Hi There,
more questions I'm afraid
1. Is there any way to remove the 'outlook e-mail' (activesync) off completely on the XDA - i don't use activesync to sync mail at all - I use POP3 and it really annoys me that when I press the messaging button, I have to switch to a different mail / SMS account
2. For some reason, if i include an apostrophe (') in my text message, the message length instantly shortens to 70 from 160 - does anyone else's do this - how can I stop it. Update - tried turning UNICODE off which solved the shorter messages, but now 's come out as ?s
3. Whenever I send a multi-message sms (usually by accident because of the above) my recipient just recieves a single blank SMS - any ideas?
Cheers Guys!

I have the same problems as you (1 and 2, but not 3)
1) I don't think you can remove the ActiveSync Outlook E-mail or change the default messaging. I tried this a had to do a hard reset!!!
2) Not sure about the apostrophe (') thing, I think it must be something to do with the fact that because it used the auto text it takes up more spaces in the text message. You can delete it but it does take longer. I just use the typing prompt which shows you possible words for your current selection and this avoids the auto apostrophe.

Hi
I have setup the email button on my XDA IIs to launch pocket outlook with my pop account as the default. See my post at the end of this thread:

Hi Nigel
Thanks for the Advice - I tried changing this to "Text Messages" and just "Text" but this doesn't want to work - any ideas?
Thanks
OK, close the messaging app (completely) from settings --> system --> memory --> Running Programs.
Then goto Settings --> Personal --> Buttons, and change button 4 from messaging to some other program. Tap OK, use the messaging button to start that other program, quit said program, go back into Buttons, and change button 4 back to messaging. Try to launch messaging.
It much cache the old info somehow.

Nice one, that worked a treat!
I'll remember that one from now on!
Thanks,
Dom
annoyingly, not working for me yet
@XDADOM - what did you write for the account/service name?

The apostophe problem is a bug that HTC are working on...I've got an XDA2 with 2003SE and I have the same issue!

Hi,
This is my first post, so I'm a bit uncertain as to where it belongs...
I have a Trinity, but the problem is more Windows Mobile related, I guess.
When I open a message in pocket outlook (any message, IMAP mail or SMS), the message openes, but scrolled to the "second page" (even when the SMS is only 3 lines long)...
I can scroll up, and see the whole message; but it's annoying.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
It is to do with the settings of Internet Explorer when the navigation is set to scroll line by line instead of jumping between links.
Installing jasjamming's Pimp My Black tweaker (search this form for it) and disabling this D-pad behaviour fixes it.
Hmm... actually this doesn't solve the problem, it is still "scrolled", but only till the second hyperlink (being the from-line, which is almost at the top).
is there any hack to enable this? are there any freeware apps that can accomplish this task? I have looked through many related threads but have not gotten anywhere. any help you guys might offer would be more than appreciated.
thanks in advance...

There is Register setting as below (BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE CHANGING THE REGISTRY)
Repeat notifications for text , email messages and missed calls
Under HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications find the following keys for Email, Text messages and missed phone calls:
A877d65Axxxxxxx
A877d65Bxxxxxxx
A877D660xxxxxxx
Also find Key 15F11F90xxxx for reminders.
Copy the Options value from the Reminders key and overwrite the options value in missed calls or both email and text message keys with this value (1073741853)
Once you have done this, go to start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications. Under events, select new email message, new text message or missed calls and you'll notice that the repeat option that was grayed out is now enabled and can be selected.
Cheers (dont forget to backup your device before)
I have tried the similar approach (using other software that seems to able to hack the Notification settings) to enable the repeat option. With that enabled, I have a problems with my 5 seconds WAV sound for SMS. When I cancel the message while the WAV is playing, it is somehow not recognised as a 'dismissed' notification, and it keeps on 'bugging'. That's quiet a while ago, and possibly on the 1st versin of WM5. Probably you'll get lucky on the newer OS, but I think the may have the option greyed out for a reason.
Anyway, do that Bulldog said, backup your system, just incase you need a hardreset.
Everytime I send or recieve a sms message to/from a person in my contact list, his/her birthday notification gets doubled in my Calendar.
I tried to remove all double notifications in Outlook (on my pc), syncd. and the double notifications on my TP went away.....
However, after receiving a new sms, the problem came back again.
I had this problem with many WM devices, and it bugs me a lot that I can't resolve this problem.
I also tried to remove the double notifications with Memmaid, but again the problem reoccurred.
Can anyone help me?
(and don't tell me to search because I did.....with no result)
Suggestions:
Did you disable the "Add new number to contacts...." under settings/personal/phone??
Or change the Name display for known numbers to a lower value, if you just see the number and not the name. (advanced config, you know the tricks)
Other than that, it can only be Outlook, sorry, no suggestions, i avoid that crap.

I can't believe that I'm the only one with this problem
yes, "Add new number to contacts..." is disabled.
The problem has nothing to do with my contacts (no double contacts/Sim contacts sh*t. I know how to get rid of those)
perhaps you are right: it might be a Outlook problem....
I will digg deep into my Outlook setting tonight to find the problem, I just hoped that I was not the only one and that there was an easy fix for my problem.
Thnx karloe!
I am having trouble with SMS. When i go to NEW SMS, i usually just entered the first letter of my contact who i want to send a message to, and then a pop up window would appear showing all the contacts i have beginning with that letter. It's almost like a pre-selecting filter within SMS.
Since i changed my keyboard, this facility has disappered! Now i have to type in the full name and then go to CHECK NAMES and then select from there. It is a slow process as i have hundreds of contacts on my phone.
It was so much easier when the pop up window was shown. How do i get it back without deleting the finger friendly keyboard?
I solved this issue. Takes 10 seconds to do:
instructions... browse registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll
soft reset device.
in the future, please don't double post questions.
thank you
Hello everyone,
Very odd. Whenever I reply (text message) this one person, this is what is already there in my text box on my TB. It's very annoying. It's there automatically, without me entering in ANYthing. So far, it's only happening with one of my contacts, but I haven't tried texting ALL of my contacts yet, so I don't know how widespread the problem is. Does anyone know what's wrong/if there's a fix?

For the fix go ask George's girlfriend.
If I am reading this right, I had a similar problem before.
I entered some text. Had to back out of SMS for some reason. Everytime after that, whenever I open to text the same person, the partially typed message would be displayed even if I had sent a finish version of that message already.
So... did you type in whatever it is that's bugging you before, or did it just appear out of thin air?
I don't remember how I fixed my problem but it was fixed. Try deleting your draft? Rebooting your phone?
Simple, in the mms apk
Down at the bottom there are three or two icons, slide over to the second and open the text message with the text.. now delete it and back out
Repeat the process because sometimes it saves more than one draft
The reason it does this is because the first icon is the "all" tab and so it doesn't allow u to delete drafts
So u have to navigate to the SMS/mms and delete from there

I had the exact same problem. I did the suggestions previously posted. I ended up having to delete the message cache. Do a search on and Android Central for my post since I can't remember exactly what to do.
I found the thread but can't post url. Need a few more posts.
If you haven't got it fixed try:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All. Tap "Messages" and clear cache.
I had this happen.
Go to messaging app, then to menu, then to drafts. Delete the drafts and the problem should be fixed.
