is there an application that makes the BA able to add contacts from an sms message the way nokia phones do? i know this function exists in O2 plus but that lacks a lot of functionality.all youre able to do is add a first and last name. what could be much more functional would be something that opens up your default contacts PIM and lets you add all the details you need to add. anyone?

hi, after using my Qtek s200, i was totally used to the WM 5.0 calendar. especially the week view. now with my Touch HD i stumbled against a few changes in the WM 6.1 calendar. my biggest problem with the 6.1 calendar is that i cannot drag the meetings in week view. in wm 5.0 i could drag the calendar items. the second problem is that when i tap a meeting, the calendar jumps directly to a useless almost blank screen with the option to primary delete or edit the meeting. In WM5.0, week view, when i tapped on a meeting i would get a little screen popup at the bottom with the meeting details which i could tap to directly go to the meeting editing screen. i couldn't find anyone else with the same findings on the forum. i think most of you just get rid of the standard calendar and install thumbcal . does anyone have a solution to get back to the old wm 5.0 calendar options?
Hi all
I recently upgraded my ROM to the latest EUR WWE ROM (1.19.401.1) and applied the SMS Hotfix. I don't know if it's related but I've now got a problem with the SMS application which is part of TF3D. Basically, Text Messages that I have received are either truncated in the TF3D Messages View, or are simply not displayed at all, i.e. when I tap on the message in the TF3D Messages tab, I get the relevant contact card, on the messages tab, but with no messages displayed, or like the screenshot attached.
If anybody can suggest a cause and/or a solution to this problem I would be very grateful!
Thanks

Font substitution problem
Hi all
I have realised that this problem related to the substitution of the font for one which needs a higher "row height" than that which is normally used by the regular M3D font as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539091
Does anybody know how to increase the row height in the M3D 2.1 messages page as well as in the messages page in a contact and when launced by tapping on the message displayed in the messages page.
Many thanks

Now I know touchFlo 3D isn't customizable (yet), but there are many difference's between the versions 2.1 and 2.5.
So what should TouchFlo 3D have? Since my immagination isn't so great and to keep it realistic my preferred version is a combination of what is available today:
Start screen with weather and apps/contact/bookmark/widget list like in TF3D 2.5.
The Contact list from the 2.5 version. Scrolling through you favorite contacts in the 2.1 version just isn't convinient.
The same message tab, but the message application from the 2.1 version. The 2.5 version has the option to instantly change you message in a mms. Also adding the contact you want to send it to isn't convinient. It comes up with email adresses. If I wanted to send an email I would have picked: write email. NExt to that the 2.5 version is slow when it comes to text messaging. (ofcourse the 2.5 version isn't ready yet).
Email as it is with both version. (in the email app, they should delete the wiping feature, because scrolling sideways is irritating have to press the "enable scrolling" text). Just put the option go to next/prvious message in the menu.
Calander app as in version 2.5. I noticed I didn't even use the other calander views then month and day, but the agenda view sometimes did came inhandy.
The internet tab should be as in 2.5, where you can see the preload pages, but it should work with opera. As nowe I am able to set opera as default, but the preload pages still don't work.
The weather tab is ok. I'd like to tap on the sepperate days and see the morning, day, evening forecast.
The music tab in 2.5 is great. The same for the media (video and pics) tab. But it's all just a bit to sloppy. It should be really fast to be convinient.
The stock tab, for me I don't use it. But it seems ok to me.
Ofcourse this all should work in landscape. 2.5 doesn't work very well in landscape.
One more feature I would like to build in is an easy way to make apps like twitter/facebook/gps navigation/office/messenger work withing TF3D. Each with individual tabs. Maybe you get to much tabs, but then there should be a way to make a second layer with apps. Like a messaging tab. When you slided over there a new slider comes a available with the general slider minimizing. There you can slide between skype/msn messenger/ twitter etc.
This would require a lot of memory though.
So what do you think?
What would make touchflo better? What features should be added?
the worst shortcoming of touchflo3d is that its desktop cannot be cusomized.
this is very pitty indeed,those designers are dumb....
I like your tab within tab idea. It would be great to have a PIM tab. Inside would be sub-tabs for calendar, tasks and notes. Probably just wishful thinking though. But anyway, I'm not terribly bothered with what we've got so far.
Aside from those 2 things, what else is missing from WP7? And what in your opinion should be put in future updates? And do you think those things you want will make it?
Finally what do you think of WP7 as a whole compared to Android and iOS? (specifically Android since thats what I know the most)
Thanks in Advance.
Tethering, and using the phone as a Mass Storage device are also missing, a file explorer...even if its just to manage files we download from the web or something, and tethering was somewhat confirmed by microsoft but i dont know the likelihood of mass storage id like it to come in the future but who knows...
yeah I want the mass storage so badly
of course we can make it with some changes in Registry but I think WP7 should make it enable in the next update
Sync multiple but not only the main calendar of an account
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Tethering works on my wife's Focus & on my LG Quantum, but you need to unlock it yourself using the phone manufacturer's diagnostics menus.
But what I'm really missing is the ability to do real socket programming, so you could do stuff like rdp, true streaming media players, etc...
"living in the cloud" is flawed when you can't use socket programming for true network access ( what the "cloud" is all about )
Probably more exchange features.
OPEN API.......... you should see the different in between android and wp7 barcode or QR scanning.... wait for one year else will change to android....

IMO:
- Zune easy sync of all supported files: adding all the office files
- Bluetooth send/receive at least for supported files
- Email - ability to add WHATEVER I want to attachement, so also docs, videos etc. IfI want to send 3 docs I have to send 3 emails, this is ridiculous
- App for easy download/upload with SkyDrive lol, like Photobucket
- Internet tethering
- Copy and paste absolutely system wide!
- Universal device search
- Navi arrows on keyboard
- Absolutely more features in Word, which is nice to have but is ridiculously limited to a crazy level.

This has to be one of the best 'wish' lists I've seen on here, it wasn't filled with idiocy, hate, or pure ignorance and definitely reflected the direction Microsoft is trying to take, I applaud you for that... Especially with the "supported files" addition... One of the few posts that doesn't revolve around "I can't access any file, registry edit, or system entry to screw up my device so this sucks!"...
I agree with this list, I'd also add more integration features into the People Hub

Adding to this excellent wish list
- Custom Ringtones
- A smart dialer (Like Dialer one from Android)
- GPS navigation
- Threaded email messaging
duplicate post

universal clipboard
file explorer, with cut, copy, paste of files (is this enabled on the touchexplorer?)
smart dial
ability to DISABLE threaded sms
usb storage mode
full outlook support
1 very important function for me....
ability to import sms messages from wm6.5

Copy and paste text.
Preview of back button stack.
Socekts.
Battery api.
Camera – movie api.
Silverlight integration with XNA.
Exposed MAC address of WIFI.
Tile tap and hold option to unintall the app.
+1 for most of the items listed prior, but would like to add:
- option to increase fonts especially text messaging.
- option to get rid of the "bubble/msg boxes" in text msg app; e.g., black background with cyan and white text
- text reflow when zooming in on web-browser and email (vs. scrolling left<->right to read text)
- phone button that takes me directly to dialer ( i know, i'm probably dreaming)
- option to tap and dial or email contact from within txt msg app and email apps (similar to Android)
- integrated inbox (with threaded messaging)
- navigation app (similar to google navigation or co-pilot)
A quick way to close all running applications.
Perhaps by holding down the back arrow for an extended period of time will bring up a notification asking you to close all the apps.
Or what if, you where to hold down back arrow as before but the notification allowed you to see all running apps and close them individually or all at once?
Possible?
I have attached some images of what it could look like.
Other ideas.
Side ways view using the accelerometers on the home screen. (2 versions attached)
Zune controls on the home screen that follow you down as you scroll. This would also be there on the app menu to the right. (attached)
One that i have just realized.
I dont think you can send music files over bluetooth.
This would be a nice addition.
...but may be to do with copyright as usual. =/
