Hello,
Has someone else encountered charset problem with "htc mail 0.97" ? That's the default mail app in htc branded magics (mine is TIM italy htc branded), and I have noticed the default charset is set in Chinese, no matter what language you choose (amongst english, italian, spanish: those are the 3 languages included with my phone).
The bug basically is that if you reiceve a text-only email with no charset specified [this happens mostly for automated emails like the one you reiceve from a web server (i.e.: forum notifications, and such)] then the htc mail software will display it in chinese characters, and there's no way to change this behaviour.
I have submitted sort of a bug report to HTC, but i don't know if this will obtain any result.
Do you eventually know any very good and solid alternative as an email software which will allow you to set a default charset ?
Thanks for your help.
(Just in case someone would be interested in the future)
HTC's answer of my bug report was quite hilarious. They suggested me to use another software. You have to admit that was a brilliant way to answer a bug report for their own htc mail software, i mean..
I installed K-9 and the problem seem solved, anyway. The original HTC Mail bundled with the magic is quite a buggy imap client compared to K9 mail, infact often it even "forgets" to check mail at the specified interval, this won't happen with K9 software.
All in all I am happy this way, though HTC demonstrates once again they work in a crappy way, with little or no attention to details and no support for their customers as long as they're able to keep selling their hardware. In two months they have ten further new models out in the market and they'll forget about you.
I eagerly wait for the new sony ericsson, motorola and other brands android phones.
I noticed this problem as well and run K-9. I have however found the Hero mail app to be fantastic if there was a way to pull that out and get an apk of that you would be happier then with K-9

Fist off, let me apologize for yet another IM thread. But I have looked and done research and am stuck. You all are the peeps with the answers, so I am asking this here. Again, sorry for another IM post....
I am looking for a Mobile IM client that works over the GPRS data network, not SMS, that has a way to inform users that I am on my mobile device. From what I have seen, the only IM clients that will do this are the SMS based mobile clients. Which does me no good as I need Gtalk (Jabber) as well as AIM etc...
So my next thought was to use a different buddy icon for the IM client on my phone as opposed to when I use Gaim/Pidgin. Only I cannot seem to find one that support buddy icons on the mobile device.
Am I simply SOL and need to deal with the fact that ppl will not be able to tell I am mobile unless I go with the SMS client?
Lastly, I use 2 AIM accounts, one personal and one for business. It seems as though no Mobile IM client will let you use more than one AIM profile at a time. Does anyone know if this is actually the case. I have tried Mundu and IM+.
Thanks for any help you can give.

My understanding with mundu is that you can use multiple aim accounts with the paid version. While I can't verify this on WM6 yet, I was able to do this on my palm.
BTW, don't you wish Pidgin would port already.
Yeah Pidgin would be really nice
I do have a retail ver of mundu im. I got it from handango last friday on Free-App friday. I don't know it it's exactly the same as the paid version, but it did let me update it today when the newer version came out. Are you using the version for PalmOS or for WM5?
Are you running the PPC or the SP version? I was able to use my Free-App Friday code to unlock the PPC version available for download directly from Mundu.
Unfortuantely I have noticed that this IM app, as "pretty" as it is, uses about 4X as much memory as Octro/Agile and still lacks a today screen plugin.
FWIW, I also got Mundu on free-app friday. I wasn't clear on what version I was getting from them (smartphone or PPC), so I downloaded the PPC version directly from Mundu's site, then applied the registration key Handango had emailed me to that version. So what I have should be identical to the "paid" version, but I can't find a way to sign on to the same service twice with two different IDs.
The bigger problem I'm having is, I have a friend who just got a Treo Centro, which comes with some kind of AIM messenger built in. When he messages me, I can't see his message. I get the the line that shows his id and the timestamp, but the actual text of his message is blank. He gets my messages, I get messages from his phone if I'm logged in from a PC, I get messages in Mundu if he sends them from a PC, and I and another friend of his with (an unkown phone) also gets his messages if he sends from his phone to his friends phone. But Mundo seems to omit the message if the message came from another phone.
That was my experience as well. Oh well... looks like we sit and wait for a port of Pidgin.

I've asked this a couple other places, with no success yet...
What does it take to do MMS on one of these things? I've had Arcsoft MMS Composer suggested many times, but FINDING the thing has been impossible. Arcsoft goes on about it at length on their website, mostly about how various mobile providers are bundling it... but mine (Telus) isn't. They don't have a trial download, they don't list it in their store, they don't list anyone who sells it, and they don't even list a price (MSRP or otherwise).
So, does anyone know where I can find this thing? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount) for a legitimate copy, IF I could find it!
Or suggest something else that might work...?
Thanks.
I know nothing about MMS. But I may have two leads.
I was just looking in a thread about YouTube on the S730, and followed the instructions to install support for it. I think ended up with support for MMS. TCPMP may come with it. If not, the flash plugin may add support. Both are available at www.ytpocket.com. A link on the home page provides tools and instructions for installing both. Free.
As I was composing this note, I checked the file association settings for CoreCodeC. They include MMS. Not free.
Hmm, not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Multimedia Messaging Service - aka Picture Messaging, as opposed to just Text Messaging (SMS). In other words, the ability to "text" someone's phone with an attached picture.
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with that, but I tried it anyway, just for giggles... didn't make any difference to my problem.
Thanks anyway though, it'll be neat having YouTube on my phone
I'm not sure what you are getting at? MMS support is built into the phone? You just go to Message > New > MMS ??
That's the way it should work. With the old standard phones (my RAZR, my V710, my wife's LG, my Treo 650) you can just snap a pic with the camera, go "Send picture", and enter a contact, and it sends straight to their phone, same as you would a text message.
Windows Mobile 5 included this function. 6 apparently doesn't. There's a third-party app that some providers have chosen to include to provide the functionality, but Telus isn't one of them.
WM6 does after all I'm using WM6 and it's in my phone. It looks like that for whatever strange reason your firmware has removed that option.
From what I've been able to determine, MMS support *is not* native to WM6, at least not Standard version. WM6S phones that have it, are generally using Arcsoft MMS Composer, as bundled into the OS by the specific wireless carrier.
This, at least, is the best information I've been able to come up with between this forum and a few others.

I just started the photo app, chose album, selected a picture, chose "Send via MMS" from the menu, and saw a dialog that sure seemed to let me compose a message. I didn't check whether it really did. All this on an HTC S730 (WM 6).
Hmm, alright, mine doesn't quite do that... it has a Send option that lets me select a mail account to use, and Text Message is grayed out.
Apparently though, that's something that's common to almost all HTC phones except those that Telus provides
Hello
I am trying to turn on autocomplete in Pocket Outlook on my Touch Diamond, like it worked on the Kaiser. Autocomplete/ word-completion works everywhere else, but not in the "To" field, even if i typed that e-mail 100x times or used a e-mail address from a contact.
I just wanted to type a few letters and get a list of all the possible matches from cache and addressbook.
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
any idea ?
Is there really no one else out there having, this problem or any idea how to solve this issue ?
I am getting ready to order my Diamond, and I have a fear of this as well.
I think that this is a limitation of Windows Mobile, as on my mogul the contact auto-complete will work with the physical keyboard, but not with any of the on-screen one's.
If someone were able to find a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Works fine here - the name doesn't "autocomplete" while you are typing but upon tapping Send suggests a match if the string hasn't been matched before.
yes i know that feature, but as far as i know this feature doesn't use the cached names i recently typed, it just uses the names/mails from contacts.
Anyway the "old" Kaiser with WM 6.0 could do this autocompletion on the fly, so i just can not understand why the Diamond should not be able to do the same thing while i am typing.
Hmm.
Occasionally I forward emails with my Diamond from my work exchange email address to my personal pop email address [email protected]_example_domain.com. Merely typing "work" or even "wo" and pressing Send fires off the email with no problem. But typing "allen" then pressing Send brings up a picker even when the address should be cached...
I've just fired up my Artemis (unbranded & WM6) and that displays a picker as soon as one begins to type....never mind.
Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.

I have replied to your email. Expecting something really good from this app
I have just sent you an email. Hope to receive the beta invite soon
Two things, One you need to implement pinning of contacts and second It is not able to load conversation history, sends out errors.
Looking forward to try it out!
@wpxbox
Contact pinning added to our new features to be implemented for the final version.
About the second one I'm going to contact you to request more details.
@arkavat
Email us with the live id you used as primary in your windows phone.
The application is darn slow on my HTC Mozart (I had to kill it)
In most of the case it doesn't show the online contacts (it keeps saying that None of your contacts are online when there are more than 30 people online on PC version).
Sorry, I couldn't test it fully since my device got hanged dozens of time. I understand that this is a beta test, but you have to improve your application a lot.
Let me know if you need more information or video demonstration
It's pretty fast and responsive on my Titan.
- The application icon/tile is just plain sloppy looking. I don't know if that's final, but the blurry letters just don't look good.
- The spacing for each setting on the settings page is not properly aligned left-wise.
- The spacing for the text in the about page is also not properly aligned.
- It's not clearly obvious that I can tap on 'view all' or 'view only connected' text in the contacts pivot. Maybe simply underlining the text, or having it displayed in the user's accent color might make it more obvious that it can be tapped.
- I feel like updating my 'status' text should be easier. Maybe having it built into the 'status' page rather than the configuration page.
I'm sure there is more, but it's a great start to a very simple and fast Talk app. Great work!
Sent an email today. Hope to hear from you with an invite!
Drop My Comment on Load Conversation History. I was trying a similar app.
Till now I find it working perfectly fine though you need to work more on GUI. I will stay in touch with you over email.
There really needs to be a way to set "offline".
Away isn't enough, and "unlinking" requires that I retype my password when I want to log in again.
Sorry for that.
Added in the MUST BE DONE list.
I live in Canada. We can not get google voice phone numbers. As far as I can tell, we can only use it to place VoIP calles from the web interface to land lines (accessed through the gmail screen). Is there anyway to use this app to make calls in this way without having callback numbers etc.
Saw that the RC is coming out soon. Any idea yet when the emails will be sent out the the beta testers?
I'm Daniel, another developer of jiTalk.
We publish the application 2 days ago, but it has become accesible yesterday. Today we will send the email to our beta testers.
Greetings.
Looking for exact changes done in this version.
