SMS with WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Does anyone has experienced the disappearing of SMS window while writing a message ?
This happens all WM6 ROM's.

I find the device sometimes kicks back to today screen when I select new sms...but pressing messaging button takes you to new message.

yeah i've had the kickback to the today screen as well, just a minor annoyance.
one thing that's been happening since WM5 is when i hit the messaging button, the top and bottom bar show the "messaging" title and the appropriate buttons on the bottom but the main part of the screen does not change.
know what i'm talkin about?

yes I've noticed the issue with the main window not updating to match the title and button bars.

My little fix for it is to open the phone, let it go to landscape mode and then close it and to let it get back to portrait... it should appear after that.

This start happening to me last night... its annoying the **** out of me!!

question about navigation in messaging app

hi there.
i have been playing around with my orbit trying to work out how to do this, without success - must be a way, simple probably. perhaps somebody can advise?
when viewing a message deep within a long list of messages, how can i get back to the message title list? on my old imate jam i could hold down the dpad to page scroll reasonable quickly back to the first message, and from there to the message list. on the orbit i can roll the trackball to the left to do this, but its going to be a long way back through ~500 message. hitting the ok button gives an error message and hitting the red button closes the whole app - starting again brings me back to the same message, not the title list.
anyone cleverer than me work out how to do this?
thanks for any help

SMS Text Box Bug

I've searched, but couldn't find anything about this.
When I open the keyboard when replying to a text message sometimes the text reply box partially disappears off the bottom of the screen and you can only see the top line. Annoyingly it stays like this until I soft reset.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
I've had this same error since WM 5, through 6.1, and still on 6.5. I was very disappointing to see this bug was not fixed, its such a stupid problem.
It's not a fix but instead of soft reseting just push the keyboard icon on the screen to bring up the keyboard, then push it again and the size will adjust
I don't know if this is the same issue i get from time to time but what happens on mine is that i am able to see at lease part of the field when i input my text but when it goes past that one line it doesn't automatically scroll down so i don't know what i am typing anymore. what i do when that happens is that i go to my task manager and I stop the text messaging; when i bring it back up it is back to normal.
I get all kinds of weird things that happen in the landscape txt screen. YOur problems, and sometimes the right half of the screen will go spastic and show an inverted, backwards, distorted, partial view of the contact photo. Or the right half of the screen will look, well, scrambled, for lack of better description...
Sometimes just tapping in the entry box will fix it.
Other times I will switch to landscape, start to type on the HW keyboard only to find that it only registered the first few characters of what I wrote. I then have to tap the entry area before starting to type again

Is there a way to disable the on-screen keyboard from auto-opening?..Seems like that would resolve the issue.

I've had the exact same issue since getting my Tytn II when it very first came out, on the official software Orange and on my new TP2 with NRG's Photon Rom running 6.5. I can confirm that flicking the on screen keyboard on and then off rectifies the problem everytime. I don't know what causes the issue and it doesn't happen with every message a slight annoyance but opening and closing the on screen keyboard is better then soft resetting

Few issues with my Verizon TP2..

Ok, I've had my TP2 for a couple of weeks now and I love it, but there are a few things I wanna get addressed and possibly fixed.
First things first, my phone was originally bought brand new from Verizon. It is now fully flashed to CricKet.
The first thing I wanna know is if there is a way to disable the built in HTC messaging interface. I'm fine with the older style of messaging (like that of the TouchPro 1). The HTC messaging seems slow and sluggish, and aside from accidentally clicking on the text message, I never use it. (Pics 1-4)
Secondly. After texting a message and pressing send, if I hit OK at the top right hand corner, it goes out and back to all my messages and usually hangs for about 40 seconds before I can do anything. Nothing will work. If I hit the end/home hard key, it will just beep, light up, but do nothing. I know when it hangs because it leaves a small part of the message at the top. (See top of pic 5)
Lastly. If I have my phone at the home screen and I get a text message my keyboard opens up on the home screen. Is there a fix or setting for this? Yes, I do have Swype (from the OmniaII), but this was a problem before swype, so I have eliminated Swype as a culprit. (See pic 6)
Oh and I'm running windows 6.5 professional
anyone? help?
This cab may disable the HTC SMS module for you...there's a couple of cabs that can do that (some work with some ROMs), this is the only one I happen to have handy. If it doesn't work for you, you can find others just by searching "disable HTC sms cab"
The attached worked for my keyboard, but mine was only appearing in txt messages, not on the home screen like yours.
I experience that same text at the top of the screen, but mine only lasts for seconds at most. I just reset my phone a couple days back so I only have a couple hundred messages, but even with a couple months worth I never had to wait that long. What are your running ram %s?
Whats the exact ROM you are using?

Issue with SMS

When I try to respond to a received SMS, sometimes I don't get a cursor to be able to start typing. I have to close the messaging tab and reopen it and then usually the cursor appears. Does anyone else have this issue.
if your using sense, then yes i have the same problem. maybe. if your keyboard is already out when you open the message it wont have a curser. all you have to do is tap the white box where yo type and it SHOULD be fine
It's more serious than that for me.
Sometimes the area where you are supposed to type is shrunk down to about half it's normal height, the messaging app doesn't scroll down to the most recent message in the thread, and there is no cursor to start typing. I'm using the stock at&t rom minus the bloat. I love this phone except this one quirk. I mostly use my phone for texting and every other time I receive a text it seems like I have to close out and reopen it. Very annoying problem.

Not to throw my 2c in but I just realized something on my Tilt2 when a msg txt comes in for me to reply to I dont get a cursor in the box either, but you can start typing without tapping the box or waiting for the cursor.
Recently been playing around with the MAX MANILLA rom just installed a few days ago. Tried playing around with my registry learning to fix some problems.
Usually I txt through TOUCH FLO 3D and the problem is. If i was to send a txt message, it won't show up on the screen, I would have to refresh my screen to another section and come back to see my txt message.
Any tweaking suggestions?
Thanks.

Problem when texting (jumps to top of conversation time after time)

Hello people,
I have a problem when texting with my desire and it's this annoying i think of selling it if no-one has a solution for this.
The problem is when typing a textmessage to someone. When i have like a bigger conversation (in the way that you have to scroll up to see the first textmessage of the conversation) and i'm busy typing the message, the phone would suddenly jump up to the very top of the conversation. The keyboard dissappears and i have to manually scroll down the whole conversation again to be back at the screen where i was writing the message in to continue typing.
It's very annoying and sometime's it happens like 3 times typing one textmessage.
If the conversation is rather big (take 200 textmessages) i'm more busy scrolling than typing. Quite silly for a highend phone.
I flashed, flashed, flashed, full wiped everything over again and the problem just doesn't disappear.
Someone noticed this too?
I also suffer from this annoying issue from time to time. It would be great if somebody could help us!

Since Froyo/Android 2.2;
Sometimes when writing SMS, the typing window can disappear and the display zooms all the way up to the very first message to that contact.
You could scroll back down endlessly of course, but instead just turn the phone to change the screen orientation and you'll get straight back to the text entry window.
SOMEtimes even that doesn't work, in which case menu/add subject. That'll get you back to the text entry window for sure. (Obviously don't actually enter a subject or it'll change the message to an MMS)

Also you can just hold down the Menu button and it will open the keyboard and go back to the bottom of the messages
