Help with MMS notifications - General Questions and Answers

When I recieve a new MMS message from someone in my contact list that I have assigned a picture to, the standard WM6 notification that shows the sender, and their photo comes in at the very bottom of the screen and it is half cut-off.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks

Another bump...
Can anyone send me in the right direction (besides the search ) for this one?

I have a kaiser with a stock ROM.
I'm sure this has to do with PCM, and S2V. When you use either of these apps to assign contact photo's the higher resolution is also shown on the notification bubble/window when you recieve an MMS message.
But instead of some sort of "auto adjust", the notification window comes in on the same place on the today screen, but the window is half cut off.

hehe... i think you answered yourself.

Yeah, I know what's causing it, but I want to know how to *fix* it without having to possibly reassign all of my contact pic's with the WM6 contact manager.
Is there something in the registry that can adjust where the notification shows up on the screen??

what i meant was... that you'd probably need to either use it as is or talk to one of the developers to see how to fit the pics differently... or it would throw itself back to different res.

yes, but on the old touch you could add the whole contact, and then when you pressed it you got to choose what number to call. Perhaps its a reg entry, i haven't looked
I had a look in the registry, and it seems that the contacts are stored under:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Contacts
could someone with a htc touch and/or dual (or some older version of the touchflow) post some information on what those keys contain?

[Manila 2D] People Tab

Hi
I've tried the search but I could'nt find anything because the words were too common. I'd like to change the behaviour of the people tab in manila 2D, so that when I click a picture it calls the person instead of opening up the contact file... I don't really understand why it does this anyway, because when you add a contact in the tab in the first way it asks you to choose either mail/sms or phone number, and even adds a little icon on the bottom...
Thanks everyone

I'm sure you've figured this out, but if you press on the bottom part of the contact picture (with the phone symbol or icon) it will call them.
I like the feature that when you tap the upper portion it open up contact info. If you want to text or email one of your fav contacts it's the easiest and quickest way to do so.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a feature of M2D that is built in and can't be changed. Kinda like asking for a calendar tab, or stock tab.

Just for future reference, it is against forum rules to double post. I know you found the Manila thread, after you already started this thread, but you should have search before starting a new thread.
I would've actually switched between the option if it was up to me
clicking the picture should call the person and the bottom part should bring up the contact's page.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Sometimes my big thumb hits the picture when I'm in a rush.
P.s. I have to apologize for a double post as well, I answered his question in both threads.
lol, it's alright.
anyways, if it's changeable, herg will know what to do.. i'll see about that.
my problem is the opposite of this.
when i clik the picture in the people tab nothing happens. but when i click the name it calls the contact. how do i make it work to bing up the contact info when i clik the picture.
thanks
strangely buggy... I've never heard of that before. It might be the skin. try changing it use M2D customizer and see what happens.

Clear mail notification automatically on preview of TF3D?

When I read a text message in TF3D preview, it automatically clears the notification. Is there a work around to also do this with the mail preview? Most of my emails are short but after reading the preview, I still have to go into the messaging inbox, select each message and then OK back out to TF3D.
Go into Inbox, then Menu/Select Messages/Several. Select the unread ones, hold the stylus on one and select Mark as Read.
Use this - it works on mine. Disable Touch Flo on your Start/Settings/Today/Items, then use Total Commander and move/replace the manila file in your Windows folder, then re-start Touch Flo and this should cure this bug.

Can you please explain what this actually does and what version of sense it's for? I would very much like to be able to mark an email as read without having to actually pull up the email. Either a menu option during preview, a new button or just the fact that it was previewed would work for me.
BTW (to the original poster), I use S2U2 and it allows you to preview emails while locked and mark them as read.

This doesn't mark an email as read without having to actually pull up the email. What it does is exactly what WMGuy wanted. It clears the envelope in the taskbar without having to open the email in WM. This manila file works with touch flo 2.0. I'm not sure if it will work with 2.1, 2.5 or 2.6. The only thing I can suggest is that you back up the manila file from your Windows folder first and then try....
With regard to your request to be able to mark an email as read, you are lucky you get a preview in the first place - if you use Blackberry to get your emails, you don't get a preview! It gives you the sender and subject but just says "click to open message"!!!! So I'm sorry, but I can't help with your question kravguy. I would actually like something for this too. With the option to delete it as well.
You could try this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265

I have searched on manila 2.5 and this file doesn't exist in windows folder so maybe this is only for manila 2.1.

I don't know about 2.1 as I have 2.0. Perhaps it doesn't exist but should do???

You mean place the file there even if it doesn't exist and see what's happen???
I can try that
EDIT: doesn't do anything!! So for manila 2.5 we must find other way to clear notification in tab mail on preview.
I really want a solution for this because in most cases the preview is enough for me so why enter the inbox to mark as read??
Well I've been in a flashing marathon for a few days. I'll gladly go back to 2.0 for this reason alone. 2.5 is nice but kinda busy and slow for me anyway.
So just to clarify mitsi, when you get an email, you slide to the email tab, read the preview and then the notification clears automatically from the envelope (after applying the file)?
Thanks

Yes, that's right. If you're going to flash a 2.0 rom instead, why not just try this manila to see if it works on your 2.5 first? I'd be interested to know. I prefer 2.0 to 2.1/2.5 anyway because I want at least 4 appointments showing on my today screen even if they are up to a month in advance....
Didn't somebody already try and it didn't work?
BTW, what ROM are you using?

You're right, Zimaia edited his post and I didn't notice it.
I'm using the HTC Stock Rom 1.39.405.2 (47382) with Manila 2.0.37889.1. It works fine for me.
I'm kinda surprised that this isn't a bigger issue or that HTC didn't think to add a little more functionality in the email preview tab. 2 (what seems to be easy) functions (delete and mark as read)... there's a reply (to all which is another frustrating thing to me) but nothing else? My main problem is this, I get some emails in, and want to delete some and keep some. Well, since I cant do that from the preview, I have to go to the inbox. Problem with that though is that I have no way of scrolling through them to delete here and there (maybe I'm missing something here). I can pop up the menu and click on the option to select multiple messages, but that's not really what I want. I want to do something like, select the fourth message in the list (without opening it), delete it, then select the 6th, etc. I can't seem to get the zoombar to work.
If I'm understanding you correctly, to delete the 4th message in the list without opening it, just tap and hold on the message and a context menu will pop up with delete as an option.
Well I tried it with 2.1 and it was a no go also. So I can verify that 2.1 and 2.5 don't work. I even found the exact file I was supposed to be replacing so I was excited. But all it did was shrink down the size of the preview folder. Message notification stays.
Hopefully a solution will come to this someday soon.

I tried s2u2. I have all Lock System Notfications on. When I preview the message on the lock screen: A) I can't seem to figure out how to mark them as read without going into messaging and B) I can't figure out how to browse through all of the previews (ie if I have more than 1 new email).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

When the preview comes up, tap and hold on the message till it goes away. It should mark it as read (if you have that turned on in the settings) and then the next preview should come up.

What about tapping and holding the message you want to delete?
i would also like to be able to have preview mark an item read, like outlook has the opttion after X seconds to mark an item read when using the preview pane

Changing default SMS/MMS program

Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.

[REQUEST] fullscreen contact picture

is there any app able to do this? whenever a i get an incoming call is it possible to make the contact picture larger? or fullscreen?
im a noob as many of you can see, so also my nexus is unrooted
thanks in advance!
I want this so bad too. wish there was some way to change it but there were some Hero Roms for my old G1 that would make them larger but then they were blurry / usharp. So you would have to have some way of using a higher resolution picture for all your contacts. In short I would assume it is possible, maybe some one know how.
