Palm Threader problems wm6

When I install the Palm Threader SMS application everyone gets 5-6 copies of the same message from me over several days. Restore from backup so its not installed and the problem goes away. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to solve it?
I am always open to new threader applications. SMS Threader, a freeware application, just doesn't quite cut it for several reasons.

It's a known issue. No fix for it... I had to uninstall it.

Ah, OK. I searched but nothing came up. May have needed to broaden my search.
Any other solutions for threading?

I too had the same problem and ended up uninstalling it. Love the premise but .............. SMS threader was notgood for me either.

I've been using it for some time with no problems...at least none that anyone's told me about. I've texted myself and it only goes through once...

Palm certainly got it right with the threaded SMS and MMS.. why hasn't somebody come up with a decent solution for WM? MADNESS!

It doesn't happen all the time. But when it does your textees will let you know. Sometimes it happens hours later.

anyone else notice that it takes away the email autofill when installed? that was the only issue i had with it. like no when i go to type an email address i just have to type one letter and the autofill will pop up. when i had that installed it wouldnt pop up any more

Text Man , O2 SMS Plus

I have been using the palm one for ages. Well at least a month on WM6 and not once has anyone ever told me about multiple texts. Also i have installed it on loads of other WM6 phones and then we do the classic text each other just to make sure it is all working. Not once have these ever duplicated. I am sure if it was a problem then i would have noticed by now.
Weird

I am using it for few months now no issue...
the only problem is it do not work with jeyo any more so i loose all my SMS when i upgrade the ROM... any solution..

You can backup your messages by closing the palm app down and copying the file PalmMsgV001 from the windows directory.

I have used it on WM5 and WM6. I have never had the same complaint when using the standard text messaging application. The fact that is happens to some and not others is just how it goes I guess.

weird though because i have not seen a prob ever on any of my phones. Not on my hermes with any of the LVSW roms, or Black 2.5 or on my universal with WM6.
I wonder whether there are dif versions of the palm app floating around.

You may be onto something there.

Is their a build number anywhere in the Palm App?
Also, there must be an official WM6 version somewhere. Isnt there going to be a WM6 ROM in a month or so?

The most common problem of duplicated texts from the threaded app is from closing the program after you send it... im not talking minimizing it, im talking actually closing it, like with HTC X button or magic button, etc... and this isnt actually a problem with the threaded app, this is a problem with WM period.. If you close the app before the sms fully sends then the app tries again, and again, etc.. now there may be other issues, but this is the most common.

Can't read text messages on Dash 6.1 - Only Header

I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.

What Rom are you using?

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.

See is UNthreading them helps.

Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe

I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.

No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.

I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.

DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.

hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice

also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"

You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.

i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now

SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".

change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode

Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.

Sent SMS not displaying in TF3D interface

Pretty much what the title says. Texts go through but don't show up. If I send them from the windows mobile generic messiging they always do show. In the TF3D skin (for lack of a better term) the show intermittently. I have the stock sprint rom, and disabled the sent notification. Thinking this may be the problem, I re enabled it to no avail.
Any ideas? This is my only gripe with the phone. Much better than the touch pro original junk I did have five of.
Thanks in advance.

Probably not threading properly, due to timestamp error. check at the top of your texts, should see all sent texts at top. If so, go to htc support, enter your phone/carrier, and you'll be directed to downloads for your TP2, which will have an SMS/Timestamp Hotfix to download, will fix all SMS problems.

Sometimes when I'm texting through the HTC interface, sent messages won't pop up higher than the text input box, but they're still there...I just have to manually scroll down to see them. That may not be your issue, but I wanted to make sure that possiblity just didn't get overlooked

i don't think sense is supposed to show sent messages

I had already installed the 2016 hotfix. If I try to reinstall it, I get a wrong device error. When the texts do show up, the date is correct.
I don't have sense, its the stock sprint 6.1 rom.
I gather this is a pretty unique problem, since googling the hell out of it doesn't get any complaints like it showing up.
I am guessing its in the TF3D interface, since it always works in windows, and I have tried hard resetting, but that doesn't fix it. I did discover it is present in a bone stock config no cabs or anything other than what is in the rom installed, it still does it.
Do I need to demonstrate it to sprint and ask for another device? I am really getting sick of fighting with sprint. The touch pros I had were all crap and getting them to replace it with just a touch pro was a chore, let alone finally getting this TP2. They kept wanting to put me in a RAZR or a Snap. Wow, what a great deal there!

Text Message Inbox - Slow Loading

I have an issue when I am reading a text message and then click OK to go back to my inbox. It will show the inbox but also show remnants of the text message I just read at the top of the screen. It is locking the phone up for about 15 seconds. It seems as though it has to reload all of my messages in my inbox. This is a Tilt 2 with the stock rom on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I didnt have much experience with the ATT stock ROM...but with most custom ROMS that include the HTC Text Messenger it is a common problem. I changed to a Custom ROM that doesnt include the HTC messenger....and uses the Windows Mobile Text Message interface..much quicker. The latest Energy ROMS utilize the Windows Mobile Text interface.
Might try clearing out old text messages if they are not important...should help with load times.

I've tried that. Upon browsing HTC's website I found this hotfix. Sounds promising.
Hotfix: Hotfix: TILT 2 Freezes in SMS application | 12.17.2009
This Hotfix when installed prevents the device from becoming sluggish and/or freezing in the SMS application on the device. This is NOT a ROM update and you will not lose your data. Also, these files will survive a Hard Reset so they need only to be installed once.

HTC released a new hot"fix" a couple days ago, but it only works for European phones, and according to at least one person, it doesn't work anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718297&page=2
I have heard that switching to a ROM without the HTC client does help.
Microsoft/HTC really should issue a new ROM. This is a well-documented problem to a basic, core function and it was known about immediately after WM6.5 was sent out. There's no way no one found out about this before it was released. Now I really don't like Apple products or their fanboys, but you have to give them credit in that they at least address their issues in some form or another.

Too many SMS now messages won't work!

Hi all,
Having looked around I don't see anyone with the same issue as mine with regards to SMS.
I just got a new Nexus 2 days ago, and got the 4.0.4 update by doing the clear cache thing. All good.
I installed SMSBackup+ and started to restore all my text messages. Now I have about 21,000. Honestly I have no idea how I have that many, its possible some are dupes or something, I really don't know. But basically I left it to restore them overnight and woke up this morning with all my messages restored. Lovely.
But now, I tried to send a text to someone and it just froze. I quit to the home screen, went to go back to the message app but it just sits with a black screen doing nothing.
I presume its got something to do with it trying to load all the messages for the first time or something like that but I'm a bit gutted that it can't handle it. My old Galaxy S could handle them all with ease.
Is this a known issue on the GNex or am I asking too much with the volume of SMSs??
I'm a bit gutted if I've bought this brand new state of the art phone and it can't handle what my two year old SGS could!

It might have been the case that a couple of messages were corrupt. Try clearing the sms data and restoring again but only blocks at a time. If that doesn't work the messaging app might have an issue since your now running ics.
This could be an issue that hasn't been explored as your not the average user. I for 1 limit my messages at 200 a contact.

Thanks RT, but its so slow/congested it won't let me delete them either! I tried by going into the message app and choosing delete threads.
It loads every time I reboot the phone but if I do anything on it at all, it just shows me a black screen.
On first load I can see all the messages, but if I go into one of them, even one that is only 2 threads long, it just freezes on me.
Any idea how I can delete the SMS data without going through the message app?
Or am I staring down the barrel at a factory reset? (this isn't the end of the world as I only got the phone yesterday and haven't really installed anything yet)

Right then,
So instead of trying to do something with the stock message app to delete the sms messages, I downloaded delete old messages app and ran that before loading up the stock message software.
I think the next time I restore them I will try and put the 200 cap on them like my SGS did (I thought this was a limitation of the phone not an actual setting that I could adjust! I presume I'll find it in the stock SMS settings somewhere?)
Thanks for the help RT.

I've had that issue since froyo. anytime I restore thousands of texts, the messaging app just hangs. On the rare occasion it'll come to life but for the most part unusable. only solution seems to be to restore a small portion of your texts or have a blank slate

Quit being so popular. Too many SMS.

I made a second label in my GMail I call SMS Backup and every few weeks I'll change my backed-up messages from SMS to the Backup label so when/if I wipe and restore, it doesn't pull in all my messages. If I need anything, I can easily search for it.

To delete your messages / settings go into the sms app under Settings-Apps and clear all your data.
Yes you find the sms limit setting in the general setting within the sms app.
