Does anyone know how to make WM6.1 work with the Tmoblie Trigger mail? I installed 6.1 and tried to do the WM5/6 hack that works but had no luck. I had 6.1 on my phone for a few days and liked a lot of its features, but really like the Tmobile Trigger mail so went back to 6.

What is the trigger mail feature just wondering?
Trigger Mail Feature
TMobile has a hybrid push mail that was available under WM5. Basically what happens is you give TMobile.com you email address, POP & SMTP settins plus password. They then monitor you inbox. When an email is recieved thier server generates a text message that triggers you phone to check your email. The text message is invisible to the user and is automatically deleted. The advantage is that you do not have to set you phone to check email every 5min, 15 mins etc. You phone only checks when triggered to do so.
Here is probably a better discription;

Anyone have a solutuion for this? Anyone using this feature? Am I the only one that still does? I have 3 email addresses that TM triggers my phone for, most emails arrive in my phone within minutes of being sent.
Uses a txt message? I guess that wouldnt work for me. I dont need unlimited txts, but have unlimited data...so I just have wm 6.1 poll my inboxes every 5 minutes
Call T-Mobile and ask them?
Tmobile does not support WM6.1 on the Dash, and they don't support trigger mail on anything past WM5.
Anyone? You guys always amaze me with the way you can figure anything out, don't let me down now. Am I the only one who uses this? Is there something better out there?
Here I will look into this and get to you asap
I dont think T-Mo charges your account for the trigger mail sms.
If you don't have unlimited Text they will charge you. I am lucky and still have the Tmobile Mail and More plan that includeds unlimited data, text, sms, wifi and 1000 min for $69. I will hold on to that plan until they come up with 3G.
The trigger mail does work great though, don't know why they quit supporting it after WM5

How can we still get this?
You have to go to your account on Tmobile.com then goto Communications Tools. Once there you will see a section that labled "About E-Mail' Click on the learn more tab. Once here you will see a picture of your Dash, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you will is a link that says 'Still want to continue using Windows Mobile 5' if you click here it will take you to a screen where you can set you can set up you email boxes. Basically you tell Tmobile your email addresses, passwords, and pop/smtp settings. Then turn on the alerts feature.
Now Tmobile will silently alert your phone when ever an email is received in any of your configured accounts. This SMS alert triggers your phone to sign on and retrieve then new messages.
If you are using WM6 you have to add several files from WM5 to make your phone work correctly. I have these files but wont post them here unless a moderator tells me it is ok. The files needed from WM5 are
MyEmSMP.exe
TMMEPluginEnabler.exe
InBoxDriverSrv.dll
TmMapirule.dll
TmUtil.dll
tmyemail.dll

With this enabled your phone only checks email when triggered instead of every 5, 15 minutes depending on how your phone is currently set.
It works great, I would just like it to work with WM6.1 also, I am just smart enough to make it happen.

I cant attach to a PM for some reason but I sent you a link a site I made with the files. It's open you should be able to get in
I still remember reading on the T-Mo site the Trigger SMS are free but it might be based on having a certain plan.
You have to read the fine print. They are free if you have a SMS plan. Each trigger = 1 text message. When they started doing this with the first Tmobile PocketPC phone the plans for that phone all came with unlimited text. I started with the original Tmobile PPC phone, then the HP6300 and had that when I went to my Dash. I still have the plan from my 6300, Tmobile would probably love me to give it up since I get everything for $69, Tzones, Data, Text, 1000min, Nights & Weekends....
I have been using this on every phone since it first came out on the T-Mobile HP IPAQ. I do not have unlimited test and it does not use text but triggers the phone to convert 701 codes to the actual email. Now you do have to have thier internet option at 19.95 a month. I too love it and have switched from 6.1 back to 6.0 because of this single application. Thats ow much I love it.. (one thing that is different is I am using a PPC)
Glad to hear that I am not the only one who loves Trigger Mail. I really want to move to 6.1, if someone could just get this to work it would be great.
Can someone with a slide and handcent 3.0.4 test something for me?
Can you try and send yourself a MMS PICTURE and see if handcent will display it?
I'm currently having the follwing issue when the following happens
Send a MMS picture using handcent to another phone using handcent the MMS comes through blank with a <Subject:> only bubble.
HOWEVER if I open the thread in the default messaging the picture is there as a picture (not a slideshow).
If I send a MMS with the default app to another phone using handcent it displays fine. (viewing the same thread in default messaging shows the image as a "slideshow")
If I receive a MMS from a phone using handcent handcent displays it empty (but the default app shows the picture, again as a "image" not slideshow)
I tried this on two slides tonight with the same results. Mine and my sisters. My sisters' had NO other apps installed, just handcent.
I'd really like someone else with a slide to try to send yourself a MMS and post what happens here. (compose a new message, hit menu, hit attach, hit picture, add a picture, hit send)
And maybe try to send another handcent user a MMS the same way and another slide user if possible.
MMS works perfectly as long as its not from another handcent user
I'll check it out in the morning.
My mms won't even go thru on my phone with handcent
I don't do alot of MMS on my phone, but I just tried this for the first time today, and you're correct sir.
Messages just show up blank with the <Subject: no subject> line in there. I also can't seem to send MMS to other people (wife's g1) at all, they just don't make it to her.
Everything works correctly with the stock messaging app, but I really don't like the stock messaging app. Anyone think we could get the apk for the messaging app from a g1 or something?
handcent might need to update the app in order to send the mms properly

Thanks, I'm glad it's not my slides.
Also, can you try to attach from the camera and see if it sends out a pic?
(menu -> attach -> camera, take picture, click send)
It doesn't send anything for me, it just saves a picture on the card.

Same thing. Saves the pic on the card but doesn't actually attach it.
http://bbs.handcent.com might be good to start a thread there, although I asked a question a while back and nobody ever got back to me on it.
yeah I have a long thread going there with a guy.
It's probaby something with the slide and/or sense
It came through 40 min later and was blank. couldn't view it in handcent. i'm gonna send them an email
Has anybody been getting app updates in the market with their MTS with T-Mobile?

Yes. A few days ago I couldn't see Handcent, now I can.
There is an article on phandroid about google fixing something with the market in the past few days.
Handcent is back up and running good
I searched for a solution for this and I hope this has not been covered. I bought my wife a 3g slide and she loves it...I think it its pretty cool too...but here is my issue she has only her T-Mobile contacts visible and they are all synced w/ Facebook. But when she uses the messaging app ALL of her Facebook friends that included a number on their info become click-able...very annoying!
Is there a way to tun this off without losing the functionality of having the phone contacts synced...? Said another way her contact app works great b/c the FB contacts are hidden (there is an option to only show certain contacts) ....but when using the messaging app they are ALL visible there is NO option to only show certain contacts.
Any advice would be appreciated...I am a WinMo guy and this is out of my wheel house.
Go into contacts and hit menu...view and it'll give you a list of contact groups to show/hide...

I have already done that...I think you misunderstood my question. The issue is not with the contact app...I have the unwanted contacts hidden there. The problem is when I tap try to compose a new text meassgae...then it displays ALL the Facebook contacts....maybe there is no way to hid them on the messaging app?
Edit: I guess it it is not problem to initiate a new text message from the contact app...but it would be nice if there was a away to hide the FB contacts in the MESSAGING app...

As far as I know the only way to do such a thing would be to disable Facebook contact sync.

That is what I thought...no big deal...if anyone know a way let me know.
Back on the G1, i used to use Contact Sender. It was quick and simple.
It doesnt work with Android 2.0 and up.
I tried the premier, but it doesnt work with my G2. Using CM6.1
I started using CIACS Contact Sender, which works for numbers, but not for the rest of the contact info...address..etc...
Contact Sender(premier) works however, I have to click a few extra things each time i want to send something...then choose the sms button to actually get it to send.
Also on (premier) I cant type a name to auto filter contacts, I have to manually scroll :/
Anyone else experiencing this?
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.
Having a small issue with contacts. I can get twitter/FB to sync pics and status updates for everyone of my contacts, but not for myself. I am running CM7 RC1. I know this isnt a big thing, but I dont understand if it can like for every other contact why it wont pull my own info for mine.
It will if you make a contact with your info in it

There is already a contact with my info on it.

Well, technically, you aren't a "friend" of yourself on facebook, nor do you follow yourself on twitter, so they have nothing to link to. Just download your profile picture onto your phone and manually attach it to your contact. I don't even have a contact for myself, I don't see the point.
One potential reason for having yourself as a contact is having your own picture show up in SMS conversations.
Ah, I use handcent sms, where you can manually set your own contact picture without actually creating your own contact, I guess that's why I don't have a contact for myself.
Like I said, just download your profile picture to your phone and manually set it as your contact picture? That should work just fine.
