How do I stop accidental email sending

When I'm compiling emails on my TyTN II, I find that often my email will be unintentionally sent when I'm only part way through due to a keyboard combination being used. Section 7.7 of the TyTN II user manual (page 134) refers to keyboard shortcuts and mentions holding down the S key is a shortcut to send the message but as in this (much) earlier thread I found relating to Accidentally pressing keyboard shortcut to send SMS, it refers to SMS sending and I'm having the issue with email. Is this pressing the softkey still the cause (I'm pretty sure it seems more like pressing a combination of keys around the S that are doing it in my case). More importantly, has anyone found a Cab, fix or even a WWE HTC ROM to stop this happening?
It's very annoying and I would have though some solution must have been found by now. I'll mention it in a letter to HTC but based on their past 'performance', I don't hold out much hope of a quick (or even eventual) fix from them. I'm therefore hoping for a solution from forum members so please let me know.

For me, its happened when i accidentally hit the send soft key between the R and T. I know its pretty bad sending half an uneditted email to a client and then having to send another email explaining why it happened and carrying on from there.. very unproffesional.
My solution to this problem is to simply cut and past the recipients email address from the to field to the subject field. Then once i'm done editing and everythings squared off and ready to go, i'll just cut and paste from the subject field back into the to field.
hope this little work around helps you. As for a hotfix or a confirmation message before sending it, i haven't heard of one.

I press that goddamn softkey all the time.....
It is really embarassing when you send a message half complete!
Good tip about the subject line

AEBPlus
I use AE Button Plus and have set the soft keys to ignore a single press. If I need to access the single-press application, then I just need to press on the screen.

Thanks for that work-around, that'll certainly do the trick if I remember to blank the 'to' field before creating the email. I've also emailed the AE Button Plus email address to see if they are willing to make a version of the product that works just with the TyTN IIs email and SMS program when thats in operation. I've also unticked the 'send messages immediately' box in my Windows Live Options on the TyTN II (since I use my Hotmail account through this device). I've found that this puts my email into the drafts folder and it's only when I then send the draft that it actually leaves - it's a bit of a pain though given keyboard short cuts are supposed to help rather than hinder.Definitely one for HTC and Microsoft to address.

Try to put your gmail login info from all different gmail account you have.
Also try this. Take out battery>wait for 3 hours > but the battery back > press power button for 20 seconds (This method was listed by one guy on other forum).
One guy also mentioned this method.
AGAIN ITS the lamest thing you could ever think of, anyway heres how it goes,
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone
2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as ,[email protected] Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed [email protected]
3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page ([email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.
TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.
Thanks

in the worse case scenario
you can always format (firmware flash) the phone and start from scratch

Nothing worked..What if take it to service center..Can they reset it some how???

They can - but you can do it without help --> recovery modue - wipe all data
problem: all your data is gone, but i think, if you forgot your pattern, you should suffer some pain

3 button mode is not working in my phone...If give it in service center can they be able to do it???

3 button mode is not woking in my phone.
Got a replacement today from sumsung today..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

this solution is with thanks to another person on another site...
You need a WiFi connection available for this to work!
1) Call your phone from a different phone.
2) Answer the call. While still connected...
3) Hit the BACK button on the phone (the arrow softkey)
4)This takes you to the home screen (it might take a few attempts, it depends on your timing. It took me 4 attempts)
5)Drag down your notifications bar and turn the WiFi on if it isn't already.
6)Close the notifications bar then hit the MENU softkey, select Settings then "Accounts and sync".
7)Click "Add Account" and select Google.
8)Sign up for a new google account as normal.
9)When the signup process is complete (and it must successfully create an account) you can hang up the call. (Do not sync the accounts)
10)Now when the phone asks you to unlock it using google credentials, use the ones from the account you just created. It will now ask you for a new security pattern, then for the same pattern again to verify.
11)Once you are back into the phone, turn off this "feature" until Google release a fix for the bug.
12)You can now delete the "false" google account which you just created from the phone. You should log into google and delete it from there too really.
13)Now reboot your phone. When the phone starts up and it still says "Phone Locked" don't panic!, Just drag the screen out of the way to unlock the phone, just like you did before you activated the pattern security.

Just to clarify some things...
Those quick fixes you people are talking about do not work. This just happened to me on a 1 day old Vibrant, and now I have to get yet another phone sent to me because it is soft-bricked. T-Mobile says it's a software glitch.
The reason it does this is because most people set up their account through the market app, and from what I've read, it does not store your account information on the phone if you do not set up your Google account using the GMail app. This is a critical issue, because in the T-Mobile store most reps will set up your Google account for you by using the Market app (and then everything else just prompts you to use that account).
If you have your phone charging and some toddler/preteen locks your account out, the only way to use your phone for anything other than receiving calls is to send the phone in and get it replaced. Too many Vibrants are hardware locked, so it is impossible to get into recovery mode on a majority of T-Mobile Vibrant phones (and many others, even international "types").
You will not be able to factory reset your phone.
You will not be able to use your Google Credentials to reset the lock.
You will not be able to get into download mode to reflash it to stock and get in.
You will not be able to do anything but make emergency calls and receive incoming calls.
You will not be able to get to the home screen by smashing home/menu keys and spamming Emergency Call button.
You will not be able to get the notification tray down.
And while the phone is telling you invalid user name and password, you will be able to log onto the internet using the same UN/PW and send emails to yourself, and watch the phone download them over its 3G connection.
The phone doesn't even attempt to connect to Google Servers to authenticate your information.
There are no fixes.
I've just spend hours upon hours trying every "fix" back to mid-2009.
Send your phone in, and get a replacement if this happens.
And never use Android's pattern lock - ever - again.
This bug has existed since Android 1.5. Google refuses to fix it.

Had the same issue. Ended up doing a hard reset, lost the boot screen and a few other things now don't work. Annoying.

Thank you N8ter

This actually worked for me after I had too many pattern attempts and I didn't sign up at google yet so couldn't unlock with google username and password.
Thanks alot!! That pattern lock had me panicking for a good while, especially since this was the first day I had this phone.

Calling Contacts

Ok, if I am missing something you guys can flame me for ever.
but....
go to ur contacts.. how do you call them from there?
u can edit them, get their nifty updates that i could really care less about. but you cannot initiate the call from your contacts view.
you have to go to your home page or the next page, then hit the phone tile then search in phone book at that point.
Which brings me to another point.. every touch phone I have used, even old non touch nokias let you either scroll on the side of the list to the name you want faster then scrolling through the entire alphabet, or type the letters of names to jump to them.
Both of those functions I do not see..
The more I use this phone, its becoming a glorified tile play thingy with a simple phone feature... am i missing something great here?

To start a call... you tap the text that says "call mobile" or whichever number you are trying to call under the contact's entry. That text seems rather self explanatory...
And to jump quickly to a certain letter, you tap any of the letter headings, and then tap the letter you want to jump to.

Also, there's a search symbol at the top of the contacts page, allowing you to search within contacts .. or, you could press the search hard key when in contacts view.

Thanks guys, did a reboot and then it started showing numbers for my contacts, when I first imported them, it showed their names, and profile to click on but no numbers or options to call or text them.
The scroller is a bit odd, cause if ur half way through the B's for example u have to get down to C, catch that little blue C and then select N's if that is what is needed.
Good luck doing that on the high way.
Question on email, how do you select all? on HD2, you go to options and select all and it would select all the emails listed, and easy to remove or delete.
Also how do you view several email accounts without having to go back to the home page tiles?
I run 3 diff email addies for my businesses, and really annoying to having to go go to home page every time to change which one Im viewing.
Crazy the book sais nothing of this.
Thanx

I have added my Live contact and outlook contact into my phone.
Is there a feature which allow me to filter and hide all my live contact.
I stored all my business contact in outlook, having live contact is expanding my contact list and making me confuse..

If your live account is the default account that you set the phone up with then no, I don't think there's a way to hide them at the moment.

have you read the manual or clicked on the text that shows up on first boot with tips and tricks???
If you click on people, you can click on the first blue letter/symbol to get the popup of the alphabet to sort.
Maybe you shouldn't drive and talk on your phone?
You cannot combine all the emails on this phone.
You also cannot select all messages, but if you press on the left of the message, check boxes appear and you can select or deselect messages, then delete, mark as read, mark as unread, move to folder.

ive read the manual, the full one that u dl of of htc site,
the reason i ask is because select all in email, or select diff email accounts from eamil view pane is basic features that ever phone I have ever used has had, even old nokias that were not smart phones, HD2 has that ability.
On select all, hell every phone dating back from the old 6190's had that on SMS and email.
Just surprised that this phone does not have that, its like many basic features are missing from a release model, which to me is dumb, why release a half done product.
Im not asking for special features, but if they put out the phone in a hurry for the holiday season, at least make it competitive with other OS's.
Ill give them that its simple, almost to simple cant even choose normal colors for your tiles, just girly ones, or make the colors different in ways that it looks interesting, but features like select all, copy, paste, multi tasking and (in contacts list ) the ability to scroll through letter choices without having to catch a blue letter should be there. I have over 340 contacts, so if i am half way through my list of J's and I need to jump to N, i have to scroll up or down to get to I or down to K to then select one and get the letters mode, then select which letter and hope its the right one while doing it on the move. Not efficient.

.........or you could click the Search button, which is always there, and be done with it.

WP7 does have voice command.. Perhaps instead of having to look down at your phone while driving you could use your hands free set and hold down Start to call whoever you want. Just a thought .

i just use the voice command lol

[Q] New to Samsung...Need some help!

Ive always only ever had HTC phones, had loads of them now, and this time ive had a change and got myself the Note!
Its a bit different and is taking alot of getting used to!!
First one i cant understand is, if i look at a website, and then lock the phone, if i return to it later, and open the internet app, it goes straight to the homepage instead of the page i was last looking at!
My HTCs never did this and im finding it VERY annoying! Can anyone help me with that one!??
Second is the home button, which can unlock the phone from standby!? Seriously who thought this would be a good idea?
Ive seen a solution but the phone needs to be rooted, which seems a bit extreme just to change one button! Is there another way round this?
The third one is about the email clients, i have an exchange account and a hotmail account, the exchange account can be setup to not look for mail when im asleep (out of hours) but the hotmail client cant do this and i recieve all sorts of rubbish all through the night!! Is the only way round this to use the hotmail app and delete the account off the device???
My Desire HD is soorly missed at the moment! Can anyone help???!

Can anyone tell me how to access the browser settings to stop it going to mobile sites? In the menu and settings there isn't anything to disable it, like on opera you could go to opera:config...
Is there something like this i can access on this handset? Please help these niggles are doing my head in and starting to take the shine off the new phone, i don't know where else to ask!
Thanks!

You can acces the user agent settings by typing about:useragent in the adressbar.
With regards to the browser loading again in memory I haven't heard a fix for this. You can fix your hotmail account by using it as an exhange mail type of account. Than the same type of settings should be available to you.
About using the home button to unlock, you mean turn screen on? Or you mean doubletap on the homebutton?

Hadn't even thought of setting up the email like that! I think the phone keeps killing the internet after a while for me so im trying to stop the task manager to see if it helps keep my internet pages loaded...thanks for the info on the browser, and i want to stop the home button being able to wake the phone up, when its locked and you double click the button the phone unlocks and goes to the voice app, can't i have it so the button does nothing unless the phone is unlocked?
Thanks for the reply!

You can disable the double tap on home button in the voice talk settings.

Done that! Nice one! Only one left now is why the phne keeps killing the internet service for me! Hopefully ICS will sort it out when its pushed out!

Email jumps to the bottom when refreshed - Rooted/stock 4.4.2

So I've had this bug for a while now, I've tried all I can think of to fix it. There doesn't seem to be an option for anything like this.
Every time I refresh any of my email accounts, from the E-Mail app, my entire inbox jumps to the very bottom (oldest) email. I then have to scroll all the way back up to see my newest unread email in the inbox.
It's not a sorting issue because the actual cursor on the right jumps down to the bottom as well. Any ideas?

I don't use the stock email app but there's probably a setting somewhere for "autoadvance" maybe try changing that to newest?

Like I said in the original post, there are no settings in the email app for that kind of thing. The only thing that comes close to that category is "Sort by" but like I said it's not a sorting issue. If it were a sorting issue my cursor would stay at the top and I would see the oldest emails first, the end of the alphabet first, etc. Instead the cursor is jumping to the very bottom of my email list instead of refreshing and staying at the top where the new emails are.
In regards to autoadvance, that is just a way to tell it what you want to see after you delete an email from the full screen message vs deleting it in list view.
