so i switched to a rom without htc messaging and everything is great but the only thing i miss from that is when you hit new message and add recipient you could go into the list and check off people to send to.
in standard you have to add each person individually.
anyone know of an app to match that functionality? it was real handy
yea i know one, its called HTC messaging!
if htc messaging could handle lots of texts n not make me have to empty my inbox daily then id use it
hehe.can't complain myself, never had any problems, but I rarely get more than 30 or so txts built up before I hard reset.
yea for those of us doin like 200 a day its just about the worst software ever. got to the point of soft resets hourly
Um I dont know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about, but when you want to type a new msg and you have the box to type in names, to the right you should have a pawn icon, if you tab the pawn icon you can select multiple contacts and dont have to type their names to auto complete.
Hope that was what you guys were talking about.
the OP isnt using the htc messaging which is what you are using and refering to
found a program called group sms in omarket which is rather old but works.
only issue is when you select a group to send to everyone in the group is pre checked so i have to untick everyone i dont want it sent to. if there was an option for that itd be perfect

Hey guys, I havent heard anyone talking about this but i discovered e bug today!
So here's how it goes :
1: I was typing my sms halfway to person A
2: I went to type another half sms to person B
3: I went back to person A's incomplete sms, completed the message and sent out
OUTCOME: The msg went to person B instead!! But on my message chat log, it says that the msg was sent correctly to person A!
Anyone having this problem? So far I only heard of msg getting stucked in outbox, havent heard of this yet!!
why send 2 messages at the same time? seems a bit confusing!
because I was composing a long message to A. Then B needed me to sent an urgent reply over. So I decided to send B a reply first before continuing to compose e long msg to A!
Anw that shdn't be the problem since my previous phones can all handle this kind of multitasking!!
Yes ive had this problem of a message going to the wrong person even though in the log it states it didnt. Was quite a embarrassing text as well ):
exactly what happened to me! I hope this is e ONLY way to send a wrong msg to the wrong recipients without realising. SIIIGH
Anyone knows how do I feedback to HTC so they can make a patch or someting?!
i also have same problem as well as having text window open with person A and then person B texts me and it comes up on same window as my person A page. so now im replying right after this text of person B thinking im replying to person A and it goes to B. this is after i installed cookie home tab 185 and editor 1851 and then resinstall 185 and same thing. now it can also be after that one sms hotfix that is on hd2 site. whatever is the reason is there a way to fix it. also sometimes under swype my delete button wont work for texting but it will work in traditional qwerty so thats another bug as well as when this bug happens i get this other bug when u type with swype every letter has a period like john is j.o.h.n. and space bar wont work.
i dont know whats up right now i backed up with spb backup and will try uninstall cht and see if it was the cause or not but i dont think ive seen any post regarding this issue after posts for cht 185 on xda. any ideas?
i've read several threads about sms messages going to the wrong person.
i would just like some clarification from you guys! are you using HTC's messaging client or are you using windows mobile's default sms messaging application?
personally, i kept HTC messaging disabled on my stock ROM and i'm currently using an NRGZ ROM (Energy ROM "Standard" Sense June 11, 2010) which does away with the HTC messaging out of the box. i much rather like the stock messaging client and it also keeps your messages in a form that is much more friendly and compatible for backup with pimbackup and/or microsoft myphone.
the only reason i'm asking is if someone can confirm if the problem occurs ONLY and SPECIFICALLY with the HTC messaging client or it has also been known to occur when using the stock windows mobile client?
would just like to know if i should also be careful about my messaging practices...
i can confirm its using HTC messaging which i believe is what it uses as stock and when u do factory reset. i have factory reset three times and still get issues.
How do you disable HTC builtin messaging so i can use WinMo one? thanks.
ok i used Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 to disable HTC and using win mo...it works correctly so far....i have question...how do u turn of the MESSAGE SENT notifcation that pops up after every sent message? i dont see any options for it and under MESSAGE OPTIONS .."request message delivery notification" box is unchecked. thanks

You have to get a registry editor and change these keys:
Code:
[B]HKCU[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)
[B]HKLM[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)

ok i did that and it works thanks...however i didnt have a SMSNoSent available at the HKCU section but I did see it at the HKLM area and enabled to 1.
i have another issue which you may know about. When you send a text...then when that person replies back, you get incoming text notification. When you click to reply to that person and youre in the reply window where the screen is greyish and theres a SEND button thats on the screen itself next to your reply box, sometimes that window shows my reply back to show up before he replied to my original text so its out of order. However, if you go to ALL MESSAGES and view a specific conversation that way then it shows correctly (this is the text reply white window where you see the colors icons next to the names.
Is this bug due to me replying to that text too quickly? so thats why it was out of order. this only happens sometimes ...im going to play around with it to see if it is only due to really quick replies.
Thanks
also i got this other problem. when you are in home screen and you get incoming text you will see the number 1 on your messaging icon and when you click it and reply to text, the number 1 doesnt disappear, it still treats that text you received as new and only way i can get rid of it is delete text which i would rather prefer it disappear after i read text. anyone can help please? thx

This problem was already mentioned here on the forum, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642091&highlight=sms+wrong+contact
One workaround is to use the back or home hard keys instead of the "All Messages" option to travel between conversations.

i got my hd2 on june 1st, 2010. i used the stock ROM for 30 full days with HTC messaging DISABLED (i even wrote a guide about it...search for threads started by me in the HD2 general section). in these 30 days, i learned that disabling HTC messaging had no SERIOUS ill effects, but it did have some annoying odd little problems like you've mentioned in the quoted post above. additionally, my "green LED" would keep flashing for several minutes after reading the last unread SMS. another odd problem was that accessing a contact's page within Sense would work fine until i scrolled to the contact's messaging history tab...it would just close the contact's page altogether! i suspect the reason for this was that this tab relies on a fully working HTC messaging client, which i had disabled!
due to these issues (and a few other issues unrelated to SMS messaging), i decided i had familiarized myself enough with the HD2 and its stock ROM...so i went for a good cooked ROM after a few weeks of research. i highly recommend NRGZ's "energy" ROMs (there are many flavors). all the variants of energy ROMs completely EXCLUDE HTC messaging and the stock messaging works 100% properly with no odd side effects.
you can battle these little issues all you want but you can save yourself some time and effort if you can find a ROM that suits all (or most) of your needs.
PS: it would be nice if someone can suggest even more custom ROMs that also exclude HTC messaging, as described in bold above in the second-last paragraph!

that workaround worked so if im on person A window and i have partial reply text going and get a new text from B and when replyin to B with using back button i can text np.
my thing is sometimes when u have like 4 conversations going ...having it listed like in ALL MESSAGES is useful. im still seeing how having 3 conv. behaves with usin back button but thanks for that.
also since cookie home tab uses htc text app ..i wish i can use the text app that was being used in spb mobile shell 3.5. on that one the gui is better and u just press OK on the partial screen u were on and it will take u back to all messages and u can open and reply anyone n it works. this workaround pressing back key is good but i dont want to hard press a key all the time like this i prefer touchscreen . so in meantime im stickign with my cookie home tab 185 and will use back button for now or winmobile one.
p.s. i tested out this issue on my friends hd2 and neither his htc sense text app or the spb mobile shell text app is buggy and both work correctly. so i either can keep doing factory reset til it works right or deal with it.
The new update maybe can help ...

Hi, I think you didn't realize unfinished texts should be saved as draft, otherwise it reappear in every new message tread input box in hTC message.

After an RMA and getting replacement phone with latest rom i still had the same problem. However, now thers a fix that helped me that TM said it came out june 8th regarding Contacts issue.
My contacts were saved to SIM only so i had this issue regarding texting wrong person. If you save to SIM/PHONE or PHONE only, texting works correctly. So this is the fix for me at least.
At the moment i saved my contacts out of my SIM and into my account. I did factory reset and then tested out texting without any contacts on PHONE or SIM by using numbers. This worked but you may suspect it may be due to using numbers rather than choosing of contact list? I will know soon cuz im waiting for TM to sync up my contacts from my act. to my phone and she had to create a trouble ticket. So when i get my contact list on my phone only, i will try again and make sure its works. Right now im crossing fingers but i believe it will work.

I've never had my contacts on the SIM... and I have this problem. If you use numbers it probably works... the problem is with contacts...
Ive downloaded and use Handcent and yes it is nice. The reason I looked for and started using it was because of the lack of add recipient option when composing a new message in the stock app that is included. I feel like Im just missing how to do this in the stock app. Is it possible? It seems like it would be the most basic option but I can't seem to figure out how.

Normally,in the stcok app, after you put the name of the recipient, you just have to tap again inside the recipient box to add another one. else if you put phone number instead of a contact in the phonebook, then you just have to put a comma between the two phone number.
You misunderstood. The idea is that I don't want to have to type in their name. I want to be able to choose from my list of contacts in my phonebook.
I think the only options now are separating recipients with commas or FORWARD the message to another recipient after you have sent it out. I prefer the latter since it doesn't create a whole new thread.
lol is no one actually reading the question???
I haven't come across a way to add recipients, I always just type the 1st 2 letters and add them from that, IMO its easier than scrolling through a list of a few hundred people
Open contact list. Long press contact then select send message. It then opens messaging app.

Seeing as everyone is misunderstanding you're request I will give you the short answer.. No.
You can't select multiple recipients from a list in the stock app, unlike handscent, where you can.

Sorry... where in the question does it mention multiple recipients? I think i did answer the question!

^ Indeed, why would you even want that inbox-sh*t.
i hate it too and would love to know if it can be turned off.... its the first thing i do on a winmo phone. sometimes i just want to keep one particular text someone has sent. maybe its a personal message or some important information i want to be able to get to straight away. id rather keep all the messages seperate so i can see whats what. with threaded texts its buried in a huge conversation. i can understand why people might want it, but theres plenty who dont want it aswell, so why not give us the choice?
I'm not completley sure, but I THINK Handcent gives you that option..
But I may be wrong and I'm kind of tired so don't expect me to be right.

Well you could scroll to the message you want , press hold it and select lock message. Thus of you delete the entire thread and not tick the delete lock messages button, what you would have left is only the locked message.

Hi,
Nowhere in the manual does it state how to enable a multiple selection of emails.
any help would be appreciated.
I have 462. Hahhahaa!
Go into your mail hub and press the ... (dots) on the bottom right, the second icon that looks like a checklist and says "select" under it allows you to select multiple emails.
Thank you!

Just checked it out. I was here already but don't you still have to check each box individually?
I want to slect all 400+ emails that came in after I set the email up and delete them in one fell swoop.
How do I do this?
Thanks!
It would be easier to delete the account and set it up again.
You can also touch to the left of the email, and it will open the "multiple select" boxes.
If you cannot "select all" and delete, this will be a major disdavantage for this phone.
I receive 40 emails a day.
Please don't tell me each individual email needs to be checked.

I get over 300 emails a day and I do not find the need to delete more than a handful of emails at one time. the clicking to the left approach and selecting multiple works perfectly fine for me.
what emails are you deleting? Is it spam? Does your ISP or company have a good spam filter?

If you receive 300 emails a day or 600 desktop/laptop), wouldn't it be nice to shift/highlight or "select all"?
You are checking 300 on your phone alone.
My 2 year old HTC Fuze could delete all in 2 clicks.

Then go back to your Fuze... if you are asking a question, ask it. If you are complaining about not being able to delete X amount of emails find a workaround... like going on your computer and deleting them from there rather than your phone.
you do realize that unless you're using a pop server, if you delete emails on your comp it'll reflect on your device?
wouldn't it make sense to just delete the spam and whatnot from your computer where it is easier and just read what you need to on the device?
I admit i like keeping a clean account, but damn man 300 is a lot of emails.

I am not complaining. I am asking mr fanboy!!!
I haven't found a way to select all, but if you want to deal with just the unread, you could always shift to the Unread section of your message hub for that account.
Is this Exchange or POP based? I guess I'm really confused about why you want to delete all messages so often (as are so many others) and we just want to help you the best we can.
Well I appreciate your help but I think it is what it is. I personally like "selecting all" 40-50 emails at the end of day and deleting with 1 click.
Nobody sees the benefit of this?

Everyone has their own preferences and finds certain things annoying that others might see no harm in. I agree with the previous poster that if this phone is not to your liking, you may find it better to just go with the old saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and stay with whatever phone you had previously that performed all these tasks for you.
As I've been poking around these forums to see what other people think of the phone, as I purchased one as well, I've noticed that you seem to only have problems and even stated that "this phone is for kids". Not many people seem to take issue with not being able to sync over 500kb worth of info (which I'm pretty sure is false as I've synced 3 e-mail accounts with different contact info, photos, and hundreds of emails in each), and I don't think most people will take issue with not being able to delete 300 emails at once from their phone. That said, you could probably accomplish it easier by doing it from a computer or accessing your e-mail through the browser instead of the app.
I don't mean to come off as harsh, but as it was stated earlier, this just seems like complaining under the disguise of asking a question, but if you really do find these issues so staggering, the beauty of this situation is you have plenty of other options.
I keep getting a notification to request friends from HTC Sense Friends. However all the friends are just listed as "Orange" with the option Request or Ignore.
How can I disable this?
Thanks
What happens is HTCSense.com syncs all your contacts to it's database. In your case, you have "Orange" in your phone book.
When someone else with "Orange" in their phone book (you can imagine that it's quite a lot!) syncs up with HTCSense.com, then HTCSense.com goes "Oh look! This is the same person, maybe these people are buddies!" and suggests that you might be friends with them.
I get it with "Vodafone" and "Voicemail" too. I also had "Aaaaa" which was a remnant of an old featurephone that I would always end up pocket-calling (was one of those phones where pressing the select button takes you into the menu, then the phone book, then the first contact, then calls it - so I put a dummy entry in to stop it from calling anyone!)
Easiest way around it is to rename your contacts to something else. So you could change "Orange" to "Orange Customer Services" - however you'll probably find that someone else has that too...so you might need to get more obscure with your naming!
Or you just disable HTCsense sync (Options->Accounts and sync).
If you don't really use it, there's no point of it draining ur battery while u sleep
what exactly does HTCsense sync do ?
i mean if we stop it from syncing , will that affect the sense.com website and we wont be able to track the phone or ring/lock it ?
Hi all, I'm getting the same thing. At first I was ignoring them but they kept coming back so I clicked the Request button to see if it would go away, but no it says I have them as friends but offers more of the same contacts (main one being "show balance") to add as freinds. Can someone please help cos this happends every second day?

Sorry about that I should have addressed it as I'm still getting the same thing. I did change them by removing letters and it was still showing up and found out it's the number its finding, but after all that I found out that it was O2 numbers from when I joined HTC Sence with a HD2 desire rom and now I'm with vodafone and they aren't applicable so have now deleted them
very sorry about that, I am a Noob
