Problems with AT&T Tilt - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I need some help with my tilt. Im running WM6.1. I have some problems with my texting:
When I type a message, it doesnt automatically capitalize things like "I" and it doesn't put in apostrophes when needed
I set it to organize my text messages by "Recieved", but it changes the text from the time it got it to the day it got it, and puts the earlier date on the bottom
I also want to remove the "Zoomboard" option that's in the menu for choosing a text input mode; it's still there after I uninstalled it.
These problems began after I uninstalled vito zoomboard and vito SMS-Chat, I dont know what to do to fix it
Another problem I have is that when I try to type out a person's name when choosing who to send a text to, it doesn't automatically show their name and number like this:
Random Person <number in here>
Again, after I uninstalled vito zoomboard and vito SMS-Chat, these problems arose.
Is there a registry edit or something to fix this? Please help!

Different message delivery notification?

On a previous phone I owned, the message delivery notification was just a little icon that appeared in the sent items list. On my N95 notifications were saved in a seperate folder without popping up on screen or ringing/buzzing.
On the raphael, delivery notifications are just normal text messages, which isn't the most practical solution. Is there software for WM that can change this behaviour? Turning it into an icon view would probably be difficult technically, but not displaying a bubble when the notification arrives and silently moving it to a seperate folder would also be a nice solution.
So, is there any way to enable this on the Raphael?
Anyone?...
I tried the program SMS reports eraser, but that doesn't do the job either :/
Is there software that just intercepts the report, marks it as read and places it in a seperate folder?
You should try MagiCall.

Thanks for the tip. I installed it, and made a rule saying that all SMS messages containing the word 'delivered' should be marked as read and moved to a seperate folder. I then saved, performed a softreset, and sent a SMS to a friend.
Unfortunately, this one doesn't work either Could it be that the TF3D interface is overruling the Messaging app, and with it blocking programs that try to tie into the messaging part?
I also find the way these are handled annoying compared to my old N95. The notifications don't even have the person's name, just the number which makes it even worse!
I tried SMS reports eraser and it stopped me from being able to send messages and when people sent them to me I never got them even though the other person got a delivery report!
A suitable program or idea for these would be great. This is my first windows mobile phone and that's probably my biggest issue with it, apart from that it's great.
Ignore this!
Start>Settiings>Sounds & Notifications Select Notification tab. Go to New Text Message. From there, you can select Display Notification on Screen. That keeps the popup to nothing more than the envelope in the top bar once you deselect it.
Hope that's what you are looking for.

Delivery reports have no phone number but with a sender name, such as 'System Administrator'. To filter them, just use MagiCall to filter that sender name. Example:
Rule type: SMS
Filter type: Sender name
Name list: System Administrator
Action1: Move to folder
To: spec_folder
Leave all other settings default values. It should work.
Solution
Well, i seem to have the same problem, but i have found using Advance Config software to actually solve this problem. I am not sure if that is what u guys are looking for but after using the Advance Config, i will get a msg saying "msg sent" whenever i send an sms, but not get any report. So i am assuming when it says "MSG sent" it is already a delivary report which i got from my previous WM from from other PDA.
So here is how u do it. First install Advance Config, then go into settings, under messaging tab, change "sms sent notification" from disabled to enabled.
And restart your phone. Once done, everytime u send an sms, u will recieve a buble box saying " msg sent" thats all. No rubish in your inbox.
Let me know if this help. Thanks!
Is there any way to see the persons name in the notification instead of the number? This has been annoying me since I got my phone

While this works, this isn't exactly what the previous posters wanted. They wanted the delivery reports and not the sent reports.
Symbian S60 intercepted these delivery report messages and then displayed them as "popup dialogs" to users before storing them into a separate folders. This is also one of my gripes about WM6. But I can live without delivery reports.

Install the attached cab file and it will solve your problem......It worked perfectly on my TP
oK, thanks, I´ll try it tomorrow
I'm having the same problem, I was post a new thread but I searched and found this.
I like delivery notifications, but the fact that it comes as a normal SMS instead of a popup notification like on other phones is really annoying.
I'm not getting any notifications (sent or delivered) and I want to get at least 1. I live in an area where I have pretty spotty service and it's annoying to find out an hour later that my text never actually sent. Is there any way I can turn it on?
I checked the htc manual and it says I should be able to enable a delivery report before sending the message or in message options. However, my message options are light grey so I can't click on them. It's been like this since I took the phone out of the box.
Thanks so much.

Missing contacts when creating SMS

Greetings, all;
I am having a problem with my unlocked Treo that is driving me batty. The device "forgets" some of my contacts when I am composing an SMS.
The contacts never actually dissapear from the phonebook, and I can always start an SMS from the Contacts page, but when I start typing a name in the "To' line on the new SMS page, some names are just not there anymore.
It's never the same name, and doing a soft reset corrects the problem... for about a day.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks for the advise!
Fred
I would suggest that you backup your contacts using some free program such as TCB (total contacts backup) or PPC Contacts backup. Just back them up into a file in a folder in the phone or storage card. Then go back to the program and try to restore the contacts and choose the option of overwriting the existing contacts.
Also if you are referring to the drop down list when you choose list of contacts. Keep in mind that the list is only for people you have texted before, this not a list of contacts reflecting the phone book
yes.
i also have this same problem.
it seems like there are limited contact that showed in messaging box.
For example,
i have 20 contacts whose name is started from letters : "Sa"
but when i type "Sa" in the destination number on messaging box,
it is limited only to 10 contacts which is started from letters "Sa".
So the next 10 contacts is not showed up.
is there any possibility to tweak on registry to expand this limit ?
Pls help...
thanks a lot !

i had the same issue as well.....one contact wasn't showing up.
2 things. make sure that that contact's number has been saved as his/her mobile number, not home or anything.
secondly, just restart or something. the problem went away for me later.
Actually, the missing contacts issue happens in many application. And the search results depends randomly.
For example, I got 2 "Sherry" in my contacts from OutLook in my PC. And pretty aware that I keep the phone number in the right field.
Type Sherry in Today, I got 2 Sherry listed.
Type Sherry in Contacts, I got nothing.
Thpe Sherry in SpeedDial Setting(Link to Contacts), I got nothing.
Type Sherry in To field in New Message, I got 2 again!?!?
Very unpredictable!!! And different name will yield very different results.
Customer Rep from Palm suggest me to do a Hard Reset. But I don't think it will help, however I'll try it.
Hoping to get the solution here!!! Thanks in advance.
The wired search result is gone after I upgrade my Treo750 from WM6 to WM6.1 with a Special Cooked ROM(Build 19199).
After the upgrade, my data had been synced from OutLook again. I'm not sure whether ROM upgrade or data sync did resolve the problem.
Anyway, I'm happ again with my Treo750 again!!

Wired things again................
Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.

Problem with Goodlink and 750

I have a problem and I thought I'd see if anyone knew how to fix it. Prior to installing the goodlink client, when I pressed the green button and got a list of my prior calls, I'd also be able to use the 4-way and choose other numbers from my outlook contacts list for that contact. After installing goodlink, I only see the name and can't choose from a list of numbers. Anyone know what reg key will fix this?

[Q] SMS texting issue: Only number shows up

I haven't been able to find anyone else having this issue so I must have messed something up.
My problem is with the default text messaging app on android. I have the fascinate with the latest update. I have rooted my phone and debinged/lagfixed. I'd rather not do another factory reset but I can if I have to. The issue if I go to compose a new text message and choose the contact(lets say the name is Jane) Jane shows up in the drop down list as I type the name I select the name and type out a message and send it. Now when I go back to the lists of conversations only the phone# for that contact is listed and not the name. This is pretty annoying since so far it is only happening with a couple of the people I talk to the most and not others. Any ideas?

sms-contacts related issue

First, I have checked in threads and dint find answer.
Second, HTC is rooted, using NextGen 1.5 rom.
Problem : Please check the attached pics.
In sms, when i type "paev"..i get the suggested correct name "parv" with 'mobile' and 'home'. But when i type the correct "parv", i get the same numbers with 'mobile' and 'history'. I want "home" instead of "history"
Other issue is, I have saved many numbers as 'mobile' and 'other'...but in sms contact list, many of those 'other' numbers comes under "VOICE" tag.
These are not the major issues, but please help me with solving them.
Ok, I tried to partly figure out this problem..... the "home-->"history" problem occurs only when I have a sms in my inbox of that contact. I delete the message, problem gets solved. But i cant keep on erasing my messages...
so..any one help please ?
Set the home number as default. It may solve while you use it more. You can use simple third party SMS apps like SMS composer, handcent SMS, Go SMS...
