Anyone know a faster way to send sms text message

So i changed from the 8125 to the wing and I have discovered it is much more difficult to send a new text message. You have to go through like 5 different commands...(open the message bar, select text message account, tap menu, scroll to new, scroll to sms) it just seems so tedious so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make it so i can have new message be one of my soft key choices (preferably where the delete soft key is). Its really annoying.
Thanks BP

How about when you install the HTC Home plugin, I HAD one until i bricked my phone yesterday :'( it came with the PDAVIET rom which was released some time ago.
What it does is, it shows on the Today screen a link to Email and one to SMS.
That's probably the fastest way.
Cheers

how 'bout putting the command "new sms" under a softkey ?

Or simply install the program "name" (sorry forgot the name) that puts a "New" menu at your left soft-key in the today screen, from there you can choose sms, e-mail, mms etc.. Just search for New menu

Press Contacts softkey. Scroll to the intended recipient. Tap, hold, pick "Send Text Message". Type text message. Press Send softkey.
What's the problem?

How About VIJay?
Hello,
I use VijaySMS All the time... It allows you to make a shortcut (I use SPB Today so I create the shortcuts in there) that either starts a blank SMS or start one to a specific contact. You can find the program at Vijay's webpage here: http://www.vijay555.com/
Enjoy!

You could set up the Message button to automatically go to your SMS Inbox when you press it.
Messaging Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options...
Select Text/SMS and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging." This will automatically open your SMS Inbox, thus eliminating the first two steps of your problem.

SMS/email Questions (htc home, palm threaded sms)

I have htc home installed. I love the way palm threaded sms works, but it gets really annoying at times. is there any way to set it up so that when i hit the text button on htc home it opens JUST my sms inbox, and when i hit the email button, it opens JUST my email? right now, it opens the main messaging window, as well as the text or email window whenever i hit either of those buttons.
also, when palm threaded sms is installed, my text message inbox opens itself about every 10 minutes on its own, does anyone know how to stop this?
if not, does anyone know of another sms program? the one that comes on the mogul is really slow and ugly, i dont even care if its threaded, i just want something faster and possibly better looking than the built in one

Load up your emai/sms ap, menu -> tools -> settings untick "display account picker"

well that solved the problem of it opening the picker, but it created another problem. now the email icon on the htc home plugin just opens text message inbox as well. is there a way to set what those buttons open? Also, is there a way to delete this "Outlook E-mail" account?
thanks for your reply isix

Prevent Audo Dial when a Contact is Pressed in Phone Dialler?

I've always peferred to use Phone Dialler's keypad to search for a Contact by pressing a few alpha/numeric keys -
then I used press the contact that I'm looking for and select SMS or call mobile or home phone, or email.
With TouchFlo 3D's Phone Dialler HD, however, this is not practical as it AUTOMATICALLY DIALS THE CONTACT instead of OPENING IT to allow you to chose your contact option (as in WM dialler).
I don't want to go back to WM6 Dialler because I like everything else but -
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT FROM AUTO DIAL (selected contact) TO AUTO OPEN CONTACT?
Maybe there's a registry setting that can be changed?
PS. I'd also LOVE to be able to make the SCREEN FONT for SMS's in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES Tab, any Ideas?
(MUN zoom doesn't work properly on HD)

What is a MUN zoom?

Mun Zoom was invented for Diamond and consists of a + and - magnifying glass icons. Never really worked properly on Diamond and doesn't work properly on HD.

Help, Anyone??

Yeah, this is an issue that has been discussed here before and as far as I know, there is no ideal solution for it. At least no one here has found any.
The only suggestion I have is to slide over (rather than tapping) the contact name when in the caller ID screen. This of course flips through the various phone entries for the given contact. However, it also means that it selects that contact without calling. Once selected, you have to press Menu (bottom right) and then "open contact". This is the same as opening your contacts list and tapping on a contact.
By the way, once you are in that screen, tapping on a number will initiate a call (or sms depending on what you tap), and tapping on the name of the contact (or picture) will open the contact file for you to edit it.
Like I said, caller ID screen is not ideal, but my suggestion might be a good enough "work around" for you. If you have a lot of contacts in your contact list, then my suggestion is faster than entering the contact list and finding that particular contact.
As far as your sms screen question - sorry, I don't know how.

SMS read delay

Hey guys,
As I'm sure most of you are aware... the touchflo 3d interface on the Touch HD has an SMS message window... now when you receive a message, it obviously displays it. However the "new message" icon appears on the touchflo bar (at the bottom) still while you have the message up for a few seconds. This is quite irritating since it usually appears for longer than it takes for me to read it, so I have to wait for it to dissapear then tap the message to reply in order to not have a new message icon forever!
Anyone know how to change the time it takes for the new message number to dissapear? Ideally I'd like it to be instant as soon as the text is displayed! I'm talking about the little numbers over the SMS icon on the touchflo bar....
hope all that made sense!

Add to this the same issue with unread email. I hate to have to open inbox to mark the item read. Another thing, can't delete email from tf3d, but can delete sms. How to delete email without openning inbox?

There was a possible temporary solution to the email problem.
Try using "Safe" Inbox Extender
NOTE
This is only a temp solution for email and not sms until a proper solution is found

As always, you have been most helpful. Thanks Fallen Spartan! However, what would be more useful would be the ability to mark any/all email read without navigating away from tf3d email tab, i.e. without opening inbox.

This would be the perfect solution, however I haven't seen this anywhere

This is also on my list of annoyances for the email thing.
With the SMS I find it dissapears after about 3 or 4 seconds, so I just wait until I hit reply.

Any way to get the messages "line" on the non sense home screen to go to sms

Any way to get the messages "line" on the non sense home screen to go to sms
Hi all, I decided to not use the sense home page thing and now my phone is much more like the x1 main screen which is ok as I have a few plugins (some still to install) on there and it makes for easy nav... but the message line only links me to the outlook emails rather than all the messaging services... any way I can get it to show text messaging when I "click" on it... cheers

Ok I found out that when you disable sense its called titanium... so is there any way to get the message section on the home screen to go straight to sms messaging instead of emails... actually come to think of it where is the text message option in the list of accounts in the email setting, are they not linked now as they were in the X1...?
