Hi all,
I went by suggestion and reviews from xda-dev users and gave WEBIS' Flexmail a try. I hated it. I have more reason to hate it now. It broke my messaging.
It seems that when you install it it overwrites the standard TMail.exe file and links into it. When I uninstalled it, it didn't uninstall correctly, first off, and second it didn't restore my inbox back to normal. I'm not worried about the messages I potentially lost, but now I have no mail client.
I'm not sure if just replacing the tmail.exe file is going to be enough. can someone post the tmail.exe from their windows directory. I am using Summiter's latest rom (yes the one installed with the multi-installer)
Thanks ahead of time.
SOLVED:
I fixed it guys...
Aparently (the reason I tried this) the Orig tmail.exe file was in ROM. When it was replaced by the tmail.exe file that Flexmail installed just "covered" it. I had to use Resco File Explorer to change the "System" attribute on the file but then removed the file, soft reset and low and behold I have my normal mail application back.
I still can't use more than 5 POP accounts though..... Oh well.
I still have the Icons for Flexmail as the icons for the messaging app. anyone know where the icon is stored for the default messaging app, and how to change it back?

Hi All,
I've installed HTC Random Access and it does replace WM6 contact manager for the phone application (and soft-key on Today screen). How can I force it to replace the "contact manager" when sending Text / E-mail messages? It still uses the WM std. one, which has the top row with A-Z instead of the right column?
Thanks!
did you make the registry change that makes radomaccess become the default contact manager, or did you just install the RA cab file?
Registry keys...

I just installed the CAB. Couldn't find the registry changes necessary. Searched the forum with google, but only could find the registry keys needed after failed uninstall... Can you (re?)-post the keys needed? Point me to the right place please??
Thanks!

Hi:
I'd love to get random access working in sms contacts also.
I made the following reg edit after installing random access, and mine does not work in sms contacts either. Am I missing another edit which needs to be made?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
1="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"
Thanks!
Works on phone, not on SMS
Still, after trying all registry keys I could find, none would make poutlook and tmail use the "default" contact manager (RandomAccess). I had the 1 = RandomAccess after installing the cab and it works both on Today and Phone, but not from tmail/poutlook... Maybe they runs it's own contact manager and doesn't even look for the system standard??
yep, I just tested it too, when adding a contact to a sms/mms/email it uses a bulit-in call to the contact database and doesn't use the default contact app to display it. I've seen other apps do the same thing, they just make use of the contactDB.
Hey all,
so i have two very strange issues...
1. Bluetooth OBEX - I can send FROM the phone to any device (That supports it) but I cannot send anything TO the phone from any device. Typically i will get a generic "Device does not support OBEX" error message
-- I have tried sending paired, and not paired
-- I have verified that filesharing is on, and all of my bluetooth options are enabled
2. SMS's not in order - When I installed my current rom (see my sig) And used PIM restore to put my SMS's back, they are not in the order that the conversation happened. If you look @ each day. the messages appear their's first for the day, then mine... its kinda weird.
-- In some instances I dont even see the messages that were sent to me. When I tried making PIMBackup to restore the messages again it said they were already there. I have received some new SMS"s that I dont want to wipe out if I can avoid it but i've never seen this before and it makes no sense
Another thing.. where do I edit the size of text on context menu's ? (asside from the start menu which was using LargeStartMenu)

Hi there,
1.Not all devices are bluetooth 2.0 compliant and I have the same problem sending from older devices.
2. SMS's order can be set in main screen. Select Received on top right
3.Text size can be changed under Start>Settings>System>Screen
There is a tab for font size at the bottom with a slide bar. I have set mine to 2nd last notch from right.
Hope this helps.

Hey MAC, thanks for the reply
for the bluetooth item, this is from my brand new dell laptop or even another att tilt. Even my friends 8125 that was working on some other roms i have problems with now.
the SMS issue is not on the inbox screen its on the actual message history screen. So if I click on an item in my inbox it brings up the coversation thread. In there it shows all of my friends messages first then the ones I sent in reply so instead of .... them... me .. .them.. me. its them... them.. them.. me .. me.. me ... its kind of weird
I had already checked the text size on the screen page. It was set to normal, but the menu's are still huge (see screenshot)

I see re the bluetooth issue. Nt sure as my laptop sends and receives fine from my TyTN II.
If you are using threaded sms then I can't help as I have normal one.
I see you are also using WK Task which comes with the Kaiser. I have removed that and opted for Quickmenu. It is MUCH better, smaller and gives you cascading menus like in Windows XP/Vista. It is also freeware. (File attached). Just place all the files in the zip archive to a folder anywhere on your device, create shortcut if you want, but I suggest you place a shortcut in the startup folder.

Yah I've been working on the BT issue since yesterday with no luck
I am using threaded SMS which is why its annoying me that the messages are not appearing in order...
I use WK task in tandem with QuickMenu... I love quick menu, but I still cant figure out how to fix the font sizes... its every context menu not just the tray apps... even my resco context menu is huge and i have to scroll it to do stuff its kind of irritating
Thanks for the suggestions tho, I hope someone has a solution for me, I really like this rom and dont want to change it
Ok So I just discovered that I am completely retarded and forgot to check the "Accept all incoming beams" option in the beam control panel applet... now, how do I go about fixing my SMS messaging issue and chaning the fonts for the menus? They are HUGE!
Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on these other two issues? My threaded messaging not being threaded in the right order is really starting to irritate me I can use SK tools to see that all the messages appear in the database but they dont show in messaging correctly

Yup when I restore my Messages its not in order. I truly believe its because of how PIM restores the Messages. All Received First Then all Sent. So to the Device it IS in order. I've posted this thought in the PIM Backup thread. I don't think they've got it figured out yet. Sorry.

Actually I just finished fixing the PIM Backup issue too.. its kind of a known issue with 6.1 If you restore everything but your messaging DB. Clear your messaging DB in the messaging app. Terminate the messaging app process then run PIM restore... run the messaging app and let it rebuild the threads it seems to work.. Also make sure that you set your regional date settings to what your normally set it to BEFORE you run PIM backup... some people believe that this may also be the issue.... so process is...
1. Flash
2. Restore all of your data using PIM backup EXCEPT messages
3. Open messaging and clear your SMS boxes
4. Terminate the messaging application
5. Do your PIM Restore
6. Open mesaging
Worked for me!
1 more issue to go and thats the large menu font size!
here is the thread (and post) I found it on : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1903404&highlight=Create+threads.#post1903404

Yup that only works 40% of the time for me.
Hi everyone, i hope this hasnt been resovled before, but i did a few searches and came up blank.
Ive had my TyTn II for quite a while now, and managed to rock up 48000 SMS on it, which stuffed up the memory, making me do a hard reset. But now i have a different problem.
I tried to delete all my SMS, which was about 14000, as i didnt want a repeat of what happened last time, but after a long tiime the SMS appeared to delete, so i did a soft reset, and about 6900 SMS remain, all in sent items. i tried again, and the same thing occoured. also once after resetting the SMSes that i sent/recieved the past day dissapeared.
Has anyone expierenced a problem like this? i think its a corrupt SMS in the Data files somewhere, but i really dont want to fish out a particular one, or hard reset my phone again.
And FYI im running the stock 6.1 TyTn II AUS ROM (Rom version 3.29.710 WWE)
Thankyou for your help
not completely sure whats going on but i have a suggestion worth trying out...
assuming your requirement is to keep a clean house with a minimum number of text items in your inbox and sent items, i imagine you would like to archive those messages (as opposed to simply deleting them) as a bonus.
search for "pimbackup" here on xda and download it and install it to your device. pimbackup has two kinds of backup operations:
1. backup and keep existing items
2. backup and REMOVE the backed up items
try option 2...this way, you will have an archive of all those text messages and you can let pimbackup handle the mass delete operation...who knows, maybe it will "stick" better than a manual mass deletion.
good luck!
i thought when u delete messages it just goes to the deleted folder not really off the phone go to that folder in messaging and delete them from there or from the pc.
Yes, but the default limit for deleted items is 50 messages. then it starts rolling them off and deleting...
Hi all..
I've tried searching to no avail.
Only today I can't seem to open any SMS in Threaded SMS mode. Whenever I tried to use Reply or Open any sms, nothing happens.
After disabling Threaded SMS, I'm able to open any SMS.
Any1 encounter such problems before?
I'm using PDA Corner V19 (I think) Win 6.1.
Had no problems for so many mths using the ROM.
Thanks in advance.
just an update of what I did before the problems started:
think problem started when I edited threaded_sms.htm to delete the word count as per what I'd read from http://www.fuzemobility.com/page/4/
here's part of the post...
So you can do this tweak in one of two ways. You can overwrite the file thread_sms.htm with bradyonly’s file (or if you’re using 6.5 then use hibby50’s) or you can just do it yourself. The DIY method is pretty simple. Just open up thread_sms.htm (you can copy this file to your desktop and open it in notepad or if you’re using Total Commander locate the file and then press the pen/paper icon at the bottom and it will open in notepad on your phone). Then locate the line that begins “<Inbox: content id=”COMPSESUBJECT” width=”98%”… and delete the single word “count” from that line then hit ‘save’ (or if you used your PC then overwrite the file) and soft reset your phone. And you’re done.
I did make a copy of the original threaded_sms.htm file. Once my threaded sms had problems, I had copied back the original file.
But it still didn't work...
i have problem with my message is can't open new message anh reply
So. how do it fixing?
I had the same problem few days ago.. I received two sms and after them I had immediatelly received an mms, so all of the previous sms were gone and the mms was looking as the first message in the conversation. But there were still two unread messages.. I wasn´t able to get to them until I turned off threaded sms via registry.. I didn´t know what to do, so I had to do HR
I am having the same issue on a Niki 100, anyone with any idea of the solution?
I hadn't editied anything, just flashed the ROM and I can only use SMS in non-threaded mode.

I miss having threaded sms haha
cos it's a good way to keep track of my sms chat conversations wif my contacts

If you miss it that much hard-reset is the solution.
Well, I am currently having the following problem. I think it started after using MTTY and upgraded my stock 2.03 NL ROM to Gen.Y R3. I received several complaints from friends that they sent text messages and that I did not respond. The text messages didn't appear in my inbox, so I was very curious if what happened then.
I found out in the Gen.Y thread that user tomoffel had the same issue. He also had a solution for this issue: Don't use PIMbackup but MyPhone from Microsoft. The text messages where visible with a program called SKTools, option databases and folder "fldr32000023". I therefore hard-reset my device, flashed the new R4.1 ROM from Gen.Y and synced my device with MyPhone. Unfortunately the issue still existed, it worked fine for about 3 messages and the 4th one disappeared in the hidden folder fldr32000023.
The things I have tried/investigated:
- Folder fldr32000023 doesn't exist after hard-reset but is created after receiving first text message. The fldr32000023 is stored in cemail.vol
- With SKTools I can not delete the folder fldr32000023, I can only make it empty
- Hard reset won't help
- Used about 4 different ROMs except stock, all having the same issue
Only thing I can try is flashing original ROM again, I don't have any other option left. Or is there anyone who knows what to do?
Thanks!
thats one of the poutlook databse folders, its hidden cuz its a system folder and should be there, so it just proves that your device has received the msgs, maybe its a hardware problem
I don't know if it is a hardware problem, tonight i will try the stock ROM again with hard-reset. If this still doesn't solve the issue I think i'm going to send it back to HTC or something..
