Questions now that I installed 6.5 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I like WM 6.5 but it leaves me confused.
1. Txt msgs... before, If I got a new msg notification, the new msg would open if I clicked on the notification. Now if I click on the new msg notification I have to hunt through all my msgs to find the new msg. Is there away to set things so that the msgs are displayed in the reverse order that they come in.
2. Second, for the life of me I can't figure out how to display all my installed programs. I have a screen where most of them show up, all the pre installed programs, but not all of the ones that I have installed.

You should be able to view it from your Installed programs in start > settings > system > installed programs.
If that does not do the trick, download SK Tools it should work. If not TMS uninstaller is another one.
IN regards to your txt messages, I remember reading about another user who had the same issue. I don't know if it ever got solved, but check about 2 weeks back on these forums.

Hi guys, I have a TP2. I have a quick question. I'm not sure if before I did the update to the 6.5 the accelerometer would work when i put the phone on landscape with out taking out the keyboard. Also wasn't there an option on 6.1 that let you set it to auto? it no where to be found. is there a fix for this? please help/advise thanks

Desperately need help with NOTIFICATIONS (prob. a bug)

Hello I have a M3100 (HTC HERMES) running Windows Mobile 6 Pro
Specs:
CE OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
I really can't understand why every 4/5 days or after having installed some program (like spb shell) my notifications for SMS and e-mails disappears.
I tried to look in Settings/Sounds but everything looks fine.
In the registry under the ControlPanel folder the keys look to be ok.
When I receive and SMS or an e-mail I only get the writing "1 Message to read" (or similar) with no sound nor popup nor vibration....
Is there a way to control this notification system? How does it work?
It's really frustrating because I continuosly have to look at the today tab to see if I got a message... grrrr.
Thanks
Just dont install those programs...that might fix the problem
I'm having the same problem without any installed apps.
Sometime, soft-reset does the trick and sometimes not.
However, I did not let the device continue to install everything after my hard-reset, what is in the extended ROM in Schaps 4.01?
Did I miss some critical update?
Have you 'TICKED' the box in Settings/Sounds&Notifications/Programs ?
Otherwise it has to be one of your installed programs.

Yes, it is ticked. The problem is that most of the time, just as mattjakob described it, there is no notification and the messeging today plugin shows unread mail. While in other times (after SR?) everything works good.
Coming to think of it, it may have started around the time I assigned a sound to incoming mail... I'll try and remove it and see what happens.
I'd personally reflash the ROM for something this odd...

Can't read text messages on Dash 6.1 - Only Header

I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.
What Rom are you using?

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.
DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.
hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.

Removing a CAB file?

Hey all,
I'm very new to winmo phones and decided to try and get rid of that annoying SMS sent box. I installed a ROM I found on another website that many people were having success with. It didn't stop the SMS box, but now the box seems to randomly pop up when I receive messages and whatnot. Stupidly, I didn't backup my phone before doing it. Is there anyway I can just uninstall it?
Thanks
The CAB should show up under Remove Programs (Settings -> All Settings -> System)
Download Total Commander, it can remove the SMS Sent notice

WM 6.5 lockscreen clock?

I couldn't find anything on this, maybe I wasn't searching correctly. If I missed the fix somewhere, i apologize in advance.
I'm running the HTC WM 6.5 rom with a few reg tweaks and every night since Nov. 2, 2009 [DST], the clock on the lockscreen gets stuck at 00:00 and won't advance to 00:01. It won't even change until I restart my phone. This is the T-Mobile USA TP2, if that would make any difference. I'm not sure I've messed with any of the reg files that have to do with the clock, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
I also tried downloading the fix ".cab" from Micro$haft and for some reason, I couldn't send it through bluetooth from my PowerBook G4 and my TP2. So then I tried downloading it in the mobile IE browser. No go. It downloaded it as a .tsk file, which, aas you may or may not know, is a WM theme file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to fix this strange quirk.
connect the phone to the computer and select 'storage card' as access type on the menu that pops up on the phone then just copy & paste it over there (if your pbook supports copy & paste...sry just had to throw it in after ur microshaft comment ).
As for the clock, are you running a custom rom at all? If not, then do it, if so, then revert from it lol. I have no idea on that but I don't have that problem at all. Maybe try turning off touchflow and then turning it back on once the problem has occurred (go to settings -> all settings -> today -> items -> uncheck touchflow or sense, depending on rom, hit ok and exit, then repeat the steps to turn it back on.

I'm running the HTC WM 6.5 rom with my own registry edits in it. I haven't noticed it the clock doing this lately but I have been getting my sms messages and it says that they're actually received at the same time from two days ago. I'm really not understanding why it's doing this. This phone has done random funny things since I've started using it.

1 new text message

I have tried to find the text message that it says is new, but i cant, is there a way to find it, or a way in the registry to make it say i have no new messages?
if you search you'll find a fix since there's a thread about this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1519862
i searched but apparently with the wrong keywords, sorry
i wasn't trying to be mean.
The fix is less complicated than the thread referred to above (unless this issue is different from the one I had). There is a welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages, but for some reason TouchFLO won't open the message.
Disable TouchFLO by going to Start>Settings>Today, select the Items tab, and uncheck TouchFLO 3D. Check the "Messaging" Item. Touch FLO will be disabled, giving you the normal Windows 6.5 Today screen. Navigate to messages, and you should see the text message there. Delete, and you should be all set. Reload TouchFLO.
This was driving me crazy too, until I stumbled upon in on accident (jut wanted to see what the normal Titanium Today screen looked like).
