How can i auto queue text msgs to resend when i have a signal?

can someone answer the above? At present, when u write a text message and are with no signal it simply puts the text message in ur draft folder which i find useless. I know nokia, has a 'resend' option or something. Anyone know of anything for the kaiser?

That would be a nice feature, i've come stuck a couple times like that (on a flight and out of coverage) and had to save them as drafts then click on send later when back in service.
I send a lot of texts to large groups and also find they stick in the outbox sometimes never moving, if i try and click them they send repeatedly sometimes people get 5 or 6 messages. Both these issues were a problem for previous versions you would have thought they had sorted it by now.

You could try using the 02 SMS Plus application...it lets you set a schedule as well as lets u send group sms's. It comes bundled with all 02 phones and should work on Wm5 and Wm6. Try searching the forum for a Cab file of the application

SMS log like blackberry?

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.

Yes, VERY odd. It has worked for many other users as well.

SMS Inbox shows Contact Numbers instead of Names

Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott

for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré

OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?

Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?

bump.......

When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.

Carty..

Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers

Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...

Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!

Closing sms

Hi there,
I have tried searching to solve this problem but so far have had no luck. When I send a new message to someone on clicking the send button, it sends then the message then goes back to the reading pane. When I actually reply to a message and push send, the message sends but then the reply box comes up again as if it wants me to reply again! This is stupid and I wish that once i sent a reply it would also close. Would be even nicer if it went back to the home tab but just closing automatically would be nice.
Thanks

This is regular behaviour.

So there is no registry setting that can trick it into thinking a reply is a new message instead so it does close? I really don't get some of the choices made in windows mobile abd even more so why the user is not given more options.
Thanks

thread_sms
I have just been looking at the thread_sms.htm and compose_sms.htm
Is there anyway to figure out what difference between the thread view and the compose view causes the messaging window to close.
I really don't get why it doesn't go away of its own accord.
I'm also assuming no one has figured out how to make the sms send once you get back into reception.

Text messages disappeared / gone

Hi there,
First of all, my sincere thanks for having such a great forum. I've always been able to find all the solutions to problems by looking here. Until now...
There always has to be a first time for everything
Anyway. My problem:
Yesterday evening i was text-messaging with a my girlfriend. At one point I received a text message from her, and as I tapped the notification message to open the text, I noticed that all her other messages (and mine) had disappeared. They were gone.
Funny thing is, when ever I look at the sent messages, I can still see all the messages I've sent to her. But when looking at the message history between her and me, I only see the message that were sent after that specific message.
Now my question is, is there a way to retrieve these messages? I have been looking on this forum, but haven't seen such like post as mine. I also tried looking on google, but no luck what so ever, except for the rare post on a random forum saying it's not possible to recover them?
I just hope that there is a way you guys might be able to shed a light on this matter, as it would mean a great deal if I could recover these messages.
Also one more thing that I noticed. with all the other text conversations I have with some other friends, I see the first 5 / 6 messages. After that I get the option to see the older messages, which also include 5/ 6 message and so on and so on.
This also used to be the case with the messages between my girlfriend and me.
But since that so called killer message, I'm seeing all the messages in the same threat instead of the last 5 / 6 ones.
Maybe that this last piece of information helps you guys.
Anyway, thanks for reading in advance, and thanks for any help you guys might provide.
