address book not checking names in mms message - Wing, P4350 General

address book not checking names in mms messages but in sms it is checking names

Yea. Mine does that too. I just kinda got used to it. In the 6.1 roms under the threaded SMS it puts it in the correct thread with the named sms message. But the name comes up as the phone number

I actually just started seeing this tonight as well with the threaded SMS. It does go in the right thread but as soon as that person sends a MMS message the entire thread gets labeled with the number as opposed to the contact name. Kind of annoying actually.

Can't find tethered SMS program

A friend of mine installed the program but doesn't remember where he found it and I've looked through the Hermes forum as well.
Please, anybody....I need tethered messaging. It makes conversations so much easier. If a link can be left and any instructions for installation (if needed) it would be very appreciated.
Try searching for "threaded SMS".
Are you thinking something like Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook? Or did you mean threaded SMS?
It's tethered SMS. It's set up like an instant message conversation seperated by the contact you're having a conversation with showing both party's text messages.
As I said above, it is called "Threaded SMS". If you insist on calling it "Tethered SMS", you will never find it.
check out this link, it is called Palm SMS Threader.
if you're sitting at a computer, why not just fire up an IRC client and talk that way? much cheaper (if you actually pay for text msg's..i dont) and more straightforward..
i just cant see a conversation through sms, especially since there is a character limit on a message. any real convo going on would be interrupted by you having to open the next sms every 160 characters heh..
try codys sms from wmexperts.XXX

Threaded SMS doesn't quite work that way, instead of just a character count you get "0 characters 1 message" along the bottom. I've never gone over 320 characters but I assume its possible. the program breaks the message apart into multiple messages. Probably a pain in the ass on the receiving side, but haven't had any complaints, it is rather rare that I compose a text message of said length... for that there's always email.

Sorry, this part of your post made me giggle like an adolescent
Check it Out
Are you talking about the one that functions like the one in the IPHONE.
If so I got your fix here. Hope it is the one you where looking for.

i just tried that, didn't like it, and now i can't remove it... i uninstalled it but it is still there, and now it fails to install a second time so i can try to uninstall a 2nd time. not to mention that after install i found it erased all my messages... so yeah i guess it is time for second hard reset in 3 days.
Try Cody's Threaded SMS
I like it. Works just like the instant messaging program on Palms

Touch HD SMS Threading Limit?

There's one friend who I text regularly, and I'm not sure how many messages I have from her, but today something strange happened.
I received a message from her and it looked like it came from a different number because it started a new thread. Then I realised there wasn't another thread, and for a moment I thought I'd lost all the messages. But then I noticed they still appear on the TouchFlo.
When I tap any message from her before the first message of the new thread, it opens the message in the old style (i.e. as if threading is switched off).
I thought maybe I'd accidentally moved all the messages. But they don't appear in any other folder, and they are definitely in my inbox, which I confirmed with Jeyo Mobile Companion.
So, shall I just continue with the new thread and ignore the last messages? Is there definitely a limit? Is there any other threading software?
I have never heard anything like this before.

Haven't heard or experienced anything like this. Usually you have a max limit of approx 50 sms in your inbox (not conversations with someone using threaded sms, but actual sms from diffrerent people), but it shouldn't behave like yours.
I'm assuming this female is (very) close to you and you do not want to delete previous sms? I would delete them and use new thread and see if same thing happens
Hi there, just by habit I never delete any of the threaded text messages to and from my girlfriend, and so there must be over well 2000 in the conversation.
The same thing happened to me once, I just assumed there was a limit on a conversation size, and so it started a new one. It's a shame how it deals with the old one though, stopping the threading. I sync'ed all the old messages using Microsoft myphone and deleted it, just leaving the new thread.
Access old thread?

This exact thing has just happened to me, also texting the girlfriend ... She has told me things that i have probably agreed to and since forgoten, is there any way to look at the old thread as the touch flow only allows me to go back 25 messages from all contacts. They must still be there as some of them are still in the 25 touch flow messages, unless it has its own cache?
FYI my best estimate would be some where in the region of 1000 - 1500 sms, double that with replies so is there a thread limit of 2500 or 3000?
Any ideas?
SMS limit
Exactly same happened to me this morning...I am using the HTC 6.1 WWE Rom on my ATT tilt.
No thread of older sms but they are in my inbox (confirmed by disabling the threaded sms). Mine too have 3000+ sms on my tilt.
Do any one get the fix/work arond for the sam to see the older sms in threaded form.

Approximately 2740 sms in a sigle thread as i met that situation. any ideas??

Native Text Message App - Sender Problem

I am coming from owning a Rogers HTC Magic running stock Rogers ROM (1.5) with 911 update.
Just picked up an N1 the other day and although it's a great unit, there are some minor annoyances that are starting to get to me.
One is the native text messaging app. Now, I am a real estate agent so I receive a lot of text messages from my office. With my Magic and any other phone for that matter, these text messages would appear as "7000" as the sender name/number for example as these messages are sent through a computer via the internet. It's very similar when you receive a text from your carrier wherein it's not coming from another phone, and it's typically shown as a number as indicated above.
The problem is that this number no longer appears as the sender name/number. Instead, the sender name/number shows up as the first word in the body of the text. This may seem trivial, however, what happens now is that all the text messages I am receiving from my office are no longer grouped under "7000" for example. Instead, text messages appear as a separate thread (sender).
For example....if my office were to send a fictitious text that reads "this is a test text message", this is how it should and used to look:
7000: this is a test text message
With my N1, this is how it appears now:
this: is a test text message
The only way it will display the proper name/number in the sender field is when the text comes from an actual cell phone.
I have tried another text messaging app like Handcent and the exact same thing happens. Brutal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629753
Wild shot, have you tried saving a contact with the phone number "7000"?
The first thing I did was try to make a contact with the name "7000" but that didnt work. For some reason the text app does not compute the sender name unless it's an actual phone number or contact.
supergodie thanks for the link....looks like im not the only one...too bad that thread was started back in February and still no fix. Hope it doesnt take too long as I would hate for such a small detail to be a deal breaker for me.
The other annoyance I have is that the native mail app does not have an option for signatures! It also does not allow you to copy text like my Magic did with a long press on the screen and a menu popping up asking to you select text. You would think such "small things" would be an afterthought and not something that should be missed or left out...such basic things...it boggles my mind.
btw supergodie, have you found any workaround for this?
handcent as I have reported does the same thing...I think its because the app works off the native mail app....whatever the case, the problem still exists with handcent.
perhaps another sms app that works?
Sorry, I have not found a solution, I used to it, wait an update by google.

[Q] Can't 'answer' text messages

Goodmorning,
I have Android 2.2 (Desire) on my phone. I really like it, but there is no App2SD. But that doesn't matter in this topic. (If anyone can help me with that, without losing my personal settings right now, i'll be happy ^^)
When i receive text messages, i see all contacts with a +31601234567 nummber. There is only 1 contact that shows me a 31601234567 nummer, without a 'plus' sign.
From that contact, I can't answer the text messages, if I make a new text message to that contact, (so just the number 0612345678) he will recieve it. If I click on the 'Reply' button when it shows the 31601234567 number, he won't recieve it.
I can't find it on the settings, and i deleted the contact on my whole phone, but when i recieve messages from him, it still shows me the 31061234567 number without a 'plus' sign.
He got an iPhone with t-Mobile, i got an HTC HD2 with Hi.
I'm using Go SMS Pro for texting.
does it do it in the default sms client?
is it so hard to ask in this thread?

[Q] SMS -> MMS conversion

Folks,
Weird question/issue. I have a google group contacts set up. When I try to send a group SMS it converts the message to MMS with the following reason "some recipients only have email addresses saved, not phone numbers. To there email addresses the message will be converted to a multimedia message"
The weird thing is, all the recipients have phone numbers, plus this worked with my htc one x, plus worked with a SMS app called "Textra". I've even checked every recipient in the group, and each one has a phone number.
I've tried using WANAM, but still get the same issue.
any ideas ?
I think I found a bug. By removing the email address associated with the contact, saving it, re-adding the email address back in has seemed to have fixed the issue. I can now use the stock SMS App, without Wanam and it sends group SMS now.. Bizzare !

Also found that if I remove the email address from gmail logged onto a pc, then re-add the email directly on the contact using the phone it works as well.

I have this exact same issue, 9 people in an Google Group, when I send an email to that group, I get the same message and each have phone numbers and email addresses. Now I have create two groups, one with phone numbers and one with email addresses. Does anyone have a fix (not a workaround)?

I havent found a solution other than the work around I use. It's a pain in the arsXXXe but unfortunately other than using a different SMS app I cant find a solution.
