Can't view all text in Appointment - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

I have had this issue on all WM 6.5 ROMS I have tried. Sometimes my office apointments synced to my Fuze are longer than a few words. When that occurs, I can not see all the appointment text in Agenda view or Day view. Clicking on the appointment to get the view screen does not help because it only shows 2 lines, and there is no scrolling to show more. So I still can not see all the text. The only solution I found is to hit Menu, then Edit, and scroll right to read all the info (like topic of meeting, meeting attendees, phone numbers, etc.). Not a very elegant solution. I have searched xda for a solution without finding a fix. Also called AT&T, who hooked me up with MS: "You are putting too much info in the appointment-just use a few words and abbreviate." Not a viable solution, since I do not generate many of my Calendar entries.
Anyone have a way to show more than 2 lines in Appointment view, or other fix? Thanks.

Could they have made it any more difficult to start a new SMS?

At minimum, 5 fiddly clicks from the Today screen to editing a new SMS.
Anyone know a good short-cut?
Please ignore me...
Just found this thread on page 2:

thanks!
this already have an open thread with 2 cabs in it I perfer the cab I posted but anyway try searching first next time buddy!
You may want to check out PocketCM. I love the interface and the Threaded SMS view. Very simple and clean.
You simply click contacts, click the contact and then click SMS. there you will see all sms conversations (which you can scroll) your messages are a different color then the contacts and a text input area at the bottom where you just start typing and click send.
I know this isn't what you were talking about but i have gotten very use to this and found it much faster after using it for a couple of months.

As I mentioned in one of the other threads, what I do is start with the contact... from the Today screen, click contacts, select your contact whichever way you like to do, then select "send text message". You're now at the point of editing a new text message. Since all the steps you did to select a contact you would have had to do anyway, those clicks were all "free". This is actually much shorter than if you had the "new" command that people are clamoring for.

Tip: Easy sending of SMS to multiple contacts with a few clicks

I've been looking for a program that could send SMSes to lists, like forward an important SMS to colleagues, jokes to friends etc. The cases are numerous. But even after having created custom categories and assigned them to each contact, there still didn't seem a way to use the categories for this purpose.
But I found Group SMS 1.4.1 over on softonic that adds a menu item "Add Group" which lists the categories that exist in the contact list, and lets you check which you want to add people from. On the next screen you remove checkmarks from those in those categories that you dont want to be added.
Very helpful, I hope it comes in handy for someone else.
Hey Shen why did you not post this just one day earlier. Yesterday was our Eid Festival and I was scrolling through my list of around 400 contacts selecting one by one whom to pick and whom to leave out while sending out "Eid Greetings" message. It took me kind of 45 minutes for just that. You know I really cursed MS for not building into their operating system something as basic as this. So well done I have not tried this yet but I am sure this is what I need.
Yeah I know how annoying that was But I had just found out about that program an hour before I posted here
yeah its a great app used it on my hermes as well to text my team, didn't know there was the add group function on my contacts list when i installed it until last week. Just by chance i found it.
It sure was frustrating when I didn't find any "Send to list" or "Send to group" option when i tried adding recipients for the first time.
Anyone know if theres any app for the TyTN II that combines group sms with disctintive sms sounds?

Outlook Problem - opens e-mails initially displaying the middle of the message

Hello all,
Normally when I open an e-mail in Outlook on my Tilt (WM6), the beginning of the message is initially displayed and I can scroll down to see the rest of the message. I installed KaiserTweaks on my Tilt last night and tweaked to the recommended settings. Now when I open e-mails in Outlook, the font looks different (I can't find how the KaiserTweaks would have changed my Outlook font) and Outlook now opens e-mails initially displaying the middle of the message and I now need to scroll up to see the beginning of the message.
Does anyone know which particular tweak may have caused this? I looked through the explanation of all the tweaks and I can't seem to find it. It is quite annoying to now have to "scroll up" on every single outlook e-mail I open just to see the start of the messages.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem as well, any fixes?
Install and run KaiserTweak. Scroll down to PocketIE >> D-Pad Scroll Navigation and switch from Enabled to Disabled. Soft reset.
Awesome!

Awesome. That worked! Thanks for the fix. It was driving me nuts.
Worked for me as well. Thanks!

Almost perfect...

I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

TF3D e-mail tab changes?

Hi All,
Has anyone successfully changed the layout of the e-mail tab in TF3D? I find the little envelope that shows you 2 1/2 lines of the top message to be just about useless. I'd really rather have just a list of messages come up.
What do you think? Is this possible?
Mode9 Editor
It is possible, and not all that hard to make some changes that will render the email previews much more useful. Search the forums for "Mode9 editor" and you'll find the most excellent work done by 6Fg8. Use this to make the envelope graphics transparent and you'll get much more readable area in the message previews.
I am trying to figure out how to un-tilt the message viewing area (i.e. make it flat like the way messages are shown in the "Messages" tab) but have not had much success yet. If I can ever manage to get this going, will post.
Thanks for the info. The Mode9 changes are an improvement, but the problem is that this whole idea is flawed. It only shows one message at a time. I lots of times get 3-5 e-mails before I bother to look at them (that's what happens when you're up to 300/day!).
We should really work on a solution that is more like an apreviated/improved inbox. I'm just not sure where to get started on such a thing.
Try the BBExtreme3 skin. Takes the envolope off and up and down motions scroll through what emails you have.
