Does anyone know how to get the Voicemail | 1 icon off the today screen?
I want to keep the plugin on the today screen as I use the photo part of it for speed dial, but I want to get the voicemail one off. There was another one that I was able to delete, but it seems that palm wants us to keep the voicemail one on there if we use the speed dial feature. I go to setup and try to delete it, but it says it can not be deleted.
Thanks for the help/hack.
Start>Settings>Today>Items TAB (at bottom)> select speed dial>OPTIONS>select VM icon>MENU>DELETE
That's not what I asked. I know how to delete it completetly, but all i want to do is delete the voice mail icon not the whole speed dial option.

Obviously - you did not know the answer either. I was not trying to be antogonistic by any means. But I thought that the questions was fairly clear in stating that I did not want to delte the entire feature. Just the voicemail icon. And yes, I have researched this quite a bit and I can not find the answer to my question.
Don't wear your feelings on your sleeve man!

Yes you are right. Just change the label & shortcut key on the voicemail button. You can also link a contact with a photo so the ugly button does not show.
thanks for the tip!
Assign the Voicemail button to a contact with a picture. It moves it up to the picture row and gets around the "can't delete voicemail" problem.
awesome!
I recently found the photobucket mobile http://m.photobucket.com and thought it would be nice to have a shortcut or an app that makes it quick to send a photo to my account.
So far I created a shortcut on start menu that leads to ":MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -to "myaccountaddress" -subject "New Pictures"". I would like to find the right parameters to lead to "Menu,Insert,Picture". So it takes me straight to choosing my photos. Is this possible with a command line? Or do I need something like mortscript to get to that point?
EDIT:I tried these commmands so far plus some others(just added to end of above): -insert; -attach; -picture
Any help would be appreciated. I did search (which is how I got to this point), but couln't find what I needed. THANKS in advance. I will share what I come up, as I would like to also link to a photobucket icon to make it look like an app.
I see that there is an uploading app for Verizon and some other carriers. This is not what I'm interested in. I dont use data, and dont want to pay an extra 2.99 a month for the uploading service. I would like to either select my shortcut and select photos, or somehow add send to...photobucket to the default Pictures & Videos app(pimg.exe).

This will probably be better answered in the Q&A section (and it should probably be there as it's a question), so that's where it's going!

Thats a no then
Anyway did you ever get anywhere with this?
hello,
i've probably spent more than an hour now searching for the answer to my question:
is it possible to directly send a photo via email with my i780? if i press the send button in the camera app it automatically creates an mms, which is not what i want.
if this is not possible with the builtin app, is there any other way?
i'm really disappointed, even my 2+ year old nokia phone could do this out of the box...
thank you!
silly question i know... but you have setup an email account on your phone yes?
yes i did
i'm pretty sure it's the samsung camera app which is causing this. i spent my morning reading the msdn library and have since put together a quick and dirty solution... although i still can't believe that this can't be done with the standard application.
create new email, add your photo as an attachment. (or you can just send the "mms" to the email address)
sending mms to e-mail addresses is 30cents each here, so this is not an option
and of course i can just add my picture as an attachment after: closing the camera, going through the start menu to open messaging, create a new e-mail, select the right picture after selecting the right folder, add text. but this will take a(t least a) minute and is not what i wanted
directly mailing pics should be a standard feature on every phone with a camera...
anyway, if anyone is interested in what i wrote, i'd be glad to give out the source code (there's much room for improvement) on request.
Hi bocki! Can you please tell me how to do your quick and dirty solution. I have the same problem and I want to send a photo taken staright from the camera application. Thanks for letting me know how this works! Can you maybe even post it here? Thank you very much!!!
hey,
i attached the binary i'm currently using to this post. it needs the .net compact framework 3.5 (because i suck at everything else than c# and has currently no error handling at all, so if your device is not supported (which unfortunately i can't try out, it worked on my i780 and on the device emulator, so i guess that's a good sign!) you might even have to softreset...(but probably the app will just crash and nothing else will happen)
on first use, you will have to select the right e-mail account - it gets saved when you close the app and will be chosen automatically on subsequent starts.
if you have any problems, please let me know (it's best if you drop me a pm), i might be able to help!
[edit]new version on the next page, you'll probably want to get the newer one.[/edit]
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!!
Any way I can change the size of the picture I am sending? I believe I can only choose 640. I would love to send a different size, too.
Also: The pictures gets saved into "Eigene Bilder". Anyway I can change the folder name in the registry?
Excellent work!!!! Thank you so much!
hey
glad my program is of use to others as well...
the "eigene bilder" destination is due to me hardcoding the german path, i will think of a better solution
the same goes for the resolution, as i said, this was quick and dirty (and by dirty i mean really really really ugly. ) - but i will fix this.
if you have any knowledge of c#, you may be able to fix this yourself, let me know if you need the sourcecode
i will address these issues as soon as possible and keep you posted!
skipping university in favour of coding was a good idea!
i implemented very basic error handling - if your camera is not supported, you will now get a very generic and vague error message
the same goes for invalid resolutions and folders, which can now be configured after the first start. (the first start will reset the path to \my documents\my pictures and the resolution to 640x480) sorry, no fancy dialogs, you'll have to enter the full path yourself (but you only have to do this once, so i hope this is okay).
any problems or other feature requests? let me know, i'm currently in the right mood
Hi Bocki! Thanks for looking at these issues. I am not too worried about the any of them, the folder is fine with me. But resolution would be very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot program it myself. :-( Thanks again for sharing!
please see the post directly above yours and try out the new version
Oops! I must have missed that, sorry! Great application, Thank you! I found out that if I put in 800*600, the camera starts with 1600 and I can choose my desired resolution. If I put in 1024*768 I don't get a choice. Would be great if one could also determine fine, normal etc...
Dont miss too much Uni, hehe.
Are you currently in Germany?
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 ?

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.

1) I think so, not sure.
2) -
3) yes
4) -
5) since lauch
6) -
7) Yes and this is already possible. Just create a second contact and link them together. Kind of hacky true, but it works.

Ι am sure that you never had an WP7 device for everyday use ...
I think you just play with one for while ..but not for every day use

@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.
Sorry in advance if this has specifically been addressed. Doing a quick search didn't seem to cover it.
Is it possible for the experts here in XDA to write something into Android's code to allow for a Reply All feature in SMS, like in iPhone's SMS? I'm thinking the Reply All feature must be unfixable because there is conversations all over the internet for people requesting Google to fix it. Some have even stayed with Apple because they would miss that feature too much.
And why you're at it, build in emoticons. The emoticons are only available in 3rd party apps, like GoSMS Pro and Handcent, as far as I know.

Addressing the second question here...
Which emoticons are you referring to? You can already use all the regular emotes in an SMS. ;-)
You might want to take a look at alernative keyboards to make your emoticon chatting a little easier (swiftkey has quick buttons for emotes, for example).

This is not the place to request features. if what you are looking for is in gosms, use it. Not to come off as a d*ck but this isnt burger king, they dont have your rom your way right away.
If you were find code that would be usable for this feature, it would be a better way to present your request.
Ranting aside, i believe gosms also has the reply all feature if im not mistaken. Im not sure as i dont have an iphone to compare with. But i do use gosms as my sms replacement.

First off, I'm not requesting anything special in a ROM. My question was that if any of the bright developers have the knowledge to incorporate some of the emoticons into stock mms. Perhaps I should have stated emoji and not emoticons. The ones I'm referring to ARE the ones you find in GoSMS and Handcent, but it would be nice to just use the stock app instead of a 3rd party app to be able to get those. The ones those replying above are referring to basic emoticons (I know, I probably was asking for the wrong things) that can be type in using symbols. I too have been using GoSms and Handcent for the past 2 1/2 years and know that the Reply All feature in GoSMS will respond to all, but send out individual messages, thus breaking the conversation.
Maybe iPhone uses a code that isn't native to Android because I know those 2 platforms steal all they can from each other as it is.

By the way, where would YOU request features? There doesn't seem to be a dedicated forum for that and you're implying there is a place if this isn't it.

I don't personally because i know well what the devs go through to get a rom out and be proud of it just to hear 'well can you do this?'. The best place would be a specific roms Q/A thread, because if you post in general then lets say optimistically 3 rom developers add the feature for you, you are only going to use one rom, thus 2 of the devs just wasted their time.Also it is far easier to just get an app that does what you want instead of bloating up android with moogly eye faces. Android after all is extremely modular and is all just a collection of apps. so asking to 'build in' is really just modifying an app so you dont have to spend 30secs to download one. like i said, if gosms does what you want, download it. because being that bloaty isnt for everyone so its easier to just leave it stock and let users download what they want to add to their phones.

might also work better since you are looking for features that would not be phone specific.
