Anyone know a faster way to send sms text message

So i changed from the 8125 to the wing and I have discovered it is much more difficult to send a new text message. You have to go through like 5 different commands...(open the message bar, select text message account, tap menu, scroll to new, scroll to sms) it just seems so tedious so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make it so i can have new message be one of my soft key choices (preferably where the delete soft key is). Its really annoying.
Thanks BP

How about when you install the HTC Home plugin, I HAD one until i bricked my phone yesterday :'( it came with the PDAVIET rom which was released some time ago.
What it does is, it shows on the Today screen a link to Email and one to SMS.
That's probably the fastest way.
Cheers

how 'bout putting the command "new sms" under a softkey ?

Or simply install the program "name" (sorry forgot the name) that puts a "New" menu at your left soft-key in the today screen, from there you can choose sms, e-mail, mms etc.. Just search for New menu

Press Contacts softkey. Scroll to the intended recipient. Tap, hold, pick "Send Text Message". Type text message. Press Send softkey.
What's the problem?

How About VIJay?
Hello,
I use VijaySMS All the time... It allows you to make a shortcut (I use SPB Today so I create the shortcuts in there) that either starts a blank SMS or start one to a specific contact. You can find the program at Vijay's webpage here: http://www.vijay555.com/
Enjoy!

You could set up the Message button to automatically go to your SMS Inbox when you press it.
Messaging Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options...
Select Text/SMS and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging." This will automatically open your SMS Inbox, thus eliminating the first two steps of your problem.

Can't mark more than one message in Inbox

Hi
On the Diamond I could mark more messages for deletion with either my finger or the pen, in HD I can only delete one at a time, very annonying.
Does anyone have a fix for this ?
Thanks a lot.
Carsten

When looking at the list of messages, press Menu > Select > Several and you can select whichever ones you want.
This sort of information is usually in the manual too.

Copy Text + Contacts Issue

Hello
Firstly gotta say I love my new Nexus since I upgraded from the Hero
But I have a few issues an wonder can you help
1. On the hero when on in the internet browser you could press and hold the screen an a box would open for you to "Copy Text", But with the Nexus it is not there,
Is this available anywhere?
2. I have contacts which were taken from the sim card then I moved the rest of them over using my GMail account,
I can select all contacts In my contacts open but when i go to SMS option i dont have them all. If i choose contacts I can choose the person then send text but not by sms menu
Thanx

I don't know about your second question, but to select text in the browser just hit the menu button> more > select text

Save new contact from Msg Inbox

When a new text msg comes to ur msg inbox folder from an unknown number which is not there in ur contacts list and now i want to store that number. How to do as there is no option to store the new number.

Go to "start", "settings", "personal", "phone", "advanced"......tic box new phone number......
Not 100% sure it does the job when receiving an SMS....and phone number must be visible ofcourse.....not hidden

This is helpful when u get a call from unknown number and you can save it, but it will not work out when u get a sms from unknown number

Tap on the Number from the message view and it shows you the option - Save to Contacts.

Its still not working
When i tap on the msg in msg view i am not getting "Save to Contacts" options
I am getting options like "Delete" "Reply" "Reply to all" "Forward" "Move"
I am using HTC Touch 2 phone.

I use the same phone, Ganesh and I am able to do it.
When you open the msg to read - It shows you the heading on the top line -
Conversation with XXXXX.
The next line reads -
XXXXX (TIME): actual msg displays here.
Now if you click on the second line which shows you the number & time; that will take you to the options of saving address: (in this case the number)
1. Send Email from Outlook
2. Search Address Book
3. Save to Contacts
On clicking the Save to Contacts, it takes you to another screen to add as a new contact or update existing contact.

I am getting it now
I was tapping and holding it for a while so i didnt get the "Save to contacts" options
I just need to tap once and i am getting "Save to Contacts" options
Thanks a lot dude

Glad to be of help.

Emails

hi does anyone know how to increase the number of emails that show up, currently it only shows up 50 but is there a way of increasing the number?
and also when i send emails, they dont show up on my sent email tab....anyone know why?
thanks in advance =D

email tab - click inbox - menu - scroll down to Tools - Options -
1 - on accounts tab, tap the account you want to change, tap 'send and receive schedule', 'Download messages' is probably set to ''past three days''. ALso on this tab at the bottom, 'advanced settings' - you might want to edit the settings in there, such as 'delete from server when deleting'.
2 - same place, switch to message tab - tick 'keep copies of sent items in sent folder'

thanks for the reply
but im using hotmail and it only shows me yhe options for windows live....and ive looked but no options to increase emails
as of sent items. ive already checked that box but still doesnt save....
