It looks like a feature in the Notes app has disappeared with the arrival of WM6. I used to be able to scribble down text and then later select "recognize" from the menu and then it would turn the scribble into text (sometimes). The menu option isn't there in WM6.
Does anyone know if it's possible to put it back, or else find a way of gettign the old app to run on WM6?
Thanks for any advice.
While it's missing in the Notes app, it's still available in Word Mobile under WM6. . . at least, it is on the Wizard Xplore WM6 ROM (which is the one I'm using)

I just noticed on my Cingular Treo 750 that there is no Transcriber tool. Is this the same for everyone? I know on my 8125, with the built-in Notes application, I can do hand-written notes (and not have that transcribed to typed notes) and draw as well adding pictures and illustrations. I can't seem to find that functionality here on the 750. Could someone tell me if it's like this for all Treo 750 or if it's just mine/Cingular? I like the option of adding a drawing or illustration once in a while.
Figured it out. Someone on another forum said that under menu, there's a draw option for those of you who may also be interested in this. I also discovered that if you handwrite text in the "Draw" mode that is described, and then go back to menu, tools, recognize--it will "transcribe" handwritten text into typed text.
I am using the MostBeautiful ROM.
One function of previous ROMS I miss is the following:
In the past I just had to enter the first letters of a contact in the recipients-field of new mails, mms or text messages. A pull-down menu appeared and I just had to select the desired contact. The function pasted the mail adress/mobile number by itself.
Now, I have to search in the contacts by clicking on "To" or to enter the adress/number by myself.
Does anyone know, how to add the missed function?
have you figured this out?
my new XDA ZINC has the same problem... i cant seem to auto-complete the email addresses and sms numbers. this used to be a feature i had on an older xda phone.
please let me know if you found a solution.
thanks.
That feature works in the newer WM6 roms. I know it works in mine (Crossbow Reloaded) and I seem to recall it worked in Xplore 1.1, Faria Vanilla, and NTS. I do remember it didn't work when I had MBE.
It works on my BE rom... only weird thing is that it shows both the Phone's Contacts and the SIM contacts even though I have the SIM contacts hidden... so I have doubles every time.
any thoughts on how i can get it working on my xda zinc?
thanks.
Me too!
i have the sme problem, running Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.
I am missing the auto-complete in the "To:" field of the SMS application.
Does anyone know how to enable it?

I found that i had this problem after changing a certain registry key.
Try making the following reg entries
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/keyboard layout/Preload/default="e0010409"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/keyboard layout/Preload/1/default="e0010409"
Then wait for 60seconds to make sure the reg is saved, then soft reset your WIzard. Worked for me.
They are already there ... !
Not working here too.
Dear All,
I searched for this, but couldn't find any reference to this particular issue. I tried all the latest 6.1 ROMs and it looks like a WM thing.
All ROMs, have this new "FEATURE" which let's you view the SMS as a thread of messages instead of one at a time.
This is great, the only drawback is, that I can no longer move threads or indvidual SMSs to different folders; even the option to manage folders is dimmed (also the move option).
The only work-around that I have found, is to delete the message, go to the trash, and move it from there. However, there is still no way to create a new folder.
Any Ideas/Suggestions/Solutions for this issue ?
I too miss the split SMS/MMS. I wonder if it is possible for our favorite chef to put ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 in his latest ROM and have it work properly?
This would make it possible to run Vito SMS-Chat and receive MMS properly. If Dutty's latest did run so damn good I would revert back for this reason alone.
I remember communicating with a very talented individual named Shogunmark. I'm SURE that this individual could separate the SMS and MMS. I don't think it was via XDA though. Seems I met him through another site.
Check out this thread. Simple registry hack to disable threaded SMS in WM 6.1.
I've done a quick search that didn't really turn up any results, so I wonder if this is even possible. Is there a cab file available that will replace the regular sms with the wm6.1 sms on a wm6 device?

In order to run Threaded SMS on WM6, you need to install a 3rd party program such as PalmSMS.
Hello
I own an HTC Touch HD device running on WM6.1.
I have loaded quite a few external applications such as Pocket Informant and Flexmail onto my device because they're a lot better than the inbuilt ones. However, the problem is that the Word Completion setting will not work in these programs. This is the setting that, once you've typed in two letters, starts to give you words on the screen that you can then tap on rather than have to type in full. It saves a lot of typing time so diary entries, e-mails and text messages can be more quickly inputted and sent.
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how I can enable word completion to be triggered in all programs through maybe a registry hack or any other means. I would be very grateful for your assistance.
Regards
Nigel
Same problem here wit ha P6500, anyone??
Hello xda community and thank you for your help in advance!
I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro, running WM 6.1, stock rom. Couple of questions:
1. i've been hunting for an instant messenging client that would pop up a notification icon (like blackberry messenger does on the berry) when there's a new IM; reveal the time of the msg when you roll cursor over msg in the msging pane (again like bbm), and preferably, also include the msg in your inbox until you open it (again like bbm... see a pattern here? haha.) any thoughts, please? i've tried the stock program with wm, as well as palringo, and fring. none of them do these. and i keep missing IMs. sigh.
2. i uninstalled palringo because it didn't do what i needed. however, even though the files and icons seem to have gone, when i power up the phone i get a msg that palringo.exe cannot be found. and it sl-o-o-o-ows the startup. is that just because of a registry key? could you please guide me on the best way to fix? thanks!
