Something annoying. - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Okay guys I just got the HTC Touch Pro today from 3 and this will be my first ever Win mobile so I am all kinds of lost and confused.
In the sms inbox how do i change it so it doesn't display what I replied to them. I hate reading a new sms in my inbox and it looks like a bloody msn convo. I just want to see their messages not what I sent. I already have the'save sent items' thing switched off but why is it still displaying my sent messages in the sms inbox this essentially kills the whole purpose of it?
Thank you for your time.

Bump. Any help? I hate this message threading thing, we can't they just make the inbox like a normal phone. I don't want to read what I wrote or let my friends go through my private convos when they get their hands on it.

Sorry but I can't get that program to work. Something about .net framework or something I am not good with this thing .

without reading into it too much, it sounds like you need to update .NET on the computer you are installing from. Alternatively you can try this, taken from the tweaks thread:
Disable SMS Conversation in WM 6.X
In Registry Editor: Create a folder named "OEM" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Se ttin gs"
In the new "OEM" folder, make a new DWORD key called "SMSInboxThreadingDisabled" and give it a value of "1"
OEM folder already exists, and adding the key to this folder works a treat, although any messages already in the system are lost. Back them up using something like PIM backup first.

youll need to install PHM registery editor to your phone first. Though, you may run into the same .NET situation...I couldnt say for sure. If thats the case, just update .NET on your computer...a quick Google serach for ".NET framework 3.5" should get you to the appropriate page on M$'s site.

NET Framework 3.5
http://www.4shared.com/file/70602905/58d46ffa/NETCFv35wmarmv4i.html
Install on device.

mavs_man, the reason people are being blumt with their responses is probably due to their annoyance with the way you have named the thread. WTF is "something annoying"!!!
Please learn to use forums correctly, not just the benefit of this forum but for all forums and the internet in general.
Something more along the lines of "Don't wish to use threaded messaging view" or "MSN like sms conversations"

[FINALLY SOLVED!] Very annoying SMS bug in many different 6.1 ROMs

*There have been reports that this does not work on 6.5 roms. Please use at your own risk.*
Cab below!
It's discussed in this thread: HERE
Turns out its an issue with the htmlnote.dll file.
Thanks to all the help from everybody!
Cab replaces htmlnote.dll in the Windows directory with a friendlier one.
Both SMS and email work!
This has been a recent problem that's come up in many different threads but I still have yet to find a solution.
When selecting a message from the message tab in M2D the message is highlighted and you have to manually tap on the text box to start typing.
It's much easier to select the message and just start typing right away.
Is there a fix for this yet that I just can't find?

I've been looking as well, and I haven't come across anything.
Why you open this thread addition?
I've seen it within many different ROM's threads with no final answer or fix. I thought I'd try to collect it into one place since I know there are many different people with the same situation.
I have this bug to all of my roms and if you have this bug also if take from same contact more than 1 sms and you go to read it become "read it" only the final sms and the other 2 or 3 or more new sms from this contact stay "unread it" you must tap on sms to become "read it"
i searching for this bug if found something i will post it here..
also i have problem with power button issue
also perlyp have this 2 issue and chef of PDACorner..
I have the same problem. Also if I have an SMS thread open while receiving messages to the conversation. It does not mark them as "read" I have to open the conversation for each message received. If I have 4 SMS messages from the same number I should be able to open it once and have all messages marked as read in that conversation.
theres a temp fix for the unread sms issue. if u search for unread sms fix (i think thats what its called) ull find an exe that will fix that issue. u have to run it every time it happens but like i said its a temp fix. Ill post a link or the file when i get home.

thanks i found it. this site is great, filled with all kinds of info but sometimes it is hard to find.
**a side note the fix you suggested also fixed the original issue in this post.
why you so lazy
I think its just the problem with cooking process (you know blending sys and oem packages and stuff like that!). Some of the ROM's here do have that problem. Usually G's tend not to, but it all depends on the flavor of the day!

Loserskater, what app are you using for sms that this apply's to?
TW,
That fixed the SMS issue for me, however it seems to have broken e-mail. The read/unread icon doesn't display, and I can't open any e-mail or start a new message. Any ideas?

Funny you said that as i just checked and same here?
Please other peeps check your email amd see if it's broke, seems like even renaming htmlnote.dll to htmlnote.dllold so as the ROM recreates the file does not seem to fix it......
That's a shame, it got the SMS to work perfectly. Though I suppose that an annoyance with the SMS is better than completely broken e-mail. Seems like there must be a way to have both though.

I can't believe no one has answered this yet. You will need to install .net 3.5 framework and Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3. That will allow you to do that and more.
Here is a link to his website which also has the .net framework link.
Hope this helps.

Sorry about the delay in response. I am posting here to help any others who might need it. I was wrong and thinking you needed something else so here is the correct way to do it. Although Advanced Config is a great program still.
Start menu / Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications Tab at bottom / Click on event and scroll to Messaging: New text message / Uncheck Display message on screen.
Soft reset just in case and you are good to go.

Does Mango fix the basics ??

Will Mango fix the basic functions that were missing when released?
None of the recent reviews seem to address this..
1. Can you listen to movie audio via bluetooth headset ?
2. Can you prevent sms notifications appearing - especially on the lock screen ?
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?
4. Can you delete history of recent people, photos, music etc ?
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?
6. Any sign of SMART Dialing ?
7. Can you SMS to a contacts 2nd mobile number ?
I am sure there are other small things I cant think of...
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?

Call history has been beefed up quite a bit. Not sure exactly what you are looking for though.
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?
Click to expand...

You have already been able to do this with emails & text messages/mms.
Not sure on the rest, I haven't been specifically looking for those though with the exception of smart dialing, which I do not think is in Mango.

4) -
5) since lauch

7) Yes and this is already possible. Just create a second contact and link them together. Kind of hacky true, but it works.

@colossus_r what is your POINT !!!!!!!!!!
I`ve had a Samsung Omnia since October and carry it everyday along with my Blackberry for work.... but I dont have time to f%%k about trying to work out things that are not obvious!!! My phone is pre-nodo btw if that makes a difference..
About Question 5
Now I am looking at a text message on the phone I press the three dots (...) and the options are send (which just does a reply) and attach. Exactly how do I forward to a different person as it does not seem clear...
About Question 7
Also how would I know that to sms to a 2nd number in contacts I would have to create a 2nd contact for the same person and then link them!!!
Questions were aimed at people who have used the Early Mango Build
Thanks to those who have answered so far

If you youtube the windows phone mago review you will see some of the features in action which could help some of the questions you havent asked.
Press and hold on a msg, you will see the option for forward. Its pretty easy to find out. That's why the other guy was questioning if you have used a wp7 phone on a daily base. Yeah, you do need to calm down a bit. If those features were important to you, a quick search would have solved your problem.

In my opinion, NoDo fixed the basics. WP7 was horrid before NoDo. Mango is supposed to go beyond the basics with added features bringing WP7 up to the level of other smartphones.
what about contact search in mango? anybody has info on whether we can search by company or still by name only?
Not sure, but there are groups anyway, so you could set up business groups.
To the original poster...
1. Dont know, hope so.
2. Dont know again, doesnt really bother me, though, just swipe to the right and it disapears.
3. Yes
4. Dont know, wouldnt use it, so havent looked.
5. Both availble since launch, just hold on the text and click foward (three dots wont work, because how the hell is the phone supposed to know which text you want to foward.) Email just press the lower left icon and it says Reply or Forward, choose forward... Incredibly simple.
6. Dont know, hope so.
7. If there is a second number in your contact you can just do it from the people hub anyway.
Company search for Exchange 2007/2010 always worked always worked I think ...but Exchange 2003 company search (GAL) was enabled in NODO
Thanks to all for answers and appologies if I have offended anyone I am a bit peeved with Microsoft, Orange and Samsung and this non update on my Omnia 7 issue......
Anyway
Email - I just realised that I actually did know previously that you could forward email but forgot as I have been mainly using Company Blackberry for email for a few months now...
SMS - I agree I didnt think it through properly and didnt think about the conversation mode would mean requiring a long press... looked a few times and tried short presses but just assumed it was a missing feature.
Thanks again feeling a bit think now
There is no smart dialing in the beta I'm using

When I start typing something in the "People" application, it finds it whether it's in the name, company or notes field of my address book. Google apps synced account, if that's of any interest, but I see no reason it wouldn't be global.

[Q] Custom alert tones on Mango?

I know you can change ringtones in Mango, but I'm confused if there is a way to create custom alerts as well.
Is this a feature that just isn't implemented yet?
Thanks!

Wish people would give the links out and not say "search for it, its out there". I searched google and asked twice on the forum, nothing. If it can't be done fine, but if it can people need to show others.
Also still wondering if this is possible..
Use any music editing software(audacity etc) or Myxer.com and create an .mp3(I think .wav too, I'm not sure) file of the part of the song that u want as a ringtone. It has to be less than 39secs and less than 1MB. Then save the file anywhere on your computer(I save mine where I have my other music). Go to Zune software and locate the file that you made, right click it and change the genre to Ringtone(I had to type mine out) then then sync it to your device and you should be able to set it as a ringtone.

I can tell you what I did. I followed the instructions in the Mango Tips & Tricks thread. First you need to make sure your intended is less than 40 seconds long & less than 1 MB in size. Also, make sure it's a MP3 or WMA. To do this, used a audio editing software. I used AVS Audio Converter6 (Paid for app). Than load it into Zune by putting it in a folder being monitored by Zune for music. You can check in Zune settings which folders are watched & add or remove folders as needed. Now in the Zune software, find the file & right click on it. Click on Edit, than click the Genre field & type in Ringtone. Than just drag it to the WP7 icon at the buttom of Zune. On your WP7 device, go to the ringtones settings & it'll show up at the top of the list under "Custom". It'll be named by filename btw.

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

I can see and empathise with TooSlo's frustration here - he's asking if its possible to create alert tones and folks are beating him up for it and sending him info on how to create ring tones. Unfortunately, you can't use ringtones for the various alert tones.
I suppose a hack is possible. It may be as easy as finding the appropriate category and editing the metadata (like you do with Ringtones).
same problem ive had searching for custom alerts.. nobody understands the question.
is there any way to make the question clearer for people to understand what were after? i say that in a non-sarcastic manner truly

I can't find any information that allows for custom alerts. I've been looking for this as well.
Not tried in latest Mango but I did in 7712
Sideload Touch Explorer and send yourself the tone you want but rename as ALERT 10 etc (we have to overwrite one of the built in ones)
Open the email and download the attachment then using Touch Ecplorer look in the volatile folders and you will see your file then copy and paste to the windows folder.
You may have to open the email and open attachment a few times before it shows in volatile but you will find it eventually
Hope this helps
That's more or less the same thing you have to do in Mango, but with provxmls. Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
You can try this: Advanced Configuration Tool 1.3.0.0 beta available - for Mango only
That app have this option.
Just to let everyone know I have just reflashed my HD2 to Mango 7720, and used the email, copy and paste to windows folder and it still works
To be more precise email yourself a wma file and call it something like Alert-10.wma the open your email and download then play the attachment.
Then press home key and open touch explorer and navigate to APPLICATION DATA then VOLATILE and then EMAILATTACHMENTS and look in any folders you find here then using touch explorer copy and paste the file to the WINDOWS folder and overwrite.
Then set alert 10 as your chosen tone (or whatever number you used) and hey presto
looks like us without htc have to find an alternative to modify the filesystem? it seems touch explorer only works on htc devices for the time being. I did test out the advanced config tool, but it doesnt seem to have privs to modify much of anything yet
anyone else have luck on LG?

The problem here is that you and many others who have posted how to make ringtones haven't bothered to understand what the original post was asking. This is what is wrong with forums these days. You do a google search and you get a question asked in a forum and instead of any good info, you get a senior member "beating up" some guy for arriving at their site. If you do not want to answer questions then don't post. These types of forums are meant to be a help, so be HELPFUL. At least post a link that answers the question, not a google search that will bring them right back to their question.
The original post WAS NOT asking how to make ringtones; we all knew how to do that before Mango was released. The question was the ALERTS that WP7 uses for SMS, MMS, email and alarms. I too was doing my own footwork when I came upon this question. And of course like many other responses to my google search, they all talk about RINGTONES. I did however find on this forum a post that might answer this one's question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368361
The answerer mentions using something called touchxperience/touchxplorer, but does not go into any detail as to how he was able to accomplish this.
I can imagine I'll go to that post and reply as to how he did it and some senior member will beat me up and say something about how I should do my own research.

i had used heathcliff's file deployer and deployed to /my documents/my ringtones (i think it was a .wma)
then changed the registry path for sms ringtones to point to the file. i think i used wp root tools to change the registry entry since it was easier than finding it in the registry.
that should work for LG phones also

I tried it last month and all of the filesystem tools I had attempted were unable to make modifications. I tried Advanced explorer, diagprovxml(I think this was for maybe getting the wifi tether working..), and another one that I cannot recall at the moment. None of these were able to successfully modify the files properly.
LG still no go for me, unless someone else has gotten it to work since I last tried?

That is out dated information neither Touch experince nor Touch explorer are currently working on Mango. Supposedly there is a beta version that works on Mango but you have to donate and ask the dev to be a beta tester and wait and see if he actually responds. Well I'm waiting of a straight forward way.

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.
thanks i was able to edit and delete the htc linkify file using the app u sugested... but im still not able to get the PHONE NUMBER ACTION screen when i click a number in a app... this is very frustrating and i dont understand y only nexus one is able to popup that screen...

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.
