Text message SMS reply screen - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Does anyone else see this? When replying to a text message, the header of the message is scrolled off the screen and you cannot see who the message is intended for. I've looked for a registry setting but can't see anything relevant.
This could be embarrassing if sending to the wrong person!

I think its a design decision. When you choose to reply to a person, you obviously already know who you are sending the message to. So they decided it wasn't important to show the To: field, instead giving you a larger space for your message.
If its that important, just press the Up key and scroll up

Yeah, experience it as well but not that much of a bother...for the moment...

it is the same on TyTN II.

You hit reply a text, you know who you're replying to. It then means less of the screen is taken up with information that is of no real use and more is available should it be a lengthy reply.

I do agree with the OP though, it could be embarrasing. The option to turn it off would be good.

I think it's quite annoying. The screen is big enough to display both the recipient and the message anyway (at least for SMSes).
Anyone found any solution?

WM 6.1 and group (multiple recipient) txt msg burden

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

I totally agree, maybe someone with more skills than I can look into this and corrosponding registry keys?

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

Closing sms

Hi there,
I have tried searching to solve this problem but so far have had no luck. When I send a new message to someone on clicking the send button, it sends then the message then goes back to the reading pane. When I actually reply to a message and push send, the message sends but then the reply box comes up again as if it wants me to reply again! This is stupid and I wish that once i sent a reply it would also close. Would be even nicer if it went back to the home tab but just closing automatically would be nice.
Thanks
This is regular behaviour.
So there is no registry setting that can trick it into thinking a reply is a new message instead so it does close? I really don't get some of the choices made in windows mobile abd even more so why the user is not given more options.
Thanks
thread_sms
I have just been looking at the thread_sms.htm and compose_sms.htm
Is there anyway to figure out what difference between the thread view and the compose view causes the messaging window to close.
I really don't get why it doesn't go away of its own accord.
I'm also assuming no one has figured out how to make the sms send once you get back into reception.

SMS delivery notification

ok, dont kill me, the forum internal search did not spit out something seful ;-)
and google also not, and google sux!
my question:
i can tick the option, that i get every delivery of my short text checked, with an sms back, that the thing is done.
is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?
no extra sms?
may be just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
like on my sony ericson or so?
any ideas or solutions?
I don't know if I understood exactly:
1. in message: click on all messages, then MENU -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> select SMS/MMS -> request delivery notification
2. when you send an SMS, if you look at all messages, if it was not delivered, you'll see an unopened envelope. When delivered, you'll see the envelope opened
@1.
yes i did activated that "request delivery notification"
but at my windows phone, the notification comes as an extra sms back to me.
on my sony phone (not windows mobile!) it came back and changed the status icon at the saved sms inside the "sent" folder...
on winmobile i have an extra anoying sms in my incoming folder...
@2.
do you have it smoother looking like i described my sony situation?
thanx in advance
just remove the 1st of my points. The thing with the envelope happens anyhow ... I have no 1 deactivated. I know that on sony ericsson there would be a message to inform receival, but it wouldn't be saved. It was a good idea
if i deactivate the recive approve message, then i do not know if the sms is actually arrived on the other phone!!!!
the nevelope icon change is only on oyur own phone i guess, only sent or unsend is displayed there i guess... without any information interaction with the outside world of your isp!
let me see...
edit: checked. So, I have number 1 disabled and still, when I send a message, when it's not received the envelope is closed. When received, the envelope has a yellow letter inside. To check, send a message, and fast press all messages (the bottom left option) and then you'll see. Tell me if it works with your topaz
no!
its like i ve said...
if the message left my mobe... there is the open envelope with the letter inside...
windows mobile does not have some hidden usage of a feedback-recieving-back-sms that changes the envelope icon...
okay,m but when you tap all messages fast after send, do you see the closed envelope or you don't see it at all?
hm..
please tell me in detail what actions you mean i should perform to get the special behavior.
when i tap the send button.
my text is added under the rest of the sms conversation (like on my iPhone)
me and the other persons sms mixed like a chat....
when i got quickly to all the sms-conversation-list...
"incoming" (or so, i have a german phone)
every envelope is opened (marked read)
strange ... when I I send a message, it is stored in oinbox, and when I tap (in the same menu) all messages, the message that I sent is in an enclosed envelope and then, it turns into an opened one ... :-? meaning it is received, or so I think :-?
when u tab it, its typicall outlook beahvior, then it shows, that you did read it ;-)
not the other person...
but bad luck, that no one else is contributing here :-/
will do some experiments though ... :-?. I think you are right ... sorry for my mistake ... there must be some options not to save the notification. Will search
Use SMS reports eraser. It's free and deletes the delivery report after a defined period of time.
No fancy colors or such, but does its job nicely.
thank you for this. Cheers!!!
it does only erase the reports?
does it also change the icons or so?
where does it come from? webpage?
AAAAAAAAAAAAND
thank you, by the way!!! ;-)
ok... i used google after posting my message...
sorry ;-)
just deleting is one way...
any other smoother looking way?
should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529289
sorry, but do you really speak english and understand what you read and understand what you write?
do u understand the windows mobile and the pocket pc?
the thing you refer me too is again something different
that is a hotfix and directed you so that you should post there a question. Someone has tried it and maybe the HTC guys did something with the notification saved to messages. The idea was to ask there whether the messages were still saved. No matter, I'll ask 8-|
ok, sorry, u did mean well.
but again, the hotfix does something with the vibration, nothing else ;-)
no smooth designed coded solution for us ;-)

Queued SMS messaging

hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

its strange because this works fine on WM5

Quick reply to text has changed?

I didn't see a post about this so I want to see if anyone else is having this issue. When I first got the phone and was doing something on the phone and a text message came in, the top of the screen would drop down with the message and a bar to type to reply. For some reason now, when I am using the phone I get a really tiny floating text message and I can't reply to texts from the screen I'm on any longer. If I click the floating text message it opens the messenger app. Anyone else have this issue? Phone is completely stock and up to date.

To go back to how you want it, settings...display...edge screen...turn off edge lighting.
Or just use 2 fingers to pull down more options like "mark as read" and reply
