Frustrating - Anyone know how to make a call or edit a contact from an SMS??

Hi all, I'm finding it frustrating that there is no way to edit a contact's details or quickly make a call from viewing an SMS, is there a tweak/patch for this or am I doing something wrong??

close input program like keyboard, press up and down key to highlight sms, and press call

Solved.
Cheers, It's a bit annoying that you can't do it from the Flo view, and is a bit awkward, however this method also works to get to contacts too if you press the center button.
Thank You.

just press more (left buton)
in the list of sms's press the phone button. you will be able to call that person.
you do not need to close the keyboard.

If u dun close keyboard u cant select the message, u'll highlight text instead

what about just hitting the green button key ? that works for me

when i press more in the tf3f sms screen i go to the sms list.
if i have a keyboard there or not does not make a difference.
as soon as i press the call key, i can make a phonecall. to the selected person.
if i press up or down the next message is selected and i can call to that person.
what are you doing different?

perhaps your message is already highlighted. u can only call, forward, etc, when the message is highlighted. U'll see a lightblue highlight on the message.
When u're replying a message, no message is highlighted, hence, no forwarding etc

but when you reply to a message you are in a different screen.
i am talking about the sms overview.
so to call someone you received a message from it is only two clicks, instead of 1 click as the first poster wanted.

lol, probably misunderstanding. we both obviously have no problems and threadstarter also no problems already, so, case solved lol

Thanks everybody for your input, yes the solution works.
If I'm in the single SMS mode (i.e. the SMS "old style" list I have no problems accessing contact details or making a call.
The threaded SMS mode proves to be more difficult, however by highlighting a message (either pressing up, or down then up, or closing the keyboard) then you can access the number by pressing the call button.
The Quick SMS view in the HTC FLO mode though proves the most difficult only allowing you to select the message to open up the Threaded SMS view. This is the mode I wanted to make a call directly from or access there details, however I don't think that is possible.

Quick access to SMS?

Hi!
I'm quite desperate. I'd like to start SMS on my Kaiser with one or two clicks. So please recommend me how to make my SMS box the default message box (I'm not using MMS, who does anyway... I mean SMS are so much more popular) and/or direct "Compose a new SMS" or so. I also use HTC Home. Ideally I'd like to add a button in HTC Home which would directly open a new SMS (not MMS).
And yes, I did use Google "site:forum.xda-developers.com Kaiser SMS" + various combinations of words "default", "folder", "quick", "fast", "button", "MMS"...
I also tried several registry and other things tweakers.
Thanks
Btw, if you could recommend an application for quick taking notes, something like primitive drawing or so... PhatPad maybe?

um htc home (with the big clock) has it with one click..

I don't really understand your request, but this might be what your after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
EDIT:
Also,
When viewing your SMS's do: Menu, Tools, Options and Untick "Display account picker when opening Messaging".

Try installing HTC action screen. It will map the left softkey to be able to create new mms/sms/email/apointment/contact, all with one click of the button. That might be what you're looking for.

Hi,
I am also quite desperate for this. I will try to explain what is that we are after.
When composing a new SMS message we need to follow the following steps.
1. Go to Messaging Application
2. Select SMS \ MMS
3. Click on Menu
4. Click on New
5. Now we need to select SMS from the list that shows MMS / SMS / Voicemail.
Now here is the problem, we would like to have SMS as the first option if possible (It helps save the click I need to do, if I am using the D-Pad), Alternatively, a direct link to just start composing a new SMS message directly without going through multiple menus.
Thanks

Hi,
I missed the link of my previous post (#3). Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
The link was to a CAB to create a "New SMS" link on the left or Right soft key.

wow, from the main screen I tap 4 times with my finger and I'm good to go. That really isn't that much work.

Well, I click on the the envelope icon (1), then I have to click on "Menu" (2), "Go To" (3), "Text meddages" (4), "Menu" (5), "New" (6). This makes SIX clicks.

for me,
Envelope, menu, new, and sms..
Done.

After clicking the envelope, if it opens to email press the 5 way to the right and it will bring up SMS.

cannot reply to unread sms!

Hi,
I had my diamond fixed with HTC since the device would not be able to connect to the network anymore. Since I have it back, I cannot reply to unread SMS anymore like I used to:
I get an SMS, and click on the messages-line in my today-screen (touchflo is off), or on the notifyer. It opens the SMS-thread and displays the new SMS with a light-blue background. If I want to answer by clicking into the text-field, the cursor wont appear and I cannot write. In order to reply to the SMS, I have to _ALWAYS_ first close the message app again, re-open it and then it works, after the unread mark is cleared and there is no blue background anymore behind my latest SMS... any idea what to do and how to get back to the old way where I was able to reply immediately?
thanks

any idea on this?

Did you find a solution to this problem?
I am dealing with the same issue and it is quite annoying!

Mmmm me to on this one - anyone any ideas?
For me this occured after upgarding to the latest ROM

I think I'm having the similar problem - see my post>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580167

Solution
Hey,
i had the same problem and by chance found a workaround.
When opening an unread SMS you have to:
FIRST: Open the keypad / keyboard
SECOND: Tab the text/reply field
This way the cursor should appear and you should be able to type your answer.
Hope, this helps.

Text message resend..? Help?

Is there any cab file out there for the AT&T tilt that would allow a message that can't be sent, due to no service, or receiving another text at the same time, ect... Is there any cab that would allow me a message resend button as opposed to having to open the drafts, open the text, send the text, open back up the inbox...?
If this doesn't exist, can anyone capable of writing code create me this hack? It would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced!

windows mobile 6.1 + "threaded" text messaging
if you are using a WinMo 6.1 ROM, threaded text messaging is enabled by default (if not enabled, use KaiserTweak to enable threaded messaging).
i clearly remember (because it has happened with me TWICE) that the threaded messaging view will display any unsent messages (within the thread) in RED color and will provide a clickable link labeled "Try again"...the function of the link is self explanatory
the combination of events you are talking about (sending a message exactly when receiving a message and/or a phone call) is RARE but it DOES happen...fortunately, i don't mind using the threaded messaging view and i get the resend link (in case of transmission failure for whatever reason) as a bonus
hope this helps...good luck!

It's not necessiarily rare to me as I text all the time, haha. I know what you're talking about, but I don't like threaded text messaging. It becomes slow and sluggish after a while. I highly appreciate the suggestion though!
Does anybody know of a program that would allow this tweak?

Quite some time since I used Arcsoft but didnt they have a resend feature (could be some of the later ed.)? Or am I wrong and it was a feature on 6.1? If it was on 6.1 you could still use it for just that by switching off treaded view.

I do have arcsoft MMS, but how would i go about using it to turn off threaded view SMS and keep the "try again" or resend button?

Ok hold on, will make a cab for you.

Raiisak`s En/Disable Treaded SMS

Thanks a ton for making that, but I have kaiser tweak and I am able to en/disable threaded SMS. Thanks tho.
Is there a cab that you could make me to add a popup window to my screen when a message is unable to send that simple let's me resend it instead of automatically move it to the drafts? This seems to happen alot seeing as I text alot. Thanks in advanced for anybody can help!

Reason I made the cab was to simply add on/off the treaded sms whitout making any change to the notification status for you by simply create this DWORD in youre reg:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:00000000

Click to collapse
Arcsoft_MMS 5_0_31_81 w/ treaded ON had the function to ask if you wanted to resend sms/mms if failed. Try to install that and run my cab and see if the red text comes up comes if the sms fails to send. Chance are that this will solve much of youre problem, other than that I would recomend to try another radio if you have severe signal issues

Sorry for the stupid question but um when you say new radio... You mean....?

If you use custom rom they come whit variouse radio, not always will the given radio work smoothly in youre country and phone. I would read up on this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182 and also the OP of the used rom to see if there is any recomended radio for youre phone or country. If none found I would ask in that tread. GL

Is there any way to auto resend a failed message? either for a certain time or an X amount of resends?. My phone constantly goes in and out of service. I dont want to have to keep my phone in my hand waiting for service to kick in then resend.

Auto Close SMS

Is there any way to have messaging closes after I hit send on a message. I hate having to close messaging every time I send at text.
Also would like to know is there any way to get the phone to close quicker when you hang up.

Don't know about closing the SMS app automatically, but you can send new messages or reply to received messages without opening the messaging app altogether, so you don't have to worry about closing the app when your done.
While in the TF3D Messaging TAB, simply hit the icon on the right edge of the screen a half inch from the top, looks like a message bubble with a pen.
To reply to a message, simply have the message displayed on the screen and press the Menu option, bottom right, and select reply. When you hit send, your automatically back to the TF3D TAB.
I find I only have to open the messaging app itself once in a great while.

well i don't have TF3D on my phone but i created short cuts for my most common texted people and when i press the short cut it automatically pops up with the person info filled out so i type what i want and hit send then it closes automatically

what I would like to know is if there is a way to keep it from telling me I have unread messages while I'm using thread mode. I'll be having a conversation with someone and it says I have 10 unread messages because I didn't click the title of each individual one because it is in a single thread.

I would like to know the answer to this as well, as it is quite annoying!

I think that in Eten was app send sms or SMSSender which allow you create new sms and after send didn't open messaging window. maybe someone have cab here.

For SMS, just press "OK" (h/w keyboard) or Home instead of the "X" - I've changed the X behaviour to only close the app if I press AND hold the X.
For hanging up calls more quickly, there's a registry tweak that changes the number of milliseconds... I think this is where it was described:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-354596.html

I think it could be done via Mortscript.... please post in DEV forum if you find a solution as this could be used by all
