Hi all,
Im sx56 wallaby user and I have this problem with my Contact program. Sometimes when I hit the Contact icon then nothing happen, only 'close' icon appear on the bar, but sometimes it just run smoothly.
Is this problem connected with the 'permanent save' setting on my Contact? When this problem starting again I just reset my device and it temporary gone. One time when I reset, then my device start to sync the contact and I found that my almost all my contacts were duplicated in the list. Please someone help me with this.. Thx.

I use O2 xda mini. I think Permanent Save has a design fault. I have over 2000 contacts. There are many contacts with the same last and first name. For example, David Chan. When I do a restore after a hard reset, if I have more than 1 David Chan, it will prompt me for duplicated contact, and ask me to "overwrite" or "skip". Both options end me up restoring only 1 David Chan, and I lost the remaining 3 or 4 David Chan. Permanent Save is totally "unsafe".
Hi all.
concidering amount of the brains (and I mean in a good way), passing those forums, how come nobody haven't find a solution to mark all unread e-mails "as read". At the moment I´m using POP3 account and I got about 30-50 e-mails per day + some spam. So it is quite frustrating either open every single e-mail or just to ignore green sign with number of unread e-mails in the home screen.
... or is it only me who will find this irritating...
anyway - cheers to everybody. Great community here. In the pass I was probably only WM user in my neighborhood, who could actually use it ...thanks to XDA, as all the problems I had, got answers here.
What about check all email accounts for new email solution?
You can delete em all... but may be that's not what you want. So if you don't wanna read them all, you should be able to change your POP3 setting on the mail server in such a way that it does not send you the spam. You can also choose from within the HTC mail app how many mails per day you want to download. I know this is not the solution but am just suggesting something.
I would like to know that too! It is really annoying to read emails you dont want to read or you know what is in the email.
Would be nice to have an application for it

just to clarify... my problem isn't the spam and not the quantity. As Im using my laptop as primary worktool for checking email etc, im using my phone only when outside the office, basically in the near future I stat to use exchange anyway (waiting the setup), but this is something at the moment that I would like to solve (as it was solved when using WM diamond). Just imagine, have read all 30 mails received by noon and driving out of office, when checking mail while driving, I got all the mails received/read earlier shown as "new". Simplest thing to do, when not using IMAP, is mark them all read, which should be something easiest tasks with WM phone but not with Android... I hope you understand ....
basically I have lot of unread e-mails. I will pick up the ones I think are important (based on the subject) and read them, all others I will ignore and I would mark them "as read".

OK, the bottom line is the mails you don't regard as important, you don't wanna read them ever... so why not "bulk delete" them??!! Cuz I imagine you just don't wanna see the mail icon displaying those mails as a green bubble. You can do so!! When in the HTC mail app where all emails are listed, press menu and select delete >> you'll see a X icon in from of every email >> you can select the ones you don't wanna read ever and then delete them all at once. I found it quite handy. But the Exchange server would be great once you get it. I just hope that Yahoo mail also becomes IMAP.
Ok you can delete, but stilll if you want to save some emails for later. This is a missing function.
Open GMail in your browser (so not the hero app):
Do a search :
in:inbox in:unread
Then choose select all.
You will get an option of selecting all mail in the search.
Choose action: mark as read
And tada, all mail is read!

hmmm.... I have no idea what do you talking about...
R U sure this is HTC Hero standard mail app, you have this "search unread" option and "select all" option? My phone sure as hell doesn't have this function.

true, true...
saphuis is probably talking about gmail app, not the inbuild imap/pop/exchange client.
This is a missing feature, we need to be able to select multiple messages and do stuff with them, currently this only works for delete ( Menu-delete )
I'm not sure, but if you don't need exchange, you might be able to use default android mail app, that might have the features you request ... quick google search did not help me to be sure ...
should have been more clear.
Had the same problem. Could only solve it in the browser gmail environment.
OK, another idea to solve the problem in its current state (although it is not an alternative to including the desired feature in the mail app!!) >> How about moving all the unread mails at once to another folder e.g. Trash?? That way, you'll still have them but won't see them in the inbox or as a green bubble.

Wow, you are right ! Nice one
well this might work, but it's lame. how can it be that this device is advertised as the uber-internet-and-mail-smartphone and is not capable of the simpliest tasks... this has to be improved, it's a shame.
i mean, we're not apple, so this should be possible without three major os releases, shouldn't it?
POP3 doesn't support 'Read' as a flag does it?
AFAIK, the App keeps track of the last message it saw, and downloads new ones since its last download - but there's no Read synchronisation between different POP3 applications.
You need IMAP for that - or use Gmail to collect your POP3 mail and then use the Gmail app instead..
I have my HTC Mail linked to my Apple MobileMe account.
If I read, delete, not read a message on the Hero, this is reflected in Mail on my Mac.
Seems they are synced pretty closely.
Sorry, not in any way helpful here, but just wanted to highlight the fact.

POP3 didn't have this option with WM as well. Issue here is not the difference between IMAP and POP3, but missing feature on the standard E-mail app on the HTC Hero (android op sys) to select all unread messages at once and mark them as read.
There are different options how to mark them unread and all these options are fine until you have couple of e-mails per day, but if the quantity of the e-mails is quite high, then all those options (like manually selecting each e-mail) fail.
So basically this is the reason I hate to use e-mail app and one and only advantage of Windows phone comparing to android at the moment. ... I hope this advantage of WM will dissapear soon.
Every time I reset my phone when it restarts, it tells me i have a new text message even though there is no message in my text inbox. anyone come across this before?
yes, i know this problem, and never got it solved >.< after a time it was away.. xD
what helped in my case was switching SMS view to traditional, then while scrolling through the inbox I've found one supposedly unread message at the very end of the list, after opening it marker disappeared
how to change to traditional view and back >.<
I have deleted all my messages. if i receive a sms then delete it, it clears, but if i reset it comes back.

page 146 of manual: "To manage text and multimedia messages by folders
If you want to use the conventional way of managing your messages by folders, tap Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode on the All Messages screen. The Inbox folder is then displayed, listing separate text and multimedia messages instead of threading."
another possible solution could be using PIM Backup to backup all text messages, deleting all manually and restore back - I did not try it, as the method above helped in my case
If you had another phone with a SIM and moved the SIM to your HD2 you may find there is a text message on the SIM. The HD2 can't delete from the SIM so you need to put the SIM back in a "dumb" phone and delete it there.

Thanks. It worked, any idea what it does?
I delete my text messages on a regular basis, but when I went into that file finder thing, and typed in a generic word I knew I had in loads of my texts, and sure enough, loads popped up.
They are obviously saved somewhere, but how do I totally delete them from the the memory, my HD2 is so slow...
Cheers
try going to all messages, then go to option and change to traditional view, and then go delete--> then select all, and finally delete. Hope that makes sense.
That will delete all messages including sent. Then you would need to go back to all messages and then go to trash and empty trash bin as that is where they go after you press delete.
Hope this helps! if this doesnt work just message me
Hi,
I'm running a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 running ROM 3.14.110.1 WWE.
Recently, whenever I try to send an SMS and type the contact's surname into the "To:" box - the messaging application disappears off the screen. No draft SMS is saved, and when I return to the messaging application - no evidence of the SMS is present.
If I click the Contact Lookup icon in the top right hand corner, I can manually select contacts through this method - but obviously it's a lot slower than simply typing a surname and picking out a contact.
I've tried removing my MS Exchange ActiveSync connection, and then re-establishing it after a Soft Reboot - but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this, and can suggest a fix?
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
Im glad I'm not the only one this happens too, I just thought it must be my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons....
Sorry I cant help but will be watching to see if there are any helpful hints on how to fix this error..
How many text messages have you got. . . . Coz when i was getting this and after a hard reset, I didn't restore my test message and the problem want away.
Don't now as never found a solution yet.
