SMS Scrolling

[Pyrofer]

For some reason, when I open an SMS in my Text messages inbox, it starts at the bottom of the page, so i have to scroll up to the top to read it!

Im sure it didnt do this when I got the phone, but now it does.
Any ideas?

Try changing the way the message is sorted. Just tap a the small triangle below the close (X) button. Hopefully this solves your problem.

Sorry, I didnt make myself clear.

Its not the message list, its the message itself.

When I open an SMS, these can only be 160 chars remember, the screen is scrolled down a page showing blank nothing. I have to grab the scrollbar at the right and drag it to the top of the sms where the actual message and header are!

No sms would ever fill a single screen, let alone go into a second so I have no idea what is going on.

That happens with the keyboard attached or not?

I never found it!
Just upgraded to wm6 and it opens them scrolled down a little bit, just enough to hide the "received on blah"message, but not the caller name/number

Makes me think maybe its to do with message headers? Fiddle with the header display options. Good luck.

May i know what your wm6 build number?..

we had this before in out wizard when we are still using the older build number wm6 ones..

I had that prob in the shipped Tmob rom on Ameo, Its not happening on mew wm6
New os is 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) though.

But as I say, it starts moved down a tiny bit only now, so i can see the message.
On TMob wm5 rom it started at the bottom of a long page, so EVERY time i opened a sms I had to scroll back up to read it, very annoying.

This bug occurs in wm6 build number 5.2.1238 downwards..

at 5.2.1413 the bug isnt exist anymore..

That happens when you set smooth scrolling/dpad scrolling via reg hack or change scrolling via htc tweaks, etc

Anyway to undo/fix it?

Change the registry back or uncheck the smooth scrolling box in the tweak app you are using..

or
see reg setting below

0 = Smooth Scrolling with joystick (but sms msg's will start at the bottom)
1 = Default scrolling by link vs joystick


Navigate without stylus

The default behaviour for your device's four-way direction button in Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) is to jump between hyperlinks/form fields on a web page. To change this behaviour so that the button scrolls the page left, right, up and down, use the following tweak:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)You may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab using the built-in hardware keyboard.


See the Hermes and/or Universal wiki for many registry tweaks, etc

That worked for me
