Delete Soft Key in SMS

I used to own one of the Cingular 8125's and when i was in the SMS program the left soft key would open a new message window, on the tilt is the delete key, is there any way to change this cause its really kinda annoying.

How to Easily Create a new text message?

I don't know if this irritates anyone else but I have to click on Menu > New > text message to start a new text message. This is rather annoying when trying to quickly send a message. On my old Cingular 8125 (WM5) the left soft key said "new" and led me straight to a new text message, though on my tilt the left soft key says "delete" which sometimes leads me to accidentally delete messages. Anyone know how to change the left soft key's function only in the messaging screen?
And on a side note, I have seen a bunch of posts about putting different ROMs on these phones. Could anyone tell me a few benefits for doing that? And does the process wipe all of your settings and data? (I use MS Exchange and T-mobile settings = pain to reconfigure)

many of the other roms out there are more stable and faster and come with different programs and settings changed
yes you will lose all the data on the phone, but not the memory card

I usually Dial in the name of the recipient of the text message using the "SmartDialer" then "LongPress" the name to take me to the context menu and finally select "Send Text Message"

i use schap's advanced configuration tool, and that can change the left/right softkeys.
(and also some other nice things)
or softkey applet.
happy new year!

I use a combination of the HTC Action app from the Touch (Dual?) assigned to the left soft key using Schap's Advanced Config so two presses gets me to either new email, new SMS, new MMS, new Appointment, New Contact, new Task or new Note.

You can use actionscreen and or pocketcm
I have them both especially pocketcm is an incredible piece of software

Change 'Delete' to 'New' in messaging

Hi, is there any way to change the left soft key in the messaging app from 'Delete' to 'New', like in WM5? I keep deleting messages by mistake.
Many thanks.

Go to Tools / Options / Message and tick in "Warn when deleting messages in the message list".
Also, make sure you rea all my articles - I think I've also mentioned this in the Mailer Bible.

Thanks for the reply.
However, your solution doesn't remap the soft key. Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to change the soft key from 'Delete' to 'New', as in WM5.
Thanks.

I don't know of any hack to do the trick. (The switch was a deliberate and, IMHO, very nice change between WM5 and WM6. I really welcome it as I need to use deletion to get rid of spam than create new mail or SMS.)
BTW, if you do tick in the checkbox, you won't be able to delete anything by mistake as you'll be shown a Yes/No dialog every time you (accidentally) press the left softkey.

but i was very used to the old way. and i don't delete mails on my device, since they get lost after a while anyway, so it should have been an option instead of getting forced to.

Yeah, i'd also like to do this, i pretty much never delete things, and wouldn't mind having to go into a menu to do it, but obviously i create new messages all the time. I'd also like it to technically be a "new SMS" button, since i rarely send picture messages, but since SMS and MMS are combined in WM6, it would have to specify...

Also wanting this, but all i can find on google & xda-dev is the same answers, you can easily map a today softkey to create a new message/e-mail/pop e-mail or even give you a "new" drop-down list. But changing the one in messaging.....cant fine any answers

I've settled for this:

How do I stop accidental email sending

When I'm compiling emails on my TyTN II, I find that often my email will be unintentionally sent when I'm only part way through due to a keyboard combination being used. Section 7.7 of the TyTN II user manual (page 134) refers to keyboard shortcuts and mentions holding down the S key is a shortcut to send the message but as in this (much) earlier thread I found relating to Accidentally pressing keyboard shortcut to send SMS, it refers to SMS sending and I'm having the issue with email. Is this pressing the softkey still the cause (I'm pretty sure it seems more like pressing a combination of keys around the S that are doing it in my case). More importantly, has anyone found a Cab, fix or even a WWE HTC ROM to stop this happening?
It's very annoying and I would have though some solution must have been found by now. I'll mention it in a letter to HTC but based on their past 'performance', I don't hold out much hope of a quick (or even eventual) fix from them. I'm therefore hoping for a solution from forum members so please let me know.

For me, its happened when i accidentally hit the send soft key between the R and T. I know its pretty bad sending half an uneditted email to a client and then having to send another email explaining why it happened and carrying on from there.. very unproffesional.
My solution to this problem is to simply cut and past the recipients email address from the to field to the subject field. Then once i'm done editing and everythings squared off and ready to go, i'll just cut and paste from the subject field back into the to field.
hope this little work around helps you. As for a hotfix or a confirmation message before sending it, i haven't heard of one.

I press that goddamn softkey all the time.....
It is really embarassing when you send a message half complete!
Good tip about the subject line

AEBPlus
I use AE Button Plus and have set the soft keys to ignore a single press. If I need to access the single-press application, then I just need to press on the screen.

Thanks for that work-around, that'll certainly do the trick if I remember to blank the 'to' field before creating the email. I've also emailed the AE Button Plus email address to see if they are willing to make a version of the product that works just with the TyTN IIs email and SMS program when thats in operation. I've also unticked the 'send messages immediately' box in my Windows Live Options on the TyTN II (since I use my Hotmail account through this device). I've found that this puts my email into the drafts folder and it's only when I then send the draft that it actually leaves - it's a bit of a pain though given keyboard short cuts are supposed to help rather than hinder.Definitely one for HTC and Microsoft to address.

message sending

hello iv just got the mda diamond and being bit thick i was wondering if theres any way i can send a text to all my contacts without adding them 1 at a time, cheers

group sms works for me
try it. it will add the option of 'add group' in the options part of sending a message
so start a new message after installing/soft reset
click the bottom right soft key
scroll down to the group thing
you will get it
