2.2 text annoyance - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after you hit new text the RECENT tab can be found.
i cant figure out how to erase items from the list, i'd rather just have the people i consistently talk to. anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't believe you can remove the RECENT button, if that's what you're asking
you're best bet is to create a group for the people you talk to the most

I'm thinking you could flash over the DK28 stock text ap and it would work for you.
I have not tried yet but I really want to it sucks you can't save pictures anymore...

what do you mean you can't save pics?
I save pics all of the time, the only strange thing is
when I save my pics now, they all save with the same file name
w/an extension: (1), (2), (3), etc
you have to tap and hold on the pic, check the box, and click save
if that's what your issue is

I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm
I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !
I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

If only there a was a way to write sms's as well on the desktop, that'd be great...!
I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp
Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

Phone call / Contact picture Bigger??

Hey,
You know when youre on the phone or the call is incoming you see a photo selected for that particular contact. Well it is kind of small ...
Any way to see a bigger portrait picture on the phone call screen?
If you get photo contacts pro then you can set them up to show in full Screen. check my signature for it.

Keyboard nuisance

Can someone please tell me how to fix the following?
If I am on the homescreen [Kavana 6.1] and I want to call someone, I will type in their name. If for example I want to call someone named Jill, I can type it out and it will appear on the screen as "JILL" and match up to the proper contact. However, if I type a name like Sammy, it will alternate between letters and the numeric keys to produce something like "4#.."
How can I change this?
same thing
i had the same thing happen to me earlier but the name that i was looking for was in the list too so i just selected it. no biggie.
I highly don't think there is a fix.
hhaha
i just noticed your signature mikey....you rule

Even the "rose" rom does it. Sorry NRG lol
I have the rose rom and i tried looking for "Jenn"
What is going on is that if the letter falls on a number in the search field, it is defaultet to showing the number. The phone thinks you wanna enter a number to dial.

Neat Trick

Hi guys, glad you liked it I might mess around with more wallpapers to see if I can come with with anything else interesting. If there are enough going around, I'll create a new section on my blog with a list of wallpapers.

Can't get it to work on my Trophy... did the email, save, use it as wallpaper thing and its black, no transparency.
Thanks,
Hi Avandor,
I don't have access to a Trophy, but if anyone else tries this, could they please mention the model they have and whether or not it works. I'll update the blog post with the information. Thanks

Hi hboos,
Try sending it from another account, as Avandor did. I sent mine from my Hotmail account. When you download, don't download the entire message. Click on the PNG attachment and then wait a few moments. Once the 'cancel' button next the attachment disappears, click again. This should open it in the picture viewer with the option to set as wallpaper. I'll update the blog post to see if anyone else with an Omina has tested it.
ok working now , dif email
and ofcourse a real big thanks to the maker and finder of this trick

Hey thanks man.
i did as you said and it works
if you save the image and change it from the saved image then it doesn't work..
strange
but good work dude!
Thanks for the feedback guys! It's strange that the transparency is lost if you load the image via the normal route. Might be one of the reasons the Zune software doesn't sync PNG files.
Created a new one for fun. Takes advantage of the fact that the screen isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated.
Image I used:
Image link
if you change it just make sure you save the email so it can reload.

see time stamp in default messaging app

Hello,
I've noticed that I cannot see the time stamps of messages. I'm curious to know if we can enable the time stamps in messages. Or slide the message to the left or right to get the time stamp as it works in iMessage...
Just give the message bubble a tap and you'll see the time stamp.

At least for the "Korean/Japanese"...
If I'm understanding correctly, try changing the language to English -- drag down notification bar, click the cog, go to System (second option from the bottom), then Languages & Input (selection the topmost option), Language Preferences (topmost option), and move English to the top (hold down 3 lines next to it) and/or click green plus on the bottom of the list and add English (US)....
If I'm understanding correctly, you trying to work your phone when everything is in Asian lettering would make things exponentially more difficult to figure out and troubleshoot...
Good luck to ya and hope this helps...
