Hello,
On all previous HTCs, including the original Touch Pro, I used to be able to drag down with my finger to select multiple messages in email (or even files in explorer). This is no longer possible as dragging down with the finger scrolls the whole page. I know it is possible to select messages by going through the menus, but it is a very long-winded way of doing this.
Is there a registry setting somewhere that can turn off this "feature" - it is the same problem even when turning off TouchFLO 3D.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Same Issue
I was begining to wonder whether it was just me that had this problem. Anyone know of a fix??
Thanks in advance.
You still can. highlight the item you like to begin with.
Use your soft or hard keyb. to hit "shift" or "ctrl" and start selecting the usual way.
Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to do it without opening out the keyboard or workarounds like the soft keyboard.
It just really bugs me that perfectly good functionality has been removed in the name of "improvement".
Even a compromise such as being able to drag down to select on the left side of the screen (like Resco Explorer) would be good enough, with the rest of the screen being left for scrolling.
If anyone knows of a registry key or something to fix this, please enlighten me.
Thanks!
this is getting to me to i loke to quickly block delete emails that come in all the time thati dont need etc
Crazy isn't it! Removing the "D" Pad coupled with this loss of 'block selecting' functionality has made the device much more unusable.
even with the keyboard, i am no longer able to select multiple msgs
can someone confirm this?
same here.. still searching for the cause.
When looking at a folder, go Menu -> Select Messages -> Several. Then just touch those you want to delete
Mine lets me do menu.....select messages....several.
/beaten to it
i used to be able to do "SHIFT + DOWN direction key" to select several msg at 1 go
that was on TP1
the function disappeared..

I am using the standard tf3d. I am having serious problems in order to navigate through any of the lists such as the contacts list or calls list. First the scroll bar is far too small in order to select it easy with a finger. I also hate that it right starts calling a person in case I first hit a contact in order to scroll through the list. Sometimes I need to press more then once in order to have the item selected.
How can I change the config such that I get rid of this annoying problems?
Don't mess with the scroll bar. Just slide your finger across the list. If your problem is that sometimes it selects an item instead of scrolling, then just keep practicing and it will happen less. Try moving your finger up and down to move the list around.
Why can't I configure it such (like Iphone) that I can select an item an whipe my finger without that it directly calls the contact? I want it to perform a call to the contact just after selecting the item for a longer while. Is there a GUI available for the TP2 which performs like the Iphone GUI?
try to remove useless items such as weather,stock and other ****s.
i have only 4 items in my touchflo3d,dont need to scroll,just click one of them.
do you really need all items in touchflo3d??????
The problem is not the tf3d.. it sounds to me like you just arent used the resistive screen.. the screens on these phones require a slight amount of pressure to work properly, as opposed to the iphone screen which is a capacitive screen which works off the electricity from you body therefore you barely have to touch the screen.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen .. so if you are used to a capacitive screen, getting used to a resistive screen will take some time.. every time i let someone who has ( or has used) an iphone, use my phone they have the same problem.. and it makes my phone looks like crap until i explain to them how it works... resistive screens are more precise when it comes to pinpointing on a screen but capacitive is way more fluid and finger friendly.. I could be wrong in your case but the problem you are having happens all the time when people use my phone..
Hello everyone,
I just bought my ATT tilt 2 and I have a few issues that I would like to address. If you guys can help me address them it would be greatly appreciated.
(1) When I get a call and message at the same time, my phone doesn't stop vibrating even when I am in a call and the other end can hear a buzzing noise.
(2) In my message tab, I have a '1' icon showing that i have a new message but I have no new message. I even deleted all the messages and still it does not go away. Therefore TouchFLO is also showing me '1' new message all the time.
(3) In my previous phone (omnia), I could hit any of the front hardward key to light up the phone then I could unlock it. but that feature does not seem to work in this phone, I have to everytime hit the power key to go in and out, therefore I find no use for the lock feature. I changed the setting for it to never go on standby but then the screen always on (low visibility) and that would probably use up alot of battery.
Any fixes for these problem?
I do not mind changing ROMs but I have no idea which ones are stable and how to go about changing them. I can look up on how to change them but I need to know what people are happy with. I do not want to keep changing ROMs.
Thanks Alot for your help
Have to push power button to wake up device
I have a TILT2 and it sucks to have to push the power button to wake it up. Does anyone know how to modify this?
I would like to push one of the front buttons to wake it up as they are more accessible.
Thanks.
Number 1 is weird. Maybe try a hard reset.
Number 2: Go to Start>Settings>Today do to "Items" tab. Uncheck TouchFlo3D, and check Messaging. Hit OK, and go back to the Today screen. There should be some stupid welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages (for some reason doesn't show in TF3D). Delete it, and you can go back into the Settings and turn TF3D back on. The "1" message icon should be gone
I had the same problem, and this worked for me.
number three:
Try this link from XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578061&highlight=wake+device+button
If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..
I have my text settings set to be threaded but instead of putting my text's in a nice orderly thread (like the original TP did) I get all the messages from whoever is sending them at the bottome and everything I sent at the top. Has anyone else noticed this? If so has anyone discovered a fix for this? PLease? it makes it hard to track where my discussions are going and/or where we've been (like when some references a previous text from me I have to search through all the texts from me that are slammed at the top).
The other problem I have is on my touch pro it had the time of the text for every text not just mine, can we fix that too?
Thanks ahead of time. I tried searching but came up with nothing close to what I am having.
Are you on the stock build?
Yes, just got it last night, I like everything about it except this...well, not everything. the start menu takes time to get used to as well...
I forgot to mention that the keyboard doesn't have a CTRL button...who would design a keyboard without a CTRL button? How am I supposed to copy things? especially now that touchflo doesn't wanna let me press and hold and select copy (or what have you)?
most text fields you should be able to straight highlight and copy. For other text you may have to go into menu and set it to "Make text copyable", or something along those lines I don't quite remember the exact words.
As for your SMS, I haven't run across this issue and am unable to find anything via searches. Have you tried disabling and re-enabling? Soft Reset? Hard reset?

You can find an app in these forums called "Rhodium Key Remapper" that will allow you to assign one of the other keys to the "CTRL" function
My Tilt 2 and my girlfriend's Tilt 2 suffer from the same issue. About 25% of the time when we open a text message, our phones do not scroll down to the most recent message nor give us a cursor so we can start typing a reply.
You have to manually scroll down to the typing area and manually click in the blank space, and even then, when you start typing and get to the end of a line, instead of automatically dropping down to the next line, the phone inexplicably scrolls back up to an older message. You then have to scroll back down and click in the typing area where your message was cut off to resume typing, but each time you get to the end of a line, it scrolls back up again. Using the task manager to close the sms application fixes the problem, but it reoccurs about one out of every four text messages we receive. I have applied both of the hotfixes, the sms patch and the caller id patch.
It's so much of an annoyance, she, being a bigger texter than I, hates the phone. If anyone else has had this issue, do any of the extant cooked roms fix the issue? We are both using the stock At&T Rom minus the crud.
sounds like it could be a case of the different programs interfering with each other. install one by one and see if that makes a difference, you might come to realize something. If you want to just uninstall those programs you should use an advanced uninstaller like TMS or SK Tools to make sure you change the registry settings.
I'd really suggest grabbing a visual kitchen and making your own custom ROM. It is really simple and in my case has been the most stable and quickest ROM i've used to date.
thats just the Windows Mobile messaging... its horrible, they should make a new one lol, Like Handcent SMS for android, that is like THE best texting app. but about the issue, it sounds like you just need to purge your SMS, I do it once a week,but I also do a PIM backup before so, just incase
I do.
I purge it every day. I delete everything, and then I empty out the deleted messages if that's what you mean. It pisses me off. Her phone has virtually nothing on it. It's completely stock. I know there isn't anything interfering with it.
same problem here.
No solution here, but I can more further identify the problem....
Does this seem accurate?
When I select a text message from the message inbox, it displays the message just like a normal reply window with the keyboard at the bottom, but then takes a second or so and then the keyboard hides and the message is displayed full screen and the reply area with the cursor loses focus. Then I have to click in the reply box at the bottom at which point the keyboard has to pop up again and resize the message. The action is as if I have touched the message itself which would of course expand the message and minimize the keyboard.
I was originally thinking it is a left-over phantom touch from the previous screen but that has been ruled out. Maybe this is a timing issue in the registry? It doesn't seem like it. It happens with every new message that you want to reply to. I'm at a total loss, but very annoyed by this. The email section works fine. I see a list of messages, I select one, if I choose to reply, the message pops up and the cursor appears inline right where I should type and the keyboard pops up at the same time. Once I have replied to a message, even if I reboot the phone, if I go back to a message I have replied to the keyboard is already up with the cursor focused in the reply box. I don't know why it doesn't do this when a new message comes in. Maybe it thinks you need more space to read the message, but this is silly considering text messages are usually very short….ie Short Messaging Service…
I saw someone else post that this is just sucky windows messaging. Well, it didn't do this on my Treo 750 with WM6.1. But there I had a regular keyboard, not a software keyboard on a touch screen.
So my guess is that something in the messaging system may be looking for the hardware keyboard and assuming we have it open and displaying the messages full screen.
So what I think we really need to ask is if there is a way to force the keyboard to just be open and put the cursor focus in the reply box when I open a new text message by default?
Alternatively, is there a messaging replacement that eliminates this problem?
Hello, everyone;
I've got a TP2 on WinMo 6.5 Pro, and would like to modify it a wee bit to do the following.
First, the signal lost, call dropped window that pops up. I'm an over the road truck driver, and this happens alot in the mountains. Is there any way to disable this silly message?
Second, the backlight always comes on whenever it looses/regains a signal. This is an extreme annoyance, bordering on dangerous, situation when driving at night and I am constantly distracted by the sudden glow from the screen. Can this be disabled?
Finally, emails. Is there a setting that will force the entire email to download, doing away with the tap-here-to-download-entire-message thing?
Much appreciated, everyone, and best wishes for a great day!
Fred
Not sure on 1 or 2, sorry. For 3:
-Launch the inbox (Microsoft version, not Sense). Scroll to Email tab and tap Inbox
-Menu --> Tools --> Options
-Tap on the account
-Tap on "Download Size Settings"
-Message download limit dropdown --> Entire Message
-Download Attachments dropdown --> All attachments
Edit: Not really a solution for the second issue, but if you turn on the "Automatically adjust backlight" feature it won't be quite so bright when it does turn on. Start --> Settings --> System --> Power. Check "Automatically adjust backlight".
Perfect! Issue 3 solved. Thanks, bud.
Anyone for the other two?
entire message
From the inbox of an email account - tap the soft button to the right of the keyboard one (menu?). tap on tools then options - tap on the account you wish to modify. You should see an option for Download Size Settings - select "entire message from the bottom drop down menu then click done.
If you are going through an Exchange Server then run the Activesync app on the phone. Click menu then options. Hightlight "email" then tap on settings. Change the download size limit to "entire message" and ok your way out.
I can't help with the other issues as I am new to this phone too.
Ok. Someone beat me to it.
No worries, mate, thanks for chiming in. You did illuminate another method, and thankfully you two have solved one annoying issue. The others will require entering the registery, I'm sure.
Thanks!

On the Email Issue, go to the inbox, tap and hold to bring up the context menu, select Tools / Options, and you can modify the download settings.
settings\sounds and notifications\ notifications tab... in there you can change what different 'events' do.
If there is a setting in your phone for what you want it will be in there.. if not It's likely a registry change you need to do. That I cant help you with as I wouldn't know what you need to change specifically.
