E-mail multi-select not working... :-( - HD2 General

Hi there people!!.... Wow, it's been a while since I last posted something here!!
I have just received my new (and quite beautifull) HD2.... it works just great.. but there's one tiny problem, maybe someone can help me
After downloading my mail to the device I tried to delete all the messages in one folder, but I just can delete one by one... Everytime I try to drag to select several mail the HD2 keeps scrolling up or down and I can only select one message at a time... Is there any way for doing this??? Can't believe this silly programming mistake.
If I can't do multi-selection on my e-mail then the e-mail on the HD2 is useless crap... HELP PLEASE!!!

I think there is a select message option in the menu at right bottom of the inbox screen.

That would have been the most intelligent idea for HTC... but nope... there isn't such option...
My logic tells me to go to the classic Edit menu and click Select All... but it does not exists...
Any other solution?? can't believe I'm the only one with this problem!
thanks!!!!

Open the inbox and go to Menu. You'll have to scroll down to see it, but there is a Select Messages option. You want the "Several" option in there.
You can then select multiple messages.

Yep... is was as easy as that... Thank you both for the tip!
I'm still not used to scrolling down on menus that don't have scroll bars... I think I must be missing a lot of configs because of this!!
Cheers Mates!

theres a very faint scrollbar on the white pop-up menus, a little hard to see sometimes!

SMS: "read"

Hello!
First I want to thank you for your great Forum!!!
I have a question, which I hope someone can answer:
Is it possible to attach a option "read" to the Popup, which opens when a SMS arrives. I can only choose "delete", "save as unread", ...
But there is no possibility to choose READ???!
Can anyone help me to solve this Problem??
Thx a lot
Korbi
Pls Help!!!
Or is it possible that i am in the wrong section here???
Greetz Korbi
Is it really 'save as unread'?
I have Delete, Call Sender, Save as READ and Dismiss in my soft menu.
May be your ROM is different. I am using latest imate ROM
Sorry!
Of course it is "save as read"! But still you cant choose "read" either, can you?

"save as read" option is exactly the thing as the "read" option you are looking for. No reason for a read option in the popup.

I got the same problem.. You receive an sms. get the small teaser. now it would be great to click on a "read" button that opens the sms to read the whole text.
if i click on "save as read", then the sms is saved a read, but does not open. if it was a large sms, i still dont know what was the whole text...

if there is a large message i have "VIEW" option on the right hard button (on screen) so... VIEW = READ (the whole message)
Wisely, the VIEW option only shows if the message is bigger than the popup window dimensions

Yes thats right. I already knew. But sometimes I wnt to read even short SMS in a hole New Window. The Popup fades after a short time. And this is sometimes to short, to read all the information.

Heyya
Im not 100% sure what your trying to achieve, will going to "messaging" in your start menu and opening SMS help?
3rd party software might be your only solution if not.

Yeah, of course that will work. But I want to have it instantly. If I get a message, there is a Popup which shows the content. But after few seconds the popup closes and there is only a hint. When I click the hint the popup comes again and closes again after few seconds. So I want an option to READ the sms, where the whole text stays until I close. Or a option READ where Messaging opens with the SMS (same as it is with longer SMS)
Thx
Korbi
Sorry if some explanations are wrong, but I have a German XDA Neo
oh yeap now i understand, appologies.
i'll see if there is a registry change that can delay the time of the notification of SMS display. Im sure there will be one as it appears to always hold for the same period of time on the screen before minimizing.
in the mean time try handango and trial some software for a PIM mod to the SMS display.
good luck till then.

Bulk Delete Emails

One thing that annoyed me about the iphone was having to delete every individual email to clear the inbox. Then, you'd have to go into the trash folder and start manually deleting them from there too. WM was great for this, you'd just hit "clear inbox" and they would all dissappear. hurrah!
Android/hero seems to have copied the stupid iphone method. or... am i missing something? is there a better way to delete items from the inbox?
In the Mail app, press the menu button and select delete. Then you are able to select multiple messages to delete in one go

Yeah, thats what i'm refering too. If you had 50 emails you'd have to tap each one individually to delete it.
No, you don't.
When you are in the screen to select which messages you want to delete, click Menu again. It will give you the options to Mark all or Unmark All. This way you can delete ALL messages in one go. Remember that the Menu button changes screen over screen, many hidden functionality is there

Navigating E-Mails

Done a search but didn't come up with much, so apologies if it's been asked before.
Is there an option/reg hack that means you can select e-mails in an inbox without opening them? With the lack of directional buttons and touch only, I can't navigate to an e-mail that I just want to delete rather than read.
Any tips?
Thanks
Tim

While you are in inbox, open the right soft menu & in select messages option select several.
Now, select messages you want to delete & keeping over any one of selected messages click & hold.
Now you get an option to delete the messages you have selected.

a few questions

hi guys
i have a few questions about the HD2
1) can i assign different ringtones to different contact groups
( i did not see it in the group options )
2) i tried to send a file to a friend using bluetooth , in the file options there was a send... option but it didn't specify send with BT , mms , email
and when i tried to send the file it said it was to big ( BT is not supposed to have size transfer limit )
i think thats it for now
thanks in advance
hey for the 2nd one i could help
press and hold the file you want to send and it should come up with a pop-up menu which should have send file vie bluetooth at the top (or something like that)
i recently sent over a 18mb file and it worked fine.

Use SIP Change to make the keyboard permanent.
There's also touch pal but i don't like it. Finger keyboard is pretty good.

Hiya...firstly for the Group Setup:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Slide the bottom task bar across to the third icon, the "group" icon.
4. Select the "New" text from the option box to create a Group Name.
5. Select the "Add" button and select all the people you want to assign to group.
6. Select "Done" at bottom of phone.
7. Select "Done" for the second time.
You can repeat this for all the groups you want to set up.
For the ringtones:
1. You can either go to "All People" list...as above.
2. Select the persons namefrom the Group you have set up.
3. Select "Edit Contact" on screen.
4. Scroll down the page...you can now assign a "ringtone" from the option box.
And finally, to transfer your contacts from your SIM:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Select the "Menu" text link at bottom right of phone.
4. Select the "Import SIM Contacts" from the pop up menu.
Now have a cold drink and sit back and admire what you have just done!

Seems like you are assigning a ringtone to the contact, not to the group. I can't find a way to do it for a whole group.

Email and message program question

I didnt like the way the emails and messages opened in the home tab, ie it goes straight to the latest message so I added the mail and messages programs from the start menu to my quick links which corrects these problems. However, there is no notifications on the quick links to notify me if I've got a message or not. Is there a way you can get notifications to come up like it does on the home tabs?

You can set notifications to show on screen messages for these events, yeah.
Go to Settings, All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab) and when you go to message or new email message, you can set it to "Display message on screen".
Hope this helps

Unfortunately not because if I go into settings I don't have an option for 'All settings'. The only option I can find for notifications is under display and sounds, and I can only change the sounds and vibrate for notifications. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry - it's the settings tab, then Menu, then All settings.
It's frustrating because All Settings is what the settings icon in the start menu used to do, and some people have modified the registry so that it's back that way (me included), so when you want someone to go to settings, you have to actually tell them to go to the settings tab, then menu, then all settings, when you just want the bloody windows settings screen!! lol

Thanks, I never even knew that all settings was even there.I'll see if that works, cheers
The notification wasn't exactly what I was after, with the fix suggested above a pop up comes up saying new sms which is not exactly what I was after. What I wanted was something like on the messages on the tabs where you get a green circle superimposed with a number of how many messages you have. Can that be done?
Ah - I see what you're saying now. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Have you looked at MaxManila at all? That does exactly what you're asking.
