htc 3600i msging - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

i work for 3 and sjut upgraded to a htc3600i. i went to go write a text msg and down the bottom of the screen where u select how u want to write it ie keyboard,transcriber, i found that there was no phonepad option, i called htc tec support and they seem to think that that option has been disabled on WM6. now my question after all that is does anyone know if there is any 3rd party applictaions that can b downloaded, such as the phonepad, to make texting a little bit easier.
i hope this makes sense
thanks in advance

[FIXED] My First cab - T-Mobile UK customised threaded SMS

Yes, I've finally gotten around to looking into this whole cab making malarkey and while this is an existing one customised to fit my needs, it's a good learning curve
It's the palm threaded SMS app and it just plain rocks - really
So anyway, I've tested this on WM6 (Black 4) and it really works. Everything is already set up in this for using with T-Mobile and MMS works too! It integrates nicely with the HTC homescreen and includes a custom alert tone (hope you like it! )
Just to make sure the install goes OK, please use the task manager to stop the messaging \ poutlook \ tmail processes before you run the cab as I believe this could cause problems.
You will lose your existing SMS and MMS messages in the standard messaging app so if you want to keep them, use PIMBackup first
It's a fantastic app and I recommend giving it ago and if you're on T-Mob, I've just made it a little easier for you
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Good point! Nice work on the cab Lord but some reassurance would be fantastic
Service provider?
Have installed it and its quality. I can't send mms though. In the settings its set to cingular. I've got the tmob settings bar the centre number any ideas?

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/18/treo-750v-threaded-sms-mms-app-hacked-for-all/
looks like that
I'm looking at it now - I did test it on mine first but I think it probably kept the registry settings when I uninstalled it and re-installed it.
As for uninstalling...on my T-Mobile UK MDA Vario II, it uninstalled perfectly and everything reverted to the standard messaging app...BUT, as with anything like this, please don't just take the poster's word for it - use PIMBackup and and back it all up first!! It will most likely work OK, but...sh*t happens ;-)
Smiffy.
Thanks man. Your word is always good enough
OK, there were 2 places in the registry where the MMS settings were stored and I only changed 1 but it's sorted now (tested 3 times ;-)
And no, my word isn't good enough ;-) Back it up!! :-D
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Fixed and fantastic
Think this will quite possibly be the first cab i'll install after future flashes. Intelligent fuctionality.
Cheers Lordsmiff nice work
Forgot to say that when i uninstalled first version my old sms and mms were still there. When i reinstalled the new ones reappeared. Like lordsmiff says back up just in case but it didnt completely remove messages only temporarily when using the app.
You're right, it doesn't remove the old messages, it just uses a different message store but, at the risk of repeating myself ;-) back it up anyway
Which reminds me - if you want to reflash your device and then get all your threaded SMS messages back, you need to backup a file in the Windows folder called "PalmMsgV001" and also a folder in Windows called "MMS"
The file has all the text messages and stuff in and the folder has all the images etc from MMS messages in (I found that out the hard way )
Copy those two to your storage card and then back after a reflash to have everything back in threads
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Moved to rapidshare at mod's request
Anyone have any ideas where better to put it as I know some people (myself included) can't get them during working hours...damn those proxys
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Is it possible to install this threaded sms cab then alter the network settings by installing one of the available operator cabs or does the setting need to be entered manually?
Thanks.
i havent looked at lordsmiff's version... but if its anything like the ones i posted there is a possible issue of mms not working if you enter the settings manually... but his could be different...
There's not much chance of it being too different - it's based on your cab
If you want me to mod it for your provider, I can do that for you
Just PM me the connection details and I'll see what I can do
Cheers,
Smiffy.
i had another thought if you wanted to run with the idea.. i go back to work today so my time is going to be limited again.
The original version where based on the sprint connections, when i extracted all the files from the cingular treo rom and dumped the registry i compared them, i noticed all the reg settings were pretty much the same except for 2 lines and of course all the provider settings. But im thinking that if we left out the hard coded provider settings and allow the user to enter them manually that this may stop the "sometimes" apparent connection issues with MMS. So basically have a generic threaded cab with no provider settings hard coded at all... and if someone wanted to feel ambitious enough they could make cabs with just the hard coded reg settings for different providers (not the whole app)..
Hi!
Sounds great! Can it also be used for a other provider ? If yes; how do I know my settings ?
Does it show a alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

I really love this app and would like to go back to it. MMS has always worked for me when using shogunmarks version but I think its limited to 300k.
Since your offering lord would you make one for AT&T?
I linked the settings I would have just posted them here but didn't want to miss something so I linked the main page for you.

One thing everyone should know when using this app is if you use any kind of app that closes programs like HTC Task Manager for example you need to add the Palm Threaded app to the exclusive list so it does NOT close when pressing x.
What happens a lot of times is most people write their txt msg and just click the x but with the threaded you have to wait until the msg is actually sent.
So the app should be running most of the time..
Hi,
What about the new sms notify; does it show an alerts and integrates it good in the HTC Home Screen ?

SMS for TP2. Implementation and new ideas.

Sms functionality is very limited on TP2. Should we install some 3rd party program like Vito or implement our own?
Anyone? lets talk about it
limited? what's so limited aboot it?
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world but love my touch pro 2
Be more specific. What is klunky.
I will tell you what limited, in regular prog you cant delete individual msg, you dont see how many symbols you type and etc. SMS SUCKS at TP2.

cant delete individual msg? Turn off Threading (try reading the Tips and Tweaks thread)
Dont know how many symbols?? mine counts fine, ^ counts as 2 characters.. hmm.. IF by "regular prog" you mean in the TF3D reply window, then yah that doesnt have a counter.
Why do you need it to count text for?? If you need to type any more than 160chars, it will be sent as 2 messages.
anything else that you wanna consider as SUCK?
is this your first WinMo phone?
I personally don't like the TF3D SMS interface so I use good ol WM interface when I have a threaded message open. It shows in the taskbar how many characters you've typed & if you want to delete an individual message you just use the arrow keys & move to thw one you want to delete & choose the option in the menu.
Very oftently you dont see sent msg in TF3D, but you can see them in wm msg. IT sucks and very slow.
I have a deep and unabiding hatred for the TF3D SMS application, and I hope someone figures out a way to make clicking a message in TF3D go directly to the WM SMS app at some point.
anyone can resolve this issue?
i have an issue with hitting back (used to it being send) and i hate the send button because for me it is very laggy usually .. when i need to fire off a bunch of messages real quick the system almost freezes up ... not very productive and alot of times i cant tell if its sent or not because it takes to long to load my reply on the thread..
touch pro 2 sucks, most sluggish phone i ever worked with, i think i will sell it.

XT9 Bugg !!!

i have found a strange bugb on my tp2
the options of the XT9 is working on the keyboard input but not on the touch keyboard !!!
for the touch keyboard, all the options are On all the time ( spell correction and world completetion) even when u chose to uncheck them !!! but when u chose that they stop on the hardware keyboard

I think I speak for everyone when I say this: What?
Could you try explaining your problem again please? Concrete examples or screenshots would definitely help.
I think it's behaviour by design.
When you are typing on the keyboard, you don't want to take your hand off to tap on the screen to choose the words - it's much slower, and there is no spell correction, really, that's just word completion doing its job.
On the keyboard, it's speed typing all the way.

So simply, in the Xt9 setting there is 4 properties u can check them (v) or uncheck them
1- spell correction
2-World completion in xt9 mode
3-world completion in ABC mode
4- Auto-Substitution
i don't want the Auto substitute so i didn't check it
now when i use the keyboard with the xt9 every thing as it should
but when i the touch Full Qwerty its as if i didnt unckeck the Auto-Sub
its still working !!! furthermore if i tried to test it and even unckecked the world completion ..its still work in the touch Full Qwerty !! as if its not responding to what ever i chose while the actual hardwear keyboard follow whatever option in the xt9 i chose

So u mean i cant stop the Auto-substitue while taping the sms using
the XT9?
ok any way I have another problem and since the seniors r here i hope u can help me with it ..casue its more imp for me that the Xt9
its the TF sms
when i receive sms and i tap it in the TF to reply
it bring me the thread mode in TF mode also
in that screen there is menu from it u can message option
inside it is a request for delivery report
if u check it (v) its not permanent !!
if u go out and back again to that window u will find it unchecked
so to have delivery report using the TF thread mode i must check that every time i reply sms ??????
sure when i reply using the windows interface the delivery report comes normaly ( i stoped threading sms in windows using the Advanced Config)
is there a solution for that ?
some times even when i check it to have a delivery report it say sms can not be sent !!!!
samarrai said:

There is no auto-substitute, at least not like on the iPhone. There is word suggestion function and before you finish typing the word (say, with typo error), you can tap on the suggested word to enter it, but if you finish typing the typo and you press [space], it does not replace typo with the correct word.

but my friend, when i press space it dose replace the typo with the 2nd word he is suggesting
which allot of time i do want the typo
(thats why i wanted to uncheck the Auto-correction)
ok here is another thing i found when i disabled the TF
in the contact list using the TF, when u select a name and then go back to the contact list ..it bring u from the start of the list
while in the normal contact list without the TF, as in my old tytn when u go back from editing a name or even checking its data to the contact list
u go back to that name in the list , not to the top of the list
also the fact that i can't change the soft key in the TF , and the fixed icons in the start list which can't even moved to a lower position all those r another silly things i find in the TF
i wish there is a solution for that beautiful interface buggs
no one can help yet ?

Contact manger app & manila?

Seems the TP2 (stock roms, touch flo enabled) uses some new contact manager app?
So is there a way to make manila use the gold old WM6 contacts instead of the one it uses by default?
Please, Im not the only person looking for this.
I have been looking in HKLM-software-htc-manila and cant find anything yet. but there surely is a way to point the manila to the older type contacts app?
thanks
PS this is for us people who use this more business setting I guess. (or are old like me and dont like change?) Anyway, I have contacts grouped by Company, which is handy as hell & I dont need facebook. Please help us.
My solution would be that you start to make a call, hit green call button, hit the "contacts" soft button or whatever at the bottom, which would open the older type contacts, just like you had clicked on Start-All programs-contacts.
Thanks in Advance for any help or hints...
I have a real problem with the contact manager that this phone offers, i had to remap the button to bring the up other version , but still sucks for business use..so i loaded Pocket informant which helps but with out aD pad it is not as easy to use...got to find a solution for this, love the phone but one handed usage is very important and may drive me back to my old Tilt

[Q] worst dialer ever?

Hi everybody!
I just got a neo 3, and well.... it is big hehe. also I understand that having to use both hands is a giving for many things but come on, also the dialer?.
I activated the one handed operation and it does help, but the issue that doesn't remember the most dialer contacts (so it can prioritize when start dialing) and that you have to go to the top of the phone to change between keypad, Logs, favorites and contacts (you can't even swipe to change between them) is a pain!.
so, what do you do? do you install another dialer software?
any comments will be appreciated!
regards
Ricardo
