At the bottom of the Touch Flo 3D Today screen, there's a ribbon, of sorts, that you can scroll through. If you click on that and then click on an unread message on the first screen, you'll be presented with a certain interface where the texts you've sent are gray and the texts you've received are black. If you send a text message through this interface and it doesn't successfully get sent out you have to manually type it again.
In contrast, if you hit the "All Messages" button at the bottom left you're presented with a different interface. One where the texts you've sent are in blue and the ones you've received are in green. This one, unlike the previous interface I just described, says "Message was not sent. Try again?" if a text wasn't sent. That makes me prefer that interface.
My question is, how can I replace the first interface with the second?
Good question. The touchflo sms program looks nice, but doesn't work as well as the stock one in a lot of ways.

Hi all!
Well, I installed 6.1 and it works great! It's a new dash, and I HATE the T-mobile OS with a passion. I downgraded from a wing (though it feels like I upgraded to be honest... nothing but problems with the wing) so I don't know if this is a WM 6.1 issue, or a Dash issue, but I've got some problems:
1. I love the whole "IM" feel of a threaded SMS message, and I'd really like to use it, but I had to disable it, because FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T SCROLL UP TO READ OLDER MESSAGES!!!
I tried EVERYTHING and I just can't do it!! I had my girlfriend send me 4 messages in a row while I was sleeping and I can only see the last 2. I had to disable threading just to read her messages! I'd like to fix this. Can someone please tell me how to scroll up for the love of God???
2. Since I disabled threading, I now have a new issue... 2, actually. They're not problems, just annoying as hell.
- I've got a light green format now. Light green header background with darker green text. Edit area is green text, which is nice, but I'd prefer black & white, or a darker green at the very least. Is it possible to edit this without changing the whole damn theme?
- When I open an incoming text message, I see a blank white screen. At first I thought it crashed, but then hit the "Up" button and saw that it opened the message, and put me at the BOTTOM of the message by default! Again, not a big deal, but it is a pain. I'd really like it to be at the top of the message (the header) at LEAST at the top of the message body. Anything I can do for this??
Sorry if this topic appears elsewhere... I DID search, but got about a million results back and nothing relevant. If you're going to get mad at me, at least link me to a topic that's already covered these issues Thanks!!
Thanks again, in advance, for your forthcoming help!!

1. I have used several of the 6.1 ROM's from Kavana and Ricky, and am able to scroll up on a threaded conversation that goes beyond the bounds of the screen.
Sorry I don't have any other answers for you. What 6.1 ROM did you install?
Kavana 6.1
What did you try to do to scroll up? I can very easily scroll up to older SMS messages by pressing up on the directional pad. This is on the latest Kavana 6.1.
That's what I did... pushed "Up". Nothing happened. The cursor stayed in the edit area, and the screen didn't move.
I hope someone can help..
On TF3D (OS 6.1), is there a way to see multiple days appoints on the home screen? mine is only showing appointments for the current day and I would love it it could show my appointments for the week....
Also, when a text message comes in, I get the alert sound and also the notification icon at the top of the screen but NOTHING pops up on my screen until I go to the Text message tab. WHY??
Thanks...
When I try to respond to a received SMS, sometimes I don't get a cursor to be able to start typing. I have to close the messaging tab and reopen it and then usually the cursor appears. Does anyone else have this issue.
if your using sense, then yes i have the same problem. maybe. if your keyboard is already out when you open the message it wont have a curser. all you have to do is tap the white box where yo type and it SHOULD be fine
It's more serious than that for me.
Sometimes the area where you are supposed to type is shrunk down to about half it's normal height, the messaging app doesn't scroll down to the most recent message in the thread, and there is no cursor to start typing. I'm using the stock at&t rom minus the bloat. I love this phone except this one quirk. I mostly use my phone for texting and every other time I receive a text it seems like I have to close out and reopen it. Very annoying problem.

Not to throw my 2c in but I just realized something on my Tilt2 when a msg txt comes in for me to reply to I dont get a cursor in the box either, but you can start typing without tapping the box or waiting for the cursor.
Recently been playing around with the MAX MANILLA rom just installed a few days ago. Tried playing around with my registry learning to fix some problems.
Usually I txt through TOUCH FLO 3D and the problem is. If i was to send a txt message, it won't show up on the screen, I would have to refresh my screen to another section and come back to see my txt message.
Any tweaking suggestions?
Thanks.
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?
If I scroll to the SMS box in sense, then click the "new text message" box/button, and slide out the hard keyboard while its loading the text message screen, it then stops opening up a new text message and just reverts back to the sense screen with my last incoming text on it. Is there a fix to this issue?
I'm running "SuperRom" if it matters, but I think I've seen this issue with other roms I've run as well....
