lower amount of sms loaded while in contact sms view? - HD2 General

hey i use the sms tab at contacts to write and view sms but i have a few people where i have quite an amount of messages and everytime i want to write a sms i have to wait till all the messages are loaded in the conversation till i can start writing
is there a registry tweak to lower the amount which is loaded or something?
i searched the leo forums but i didn't find anything usefull!

I also have this problem, the easy way to solve it is to delete all ur messages at the end of the day, but you shouldnt have to!
Anyone have any ideas

I Wrote this before: don't compromise. a device this powerful can definitely handle massive amount of text messages and display them on the fly.
just write about it to HTC support to put more pressure on them for solving this issue.

is it that hard to just show the last 25 massages and archive the older ones? even apple got it right -.-
maybe someone could write a tweak for this reason ? for me it's a major issue

[HELP]Theming SMS

Is there anyway to theme the default sms program in winmo 6.1? I would like to get it so I can have bubbles like the iphone (different images though)
Also, is there a way to get all your messages displayed on the same long page, instead of constantly paging back every 5 messages?
Note: I don't want any recommendations for alternate sms apps, I have seen most of them and don't care for them
The answer to both your questions is a flat no unfortunately.
I wish it was otherwise. But afraid not.
Answer to first question is no until somebody proves me wrong.
Answer on 2nd question however is yes. You can change the registry and make all your messages appear on 1 page again like before.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...ng-or-conversation-mode-in-windows-mobile-61/
this page offers even a cab file to do the job
What Fruzion means is that he wants the threaded sms displaying more then the last five messages.
Now it's:
Date/Time
Message 1
_________
Date/Time
Message 2
_________
Date/Time
Message 3
_________
Date/Time
Message 4
_________
Date/Time
Message 5
_________
Older messages.
And he wants it to continue with Message 6+
However this is not possible I think and the way WM handles the opening of threaded smses is also bad. I load a list every time you open the massages wich takes a long time to load. So if a conversation contains over 50 messages the loading would be unacceptable. Maybe WM6.5 or 7 will update the sms threading.

You can change a couple of things in the SMS layout by editing the file read_style.css
I enlarged my texts a tad bit i never thought of changing a background, but it could be possible i thinkk!! i'm not sure...

I while ago I found a app that would just do that. However, I had to do a hard reset and lost it. I later could not find it again. I know that it's possible and I do believe I found it at www.pocketpcfreeware.com.

maximum of 6 sms

hi all,
i had an amount of text i had to sent to someone in a sms.
but i couldn't send more than 6 sms in one message. if you know what i mean, sorry for my english.
now, i looked in the reg, try to edit that, but i couldn't find it.
some help? because with the Touch HD it was possible up to 10 sms in one message. maybe more.
thnx in advance
so still no answers?
its been 4 hours, at least give people a chance
The longest sms I have ever written was 3 SMS long, so I can't help you with that. But it seems that phones have a limit here, some can't connect more then 3, other can connect up to 10. Guess you have found one of the limitations on the HD2.
i dont write it, i copy and paste text, would have no thumbs left i guess if i would type the whole thing
but there is no reg fix for it? that is what i want. i cant work like this.
6 SMS are not SMS anymore
it's a mail
Never seen this but i Haven't done a so long SMS
Ya'll dont understand
My father cant recieve email at this phone.
But I can, so i recieve his mail, as a mail, and i forward it as a text message.
Really, it works
Well it used to work with TOUCH HD, but it wont with the HD2.
we understand you but nobody can answer your question because nobody seems to write such a long sms.
I can only say that I think it was the SE K700i could only connect up to 3 sms.
No solution for messages > 6 SMSs, but now that we know what you actually want it for, have you tried looking for a better solution, that seems a really backwards things to be doing all the time.
There are loads of email to sms gateways around, many free. HAve you tried one of those? Small selection: http://www.cellular.co.za/email_to_sms_gateways.htm

thnx for the solution, but the selection you gave, is just forwarding the subject.
and what i need is, the whole message to be send.
but i guess i have send more than one long message, two messages to get the job done.
too bad i could't find anything in the reg tho.
thnx anyway.
Well it looks like you've found out that you'll just need to split the email up and send 2 x 6 sms messages.
Although your topic did put a smile on my face. sms = Short Messaging Service... I somehow don't think it applies anymore...
has anyone found a solution to this limitation yet?
I'd like to write more than 6 sms in a row.

try a MMS? Probably cheaper as well.
maybe you should ask htc support
I would be interested in these feature to!
With my N95 I have reached 9 SMS in one. It would be great to achive that in HD2. If we can tweak the max. recipient for SMS why cant we tweak the max. SMS chain?
Somebody?
i thought he meant to send the same sms to more than 6 people, it is a stupidly low amount you can send to people
?!?!?
yeah this is bad problem i've noticed too
because i want to send more sms to my girlfriend but htc say NO
tc too bad

Don't let the sms limitation bother you. I suspect you rarely write/copy paste such long message so. So for that once in a lifetime sms text message (what the hell are you sending) send it in 2 pieces.
i meant, that there is a limitation of max 6 SMS in a row. i wanna know if this limitation can be set higher for ex. 10 SMS. i didn't know that there is a limitation to the max. of recipients. didn't anyone find a solution to both limitations yet?

SMS take forever to load

Hey guys I have the HD2 but when I have about 40 messages in the inbox from one person and i am opening the text they have sent, even though im touching the phone to write a reply the phone takes ages before it actually lets me write the reply.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there anyway I can speed it up? I find it hard to believe a £500 phone takes this long to load messages!!
Many thanks
Just a quickie. This is a known issue for HD2. Note that there are (at least) two different "SMS issue", so when you search the forum, be sure to look for the right one (SMS lag or lagging).
Look here first
As far as I know, there is not a fix yet. I don't know if the latest hotfix from HTC fixes it (the "hidden" radio update, that is). There not a fix, but there is a trick... Just when you launch the SMS tag, directly tap on the "send SMS" button => A pop window will ask you if you want to send an empty message => you obviouly answer "NO" => And bam! All the SMS are loaded and you are ready to write a new SMS or view the old ones...
Definitely a software related bug. Please report it to HTC, as all of us should...
Many thanks for it mate. Looked therough the thread and yea its the same!
Its a silly bug to be honest as sms is one of the most important aspects of a mobile.
How this got past htc's supposed quality control I have no idea.
Thanks for the tip though! And yes i will be emailing htc with the issue!

SMS Limit at 1060 per contact?

I have one contact which has over 1000 sms record on my HD2. Today while i was replying to the contact sms, i saw that the messages count was only 2. I then went into All Messages and discover that i have the same contact person listed there. One with 1060 sms and another one with 2 sms.
If i click on the 1060 and it just go back to the sense message tab. If i click on the one with 2 sms, i could reply.
I'm wondering if 1060 is the max sms that HTC message app could handle.
If i switch to traditional mode, i can see all messages from that contact.
Anyone has the same problem?
i had a similar thing.. i write like 1k-1.3k sms in one month, most of it with my gf. the sms thread with her deleted itself after like 3 -5 months or so.. couldnt find the sms again.
this happened two times with my samsung omnia.. dont know if it will happen with the HD2 too.. we'll see in 2 months xD
maybe it will not happen so fast here cause it has more ROM than the omnia.. but maybe its fixed in the windows system >.< suxx a bit, but since then i back up my sms every week xD
and btw, im not using the htc messaging... dont like it :/
WOW
I didn't know some people could keep so many messages on their HD2...
What is the use? Contest maybe lol
Or maybe you need to read all the 1060 messages.... (hummm)
Seriously, I think it's not a real problem and we have to be pragmatic sometimes
Just erase messages from time to time like 95% of us all : it's the best fix

or just use myphone and put them in the archive once in a while. works great.
that way you can still read the messages on a pc if you really want to but ur phone is clean

SMS LAG....

I know that there has been many posts about the SMS lag when opening text conversations with loads of texts.
I remember a couple of months back I saw a post on here with a registry edit that reduced the lag time upto 70%.
I can't seem to find this post.
Does anyone know this information....
there are now some newer versions of the messaging client that improves on this bug a little but if you are like me and have contacts with extreme amounts of text messages associated with them (i have one that has over 2600) there is still some delay but not as bad as it was

I know that there are some newer versions, but I'm really looking for the post that showed what to change in the registry.
It wasn't a solution but it mage a HUGE different and am really hoping that someone might know the information.

That's rude!!!! It should be my choice when to delete them. I'll keep an eye on this and see what happens.
I've also noticed that MS my phone can sometimes corrupt the HTC message database when it does a backup so be careful of that one too.
