SMS Display Characteristics !! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi All
I have seen that most of the PDAs in the Market doesnt show the SMS as its displayed on Nokia...
What i meant is any sms which has line my line message, is shown continuously in a single line on Magician....
Do any one have a fix for it...
Thanks in advance
Manmohan

You will have to either use a 3rd party SMS application, or do a registry edit to achieve this effect.

Can u pls let me know the registry key to be edited to achieve this effect....

I don't know how to do it myself, but I'm experimenting with my registry entries, trying to find anything that works. I'm sure that it can be done easily though.

New X1 owner..pls help

Just purchased a X1 yesterday. The 1st impression about the phone is speechless. But i have one simple question- When a call comes then there are two options for selecting,1-Silence,2-Reject with sms. But i can silent the phone by pressing the volume keys,so i don't need the "silence" feature. It would be very good if its an Answer feature on the screen,so i don't have to press the answer key. So please tell me how to disable the silence and enable the answer on the screen.
Please guys rep asap.
You can try the blackstone dialer. It gives u a slider to answer or reject and an option to send a text
If you go to Settings->Phone and select the Advanced Tab you have an option "Reject calls with text message" or something similar (I don't have the english UI).
If you deselect this you get Answer on the left soft button and Reject on the right. It won't give you any fancy phone button, but at least it's on the screen. And the reject button gives a busy tone to the caller.
Thanks guys for the feedback. I've another query. Thats about disabling the threaded sms in x1. I have two or three cab files in my pc,which worked pretty fine on my Htc Kaiser,but those files are not opening as a cab file. I have a cab file called sms mode v31,now when i double clicked it's showing a lot of files like-001,002...016 etc.,which can't be installed in the x1. So how can i get that cab back? I know it's the problem of my pc,still asked.
you can use advanced config to change the sms threading settings as well as a bunch of other things too.
yup i know but my pc can't detect cab files. when i am extracting by winrar it's showing a lot of files. please please tell me how to fix this,this is abt my pc. i am attaching a gif image of my problem,please see that. this is happened when i tried to extract a cab file named SMS Mode v31,which i found from this site.
Don't extract CAB files, copy to a directory on you phone and run it!!!
yes. didn't extract,working gr8. thanks a lot.
Hey guys found another problem. Now its with the font. How can modify the fonts? The default level is so small that it puts pressure on my eyes to read a message and +1 from default level is kinda big that the number and the body of a message are all messed up.
Thanks in advance

[Request] contact picture for "private" or "unknown caller" ?

Dear all,
I'm looking for a feature/tweak, that shows a special picture if a caller with unkonwn phone number is ringing instead of showing "private"-text only on the display.
And I want to define this picture by myself.
I do not want to install tools like S2U2, even it woud be possible to adjust this due this tool.
I do not want to restrict unknown callers, but only to make it more friendly or with better visibility.
Has anyone of you an idea how to go on?
A single reg entry or description in which manila which settings have to made would be great!
Thanks in advance!
stepsch
Really no-one? (If a friendly push is not allowed, please delete the whole post, I will notice, thx.)

ahhh, now i understand what you mean. had that behaviour on my old imate.
I am not sure what caused this...it is a windows mobile problem and not device specific i think...
I did a hard reset back then and reinstalled all the applications.
oh no.. pls dont do this to me... i cant afford to hard reset..
anyone who knows this registry setting... PLS be kind to reply.
and why can't you hardreset? backup your pim data, hard reset, reinstall your apps (how many do you have? 10? thats done in minutes) and you are good to go.
too bad i dont remember what cause tthis damn behaviour...
i think its some dam* setting
why do MS has to come up with such a friendly os
argghhjj
Hey Leo,
This problem happened on my old HTC Universal. I believe it was because I was playing with font size/settings. Try changing the size of the system font in SETTINGS --> SYSTEM --> SCREEN --> Font Size (tab).
This may help you out. I can't really remember what solved the issue, or if i even did solve it at all. It's a simple thing worth trying anyways...
Hope that helps!
what is the default size? my system is 9.
anyone pls????? it is getting VERY disturbing
leobox1 cant see the font size in numbers in here. There is a bar where you are suppose to adjust the size from Smallest Largest. Its right in the middle for me.
Hope this may help
can I asked what you have installed?
It use to happen with me on my old HTC Kaiser it was related to "D-PAD Scroll Navigation unded PocketIE" which I had to disable. Have you installed a tweak program which could have enabled these options?
hi
i have sktools
tweak2k
pocket mechanic
advance tools
in tweaks2k2 go to internet settings untick pie smooth scrolling accept settings and reboot then try and open a sms.
ARRGHHH trial expired.. cansomeone point me which reg key is it?
BINGO !!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation
- Change the value of the DWORD "4-Way Nav" into 1
this solve the SMS halfway prob... but of course i do not know what this breaks instead
ty all ...
please dont request regs or warez in the forum it's not alowed and will if don
many times result in a ban
oh.. rudegar.. you mistook me.. i meant which registry key is for that tweak.. as my key is expired.

Screen On when SMS recieved

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?
You guys might check S2U2 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523

Official Rom Update

Hi all
I am kind of new to this, so I hope I have put the thread in the right place. I have searched for some of the answers, but can not find them, or the threads are 100s of pages long and knowing where to look is a nightmare.
I decided to update my phone with the latest official HTC Roms from their website (2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE). Unfortunately there are a few things that I like the old way, and now I am not sure if I can go back to the original Rom that came with the phone.
- I now can not use custom sounds for my message alerts, I have put them with all the others, and made them to be the same file size, mono and all that, and they don't show up. I can use them for ring tones, but not message alerts.
- I used to have the message alert light set to constantly flash until I had read the message, so if I am away from the phone I could tell I have a message. That bit is still there, but it is grayed out so I can't have it.
- When I lock, unlock the phone, go through the menus and go back to the "Today" screen the clock will go from say 10:13, to 09:13, then will roll forward to 10:11 and then the last two minute digits will roll over to 10:12, 10:13 again? Why is this.
- Is there any way of removing the weather from the "Today" screen, it looks very nice, but the phone seems to come to a grinding halt and that added with the time thing mentioned above is also very irritating.
If anyone knows ways around these it would be much appreciated, if not is there a way of returning to the original Rom that the phone came with, I notice the HTC website said it was not possible.
Thanks in advance.

+ SR and then you can change the value

Hi spigot, thanks for the help.
I have installed the cab for the silly rolling animation, and that has sorted that out.
I have installed a program called FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1 to alter the registry values, and have found the "AvailableOptions" one, but don't seem to be able to alter it.

Drop the sounds you want for messages directly into thw windows folder. they will be available.
Thank you codhunter, it worked .
Not sure why they would change it between roms / versions, it used to go in the tones or whatever it was called with my original one.
Also your changing the value in available options to 15 for the message LED notification worked, couldn't work spigots out above.
Thanks
Glad to be of help
i'm just learning too, SQueal. Stick with the new rom. any problems you have will soon get ironed out with the helpful guys on here!!!
SQueal: Try to use TotalCommander with it's plugin registry editor. I did it many times without any problem.
To remove weather from today tab look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656240
how can I enter the registry with totalCommander?
You must download the plugin registry editor, using Total commander's settlings.

You don't need any plugins. Registry editor is part of total commander. If you press "\" button in uppert right corner (in total commander), you'll get to root part and the first folder is called "\\Plugins", there you can find FTP, LAN and registry editor plugins.
Has anyone else noticed how much smaller the sms text message is? You have the ability to change the text size for the ones you read, and the one in with the screen alignment, but the text still seems really small.
Is there a way of doing this in the registry as well?
