[FINALLY SOLVED!] Very annoying SMS bug in many different 6.1 ROMs

*There have been reports that this does not work on 6.5 roms. Please use at your own risk.*
Cab below!
It's discussed in this thread: HERE
Turns out its an issue with the htmlnote.dll file.
Thanks to all the help from everybody!
Cab replaces htmlnote.dll in the Windows directory with a friendlier one.
Both SMS and email work!
This has been a recent problem that's come up in many different threads but I still have yet to find a solution.
When selecting a message from the message tab in M2D the message is highlighted and you have to manually tap on the text box to start typing.
It's much easier to select the message and just start typing right away.
Is there a fix for this yet that I just can't find?

I've been looking as well, and I haven't come across anything.

Why you open this thread addition?

I've seen it within many different ROM's threads with no final answer or fix. I thought I'd try to collect it into one place since I know there are many different people with the same situation.

I have this bug to all of my roms and if you have this bug also if take from same contact more than 1 sms and you go to read it become "read it" only the final sms and the other 2 or 3 or more new sms from this contact stay "unread it" you must tap on sms to become "read it"
i searching for this bug if found something i will post it here..
also i have problem with power button issue
also perlyp have this 2 issue and chef of PDACorner..

I have the same problem. Also if I have an SMS thread open while receiving messages to the conversation. It does not mark them as "read" I have to open the conversation for each message received. If I have 4 SMS messages from the same number I should be able to open it once and have all messages marked as read in that conversation.

theres a temp fix for the unread sms issue. if u search for unread sms fix (i think thats what its called) ull find an exe that will fix that issue. u have to run it every time it happens but like i said its a temp fix. Ill post a link or the file when i get home.

thanks i found it. this site is great, filled with all kinds of info but sometimes it is hard to find.
**a side note the fix you suggested also fixed the original issue in this post.

why you so lazy

I think its just the problem with cooking process (you know blending sys and oem packages and stuff like that!). Some of the ROM's here do have that problem. Usually G's tend not to, but it all depends on the flavor of the day!

Loserskater, what app are you using for sms that this apply's to?
TW,

That fixed the SMS issue for me, however it seems to have broken e-mail. The read/unread icon doesn't display, and I can't open any e-mail or start a new message. Any ideas?

Funny you said that as i just checked and same here?
Please other peeps check your email amd see if it's broke, seems like even renaming htmlnote.dll to htmlnote.dllold so as the ROM recreates the file does not seem to fix it......

That's a shame, it got the SMS to work perfectly. Though I suppose that an annoyance with the SMS is better than completely broken e-mail. Seems like there must be a way to have both though.

[Q] Custom alert tones on Mango?

I know you can change ringtones in Mango, but I'm confused if there is a way to create custom alerts as well.
Is this a feature that just isn't implemented yet?
Thanks!

Use the forums search feature, there's a few threads already that explain how to do this.

I did search, and found the only options were linked to Alarm tones.
Maybe you could be so kind as to link a thread/post that goes into Alerts?

Wish people would give the links out and not say "search for it, its out there". I searched google and asked twice on the forum, nothing. If it can't be done fine, but if it can people need to show others.

Also still wondering if this is possible..

Use any music editing software(audacity etc) or Myxer.com and create an .mp3(I think .wav too, I'm not sure) file of the part of the song that u want as a ringtone. It has to be less than 39secs and less than 1MB. Then save the file anywhere on your computer(I save mine where I have my other music). Go to Zune software and locate the file that you made, right click it and change the genre to Ringtone(I had to type mine out) then then sync it to your device and you should be able to set it as a ringtone.

I can tell you what I did. I followed the instructions in the Mango Tips & Tricks thread. First you need to make sure your intended is less than 40 seconds long & less than 1 MB in size. Also, make sure it's a MP3 or WMA. To do this, used a audio editing software. I used AVS Audio Converter6 (Paid for app). Than load it into Zune by putting it in a folder being monitored by Zune for music. You can check in Zune settings which folders are watched & add or remove folders as needed. Now in the Zune software, find the file & right click on it. Click on Edit, than click the Genre field & type in Ringtone. Than just drag it to the WP7 icon at the buttom of Zune. On your WP7 device, go to the ringtones settings & it'll show up at the top of the list under "Custom". It'll be named by filename btw.

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

I can see and empathise with TooSlo's frustration here - he's asking if its possible to create alert tones and folks are beating him up for it and sending him info on how to create ring tones. Unfortunately, you can't use ringtones for the various alert tones.
I suppose a hack is possible. It may be as easy as finding the appropriate category and editing the metadata (like you do with Ringtones).

same problem ive had searching for custom alerts.. nobody understands the question.
is there any way to make the question clearer for people to understand what were after? i say that in a non-sarcastic manner truly

I can't find any information that allows for custom alerts. I've been looking for this as well.

Not tried in latest Mango but I did in 7712
Sideload Touch Explorer and send yourself the tone you want but rename as ALERT 10 etc (we have to overwrite one of the built in ones)
Open the email and download the attachment then using Touch Ecplorer look in the volatile folders and you will see your file then copy and paste to the windows folder.
You may have to open the email and open attachment a few times before it shows in volatile but you will find it eventually
Hope this helps

That's more or less the same thing you have to do in Mango, but with provxmls. Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519

You can try this: Advanced Configuration Tool 1.3.0.0 beta available - for Mango only
That app have this option.

Just to let everyone know I have just reflashed my HD2 to Mango 7720, and used the email, copy and paste to windows folder and it still works
To be more precise email yourself a wma file and call it something like Alert-10.wma the open your email and download then play the attachment.
Then press home key and open touch explorer and navigate to APPLICATION DATA then VOLATILE and then EMAILATTACHMENTS and look in any folders you find here then using touch explorer copy and paste the file to the WINDOWS folder and overwrite.
Then set alert 10 as your chosen tone (or whatever number you used) and hey presto

looks like us without htc have to find an alternative to modify the filesystem? it seems touch explorer only works on htc devices for the time being. I did test out the advanced config tool, but it doesnt seem to have privs to modify much of anything yet
anyone else have luck on LG?

The problem here is that you and many others who have posted how to make ringtones haven't bothered to understand what the original post was asking. This is what is wrong with forums these days. You do a google search and you get a question asked in a forum and instead of any good info, you get a senior member "beating up" some guy for arriving at their site. If you do not want to answer questions then don't post. These types of forums are meant to be a help, so be HELPFUL. At least post a link that answers the question, not a google search that will bring them right back to their question.
The original post WAS NOT asking how to make ringtones; we all knew how to do that before Mango was released. The question was the ALERTS that WP7 uses for SMS, MMS, email and alarms. I too was doing my own footwork when I came upon this question. And of course like many other responses to my google search, they all talk about RINGTONES. I did however find on this forum a post that might answer this one's question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368361
The answerer mentions using something called touchxperience/touchxplorer, but does not go into any detail as to how he was able to accomplish this.
I can imagine I'll go to that post and reply as to how he did it and some senior member will beat me up and say something about how I should do my own research.
BE HELPFUL!! Please.

i had used heathcliff's file deployer and deployed to /my documents/my ringtones (i think it was a .wma)
then changed the registry path for sms ringtones to point to the file. i think i used wp root tools to change the registry entry since it was easier than finding it in the registry.
that should work for LG phones also

I tried it last month and all of the filesystem tools I had attempted were unable to make modifications. I tried Advanced explorer, diagprovxml(I think this was for maybe getting the wifi tether working..), and another one that I cannot recall at the moment. None of these were able to successfully modify the files properly.
LG still no go for me, unless someone else has gotten it to work since I last tried?

That is out dated information neither Touch experince nor Touch explorer are currently working on Mango. Supposedly there is a beta version that works on Mango but you have to donate and ask the dev to be a beta tester and wait and see if he actually responds. Well I'm waiting of a straight forward way.

[Q] Problem with Viber - photo and video on Viber's folder look like damaged

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 device.
I have a problem with Viber.
The video files and photo files that I received with viber from my friends look like broken, I don't know wath's happened?
If I see the conversations I can see the photos, but if I go to search on the viber's folder I can't see those and I can't open the photos files. Also if I search on the viber's photo folder from my computer when I connect the phone I can't open the photos or videos.
I send you a pictures of wath my phone show when I open the viber's folder.
You can help me to solve this problem?
Thanks

Thank you for the report of the problem.
We would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to specify the link to this page in the approapriate place in the form, for monitoring purposes). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance

I did it few days ago, and this is what they answered to me:
""Dear Viber user,
We would like to apologize for the delayed response to your ticket.
In the last few days we did few maintenance tasks at our backend that should improve our service and might resolve the issue you reported.
If the issue persists, please reply to this email and we will contact you as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Viber Support Team""
But the problem is still not solved, I also told to them, but they didn't answer me yet...

please somebody answer

I ran into the same issue. In the first run, I succeeded in deleting the photos in gallery and/or in file manager. Few days later "broken" photos showed up again. Finally 20000 additional photos/24 hours. I deinstalled viber. However Androit does not let me delete that huge amount of files all at once. Photo by photo works but will keep me buys for years,. Androit file transfer on Mac does not handle the viber folder with that amount of files.
Any Idee how to contact Viber to let them remove "broken" photos? At least Viber put them on my device.

Hi all,
This issue should have long been resolved (in previous updates). If it still persists (creation of new broken images), then we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Thanks in advance!
@cocorino -
We apologize for the many broken photos on your phone's gallery. Unfortunately we can't offer an official solution for this "leftover". You might want to check for third-party applications for doing so.
Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience, and as far as we know - the problem has been taken care of and no new photos are generated now.

[Q] Whatsapp images organizer

Hello everyone
I searched the web and somehow it looks like nobody else tried it before. Weird.
Anyway, after long time I've decided to backup my whatsapp photos and move them to the computer. There are a lot of images from many different people, and I want to organize the photos in different directories according to the different contacts. I can't do it one by one, and unsuccessfully tried to find an automatic tool/app for that.
It must be possible to do, since when I enter a contact there an option to see the media only with that person, but I don't even know at which file that information should be.
Does someone know or have a solution for me?
Thanks as lot:angel:

Wandering to see if there's any solution yet

Hi everybody.
I made my own solution a few months ago. It works pretty well, but it was not a phone app, and it requires some technical skills: https://peremolto.net/projects/whatsapp-organizer-script/README.txt
Seems to be a wanted tool, so I am also currently developing it as an Android native application.

It usually creates an additional folder, where the images get stored.
If you can't see them trough album, then try File commander-pictures.
They should show somewhere there.
Have you tried restarting the phone?
Try to download an additional galery app from playstore.
If they are still not displayed, then just doa factory reset on the phone, of course backup any important data before that and then see what happens. I've never heard of something like that, but it might just be a glitch.

Try a different gallery app like Quickpic
