When you text from the main Sense UI screen does it have the Sense threaded messaging look or the old windows look?

I am experiencing this problem as well, did you find a fix for it. This only happens to one of my contacts though. I tried changing the name to less letters in the name (equal to one i had added successfully), still didn't function correctly. I did notice though this was the one and only contact i had linked via facebook prior to installation of M2.5. I have linked other contacts (after installation) and have added them without an issue.

I have deleted the problem contact (which happens to be my gf) then created her contact card again. linked her contact to facebook, didn't seem to work right, tried to add and it failed. I am not able to even review her contact information through the TF3D interface, only through the windows/outlook interface. tried again with delete then add, didn't link to facebook this time, then tried to add her to the favorites list, worked fine. Tried to link to her facebook profile again, TF3D restarted again! Just as well once it restarted i tried to access the contact card from the favorites link and TF3D restarted again.

I would assume the issue lies somewhere inside the phone, meaning not her specific profile on facebook. I would think some kind of registry file for the facebook link interface. Not really sure, if someone with further knowledge of how the facebook link funtion works would like to shed some light on this matter that would be greatly appriciated.

Sorry for the extensive post by the way... Thanks in advance!

I like being able to use WM sms sometimes and I really don't like the sense 2.5 sms interface, was running way to slow and not working for me...

The ones reporting issues, did you re-download the new cab, the old one has the same name but the new cab is made to accept the updated fixes? The new build works noticeably better than previous build in so many ways...

This is what I noticed, if you see the white screen when you boot up for a minute you have the wrong cab.. Download new cab..
Old Cab Size : 67.46 MB
New Cab Size : 70.08 MB

Yes I've confirmed that I used the new cab.

I had the exact same problem the first time I loaded this, prior users linked to FB would cause Sense to restart. I hard reset, loaded 2.5 then linked FB and the problem never came back up.

There may be a better fix for it, but if you loose patience like I did that is a solution.

You can install this cab and it will bring back the WM Messanging Service. You will not be able to press the message to reply though. A work around is to either access all messages through "All Messages" left soft key or use the right soft key "Menu" and select reply, new or delete. Hope this helps you out!
