New problem not on the forums - Desire General

Im using a deisre on tmobile uk
Im only using google mail, with push and have no pop3 accounts set up.
If I choose a calender entry and try to share it, the phone will ask me how? IE email, text message etc. It wont allow you to send it by email unless its pop3.
I tried sending it via text to another phone, and my phone sent an mms, to a number starting 100.
My operator charged me for the message, but as the number it was sent to was not the contacts phone number it never arrived.
Also, now that I had sent that message, if I went into messages and tried to click on a recent conversation with this person, I could send another normal text message, but it would actually be sent as another picture message and again to the wrong number.
Hope this stops any of you falling fowl of this bug.
Unless any of you want to prove this bug and post below?

Sending a text message to an email

Sometimes for work I get a text message from a mailing list when a server goes down. For some reason I am unable to send a text reply to the email. Is this something I have to do something special for? I have always been able to do it on my old phones (non windows mobile).
that's a carrier feature. You'll have to call them. Probably the old phones were configured for your carrier.

can we be more specific? I'm having a hard time following you.
You get a SMS message from work? or an email?
is it sent to the SMS address on your phone or as an email?
When you reply, are you sending a SMS or an Email? what is the address type that you are replying to?
The devil is in the details....
When the mailing list sends out the messages it sends it to something like my phone number @txt.att.net however when I go to reply with a text message (sms) to the email address that the message was sent from it gives me an error saying "The text message account cannot be used to send email messages"

ok... you are using the email to SMS gateway.
you cannot text message to an email address from your phone.
You can MMS to an email address, try it that way
HOWEVER, if the sms you receive has sending address of a bunch of numbers, it can reply back to the original sender using the sms to email gateway that AT&T (or others) provides.. just reply.. do not change the address.
AT&T is my carrier and I send SMS to email addresses everyday. The email recepient sends their email to me and it shows up in SMS format. When I flashed to a Schaps Rom, I could not do it anymore, so I flashed to another rom (k's 1.30b) and it works just fine. It's a pretty handy feature to have. I am not sure if it is a carrier feature, but I do know not all roms let you do it.
That must be what it is. I am using the TNT rom. I will try another.
Try this one

Email Messaging on HTC Touch Pro2

Hi All,
Say, if i do emails on my tp2, i send the email out and forget to bcc me, i forward the email to myself separately. I only get my signature without the full contents. Wondering if this is normal??
Is there any way we can configure the client or alternate programs to like pull emails like from 9am to 6pm instead?
Kinda like Nokia's default email client on e71s, i can choose when and how to download emails. And at the same time have an option to automatically send me a copy of the emails.
Thanks alot in advance or sorry if this is a stupid question..
EDIT: Is this a known thingy? Will wm 6.5 be addressing this issue?
1. When I forward mails, the entire message is included. I can think of 2 reasons why this isn't working for you.
a. You use Windows Live email (ie Hotmail) and you didn't toggle on the setting in Windows Live to include original message when replying/forwarding.
b. You've only set to download the email headers. You need to download the full message from the server before forwarding to include the whole message.
2. You can schedule your email push/pull between specific times of the day only if you use Windows Live or Exchange.
I know many people like to bcc themselves on all emails but you can just check the Sent folder as an alternative. I guess it's just a matter of preference...
My work email is primative pop3/smtp.. I'm using the default messaging on the htc touchflo3d, not the windows live.
Hmm.. i'll try the down entire message thingy..
Hi,
Have tried to use download entire email messages... still the same.. when i forward the email out.. it goes until only my signature.. does not forward the entire message
anymore ideas??
I was wondering that perhaps it may be because you're connecting via POP3. But this doesn't appear to be the case. I just tested setting up my Gmail account via POP3 and I can forward messages just fine.
After you tap on "Forward", you should be taken to a compose screen where you type in your recipients. If you scroll down, do you see the original message in full?
thats the thing... i can see the whole email in full.. theres teh "edit original sender's message" thingy...
but when i actually click send.. it only send out the portion i typed.. -.-
I have sent my phone in for service b4, updated software, hard reset... all the same... maybe i'll try my gmail and update again..
What happens if you tap the part thatt enables you to edit the original message before you send?
same ; ;
10chars
tested with Gmail and yahoo... by configuration, both uses imap on the client..
tested with my other personal email from isp... think i found a pattern..
If i forward from inbox.. everything ok..
If i forward from sent items... only what i type is sent...
i didnt test on imap.. deleted my account.. anyone got any observations??
any help??!?? ; ;

SMS bug

My company has an alerting SMS system. Usually you receive a reminder. The special thing in the SMS that instead of the number in the "Form" field it shows the text "alert".
When I receive this SMS it shows that I received it one of my friends from facebook contacts :s His profile also not contains number under the phone field just characters.
How this huge bug could pass the test?!
I reported this issue to HTC support, but of course no response.
This happens with me when receiving texts from t-mobile, it always says that they are from a random facebook friend. The only way to stop it, is to stop the phone syncing facebook contacts.
I too am having the same problem.
It seems very odd that it should pick up a random facebook contact.
I don't sync my facebook contacts to the Desire, but do remain logged into facebook and it still picks up the random contact despite the mobile numbers used etc all being different!
A fix would be great!
I had this bug, I had the contact delete their phone details seeing as they only entered garbage. Don't hold your breath on it ever getting fixed.

General Contacts Questions (Modifying etc)

Right, I'm at my whit's end.
I've added contacts to my new Desire, and managed to link them with their respective FaceBook profiles. The thing is, i now want to send a group text message, and the primary message method is via e-mail. I don't want to send an e-mail, i want to text their phone number. I can't seem to find anything which will change it so that an SMS is primary and e-mail is secondary.
Any ideas on that one? I know i can send a single message, but that isnt what i want to do, i want to highlight any contact i wish and have it automatically send an SMS, and not an e-mail.
Also, when sending a message, is there any way to filter the contacts down to just those with phone numbers OR e-mail instead of having a massive amalgamated list of Facebook, Twitter, Google and Phone contacts?
Any help will be hugely appreciated!
hi did you get anywhere with this - esp your last point - must be something obvious ?!
Nope, got nowhere. I can't find any option or anything anywhere to do this. Ive just decided to try and live with it.
If I understood well..when you type in a new message and click in recepients, then the list with your contacts pops up. But, in mine at least, every contact that has a phone number and an email, has 2 records, one with the mail and one the phone number, only to let you choose what you want. Although in contacts list, have one all together.
it shows me:
nikos <[email protected]>
nikos <+000>
etc...
I have the same system as well. The issue i'm raising is when you have say, 350 Facebook contacts and 200 Gmail contacts, and you want to send a message, you have to scroll through every contact to get to the one you want.
I want to know if there's a way to filter the contacts to say "Mobile Numbers Only" or "Email Only" when you're trying to select a (many) recepient(s) for a message.

[Q] GN Exchange Email

Besides Gmail, I also am using Exchange Mail through my Comcast account.
This is what I have experienced and wonder if there is a solution.
After having loaded my mail and having read it on the GN, after some time of receiving new messages, the old messages that I have kept drop off the bottom. Then some time later, I get a new email notification and it is one of the previously read emails and it shows up as not having been read. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Also, I had a DroidX before and was able to select all messages from the settings to delete them without having to individually select each one to delete. Is this a feature that went away in ICS?
Thanks for your responses.
