so after installing windows 6.1 do you still use pocketcm or are you just using the threaded messaging for texting ? i have never seen 6.1 in action really, did they change much in the contact manager? does pocketcm play nice with 6.1?

Yeah I am presently using .21 also. In 6.1, did they pretty up the contact manager at all, or does it look just like 6.0?

I had this problem before when I switched the sound to something I had downloaded and placed into the proper folder. The new notification sound worked for a few times, but then would quit all of a sudden. A soft reset would bring it back, but also just for a few times. I switched back to the default sound and it's been fine ever since...not sure what's up with that!

I'm still on .19 but I believe its up to .22 now. Works fine they play together fairly well. But use WM side more since its threaded now.

The problem was most likely that you were using an MP3 for your notification sound. There is a thread lurking around with someone, including myself, experiencing this problem.

Convert/create the sound as a WAV file, (low-bitrate,) and you will be fine.

I still have problems with lag during notifcation playback:

E.G. I get a text, but my notification skips/stutters, and takes sometimes 10 seconds to play a 1-second file. The phone vibrates the entire time, because I told it to vibrate when I get an alert.

Yet another problem with the Vogue, yippee!

Back on track though, I might start using PocketCM 0.22 on WM6.1, simply because poutlook still sucks for scrolling through contacts. Writing SMS messages is fine, and threaded SMS works great, but the actual contact list could be better. If PocketCM is too obtrusive, I'll see if I like "Finger Friendly." It lets you send your GPS coordinates, as well as a link to a map to show where you are via SMS. Pretty cool stuff.

Yeah, I am just sticking to the stock sound...I am used to it. Ringtones and stuff like that aren't that important to me.

Didn't know they had a new version out, going to have to check out .22.

Have you ever tried icontacts? Do a search on here for it, pretty nifty program. It doesn't show the pictures of the contacts, but it's much better at scrolling through them. Another nice thing it had was a fullscreen grid with letters in each square corresponding to peoples names starting with that letter, made navigating pretty painless. I do like the extra features PocketCM has though, so I am gonna stick with it for now.
