Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

I've updated to it. Much quicker in my experience.

One thing I get now is when I receive a text message and I read it, hit okay to back into the text messages list it does not show as read (it is still bolded as if it was not read at all). I find myself going back into the text message one, even twice sometimes, to make it as read.

Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.

Bump.

Well, I for one can't seem to reproduce this bug. Rec'd several txts today and all behaved normally. Can you describe it in more detail step by step - some terms you use I'm not sure about. I checked the TF3D screen for txts, that's normal. Then the threaded message list - also normal. And in Outlook's section for txts (linked with the email/picmail accounts), also normal.

I have noticed this also. I use Google Voice a lot, so sometimes when texting I will be using my computer. The texts still get sent to my phone.

So, lets say I am texting someone (via Google Voice on my computer), and in the process I receive 10 texts from them. On my phone, the message tab on TF3D shows 10 unread messages, which is normal. Then I slide over to the message tab and click on the text message to bring up conversation view. I leave it open a few seconds, then use the X in the upper right to close it. The TF3D tab still shows 9 unread messages.

In the past, when I would open up a conversation thread, all messages would get marked as read. Or, at least this is now I think it worked.....

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

The only work around I have it to use the D-Pad to scroll the messages in the conversation. As you select them that way they will be marked read so you can get them all marked read that way...

Not a soluton, but the only thing I have found to be of use yet. I think it is a bug in this build of Windows Mobile as my wife's Diamond has this same bug...

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

nope, bug of tf3d.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Im not trying to jack your thread but is anybody having a problem with Opera crashing on the newest Stock Sprint Rom... Two sites this keeps happening with are this site (only the home page) and 1800pocketpc.com and I've done about 5 hard resets.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem

I cant believe they did that as a feature.....I want my messages read because I use S2U2 and sometimes bypass TF3D.....

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

That's stupid. Of course we read them, they're threaded.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

HEre you go try this cab!! It works wonders on my phone.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Thank you! Seems to work!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

ha ha Your welcome man!!! I hope I can be a hero for holding on to this wonderful little .cab!!! Thanks to the creator!!!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

You have no idea how much that little bug was pissing me off lol. I love the new rom now!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

I feel you!! When I go stock it always happens. Its freakin annoyin!!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Wow I can't believe they did that with the new ROM.

Thanks to everyone in this thread.

I flashed to the new NRGZ rom. Works wonderful and thanks to Kill for the fix! I will be using it when I go back to stock ROM (i always do, lol).

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Just ran across this thread this morning after updating to MR rom. I have had alot of text and have not had this problem. I leave by the text my web site sends me new jobs submitted for work.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Thanks for the fix KillAByteZ. Works perfectly!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Does anyone happen to know if there is a fix to allow you to select multiple emails by touch instead of using the menu?

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

To be honest I've noticed this problem on several ROMs. You'll be in a thread talking away, then come out and all the messages show as not read, then you have to go back in, and out again to mark them as read. Very stupid and annoying...

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

I've found this issue too. What I've noticed is that if you have your text message list open, with a new message waiting to be viewed, and you click the person it's from, it'll read one of the messages each time. If you have multiple messages unread, it'll read one at a time each time you click the person.

Example: 3unread. click person -> 1 gets marked -> OK => 2 unread ->click person again -> and so on.

Now, if you press up or down to highlight each message, (as frazell said) it'll mark it as read when highlighted.

Drawback is that if you have the conversation open and get a new message, you HAVE to either highlight it, OR press ok AND go back into it to mark it as read. Pressing OK on an open conversation (that has a newly received message) will NO LONGER mark it as read.

I've tried changing settings in the registry about notifications and such, in vain.

I believe this is a problem with tmail.exe NOT TOUCH FLO 3D. A form of outlook (email accounts type program) that is used for SMS, email... not necessarily Manila/TF3D.
TF3D ports the messages into itself when viewing/replying. sending the same commands to the email program that would happen if viewing in the SMS Inbox. It's just ported out to the nifty skin.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

hey everyone, not sure if you all noticed also witht eh new rom. there seems to be a fix in it for the voice command feature. remember it did not owrk for the touch pro bfore but once i had the new rom installed it works fine even with my bluetooth it tells me what # is calling along with the person if they are in my phone, you can have it go to bluetooth or have your phone announce it thru the speaker also, try it out.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

i haven't update, but it seems that the cab fix the issue with updating the read messages. Thank you

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

The fix works good thank you.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

It's a "FEATURE" much like many of Microsoft's "Features". I'm surprised they don't try and charge us for it.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

thank you KillAByteZ that worked perfectly!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Youre very welcome. I appreciate all the "thank yous".

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

ok now i have an other question for you. i know this might be in the wrong thread but. do you know when WM 6.5 well be available for the verizon touch pro 2 (CDMA)?

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Not trying to hijack the thread but does this newer Rom relock the phone? I'm going to be returning the phone to stock and was going to flash the shipped rom which would relock my phone but I was wondering if I have to flash that old shipped rom then this or can I just flash this?

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

you can flash to this. but this does not relock your phone. YOU are going to have to run the relocker to relock.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

I tried a .cab like this (Mark SMS Messages as Read Fix.cab) and I thought I noticed that the timestamps were randomly set back an hour. This could have been a number of other things, have any of you guys noticed this?

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Thank goodness I'm not the only one with this problem! The people at the store and at Sprint acted like I was crazy.

I got sent a refurb from Sprint last week that has the new ROM and the text bug. I went into the store complaining about it, and the manager there called tech support at sprint, which then went to advanced tech support, and finally to some other level. I was told that it was just how the new ROM worked, so it was a "non-device issue". Of course, I countered with the fact that "the one I bought didn't have this bug" but basically got nowhere -- I was told to just wait for sprint to release another update, with no time frame or even assurance one would be coming (FAT CHANCE). It really is a frustrating bug. And this phone STILL overheats and quit charging within 15 minutes of a phone call at my house, and has locked up about every other day. =\

And what I heard somewhere else, is that this is how WM works in certain builds. Can anyone confirm if this ROM has a different build of WM than the last one?

I mean, I CAN unlock the phone and put a cooked ROM on it no problem, but we're technically not supposed to do that, and it can invalidate warranties and such. I know, relock it and send it back, but really, sprint ought to fix this one.

On second thought, I guess could download the old stock ROM and put on here, too, but I'd like to force some kind of action out of Sprint at this point. Since the problem remains after a hard reset, and another TP will have the same problem should they do an exchange, maybe I can weasel a TP2 out of them? :D

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

hmmm - cab broke my txting on my TP2 latest build of mighty rom (12-06-09) Had to uninstall - I was really looking forward to it - anyone have a working fix for tp2?

When I installed it, I would open up messaging but once I clicked a text it wouldn't open at all.

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Yeah I don't think this is an answer for the TP2. Below is a cab that fixed the issue, but maaayy have broken timestamps (Texts would randomly have a timestamp that was behind by 1 hour, which could have been caused by something else, or this attached cab)

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Is there a fix for the Telephone notification of an inbound call? Used to have the choice of vibrate, ring, silent or vibrate & ring. Cannot find the latter option.

Thanks

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Loser's SMS fix in post 12 of this thread worked perfectly on my Touch Pro. Give it a shot!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

Thank You so much, I have been searching all over the web trying to find this exact problem and a fix. I thought it was from restoring the messages from my old phone causing the problem and it was driving me crazy!

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

what exactly does this cab do? would it be possible for you to just provide us with that so I don't have to install anything?

don't get me wrong I'm grateful, this has been driving me CRAZY

Re: Newest stock Sprint ROM, SMS not being marked as read problem
 

ok, i'm not a noob at this by any means. i had a ppc6800 or mogul before this. i updated my tp around thanksgiving. it worked beautifully. except for the fact that i couldn't select multiple messages through dragging. i figured that out. then through surfing the forums found that someone posted a cab file fix for the sms problem. the other problem i have encountered is that my slide to answer didn't work. i slid it and it continued to ring. then i touched in the middle where it originates and it showed up there. then i hit the hard button to answer. that didn't work either. since then i had to get a replacement tp. which came preloaded with the new rom. it has the same issue with the slide to answer. i've contacted both htc and sprint and all they told me is that it's not a known issue and to hard reset my tp. i hard reset the damn thing before loading any of my programming or contacts into it when it comes to ANY replacement. anyone have any ideas. this is pissing me off and i am missing way too many phone calls. on a side note, it works only when it decides to.
