Does anyone know how to change the default language encoding option for messages. The only way I can change the encoding from Western European to Greek (Windows) is by starting a new message and going to message options each time I send a message in Greek. Is there some way that I can have Greek (Windows) as the default encoding? This was possible in pocket pc 2003.
Thanks, apap
I'd love to hear too
Got a strange error. I was trying to send out picture from the camera app today. The pic was taken at 2M, so it was too large to send via MMS and Gmail. I changed the registry entry to increase the max limit of files that could be sent via MMS or email. Once I did that though, the Camera App nor the Picture viewing app launches the email tool correctly.
Previous to the registry change, if you told either the picture or camera app to "send", it would ask which account you want to send from, then launch a new message.
After my registry change, I hit "send", it asks me which account, then it comes back and asks what account again, and then just opens the inbox of the account I selected.
I changed the reg values back to the 300K limit, but it didn't change the way the camera or picture app selects the mail account.
I can work around it by starting a new message then inserting the pic, but it is annoying that it's not working like it is supposed to.
Anyone have any ideas?
BTW, this is the registry edit I made:
Send Large MMS:
Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\Size Limit
Key: wap2sendlimit1 (you can also change wap1sendlimit1)
Default: 307200
New Value: 1228800 (1200K)
Set the new value by going to Text/Multimedia --> Menu --> New --> MMS --> Menu --> Options --> MMS Options --> Servers --> T-mobile MMS
I changed both WAP2sendlimit1 and WAP1sendlimit1
When I want to send pictures on MMS I do it the following way:
"pictures and video" - marks the picture I want to send - pushed "meny" down to the right - selects "send..." - then chooses MMS.
Then the picture automatically resizes down to a suitable size, 20-50kb
If I jump directly to "send as MMS" the picture is sendt full size. Dont ask why.
Hello.
Firstly, is there a way to set the messaging program (WM5 standard) so that it always goes to the same folder (i.e. text messages, rather than e-mail)?
Secondly, is there a way to get rid of the bloody Outlook e-mail account??? i never set it up, i just set up my Bt Mail account.
Cheers
Don't know if this helps but try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368812
This works for WM6 WM6.1 confirmed but some people are reporting loss of sms receiving tone. Although I personally didn't. But can't confirm for WM5.
Also at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
There is a default key called "Default" (LOL) It's value on mine is pop3 if you change this to read as one of the other folders in this directory it should open which ever one you name it.
For example: At this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc you have say 5 folders (imap, pop3, SMS, MMS and Activesync) change the name of the default keys value to the folders name (SMS) and it should now be default after a soft reset.
The "Activesync" folder is the "Outlook" Account.
Hope this helps..

I was wondering if anybody has found a fix for Contact-Specific Message Alerts? It uses the default notification no matter what you set up in Contacts / Message alert. I see the problem all over the web. Some say the fixed it by changing from Messages to Message+, other say they fixed it by changing from Message+ to Messages, some say to add SMS PopUp, some try factory reset with no avail. Based on date of posts and the different phones that have the problem, It appears this has been a problem for a long time, and is not not specific to the Note 3. It covers at least from the Note 3 to the Note 4, which would include at least the S4 and S5. In Contacts, I simply select from the standard alerts that came with the phone. I don't have Zedge installed or anything like that. It doesn't matter if I have the microSD card installed or not. Some say that it happens if the contacts are on the SIM, but this is a CDMA phone, and the only SIM it has is for Verizon LTE. I have a Google account, but I don't let Google store my information. I've read about the myriad of reliability and other issues of using 3rd party messaging apps. I just want to use the reliable Messages app that ships as the default on the phone, not some 3rd party app on someone else's server. I want contact-specific alerts so I will jump only when a monitor tells me about a server with issues, not every time there is a text message.
Thanks!
I have figured out my issues, but more importantly I am figuring out how things work. This issue is not specific to any particular Samsung phone or Android version.
Samsung Messages app and requirements
- The Messages app is the default Samsung messaging app. It is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, which has the ability to define a "Message tone"(S5) or "Message alert"(Note 3) by contact. The property may already display in Contacts, or you may have to press a button in Contacts to add the field. Then simply specify the alert/tone you want.
- The contact must be a DEVICE Contact. For example, in my case I use Akrutosync to sync my Outlook with my phone. This requires setting up an Active Sync. Outlook and the phone sync perfectly, however any contact synced like this will only play the default Message tone/Message alert. If you go into the contact, and look at the Connection property, it will show Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. In order for it work work, it must say Device.
- The contact must have a phone number, and that number must be the source of the incoming message. For myself in the IT industry, it is commonplace to have server monitors send a text message via ###-###-####@vtext.com from an e-mail address. We want a different tone/alert for a server down than normal texts. The messages will show as coming from the proper contact, but it will only trigger the default Message tone/Message alert. Samsung said it shouldn't work that way, but I don't have a work-around for the problem.
Verizon Messages+ app and requirements
- Verizon Messages+ app is the default messaging app for Verizon phones. Messages+ can use Verizon's cloud if desired and your account supports it. That makes it simpler to create and respond to text messages for a specific phone number from multiple devices, including computers and tablets. It also means Verizon has access to your personal correspondence. However, even as a local application, It has built-in functionality to record an MMS message, send postcards, pictures from storage or camera, add captions to pictures, markup pictures, make collages, send your location with the click of a button, activate Glympse so people can follow you or link up with you, send someone a contact, send an MP3 or WAV file.
- Messages+ is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, but DOES NOT USE the "Message tone"(S5) / "Message alert"(Note 3) property in Contacts.
- There is no way to do a contact-specific tone/alert in Message+. The best you can do is a conversation-specific tone/alert, and never delete the entire conversation. To do a conversation-specific tone/alert, at the top left next to the contact's picture, there are 3 horizontal lines. Flick those to the right to open a new window. Scroll to "Customize conversation", and then select Tones where you can select your tone for the conversation. Of course if you ever delete the conversation, the tone you set up will be lost also, and the next time you receive a message from the same contact, you will receive the default tone/alert. Message+ does not make use of the Message alert/tone set up in Contacts.
Note: Even when a 3rd party messaging app is set up correctly, you may still get the default tone. You may need to go to the main settings menu, pick 'Sound' then scroll down to 'Messages' under Samsung applications and turn that off.
Let me know if this helps you with your situation.
