Message History Screen

Hey guys ..I just noticed that there is a History of all my texts and there is no way to delete or clear this. Im not talking about the regular text message screen Im talking about the "history" screen.
Does anyone know how to remove this information?
thanks.

Whaere is the history part? I just checked mine and don't see any history?

None. At all. At least none i can see. I use launcher pro so i just hid my contacts but that still doesn't take care of the fact that its there. If you delete the contact then add it again it works but that a TON of trouble!
Please, if anyone knows anyway at all to get rid of this, even the entire screen as opposed to just the info, lemme know! What a PITA.

Quick google search on this and apparently motorola and verizon are swamped with complaints about not being able to delete the history. Supposedly will be addressed with a software update? No ETA though...

I think I remember reading that Google got some bad press over this .. another one of those Privacy Faux Pas' like Buzz.
Not sure if there is a way to clear it ... I took a quick look and didn't see anything obvious.

holy! watch what you say and send to others... lol

Bump to keep this at the top. Would love a fix!
I have figured out that if the contact isn't linked then it doesn't seem to show up...... could be totally wrong tho.

So at some point wont this be a massive amount of information stored on the phone?

I think it's only for a certain period of time or a certain number of contacts.

I think moto is aware of this issue and it'll be patched up on the next ota update.

I doubt the memory footprint is significant. There are a number of system information apps/gadgets that will show you how much free storage you have, or just check it out in the settings.
The bigger concern is for privacy issues. IMHO

I agree about privacy. How are u supposed to have a girlfriend and then other girls on the side with this? Come on moto think about us unfaithful lying cheaters out here!!!how am i supposed to keep my girlfriend from knowin about all my infidelities? Lol. As the heartbreak kid i must have privacy!!!
Edit:for those who don't know this is a sarcastic statement. Haha

I got beef the youtube app, and I'm sure they wont listen to little ol me

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.

Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.

If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.

It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

Hi there,
I have a question, i have just got the arc today abd until now i think its a great phone.
But before i had the pleasure with this phone i had an desire hd and got kind of used to have my contacts in my phone book connected to there facebook profile or the friendsstream... Is there a way to have these features in this phone? Sorry for stupid questiin, but i am new to the anfroid business...
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

For facebook profiles you have to use Facebook application first, it'll ask you whether to sync with you're current contacts or not

go to contacts... Then choose the contact you want and edit it. On the edit screen press the option button, the one next to Home button, and an option will come up "join" click on it and choose other contacts you want to connect it to

New Notification

I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

The only app I have installed now that was not before I switched to CM7 is Go SMS Pro. Has anyone had any experience with it?

Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

Found this after a bit of research. Looks like an adbased app on your phone is using their apk. Seems they do support opt out, but aren't doing a good job a securing your identity period.

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?

Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...

How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.

Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads

Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?

Yes, I will have somethings to beta hopefully releasing mid next week, this weekend is my last week of work. So I'm freeing up my weekends again to get back to deving more...

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium

My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.

Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium

Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.

When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.
