threaded sms fix for wm6.0

for those too scared to flash to 6.1 (or have other reasons not to), here is a very intriguing method of getting the palm threaded sms to work quite well, not covering up the input area.
good luck.

and ppcgeeks has been up again for a while. just make sure to...get there right? idk. its working strange. once you get to the site, just make sure to click on the "forum" link at the top, or the "ppcgeeks" link at the left, and you should be redirected to the new/working site

Man thanks! was going to get rid of this thing, but now im loving it more by the day....

Threaded sms is nice, but if you don't get notified of them what's the point??
The palm threaded sms app ( i used codyppc's) is ok, but the notifications on my vogue at least, are so buggy that it's not practical. Using HTC theme, with HTC Home (sms counter) and half of the time it doesn't increment. S2U2 also doesnt' recognize new SMS when this threaded app is installed.

what apps do you have installed? what rom are you running?
the sms counter can mess up sometimes, but it has been my experience to work about 90% of the time.

Just have the stock ROM that came with the Sprint Touch.
my notifications start out working, then quit, then sometimes come back. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason - new message or new conversation don't seem to matter - i have done a hard reset and only installed the palm threaded sms app - doesnt' matter. I love it when it works, but...
Apps include:
- MS Live Search
- AC S2U2 .99
- Arcsoft MMS (still have hope)
- the MusicID app
- MemMaid
- Google Maps
- YouTube fix
- Full Screen Keyboard
- Sprite backup
- teh duttythroy Vista battery bar
- Opera 8.65

I use treo alert. And it works fine, for the sms issue. u can set it up like you want it....

does treo alert allow you to configure the sms counter in the HTC Home today screen plugin? I assume it probably doesn't but hoping it does. i'm looking at this, http://discussion.treocentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15006&d=1180917118, and it's hard to tell.

I dont think it do's. are you running the palm threaded sms hack>?

yes, running codyppcs threaded sms app - the one with the SMS softkey if that matters. love it when it notifies, but can't figure out why sometimes it doesn't. i have tried combinations of closing out of the app, having a totally different app open, putting the touch to sleep/hibernate, but it's never consistent.

I am having issues with the dragstlye sip hack. It seems to cutoff off the bottom row of keys and the majority of the second row with the standard sip keyboard. It also cuts off some of each of my other entry methods. has anyone figured out a fix for this?

HTC Diamond Keyboard Issues on Mogul

Hi Guys,
after playing for about a week with the touch diamond keyboard on my mogul I've come to the conclusion of being the best SIP touch keyboard i've ever used BUT (here is the good part)
*"DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR MOGUL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CONTACT PREDICTION TO GO AWAY WHILE WRITING A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, SUPER SLOW INPUT WHILE WRITING AND ALSO IT TOOK 9 MINUTES TO UNINSTALL."*
with that being said it is up to you if you want to give it a try.

Other issues are that some are not able to uninstall unless they hard reset, issues arise with your physical keyboard.
These are not issues that arised on the 6800, but rather most devices out in the market. It has been stated in the thread with the leaked attached software that the software is very buggy and doesn't have proper testing.
Install at your own risk. I personally rather use the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad which is almost identical except for the skin.

Does this break the autocomplete feature for the slide out keyboard on sms/mms contacts too or just for the SIP keyboard?
Carlos, do you have a cab to upload for that HTC Touch keyboard? Cannot find by searching XDA.

Sweet, perfect. My cab directory on the server is stocked! \
edit: this cab breaks autocomplete too, huh?
any workaround? That is a rather good feature.

auto complete only seems to work when you use xt9.
but other then that idk if there would be a way to be enable it.

I installed it and used it for a while... i must say its a great keyboard for a touchscreen... but then i realized the main reason why i got the mogul vs the touch, THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD!
This completely screwed up the autocomplete in emails and sms, text predictions and SIP options, even when using the hardware keyboard.
Uninstalling was a nightmare... so I did a hard reset and went on with my happy mogul...
I still think its a great software keyboard, but for a devise that its designed to... not the mogul

The Diamond keyboard seems to work on my Telus P4000 running DCD3.0.4 with the only bug being that when you press a key the icon for the selected key is really big but this goes away as soon as you life your finger so it isn't a big deal. Autocomplete seems to work for me but I never used it much so I may not be testing what others say is not working. If I create a new SMS and start typing in someone's name using any of the Diamond keyboards (since there are 3) or the hardware keyboard the name comes up before I finish typing so I don't think there's any issue with that.
The Touch keyboard is almost the same you say? I may have to try that one...

touch keyboard
Aledc78:
Just for clarification, the keyboard you had so much trouble with prediction and uninstalling was the Touch, or was it the Diamond? I'd really like to give the touch one a shot. My large fingers are WAY too big to even consider using the default WM6 keyboard, its a joke. I can't give up prediction though, and as a general rule I steer clear of anything that is a "nightmare" to uninstall.

I managed to uninstall Diamond keyboard. I used SK Tools to uninstall and voila...it got uninstalled

Stay away
Yeah, this keyboard is really a pile of crap. It broke all my auto complete, and it also broke the ability to page down by pressing the space bar in a browser. And mine wouldn't install at all, it sat there for over 30 minutes doing nothing, I had to hard reset to get rid of it.
Seriously, if you want a device without a keyboard, just buy a touch. A physicial keyboard is better than any soft ketboard anyway

I found the latest version of the CooTek TouchPal keyboard with the Diamond theme works a lot better on the Mogul than the Diamond Keyboard. It's not free though.

CoolTek
Still, compared to the Diamond ported keyboard, CoolTek sucks.
I'm surprised that the problem with inputting contacts and having them autocomplete via the Hardware Keyboard is still broken. The hardware keyboard is generally preferred, but the Diamond port is amazing in small spaces / one handed typing.
anyone know of a fix?

[app] resco contact manager

Work better then yota or phonex
Contact Manager | February 4, 2009 Pocket PC
Beta Released
Built on the experience and success of Resco File Explorer, developers at Resco decided to create an application which makes managing contacts a quick, efficient and pleasant experience.
Resco would like to announce that the new application will contain the following features:
Touch-optimized interface
Easy navigation
Chat-like ordering of text messages
Letter navigation
Favorites
Quick search using keypad
Direct calls
History of calls
Easy assigning of pictures to contacts
Managing contacts in groups
Today plugin – quick access to all your commonly used phone functions
..and many more
http://resco.net/downloads/pocketpc/contactmanager/en/RContactMan_beta.exe

This looks very nice.
The only problem i see and for me it's the overruling off the keypad.
Thanx.

Looks Good and works fine... But there is just English Letters to search Contacts...

it's the first beta release guys ...upgrades will come soon, and specially also because it is nearly the Mobile World Congress

For a first release I am very impressed.
It definitely outdoes Yota contacts and any other contact program.
Not to mention it actually includes it's own shortcuts to the various tabs!!! Definitely a HUGE plus for me!

Maybe works betters, but is awesome ugly xD
Yota looks better

Not yet possible, but I posted a request on their forum for this, and other features. They say they will work on it.
Anyone interested should go to their forum and voice your support for adding these features. Resco seems to be listening.

Looks veeeery equal to PocketCM, which is my favorite app for more than a year.
Better donate therefore, as to buy such an obvious clone......
Just my 2cents

I have not try uninstalling it, but did you try installing the old version and see what happened/

The bluetooth icon is part of the HTC dialer software. Now that you are using a custom dialer, the bluetooth symbol will not show.

I'm not familiar with contact manager - did that also replace the dialer? I tried inesofts solution some time ago and had the same problem - hence the reason i know its the dialer. Uninstalling solved the problem.
Have you uninstalled it? if so, did the icon return? If not, are you now seeing the htc dialer or the wm6 dialer?

This is the only dialer that has removed the bluetooth icon completely....I've tried them all as the standard is pretty rubbish - dont know why it hasnt come back after uninstall?...
It didnt happen on any previouse versions that I used.
I quiet like the software and layout and functions so have re-installed it...Think I will have to live with it till a solution comes about.

installing phonEx did replace the dialer.
i have not try to uninstall it. will do the uninstalling and see what happen...
thanks for yr input.

You can try to use program such SKTools (Tune up!\Phone Edition\) to enable the OEM Dialer skin. The bluetooth icon should be back.

It's back
After uninstalling, I still had the standerd dialer - hence no BT icon. Somehow, after using the dialler a few times a message appears to uninstall the last part of Phonex - and then soft reset. And there the lovely blue icon appeared again, together with the HTC dialler. Although one could blame Iconsoft (and they have to solve it I guess in a new version), it is quite stupid of HTC to combine their dialer and the BT icon. And I can't think of a reason why. Anyhow, Phonex is great, I love the smooth scrolling and access. So I also can live with one icon less, although I would love to have this solved. So let's al inform Phonex about this issue (only on the HD?)

V1.4 is out, give it a go. There were a few bugs in 1.3.5, for me the dialler interface kept going back to the standard one but so far with 1.4 its seems to have fixed it so it may have addressed your problem.

how to switch from htc dialer to ms or another one?

hello to everybody.
I am experiencing a big slowdown using htc dialer: sometimes it freezes, sometimes the buttons are not functioning even if I press them...and of course when I am phoning...for example I have troubles in pressing the keypad softkey to use the dialer...or to turn on the speaker...
I use the rom in my signature and S2u2 2.34.... no special registry tweaks or strange apps... if I hard reset it works for some hours and after that it starts freezing... I read somewhere it is a know bug of htc dialer... How can I replace it? maybe with another app? using ms dialer? and in this case, how to switch to microsofts' one smoothly?
thanks in advance
all the best

http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en&menu=62e094db10fc83b1

thanks for the tip.
but does it overwrite completely htc software for calls?

I installed inesoft phone trial software just to check...
I have the same issues, so for sure it is a problem related to WM.
Both htc dialer software and inesoft for sure use the same layer....
ahhhh, wtf....

I'm about 99% sure it has to be something specific to what 3rd party software you've installed, because on the same ROM, I didn't experience this, but I did not use S2u2, so if I had to guess, this would be my first place to look. Have you tried uninstalling S2u2 2.34?

yes, I do mtty everytime I flash, and I flashed so many times I stopped counting.
if this is real (3rd party software in conflict) it's a big problem...
which one? I always installed more or less the same software and if I start to check it manually well, I need 1 week...
thanks for the reply anyway.
I am trying S2u2 now... I will post here news

it seems not to be s2u2 or the colored taskbar I use...
I will try hard reset and then one apps at a time... but when I'll have time.
for now, I can live with it...
I am using hard key for ending call... keypad sometimes works, sometimes not...
uff...
