I am having trouble with SMS. When i go to NEW SMS, i usually just entered the first letter of my contact who i want to send a message to, and then a pop up window would appear showing all the contacts i have beginning with that letter. It's almost like a pre-selecting filter within SMS.
Since i changed my keyboard, this facility has disappered! Now i have to type in the full name and then go to CHECK NAMES and then select from there. It is a slow process as i have hundreds of contacts on my phone.
It was so much easier when the pop up window was shown. How do i get it back without deleting the finger friendly keyboard?
I solved this issue. Takes 10 seconds to do:
instructions... browse registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll
soft reset device.
in the future, please don't double post questions.
thank you

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.

Hi
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.

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!

So I was able to update my rom to the new 5.11.502.2 rom for the HTC Fuze on At&t. I have been enjoying the update, and it seems like the reception is improved.
But I did run into a problem....iono if someone could verify if this is correct or not. So when ever i send a mass text, i would only get one thread for the message and not for each other person i sent the mass text to. With the original stock rom, whenever you send a mass text, a thread conversation starts for each person you sent the mass text to.
i think everything about the text messages in the update is buggy. when i get a text and then reply but still stay inside the thread, my text message icon in the status bar stays there and then when i get more than one text from the same person and then go back to the message list it says there there is still unread messages even though i already replied to them.
That's been an issue for forever.
Nah, this is different. In the stock ROM, it used to automatically show the message was read, just by opening it. Now I have to scroll up to the message to show I've read it.
Sure, it's not that much of a hassle by itself, but when you text as much as I do, pressing the up botton a few times and then bringing it back down, just so the notifications go away, becomes a daunting task.
It's almost depressing.
Not in this way though... it used to be that I could just open the message, and it would register that it was read. Now, I have to manually scroll up to show I've read it.
It's not a huge problem, unless you text as much as I do. It's a major nuisance. Is there a registry tweak we can change to mark it as read upon opening? NOT having to scroll to the message itself, in the thread?
Hi all, been lurking for a while but thought I would finally post up.
Having an issue with my Nexus S on stock ROM v2.3.3. It isn't the same issues with the keyboard disappearing etc but it is an issue with the keyboard not inputting text when I type.
If I am typing a SMS reply to someone on my phone and I pause for a few seconds (to talk to someone for example) then I try to continue typing, the keyboard acts like its typing but does not actually type anything else into the message. The only fix I have managed to discover is exit the SMS so that a draft gets saved then once I go back into the message it works again.
Don't know if that is a clear enough description but if anyone else has any suggestions or even a fix for it then it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Yeah I have that too sometimes. What also happens to me about every week is, that the smiley sections' and the (particularly important for me since I'm from Austria and using the German keyboard ü-ö-ä) special buttons and symbols' pop up extension (hard to describe, but I mean the thing that pops up when you put your finger on the expandable tile for like 2 second and which let's you select the unusual symbols from a list) simply will not pop up. So it would make it impossible for me to choose from the pre-created smileys etc.
I have found out that changing your input method to another keyboard (I use SwiftKey in these cases) and then changing it back Android keyboard make the problems disappear. But they seem to come back regularly and I haven't found out what causes them to appear...
Any help?
Has anybody noticed the following Mango bug:
You say, "Text John Smith."
WP says, "Say your message."
You dictate your message, it is transcribed, but contains a minor error. So you hit the "edit" button and manually make a change. However, instead of "Smith, John" appearing in the to: field, you get "Smith; John" (semicolon instead of comma)
When you hit send, you get an error.
That's not happening in my device and it sends the message fine! I have DFT's Mango ROM with language in Spanish..
Weird. On my Focus, it happens to me every single time I initiate the text with voice using a person in my contact list having a first and last name. It only happens when I try to edit the dictated text message using the "edit" button. If I simply say "send," it works perfectly.
LOL that's not happening in my device...
I am sharing some profiles and projects which are very useful for me. The background is that I have installed tasker to minimize the apps for little things. I am not posting night profiles or profiles turning wifi off etc., so I think this thread will not be boring.
Here they are:
Project New Messages:
It has following profiles/tasks:
Show custom notification of new text
Open a Jellybean-like message reply popup upon clicking notification
If we decide to view message via default notification, clear the tasker's generated notification
Light up screen on receiving new text, if screen is locked.
The sceenshots are also attached for this project.
PROFILES:
Find phone, a "productive" GPS Locator solution.
When we send a text "findphone" to our number, following tasks are performed:
Set Wifi to off
Airplane mode on
GPS on
Get location via GPS (timeout 4 minutes)
Wait 4 minutes IF GPS location is not set yet
Airplane mode off
Wait 15 seconds (the time it takes for the network to be useable)
Send SMS to the number from which the findphone text had been sent (last incoming text number) (text will be: GPS [email protected] 00.000000, 00.00000)
Wait 15 seconds (to ensure the text has been sent)
Wifi on
Get Location via network (timeout 4 minutes)
Wait 4 minutes IF Network location is not set yet
Send sms again, now with the text like: Non-GPS [email protected] 00.000000, 00.00000
This turns wifi and mobile network off and turns gps on so the phone collects exact location data via satellites. after that, it turns the networks on and sends the exact gps location text. Then it also collects and sends the approximate gps data with the help of network, so the receiver will receive two texts. The format in which the texts are sent is made in such a way that if we copy the whole text of message and search in google maps's app, it will pinpoint to the exact location and not the nearest road.
Instant Missed Call Notify
Send text "Missed call from" followed by the number we had a missed call from, to a predefined number. (ignore the word instant)
Instant SMS forwarding
Forward all texts to a predefined number with text like "From [Name][Number]: [Text]
Send Email To Faraz
When composing an email, if we long press the search button, it will type in a part of email address, then press down then enter, hence selecting the first contact from the dropdown menu. Then it presses the down button like 4 times, then left then enter button (ALL ARE D-PAD FUNCTIONS), So, the send button is pressed. This is useful for facebook page admins and those who want to share every other picture via email to a contact.
And... Faraz is the name of page
About the image of browser, this is just a screenshot I wanted to share, just to send out a message that even a simple web browser-like "application" can also be made within two days of using tasker, so tasker is not too difficult and that the new users should give it a try
How come you make the screen go ON in #1

I did it with Secure settings plugin
Thank's man! I wish there was a specific thread for tasker where we could share profiles / scripts for tasker. It's a really underrated powerful tool that requires a bit of a learning curve, but once we get on with it, the possibilities are literally endless!

Yes, there are many useful implementations, but I haven't found posts other than those who teach about turning wifi off in car or turning volume down at night.
I will hopefully post another, better than this, implementation soon. It's about adding widget-like functionality on the lockscreen of HTC.
See this preview, I am still building it.
The text at the bottom is email's subjects followed by the sender's names. Text looks broken here because this image was uploaded in intention of getting help with this exact matter.

There are some tutorials here on xda onder Android category. A brief search came up with extended results in how to use tasker. Some of them are quite good.
But yes, I agree that the app itself should have an official tutorial for the basic / medium stuff, the rest we would exploit and figure out on our own
