Has anyone installed the SMS Threaded app while using Exchange push email with their Treo? Based on a post I saw, it is recommended to delete all text messages in your inbox as well as all email. Text messages I don't mind, but I don't want to have to clear my inbox of emails.

Wow codyppc you are one dedicated person. I never thought someone would spend a half an hour first thing in the morning to help out a handful of people. Especially when you have to answer the same questions over and over again when they are explained pretty well to begin with. I know its frustrating. (no offense to anyone asking questions, just showing my appreciation).

I must say I very much appreciate what you and others are doing for this community. I'm a noob to the treo and Windows Mobile, but I have learned a great deals worth from you and others on this forum (and the others out there). I only wish to one day contribute like you guys do. Keep it up!

by the way, you didn't answer my question about phonealarm though... haha jk.

If you are using exchange push, you can delete all your emails and then re-sync. Everything should come right back.

Katie,

This was a bear to figure out. I fixed mine by going into NewMenu and making changes. I'm not sure what exactly made it work right.

I changed the button to opt-send, reset and then returned it to the left soft-key. I also checked the "specify position box" and reset again.

Now when I press the left softkey entitled "New", I get both "SMS" and "Messaging" but the "SMS" option brings up the New Menu options I had before. One of my options was "SMS" and it does bring up the new Palm Messaging app to create a new text message. The "Messaging" option brings up the inbox.

I think the soft resets are critical. HTH

You did number #1 on the list of things I provided. Did you try #2-#5?

6. Update poutlook to have attachments stored on your card. This will not reduce memory now but will save you later.

was the SMS Patch (Sprint fix) integrated into this beta 4 file? And if so by replacing all those files have we overwritten the sms patch if we installed it before? Just curious

nyc_rock

At first glance this is awsome. Excellent integration as well.

Thanks Cody.

Adding that Phone alarm does recognize the new text messages and alerts you.
Bonus, when you send a message using this app you dont get that stupid confirmation message. Sweetness.

Ok so I found out my problem after a few hours of playing around. Basically what happened is I tried to install the cab file on my desktop and then copy it my device.

Do not do that...install the Palm Thread cab file directly to your pda as it is, and install the file from there.

Everything else works just as described and now i'm excited about this new app! I tend to make things complicated so that's what my problem was. Now..... time to learn some more new things!

good job cody. i dont really understand why people have problems working with this because the directions are laid out perfectly. even in the earlier betas it was easy to install

nyc_rock

Does anybody know if this will work on a XV6700?

I use push email and have never deleted them before installing. I could see how deleteing sms messages before installing would help, but email? I don't know if that would make a difference. I didn't put the "delete all you answered sms messages" in the instructions cause I always delete mine anyway after I have read them (in the old app). I do plan on adding this to the first post.

I do know that from day one people had problems with un-answered sms message being left when installing.

codyppc

thank you for saying all that great stuff about me. I will send you your money later. lol. jk.

sorry for not answering earlier. I use this app with phonealarm everyday. the only problem is if I send a sms to my self pa show it as a voicemail. no other problems.

codyppc

there is another way. before beta 4 of this app we manually changed this left key. it was known as "the left soft key hack". you could search for it on this site and find it, or on ppcgeeks.com. just deleteing the key "112" that the hack has you make would restore the original soft key. this hack has been added the the beta 4 so people don't have to do it manually. I will try to find the link later. if someone else finds it first, please post a link here for others.

thanks, cody

codyppc

no, you still have to run the 700wx sprint sms patch if you have software version 1.13. version 1.14 has it in the rom.

codyppc

here is a link to that thread on "the left sofkey hack". http://treo.discuss.treocentral.com/...d.php?t=127735

this was to create it. deleteing the key that this thread has you create will bring it back to the original.

Beryl

Funny. After all of the things I did with NewMenu, my system looks the same as it would if I'd manually hacked it. The HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\ entries were built for me and correctly defined to point to the app:

germster

does anyone use it with the verizon treo 700w

codyppc

new menu uses the same part of the registry to edit it's key as the sms app. you can put any app there and call it what you want.

this link is more for those that would just want it back to the original.

all you had to do was reinstall "new menu". it then would have changed "keys/ 122"

codyppc

probably close to 1000 treo central users. before version wx release the w made up a little more than half of us here.

the only thing with the w is the size. you need to have room to install the app.

yes i have deleted it.
