SMS Mark as read option...

Hi there,
on my Trion PPC with WM5 I have tried to work out a way to mark an SMS as read, without opening the messaging app by the push of one hard key. So far I couldnt get it to work. Has anyone come across a way do it ?
Reason is, that on WM5 the message self displays for a while upon reciept, so no need to futher open the Messaging.
Greetings

nice idea. i am also planning on adding this option for the application im creating.
any ideas?

upon receiving a notification, right soft button, and select 'save as read..'. Doesn't open the messaging apps, but not a 1 button solution.

The soft button way is obvious, but thats several clicks. Does anyone know how to assign a command under a short menu to a button ?
A One touch solution is what we need, its so anoying having to do so many steps each time you get the new sms pop up.
Greetings
Paddy

I would do it like noted above.. Add a button to the menu's of the notification .. and let it invoke a dll or application which uses MAPI functions to mark the sms as read.

anyone have this problem with mesaging.

lets say i've got a new text, well i press my messaging button to go to my texts, then when I press the new text, it goes back to my today screen, but when I press my messaging button again, it goes to the text that I chose like it didnt even go to the today screen? any ideas guys? tia

I have this happen but not with text messages but rather with new email messages. The exact same thing happens as you say. I will open the email and it will go back to the today screen but once I press the email messaging button it will open up to that email.
If you say your getting this problem with text messages and you press the messaging button I'm assuming your not using the threaded sms hack. I'm using the threaded hack so thats why I don't need to press the messaging button to open new text but I do need to press that button to open emails.

I've never tried a threaded sms before, how is it, and can you post a cab or a link to it for me? thanks man.

Here is a link to start you off http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135927.

i'm having that issue as well, assumed it was the threaded sms for wm6 that i just installed. could be related to something else though as it sounds like you're not using the threaded app...

yep, count me in as well, that happens in both SMS and Emails

so did anyone find a fix, or solution to this? kind of aggravating at times. tia.

oh and medic or anyone else using the threaded sms, is it worth it to you all? can I remove it if I dont like it? tia again guys.

I have ContactCM installed and hav e the same problem. All in all it sounds like a bug in Windows Mobile 6 because I haven't heard of anyone on 5 having this problem.

1 week in

please can someone help
i have had the phone a week now and there are a few niggles that are annoying me. the main one is contacts. is there anyway that when i select the icon on the home screen it takes me straight to the contacts list as opposed to my favourites? thanks
also - the phone doesnt go in to landscape mode during email or text, should it, or is there a way i can turn it on?
thanks

I know on mine there is an All Contacts button on the Home page. This saves you even scrolling over to contacts...

I recommend you to load a new ROM with which u'll find solutions to your pblms. Mine is Laurentius v 2.2, which is great !
Landscape on browsing, sms, etc... : easy !

thanks for your replies. actually, the most annoying is that when in emails i cant scroll down to delete trash etc without opening it. i think i am missing the little d pad on my beloved hd touch

When you're in the email inbox, all you have to do is tap and HOLD on the email header and it'll give you the option to delete it without ever opening it. Or you can delete multiple emails at once via the "select messages" option in the menu and then delete. It shouldn't be a problem...
As for the landscape problem, there are several programs that'll give you the ability to change to landscape mode whenever you want (e.g. HD Tweak, Advanced Configuration, Quickmenu, etc)

cool, thanks for the info there

1 unread SMS, can't find it anywhere!

Hi all,
Since accidentally sending myself a text yesterday evening, my Touch HD won't get rid of a 1 unread SMS icon on the TouchFlo3D bar, as well as in the 'All Messages' view. There isn't an unread text anywhere in there! I've spent almost an hour going through each and every conversation in my inbox, making sure I read through from top to bottom, but it won't get rid of the notification.
Also, it won't vibrate when I get a new text. This is really annoying, as I permanently have my phone on silent and in my pocket - and I never know when someone's texted me!
Is there something I can do to mark all texts as 'read' in my inbox? Or maybe change a registry setting or something to reset it? I can't think of any other way to get rid of it. Something's obviously gone wrong somewhere.
I'm currently using Miri's v22 WinMo 6.5, if that helps?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Search and you shall find. I've come across many threads in this in the blackstone section (i've also had trouble with it myself in the past) Good luck

hi guys wat i can understand from above, to get rid of the unread message u need to go into all messages and then tap on LHS top where it says Inbox and select outlook or mail/inbox....there will be a welcome mail, mark it read or delete it and u wont have any un read message, then to go back tap on lhs top and go sms-mms/inbox
for the vibration on a sms recieved make sure u select vibrate in volume profiles as silent means no ring tone no vibration in HTC context.
i hope this helps

Try this:
"Safe" Inbox Extender
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265
It adds a 'Mark all as read' function to the menu.

Thanks for the replies folks. I did a search and found numerous threads, so far I've tried backing up using PIMBackUp, then restoring it which overwrites the messages and apparently resets the counter. That didn't fix it. Then I tried the Safe Inbox Extender, that 'Mark all as read' option didn't fix it either
Am going to try flashing to Miri's latest ROM (was going to do it soon anyway, before I got this problem), and am just hoping and praying that when I restore from backup that the problem won't come back with it! Else I'm going to go insane

If you perform a restore of contacts, sms & emails you will no doubt still have this issue.
Have you tried going into All messages > Inbox > select outlook or mail/inbox and then either delete message or mark it as read

Is there a way to see entire "long" messages in stock SMS client

Hello,
I cant believe that Galaxy S stock sms client cut of long sms messages and you have to dig deeper in the sms client to see the entire message.
Is there a way to change this behavior, so that you see the entire message in the stock sms threaded view ?
I have installed Handscent sms to solve the problem but it would be nice if the stock sms client could do the same.
And another question,
If I would like to change what starts if I press the "message icon" on the home screen from the stock sms client to Handscent sms client. Is there a way of doing that, so when I press the "message icon" Handscent sms start immediately.
Thanx for you time,
//arcspin

Dunno how handscent works, but just go to editmenu, and replace the messaging icon with the handscent icon?
edit: Applications -> menu -> Edit -> move the applications around

SWEET
I never understood that you could switch the home screen icons as well.
I'm impressed with that...not so much when they cut messages short but anyway...
Galaxy S is getting more and more pleasant to use
