Can anyone suggest a method or plugin that will alow me to initiate send/receive from a Today screen button or perhaps a hardware button? This is to avoid having to go into messaging, then pulling up the menu, then selecting send/receive.
I currently have email scheduled for download every 30 mins., and do not want it more frequently, but would like to easily get it on demand many times.
TIA

I know that this was addressed before, but after searching LITERALLY for about 30 minutes I cant find the registry edit needed to make the email tab in HTC Home default to Outlook (and not whatever the last previously used messaging program was). Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
bump, someone please reply
bumping..........
I recall this being discussed quite a bit in the Hermes forum, and my conclusion was that the email icon has a mind of it's own and is not controllable by any reg settings or xml file. On my Hermes, it would always open the last one I used, but on the Tilt (with a later build of HTC Home) I always get the 'select an account' screen.
no matter, use the hard button for messaging. easier to hit without the stylus anyway. just keep hitting the button to cycle through your messaging accounts.
while looking for something else, i stumbled on this tidbit...
When I press the Email button on the "Home" tab, it takes me to my MMS/SMS messages. How can I fix this?
This is a known issue with the HTC Home Plugin. The workaround is to create a POP account on your device, then press the Email button again. It should now take you to your email messages. You can then remove the POP account if unneeded.

i use outlook on my Tilt, when i get email i get a pop like notification every few minutes, and i can selet dismiss or view(or something like that) is there a way to stop that notification popup? also i have my phone light set to turn off after 2 minutes, which it goes into a standby type mode, basically the same thing as when you hit the power button on the right side once how it stand byes until u hit it again, when it does that i cant receive messages, my send/receive is set to check every 5 minutes, but with it in this standby type mode it wont send/receive to get new messages until i basically wake it up, is that a way to get it to send/receive while in this mode?
for your first question: SEARCH THE FORUM !!!!!!!
just kidding (but if you do you'll find your question answered a few times...):
You have to go to Settings/Personal/Sounds and Notification, select New e-mail from the combobox and uncheck the box saying "Display message on screen"
For your second question: I don't know but there are more people complaining about this
thanks man, appreciate it, i guess i had to make things more complicated than they really are lol
I have the same problem. My device (TyTn II) is set to download mails "as items arrive" from my Exchange server. I always have my device in standby-mode using VJDevicelock. The problem is that when it is in standby it doesn't receive e-mails. I then wake it up and suddenly get a barrage of mail.
Search the forums, there was a long thread on this that has sort of died out. Basically, the fix has been identified (we think) and is in the KaiserTweak app. Basically, get the latest xml version of KaiserTweak, and in there are options for "Notifications": change the values under notifications to somehting other than 1 second, and it should fix the problem. Also, it could be a result of having the HTC Home screen installed (if you're using a tilt and installed it as a separate app), the Task Manager seems to contribute to this issue as well (disable it by going to task manager and uncheck the "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen", and a third possible cuplrit is having the "automatic set time zone and dater" option checked on in Settings > Phone. (This has not bothered mine, but others reported that it did.) But, if I were you I'd start with teh Kaisertweak settings and remove the HTC HOme screen (if installed), and go from there.
Hi
I'm using a norwegian version of this device, default HTC rom, not branded.
I've installed MioMap, AlenSoft QuickClock and HTC Dark Phone Pad International.
I use both the keylock and press the "off" button to turn off the display when I'm not using the phone.
Then after a month use without any trouble I find that from time to time the display turns on by it self. Not any scheduled callendar events, no new sms/mms, no new call (or missed call) and no sound alert, just the display turning itself on. But, if I go into the message center, it tells me that I've one new sms.
This is frustrating, since I often get sms messages related to work operations and rely on getting them in time. And it's frustrating to have to check manually all the time for new sms'es and not be able to rely on the phone telling me that I've got a new one.
So why don't the phone alert me with sound since it for sure have recieved a new sms? (yes the sound is on) And I guess it's the underlaying phone application that doesn't repport to the quickclock application (that displays the number of new sms'es on the home screen), so I don't see it even there, have to go all the way into the messaging application.
Another thing.
Active Sync is also running without my permission from time to time.
I don't sync my phone very often (just for file transfer) and I have unchecked all elements so that it should not need/try to sync them.
I also find that the device is slowing down after 5-6 days. The respons on my screen tapping is slow and not precise. I don't have many files and try to delete the inbox/sent elements/deleted elements every other day to keep it small. I do have a storage card, sandisk 6GB micro sdhc. (working great).
I suspect that this has to do with active sync running in the backgrund when not needed, so I go to start - settings - system - memory, select running programs and end the active sync from there. After a couple of minutes the device is up to speed again.
Any thoughts on this problems? Solutions?
Thank you for any feedback on this.
When i enter an sms the t9 automatically gives me suggestions for words.
which is fine.
when i send my sms the last suggestions stays open. it covers the sms i just send and i cannot clearly see if i have sent the sms or not.
also it indicates that i should send my sms, because the suggestion is seen as a new sms.
is there a way to close the t9 suggestion when the send button is pressed?
I haven't tried it yet, but there is an option where you get a confirmation when your sms is sent.
Maybe that will solve your issue?
i have noticed this as well. If you don't press the centre button to select the last suggestion before you send, the suggestion bar stays there.
not exactly the end of the world, and once i got used to pressing the centre button when i had finished typing, instead of not selecting the word and just hitting send, it has never happened again.
not perfect, but you just need to learn to hit the centre button instead of just hitting send without selecting the word you want.
Hello all,
I've been using my E-mail option quite a bit on my Touch Pro lately, and I've noticed that the 5 minute update interval is a bit too long for my taste (despite the option to manually send/receive).
Therefore, I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to make a registry edit, install a program, or in any way add an option to make the update interval less than every 5 minutes (say for example, every 30 seconds)?
Also, whenever there is a new e-mail, there is a notification symbol which appears on the taskbar. Along with that, is it possible to create another registry edit / addition which would allow the phone to:
1) wake up upon new e-mail,
2) make a notification sound upon new e-mail (similar to new SMS), and
3) vibrate upon new e-mail?
FWIW, I'm using a Comcast E-mail account on the Pro.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Just go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications, the notifications tab and change the Event to Messaging: New Email Message. Have 'play sound' checked and choose the sound you want; check Display message on screen and check vibrate. i think that will do it.
As for checking for new emails, you can try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970
I have an exchange server so I don't know the answer otherwise. Setting it to less than 5 minutes may lead to a battery drain so if you do that use the scheduler to make it longer (or off) over night.
Thanks for showing me the settings adjustment. I suppose it isn't such a good idea to have the phone check for e-mails THAT often. As long as I can hear when a new e-mail has arrived, it should do the trick for me.
