Windows Client Annoyance - AirDroid

I really want to like Airdroid and use the windows client, but it's got a huge annoyance.
When it's running and minimized to the system tray, it still shows up in the alt-tab menu. Why?! No other apps that are minimized to the system tray show in the alt-tab menu.
I've emailed support and they said they'll look into it, but it's already been a month.
This doesn't bother anyone else? I see the same thing on 2 different windows 8.1 PCs, so I assume everyone else is seeing this behavior?

Can someone at least confirm it works this way for everyone?
It's not a deal breaker for all of you?

Its really nice app. But I am also facing the same problem with alt tab

They replied to my post on their support forum. They know it's an issue and will fix it in March or April.
Why so long to fix? I don't get how this doesn't bother anyone using it.

Text Problem!! This really sucks

Ok so when I get a text or email on my TF3D and I open the email or text. Then I hit reply/open the qwerty and the box comes. then I start to type and it goes into my phone!! I x the phone out and im back to main display with qwerty open. So then I have to go back in messages select message and reply.
Anyone else????? This is frustrating when you are trying to type a quick message.
Yes i have encountered this problem, not just with texting. Try pairing with bluetooth in landscape...i bet the passcode prompt does that same thing?

If issues like this dont get fixed I will dump this in the garbage drawer, sad but windows really needs to get stupid stuff like this figured out. I never have these issues with RIM and other devices.

Perhaps try a cooked ROM such as fireROM?? if you leave the ROM as it was when you bought it then you havent played the game!

This is my first windows phone that has had the hardware I like so I havent really done all the cooked and hacks etc..
Can you link me to this I would love to keep this phone.
Thanks!
I think I have read somewhere that you should give it a sec or 2 before you actually start typing the qwerty.
This way you will have the same window infront of you.
Regarding BT, that really sucks but still a one time thing if it's a headset and you do not pair devices every day...
But all in all, I think we shouldn't be worried.
This is just S/W ****ty bugs that will be fixed when we have our great chefs cook their 3rd or 4th ROM release we will have satisfying results.
I just hope this forum gets the attention that was on Kaiser, then we will all enjoy
I remember Kaiser's WM6 ROMs had a similar bug,
Comm Manager kept popping every now and then infront of you and was fixed in time...
We have to keep in mind that this is the start and we will have to be keen on all threads posted around.
I just hope we get all the help from the greatest devs at Diamond forum as it won't be alot different.
Differences in time will be known to chefs and as they cook a Diamond ROM they can add some stuff and release it to Raph as well.
Way ahead of myself aren't I
Alot to look forward to, which is the fun of WinMo IMO
Cheers
the other way of doing it is to wait until the reply screen is actually shown before you open the keyboard.
If i hit reply in TF3d and then immediately open the keyboard before the compose screen has appeared, then yes, it does exactly as you describe.
if i hit reply, and then open the keyboard AFTER the compose screen has appeared, no such problem.
you need to let the messaging app open before you open the keyboard, otherwise the opening of the keyboard triggers tf3D, not the messaging.
Minor bug, and one that will no doubt be fixed soon enough by the devs here.

I have tried this, it does not always work.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Help. It's not working.

Hi,
So, I've installed Manilla to my tilt. It looks great, it flows very nicely, and on the surface, I don't seem to have any problems. But, I'm having problems.
In the People tab, I can't add People. I can click, it highlights, then nothing happens. This seems to be the problem for some of the other tabs too.
Email and text work great.
Internet started working once I downloaded Opera, which is now working well.
Camera is fine too.
The music tab gives me an error message every time. "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play." This comes up, but I haven't tried to play anything, this happens everytime I accidentally click on this tab, which leads me to wondering if there's a way I can delete this tab.
The Weather tab doesn't work at all. I click menu, and add a location - nothing. I click add a location on the screen, and I get nothing.
Map Search works fine.
Settings - When I click on sync data, it takes me to the sync screen. When I click Communication, it takes me to the about screen. When I click Sounds, Wallpaper, or About, I get nothing.
Lastly, I have the same problem in Programs tab that I do in the People tab. I can't add any programs.
The programs I'm running are
SJ 2DManila 1_00_18192926_00.cab
XDA-Team_Manilla2D.cab
M2DC_v0.17.183.CAB
RRE_Manilla_1.4BETA.rar
M2DC_v0.21.213.CAB
Scotchua_Manila_Fix.cab
TF2D_Digital_Clock_with_Manila2D_Fix.cab
Seriously, I'm willing to have a phone call with someone to try and take care of this, anywhere in the world, I am willing to call.
Also, if someone thinks that the software they're running is better than the manilla stuff, I'm willing to give it a shot. I just really like the touchflo/iphone-ish feel.
Thanks,
I appreciate any help. And I know the answer to my problem is somewhere out there on either the ROM development or the Software sections, but I tried searching and just came up with too many hits.

First of all which ROM are you using Manilla with?
Post your question in the rom thread you are using, or one of the many preexisting manila threads. Thread closed.

Messaging on the Touch Pro 2

Hey, sorry if someone already made a thread on this, I wasn't sure what to search for to find out, but here it is:
On the TP2, and I'm sure everyone with this phone has noticed it, while viewing txts in conversation mode, if you leave the conversation open and recieved X amount of messages from that person, when you close out, it will still say you have X number of unread messages, and you have to open and close your conversation X number of times before it shows as no unread messages.
I'm hoping HTC makes a fix for this soon because it is really annoying, but I wanted to see if any of you very capable guys here can make a simple cab fix for it.
I've noticed similar problems and I think it's a bug in the TF3D interface unfortunately.
Holy cow, that was my biggest gripe. I just stopped going into the WM messaging and I use the tf3d instead (click on the first msg from the messaging tab) and stay in there. It works right.
I almost always use the TF3d interface and I still have go occasionally go back in and enter the message again to get the indicator to go away, even after I've responded!
Agreed I hate it. I am not using the HTC interface (went with SPB) but if I get messages and chat in the SMS window it will not mark them as read. I HATE IT!
I haven't tried using the TF3d to see if it works better. I always used the default WM home screen cause I like it better. But either way, yeah hoping they will fix it lol It did it on my TP also, but only after I installed the latest update. With it being on that and on this one, I almost wonder if it wasn't a glitch and maybe it is intentional idk
I have also noticed it too. My old touch pro did the same thing. I have noticed on the touch pro two it changes between two different styles of text messaging screens, it really messes me up because the send button ends up in different spots.
when you're on the sms thread and you're talking to person just use your arrow keys to go up towards the one you haven't read. it'll show a closed envelope to the left of the message and as you press up and pass them the envelope opens up. no need to open and close.
Yes from the SMS inbox that's fine, but from the TF3D interface which is easier to get to than the SMS inbox if you're running TF3D then sometimes you need to read it again.
I was hoping they fixed this in 6.5 but NOPE of course not. WHY THE HELL ARE THERE TWO MESSAGING PROGRAMS!?!?!

Exactly my question. I just disabled TF3D and use WM default I like it better. Plus you free up some resources.

You disabled ALL TF3D or just the SMS in TF3d?
I used SBP Mobile Shell as a replacement for a bit, but i had some problems with it too....Are there any other shells out there worth looking at that might correct some messaging issues?
On a somewhat related note, has anyone else noticed that some people you get text messages will be an hour behind? Like you recieve the txt at 5:30pm and it shows as 4:30pm? My TP did this also. I don't know if there is a setting or something...
dont know if yall figured this out but the second post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585101&highlight=mark+read has all your answers. I installed the program and works like a charm. i now have the "mark all as read" option FINALLY!!!!!!! that little orange baloon with the little number was driving me absolutley nutts.
So i have a USCellular TouchPro2 fresh out of the box....
Somehow its stuck showing 1 unread message in the SMS inbox...i have tried deleting every text from the system...installing the InboxExtender and using the mark all read option..the rogue (1) still appears....anything else i can try ??
Thanks
UPDATE --
US Cellular says its a know bug that they are working to resolve....no ETA for the patch of course.....

Try the fix unread message count. Copy to phone and run then reboot.
Hey, on this topic, how do I make it so my default sms is the windows version instead of the HTC one that?
Anyone have a cab for that or can help me for the 6.5 update VZ tp2?

+1 I wanna know this too except for the TMOUS version. I kinda hate the TF sms. Also has anyone noticed thatg when you type in a recipients name, it brings up ALL their numbers? My Tilt used to only show me mobile numbers for the recipient (which makes sense since land lines and faxes dont typically receive texts DDUUUHHH!!!) but i have on occasion sent a text to a friends home phone or fax!!
+2 I also would like to know if i can make WM my default SMS.

Manila Facebook Tab

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been asked and is a really obvious answer, but I've used the search function and I can find things saying "Yeah, great idea", but nothing that has actually been done to download and installed.
I've got an HTC HD2/Leo and I'm looking for a Facebook tab for the Sense/Manila 2.5 interface. A friend of mine said there is a mod available, but I just can't find it anywhere!
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks
never heard of it, but it sure will be nice to have it
only twitter tab
Never seen such a tab and dont know how effective it would really be..

I think it would be awesomely effective. I don't use twitter but I can totally see the benefit of the tab. I'd like to check my friends' updates like I check my text messages. The integration with my contacts is excellent, but I'm left craving more interaction. I'm still a little surprised that this hasn't been implemented before now by the OEM directly.
Anyway, add my +1 to this request. Snoogans.
I must confirm, that the first HD2 divice I had, really integrated FB in manila tabs. The second which I bought from T-mobile (after sending the first back as the second was better "deal"), unfortunatelly did not. Nor have any WM upgrade such tab involved since then. So I am also wandering if it would be possible to find it at least officially. And as e.g. the TV can be integrated in Manila (which is result of XDA inventions, I think it must be possible to solve the problem otherwise as well.
Thanks for help too.

Blocked email pictures

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to fix the blocked pictures in emails.
When i receive an email it automatically blocks downloading images or pictures which is bloody anoying.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks
1+ for this
any idea?
I've been looking in the registry for this option some time ago, but didn't find a fix...
Also NEED any solution. This annoyed me already back in WM6.1-times...
+1 really annoyed me for years!
me to...
Thank Mr Gates. This is a 'security' feature of WM. Unlucky, it appears to be a permanent part of the landscape.
PS Since when exactly did you think that you were responsible for what appears on your phone, think again... Micro$oft are. They don't want you contracting any nasty digital STDs on your beloved device.
Yes, this problem is more than annoying.
If only any developer could find a solution.
We need some 10 yrs old wizz kid to hack the world and maybe the HD2 email picture settings as well.
Any solution yet ?
As it is a problem for years now (back to WinCE), I think there won't be a solution. The only solution was buying a 3rd party e-mail-app.
