If someone is online the phone automatically will send them the message to Windows Live messenger, even if I\m not even logged in. Now I have friends who just loooooove to leave their computer online and leave for days. I need to be able to text them. How do I make my phone stop auto-selecting WLM and go to text?
Edit: It seems I didn't properly look through every option. I hadn't seen the "switch" button.
On the bottom part where is the send button 4th icon is to choose how your sms is send - through your phone or through any social network. At least on my HTC Surround

Well not sure if this is the right area for this but since I am using an inspire thought you guys can help. If not then Mods can move it to the right area.
So I was thinking how can I display my phone on my pc when I receive a text or if someone called me it can show on my pc. like if I left my phone in another room and a call or text comes through and im on my pc it will notify me or I can answer it or send a text back? if anyone gets what im saying =)
Second half of my question would be about remote log in? anything to recommend and easy set up and will it work if your pc is in sleep mode and will it work if you wanted to pull up a movie or some music/tv shows (archer my fav and or pics I know about dropbox. but not all what im looking for. But if this has been made a thread about my 2nd q just post the link. thanks
If you have a Google Voice number, it'll show on your pc when you're logged into gmail and I prefer Team viewer for remote client, although it doesn't wake from sleep mode.
If you need that feature, Log Me In has it at a very hefty price.

damn well Ill have to keep looking around thanks for the reply
pdaNET will allow your texts to pop up on screen when connected to ur phone via WiFi. not sure about the calls tho.
Most of my contacts, when scrolling through the lists have the correct pick from facebook or whereever. But when I am on a call with a contact, I get the generic silhouette, how do I make it so my contact pic shows up when i am on a call.
I know it is a small nit pick, my my 18 mo old daughter talks to my family on the phone and would know who she was talking to on my t'bolt, I would like to be able to have the same thing on my charge.....
From what I have found from testing (b/c I was wondering as well), you have to sync your contacts through the setup wizard and then join each of the accounts. Just syncing through the facebook app only sets their pic in contacts, but not in the dialer. I even tried to long press and set the default picture ID and it still didn't show in the dialer.
thanks, I think I lost setup wizard when I rooted and went to humble, but I'll check.
yeah i lost mine too when i rooted to gummyCHARGED, wish they left that in.
I was wondering if anyone was experiencing something similar. I have set up facebook chat and it works great. In fact, it might work too well. When I am actively logged on using facebook chat on the pc, my phone receives the entire conversation and gives the text message alert each time i recieve a message during the chat.
Anyone know how to disable this or work around it so that when your chatting on the pc the phone doesnt receive the messages in real time? I guess its not that big of a deal..just annoying.

Just go to Messaging -> online -> status -> offline when you want to temporarily disable it. I don't think there is anything else you can do.
Appear Offline works too. If you want stay connected to MSN and disconnect from Facebook.
I am a life-long BlackBerry user, but I recently switched carriers and thought I'd like to give Windows a shot now. I bought a Touch Pro 2 just to start, and I can not get the darn thing to send an SMS. I have no problems recieving SMS, I can send both picture and video messages just fine, I can even reply to SMS, but can not initiate an SMS at all. When I go into the application, type my message, hit 'send' the send key does light up, but does not even attempt to send- the curser in the message just keeps blinking and nothing happens. I tried installing a 3rd party SMS app, but when I try to send though it I get a 'check your network availability' error. I sat on the phone with US Cellular for 4.5 hour while they tried everything from restting the device to restting my settings, and could not resolve the issue. I have tried in portrait veiw, landscape view, everything. It is very frustrating, because I need to be able to send messages asap. I have searched everything, from hotkey apps to SMS apps and can't find anything anywhere that does not require me to use the native 'send' button. If anyone could offer any advice, it would be so much appreciated!
(Meant to post this in the Touch Pro 2 section)...
Nevermind...never occured to me to remove the SIM card. Problem resolved.
I understand that when I am signed in on gTalk on both phone and laptop at the same time, an incoming message will be notified on both the phone and the laptop. Is there any way to make it so that when I am also on laptop, the notification will not come up on the phone?
beside gtalk, i also used msn and facebook chat which also support multiple sign in. apparently, this is the behavior of the im client, only gtalk is smarter, once you reply to chat it will know where you are currently active and won't notify at other devices. the dumbest is of course facebook, where it will send multiple message to all clients non stop for few days.
so i guess a better place to ask this maybe here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Talk
