Is there any kind of Manual Tool/Utility that will allow you to move SMS Messages from your Inbox and more to a User Created Folder
Example from Inbox >>> Personal
Anyone have any Ideas ?

The only way I know of to do that is with a 3rd-party app, like Jeyo Mobile Companion:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...&deviceId=2182&platformId=30&productId=120007
It works great actually...the only drawback is that the message management is done from your PC, so you'd have to be connected to it to move the messages, etc. There's other apps that will do the exact same thing via the same method (i.e. connected to the PC), but that one is one of the best.
As for just being able to move the messages right on your handset to another folder, I haven't seen any methods or hacks for that yet, perhaps someone else here has...??
I'm not sure about the differences between WM6.1, and WM6.5, but in WM6.5 you can create folders in the Text Messages account (Tools>Manage Folders), and move messages to that new folder.
sirphunkee & ridolfo Thank you for your responses
And yes ridolfo too Bad my Sprint TP2 isn't running 6.5 that's exactly what I'm looking to do

not sure if this is what you are asking for, but if you just want to create a folder under the inbox, and manually move messages, then it has always been a feature of winmo, even since the pocketpc 2002/2003 days.
go to winmo's mail program (if using HTC manila, select all messages), then menu -> tools -> manage folders -> tap & hold on inbox -> new folder. then select the messages you want to move, and move them to the newly created folder.

hmm not sure then... i've been using 6.1 on my kaiser, and 6.1 and 6.5 on my rhodium and it's a selectable option that works on my phone (just tried it)
maybe something to do with a rom or registry setting? sorry, no idea then..

Maybe it has to do with the threaded SMS implementation on WM6.1. You could try to disable that, and see if the menu becomes available (of course, if you value your threaded sms'es, you might not want to mess with it).

It's all good, thanks anyway I seem to recall this being possible on my old Wizard too, but I'm not sure. It's obviously not an issue of stability or anything else on this hardware, since it works fine for you, so maybe it's a carrier-specific thing..? Not sure why that would be, but I've seen plenty of other things disabled by this or that provider that made me scratch my head

Interesting...I never would have guessed that was it, but that seems to do the trick. I disabled SMS threading as described at that link (by registry hack, or Advanced Configuration setting in my case), and it then allowed me to chose the "Manage Folders" option in the menu. I created the folders I wanted under the inbox, then went back and re-enabled the SMS threading, and the folders I created remained in place, and I was able to manually move messages there at will, and retain my message threading as well. However, it did exhibit slightly odd behavior, in that always show the last received message as being in the inbox as well, even if you moved it to another folder, not sure why but I'm guessing it has to do with how the messages need to be handled for threading to be possible....I'll wait 'till I get some more texts and post back with the effects.
Try this:
Disable Touch Flo under Settings>Today>Items: Enable Windows Default, do a Soft reset. Then the "Manage Folders" option should work. Creat the folders you want. Then you can re enable Touch Flo and you folders should be there.

Small question, but is there a way to revert the old 'New' message button we used to have in WM5 back to WM6?
WM6 introduced a 'Delete' button in the Text Messages screen, since MS is convinced people use the delete more often then the new message function.
I hardly delete messages, so really would love to see my 'New' message button returned somehow.

PM me your email address and I will send it to you.
What I do to "solve" this problem
I simply changed one of the two softkeys on the today screen to "New SMS". Now I can start writting sms without even having to open up the messaging application.
You can do this under Start | Settings | System | Soft Key
Hope this helps some of you
Where can i find the file for placing the "new sms" on my left softkey for htc soft keys?
Tnx in advance

Go to start>settings>system then soft key, then you see the screen for left or right soft key, scroll up and down on the left key list and choose new sms, this should do it.

I like the program, the only problem is it can only do SMS and MMS. There is no E-mail way of doing this. I tried changing the e-mail setting to my
Mobile.exchange.mail2web.com
and it went through, but never got delivered to my friend. Is there any way to get this to work since i don't really feel like using 2 different program to send out messages?
If not then i guess I'll just set my messaging to only goto Outlook and then use the Today screen plugin for the Palm SMS to use for my text messages.

Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude
I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Cookies Home tab Editor (which requires Cookies Home Tab to be installed also) lets you change the applications launched from the Sense tabs (Messaging, Calendar, etc. but apparently not the Internet tab?). Its also an awesome way to customize the home tab, and well worth having on your phone.

If you don't want to make it a political thread, why not just say "I want to change the website shortcuts" ? You can want to change it from CNN to Bang Bros for all the heck we care.
Changing the website shortcuts in the Internet tab is simple. In the Internet tab, just touch Menu, remove the shortcut, then add the website of your choice.
Thanks.
Well, I guess that's a start. I was hoping to not have to install a different home screen or tabs slider, maybe I have the wrong idea about the Cookie app, I'll check it out.
Good point on the political part. I still honestly didn't want a political debate on my news choices but I could have gone with a different example. As for going into Opera and deleting the bookmarks and putting my own, that doesn't effect the pre-programmed bookmarks on the Internet touchflo tab. I think that removing those bookmarks will take some actual digging into the phone system files.
As for changing the default browser, yea, that part wasn't so hard. What I meant was that I wanted to open the internet touchflo tab and click the internet icon and have it open Skyfire instead of Opera, changing the default SYSTEM browser only affects what browser is used when opening hyperlinks from texts or emails.
Thank you for your suggestions though. They ARE greatly appreciated and I will check out the apps you suggested. As for the search function, I hate it because I can never get a narrowed set of results that apply directly to what I'm looking at. I'll try again though. Thanks again.
scratch that, I just looked at the first link you posted about the internet, I think that was PRECISELY what I was looking for. Thank you.

Yes, the CHT re-skins the home screen. It has awesome customizations, but it does use more program memory (some complain that it slows down the TP2 too much). So if you're on the fence, it might not be for you.

You aren't reading my post very carefully. I didn't tell you to delete the bookmarks in Opera. While in the INTERNET TAB, select menu, pick "Remove Favorite Shortcut", select "Done". Then select "Add Internet Shortcut" and pick the website of your choice. I haven't been using the stock ROM for a long time now, so it might be setup a bit different. But I don't think so, from my recollection.
Yea, I misunderstood. Sorry. That might be due to the fact that upon opening the Internet Tab, there is no menu button. Tapping and Holding on a bookmark does nothing (i.e. circle of dots...onscreen "right click" menu), and the soft keys only show Browser and Bookmarks. Browser is obvious. Bookmarks, well that lists two bookmarks that AREN'T the "permanent" bookmarks I was talking about.
But I should note that I have found the solution, kinda. If you search the phones system files (via computer) go to /application data/manilla/InternetPortal-en-us.xml then you can edit the default browser AND add/remove "permanent" links. Now I say I KINDA figured it out because unfortunately my .xml is write protected. Even if I right click and open the properties, uncheck "read only" it still remains write protected. If I create a new file, similarly named, the phone for some reason ignores the new .xml file and reads as if there is no .xml (provided that I remove the original, as I'd have to in order to make a new one)
So I'm about to try and figure out how to edit this .xml. I'll figure it out and when I do I'll post the solution on here. Wish me luck...I'm SOOOOOOOO close to getting this right.

If I remember properly, the trick the un-write protecting the Manila files, is to copy them (use Total Commander or similar, not the built-in File Explorer) to another directory. Then go Properties, uncheck Read Only, then copy back to the Manila directory to overwrite the old file. Save a version of the un-edited .xml file just in case you screw something up.
Yea, those two bookmarks are something else. Sites that I personally bookmarked IN Opera. I hit that softkey and it opens Opera and takes me to the bookmarks in the browser.
As for editing the file. I already messed it up. Copied to my desktop, edited that in notepad, and copied it OVER the existing file without thinking. As SOON as I started the copy I realized that I failed to make a backup. ****. Unfortunately, now my phone acts as if InternetPortal-en-us doesn't exist. It opens up my systems default browser (which IS skyfire) but the first screen isn't google like I specified in the XML, instead its an Error 404 type screen that says it can't find "\Search\\Home" or something like that. I also edited the permanent bookmarks, deleted youtube and espn, edited cnn to show fox. Now only 1 bookmark shows up...and it isn't Fox like you would hope...no, it's youtube.
I can't figure out how it defaults to youtube nor can I figure out why, with no programming errors or file-name errors, my phone believes that the file doesn't exist. I downloaded Total Commander and edited the properties of this file to read as READ-ONLY and SYSTEM but that didn't help either.
So, do you have any fix ideas? Yes, I know it's a good idea to make a backup, I typically do. I just got impulsive and reckless. Moved too fast.
I'm out of ideas. Personally, I don't use the Internet tab. In fact, I turned that tab off. My browser is one of the quicklinks on my home tab. It might just be easier to go that route.
If you want to return the Manila file to the way it was before, and don't mind losing your data, customizations, etc., a hard reset will restore the phone to factory condition. Go to Start>Settings>System>Empty Storage.
Well I thank you for your help thus far. I have been thinking about a hard reset but it really isn't worth it. I don't use the internet tab either because I use skyfire. So I'll either disable the tab or try one last thing. My father has the same phone. Service and model. I'll try copying the file from his phone and hopefully it works will with mine. I can't find anywhere on the web to download this file so this is my last logical resort.

Thanks! It's actually either fast neither easy.
I mean NOBODY would find it itself.
I've had a great hope can get all the bookmarks from IE to my device
but it's apparently not going to happen.
Luckily we have a great OperaLink..
Thank you anyway!

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

I ve installed send to wp7 on my phone, configured iexplorer and it works fine. I ve also installed the desktop version, managed to send a note to my phone, but when i try send sms or email nothing happens. Any clues?

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

I don't quite understand, how do i send an sms? Press the button on the desktop app, nothing happens, am I supposed to write a txt file, send to phone and then send as sms? will the txt file be read and added or will it be an attachment?

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I thought I explained my problem, but anyway. Here is the log after trying to send clipboard contents by clicking "send clipboard" at the taskbar context menu. Hope this helps you.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?
