Unless someone can correct me, I've noticed that copying and pasting is limited to areas of entering text and browsing.
1. Is it possible to copy text that you are not editing? Say, a received sms or email.
2. If it's not possible, is this an Android issue or HTC issue?
it is perfectly easy to copy stuff from the internet , see page 138 of the user guide which you can download from http://www.htc.com/www/userguide.aspx?p_id=312 I assume the same method works in messages and mails, but don't get my desire till tomorrow so can't check it out. You can copy in a less elegant way on my G1, so This method at least should be available to you.

It is possible to copy text. With the stock message app, the copy function doesn't seem to be there, but with handcent, which I use (downloadable from the market), just touch and hold on the message and you get the option. So it's more of an app issue than an Android or HTC issue.

I am unable to delete a SMS I received. I cannot read it or delete it. I can still use teh SMS function sending and receiving and deleteing but am unable to delete this one SMS.
Any ideas thank you
If you use a program such as dbExplorer http://www.phatware.com/hpcdbex.html you can find the table containing your SMS data and manually remove the entry.
To find the table is slightly tricky as I believe that with every hard reset the folder name changes. Look in your inbox for the total number of texts you've received, then look through the tables for one with the same number of records - as this table is usually one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) it should stand out. The record structure should be in chronological order, so to go the corresponding record (one of the TEXT fields should contain the text message content, and you can then remove it.
As to why it's happened in the first place, I don't know. Are you able to delete other messages or is it ALL messages you try?
Cheers

Thanks Ant that helped. Waynec
Have come to this one rather late.
Can you tell me how to find the tables please and will Resco Explorer do the trick.
I am trying to find the file containing my SMS files to transfer to a new machine.
Thanks

I receive messages, the inbox show a number of messages between brackets, but when I open it is empty, it does not show any messages. Anybody got a clue why? :?:
Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.
ROM version: 1.95.502.5 WWE

there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).
hello there, I have some stuff I'd like to change regarding SMS. I've got a P3300 with official WM6.
I'd prefer to change this through some options (tho I didn't find) or registry edit. If possible to do what I need without installing more (battery draining) applications, would be best, but if there is no other choice, I'll take a look at whatever application u suggest.
- when I am underground and I send an SMS, it tells me it can't be send, and the message goes into the temp. folder (dunno english name of this folder) and I have to resend it manually. I'd like it to resend automatically as soon as I have signal again. That's what my previous nokia phones did.
- when I send a SMS successfully, I get a popup and "ding" telling me it was send. I don't want this, I only want to know if there was an error. I send loads of messages, and this popup is rather annoying.
- since I have WM6, when i open messages through the today plugin, it always asks me if outlook, sms or mms... with wm5 it always went into the last one I used. I'd like this functionality back, is it possible?
is there any FAQ of different kind of tweaks that can be done with a P3300 wm6 just through options or registry? if yes, could you please link it, I'd like to take a look at that.
thx for everything

There is a tweak for this. Search and you will find it or else, i will try to find it 4 you this weekend.

Yes, this question has been answered be4 too. Search and you will find it or else, i will try to find it 4 you this weekend. I thought its possible...
hopefully you can find that info and give me a hand. i tried the forum search function but as i dont know exactly what i am looking for, my search is too generic and i get loads of results (most about tweaked roms) that don't help me at all.
EDIT: found answer to 3) by myself. SOLUTION: open messages, go into menu->tools->options and there you can setup the different types of message accounts you have. at the bottom is an option to enable or disable the account selector. i just turned that off.
For the SMS sent notification:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Settings/SMSNoSentMsg and set it to "1".
With the mentioned registry edit, you are not notified if the message fails to send. It just tries it, and puts it in sent items. If it fails it will not be re-send again by WM6.
you can fix the SMS/OUTLOOK/MMS thing in Options in your Messaging program.
ok, thx to that registry edit i get the sms sent popup no more. but i don't get any popup warning if it fails.
i've heard something about a different regedit key, with different numbers like
0 = no warn
1 = all warns
2 = only bla bla bla warn
3 = only ble ble ble warn
etc.
any1 got an idea about this?
also, any way to have the phone re-send failed sms automaticaly when i have signal again?
i am at a point that i would also try some SOFTWARE if needed, tho i prefer if it can be done just by registry.
Not familiar with those options. But why don't you give it a try and report back here.

Hi to All,
I have few questions to you regarding messaging – sending SMS and emails. I miss form my previous phones confirmation that SMS was delivered to the recipient. In Nokia it works like that the info is being displayed 5 seconds and then disappears. Quite similar it works in Sony Ericsson. In TP 2 I’ve manage to have so called report that the message was delivered which has form of SMS, which must be deleted like a regular SMS. Is there any other option to know that the message was successfully sent or was delivered?
Next issue I have encountered is lack of progress bar while I’m sending emails. If the email has attachment the sending process might take a while. In all phones I used to have there was some kind of progress bar while I can’t find anything like that in TP2 email application. This is annoying because I don’t know if there is progress of sending. Anyone has solved that problem?
And the last thing which I have noticed when using email application is attaching files. If the file is located in subfolder of the main folder it’s impossible to get access to it. Then it’s necessary to start operation with File Explorer (with which I have access to all folders) and use of Send as email function and then edit the email content. Not very logical.
All you thoughts and ideas are very welcome!
Have a nice day!
Max
PS. I’ve started to thinking about switching to Nokia N900 which seems to be more logical and intuitive in terms of software.
I recently used Jeyo Mobile Companion to move all my text messages (sent and received) older than a certain date to a seperate folder. Now, at random, when I send a text message, that entire thread of messages will delete from my phone. All my other messages from other contacts are not affected, only the thread of text with the contact I texted.
Of course I did all of this before I took a vacation, and am not currently able to undo the move of messages.
I checked the archive folder to see if maybe my missing threads had been moved to there, but they have not, they are just gone. This only occurs when I send a message, it has not happened otherwise. And it is at random, not every thread deletes. Let me know if you need more details. Oh, stock AT&T ROM, WM 6.5. Thanks.
Nobody else has experinced this? I'd appreciate any suggestions for restoring the lost texts (if possible) and for preventing it from happening again.
Just an idea. Not sure since I don't use the particular software you mentioned to auto delete messages.
The reason for your problem may stem from having threaded messaging enabled. If you have it enabled, this means that in the default WinMo messaging app, you can't delete particular messages. You have to delete the whole thread. It's all or nothing. (Note, it's possible to delete individual messages via Manila)
Disable threaded messaging with Advanced Config tool and see if your problem disappears.
I moved the messages back to the correct folders (sent and inbox) and everything seems to have corrected itself.
