Hey guys,
I've come from the Diamond1 and I've noticed with the Diamond2 that when you send a text message and you want to send the same text to another person, you can't copy and paste from the sent window.
For example, you can't highlight previous messages sent to you and ones that you've sent and copy them. I find this very annoying, anyway to fix it?
Thanks
I can do it fine if I go into MENU and do SELECT TEXT.
If you don't get the copy/paste options in the menu, you can always set the keyboard to the default wm one, and push CTRl-c, CTRL-v.
It CAN be done...
Under Sent Items, open mail. Text is greyed.
Select Menu\Select Text
Select the text you want
Press & hold on the selected text. Menu pops up "Delete..Forward...Mark as Unread..COPY..Select All" select copy.
Exit message by the back hard button
start new message by menu\new\sms
tap once in message area (not "To:")
Press & hold next to cursor and wait a second - the dotted circle will come out and give you the option to paste.
I have a Diamond 2 Win 6.5 Hellenic.
None of the above can be done with this operating system. Copy-Paste is totally missing.
juz press n hold in the sms
the menu will show "Make Selection" as the first option
select that n select the text u want, press n hold again n you'll get the copy option
I came across this problem yesterday, If I tried to paste more than 640 characters (length of more than 4 sms) it would not paste.
It seems to paste fine if the lengh of the sms is less than this.

Hi, i need to make a call with a number received from an sms, or to the sender of the sms. I need to add a prefix too and i cannot save the number on my address book.
Is there any program to do that?
thanks
i know what you mean. some phones have the highlight function of msgs, so when you recieve a number in an sms it automaticly highlights it for editing or calling. but what i do, is open the message, forward it and then you can edit it before you send a forward. from there highlight the number you want, copy and paste it into a new contact card. if theres a simpler way i'd love to know. maybe we can all bug imate/htc about this and they'll add a highlight function. or is the messaging app the same on all windows mobile phones?
This is a simpler way:
- open the sms and underline the number and press copy.
if you want to call it
- press the green button.
if you want to modify it
- paste into a note and modify it
- copy and paste into the phone

a couple quesitons..
when you say underline do you mean highlight? cuz i do that, highlight the number in the text msg and press call and it calls the message sender not the number in the message. also you cant copy it from the message in an inbox, you have to select forward to edit it and then you can copy it there. i was having problems with pasting it in the phone but just realized you have to tap edit on the bottom left then paste, you cant tap and hold to paste it.
Hi, This is an easy one but couldn't find anything in the forum searches probably wrong key words, but how do you select multiple receipient when sending a txt msg without having the need to go back to menu - add receipient - there has to be an easier way?
Thanks
After you enter the first receipient, just start writting the name of the secondone in the field To, a list will be displayed with your contacts list, just select the one you want; go ahead untill you have added all the contacts you want.
Hope this help ...
Regards
You can also press select (d-pad center) immediately after selecting a contact while you are in the TO field and it will take you back to your contacts where you can search.
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.
I have an HTC Touch HD purchased in the UK on release date.
ROM version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date: 10/24/08
If I get a text message, what is the quickest way for me to call that person *without* adding him/her to my address book.
I think if you hit the call button while reading the text message it will ask you if you want to call the number.
yes
just highlight the number in the text you are reading and hit call
Aha, I never thought of that. Works great, thankyou!
I just tried it with a message and after highlighting the number and pressing the call button, it takes me to the call screen wanting me to type in a number, nothing more.
What am i doing wrong here?
this is what you have to do:
1. go to your message tab from tf3d
2. chose message
3. chose the option of the lower left corner - i belive is something like "more". i have my HD in another language so i don't know exactly, but it should be something like that
4. the windows mobile list of messages will open
5. scroll to your deisred message
6. select it, but don't open it
7. press the "call" button
et voila! complicated but works!
Ok that worked, step 6 is hard cause when you select it, it then opens the message so you have to press back and the number is selected.
Thanks.

thai is because of missing d-pad of the HD. win some, lose some!
you welcome!
open All Messages, open keypad, use down arrow to select message then call
or click and hold message till options open, click message (the options go) hit call
open message, tap the number, it should say call

I can select all contacts In my contacts open but when i go to SMS option i dont have them all. If i choose contacts I can choose the person then send text but not by sms menu
