I've got the ATT Tilt running the original Kaiser ROM. There are a few (small) frustrations I'd like some advice on.
Currently, I'm running FlexMail full time, and PocketCM for a contact manager. These apps are rarely stopped. I have a feeling that FlexMail, PocketCM and the internal Messaging app are conflicting. Every time I receive a notification it comes immediately (tested with friends), but when I try to open a text in any of the three apps, there is a delay of a good 10+ seconds; if I try to compose a new SMS or reply to one, in any of the programs, the phone seems to freeze entirely for sometimes up to three full minutes; even after that, text entry via any method is very slow to respond.
I soft reset my device about every night, just to make sure it's running as quickly as it can. I find that the Messaging problem is persistent even immediately after a reset. My preference would be the have PocketCM quit trying to deal with SMS at all (every time I receive one, it switches to my contact list, and I hate that), and to use FlexMail to deal with SMS (but only if I can figure out how to deal with MMS as well in that app, otherwise the internal messaging is fine).
Also, recently when resetting I get the error immediatly after the HTC Home screen launches: "The file '' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have no idea what this belongs to!
Other information that might be useful - I've added the HTC Phone Pad to the device; I tried Pocket Informant and removed it, and am currently running SPB Pocket (which I will also probably remove). I've installed a number of other packages which I decided I don't need and removed, having kept just a couple emulators, PocketPuTTY, and Opera Mini (latest beta).
Sorry for the long post, but I LOVE this phone - it just sucks when you can't text quickly, my LG VX6000 was better at it *snicker*.. gotta make this thing zippier!
Hello, I am a very txt heavy person and i was just wondering if anyone knows of an option or software that acts like the blackberry message service, where it shows ALL the texts between you and the person (sorta like the facebook -wall to wall- feature).
Thank you.
Pocket CM does this kinda, maybe not exactly what your looking for but worth a look
Palm SMS is also very good.
Ahhh, you mean threaded SMS conversation!
Well, by default, WM6 doesn't have threading feature on its messaging application.
But if you'd like to thread your SMS, you could use the two alternatives mentioned here. And a few others.
Palm Threading SMS is awesome. I can't give you a link to it unfortunately, but if you snoop around this forum, I'm sure you'll find your way to the file.
Another one that's free, it's developed by a member here, is the IMSMS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333619
Give PocketCM, Palm (I prefer this), and IMSMS a try. But I find that Palm's Threaded SMS has a very nice (maybe the best) integration to the operating system. Meaning, it's installation on top of (not overwritting the default one, just overlaying) the default messaging application is very nice.
Thanks alot for the help, but the only problem with Palm SMS (im using shogunmark vrs.) is that it doesnt vibrate or notify me with a sound when i get a text message...so i have to always keep checking to see if i got any new ones.
Is there a fix for this? or am i using a wrong version or something?
Thanks in advance!

I'd look in Settings -> Sounds & Notifications and change it there. It's not really a program-specific setting, though it may make some changes. I've also found that it doesn't seem like changes stick around through a soft reset (sometimes). I can't explain that, and I'm no guru so it may be my fault anyway.

Umm, yeah, there is a separate notification event for the Palm threaded SMS than the normal message. But you set it in the same place. And yes, you can assign any ringtone to it or have it vibrate or both like any other notification.
It may not be obvious, cuz it gets cut off in the listbox. See selected Event in the attached pic.
As mentioned above. You get there via:
Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifications tab

Thanks jomo25, but the problem persists...i went to sounds & notifications and it shows that there is a sound notification and that it will vibrate with new incoming sms...but it doesnt do that...should i try a soft reset?
and did any of you guys notice that txts were getting delayed because of palm sms? as in...they take longer for you to recieve a text that someone sent?
If you've done that, then I don't know what the issue is. I've been using Palm threaded app for a long time and I get my SMS's "on time" and it does notify me per my settings. If anything, an SMS might be delayed by about 5 seconds. But no more than that.
You can try a soft reset. No harm in doing that. But it shouldn't matter. (Just an FYI - I do use MemMaid and I do a soft reset maybe every other day to keep the memory "clean". Just like a PC needs a reboot occasionally, most WM devices benefit similarly.)
One las thing - I keep the Palm app "minimized". I don't completely close it. If it's not running, it'll still fire up but could also delay getting the message by another 10 secs or so, cuz it needs to fire up the app. So, it's OK to close it completely, but since memory on the Kaiser is generous, its OK to leave it open also. And make sure not to completely close it immediately after sending a message. Sometimes it'll get stuck in the Outbox. Other than, no issues, with Palm, and I send and receive dozens of messages a day.

I did everything you said, but no luck...and i have been notified by my friends that they have sent me several sms's and i never got them at all, let alone have the sms delayed by over 10 minutes (average). I really like the app, but it's causing too many problems so i'm gonna uninstall it and try something else.
Thanks for your help anyway
All of your problems seem to be phone/carrier specific; that's my guess. Threaded SMS works fine on my ATT Tilt. I get all text's, fast, and with sound/vibrate notification.
Maybe it's your modded ROM.

I have the HTC TYTN 2, with the OEM ROM...i have not done 1 mod to it...weird.
Yes, VERY odd. It has worked for many other users as well.
Okay, yet another problem with this kaiser. This phone is acting worse then a problem child on crack since I reloaded 6 times because of me trying to get the weather in my area. Anyhow, since I gave up trying to fix the weather thing, I now have a message problem. I have deleted all messages from inbox and outbox, etc. But still the phone keeps saying I have one new unread message. I have powered the device off and also used the stylus to reset it from the bottom button, and still have no effect. What is wrong with this thing this time? Has anyone had this problem? I am running the stock HTC firmware with WM 6.1 and Update 23 of M2D Touchflo. Also have Update 20 addons installed to make things work, etc. TomTom, and other msc programs. Don't think they would effect this, since I had this setup before my phone starting to screw up.
Okay, I found the solution. If anyone else needs this then here is the website:
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/fixunreadcount.shtml
Description:
This utility fixes the unread count for every mail folder in every account on the device.
Some users have had problems with Inbox or the Today screen displaying "-1" unread messages, or displaying 1 or more unread messages when, in fact, there are none. This utility will detect and repair these discrepencies.
It's not flashy, but it does the job
Just power off device and restart it and it should be gone.
Hi all,
I have Tilt and I am very fond of messaging.
I was having a conversation through SMS with a frnd and when i was replying to one of his SMSs, all of a sudden hung a lil bit and all the SMS of his has gone.
Then later i checked, some people and sites who are regular with their SMS (3-5 SMS in day), those SMS are also gone but not the complete thread is being deleted.
I am not able to understand the pattern.
Is it like that each thread can contain only a specific number of SMSs.
And earlier i thought this might be a problem with my handset or s/w, but today one of my frnd who uses HTC 3400, had the same prob.
Kindly help. I had more than 1000 SMS in it.
Softwares installed:
SPB Pocket mobile shell 3
kaiser tweak
google maps
web cam plus

Abhishek
while you are looking for a solution, i suggest you backup all your text messages using "pim backup"...search for it on xda
this way, you will have a backup that you can restore in case the situation gets worse and your device starts "forgetting" even more text messages
Yes, i am encounter the same problem too, where my sms been deleted automatically after soft reset my phone. Why it can be happen? any way to solve this?
Phone: Dopod 810
OS : WM6.0

thanx buddy for the suggestion, but i believe ,anyones fate would not have fallen pathetically sick as mine. I had all the backups, but my hard disk also crashed.
anyways ..... still looking for a solution ... i believe theres a hidden bug in WM6.0 n 6.1
But it is hard to believe that no one till date has not escalated this issue.
Hope to find a resolution for it.
Cheers !!! (Hope if WM allowed us to)
Well lets just get to the meat and potatoes.
I just upgraded my phone from a Tilt(Kaiser) to a Fuze(Raphael). As we all know the Fuze comes stock with TF3D, well I always enjoy SPB Mobile 3 so I found a step by step guide to run both applications.
Now I seem to be having text message issues. If I try to read my new text under SPB mobile the new text messages wont be in my inbox, yet under TF3D it shows all my messages.
Another issue is no matter if im under SPB or TF3, my text dont alert. Meaning my text messages come in w/o notifying me, I have to constantly check my inbox to make sure I didnt miss a new text and its annoying.
I tryed searching to see if there is a fix or if this is a common bug but searching using keys words like text message or SMS is useless with so many threads open that have those words.
PS: Even before I installed SPB i having text issues. I even contacted AT&T about it and they ran a test and said everything was fine. They even sent me a text and I received it just fine. So im guessing it might be something in the software.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
you wont like the soultion ATT gave me but it workd, a hard reset. It was fine for me because i just upgraded to the new rom when i had the problem. Now everything is fine, I couldn't even send any before i did the reset but it worked.
