Reply messages SMS doesn't auto-capitalise? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey,
When I start a new SMS from "new SMS" it's fine but when I reply to SMS', the first alphabet of each sentance doesn't automatically become a capital letter... anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: This is with predictive text off.

I presume it has gone into the Manila part of replying, which unfortunately doesn't support the auto capitalism of letters.
Its only the pOutlook software that supports this and as far as I'm aware, there is no way of being able to change it either, sorry.

As nicelad put it, Manila doesn't support it. Text entry standard can be set by doing this:
Settings > Input > 'Options' tab
Tick 'Capitalize first letter of sentence'.

WM6 Default Messaging Path?

I've looked and looked, and searched...I guess I'm missing it. Does anyone knoe the default path for the Messaging "app" in wm6 for my launcher? I'd like to be brought to the screen where I can choose the account to send from. Thanks in Advance!
*bump* - Anyone?
If I'm posting a dumb question that's answered elsewhere just let me know that...
*oops...double post...*
FWIW, you SHOULD be able to use the topmost left button (with the envelope on it) to access the screen you're describing in one easy step. You should also be able to find it in the Start Menu, listed as Messaging.
Shortcuts in my version (Custel 2.5) show the executable as MSINBOX, but that's not an application name ... just a system label, of sorts. Maybe somebody else can id the actual file for you.
-pvs
im confused by what your asking - you want it to, when you open Messaging, to give you the choice of which account?
Menu > Tools > Options > CHECK: Display account picker when opening messaging
and once youve opened it, hit the left and right, or keep tapping messaging to cycle through accounts - and the account is displayed in the top left taskbar
if thats not what you were asking, elaborate on what youre looking for and ill give my inputt

Not sure about the account selection screen, but for exec and command line options: \windows\tmail.exe -service, -cc, -bcc, -transport, -to, -subject, -body, -attach
eg. "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -subject "" -body ""
If you just open messages, it will open the account selector. SO just find the shortcut for that (which is in Windows and the exe is tmail.exe) then it should go there. Good luck!

\windows\tmail.exe for the win!!! Thanks everyone Guess I should have explained I was looking for the executable name as opposed to the path...
thx again!

Text Messaging softkeys after change to WM6

With WM5, the softkeys were
Left softkey: New (text message)
Right softkey: Menu
after upgrading my Cingular 8525 to WM6 it is not that useful:
Left softkey: Delete
Right softkey: Menu
In effect, to create a new message I need to select Menu and then New.
Is it possible to assign New to the left softkey?

Nope, not if your talking about in the messages screen. You can, however, set a soft key on the today screen to New SMS.
this has been a problem since the leak of WM6, search around, can't remember if theres a solution or not because it doesn't bother me that much, most of the time i'm replying to texts.
Take a look here, and here.

Thanks for a quick answer. I have no idea why Microsoft decided that the typical action when going to Text Messages would be to delete a message and not write a new message. You may store hundreds of messages without noticing a dent in the available memory.
How to create a shortcut from the Today screen to New SMS or reassining one of the softkeys to this function?

Use softkey changer (attached). If it gives you the error "missing file tnsms" then drop the attached corresponding file in ur /windows folder.
Kiitos Karhu and thanks mcorrie1121. I will test your solutions.
The SoftKey.cab from the link in Karhu's post is the only thing needed. One item on the list of commands to assign to a softkey on the Today screen is "New SMS". Works perfectly.
If you do not mind one more tap you can also use WM5 New Menu - provides more options than just new SMS.

Select - delete all sms by drag down?

Hello
On my qtek 9000 and on my HTC PRO i was able to drag down my stylus, starting with the first msg i want to delete and highlighting all the messages as i drag downwards. Then click "delete" and delete all sms at once
In my HTC PRO2, there is no option to select all messages by drag down
only 1 message can be selected at once.
I noticed this behavior also in some HTC PRO ROMS, so i suppose there must be a registry value that allows or disallows selecting all sms at once by draging down
Is anyone aware of this?
I will appreciate any help, since i need to delete about 500 sms every day
Thank you
Best way is to slide the device open, hold the CTRL key down, and click each message you wish to delete.
Laborious I know

go to:
inbox / menu / select messages / all or all below or various
just translated from german menu, options could be named a little bit different

No, that's pretty darned accurate!! Mine is UK Vodafone version and says All/ All below/ several when you choose Select Messages from Menu. Easy peasy
Thanks
I know that
I also have found InboxExtender.CAB helps a lot (Deletes all messages with one click)
But why is scroll down selection disabled in some ROMS?
Can you select and highlight messages by scroll- drug down?

It's so that you can actually scroll with your fingers. For how much I scroll through messages and how little I select multiple messages, I'm happy. But, you can't please everyone.

Setting T9 instead of XT9

On my Kaiser I always set word correction to be T9 (pop up list of suggestions) rather than XT9.
I did the change using advanced config utility. The advanced config utility I have for the TP2 does not have this feature.
Who know how to adjust the registry to enable T9 instead of XT9?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here goes...
Go to "Settings" tab in TF3D
Tap "All Settings"
Go to "Personal" tab
Tap "Input"
With "Touch Input" selected, tap "Options..."
Go to "XT9 Settings" tab
Uncheck "Auto-Substitution"

Thanks for the reply but that's not it.
In XT9 the default, word suggestions appear in a row across the screen.
In T9 the word suggestions appear in a pop up block on the screen.

I think the answer to your question is found in the thread:

I'm not very sure as I don't know what the T9 is supposed to look like...

T9 is a text predictive input method found mostly on mobile phones, where you use numeric keys to enter letters (hence the letters on each key) and the software predicts the word by the sequence in which you press the keys. This input method is present on my Dopod D810.
The word completion function being discussed is not a part of T9, but a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile feature that has always been present on PPC devices (way before these PDA convergence phones) but has been replaced by HTC to give a different behaviour and appearance.
I think I have the problem figured.
Once you do the reg tweaks T9 pop up word suggestion works great until you try and do a new contact.
When you move from a text field to a number field the keypad automatically changes to numeric and after that it will not change back again at all for any text field.
Some clever person out there needs to work out what other registry change needs to be made to re-enable the auto switching of the keyboard between text and numeric fields while still maintaining the T9 word suggestion.

SMS typing is slow as hell. Why's that and how to fix that?

It takes almost 0.5 second for a letter to appear after i typed it in SMS app.

Go into Keyboard Settings -> additional parameters.
you should find something like bilingual suggestions
And uncheck all languages.
If u have no "additional parameters" menu, add an other language to your keyboard.
sorry if the title is not accurate I do not have my phone in front
Regards
Yes thanks, it is faster, but in a cost ;(
