Marking SMS as unread - Touch HD General

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I've read through the wiki, faq, and tried searching for the answer but can't find it anywhere.
I'm using the stock ROM (v.1.56.405.1), and once I've read an sms I cannot mark it as 'unread' again.
If I go into the inbox and don't use the threaded view, in the menu options the 'mark as unread' option is greyed-out and I can't select it. I can't find a similar option in TouchFlo either.
Please can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I'm having the very same problem. Have you been able to find a solution?
Cheers,

Nope, no luck as of yet.

any luck? i have the same problem.
is it 3 of us only having this problem?

I have started using the 'Energy' ROM for my Touch HD, and even in this (and Topix's ROM) there's still no way to re-mark a read txt as unread that I can find. I think it must just be a limitation of the phone. The only solution will be for someone very clever to make a little program that adds the function as an extra feature

how to stop notifications for email

I have gone to Notifications/Messaging: New e-mail message, and unchecked the box "Display message on screen." But I still get a notification message on the screen whenever there is an email. How do I stop this? (I've already searched this forum and could not find the answer, although I've seen the question asked before.)
just going to bump this up i have this issue also
yup, same here!
The more annoying one for me is the SMS sent notification.
What OS/ROM are you people using? I have never had this issue with any of the stock or WM6 ROMs I've used.
As for the SMS Sent notification, there are myriad apps that you can use to disable this. SK-Tools is one, but it's not free. HTweakC also has this option, and it is free, but you need to register with the DL site in order to get it.
If you have a Reg Editor, you can set it yourself with the following excerpt from the Wiki:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSNoSentMsg"=dword:00000001 ->0 to enable, 1 to disable.​Note ... the Wiki page I'm referring to is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry[/INDENT][/B][/FONT]
And it also has information about, and a link for HTweakC.

[EDIT] As an afterthought, I realized that I DO have phoneAlarm installed, and I believe that I get better control over the notifications with that tool. Maybe this is why I don't experience this issue? [/EDIT]​
Pvs, thanks for your reply. I have a Cingular 8525. It has had this problem from the time of original purchase--two months ago--using the stock configuration that comes out of the box. I recently upgraded to the new ROM on the HTC website, but I am not using WM 6 or anything like that. I still get a notification message on the screen whenever there is an email, even though I have unchecked the box "Display message on screen" under Notifications/Messaging: New e-mail message.
@Tim1234: FWIW, I used Sounds & Notifications to turn my screen notification for emails off (I typically leave it on), and it worked as its supposed to. At this point, I'm not sure how to solve your (and obviously others) problems with this.
Just to make sure ... you ARE talking about the bubble that appears at the bottom of the screen, right? You are NOT referring to the icon that appears on the top command bar. If it's the icon at the top, I don't think there's a way to disable it...though I may be wrong.
FWIW, I am currently using one of the WM6 ROMs, but I don't believe that is the issue.
Maybe someone else will chime-in with some other info. Sorry I could not be more help.

Yes I am talking about the bubble that appears at the bottom of the screen.
bump.........

SMS/Emails (Where are the icon indications)

Hi all, did a quick search to find nothing related to the below:
I am having hard time knowing which SMS I have replied, or which email I have forwarded.
The icon in the inbox never changes, only an unread messages becomes read but no indication if it has been replied or forwarded.
If anyone could advice or point me to the right direction please, many thanks.
Did you try HD Tweak?
I think you can set what you want using this app.
SMS / Email Icon.
Hi GoldCoin, I have checked HD Tweak and found that you can get sent notifications although this is not necessary.
What I meant was, when you reply to a SMS the icon in the inbox should change. An example, you can go to your hotmail account and reply to an e-mail or forward and you will notice the envelope gets marked that it has been replied/forwarded too.
I have attached an example of the icons.
I hear you...
I'm looking for the same feature.
I recently changed from 6.1 to 6.5 on my diamond, don't remember the name of that rom. But i actually had the feature.
However i've now changed to a different 6.5 (lower mem. usage), and it doesn't have the feature, i'd be very happy to hear from anyone who knows the solution. Will keep investigating myself though
Ironic, it's a business phone and they forgot the icons. Work around, I have added 2 additional folder in my email inbox: Replied and Review. Once I have replied an e-mail I move the message to Replied folder, that way I can track which ones I have left to reply. Other e-mails that need reviewing goes into the Review folder which I usually access through the PC due to it either being a large excel/presentation or just a forwarded email.
Hmm, you're right.
I could have sworn that my original stock ROM had those little icons. I think it was the same envelope icon with a little green arrow on it.
I'm now using Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM and all the icons (in the windows sms application) are the same.
Does anyone else also remember that icon I described, or am I just imagening things?
One thing I do notice is in the SMS/MMS inbox.
If you have it set up to "threaded view", then in the list of messages in the inbox, it will show a short preview of the last message in the thread. If you wrote the last message, then the preview starts with "Me:". That's a quick way to know if you responded to a given text message.
However, the problem still remains when using emails.
I hope someone can figure this one out.
I had the feature in a ROM cooked by someone from xda-dev, don't remember which one though, I still have the ROM somewhere on my computer, and I'm trying to locate it and figure out who to ask about it.

cool!
I posted a question about it in Dutty's 3.7 ROM thread, but I haven't had any responses.
Well, i found out that the rom I was using, was one of Lobsterdave's...
However i also found out, that on my current rom (6.5) if I: open the inbox, press a message to open it, and use the reply soft-key, it will actually work.
A bit teedious, but the only way for now.
I asked in the thread of the rom, and wasn't really supplied with anything useable. Just a suggestion to cook my own rom...
I'm actually going to give a try. Until then I gotta admit... I'm starting to loose hope.
I think maybe the rhodium manilla, is able to flag messages, without opening inbox and so on. But that's not an option for me, as I'm running the old TF3D.

Don't Want To See "Conversation With"

How can I get messenger to stop showing EVERY message when I reply to a message.
It takes up the whole screen pretty much and I can hardly see any of what I'm typing.
I just want a blank message/ screen. Don't need the whole "conversation with" thing.
So how do I do that??
Thanks
Larry
Do you mean SMS or MSN Messenger?
if its SMS you can change the option between Threaded which is what your describing or classic, look in your sms options I have upgraded my Rom and its a different process but same outcome.
I believe when you open an sms you have the options there, or in your settings someone with an original or similar Rom will answer more correctly sorry
Another option is HD Tweak its a great tool with lots of options sms viewing is one of them find it here http://www.montecristoff.com
Hope thats what you mean

email/sms mark as read function

I'm wondering if anybody knows if there's any way to get a "mark all as read" option from the TF3D screen on my mail and sms tabs. I have downloaded the "safe inbox extender" cab, which is better than before, but it would really be ideal if you could add an option in the OUTER tf3d tab so one doesn't actually have to go into the accounts page at all.
install this cab

sorry I didn't read the rest of your post. but the answer to your post is NO
I'm wondering why this isn't available myself. The inbox extender is great, don't get me wrong but being able to mark all read from the TF3D would be amazing!
Bump!
Why isn't this available? Also, why can't you reply, reply to all, forward etc... from the email tab (like you can in SMS tab)?

Capital letters after . using TF3D

Hello
Is there absolutely no way to get automatic capital letters when starting a sentence without deactivating HTC sense? I have tried searching, but cant find a definite answer. I really like TF3D, and this is my only problem with it. It seems that when i start a new message it works, but if i reply in a threaded message, it doesnt.
I have recently updated to Windows mobile 6.5 through HTC´s webpage, if that makes any difference.
If someone knows, I like to DEactivate capital letters after a "." in SMS!
so ... go to settings, all settings - get to input and the options. You have there: Capitalize first letter of sentence
Cheers
for win 6.5, all settings - personal - input and options
Thank you, but this solution does not work, when replying in a threaded message.
When i receive a message, I go to the "text-message" slide in HTC sense to view the message. Then i press the message to view the previous messages (thread), and write a reply. When writing the reply, Capital letters after . is not working even though i have activated the function mentioned above.
Any help? I can not believe that HTC cant fix this, it is so simple, and works on all other brand mobiles.
Anyone found a solution for this yet? For me this has also been an annoyance in using the reply function in threaded texting.
Thanks in advance.
this is absolutely true. ):
no news?????
No one knows how to solve the problem??
