Alternate SMS

cd85233 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-2009, 01:38 AM

Guys, did a search for this but couldn't find it.

Basically, I have found a lot of great ROMs and I would have stuck with one for a while if it hadn't been for the SMS program. There is so much crap wrong with it.

1) The keyboard is always laggy.
2) SMS don't all clear when I open the message, I have to scroll down the page to clear them all.
3) TF3D doesn't recognize that I have cleared the message.

I am on SSK 1.5 B2B

for 1 I have tried the diable t9 trick, still slow as heck. I have also tried that whole changing the delay in the Registry.

For 2 and 3 I have no idea what to do, I have searched and found nothing.

The hard thing about searching is that if you don't know what you are looking for, it is hard to search...so please don't flame me with the whole "Search you freaking N00B" stuff.

I have had a ton of different WM phones and they all do the same thing, so i doubt that it is a hardware issue, but if it is, I can take it back since I have TEP.

Thanks in advanced for your help,

-CD

No sir, that doesn't do it. It happens in every ROM...even after hard reset. There is no answer so far for the lag, that is why I am asking for an alternate SMS prog. Does anyone know if the palm sms works for the TP?

You can try some of these,

http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html

And theres one called Advanced SMS Corporate, I think the personal version is free if you can google it and find their main website.

Edit: 2 more

UGH...if only the two could be merged... I like the finger friendly UI with the first and the features in the second.

MY GOODNESS! the smsathand is AMAZING, it intergrates with the ROM so well. I am even on WinMo 6.5 and it is awesome!

Thanks man. Too bad I can only press the Thanks button once.

Does SMS at Hand solve the laggy hardware keyboard problem?

Sorry, forgot to include that it does. It seems weird that I can type at the same rate that the words apear haha. as I said, it I am using 6.5, so somethings seems a little weird...Actually the only thing is that my phone won't vibrate or make a sound to notify me that I have received a message...maybe this doesn't happen in 6.1.

Where did you get 6.5?? Is it stable for you?

. Can you make the sms at hand default and so you dont have to select the program each time you want to make an sms, and you can just use the standard touchflo and it wil go to it automatically (or like it changes the windows sms program and makes it better?)

There is an option to change the Today plugin to launch the app instead of the built-in one. I do not know about TF3D, but the old style today should work.

I was using Hibby's ROM here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=59730

Other than the good ol' crappy SMS app and the wallpaper going away every once in a while, it works really well. IMHO, it works as fast or faster than 6.1

Granted, I was using an old version V2 it is now V4...just a fews days aga was V2.

Tha being said, I am testing out the other one from Vito. So far, the GUI is much better and does give notifications of recieved sms. I will post back with more info.

Last thing, I am on 6.1 ROM now not 6.5
