Shogun SMS text area hidden by keyboard

boe · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-2007, 10:25 AM

Hello,

I'm using a text messaging program (shogun) and it is great because it keeps track of the text messages back and forth but when I pull up the keyboard to reply, I can't seen what I'm typing because the keyboard is over the reply area. Is there a similar program that doesn't have this issue or is there a way to make shogun move the reply area to the top?

Are you talking pocket CM for the keyboard or the other app? I was going to check out their site to try out the other app but their page won't come up.

Weird, the site may be down for a bit.. But no, I'm talking about the PocketCM contact manager, it has built in threaded SMS and is very finger friendly, however it does not work well with the 20-key keboard but works perfectly with the pocketcm keyboard

Thanks - It came back up a couple of hours ago. I tried contact manager but had a number of issues with it. I tried both the 15 and 16 beta - neither worked properly for me. I started a thread on it in the PCM forums because it shows potential. Frankly the Palm one is by far the simplest to install and use - I'm just bumming it isn't made for touch screen yet. I understand it was designed for hardkey phones but I can hope they'll get it working for touchscreen as well because it just plain works - no tweaks, mods or anything else. I also tried IMSMS and it didn't seem to work well yet either. Both show potential but neither is ready for prime time IMHO.

Here is what I posted on PCM.

I'd click on a contact, SMS - it doesn't open up a text area, just no sms records. I'd press the send button and it would not work (I'm aware it is set for 250ms) - tried different amounts of time and it wouldn't work - I'd reset, press send and sometimes it would let me start a new message. As long as I started a message OK I could send.

Then once I got the message - it was hard to tell which was incoming or outgoing - I like the arrows on the palm app

For some reason it would sometimes pop up with a white skin - others with a black - not sure why.

The same options came up for the messages I sent as the ones I received - resend etc - not sure what that was for.

I tried uninstalling, resetting and reinstalling twice - no luck.

I have seen if you have the threaded app pocketcm's threaded program doesnt work

Thanks - I gave that a try - seems to work at the moment. I'll give it a try for a few days. I'll post a new thread since I can't seem to figure out how to get SPB Phone suite to open it instead of the default Windows Text message when clicking on the icon for text messages.
