Select Text in Messages (turn on Permently)? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I had a Pro Touch and the Select Text option in the menu when you have a message open, does not work like the new Pro Touch 2.
With the Pro Touch the Select Text was on all the time and the Pro Touch 2 you have to select it to copy and paste text.
Does anyone know how to turn it on 100 % of the time in the Registry?
Thanks

I would also like to know this

This would disable TFL3d in your WM Inbox, but I'm assuming you'd rather have 0 step selectable texts over touch flo 3d scrolling. So to make messages instantly selectable, this is what you do:
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/TFLOIgnoreAPPs
then create a new ignoreapp*** string value:
I used ignoreappIB for Inbox (but it can be anything)
for the value data enter: tmail.exe
Should work instantly without affecting tf3d in any oher app. Hope it helps

Did this ever work?

intellipad question regarding sending text messages

When on the today screen, you select new message. Upon seeing the new message screen and intellipad input method is selected, you can't use the intellipad to choose names in contacts. You can type out the name of the person in your contact, but it won't automatically complete the name, and verify the contact you are sending to (with the contact's cellphone number displayed). But if you type a contact's name using the keyboard, after hitting 3 keys, it automatically displays candidates that you can choose to send message to. This creates additional hassles, use a keyboard to select the contact you're gonna send message to, then sellect intellipad to input text messages. It's kind of a hassle. Any ideas?
Agree.
I do it the other way around...when I want to send a text message, I click on the call button, find the person I need with intellipad, then click and hold the name, and the menu that pops up allows me to send them a text message...easier and faster this way!
Ok. Thanks for the tip. Sure hope somebody fixes the issue though.
Unfortunately, it's the way IntelliPad was designed.
<techie>
Instead of trying to handle the entered text on whatever text box/trich text pad/label/unsupported text object, IntelliPad builds the word in it's own little box until you tell it to move on (by pressing enter or space), and then just moves the word onto the active control.
This way, you have less issues with the text not working as expected, even though it causes the one or two niggles like in Messaging .

WM6.1 Text Messaging

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!
Threaded
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.

Niggly Problems - SMS and Contacts

I have had my TP2 on Orange UK for a while, recently upgraded to WM6.5, and have a couple of really frustrating problems:-
1. If an SMS message cannot be sent it goes into drafts and doesn't resend automatically. This is bad enough, but when I open it to try to resend it has my own mobile number as the recipient, so cannot simply press "send". The only way I can resend it is by selecting "menu" then "forward" and then re-entering the recipient. Unbelieveably frustrating!! Can anyone help please?
2. I'm a long time HTC WM user, and well used to the challenge of Phone contacts being difficult to navigate (however careful you may be when swiping the list, accidentally touching a contact for too long opens it, and when you press "Back" it takes you to the top of the list... this is rubbish!! I have about 300 contacts on my phone. On upgrading to 6.5 I now have a new "Contacts" icon in the start menu, which is obviously a different app. Its far more user friendly, better layout for my 50 yr old eyes and doesn't have the same issue of going "back", as pressing the "X" takes you back to where you were in the list. Is there any way you can use this as the default app for contacts in the phone menu?

adding a new word

I have upgraded from the Touch Pro to the Touch Pro2. On the Touch Pro when I was composing a message using T9 and tried to enter a word my phone did not recognize, I could add the new word and continue on with my message. On the Touch Pro2 once I save the new word, I still have to re-type it into my message. So everytime I need to add a new word I have to type it twice in a row. Is there any way around this little annoyance? I am familiar with phone modifications like registry editing, etc.
