In the SMS main screen, the left key is delete. I want to know if i can change that key to open a new message.
Thanks in advance.
I agree that this is pretty annoying... bc of lag in the software or whatever, every time you hit the left soft key, you get a "are you sure you want to delete" dialog... but then again, on previous versions the left softkey was "reply" ... so it would always take me into a new text message... so I don't know what's better! haha

Hi there,
on my Trion PPC with WM5 I have tried to work out a way to mark an SMS as read, without opening the messaging app by the push of one hard key. So far I couldnt get it to work. Has anyone come across a way do it ?
Reason is, that on WM5 the message self displays for a while upon reciept, so no need to futher open the Messaging.
Greetings

nice idea. i am also planning on adding this option for the application im creating.
any ideas?
upon receiving a notification, right soft button, and select 'save as read..'. Doesn't open the messaging apps, but not a 1 button solution.
The soft button way is obvious, but thats several clicks. Does anyone know how to assign a command under a short menu to a button ?
A One touch solution is what we need, its so anoying having to do so many steps each time you get the new sms pop up.
Greetings

I would do it like noted above.. Add a button to the menu's of the notification .. and let it invoke a dll or application which uses MAPI functions to mark the sms as read.
Right now, I have PocketCM assignged to my right softkey in order to send my text messages. No problem. What I would like to do, is set up the program to open when you get the notification of a recieved message. Much in the same way that Flexmail opens automatically.
Not necessarily opening on its own though, but when you click the right softkey after recieving the text, the menu pops up and asks, Call Sender, Save as read, Dismiss, Delete, or Open. How do i (can I?) set it up so that selecting the Open option will open PocketCM? Would I be correct in assuming that it's a registry tweak?
If the question has been answered already, which I'm almost sure it has to have been, I apologize. A search on this has brought up topics, either not nearly related to what I am looking for, or topics so old and/or convoluted to be of any service to someone who isnt already familiar with the subject matter.
I know it's mostly irrelevant in this instance, but I'm on a Tilt running Alex's newest Ultralight. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Same Question I Asked, I Was Told It Could Not Be Done, But Id Like To See What Everyone Has To Say...
From my end I dont see it being impossible, if programs like Flexmail & Sunnysoft Contacts can do it. Hell, Opera Mini can be set as the default browser. I think it just takes more knowledge of the subject matter than we currently have, lol
well if i have pocketcm minimized it pops up when i receive a message

This is true, but I'm a memory nazi who closes everything when I'm done using them. So while your way sorta "works", I'm really hoping to get it done the other way, lol.
Edit - Typo
I would like Pocket CM to open directly to the person's theaded sms window when i receive a message. Right now Pocket CM opens, but it's impossible to tell who sent it. SO then i have to use the notification window to open the default text message program.

rubbish: if you have "show text count on" the person who sent it is at the top of the list and the text count say 1/x
although i do agree it would be nice to open at the thread and even if pocketcm wasnt active at the time
I agree with above, the way PocketCM doesn't handle new messages was a deal-breaker for me. Everytime there is a new version I install it because i really like the look and feel, but i always take it off a couple of days later due to this issue. What's the point of having threaded SMS if you have to open a slow program to view the thread each time a new message comes in?
Esp now that WM 6.1 already uses threaded SMS. My Touch Dual supports flick and scroll already, so I guess the only interesting thing in PCM for me would be the nice transitions.

Ok, am I missing something? I have a sprint mogul with wm6. When I get a text message with window notification I do not have a "Open" option when i press the right soft key. i have Call Sender, Save as Read, Reply, and Dismiss. It's annoying when I have a long message that doesn't fit in the notification. I have to dismiss it and then go into Text Messaging to read the whole text. There is suppose to be an "open" option?
When I open a sms, it opens in a threaded view with all the messages in the conversation. However, is it possible to delete a specific message in this conversation?
It is but it is annoying.
In threaded view click on the underlined part of the message, the bit with the name and time. This will take you to a screen with options to call, text etc. Press the back button and the whole message should now be highlighted blue. Now the delete option is available in the menu.
Does anyone know an easier way to do this or delete multiple messages at a time?
To select the message in question just use the up and down keys on one of the HTC keyboards....

Thank you. It worked. But sometimes I was able to select a message, so I could delete it, without taking me to the new screen. But it seemed really random, most of the times it took me to the new screen.
michi123's solution also works well. Seems to me that this SMS application isn't really made for devices with no physical buttons.
As it says on the tin really. I have found on more than one occasion that I have accidentally deleted message when I go to the inbox because the softkey on the left is "delete" .
Is there anyway to change this to something else [preferably "reply"].
I have seen that you need to change to a cooked version of Manilla to change it from "reply all" to "reply" when in an email so I don't hold much hope [I am not happy to do this even though I would like this feature] but do wonder if this is possible.
Thanks
Pretty much as the title says, my Touch HD has a '2' in the green circle as though I have two unread messages. This is not the case, I have deleted ALL messages from my phone, there is nothing.
It started with a '1' when a message failed to send when I was roaming... I dealt with it, but now it thinks there's a second unread message. It's pretty annoying because I only know if I have a new text now if it says '3' in the green circle.
Help please.
Hi,
What ROM version are you using?
Please try and change the following Registry key value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread \Count and made sure its set to 0
If that does not work, try this:
1. go to 'Messaging' tab (sms texts) in Touchflo.
2. tap softkey (left) labeled 'All messages'
3. This should bring up 'Messaging' program.
4. tap softkey (right) labeled 'Menu'
5. tap option 'Go To >'
6. tap option 'Outlook E-mail'
7. Delete unread email here.
8. Close Messages and check that your email counter has adjusted.
Hopefully this works for most problems.
The registry edit fixed it!
Thank you very much.
Scratch that... when I receive a text, it jumps straight to '3' instead of '1'
I found manila take about 3 sec to mark an sms as read. you probably still have a couple ore short sms that you did not stay on for long enough.
go through them all stopping on each for 3 sec an see if it finally reads one.
This isn't the case, I have zero unread messages. I have even deleted ALL messages from my phone, all SMS and Email. It still shows as 2 unread messages, on manilla and in the windows messaging program. I did that reg edit, which removed the '2' but as soon as I get a new message, '3' pops up, it's almost as though it thinks '2' is zero.
Really need to fix this guys!
