Why can my inbox only contain 25 SMS at the maximum?
Is there any way to increase this as my Sent Items has everything i've ever sent!
are you sure that the 25 texts aren't from your sim (sim cards can usually store 25 texts). The HD can store a 'limitless' amount of texts (it continues to store it on the ROM, so as long as you have free space, it will continue to keep storing them...we're talking bout thousands of texts). Otherwise I'm not aware of a setting which limits the number of inbox texts on the HD. Does it erase the oldest text when u get a new one, or just not store the new one? Also, can you make sure you're looking at the right inbox?
Nop, your in box can contain a limitless number of sms (right now I have almost 200 sms).
When you go to messages you have a limit to 25 displayable sms in a single conversation (i think the system roughly associate every message from a contact to the same conversation).
When you go beyond this limit of 25 sms, on the top (before the older message displayed) will appear a link saying older that will access you to the older 25 messages page. The only strange thing I noted is that sometimes is necessary to click many times to go to the others "page".
Anyway I don't know where are stored the message, but would be interesting in order to manage them in some other way.
25 is limit of sms displayed by TF3D: in inbox there isn't a limit (I have 1402 sms).
You can try HDTweak 0.54: Messages SMS/MMS -> 2.3 Classic View and in SMS tab choose "all"

hi - one thing i find really annoying about WM phones is when i send sms messages, it splits them up into separate txts of 160 charcters.
when other people send me sms msgs (probably from non WM phones), all the text is contained in th one sms regardless of the number of charcters they sent.
is there anyway to do this on wm phones ?
"Depending on which alphabet the subscriber has configured in the handset, this leads to the maximum individual Short Message sizes of 160 7-bit characters, 140 8-bit characters, or 70 16-bit characters (including spaces)."
You cannot increase size of sms, but I understand what you are talking about. Never had same issue, will test on my HD at home later
Hi,
I couldnt find another topic about this so i made 1.
In my touchflo3d i can only see 25 texts and when i go to windows mobile texts i can only see 1 for each day up to 15 texts in my inbox and i cant find my other texts i received. i can see all the texts i have send.
Anyone know where i can see these.
And does anyone has a program to put a password on my texts.
thanks in advance chris.
Did you ever find a solution to this? Or at least a way of copying old messages to a folder perhaps?
Cheers for any help

Its a simple program to lock certain areas, like SMS, Email, etc. There are also a number of solutions that automatically move incoming SMS to a secure location, so your SMS stay accessible, but not the ones you want to hide...
still no solution to show more than:
-25 sms
-99 mails
-14 stocks
-14 favourite contacts
I've scoured the market for hours and can't find crap. I've tried "Delete old messages" and "SMS Cleaner Free"
I want a way where I can select x amount of SMS messages from a given contact and delete them. For example...I could choose a contact, and delete all SMS messages from 2 months and older.
These apps I listed above ALMOST do it, but not quite. You can delete entire threads from a specific contact, however you can't choose a contact and delete certain SMS messages associated with that contact.
So for example if I had 450 sms's from my wife, and I wanted to cleanup just the past 2 months of ONLY hers and no other persons.
Any thoughts?
I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.
I'm on stock Android 4.4.4 with root. I'm using the native app for text messaging and lately is has become really slow. My suspicion is I have too many multimedia messages so I lowered the multimedia message limit to five per conversation. I have since rebooted the phone and been using it for hours, however, when I go into text conversations and scroll thru the messages, I can see that there are many more than five multimedia messages in each conversation. I have the "delete old messages" option checked so shouldn't any older multimedia messages be automatically deleted once the limit of five is reached?
Anyone else have the issue where older text messages are not being deleted? Particularly MMS.
