Does anyone know if there is a way to make HTC SMS messaging default to 'All Messages' (ie. display the list of 'Conversation mode' texts) rather than bringing up the last message when you select the SMS tab?
I'm sure I saw something about this on this forum a long whil back, but after half an hour searching tonight I can't find anything.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
anyone??

You want to show up the complete HTCMessaging directly in the Tab? That is absolutely not possible.

To clarify, what I want is that, when you select the HTC messaging icon on the tab slider at the bottom of the screen, rather than displaying the last message (incoming or outgoing) and giving an 'All Messages' soft menu item at the bottom left, I want something that displays 'All Messages' straight after selecting the HTC messaging icon.
You might be right and it may not be possible, but I live in hope.
I would love this functionality as well....nothing doing though?
You can't change the behaviour of the tab slider, but you can add the "Messages" app as a quick link... this way, when you click it on your homescreen, it takes you directly to all messages...

Hey guys,
As I'm sure most of you are aware... the touchflo 3d interface on the Touch HD has an SMS message window... now when you receive a message, it obviously displays it. However the "new message" icon appears on the touchflo bar (at the bottom) still while you have the message up for a few seconds. This is quite irritating since it usually appears for longer than it takes for me to read it, so I have to wait for it to dissapear then tap the message to reply in order to not have a new message icon forever!
Anyone know how to change the time it takes for the new message number to dissapear? Ideally I'd like it to be instant as soon as the text is displayed! I'm talking about the little numbers over the SMS icon on the touchflo bar....
hope all that made sense!

Add to this the same issue with unread email. I hate to have to open inbox to mark the item read. Another thing, can't delete email from tf3d, but can delete sms. How to delete email without openning inbox?

There was a possible temporary solution to the email problem.
Try using "Safe" Inbox Extender
NOTE
This is only a temp solution for email and not sms until a proper solution is found
As always, you have been most helpful. Thanks Fallen Spartan! However, what would be more useful would be the ability to mark any/all email read without navigating away from tf3d email tab, i.e. without opening inbox.

This would be the perfect solution, however I haven't seen this anywhere
This is also on my list of annoyances for the email thing.
With the SMS I find it dissapears after about 3 or 4 seconds, so I just wait until I hit reply.
I didnt like the way the emails and messages opened in the home tab, ie it goes straight to the latest message so I added the mail and messages programs from the start menu to my quick links which corrects these problems. However, there is no notifications on the quick links to notify me if I've got a message or not. Is there a way you can get notifications to come up like it does on the home tabs?

You can set notifications to show on screen messages for these events, yeah.
Go to Settings, All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab) and when you go to message or new email message, you can set it to "Display message on screen".
Hope this helps

Unfortunately not because if I go into settings I don't have an option for 'All settings'. The only option I can find for notifications is under display and sounds, and I can only change the sounds and vibrate for notifications. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry - it's the settings tab, then Menu, then All settings.
It's frustrating because All Settings is what the settings icon in the start menu used to do, and some people have modified the registry so that it's back that way (me included), so when you want someone to go to settings, you have to actually tell them to go to the settings tab, then menu, then all settings, when you just want the bloody windows settings screen!! lol

Thanks, I never even knew that all settings was even there.I'll see if that works, cheers
The notification wasn't exactly what I was after, with the fix suggested above a pop up comes up saying new sms which is not exactly what I was after. What I wanted was something like on the messages on the tabs where you get a green circle superimposed with a number of how many messages you have. Can that be done?
Ah - I see what you're saying now. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Have you looked at MaxManila at all? That does exactly what you're asking.

Anyone knows how to enable a 'menu' (right softkey) with say 'mark as read', 'reply', 'delete' and 'dismiss' when a sms alert pop up?
Now there's only a 'Hide' on the left softkey.

I would like to know that too. But so far, no progress on this..
Any solution for this yet? Since there is a preview of the message already, it makes sense that we can just dismiss the message outright rather than just hide....
Looks like the culprit is Messaging Service that HTC installed, however disabling it will render the HTC Messaing app unusable - no text messages can be received. Even though I kinda liked this app, I'm ok to use POutlook, as I used it before on my previous phones. Because having "dismiss" and "save as read" options right in the notification is more important to me.
So I did this:
1. Renamed value "DLL" under HKLM\Services\MSG to "_DLL" (this will disable this service)
2. Renamed key HKLM\System\Inbox\ExternalAccounts\SMS to "_SMS"
However I noticed that SMS count is no longer updating. I searched this forum and I found this: _ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614.
There is a CAB that fixes the count problem.
PS: Damn. Tried to submit this message and got this: "To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.". Changed http to _ttp in the link above.
on my phone, the sms preview automatically disappear after 2 seconds...do anyone know how to change this ?
i have artemis 8.0 rom
thanks
Hello,
Q1) There are only 3 alarms available in Windows Mobile 6.5. Does anyone knows how to add more?
Q2) Also, I remember when i was using HTC Touch, when new SMS comes in, it appears on the screen and i was able to either 'hide' or 'open' the SMS. On HD2, when I set it to show new SMS, I can only hide it but I can't open it to read. Instead, I have to go through 'HTC Messages'. Does anyone knows how to have both options 'hide' (on the left) and 'open' (on the right) available when new SMS shows up?
Please see attached screenshots if I did not manage to explain well.
Appreciate all kind advice.
Many thanks in advance!
I've tries to add more entries in the registry to add more alarms, but apparently it doesn't work.
and I've no clue for the sms issue either.
does anyone have the same issues as me? any clues?
thanks.
galarm
i guess
indeed, I've read about all e good comments about it. in fact, I installed it 2 months ago, but I encountered problems like battery drains n missed alarms. I've since uninstalled. maybe this problem is not too common with other users, but it was a problem for me..
thanks for your suggestion though.
pTravel alarm?
Works well for me and no battery drain... also if you are on the lock screen you can tap the open widget then swipe the sms widget and it opens sms screen or if you tap on the task bar it will give you the list of things to look at and one of them is the messages screen...
For the SMS, why not just turn off on-screen notification. When you get an SMS you'll get the usual audio/vibrate alert, and an icon in the taskbar. You can then just click on the SMS tab icon at the bottom and you're looking at the SMS. 1 click and you're there.
For the alarm question... there's a registry setting for this, but I don't know what it is. If you use BsB Tweaks you can enable "Windows Notifications" mode which "Enables dismiss X time in notification". This is a crap description and I used to just ignore this option as it sounded completely uninteresting. Then I found out what it is.
With this enabled, you get the option to select a sleep time for an alarm when it's going off (see the attachment). I doubt my boss would be impressed if I chose the last option though
It will at least free up your second alarm as you could just snooze the first one for 10 minutes.
I am also interested in the being able to open an sms from the notification dialog...
On Q1: I've been using SPB Time since quite long time. The new edition 2.1.2 is really awesome. And it answers to your question
On Q2: When I receive sms I have sound + icon above on the taskbar. So if I click on the icon - "notification" window opens and after another click on new sms icon you see your sms. Just you pay one click more.

It would be nice if on the notification "balloon" you had a Reply button that would automatically open the thread where that sms is in...

indeed, i remember this option to open sms on notification used to be available in older wm versions. and we could also dismiss instead of hide the sms.

Hello guys!
My first post on this forum, please excuse me if this has already been covered, but I don't see it anywhere..
The sms preview screen is driving me nuts... I always click on "All messages" to see threaded view...
Is there any way to mod the phone so it just goes STRAIGHT to "all messages" in threaded mode when you click on the text messages icon?
Are there any cab files available for the issue? I don't see a way to disable it right on my phone out of the box...
Many thanks!!!
BTW. I'm talking about the simple black screen with white font that pops up when you move the slider on the home screen to "Messages".
That black screen is so freaking annoying!!!
Bump, Anyone?
well....
well i dont know of a way to make the tab go straight into all messages, but you could uncheck the show messages tab in settings=personalize home tabs and just add a shortcut for messages to your homescreen
DUDE!!! That was one of those things that was right in front of my face but I didn't see. Excellent call. It's an even easier way to get into messaging than what I was trying to get.
Cheers!
i use CHT so i disabled the tab and set the defualt messaging client to the message icon in my start menu
