Finger trouble browsing emails - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I'm having problems scrolling through emails using Touchflo. I have 32 unread messages, but when I try swiping upwards or downwards on the envelope nothing happens - except I usually accidentally open the currently displayed message. What's the trick to scrolling through messages, and is there a list view which I can use instead?

I agree it can be a bit fiddly but a quick swipe seems to work best. Better still just press the inbox button on the bottom left and it will take you to the normal windows list of emails.

scrape up/down ON the envelope to scroll through messgaes. Click/scrape on the bit of the message you see to view the full message.

Unread mail icon in topbar

I'm using Ricky's ROM with topbar, and I can't seem to get rid of the unread mail icon near the top left. When I look at the sliding panel that has missed calls, voicemails, unread emails, etc - they all say 0, but the icon won't go away. Something I'm doing wrong?

I get this sometimes as well. If you know what app created the icon (Outlook, TXT message, 3rd party email, etc), then you just need to click on it and then perhaps click on the message again (even if it is read). It *should* disappear after that.
You HAVE unread messages somewhere Double check....
Whenever you reboot your phone or turn it off and on, refresh the screen, whatever, it will not display any numbers or info next to your missed calls or messages. It is something stupid about the system. It doesn't keep track in a good way of missed calls or what not, but then again, I can't think of any phone that does this well. Most phones that have this type of setup where it displays your messages or missed calls in a panel, don't have the ability to save that info once the phone has been rebooted.
I know this happens to me, it's just the way things are. You just have to roll with the punches. Sorry.
If you are running CHomeWeather, when it updates the plugin, it reloads your homescreen, so this might be what's causing you this problem.
Sorry to jump into your thread with a question, but I've just bought my dash, and already enjoying v23.
my question is what is the 'E'? (is it email? how to get rid of it) and anyway to disable to up-down arrow in the top center?

Yes, you did. The "E" is for the Edge network ("G" is for GPRS.) The up/down arrow is for the JOGGR scrolling feature. You can disable it in the JOGGR settings.

it seems to be a threading glitch.
viewing the message sometimes doesnt reset the notification icon.
As stated above, quickly click on the text message feature in the panel and quickly followed by the end key. WOrks for me.

home screen shows no new messages

I hope this is a new question, I did search and didnt find anything in excalibur. I have kavana rom 6.1 with sliding pannels home screen and threaded text messages. the problem is if I get more than one text or a text and an Email, then only read one, that leaves me with one unread message. but when I go back to the home screen it shows that I have no new messages. even showing no messages I get the 15 min reminder and have to go through each folder to find the unread message. This only hapens if I leave the home screen and go to messages and back to home screen. new messages do show up on the home screen when they arrive. but not after leaving one in any folder (email, mms, sms)

The notifications on sms, email, and mms dissapear when you open the folder, even if you have 2 new text messages, but only read one, and go back to homescreen , it will show no text messages on the homescreen. Same with email and mms, the moment you open the folder(email,mms,sms) and go back to homescreen, it will clear the notifications.

It appears to clear the notifications but if I leave one unread it still alerts me every 15 mins. The first time it happend it took me a while to figure out why i was getting the 15 min reminder.
also if you power off and back on while I have a message, it shows the new message icon at the top (envelope) but no messages in the sliding home screen.

Things I miss about my iPhone and BB...

...or maybe I'm too much of a noob to know how to do it in Android.
I'm on NardRom 0.2...
ALL NOTIFICATIONS: The BB had this screen which gave you a full history of every action, whether its an SMS you've received, an email you've sent, an app you've installed. It's a one page with everything (and its not threaded). In the Android notification screen, you see that you've gotten 6 emails, but it does not show them separately. Also, it does not show emails that you have sent.
MAGNIFYING GLASS: In the iOS when you have typed a word, you can hold down the screen and wait for the magnifying glass that helps you move exactly to the letter you want to change.
RECONFIGURE BUTTONS: The hard buttons (capacative I think they're called). I want to configure them for when I press them once as well as holding them down.
CLEAR FIELD: In the BB, you can just click on a field and then clear it all out.
LOCK: The screen locks itself and you have to do a bit of a drag to unlock. This can get tedious. I get the need for the pattern security feature but its probably not necessary to drag unlock every time I switch on the phone.
TAP TO TOP: On the iPhone, you can click the time status bar on the top and it scrolls all the way to the top of the page.
If you now of an alternate way to do this, it would be really great to know!

Instead of the magnifying glass, we have a little blue handle. Tap roughly where you want the cursor and it should show up below the text, and you can drag it wherever you want it. I attached a pic to clarify. To clear a text field, you can always long-press it and cut the text, though that's not the best solution it certainly beats holding backspace.
You can change the lock screen to be a simple slide to unlock, similar to the iphone, or even no unlock screen, where tapping the power button unlocks the device. It's in settings > security > screen lock. Additionally, if you're using the phone and the screen turns off while your reading something, if you tap the power button relatively quickly, it will unlock without any unlock screen.
You do realize that the little magnifying glass and tap to top would certainly cause moar patent trolling from apple, right?
Also, I'm pretty sure you can get detailed notifications on Android too, but there must be a reason no one has come up with it just yet. My guess: it's because we're OK with our notifications as they are.
On ics I see my emails separately on the notification screen.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
I miss having to ssh files onto my iPhone because I couldn't mount it as a drive
I miss having to trick my iPhone into accepting custom notification tones
I miss having to bend over backwards to hack a single neutered widget onto my homescreen
I miss having to spawn a billion blank icons to arrange my icons the way I wanted them (I.e. not upper left justified)
I miss having to go to a centralized settings app to change app settings
There's probably more. I just miss my iPhone 3G so darn much.

Assuming you're using the gmail app, open it up, click menu > settings. Go to your account, Ringtone & Vibrate, and uncheck the notify once box. Back out one menu, go to Manage labels. Click on each label you want to receive individual email notifications for, and uncheck the notify once box there as well. You'll now have individual notifications for every email, instead of just a counter when you have more than one.
You can also set Sent mails to sync here, however it won't show them as notifications as sent mails are automatically marked as read. Still, this means if you don't have a data connection you can browse through all of your recent sent mails. If you're frequently without data and need to view previous mails, change the number of days to sync to something larger than the default, which I believe is 3 day. I use 30 days, personally.
I don't use the other email app for non-gmail, but I'd assume it would have a similar setting for notifications. It's not a complete notification history, but sounds like it's one step closer to what you want for your email.

Can't "swipe up" on Messenger to reply

So guys and girls after going from AW 1.5 to 2.0 I was curious to try the built in reply function.
But when I receive a message on fb messenger and go all the way down and try swiping up nothing happens. I have the arrow that indicates i should do that but its not working for some reason.
Is that the same for you all? Does this function work for fb msnger?
you tap on the notification, for google messages it gives me smart replies but for other apps like textra just the old options mic, keyboard and emojies
Yeah I tap and it even shows the little arrow at the bottom of the screen indicating "swipe up" but swiping up doesn't do anything (nor does tapping etc)
