What app. do you use for birthdays? - HD2 General

I need some suggestions on what applications is best to use for keeping track of birthdays?
It would also be nice that the applications auto sends a SMS message to the person is question

Birthday app
This is not really worth a new thread, but would belong in Q & A type thread like this.
But to answer your question, I would not use anything else but the HTC Sense contacts app called people. You have the choice of entering a birthday or an anniversary. You can set the reminder to between 1 minute and 3 weeks or so.
Sense also links to facebook which also has birthdays.

Sorry, didn't read part B.
It's possible to do this but would require some serious work by a programmer.
There are auto sms apps around.

You can set a reminder? I haven't seen that anywhere in the people app, please explain how!

Request: SMS retry?

It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.

Is there any way to make the email preview count as marking it 'read'?

The title pretty much explains it, is there a registry change that can allow mail flicked through in the preview in the HTC email app to be marked as read instead of clicking on to them to go to the full message?
Sorry if this has been answered but I couldn't find anything when searching, thanks for your help.
+1 please!
Having to open it up in WM is annoying and pointless, why can it not be like SMS's??
Anyone ever find an answer to this? Got a TMoUS version yesterday, and it's really my only gripe with the device.
+1 from me as well. That would be an excellent feature.
Yes please!
count me as another!
Would like to know this too its quiet annoying having to open the email.
and also... either make it look like sms, either make the fonts smaller (or the "page" wider)
There's a Cab on here which gives you option (within the email client) to "Mark all messages as read", which is handy.
And huzzah! I think this is it...

Please someone make a fix

[Q] How to delete multiple emails or sms ?

Hi, I have a question about deleting multiple emails or sms. When I go to either one of them, I can not select more than one (I used to have X1 and when I clicked on one of them and keep scrolling down, I could select more than one). Is there any way? Do I need to dowload a program?
Thanks!

If you want to delete a whole sms thread, then you can just long press on it and you should get a popup where u can choose delete entire thread
No idea about email - the inbuilt mail app sucks anyway
Thanks, but the what I more need to know is how do I delete multiple emails, instead of deleting each individually and just click on one and scroll down until I select the ones I want to delete. I guess is not possible...that really sucks
I feel like a broken record, and honest I don't work for them, but Handcent SMS allows you to delete multiple threads. It does lots of other stuff too.
The email app does absolutely suck, but having looked for the answer on this before I believe it is an android problem not just an X10 prob. Not found any answers on any of the forums that I lurk on.

The 2 most popular email apps are K-9 Mail, and Droidmail. I personally prefer K-9, but both are better than the regular email app that comes with android.
Multi-Select delete, and all of those great options are there in K-9.
Ok thanks! Hope they do something soon for this matter.

Ooooh thanks for the heads up. Must have missed this one on my trolling thru. Downloading now. See, it is true you learn something new everyday!
Update... have downloaded it and finally found a way to get rid of the gmail folders, as I dont use them, that are a constant on the stock app. Loving it so far. Thanks again
For deleting multiple sms without wiping a thread, there's an app called sms cleaner. Couple of different options for deleting messages including by date received and keyword. Some reviews say it doesn't work, but it's because the numbers don't reflect instantly. Waiting a bit after closing the messaging app and checking later will show the correct number of messages remaining.

^ Indeed, why would you even want that inbox-sh*t.
i hate it too and would love to know if it can be turned off.... its the first thing i do on a winmo phone. sometimes i just want to keep one particular text someone has sent. maybe its a personal message or some important information i want to be able to get to straight away. id rather keep all the messages seperate so i can see whats what. with threaded texts its buried in a huge conversation. i can understand why people might want it, but theres plenty who dont want it aswell, so why not give us the choice?
I'm not completley sure, but I THINK Handcent gives you that option..
But I may be wrong and I'm kind of tired so don't expect me to be right.

Well you could scroll to the message you want , press hold it and select lock message. Thus of you delete the entire thread and not tick the delete lock messages button, what you would have left is only the locked message.

listen for message opened

hello i'm new here.
so, i want to run some codes when an sms is opened.
what i want to do is basically read a message as it is opened(read or unread) and do some manipulations on it.
so in order to do that as the message is opened, do i have to listen for some activity?
how do i achieve that?
Google before you post

I don't think this is what the OP meant. OP, i'm not 100% positive you can do what you are wanting. Is it possible to do what you want to do when the sms is received?

ya.. thats not exactly what i had in mind.. yes it is possible to do that when the sms is received. But i want to run the code every time the sms is opened. Actually what i want to do is for every open sms, do some manipulations and forward it through bluetooth. is there any way to keep track of that?

You can create your own app to open SMS messages. However, you cannot grap any Intents because someone might use a custom SMS app.
