Hi,
using Windows Mobile 6.1, SMS list shows the time for SMS reveived today but only date for older SMS.
1- Is there any way to SHOW the time for older SMS?
2- If there's no way to show it, is there at least a way to KNOW this time?!
It seems an incredible lack to miss an option to show SMS details including timestamp and also the EXACT used number (because some contacts may have many numbers and the SMS thread only shows the contact name!)
Pleas Help!
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I found at least three threads about this issue in xda-developers forums but none of them gives a solution!
Try copying the sms in question to sim...
When viewing your SMS, on top of the screen you have the name of the contact, just go up to see the date and time.
No clue for exact number instead of the contact's name.

Hi @all
Yesterday I bought the TyTN II. I'm very pleased about it, but I have now some Questions.
-When I receive SMS, is it possible to see somewhere when it has been sent?
-When I get the delivery report of a sent SMS, I only see the number of the recipent and not the name which is stored in the phone. Furthermore would it be possible to determine, when the SMS has been delivered?
-In the Today-Screen is only one calendar entry shown at once unfortunately. Is there a possibility to show more than one entry within the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards

1. To view when it has been sent, just open the message and its at the top. By default, the message is slightly scrolled down but if you scroll up, you will see the To: and Sent Date.
2. The name on delivery reports is a known "issue" or annoyance. Previously, I did use a program that was written by someone here but for the life of me, cannot remember what it was called. This worked perfectly with the number being matched with contacts list.
3. Calendar, not sure at the moment... will find out if I can/have time
Heres the delivery thing, not tried it on the Kaiser yet but might do later on

Thank you very much for your replies. It's my fault I didn't scroll up in the SMS, now I see the sent-date Thank you for the hint
I could solve the problem regarding the calendar entries display on the today screen. I installed the very good tool Calender+
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
and now you can choose how many entries / how many days should be displayed.
Thank you for the link for the SMS Delivery Fix Tool. I downloaded and installed it, but seems that it doesn't function... I sent a E-Mail to the developer of the tool.

h3mp says it works! Did you install it differently? What error are you getting?
Hi @all
Thank you for your very helpful replies. In the meanwhile the SMS Delivery Fix thing is now fully functional. The only thing I miss is the display of the time when the SMS arrived.
The Calendar+ app works really fine.
Another strange problem occured in connection with the TomTom. After installing and downloading and installing the included map everything works fine. But then I connect the TyTN II to the PC and the TomTom Home application. The app was searching for updates for the installed TomTom Navigator. It brings up the message that a update is available, it was the "phone database - connect2internet" update. And now that's the strange and very annoying part: After installing the update, the phone doesn't play ANY kind of ringtone on an incoming call and the ringtones are very low.
Neither removing the TomTom app nor doing a soft reset solved the problem. After a masterreset everything was fine again. I installed then all apps needed again and did a backup with Sprite Backup. After this I installed the TomTom Navigator again with the update... same problem! No ringtones on incoming calls. I did then a restore and all was ok again.
Very strange right? Do have any informations/advices about that problem?
Thank you again very much in advance

When you send an sms and recieve a delivery notification the message says
Message successfuly sent to +9715081233450 instead of message successfully sent to Ahmad AlDhaheri.
The above link fixes it so it says the name (in first last or vice versa), number and even extension (m for mobile, o for office and so on).
Oh I just saw your full post above, apparently you do know what it does. Well now anyone curious also knows.
Bump for a great peice of software.
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.
Regards,
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!

Hey all,
so i have two very strange issues...
1. Bluetooth OBEX - I can send FROM the phone to any device (That supports it) but I cannot send anything TO the phone from any device. Typically i will get a generic "Device does not support OBEX" error message
-- I have tried sending paired, and not paired
-- I have verified that filesharing is on, and all of my bluetooth options are enabled
2. SMS's not in order - When I installed my current rom (see my sig) And used PIM restore to put my SMS's back, they are not in the order that the conversation happened. If you look @ each day. the messages appear their's first for the day, then mine... its kinda weird.
-- In some instances I dont even see the messages that were sent to me. When I tried making PIMBackup to restore the messages again it said they were already there. I have received some new SMS"s that I dont want to wipe out if I can avoid it but i've never seen this before and it makes no sense
Another thing.. where do I edit the size of text on context menu's ? (asside from the start menu which was using LargeStartMenu)

Hi there,
1.Not all devices are bluetooth 2.0 compliant and I have the same problem sending from older devices.
2. SMS's order can be set in main screen. Select Received on top right
3.Text size can be changed under Start>Settings>System>Screen
There is a tab for font size at the bottom with a slide bar. I have set mine to 2nd last notch from right.
Hope this helps.

Hey MAC, thanks for the reply
for the bluetooth item, this is from my brand new dell laptop or even another att tilt. Even my friends 8125 that was working on some other roms i have problems with now.
the SMS issue is not on the inbox screen its on the actual message history screen. So if I click on an item in my inbox it brings up the coversation thread. In there it shows all of my friends messages first then the ones I sent in reply so instead of .... them... me .. .them.. me. its them... them.. them.. me .. me.. me ... its kind of weird
I had already checked the text size on the screen page. It was set to normal, but the menu's are still huge (see screenshot)

I see re the bluetooth issue. Nt sure as my laptop sends and receives fine from my TyTN II.
If you are using threaded sms then I can't help as I have normal one.
I see you are also using WK Task which comes with the Kaiser. I have removed that and opted for Quickmenu. It is MUCH better, smaller and gives you cascading menus like in Windows XP/Vista. It is also freeware. (File attached). Just place all the files in the zip archive to a folder anywhere on your device, create shortcut if you want, but I suggest you place a shortcut in the startup folder.

Yah I've been working on the BT issue since yesterday with no luck
I am using threaded SMS which is why its annoying me that the messages are not appearing in order...
I use WK task in tandem with QuickMenu... I love quick menu, but I still cant figure out how to fix the font sizes... its every context menu not just the tray apps... even my resco context menu is huge and i have to scroll it to do stuff its kind of irritating
Thanks for the suggestions tho, I hope someone has a solution for me, I really like this rom and dont want to change it
Ok So I just discovered that I am completely retarded and forgot to check the "Accept all incoming beams" option in the beam control panel applet... now, how do I go about fixing my SMS messaging issue and chaning the fonts for the menus? They are HUGE!
Thanks in advance!

Yup when I restore my Messages its not in order. I truly believe its because of how PIM restores the Messages. All Received First Then all Sent. So to the Device it IS in order. I've posted this thought in the PIM Backup thread. I don't think they've got it figured out yet. Sorry.

Actually I just finished fixing the PIM Backup issue too.. its kind of a known issue with 6.1 If you restore everything but your messaging DB. Clear your messaging DB in the messaging app. Terminate the messaging app process then run PIM restore... run the messaging app and let it rebuild the threads it seems to work.. Also make sure that you set your regional date settings to what your normally set it to BEFORE you run PIM backup... some people believe that this may also be the issue.... so process is...
1. Flash
2. Restore all of your data using PIM backup EXCEPT messages
3. Open messaging and clear your SMS boxes
4. Terminate the messaging application
5. Do your PIM Restore
6. Open mesaging
Worked for me!
1 more issue to go and thats the large menu font size!

Hi,
I have few problems with the gestion of SMS on my diamond. Maybe there is some registry trick to fix them ?
- if I delete a SMS from the SMS/MMS box it goes to the deleted sms folder which is normal and cool. If I delete a SMS from TF3D it is permanently deleted (doesn't go in the deleted folder). Is there an option to not have it permanently deleted ?
- if I have a contact with many mobile number (from different coutry in my case) it only show the contact name when I get a sms. I need to know the phone number used to write to me. Is it possible ?
Thanks,

Can I add something to this?
I don't use TF though. My sms is shown in threaded view.
Now I would like to see when and what time the sms was received or send. I can only see what time a message was send/received when it was s/r on the same day. When that day is over you can only see on what day the sms was s/r.
Is there a way to view both day and time a sms is s/r?

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

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

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)
