[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I agree with you. I use my Leo as more of a toy, than anything. The Rhodium is better as a business and daily use device. It's too hard to type e-mails and other things on the Leo. I will admit that the screen is way nicer for using the Internet and placing remote orders. I keep it handy for that when I don't want to wait the ten seconds it takes to start up my laptop. :)

The easiest way that I have found to delete text messages en masse is to upload them all to Microsoft MyPhone, and then sign into the MyPhone website on your PC. This will give you a much easier interface to work with and is much, much faster than selecting them on your device for deletion. You can then sort them by date and delete them as you see fit.

Another tactic you could try is to perform a task29, then reflash, and set everything up again. task29 will wipe the internal memory of any traces of the previous ROM. It will remove the ROM and prevent you from restoring with a hard reset. You will have to reflash after this. It is like doing a format of a PC hard drive. This will ensure that you start fresh from scratch with no trouble whatsoever. Questions regarding this should be asked in that thread. I, or another user can help you through it there, if you need more information.

As has been stated, however, the thousands of text messages are going to slow down the entire operating system. Windows Mobile was never designed to handle text messages. It was a feature added into the OS, and never properly integrated. It was originally a simple way to download e-mails to your PDA and read them once you undocked it from your PC. With the advent of CE2003, PPCs began using an "add-on" more or less, for handling phone-based applications. Essentially, (even today) the phone is actually a "feature" of your device, and not a component of it. Android, Symbian, WP7, webOS, et cetera, were all originally created with mobile phone support. WM was not. It is basically the slow evolution of a Pocket PC. This is why there is such a lag in sending SMS messages or placing calls and such. It happens on any WM device. It might not be as noticeable on some (like the Leo), but that's just the way it is, unfortunately. It's also the reason M$ is currently playing catchup in the smartphone market.

Note that this reply isn't meant to instigate. It is only meant as a reply to the quoted post.

Click User CP at the top of the page. Then, on the sidebar under Settings & Options, you should click Edit Ignore List. You can also click on the link I provided, as it will take you straight there. Once you get there, type "Joe Bleau" in the box without the quotes and press Okay. This will minimize this users posts in the thread timeline.

I've had mine like this for a while. Some of the other members here prefer to not do this so as to be able to correct erroneous posts when they occur. It is your decision, but I would suggest it if a user irritates you enough. This will prevent any flaming from occurring on your part and keep you out of trouble in the long run.

You could also go into User CP > Edit Options (Again, direct link provided here) and uncheck the three boxes under Thread Display Options > Visible Post Elements, which are:

Show Signatures,

Show Avatars,

Show Images (including attached images and images in code).

Unchecking these boxes would give you a better viewing experience on the mobile device, but personally, I would suggest to ignore the users you find to be disruptive or irritating to you. This way, you don't end up with a vacation from a mod for being goaded into replying.

Again, this is just a suggestion on my part. I'm in no way trying to instigate anything. (Not that I would see it anyway...)

Oh, and don't forget to click on my Thanks button if you found this post helpful. :cool:
