Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and solve it? Is it something in my settings?

More information
I figured out if I do not include the original message by unchecking that box in the window where I compose the new email, the issue doesn't occur. It only seems to happen when I respond to certain emails...
I am on ATT, Samsung Galaxy S3, Android 4.1.1
Thanks again in advance,
Jeff

I have the same problem with a SG3 and I was looking for a solution for a long time. Believe it or not, I found this answer in a forum for Windows Phones! It is an issue of the length of the subject and for some reason it has to do with Google Sync. It is not a problem of the phone itself.
The only way to correct the problem is the following:
The issue happens when you reply to an email that has a subject in Greek which is more than 23 characters (including the RE: + space before the subject). It also happens when the subject is in English and more that 63 characters are used in total. Try to truncate manually the subject when you reply to a message that has any of the above character limit and you will no longer have the problem!!!
So in short, when you reply to a message, truncate the subject to less than 23 characters (including the RE:_) if the subject is in Greek, or to less than 63 characters (including the RE:_) if the subject is in English, before you send it. I am sure that something similar applies when other languages are used in Subject as well.
Hope it helps.

Thanks You!!!!

I thought I would NEVER figure this out! Thank you so much!!!
So this is only a problem with Gmail on Android or Windows Phone?
Can this happen on iOS do you know? Can it happen with yahoo or anything else?
Would using the Gmail app help do you think?
Thanks!

I am glad I helped! I had this problem since I bought the SGS3 and I could not figure out what the problem was.
As I found out this is a problem of Gmail on Windows and Android Phones. But I repeat, this problem occurs not because of the phone itself, but because of Google Sync (therefore Gmail itself). I really do not know if it can happen on iOS (actually I do not like iphone or anything that come with an "i" in front!).
Also, according to what I found it shouldn't happen with yahoo or any other email provider.
To answer your last question, it shouldn't happen with the Gmail App that is already on the phone. However, I prefer to use the stock email application, so I do not bother truncating the subject when it is too long.

how to change soft key in SMS application

i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.
This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...
I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................
There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.
As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.

Your Welome!
I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).
Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !
Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.

Spellchecker hides the original message - help

Hi all.
When i spellcheck my emails, the spellchecker takes-up so much of the screen that i can't see the word that is supposedly spelled incorrectly. What that means is; I can't see what word I'm about to replaced with one of the proposed spellings.
Does anyone know how to make it so that the spellchecker allows me to see both my originally spelling as well as the list of proposed correct spellings?
Sorry if this is unclear. I'm happy to try rephrasing if need be?
Thanks
-jm
Does no one else have this problem? If I'm just missing something obvious, please tell me.
I use my TP2 for business email (as i'm sure most of us do) and I really can't afford to send messages without spellchecking. Given the issue i'm having, running spellcheck is extremely painful.
thx.
-j
Yup, I have this problem too, noticed it last night.. together with the TAB key being missing off the keyboard... and the two locations required to switch in Delivery reports...
As for a solution, I don't know of one except getting rid of the touch flow... which im tempted to do - as once you get past the pretty'ness its "pretty" useless!
Alternate solution :
* To have both "Touch Flo 3D" and "the standard Windows Mobile menus"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu]
"CUIHandler"=dword:00000000
With the standard menus you see the text while spell checking, and you still keep touch flo (which I do find helps when using the TP2 as a one hand phone).
Harvey
HarveyR, *thank you* for replying with that suggestion. I'm going to try that tonight and report back.
Harvey,
That worked like a dream... thanks so much!!
At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth; can you tell me if there's any way to resize the font on the "menu" now?
What i means is, when composing a new message, if i click the "menu" button, the font is HUGE which means i have to scroll vertically to see all the options on that menu. Do you know if that font can be set to something smaller? If so, how do i do that?
thanks again Harvey.

Anniversary SMS (autosend)

Hi,
I am looking to find a simple utility that would send a pre-defined Birthday / Anniversary sms to my contact based on the dates already available in Windows Mobile Contact information.
I have tried searching on this forum and on the net but to no luck. Does anyone know of any such software. The closest I could get was RJ SMS Scheduler but it requires us to feed in a schedule. I wish to find something that can look up the contact list and pick dates itself.
Thanks,
Umesh

Message taken! you could say I am lazy, unintentionally though, mostly due to lack of time. Intentionally, I would like not to miss a single event of the 400+ contacts I have on my phone list.
Can only imagine how glad they would be to hear from me on their special days and how happy I would be to know that I would never miss any good wishes for any of my good friends.

I checked this software but it is quite similar to so many others available on net. It requires us to set up a schedule to send the sms to particular contacts.
Instead I am suggesting the app could pick dates itself from the Window Mobile's Contact List and send sms from templates, we create and save in there. This way we do not have to add birthdates / anniversaries to Contact List and then set up another scheduled sms through a third party application for our purpose.
I hope I have managed to explain what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Umesh.
Ah, I see what you're asking for now. I don't know of anything that can do that, but it would be a good idea!
Any thoughts from anyone else to share knowledge of such an application ?
Thanks.
Not that easy
I'm looking for such application since a long time, but no luck. The application should also consider the following requirements:
MUST HAVE:
- choose the correct phone number, cuz the text messages should be sent only if a mobile number is available for the specific contact;
NICE TO HAVE:
- built the text message with a variable string where automatically should put the name of the contact;
- should have the possiblity of exclude some contacts from the auto-SMS in order to avoid sending the pre-configured SMS to your girlfriend for example
Will see if someone can manage it in the future.
P.S.: I have more that 400 birthday to remember
Ciao!

Thanks Mohit for putting this together. I've set it on my system though had some issues with display on Touch HD but was able to use the controls and set it up. Couple of questions that I had in mind -
1. Does it have to be left running at all times or can I at least shove it off my running task list.
2. Every time I add a new contact and his / her birthday do I have to update this software too to add the new contact to it's list.
But otherwise it seems to be a nice piece of work.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Hi Umesh,
Thanks,
well no need to keep it running as i am using notification que to run it at the designated time. like an alarm. so u can just exit after setting up every thing from options->save n exit
and about updating new contact u just need to open the app and click options-> "add contacts bday", it will automatically fetch the new one and update it. also it will remember the last message u had set up.

[Q] LG G3 Short Texts??

I am new to this forum idea - so I apologize in advance if I'm not doing it exactly right. My question is; Why is it that a text that is about 50 words long has to send in three different messages? Is the reason the same as why I cannot send videos from my phone?
Thank You in advance for any advice or suggestions!

The reason you cant send videos is due to your carrier. Reason why iPhones can send videos to Android users is it downgrades to to crap so carriers will accept it. iPhone to iPhone is in full quality since its their own system. As for the 50 words being split, it all depends on how many characters total it is.

If you are using "special" characters like ê ü ç and so on the format is changed from ASCII to Unicode. Sending unicode characters consumes more data so you will send multiple messages even staying under 160 characters.
Try to refrain from using Unicode characters and you'll be able to send the usual 160 characters.

Teaching Google to Spell

Hey All:
There's some threads about contact recognition, but my issue isn't with Google misspelling a contact.
My one month old daughter's name is Raegan, as distinct from the former president's spelling of the name. Any idea how to make Google interpret texts to my wife, e.g. "How's Raegan doing?" to refer to my daughter and not to Mr. Reagan?
Even if it meant manually correcting the spelling on the watch a few times, I don't mind, but I can't figure out how to correct it on my watch.
Thanks!

I know it's not what you're looking for, but I have been able to successfully (most of the time) spell out words Android won't recognize. You could try it, Ok Google - Send text to [contact] - "how's R-A-E-G-A-N doing, question mark."
In fact I just tried it and it worked. Unfortunately since you're spelling it out for Wear, it won't automatically capitalize the name, and I had no success in dictating "capitol R."
