hello,
maybe a stupid question, so sorry in advance.
since my htc desire updated to froyo several months ago i have lost the ability
to copy and paste text from web pages etc. (the bit with the little green arrows you move around the text).
i can copy url's etc but when i tap and hold the screen on the web page, nothing.
it used to happen all the time by accident as well. any help in restoring this to my phone or if i'm just missing something settings is very much appreciated.
thank you.
Press menu then look for text selection or something similar

Thank you for your reply meaple. I'm afraid I've tried checking the settings on my phone, to the point of pressing every setting in the list. Alas, no luck. I have now emailed HTC but still waiting on a reply.

I was enjoying my new Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile for over a month now and suddenly I noticed that Touch Flo 3D said I had a "new text message". I usually just check "all messages" so that I can see all text message "discussions" instead of one at a time or "read only" mode when you tap a contact and slide over to "sms". So this time I checked "all messages" and none of my messages were "unread". I even went through every conversation to make sure nothing was missing, not even an mms message.
I even turned off Touch Flo 3D thinking that was causing the issue, no dice. Everytime I go into the SMS app for Windows Mobile and look at the folder tree, I see "inbox (1)". So I downloaded a cab file from xda that allows "mark all as read" in the sms app. After installing/softresetting and choosing "mark all as read" from within the WinMo SMS app, this issue did not go away both in Touch Flo 3D and in the WinMo SMS app.
Finally I came across a link of someone having an issue with their HTC Hermes (Kaiser?). They made a program called "FixUnreadCount". This app shows that it is checking all mailboxes (including sms/mms) on the WinMo message app and determines which messages are actually "read" or not.
Once I got to the "sms" portion of the scan, it found that all messages had been read, but the notification was set to "1". It fixed this and moved on to check my other messages on the phone.
After the scan finished, I noticed that TF3D still thought I had an unread message so I softreset my Touch Pro 2 and that was it. Touch Flo 3D had synchronized with the WinMo messaging app and determined that there were no "unread" messages.
I felt I would post this up here since I know there are a lot of Touch Pro 2 owners out there and none of the other fixes worked for me. I also hope that this can be found easily in a search because finding the fix in the hermes forum was almost dumb luck.
I posted a link to the thread that has the file available for download. It's a zip file. I just downloaded the file via Opera directly onto my storage card, then extracted the file and ran the file after extracting. You may get a warning that says "unknown publisher" just tap allow and it should run just fine.

Thank you, I've hard reset twice already because of this annoyance.
Thank you. Ran it once and after a soft-reset, all was fixed.
This fix worked for me to.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for the post!
Glad I could help. I know this was an issue that wasn't covered too well when I first learned about it. Making it easy for others.
Just use SafeInboxExtender
Once installed, go to your inbox (windows default, not TF3D), click menu, scroll down and click 'mark all as read'
That should do the trick, and its easy too.
i have been having this issue with my phone for months thanks so much for posting this, yur a life saver... really!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this soo much. I was about to flash my phone again cause I had this problem the first month I got my TP2 and looked online a lil' and could not find an answer... dat is why I luv this forum
I had this same issue and stupidly started a new thread without a thorough search (sorry).
Any ideas why it happened in the first place?
Well, I installed the SafeInboxExtender and clicked on Mark All As Read and the phone still says that I have one unread message. It didn't work for me. Any other ideas, guys?

So did you try FixUnreadCount followed by a soft reset, as in the first post?
Can someone please help me! I have downloaded this zip many times and it works for a few days then the phantom message appears again somedays totaling to like 5 new text so it says. Is there anything I can do to keep them away for good? I love my phone but this is driving me crazy!!!

Thank you! Awesome fix. I've had this problem with several WinMo phones from time to time, usually after receiving several automated texts, and always had to hard reset the phone to fix the problem, which in this case, with the Tilt2, would have been a major hassle getting it just the way I like it again.
I changed my settings to the default UI and then ran the exe file, then switched back to TouchFlo 3D, but the count was still wrong, so I performed the soft reboot like you suggested and again, it was still there, so I just ran the zip file again and it was gone with out another reboot.
Thanks again.
=)
works great thx a bunch
how to extract the file

Unread text in message fix
and easy fix for this Is safe inbox extender it gives you the option to mark all messages as read something the original option fails to do so download it and no more hard resets
Laters
thank god it freakin worked! ive had to deal with this for months now!
the first time i ran it, it said it had taken out the message on the scan so i exited the scan and did a soft reset, and it didnt work. so then i ran the scan again and this time did the reset before exiting the scan, and that worked like a charm. so if your havin issues with it try that. thank you again so much for that, im glad someone finally figured this issue out

go to tools, then file explorer and find the file, select it then press the menu button, one of your selections should say "extract" (select it), then youll get a screen askin where you want to save it, just to make it easier on yourself save it to your storage card, once this is done go through your program files again and you should see 2 files with "fixunreadcount" (one is the folder logo which you just extracted from, the other is a little window logo thing which is the actual file), select the file with the window thing and it will then run the scan, after that press the reset button on the side of your phone. if it doesnt work the first time (it didnt for me), run the scan again and reset again and it should work
In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?
You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.
You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.
ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks
Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!
This is similar I use at moment:

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.
That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks
just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data
So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?
I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.
its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but im new to xda forums, i tried a search but couldnt find much.
I had a G1, but just upgraded to the desire, wow its an improvement!!.
But with the email, it doesnt show my personalised folders in the folders tab, just trash, drafts, sent ect.. on my g1 is showed all my folders,
ive tried deleting and re entering the details a few times ive tried entering .com aswel as .co.uk (mines a .co.uk address, and only entering it as .com workedon my old g1)
But it still doesnt show the personalised folders. Any ideas on what im doing wrong? (Im on the uk vodafone network if that helps)
Also ive noticed that its also not filtering my spam emails, andim now getting alot of the junk mail pushed to my phones inbox mail, but online there still in the spam folder.
And lastly... (sorry) its not always deleting them from my online mail, just the phones mail, as when i check my yahoo onlkne the deleted messages are still there but are marked as read?
Again, sorry if this is an old topic, i just discoved this great site & havent read all the desire threads yet.
Ohhh, one last thing. I see the $ sign, bit how do i get the uk pound sign? It was on my g1 keyboard but not the desires.
THANKS!

the HTC Sense mail program is a bit flaky. try the default android one. It should do what you want, but it doesn't work with the Mail widget on the home-screen
http://rhedgehog.com/apk/email.apk
as for the £ symbol, when the keyboard is up, tap the 12# button in the bottom right to go to numbers and symbols
then tap 1/2 in the bottom left
£ is on the top row.
it can;t be moved unless someone has modded the HTC_IME to move it. there's a thread around here somewhere for that.
Thanks for the info on the £ location, installed that email app, but wouldnt complete email set up. Said free users arnt supported?

I'm just using rooted stock, if that matters..
Anyways, I turned off my phone last night, restarted it within a minute or two, and my HTC contacts widget was completely gone. I went to just re add it, and its not available in the widget selector either.
I just went through my phone with root explorer, and the apk is still there under system/app.... anyone know what gives?

Hi All,
I have just flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940 and sycronized my phone with gmail. Unfortunatelly my names appeare the other way around in my Desire (first name last name).
I downloaded this: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/namefixer and installed it with Astro. When I set everithyng up and hit "write names" is shuts down. I am searching the web for solutions for a while now, but found nothing.
I could fix this under the people menu as I can set how to sorte the names there, but I can not fix it under call.
Do you have any idea?
I have just checked that Desire see my contacts correctly last name is last name and first name is correct too. The question now is if I could soehow arrange the names for last name under the "call" menu too.
Thanks
On main screen(home screen) press phone then people then menu then settings and there you can change

It is clear under "people". MY question would be if you can change it under "phone"
Thanks
