
lol very weird! :shock:

Pocket Outlook opens when message is received

This is really annoying. For some reason pocket outlook has started opening itself to the last used folder when for instance I receive an mms. It's always done all that in the background until now. The only change I can recall is that I've installed IM+.
I use phoneAlarm to get notified for all incoming events and I would like to see Pocket Outlook running in the background like it usually does.
Any tips or suggestion to what is causing this?
Just try simply to do soft reset - it helped me recently.

TouchFLO and eMail application not working together anymore

I got the Touch HD a couple of days ago. Since then I've installed a few applications, the last ones were TomTom and a couple of games.
Whenever I start the Windows Mobile email application, a black screen appears and it says "Click here to start TouchFLO 3D". A few seconds pass and it changes to "Starting TouchFLO 3D". Then, the Today screen appears. I cannot start the eMail application whatsoever. TouchFLO is running and works in all other applications, however.
Has anybody ever experienced something like this? Is there a way to reinstall the eMail application or fix this problem somehow? Your answer would be very much appreciated.
Have a great weekend y'all!
Similar behavior
I am observing a somewhat relatedmbehavior to the one you describe.
In my Blackstone device, the TouchFlo3d Mail application only shows me the Hotmail mail account. However it is unresponsive the first time I land on it, and need to swipe my finger to another application before it lets me traverse the mails in Hotmail.
Another weird thing is that it does not show my Exchange account email contents. I notice I cannot swipe my finger on the right hand side of the panel to move between the two account icons.
In addition, I have lost all visibility to my exchange folders.
Finally the rest of my exchange account seems to be syncing fine: I see my contacts and calendar, and I can send mail.
Any ideas on why one observes this behavior?
Thx
Messaging not working either
Forgot to mention that going to the Messages tab, I am not shown any SMS, and the ones I used to have in the device have disappeared.
So, in sum, I am shown a "no messages" message in both the Messages tab, and in the Mail tab of TouchFlo when looking at my Exchange account.

Outlook mobile steals focus

Hi there.
I have a little issue with outlook, when it syncs up my imap account it steals the focus and shows up as the active window. It does it wether there is new mail or not, but not every time. Same thing when the device is sleeping, i wake it back up and it shows my inbox even if outlook was closed before going to sleep.
Has anyone else had this issue (and maybe knows how to fix it) ?
Same thing happens to me also, it's not all the time but sometimes and I can't tell whats going on to make it happen.
I'm using pop.
Annoying it is though.
Regards
I had this on WM6.5 Kaiser ROM but havent had it yet on the Leo
any luck with this issue. just read some essential feeds and the mail application pop up about 10 times
thanks
nev
I haven't had this problem for quite a while now. I haven't changed my email configuration but i did change roms a few times since then (netnrg and energy mostly). So i guess the issue is somehow fixed in recent roms.
Stop Outlook stealing focus
Make sure that Outlook is running
Go into Task Manager
Press and Hold on 'Outlook E-mail'
Select 'Add Exclusive' from the pop-up menu
You can confirm it has been added by going to the 'Exclusive' tab next.
Not sure why this is required, but this means that Outlook will always be running in the background and won't need to pop up on top of other apps (was very frustrating for me when watching movies and this would happen).
