Possible to start sms application in the background? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I wanted my sms application to be always running in the background so that I can access/send sms quickly.
I put a link of the sms application into the \Windows\Startup\ folder so that it is called up even after a soft reset. The "problem" is that the sms application will be displayed after a soft reset instead of the home screen. Is it possible to set it such that sms application is called up after every soft reset but is running in the background so that the home screen shows up everytime?

Friend, once you start SMS, the SMS application is a always running in the background till the time that you run ouf of memory and the system needs to shut down an application that is not actively bieng used.

True, but why the messaging client have to reload all SMS when opening it ?

The mystery of the vanishing text messages

Set up Vario II yesterday, all appeared fine, installed all my 'must have' software and was ecstatic.
However, I discovered that despite having 'ticked all the right boxes' in options, a soft reset made all my texts (inbox and sent) vanish.
When I created a new folder in inbox to store read messages, and soft reset, this vanished too.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?
Also, if I hard reset and then install a backup, will this re-install the problem?
Any ideas welcome.

Lost messages
I too have disappearing texts on my Tytn. It appears to be just sms messages that disappear and its very frustrating. Its possible it happens after a soft reset and if I havent opened the unread sms prior to reset - also I know its not for this topic but I have also found that my device freezes if I try and open my text messages whilst syncing with WMP. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Actually I have lots of syncing issues with Tytn. Better post a topic. Anyone know of any decent sync software. Activesync is crap!

how do you soft-reset? if you softreset using the stylus it won't write the txt messages and other settings to the memory. If you softreset using the on/off button it should write the messages to the memory. Hold the on/off button for a few seconds and press yes when the message appears on the screen!
Aha!
All of a sudden my text messages don't disappear, in fact, ever since I installed Wisbar lite task manager, which has a soft reset button in the task manager.
On the Vario, holding down the on/off button only closes the device.
So, in conclusion, I reckon that on this machine (didn't used to happen on my old 2003SE) if you use the stylus to reset, then you lose texts, if you use another method then you don't.
Let's hope that's it.

deleted the zoom sms program

I made a mistake and deleted the 'zoom sms' program which shows an example of an incoming sms on your today screen. Is there any way to restore this program without hard resetting my device?

6800 pic/vid messaging and phone alarm

I have a PPC6800 and Alltel has been having some issue with Pic/Vid Messaging. They got it fixed today and it all works fine.
The issue I have is:
When i get a pic/vid message i get notify via windows since PA doesnt have any options on the default settings for pic/vid messaging. Anyway, once i get the message and use the windows menu to go to my pic message to view it all works.
Now comes the tricky part. Once I go to the message, view it and close it i go back to the today screen. If i click on my email or txt message icon on PA I can not access my messaging at all, txt, email, even if i go start/messaging it doesnt work. All other features of PA work fine, I can go to VM, missed calls, I can change profiles etc. I can even go into the set up section.
I can use all other aspects of my phone but once I click on PA it locks up my messaging feature.
Now if i open the pic/vid message, view it close it as before all works. Now if I DO NOT click on the email or txt icon on PA I can continue to use messaging fuctions like normail, but the second i tap on the email or txt icon on PA it locks up my messaging functions.
I have tested this 10 times at least and can duplicate it everytime I try it. What I need to know is how to fix this or what do I need to do to get you the information to fix it in the software. It seems it is a PA software issue since when I do not tap on PA icons all works fine. Also taping on the missed call, vm does not create this issue as they remain functional throughout the freeze of messaging.
Anyone else.. can you test this and see what happens on your 6800.
Thanks
Do you mean, tapping the messaging icon in phone alarm's today plugin doesn't open the messaging window/program?

phone alarm
Correct. when i tap in the phonealarm plug in it only clicks and the same on sms icon.
Once i tap those i cant do any messaging functions until i soft reset to kill PA program totally.

messaging programs not receiving

I have wm6 and installed imsms ( I know its old and not supported anymore- but was hoping for the best) and it worked good for the 1st day. Then it stopped receiving and stopped autostarting. I tried uninstall, reinstall. Nothing, so I tried a couple of other SMS programs also all with the same results, they dont receive or auto start. I can send from all of them fine, but all incoming text messages go to the default wm6 messaging even if I leave the program running
I really want threading as imsms has but am at a loss.
Is there a setting/ registry I can change or something else I am missing that will redirect incoming to the program of my choice ( I would prefer imsms - but something similar would be fine)??

WinMo 6.5: New/Unread SMS icon on Home Screen won't update

Hi guys
The SMS notification icon on the Home screen shows a "1" in green circle but there are no unread text messages in the folder. I have cleared out/deleted every single text message (from inbox, sent items, deleted, outbox, drafts, etc) and done a soft reset but the SMS icon on the Home screen still shows as having 1 new SMS! Also, when i go in to the Windows Messaging (as opposed to HTC's skinned version), it shows that i have 1 new/unread SMS even though when i go in to the folder, there's nothing there.
What can i do to clear this anomaly?
Thanks guys
Mo
Is there anything in the registry that controls the SMS notification on the home page - just something i could clear/change the value?? I'm desperate as don't want to hard reset and i've tried everything else (i think).
Thanks
Thanks to onthemail for the fix:

run program and do reset reset.
Cheers
Mo
the fix works!
Thank you thank you! I have been in to the AT&T store multiple times and they were completely unable to help! I had to soft reset after running the fix, but then it worked like a charm!
