Number of sms characters

[Floris-k]

I have ROM 1.93 and the ammount of characters of the sms is hidden behind the keyboard. I heard that the old ROM had it in the taskbar.

Is there any tool or reg.key to put the counter somewhere else?
Or maybe a pop-up like the old SE phones have, with a notice thay you've entered the next sms.


Because I'm switching from provider for 3G and I won't have unlimited sms to my g/f anymore lol

I know it's not an ideal solution but, while you're typing up your SMS, tapping the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen will toggle the keyboard on and off so you can check at any time before you send whether you've gone over the 160 character limit or not. It is a pain in the arse to have to keep doing it but at least it lets you see the info you need.

Yeah I already found this solution, but it's not that practical.
Also if I tap the incon in the botto my keybaord doens't dissapear, but I get the input options, where I can change the keybaord layouts.

When you type an sms outside TF3D, you see the count in the taskbar.
But I prefer TF3D, so I can work without stylus.



Hoped someone with program abilities countered the same problem and made a little fix for it.

Bizarrely if you are typing a reply it shows the characters in the task bar at the top left but if you type a new message it is under the text and hidden by the keyboard.

You need to tap away from the triangle/arrow beside the keyboard icon.

Hmm ok so no other solution then clicking away the keybaord, make adjustments, click it away again to check if enough etc etc.

I'll reserve 5 minutes per sms then, because smsing with the touchscreen isn't that quick either. lol

That's not a problem specific to the Diamond.

SMSs are a pain on touchscreens. They are a pain on Windows Mobile.

And of couse the Diamond is Windows Mobile AND touch screen...
