I got a strange issue with send text (sms) messages on this phone. A message send from this phone is delivered multiple times.
It seams that when I open the text inbox to read messages it automatically resends a couple of my messages (a screen pops up telling me that it has send my message).
Does any of you have any idea how to resolve this?
hmmm
same problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465577
Kinda scary why it does that? i noticed it does it after connecting to the pc. bit scared to use sms now
anyone got a solution?
This is an interesting "feature". I noticed the same problem mentioned by both of you when I changed the language from default (UK english) to in my case swedish. The thing that happens is that the folders "sent item" and "outbox" are changing places because of alfabetic sorting a-z. BUT when message is sent it stays in the outbox folder instead of "sent items" and the textmessage will send on and on until manually deleted from "outbox". (Normal flow is new msg => que for sending/outbox => sent items/archive but here's HTCs "labelproblem". Sent items will be redirected back to outbox.) My solution. Don't change the language from UK English but it's ok to change locale to wherever you are.
I hope this will wok for you too.
hmm
i of course checked the outbox and there where no emails in there..
But it could be a quick transfer to the outbox which i didn't notice..
I changed the language from dutch to Uk english, wil keep you informed if this is a language problem, hmm seems to be a language problem there where several messages in the outbox after i switched to uk english..
if this aint a bug i wont know what is haha.. hmmmm anyone knows a way around this?
UPDATE: using UK english after sending a text message it still stays in the outbox after it was send?
Frustrating thing is that in dutch or swedish you wont even notice this because of the extra langauge outbox folder box bug..
I also noticed that no copy of send messages appears in the sent folder?? And yeah i did select that under options

hi
i have exact same problem... i have a german S740 but i don't know german so i switch language to uk english, all the Messages remain on the outbox folder and the sent folder is always empty, even when i try to move messages to the send folder they don't move, so i have to delete the messages manually from the outbox folder or else it keeps sending them each time i reboot...
is there any fix for it? maybe some registry fix?
thanks
update: i tried every language in my rom and the sent folder box never works, i can't even open it, when i try it just freezes the screen ... i think there's some bug with the messaging program version of this rom, does the same even after hard reset...
anybody know which files are used by the windows default text messaging program? (.dll and such) maybe i can use some other more recent versions and fix the problem...
thanks
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.
Is it really not possible to get sms client to understand that you use capital letters at the start of a new sentence?
Can´t understand how it could lack such a basic function that one has been used to have since the monochrome display cell phone times???
Does it only capitalize the very first letter in the SMS Client?
If so, do you put a SPACE between the . and the next word?
My Client then capitalizes the next word, no problem here.
EDIT: Additionally, check if you activated "Capitalize first letter of sentence" under Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Input -> Options-Tab.
Regards,
Lukas
Yes, but that´s the wm client, I´m talking about HTC own sms client.
I was talking about the HTC Messaging Client too.
It works for me, no problem at all.
What keyboard are you using?
Touch input. Does it capitalize immediately or when you send the message?
It capitalizes it immediately after I finished the word after a full stop.
It is important that you put a space between the full stop and the next word, I hope you know that
Yes that´s the way I would like it to work and the way it works on the wm client but not on the HTC. Had a diamond before the hd2 and it was the same thing with it, that´s why I assumed the HTC client didn´t have this function at all...
Just to be clear, you use the one with speech buubles?
Can anyone else confirm this?
I just tried it in Conversation Mode, but it also works there without any problems.
I always use Traditional Mode.
EDIT: Wow, wait a minute. The HTC Messaging Client does NOT have speech bubbles at all. The WinMo Messaging Client has these!
What ROM are you using BTW? If it's an Energy-ROM, there's no HTC Messaging Client included.
Regards,
Lukas
I´m using energy and I thought it was the stock HTC client, but I installed the addon and then got the stock. There the auto capital worked but the interface otherwise was terrible so I uninstalled it.
Does energy rom have a custom app where you see the sms as speech bubbles or what?
Anyway it´s when I type in this that the capatalization doesn´t work...
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.
Hi everyone,
I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).
Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.
I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.
Does anyone has the same problem ? How can I fix this ?
Thanks a lot !

Make sure this is set correctly:
1. From your home screen, open Settings and head into “More…” under Wireless & Networks.
2. If running Android 4.4, you should see an option for “Default SMS app.”
3. Tap on that.
4. A window should appear with all apps that could be a potential SMS app.
5. Tap the one you want to use.

Sorry for a late answer and hope you get, or maybe you've already gotten, the issue resolved.
