Today screen question from newbie - General Questions and Answers

Hello, new here. Hope I don't sound too foolish.
Is there some way to simply add an icon to my today screen that will indicate a message (or email) has arrived? Perhaps a button that will be "lit up" when sms or email is waiting? Could it indicate the number of messages unread?
I know there are various add ons, interfaces, that have this feature, but they usually don't work well on my Imate 9502.
Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.
Nice forum

you can add messaging/email to your today screen which would show how many unread but it won't lite up..... this should be set to be there by default though

Block incoming calls

Hi, I don't know if a post has been put up, but I don’t know what to search for. I was wondering if any knew of any software on windows mobile 5 which will enable me to block specific incoming calls from my phonebook or calls as private or unknown numbers and sms/text messages.
Need something like this badly

This may be what you are after
I use Inesoft Address Book and it offers the functionality you require, except for text messages. The large contact photos and other enhancements are also very good.
THANKS mosgeo
Many Thanks mosgeo for you promt reply. Am downloading the cab version from the site. is this a full version?
Yes, completely non-crippled for 14 days. The bit you are looking for is the 'Incoming calls' menu item on the Today tray (bottom right, silhouette icon).
Incidentally, I found the Today ABC plugin took up too much room (and possibly slowed things down, not sure) and removed it via the options.

i am in a simular situation however is it possible to rather than block text messages from a particular contact i would rather not be notified, i.e. Dave sends me a text message and it notifies me as normal however if psyco girl sends me a message it wont flash up on my screen for all to see......

Two SMS Questions, tried searching

Sup guys
Second day with the new touch pro, lovin it. Theres a few things that are bugging me, though. When I send a text, it places a copy in my Inbox like: Me: Message
It clutters up my inbox a ton, but is it necessary for threaded messaging to work?
Also, if I go to hit the compose button on TF3D, and rotate the screen before the actual text box comes up (5 seconds later) then the ****ty 8 button landscape view will come up and screw up my message. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks guys
Joe
Just wanna know if everyone deals with this.

Text messaging issues after a rom upgrade.

I searched all through the new tael rom thread and was unable to find a solution to my problem.
I love the look of sense 2.5 but I am having two issues with text messaging.
One, If I am on the text messaging tab and create a new message It doesn't auto fill the recipient name and doesn't seem to grab any info from my contact list. If I select add receipient it takes me to a blank search people field with none of my contacts listed. The only way I can send a text message is to go phone>contacts>send msg or reply to one that is sent to me.
Two, when I am in landscape mode trying to reply to an sms the send button is off the screen. This I can live with as I know not everything has been ported over the VGA but the first complaint is really an issue.
Thanks in advance.

1. Texting is weird and a pain. This is due to the new, stupid, built in htc messaging app Jataayu made for HTC. Unfortunately it's a necessary evil with Manila 2.5. Either use the 'disable' cab found in this thread to disable it and use the built in WinMo pocket outlook to SMS (ink in post #1) or use Pyrorob's Contact Picker and Shared Resource CABs.

Remove WM6 sms delivery receipt taskbar icon ?

Hi !
I hope i'm posting in the right section - please move if necessary.
Whenever i get a sms delivery receipt, it comes in the form of a sms which is fine. The thing is that on top of that, on the taskbar there appears this little white envelope which also tells me about having a receipt in the mailbox.
Now i was convinced that when i remove the receipt from my inbox, the tasbar will be updated and the icon will disappear.
But it does not.
Searching around i found a few topics with different receipt related problem and two programs were often mentioned - "smsdrfix" which is quite nice but doesn't do anything with my problem, and "sms report eraser" which i was hoping would do the trick but it doesn't.
As this is a very noticeable problem i guess that it was discussed before a lot so pardon me if i overlooked a tread.
Thanks in advance.

Google Voice Unread Count Widget

Hi all,
Its out!
Search for "google voice unread count" or "feokala" in the market.
Email the dev's if you see anything we can make better!
I just installed and then uninstalled this app. It is a step in the right direction however I have two problems with it personally. One, I do not like the way the number of unread messages appears below the icon rather than on the upper right like every other icon notification. I am a very A-Type person so that kills me, not to mention that it doesn't say "Voice" under the icon. The second thing that is a deal breaker for me is that it isn't a live notification widget. Meaning that it checks in intervals of at the very least 15 minutes of there being an unread message. This is not mentioned in the description of the application and I think it should be.
Hopefully this small bit of constructive criticism well help the overall development of this widget. I'd gladly pay the price asked if these two things were addressed.
Thank you.
