Thread merged.

What's with the caps?

I really think you should just hard reset.

I've been having some screwy issues with ThreadedSMS.

-- For starters, I can't seem to figure out how to stop the really long vibrate effect from happening upon receipt of a new message, even if my Mogul is set to completely silent.
-- The fonts of previous messages of conversations inside the client itself seem to arbitrarily choose to display either in the normal, comfortably-readable size or (at their own discretion, seemingly) in a smaller size that's kind of a pain to read.
-- I can't for the life of me figure out how to disable auto-capitalization of the first letter of a sentence. Stuff like "Lol" and "Oh cool" and "Really" look ridiculously out-of-place to me in a casually-if-at-all capitalized SMS session. I poked around in the registry but couldn't find an option to disable this.
-- The program seems to randomly turn my Mogul's screen on if I leave it running, but this issue is resolved by using HTC Task Manager to keep it closed when I hit the X-Button. Still, weird and annoying.
-- I don't think I'm getting all of my messages. My brother told me today that he had sent five different text messages, none of which arrived on my Mogul. Maybe ThreadedSMS is to blame, maybe it's something else, but that's pretty alarming. I remember reading about this issue on PDAPhoneHome and elsewhere when the Mogul first dropped and people were running ThreadedSMS on it, so immediately after installing the client, I got out another phone and sat down and fired about 50 text messages back and forth between my ThreadedSMS-powered Mogul and my secondary phone. Neither of them missed a message, but now my Mogul is.

Hell, I don't know. It could be baseless paranoia, but something really feels "off" about this client. I don't even know if I'm using the latest/"right" version or whatever -- the file I have is just called "WM6_threaded.cab", and it appears to be the release that Codyppc was gracious enough to repackage for us. Still, this thing doesn't seem to be ready for primetime.

Remember this thing never left the beta status. It was extracted from the Treo 750 and people stopped working on it due to Palm asking them to because of their intellectual property.

There is no later version, there's only one. The only thing codyppc did was repackage it for both WM5 and WM6, and also add different CABs for button assignment.

This app was never, it is not, and will never be 'ready for primetime'. It sucks, but there's nothing we can do.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the backstory and kind of figured as much. I just thought that for as many people as there are that are still using it, maybe someone had come up with roundabout hackjob ways to correct some of the issues.

I guess what I'm really looking for is an alternative program that threads text messages. I tried out Textr since it looked pretty awesome in the screenshot previews, but man oh man did it ever turn out to be a flaming abortion. Slow, buggy, takes over your hardware keys -- really lame product. The best solution I've been able to come up with is to just leave the stock client and to use PocketCM's SMS threading feature when you want to see a conversation-style view. PocketCM is a lovely program, but it really takes an uncomfortably long time for it to start up, and the screen orientation switch from portrait to landscape feels really sluggish as well.

Oh well. Perhaps someone else has or will come up with a better solution. This is one area that the iPhone is really kicking our ass.

There are multiple versions of this floating around. Depending on which thread you download it from you may be getting an outdated version. I have seen the Palm one, codyppc's modded palm. etc. etc.

What is the CURRENT best choice for threaded SMS? I have seen mention of bugs and so on. Which version of the official Palm ripped app is everyone using?
