Official Threaded SMS Discussion (chat style texting) - Page 5

Hey guys, I'm new to this using smartphones/pocket PCs. I just got my Sprint Mogul yesterday, but I've been trying to read up a lot on it for the past week or two so I had what programs and such I wanted kinda of planned out.

Anyway, so I got the WM6 Threaded SMS application installed on my mogul and I ran into the same problem that many people are also which is that the virtual keyboard covers the typing portion of it. So this thread gave me the only viable option of changing the SIP Dragstyle from 0 to 1 so that my keyboard is draggable, however, I did not use the Resco keyboard as recommended because I like using the PocketCM Keyboard.

Now the problem is that when I change the dragstyle to "draggable" (1) then it puts that bar on top of my keyboard so i can drag it but it also pushes my keyboard down so that the entire last row of keys are now not visible. I was wondering if there was some way that maybe someone knew or could figure out how to get it to not push down they keyboard like that or to maybe increase that keyboard window size.

P.S. It does this to both the oem keyboard and to the PCM keyboard.

Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks everyone!

Anyone notice that when receiving sms using latest codyppc threaded sms wm6, that if you are on the sprint touch home screen, the top and bottom notifications show up, but the sprint htc home sms counter does not change? If I am on any screen but home it seems to increment.

This used to happen to me randomly when I had the app on my Mogul, I don't use the app anymore though.

It's probably how the app and Outlook handle new messages differently because of the thread. I don't really know how it'd work, but it's my best guess

Does ANYONE have any software or any ways to backup these palm threaded messages? I really need this and can't find any way to do it

any help would be incredible..

Edit for more context: hoping for a way to take the palmmsgvol001 file and convert it into something that can either be used in cemail or viewed on the desktop as a txt csv or anything else.

Remember to search the answers out there, this has been asked and answered before.

There's a file in the \Windows directory called PalmMsgVol001 or something like that. Just copy it and you are done, paste it again in the \Windows directory to restore your threaded SMS.

Uhmmm I know it has been asked before, but I believe no way of editing the file has been found, or at least I have not heard of it

Not useless at all. Just use the full screen keyboard since it has its own text window. It's easily the best keyboard that I've used on the Touch.

ill stay with pocketcm for now it actually works perfectly, and in both areas without having to sacrifice

Different strokes. I hate how slow pocketcm is. I can fly with the spb keyboard. I guess that I don't have trouble remembering what I've just written.

No telling when WM6.1 Pro will be released as an update for our phones, if at all. Waiting for the WM6 threaded SMS to be ripped from the 750.
