Hi friends
i noticed, each time if i want to send a message, i've to go to message-> selecting the account->and then new.
And what abt recently used numbers.. Each time have to select from contacts
I love this phone.. but why this phone lacks these basic stuffs
You can also start typing the number or the name (i.e 5->6->4->6 for John) on the home screen and switch left or right to SMS (txt) and then press the click on it, it will open the messaging app and you can start texting that person! Just a little tip
Otherwise look for AEButton which can assign a function to every hardware key!
Also, when you are in the messaging app and the "to" field is highlighted, just start typing the name, just like I told you above and a popup will open with all the possible names!

Ok, so I just realized that it's very troublesome to compose a new SMS, have to go to the inbox, press right soft key, press left joystick, press down joystick to select SMS and then start composing
So I got an idea to configure the Messaging button on Tornado Noble to point to the compose SMS straight away. I did some google, and found the attribute to the tmail.exe application.
So I tried to create a shortcut named Long_AP2.lnk, in it contain this line
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I saved it and transferred it to my phone, but it don't seem to work, feeling that my attribute might be wrong, I saved it as Short_AP2 and put into my phone, it works and by pressing the SMS button, it opens SMS composer straight away.
So the question is, why can't I get it to work on Long_AP2? Or the file name is supposed to be something else?
I also want to ask, what i that number 19 at the beginning of the line, hardware keys?
I think that the LONG_AP1.lnk activates when you hold the button for a few seconds.
Lol, I know that for sure,
I want to make long hold to activate compose sms, but short press to inbox
Anyone can help me? This is for our own good
keybddr.dll didn't support Long_AP2.
These aren't attributes. Attributes are what tell us whether or not file is hidden, read only etc...
These are parameters or switches.
I don't understand why you need to use a parameter to make tmail.exe open with a blank text message. Unless mine is broken, that's what it does by default. (In fact, I think mine is screwed up... wtf?)
Have you considered using mortscript?
andot:
If keybddr.dll doesn't support long_ap how is the media player supposed to use this for FFW in music/video?
I think it's supposed to support it.
I mixed up, it should be arguments
At default, it opens the inbox, not the blank text message
Long_AP2
With "AE Button Plus" you can map simple, double, triple and long click to one key.
This is a very usefull utility !
you need to modify the registry keys to use AEB Plus with the multimedia keys.

Hmm, I don't like to install additional cab to do simple stuff, perhaps find out what registry changes it does, and incorporate into a cab which installs the button, ill chk it out later

I fixed it. Don't know how it broke, but it works as you describe.
Is there no way to make a text version of a mailto: shortcut?
Good that you fixed it, but hope we can have 2 purpose with a button
short hold for inbox, long hold for sms
as you know, with Wm6, composing sms is even more troublesome compared to wm5
How to forward SMS in new WM6.1 threaded SMS? Hope somebody will come out with an easy solution for that.
Thanks.
yeah im not a fan of the new threaded sms some one said that you can select it with the dpad and then bring up a menu... i could never do it. plus you cant search your sms any more?!?
Just go into the conversation that contains the SMS you want to Forward, select (highlite ) the SMS you want to forward, press "menu" then select "Forward...
works

I've tried that before. It won't work.
before opening the message in the inbox folder, press and hold the message until the menu pops up. "forward" is one of the options there.
or tap menu>reply>forward

What he said. You have to highlight a particular part of the actual thread BEFORE you can see the forward. (He doesn't mean highlight the message in your inbox.)

Thanks.... sorry for being so stupid. At last for the first time I can forward my SMS without having to to do "copy & paste" way.

But tapping the name will bring out the contact's detail menu. You will need to close the contact details to see the highlighted blue message. Anyway to prevent it from opening the contact details?
Sorry, I found it. You actually need to drag and highlight the sender's name and message..
This used to anger me to no end, as I forward a lot for work. I would try the highlighting and everything but still get the greyed out forward option.
The simplest option is to just open the message and simply press the up key once and it highlights the last message received in blue. You can then forward it. No need to highlight any text or name.
SMS forwarding in HTC diamond
YES it works.... on my HTC diamond....
open the SMS press the "up" key once, go to the menu and
"forward option is "un-grayed"
I have been trying for a solution since long... but this one worked....
thanks XDA

I can not highlight the SMS i wanted to forward. Earlier it was working. But I used few tweaks & not the cursor remains in the Text Box. Don't go to sms when i press UP button. Please help
Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks
intresting question got the same problem
I would like this too!
Check out this thread:

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!
So far the new ROM is ok. I like being able to remap my PTT. My question is about while typing either e-mail, text, or whatever the word is highlighted but for what. when i try to add a name to whoever i'm sending the message to unlike the old ROM it just highlights what i type it doesn't begin suggesting names. how do i disable this function. thanks
What is this feature? Mine does it too but it appears to be random. Any thoughts?
Try disabling "Enable Auto Correct" in your input settings
When typing the message, press the function key, then the right > key
at the right most lower corner of the keyboard (if it is a fuze). The pop up
will display, it is probably on T9, select abc, and that should stop it, if that is the problem you are having.
I quite like the stock dialler, but how do you phone someone quickly? Currently I:
1) press the dialler icon
2) press the * icon
3) press the avatar for the person I want to call
4) click on the desired phone number (home, mobile, work etc).
Can I somehow skip at least step 4 and have a default number for them so that just clicking their contact photo phones them (and long pressing pulls up the other info, perhaps)?
1) press the dialer icon
2) start typing the name of the person you want using the dialpad (similar to T9)
3) Press the name and number you want to dial, it will initiate the call

That's another way to do it, certainly, but it doesn't seem to do very much towards reducing the number of keys I press!

Stick the top contacts widget on the desktop and use that, two clicks, or click phone and make sure the top three people are one of the ones you want to dial, or scroll and the keyboard disappears to show call log. 2 Clicks.
Can't say there is going to be a much quicker way of doing it short of voice controls...
There should be speed dial settings but there aren't
You can put direct dials into a swipe launcher. You can call those wity one swipe. Smart task launcher for example has more than 700 spots, swipe pad is more user friendly.
I have used this widget on almost every android I have had in the last few years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.yuyang226.contactswidget
I use Nova Launcher. Swipe up on the dialer icon means direct call to my wife ?
