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!

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.

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.
Nigel
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!

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.
Hi all,
since few days I've a strange behavior from pocket outlook when reading messages.
When I access any message, it gets displayed from the second page like if having pressed down on the scrollweel. To properly see first part of the message, I've to press "up" (or scroll up).
The same when accessing SMS messages...
To be noted that if displaying a message having scrolled it to the top, changing screen orientation (portrait/landscape) I get the message automatically scrolled down like if having pressed once the down button...
Before, display was correct getting message displayed from the beginning (with the sender + subject).
I tried to recall what I may have installed corrupting something (in the registry?), but I do not find anything that could have caused this behavior.
Any help?
Thanks.
Found, it is a tweak on KaiserTweak
The post with the solution...
When using PocketIE/D-Pad Scroll Navigation email could start half way the email.
Please see below (from Dutty's ROM thread) : maybe is is wise to disable the tweak or remove the Adviced notification

I finally figured out the fix:
Load up KaiserTweak and Disable PocketIE/D-Pad Scroll Navigation.
I had enabled this earlier because it sounded cool, but apparently Outlook has issues with it.

I agree it should be removed from KaiserTweak, or at least not marked as suggested
I just got an HTC Fuze yesterday with AT&T and I haven't flashed it yet but I was wondering if this was a 'problem' with this Raphael phone in general.
The problem I am having is that when in TF3D and I scroll to text messages, I see 6/6 for text messages that I have received. However, when I click on the "All Messages" tab on the bottom left, it brings me to Inbox where I only see 1 Conversation with just one recipient (the one I have replied to). The other 5 messages are nowhere to be found in there unless i get back out to the TF3D main message.
It is even worse when I slide out the keyboard to enter the other mode. I can't see any of the 6 messages in my Inbox. Is this a bug or something wrong with my settings? Are the rest of you guys able to see ALL of your text messages when you guys are in your Inbox?
Can you please let me know if this is working as intended? Or if I have a faulty phone?
Surely someone can just state whether or not they can see all their text messages when they click on "All Messages" on the Messages tab on their phone....
please? =P
It should be thatyou see every single message (sent and recieved) in your all messages view. Your situation is strange, unfortunately I can't tell you what to do. You might wanna try a hard reset, but beaware that it will erase all your data.
Hard reset fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!
I had the same exact issue when my friend told me to install this Diamond Tweak program. It has a lot of tweaks in it that I want but it has screwed up my texting so I can't afford that. A fix for this would be awesome if someone knows what's going on.
I have an annoying bug with the gmail apk.
When I hit the "sync" button to look for new emails (I have autosync turned off) and I have a new mail, the app would show me "Inbox (1)" in the upper left corner, meaning there should be one new email. However, sometimes/often that one new email just won't appear in the emails list. I can see my old mails but the new one just isn't there, altough the (1) is displayed. When I go to my the "All mails" Category instead of the "inbox", I can see it, also when I look it up on the PC.
This happens sometimes more, sometimes less often (last time yesterday), and I have no Idea why so. Sometimes I would get for example 3 new mails, but only 2 are displayed
Anyone else with that problem?
me too facing this
You don't have to "sync" gmail as it uses push. So just check the "sync" option and emails should get pushed to your phone when they are received. Why did you turn that option off?
Sent from my brain
Do you refer to the "Auto-Sync" option under Accounts & sync? Because I cannot find a "Push" option anywhere...
If you mean that, I deactivated it because it sucks alot of energy as it refreshes all the time in order to fetch your mails. I'd rather just go into the app and check for new mails myself.
And the fact that sometimes I see the mails in my inbox and sometimes I don't (only the number in brackets appears in the upper left corner but no mail) tells me that this is indeed a bug.
How come only 2 people are having this?
That's not how PUSH works

That's not how PUSH works. Resources are NOT used, or used so little to be insignificant when you have GMail set up to Sync. Basically, as long as there are no messages, you will never get a notification, and your phone will not check mail. When a message is sent to you, ONLY THEN will your phone "do something" by displaying the fact that you have a message.
However, if you use HTC's mail function, that's another story. There you have to actually decide how often you want the app to check mail, or do it manually, as you are doing now. So, even if you get no mail, it will still check as often as you have it set up to do so. This uses far more resources.
Again, if you have GMail set up properly, just leave it alone. It will only "do something" when there is mail. Otherwise, nothing.

Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Guess I had the wrong Idea of how Push works. I know people kept saying that it eats battery life like crazy on the iphone back then.
So, is "Auto-Sync on" (Accounts & sync menu) = Push on?
Because I still can't find an entry that says push.
Finally, I still have that bug in gmail....
