SMS: "read"

Hello!
First I want to thank you for your great Forum!!!
I have a question, which I hope someone can answer:
Is it possible to attach a option "read" to the Popup, which opens when a SMS arrives. I can only choose "delete", "save as unread", ...
But there is no possibility to choose READ???!
Can anyone help me to solve this Problem??
Thx a lot
Korbi

Pls Help!!!
Or is it possible that i am in the wrong section here???

Is it really 'save as unread'?
I have Delete, Call Sender, Save as READ and Dismiss in my soft menu.
May be your ROM is different. I am using latest imate ROM

Sorry!
Of course it is "save as read"! But still you cant choose "read" either, can you?

"save as read" option is exactly the thing as the "read" option you are looking for. No reason for a read option in the popup.

I got the same problem.. You receive an sms. get the small teaser. now it would be great to click on a "read" button that opens the sms to read the whole text.
if i click on "save as read", then the sms is saved a read, but does not open. if it was a large sms, i still dont know what was the whole text...

if there is a large message i have "VIEW" option on the right hard button (on screen) so... VIEW = READ (the whole message)
Wisely, the VIEW option only shows if the message is bigger than the popup window dimensions

Yes thats right. I already knew. But sometimes I wnt to read even short SMS in a hole New Window. The Popup fades after a short time. And this is sometimes to short, to read all the information.

Heyya
Im not 100% sure what your trying to achieve, will going to "messaging" in your start menu and opening SMS help?
3rd party software might be your only solution if not.

Yeah, of course that will work. But I want to have it instantly. If I get a message, there is a Popup which shows the content. But after few seconds the popup closes and there is only a hint. When I click the hint the popup comes again and closes again after few seconds. So I want an option to READ the sms, where the whole text stays until I close. Or a option READ where Messaging opens with the SMS (same as it is with longer SMS)
Thx

Sorry if some explanations are wrong, but I have a German XDA Neo

oh yeap now i understand, appologies.
i'll see if there is a registry change that can delay the time of the notification of SMS display. Im sure there will be one as it appears to always hold for the same period of time on the screen before minimizing.
in the mean time try handango and trial some software for a PIM mod to the SMS display.
good luck till then.

Why isn't this hack possible????

Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?

I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images

?
Multimedia Messaging
Short Message Service
Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .

As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.

I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.

But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS

I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.

no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.

ATT Tilt 2 texting limiting to 160 characters, anyway to change that?

Hi all,
Ive noticed for my ATT tilt 2, the text messaging limits it to only 160 characters. When i go over the 160 character limit, i dont see the rest of the message and im not sure if whether the characters past 160 characters are sent or not. Is there anyway to change this? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Cheers!

My understanding is that this is a limitation of SMS in general, not your device or carrier. If your message is greater than 160 characters, then the message is sent as 2 SMS, rather than 1.

the above poster is correct ::highfive:: guythathasateddbearforasig!

Hi ohyeahar,
First off, thanks for the reply. On my old SE phone, when i send over the 160 character limit it does automatically send two text message and it shows that i sent 2 text message in my sent message folder. However, for my tilt 2, it just shows only 1 text message and it cuts off at 160 characters. So im not sure if it actually sent 2 text messages or if it only sent 1 and it just sent at the cutoff of 160 characters.
Any idea with that or how to change that so if its past 160 character, it will automatically send 2 messages instead of 1?
Thanks!

Don't know what you mean, dude. I just sent myself a message that's 170 characters to see what you mean. See the following screenshots. The sequence of "1234567890" (which is characters number 161 through 170) appears to me as the recipient and as the sender.
This is consistently shown via the main SMS tab in Manila, the SMS tab inside the unified communications tab in Manila, the WinMo default threaded messaging window, and in the sent items of the WinMo default messaging app.

the tilt 2 will allow you to type up to 800 characters and it will split it up into 5 sms messages to the end user
now if you want a large message all as 1, send it as an mms, i dont remember how large you can type in mms format, but its more then 800 characters, and it will be all as 1 big message.

I may know what you mean, and see what you mean as it's happening on my Tilt 2. In the Sense UI messaging application (if you slide to Messages, touch it, and reply) it only shows 160 characters of the message you type. But if you actually go to All Messages, and from the Inbox click the person who you sent it to, it shows the full message. I believe it's just a screen limitation with the Sense UI, but the full message should have been sent.

Thanks for all the inputs guys! It was very helpful.
ianderson_76: thanks, that was the problem. After going to all messages, I can see the full text being sent and received.
Cheers!

I have a Tilt 2 on ATT...and I noticed that there's a message that pops up everytime I send a text in TF3D...
It a confirmation that the message was sent. It's really stupid and I want it gone...but can't figure out how to delete it...
Any thoughts?

I gotta keep reading...problem is none of this stuff on here makes sense...
Thanks though!!!

Adjust SMS compose font size!

Hey Everyone,
The one thing I didn't like with my new HTC Snap was that when I was typing an SMS message (a new message or a reply in a thread), the font size of my typed characters were way too small for me. Even adjusting "View..Font Size" while reading an email message didn't effect my typing font size.
But, by luck I found a setting in the registry that works!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
RichEditHostFontSize = 10 (adjust this value to 13 to increase font size).
Note: This also adjusts the fontsize of the recipient names/number in the "TO:" line when composing a new SMS message.
Hope this helps someone...

Thanks for the tip. Will this too adjust the font when reading sms, or shall i say, the received sms?

No, you need to open a regular email message in the phone, then on the menu you will see "View....Text Size" and that option will set the reading text size of emails and sms messages.

Thank you for the quick reply.

SMS with smile convert MMS

Hi to all, one question :
When I write a text message, and add a smile, the message is automatically converted to MMS.
How can I avoid this?
Is there a solution?

If you use the default Android emoticons it will remain a text message.
If you use the emoticons from Swiftkey or another, those are images and as such cause it to become a media message. That can't be avoided.

I don't use swiftkey, but default android keyboard .
But if i insert a smile (a round face), SMS is converted to MMS.
-Anyway thanks for your answer.

Because those aren't the Android smileys. Those are under Options > Insert Smiley. They're not an image in the text field, but are still the actual symbols. They become a smiley in the dialogue.

Ok, i understand.
In fact i tried it after your suggestion: sms with emoticon , don't change to MMS.
You were very kind. Now everything is clear.
