[Q] Only send number to Contacts?? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a way to set up Android (2.2) so that my number is ONLY sent to people saved as contacts? I need to be able to block number sending easily when using my phone for work .
HD2 on Winmo has this as one of the options, but I can't find a workaround for Android, or even a way of putting a shortcut to the setting to change it without too much fuss. Something this simple could end up being a dealbreaker for me when it comes to sticking with winmo or Android.
I'd appreciate any help!

+1 me too im searching for app. like smsdrfix.
I'm also looking for something to solve that problem in my Android phone.

Maybe SAMAN would develop it for us! We would really appreciate.
Thanks in advance!
yeah it would be great if some one can make it

Synch SMS when dual booting?

I'm still mainly using WinMo, but playing a lot with Android. I have hit a few times where an SMS message is on WimMo, but I'm current on Android as well as the other way around.
Is there a way to get them share the same database?
Failing that, is there a synch/cloud program of some kind that runs on both WinMo and Android so that both OS's synch to some 3rd location keeping all 3 with the same SMS messages?
Thanks for any help.
Would very much like to know that too!!!
This is my main problem while trying out Android for longer than an hour or so...

[Q] Text messages in android and windows mobile?

Sincere apologies if this has been asked before but I couldnt find it.
I would like to use android for daily use but have been put off by the MMS problems and the constant need to disconnect/reconnect data when trying to surf etc.
I would be more inclined to use it if would save my text messages in such a way that I could get them in both winmo and android?
So if someone send me a text in android, when and if I boot into winmo, I would be able to see it there as well?
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Bumpity Bump?
the only way to do this is to save them to your sim card (i think)
Which is what I am asking! I want it so when i use winmo my messages are there ready, and when i boot into android my messages are ALSO there.
Im looking for a way to save texts to storage card, and them to be accessible by both winmo and android. Is this possible?
Don't think so.. Not by default..
Someone could develop a system that uploads all texts from WM to an online database (or local datastores like SD) and then sync it in Android again.. And the other way around..
One solution is to use an application like SMSBackup (Android) or Windows Phone (i think of was called) to upload sent and received messages to a cloud service (like gmail).... I can't think of one that bridges both operating systems though.

sorry i dont know exactly how to do this, my phone just decides to do it sometimes
Would that kind of program be hard to create?

I think the main obstacle here is the demand. I don't think this is a major concern for the devs out there.
really? i find that hard to believe. there are lots of people using android and winmo dual boot. being able go have texts etc available on both OS's would be very useful to a lot of people.
I for one would find this type of app useful!

I was syncing 6000 sms in WM with MyPhone. Every single ROM was becoming slow after that. Keeping sms in WM is a no-go for me now.
Working my way to that amount in Android but from just having a few hundred you can see the small delay in loading the pic of the contact in the sms list.
I think you misunderstand me a little.
I dont keep every msg I have ever got sent. But i do keep them for a month or so. I am looking for a way to store ALL my text messages (automatically) onto my SD card and have WINMO and Android be able to recognise they are there on boot up.
At the moment if someone send me a msg in android, the message is not in WINMO which makes it difficult to track conversations.
I hope that clears it up a little.
sprint migrate maybe, but you'd constantly be having to convert back and forth, not even too sure if it can do sms!!!
just to add to the amount of demand: this would be very helpful to me too!
I use WM most of the times, because I also have some mobile apps running I need for work. Everything works great. Next to that I have android installed. The problem is: I can't have two databases of text-messages. It would get too confusing after a while. So I can't have text messages coming in while in Android-mode (since I wouldn't be able to see them in WM). Phone-calls and email are no problem off course, neither are contacts. Only these text-messages trouble me...
If both databases could be sync'able or mergeable automatically, that would be grrreat!
Now, who can make it happen? (I wonder...)
+1 Ditto! It's the only reason I haven't switched (plus battery-life, but I think I can make that manageable if texts are fixed)
I rarely ever keep text messages and wonder why unless they are really important why people would want to keep them
Can't see this ever being possible to be honest...they'll both use their own format to store the messages...only way would be to store them online somewhere, but that would mean having to connect to wifi or 4g to view your texts which wouldnt be very handy.
Yes, that's what I think too, but I can only hope, can't I ;-)
@jonny68: next to just for chatting I use sms to exchange and/or discuss data with other people just because that works best for me. (they don't always have email on the go). That's why they have to be all together and in the right order. I do keep them for a while too...
Reset-a-thon 2K10!
I think the awnser lies in either the MyPhone server and or Exchange for Windows Server 2008 R2.. I am going to investigate this further and will report back my findings.. Hang in there!
btw.. I for one just took advantage of the HTC recall/replace of the 16GB MicroSD card, Next day air, that's what I call service. They replaced the SanDisk Class 2 with a Samsung Class 2 16GB, and I must say Android boots twice as fast!

[Q] Change from save SMS to sim to save to SDCard?

Hi guys,
Please read before clicking back lol. (I have a TG01)
Thanks to Markinus and Endrix for all their hard work on the TG01 build to date, but we have a general issue. The last build was left with the problem where text messages are saved to the SIM card rather than phone Memory. This is a problem because when returning to windows, the texts are still saved to the SIM card!
Either, we need an app or registry tweak for windows to switch it back again, or we need a way to switch the android build to save the SMS's to the phone memory instead.
Can anyone help please? (With either a suggestion, or perhaps guidance so that I might be able to write something (I'm a developer, but only in Java J2EE btw). I'm happy to attempt a hack, or create something I just have absolutely no idea where to start.
Thanks for any guidance
There MUST be a way in the kernel to do this surely? If it's currently saving all the SMS messages to the SIM card, there MUST be a setting or a bit of code that changes/defines where messages are saved?
Uh? This an Android forum & you are talking about windows!!
Come again?

SMS limit removal

I send out the same text to a group of people quite often and I get a message saying messenger is sending a large amount of messages do you want to allow this? I have to click on it for each message that goes out. Is there any possible way to change the limit? I know you used to be able to set it to anything you want in settings/security but it's not there anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is so annoying.
Have you tried GoSMS Pro?
Maybe I've never sent to as many as you, but I've never encountered that warning or behavior. I've used GoSMS for several years.
I've only seen this when I send many messages in quick succession (either with Google Messenger or something like Tasker). There should be a checkbox that says to always allow.
I'm also looking for a solution. I was using ResurrectionRemix (a CM based ROM) and it has an option to set the text restriction. So, it CAN be done. We just need to know WHERE the code is so that it can be changed. I can't find any search results explaining how to accomplish this. That SMS Limit Unlock app doesn't work on later ROMS.
After hours of searching today - it appears that the setting has been moved into the framework?
com.android.internal.telephony

I hope I'm wrong as I'm no Android dev.... But, if I'm correct the only way I know of to "fix" it is to make the change in a custom Android build/ROM.
This SUCKS as I use mass texting for business purposes (communicating with many individuals who sign up for contract work). I really like Android N (along with AndroidPay) - but, looks like I'll be going back to M (on a custom ROM)...
If anyone locates/determines a way to alter that file using RootExplorer/Sqlite or some other way - please let me know.
