Box pops up when new Text Message is received? Why!?

Recently after doing a hard reset i keep getting this box that pops up when i get a new text message. this never happened before, it started after i did the hard reset. it looks like something from another app, i have attached a pic; see the box that has the 'Reply Call Delete' options and the arrows(that takes up more than 1/2 my screen). my problem is that this interfere's with M2D's SMS page and i want to get rid of it, but there is no other program that is installed that would cause something like this to happen.
ETEN M600 w/ Kozhura's custom WM6.1 ROM
M2D Update 14
NO other contact management/SMS programs installed.

Have you checked your notification options screen to ensure that the option for it to display a notification message is unchecked?
Also, from the skinning of that, if the above doesn't work, is this a new ROM flash? perhaps it's an application included in the ROM.
Have you installed ANY other interface, whether SMS specific or not, that might have that screen there as a "feature" of sorts?

Yeah, i've already checked the notification message and unchecked it
Nope, same ROM
The only other interface I've installed is Manila2D, even when I used M2D before nothing of this sort happened
I appreciate you trying to help me out though, Thanks.

Your screenshot looks like Zoom SMS.

Thanks Tomdoodly, I guess I should of just searched more, thanks for your help though.
EDIT: I feel retarded now, its so simple, i dont know how i missed it. All I had to do was go into Phone/Settings/Apprciation Software/ and disable everything!!

Automated text-back to calls??

This isn't really Raphael specific but I was in a meeting today and got a call and wondered if there was any kind of program to auto-reply a caller with a text saying something like "Meeting" or whatever.
Its halfway there with the send text option on the incoming call screen and would resemble away messages on an instant messenger. If its out there has anyone heard of it? Possible for someone to tackle it and try to develop something? Might be neat

I thought that was already in the dialer? I remember seeing an option in my Fuze (before ROM Flash) about sending a text back to people who called stating you are busy orsomething. I think it was editable so you can have it say what you want.
There are some apps out there though that do just that.

This one is from 2005 but there were some new ones recently. Just can't remember their names.

theres definitely something buried in the settings for this.
i believe i was changing ring tones and noticed it...
it's for when you reject a call it will send a text which you can edit

perhaps:
start > settings > phone > advanced
is what your looking for?
never tried it to see if it actually works tho.

MagiCall from Mobiion does just that.

yep right there theres an option to enable the reply text

But when you press "reply with SMS", it takes you to SMS edit, wher eyou have to press send again. IT's really slow when some's ringing. I would prefer it sent the predefined text directly.

Blinking codes decoded?

My FUZE, running stock ATT rom with advanced config using the suggested settings for advanced config, other than that, all stock.
My send/dial/answer and enter (center circle) lights are flashing about 5-6 times a second then pausing for 10 seconds or so.
I've checked my email, I don't have any SMS, nobody uses MMS that I know, it just keeps on keeping on.
WHat really obvious thing am I missing?
I suppose in the scheme of things, it doesn't really matter, I think I'm going to install NATF's rom here pretty quick, but I want to get a full week under my belt before I thrash it.

Idk either man. This happened a lot for me too on the stock rom. IT seems to happen when someone calls you, but hangs up before it rings, thus ur phone gets the signal of the call, and thinks you have a missed call, but you really don't. So a soft-reset should fix that. Or flash a better radio.

Go into your email inbox then swipe sideways to reveal the Outook email and just check that it doesn't have the tips and tricks email sitting there. If you arent actually using the Outlook account it doesnt display in touch flo but its still there with its welcome email if you configure activesync. Good luck. Cheers.

It also flashes when receiving new articles from RSS feeds...

Navigation light indicator

Folks, forgive me if this subject has already been addressed. I did run a search and found nothing relevant using "navigation" as my search criteria so here goes...
I used to own a t mobile mda compact and as I recall the nav button (circle) used to flash on a circular motion to give an indication of some sort of alert be it a missed call or a text message for example. Has this feature been overlooked on the Vario IV, touchpro or is there something I need to do in order to enable this useful feature?
If I am honest my patience is beginning to wear thin with this device and its growing list of flaws/missing features which have been left to talented guys on these forums to sort out. Surely T mobile has had plenty enough time iron out these things before this phones release.. (we waited long enough for the thing after all)

My TP does this with the stock rom, no tweak or setting were needed.

Same here.

Apparently you can turn the LED on or off doe missed calls and messages and things like that according to the posts below mine.
There is no way to turn the feature when charging. So if your navigation light does not work when the phone is charging. Then i would say try a hard reset (make sure you backup) and if that does not work then you might have to send your device for warranty or exchange it whatever your options are.

On my Vario IV the settings for flashing the light (around the touch circle thingummy - I really need to read up on what it's called) were disabled by default.
So, under settings/personal/sounds & notifications, check that in the notifications tab that "flash light" is checked for e-mail, text, whatever. Actually, just checked mine after a hard reset and had to re-enable

Actually there is a way to turn on/off the feature for different events (except charging).
Try Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications
When you choose something like New Text Message, you see an option to "Flash light". Check the box and choose how long you want the nav light to flash.
EDIT: Never mind...forgot to post it and it's a little late.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.. I'll try some of this stuff out and get back to you as to whether any of it worked for me.

Disabled Option
I saw this thread and thought that I'd like this too. I have a stock Sprint TP Rom. I checked out my notification settings and the Flash Light option is there for everything but Incoming Call. However, it's greyed out and won't let me check it. Is there a reason this would be disabled?

It probably becouse on incoming call the whole divice is waked up and the send key is blinking.
There is also settings>sounds and notifications>notifications "phone:missed calls". There you can set an action: popup, blinking and vibration.
hope this helps (names of the options translated from polish TP stock ROM so mey not be acurate )

Thanks folks..!!
Seems like I totally missed those options for the flashlight alerts. They all work for me now. I have combined them with various ringtones to differentiate the alerts i'm getting. It appears the flashlight indicates alerts even when the device is being charged. Thanks again guys, at least "SOMETHING" now works as expected.

Threaded SMS broken, need fix!

Hi, everyone,
I recently flashed a custom ROM that I really, really like, stable and fast (HelteROM). But there's a HUGE glaring issue that's wrong with it, and that's threaded SMS.
For some reason, I can't respond to texts at all while threaded SMS is enabled. Opening the SMS from the TouchFLO 3D tab, opening them from the inbox, it's all the same: the words SMS/MMS show up on the taskbar, but otherwise the screen doesn't change. The SMS doesn't load for me to reply to it.
Tapping the X does nothing to remove the SMS/MMS text from the taskbar, either. I have to press the Home key to be kicked back to the Home screen, and I STILL haven't been able to open the SMS to reply to it. ;_;
Turning off threaded SMS from Advanced Config lets me respond to the texts just fine, so I know it's a threaded SMS issue. Is there some sort of cab that I can install to fix this issue? I've run into the same problem numerous times from different custom ROMS, but I've dealt with those by flashing different ROMs instead. I wanna stick with this ROM, though, so I could REALLY use the help!

Same problem
I have the same problem that you describe on my stock Sprint Touch Pro. I cannot open or reply to SMS messages when threaded SMS is enabled, but I can see them in classic view.
This happened pretty recently, and I think it was because an e-mail that it for some reason didn't like was forwarded to my phone as a text message.
I've tried deleting the cemail.vol file and that didn't fix it. If you figure this out, I'd love to hear the solution.
