Hi there.
I have some questions, and perhaps a request regarding threaded SMSs on WinMo 6.1 (also known as 'conversations'):
I generally like this, except the fact that I don't see the Time Received & Time Sent. I just see the dates.
1) Is it possible to also display the time (next to date)? If not possible by default, is there some reg setting or perhaps program to do this?
2) Is it possible to open the individual messages from the Threaded view? I can't seem to open them.
Thnx

The time is only displayed on a text received on that day, otherwise its just the date (by default) If there is a reg tweak, i will have to look into that

You cant open a single text when the thread is open. Some people like the threaded option, some dont, if its not for you turn off the option
Of course there are apps out there like icontact (i think) that also displays texts in threaded way but more freindly and i think it gives the time too.

hey not sure if you've guys have seen what apple have done with their iphone SMS, but i'm in love with that. does anyone know if theres an app that does something similar? i mean right now all my SMS's are just randomly organized by date, would love something where your given a 'instant messenger' kind of approach.
You're a senior member, you should know to search. There is a threaded sms cab here that works - I prefer to use the native Inbox application and will wait until 6.1 cooked which has threaded capabilities.
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=139379 has picture, step-by-step guide on how to get it working, I would recommend MOVING poutlook instead of deleting it.
is windows 6.1 release date still in april? was hoping they'd release something soon.

Does this work with the Vox (since it is for PPC)? Did anyone try it?

i tried it, didnt' work for me....
when i started this thread i was hoping to find something that will organise the SMS in this fashion:
http://www.iphon.fr/public/periode2/iphone-sms.jpg
does anyone actually know if there is an app out there that does this?
I have used it with the Vox, it's not very stable and key presses do not match up properly, thus I don't use it.
There is no application that will do what you have posted in your screen shot. Wait until 6.1 is released out and perhaps it can be pulled out of the ROM and retro fitted.
ya thats what i'm hoping for. is the release date for 6.1 still april? or have they announced an earlier date?
There is an application and is called Extreme Text here is the link
"Extreme Text is the premier Threaded SMS Texting application. It allows you to view all of your Texts as separate conversations for each contact you SMS, much like an Instant Message Conversation. It also adds great features including emoticons, following links in the text, User Defined Text Support, Photo Contact Support, and more..."

ya thats what i'm looking for, but 15 bucks is a hefty price for a small app like that. I just read that WM6.1 will incoporate the iphone sms bubble 'chat' layout,just wondering when the release date for an official release is expected
The PPC guys have already began cooking 6.1 rom from a leaked Kaiser upgrade. We just have to wait for a smartphone upgrade and then we should be able to adapt it to the Vox
Hi there - is it possible to implement a WM 6.1 version over an existing ROM version ?
or in other words - I`m using Quentin`s qmobile 1.2 but wanna have the wm 6.1 on the kaiser ...
Thanks
Myrin
This has been asked before. It's a definite no. Features, only thing different is sms threading, which you can add palm threaded sms to your rom. Some other minor options, but nothing too big.
The SMS from 6.1 is by far much better than Palm Threaded SMS
Thomassster I `m not quite shure if understand what you are saying - Do I have to wait for Quentins version of WM 6.1 ?
Ignore the first response - I guess he didnt understand the question.
If you have hardspl'd your device, then you can flash any rom you like.
But if going to a 6.1 rom, you will need to also flash a 6.1 compatible radio rom as well.

MS Threaded SMS:
-You can't see the time of messages older then 1 day anymore.
-You can't see which delivery report is for which message (if you send 3 messages to 1 number and the second wouldn't be delivered, you couldn't check that.)
-You can't disable the threaded sms function.
Palm Threaded SMS:
-If you want to see older messages in a thread, the app opens the whole conversation and with a several thousends of messages it kind of gets stuck.
-The sms file which contains the messages gets HUGE. With 5000msg the file is 20MB. (the main reasion I wan't to dump this app)
The MS app is more stable and faster, but it just isn't finished yet. You can't call it much better then the Palm threaded sms, cause it misses core functions.

MS threaded:
-Slower then Palm dunno why you think MS is faster
-Ugly font.. cant resize unless you have email configured
+pictures are full screen
+audio only clips (voicemails)
-log style
+today plugin works pretty well
-no pictures of contacts for new txt
Palm threaded:
+Faster then MS by far.
-MMS wont work on newer htc devices.. basically anything after the tytn-orginal(att 8525)
+better face icons
+better logging
+picture of contact when getting new txt
-log size
-today plugin sometimes funky
-------
bottom like palm has better features but until someone can make threaded sms+mms work in it ill have to stick to the MS threaded
unwired4 - so I can`t just hardspld, flash a new radio rom and then take Quentins Rom ???
Is that possible ?
Or must the ROM be a "WM 6.1 ROM" ?
Thanks

I would use Palm's but I just can't stand not having MMS not working. A couple of weeks ago I was able to get the MMS fixed but it only works with the older ArcSoft MMS. I can give you steps and the package that you need to get it work. If I can find it again.

NO! You can not flash 2 roms... Your rom holds 1 rom
Wait for Quentins WM6.1 rom or flash someone elses WM6.1 rom.

When your log file is small, Palm is faster yes. But if you have a huge logfile with thousends of messages, MS is way faster for sure, it just doesn't get slower, while Palm's app is getting slower with each byte.
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,
How i delete the recent sms recipients list or each one severally on Windows Mobile?
Thank you
where do you have a recent sms recipients list?
When i create a text message and click on menu->send to, shows me also a menu that says recent sms recipients. But i want to erase that list or each name separately. Windows mobile have sms recent recipients list.
i have never seen that... i check both my wm6 &6.1 ppc and i dont have that.. what device and rom are u using?
I have Omnia 16GB, i900BDHJ3 original rom and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
I choose messages->menu->create->new message->menu->add recipient-> recent recipients list (or something like that cause it is in my language and not English)

Nikos, that isnt a recent recipients list, that is your contacts list (or it is on my device if i do that above). Im not familiar with the Omnia so i dont know if this is something device specific... could you post a couple of screen shots? (if you dont have my mobiler, get it from below and use that to do the screen shots) get it from here : http://www.mtux.com/
the sms recipient list does not add on automatically unless there's a weird bug in your rom.. it's supposed to be the other way around. you choose contacts from your list of contacts and they are added to the sms recipient list.
If you're looking to send group sms i suggest you use GroupSMS 1.4.3

Thank you for that great link! Didn't know that app. until now, will be one of my favored ones! Cheers!
Yeah, you are correct. The recent recipient list is a feature that only Omnia has. When i will find time i will post the screenshots. Thank you very much for your interesting.
I've tried searching but I can't find an answer to this for the HD2.
Is there a way of limiting the number of messages displayed in an SMS conversation's history? I'm having to wait a good 10 seconds for all the past texts of some contacts to load before I can start to type, which is obviously extremely annoying. Limiting the amount it displays to 20 or so would be absolutely fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
This is a good idea, at the moment I am trying to keep on top of my messages by deleting older ones. I find it very strange that there is such a huge delay when there are loads of messages in a conversation. Whats the 1ghz processor doing? Having a tea break?
Oh ? I thought I was the only one who suffured of the loading speed in the SMS history.
On my last and beloved Cruise, the history was splitting in a few pages.
Someone know how to make it the same way ?
A solution for this would be nice!
Yes ! Perhaps we should try to post it in general XDA forum ?
Would like this also, now I'm using the old message view again (not threaded) because the other one is way to slow
I need this too...
Please, find a way to split threaded sms like in old TF3D!!!!
I hope HTC knows about this problem and will release a fix! Just write HTC about it...the more the merrier!
correct! Please report it to HTC so that they will fix this.
For the moment you can use this "workaround":
Open the inbox for this contact and try immadiately to hit the "send" button and answer the question "...really want to send an empty message.." witn "no"....that's it.
the keyboard is directly available and you can answer
i wonder if its possibly something to do with the small thumbnail images on every message thats slowing it down????? maybe removing these may make a difference, anybody know how to do that though?? lol
I've tried it and that has no effect on the speed

booo! lol i`v reduced the text size to smallest and that seems to have helped a bit, i havent got many messages right now i`l know soon if it really makes an impact when i dont delete my messages.
forget that comment above dont think it makes a blind bit of difference lol

Just click
All Messages > Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode
The traditional mode separate the sent messages and the received messages.
But if one has lot of messages from the same contact, this will still be slow.
Solution
My solution for this problem is that once a day a sync with windows my phone and archive the old messages there or save old messages with jeyo mobile companion, thus leaving in the phone a minimum amount of messages. until HTC solves the problem this works for me
I'm archiving old messages on MS MyPhone too for the time being. An acceptable workaround for me for the time being.
