What do you mean? It's perfectly normal that you loose SMS-messages when upgrading the ROM. Updating the ROM is like erasing the harddisk of a computer and re-installing the OS: you'll loose anything that's on the disk.
If you mean that you lost the ability to send SMS-messages: within the settings of the "phone"application (enter the phone application and select menu/options/Services), there's a way to enter the telephone-number of the SMS-central for your provider. When entered, you'll be able to send messages again.

Marc - I meant the SMS option is no longer there. I am using Cingular. I guess that I need to "configure" for SMS specificially? If so, what exactly do I need to do? Thanks.
That's what happens when you don't use a cingular rom :wink:

I have my Yahoo mail synced to my phone, but most times when I open the e-mail on my phone, the message isn't there. There's always an option to download the message next time I connect and recieve. How do I set it so my message is there when I open it?

do u use the standart message application? Or some other?
In the mail settings, choose to download the entire message. Most likely, you have it to download something like "Only 2kb" or whatever.

Where are these settings you are talking about. Currently when I open the message, I have to click get full message. Then it says it will download next time I connect and recieve mail. Then I have to click menu and select send/recieve, exit out of my mail, then reopen the message to view the full message.

open the messaging, go to menu(left softkey)/options - there should be listed your sms/mms, .... and also your yahoo account, click on it and there should be a option "download size settings" - is that what u are looking for?
simliar to what he said, go to your inbox > menu > tools > options. click on your yahoo account from the accounts list. then keep clicking next until you get to a screen that shows message format and message download limit. change the limit to entire message and click finish. then do a send/receive again and see if everything shows up now. or send a new test email and see if it shows it all.

That was it. What I was doing before was going into the menu for all message sources (SMS, multimedai, yahoo, gmail, etc) instead of going into the menu specifically for my Yahoo account. Thanks a lot!
One more question, can you set a custom ringtone for text and email messages? I can only find out how to change call ringtones.
yea you can, go into start>settings>personal>sounds and notifications. then in the drop down list find your selection

Yeah, I got that, but none of my custom ringtones are in that list, only stock sounds. Only when I select incoming calls can I change to my my own sounds.
^ o ok, all you need to do is drop your custom sounds into the windows directory and it should appear in the list.

i've been looking for something simliar to this, i made a post about this a while back and got no replies...
But i figured out how to make the phone automatically download all attachments, and i've had the settings on "download entire message" for quite some time, but still whenever i open a email, it blocks the pictures (kinda like what gmail does if anyone has that) then you have to click an icon to "download/display images below" is there anyway to make it so it always opened the email with all the images downloaded and opened? its not the biggest inconvenience but it would still be very useful

OK, now that I got that down, is there a way to stop the ringtone from playing once you read your message? Some of my ringtones are 15-30 seconds and play all the way to the end even after I have read and closed the message.

I think no. There are some threads here with similar questions.
You have to put the sound you want into the windows directory. Or get a 3rd party application like phonealrm to do it.

Use this diamond mp3 trimmer and shorten up your alert to maybe 5 seconds or whatever then drop it back into windows. thats it
Is there a way to delete all SMS Messages from phone? Because they just keep clogging up by contact and you can only delete messages from one contact or X number of recipients but not ALL SMS from the touch of a button.
All SMS's at once? No.
All from one contact? Yes. In conversations, press and hold the recipients name, delete. All SMS's from that contact are gone
Or should it be easier than that?
No i mean all SMS from phone like WM6.5, Select All Messages > Delete

No there's no way of doing it exactly like WM 6.5
<hint, hint>
But I personally tend to think WP 7 is way easier.

Yep I think it could be way easier than that - a prime example being the way you can delete emails on WP7 by select checking boxes. When I'm doing a bit of housekeeping on my phone and decide to purge all my SMS messages, I shouldn't have to 'press, hold, delete' for every single conversation. This is the first phone I've ever owned where there wasn't a Delete All / Purge All option for the SMS inbox so I don't think it's really that unreasonable.
For the record however, I loooove almost everything else about WP7 and this is a minor irritation. Can't wait for mango.

SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.
Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.

If your phone is rooted copy the custom tone to the System/Media/Audio/Notifications folder.
If not rooted see if you have a Ringtones folder on your sdcard and if so copy the tone there and see if it then appears in the notifications list.
Either way may require a reboot before it appears.

If it's a song, can you do it from the Music player by selecting Set as ringtone in settings?
Go to the song you like in music player and press settings and "set as ringtone"

well thats the phone ringtone i'm talking about the text message one not the one that i play when somebody calls me. I want the one that play's when i recieve a text message
Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.

This sent me round in circles for a while but there's a really simple solution.
Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.

You could go to play store and download Ringo or Ringo pro.
You can customise a ring tone and a notification tone for every person in your phone book.

Constantly ring and vibrate your phone when SMS is received
The walk-around is to make the phone constantly ring and vibrate when an important message is received. I developed an app
that can ring the phone, like a normal phone call, when an important contact messages you.
Try it out to see if it works for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textcall.app
Hey, my phone wasn't able to that as well but since I have a rooted phone, I can do pretty much everything that my phone doesn't handle and if you have a rooted phone you will be able to do this. Just install Root Explorer (if you don't find it in the play store just search on Google: Root Explorer apk) and download it. Now go to right section that says Storage and go to the directory where your mp3 ringtone file is. Copy or cut it and now go to System/media/audio/notifications and just paste it there! With the normal File Manager that it's in your phone won't work, so rooted phones really help!
Hi
In the "phone" application, if I have an entry in the call log from someone, I simply cannot copy that number to the clipboard. I have to long press and select "Edit number before call" and then copy it from the text box (not from the place it is displayed above). Highly convoluted and non-user friendly.
Is there any reason why I cannot simply long press a phone number in the call log and copy it? Even selecting text does not seem to be possible in Whats App or SMS applications. There is some cursor like thingy that appears and thats about it. I cannot select portions of text to be copied.
Can't believe I am asking this, but how can I copy portion of text, say from an SMS or from a WhatsApp message?
Thanks.
Farhad.

Double tap the text and you should get two handles and the select/copy/cut action bar up top.
It took me a while to get this, apparently on Sony phones you have to double tab to get to cut/copy/paste, it's easy enough once you get that though.
Sony Phone app: no copy, no send contact, no vibrate when connected.
Sony Messaging app: no font size changable, no hide message content option, can't not send (unamed) number from call log.
In term of UI functions, Sony need to do much more. I feel they still not focus enough on software
Don't tell us, tell Sony, they're the only ones who can do anything about it.
Hello,
I have another copy / Paste question. In the calendar I cannot copy the location entry. Anytime I tab it, I am asked to open google maps. Any Idea how to copy location text?
Thanks!

Not sure what do you mean "no vibration when connected, but to copy: long press on the number and to send: that's in the menu.
