In WM6, when I had several new text messages I could do the following:
1. Go into Text Messages
2. Read the first new message.
3. On the navigation buttons i could push the "left" button and the "right" button to go back and forth between messages.
The above steps no longer work with the ROM I downloaded from this forum (WM6.1 080408 Final For Excalibur WWE with English - By Kavana). I did download and install the eT9 fix already.
Thanks!

Are you using threaded messaging or the old email style messaging? One of the best things about 6.1 is that you can use threaded messaging. To enable it, go to start - settings - accessibility - SMS Inbox threading and enable it. After that make sure to actually close the messaging app, or if you prefer restart the phone. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it makes texting so much better imo and makes switching between messages the old fashioned way irrelevant.
Yes, I am using threaded messaging. However sometimes I get messages from more than one person -- or I get alerts for work and I need to scroll through them all. It would be nice to be able to navigate to the next message with one button rather than three.
Then turn off threading messages.
Should work the old fashion way.

Anyone know of a Threaded SMS program that actually works on WM6 with our model of smartphone? I've tried numerous programs and actually got "Palms Threaded SMS" to work, but the font is way too small and the back button can never get me back to the main screen. I'm constantly stuck in whatever thread is open.
Try this SMS Chat app
Installed fine. Program runs great, but my SMS messages are still coming through the default DASH Message Inbox. They go out fine through the SMS Threader, but won't come in. I'm using WM6, but the page says it works with WM6. Please help!
I had a threaded application that also came with a soft key , but it took up too much memory, so i just downloaded extreme text yesterday. This program is pretty good so far, but it isnt integrated wit the factory texting system, which means I will have unthreaded messages if i open the stock texting program, So i will have to open extreme text everytime i want to see my threaded text. . I dont have a problem with this , but extreme text doesnt disable the message sent notification and its not free.
Can any of you guys recommend a better threaded texting application, preferrebly a free one with a today plug in?? HELP
Search for the "palm threaded sms" in the forums. Some people have probs with it but so far on my hermes its been really good for me.
I have the read others thread about the touchflo counter being off but my problem a a bit different. Along with that issue the touchflo counter,the counter within the text app itself is not resetting. In the past with my wing if I replied to someone the new text notifcation goes away but not with my tmobile tp2. Instead it registers their messages & my replies as unread. If I exit out of the app & go back to our "conversation" it doesnt take to the newest one from me/them but to the older part of the convo.
Edit: Only work possible work around seems to be going unthreaded or a text app such as etreme text. I havent found any real aternative text app. Ive tried different version of the arcsoft txt cabs but same results which leads to to believe its a winmo issue.
go to the conversation that shows unread messages & then scroll through all the texts with the arrows on the keyboard. look for the bolded messages, they are the unread ones. once you select them with the arrow keys they'll register as read.
i hate this issue too. if you have the damn threaded message open & are replying the the messages, it should just mark them as read.
god I hate this so much!!! I keep all my texts... often they contain information I need. But like this its pretty inconvenient. There's got to be some kind of reg mod to fix this thing...
I spent the last hour searching for an answer before posting.
I'm using the NRG Titanium ROM with the native Arcsoft messaging (Windows) instead of the newer (and less user friendly) HTC messaging client but I had this problem in the stock ROM as well.
When a new sms message comes, I get the popup window. When I choose reply, the message window pops up briefly at full screen, then the on-screen keyboard pops up just like I want it to because I have "keyboardautodeploy" set to come up.
But then immediately it disappears and the message window comes back to full screen. Now I need to press on the keyboard icon for it to come up and then I have to touch in the text box to get the cursor back in focus.
I really don't understand why it does this. It does not do this on the email side and as far as I can tell the two are somehow integrated. Is there a registry setting in the SMS side that is telling it to open the messages in full screen which is conflicting with the autodeploy of the keyboard? It does not do this when i return to messages that I have already replied to, just new messages when they come in.
And no. I will not go to the HTC messaging client. It is a nightmare to use compared to the older arcsoft messaging client.
HTC Rhodium AT&T
NRG Titanium
Mobile Shell 3.5
no answers on this one?
i believe that the keyboard goes away because the Window focus suddenly goes to the top iframe of the messaging client, the keyboard will only auto deploy when the window focus is on an input area. Fix? no clue, sounds like a System issue, you dont want the htc messaging client, but thats what I use, and i have had no issues with it(just sayin)
Hi...
There are a few things missing on stock app sms. One is the option for stop auto coverting sms in mms after 5sms's long, as you can read it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100920
google it, and find this is a problem from back versions till now:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2318
Other missing options are:
- Make a phone call from sms (if I get a sms from someone saying me "Call me please", I have to exit sms, go to contacts, search for it, and make the phone call)
- Save contact from unknown number (if someone send me an sms "This is my number", I cannot save directly from sms list... again, must write it down, exit sms, go to contacts, and add a new one)
Its simple things and liked to know if its possible to change and add this little options in stock sms app. I like the stock app sms... its simple, quick and usefull, but missing little things ruin it..
Thanks in advance
