Is there a way to make another SMS default?

I didn't know where to put this, and i'll try one last time to see if anyone knows how to make SMS chat (the program) default instead of the windows one? I know you could make icontact default for contacts, so Im guessing there probably is SOME way to do this??
If there is not, is there a way to have the windows sms program show ALL texts instead of having to click on "show older" each time? (I have threaded text messaging on)
thank you!!
(i posted this in the wrong forum before I think, which is why I posted it here, not trying to post everywhere, sorry!)
btw I have a Sprint CDMA HTC Diamond (running mighty rom)
er how do you change the title of this? lol

You're in the right place just you might wanna rewrite the title so theres no confusion. Change it to something like "[REQ] New SMS Program" or something like that. And also i'm pretty sure PocketCM can be used to manage your SMS' so.. maybe you should give that a try.

well due to (i dont think you can make this program default on everything on this phone and integrate it completely), I have only one last question, is there a way for windows mobile sms to show ALL the texts at once, or at least alot more (like by scrolling up) instead of having to hit the "older" button and then "newer" everytime?

well, maybe not the right answer but might be close to what you want. go download and install home2 (free). after you got it going, go to their forum "applet showcase", there is a tread about applet store. look for modification for "messaging". donwload and copy over the messaging directory, restart home2 and your all set. a very cool applet and a real cool UI from home2.

can pim backup-backup sms's from another chat program too? When I use sms-chat its good, but when I go into the windows mobile sms it only keeps all the sms's that are sent to me and doesn't have ANY that I sent out USING the sms-chat from vitro.
I stopped using the sms chat b/c of that and b/c I wanted a way to back up all my sms's, so just wondering if it can back up that too?
(and if anyone has found a way to show all texts on windows sms instead of having to "view older" each time?)
thanks!!

if you mean sms-chat is not showing your part or the conversation then this is what you need to do.
1. open default messaging program
2. choose SMS \ MMS
3. choose menu at the bottom right and then tools from there. You will see an options button on the tools tab.. choose that.
4. then choose the message tab on the bottom and make sure there is a check on keep copies of sent items in Sent folder. (If its not select it and sms-chat will now show both you and whoever you are talking and what you both are saying. AKA threaded sms)

New SMS problem never heard before!!

Hey guys, I havent heard anyone talking about this but i discovered e bug today!
So here's how it goes :
1: I was typing my sms halfway to person A
2: I went to type another half sms to person B
3: I went back to person A's incomplete sms, completed the message and sent out
OUTCOME: The msg went to person B instead!! But on my message chat log, it says that the msg was sent correctly to person A!
Anyone having this problem? So far I only heard of msg getting stucked in outbox, havent heard of this yet!!

why send 2 messages at the same time? seems a bit confusing!

because I was composing a long message to A. Then B needed me to sent an urgent reply over. So I decided to send B a reply first before continuing to compose e long msg to A!
Anw that shdn't be the problem since my previous phones can all handle this kind of multitasking!!

Yes ive had this problem of a message going to the wrong person even though in the log it states it didnt. Was quite a embarrassing text as well ):

exactly what happened to me! I hope this is e ONLY way to send a wrong msg to the wrong recipients without realising. SIIIGH
Anyone knows how do I feedback to HTC so they can make a patch or someting?!

i also have same problem as well as having text window open with person A and then person B texts me and it comes up on same window as my person A page. so now im replying right after this text of person B thinking im replying to person A and it goes to B. this is after i installed cookie home tab 185 and editor 1851 and then resinstall 185 and same thing. now it can also be after that one sms hotfix that is on hd2 site. whatever is the reason is there a way to fix it. also sometimes under swype my delete button wont work for texting but it will work in traditional qwerty so thats another bug as well as when this bug happens i get this other bug when u type with swype every letter has a period like john is j.o.h.n. and space bar wont work.
i dont know whats up right now i backed up with spb backup and will try uninstall cht and see if it was the cause or not but i dont think ive seen any post regarding this issue after posts for cht 185 on xda. any ideas?

i've read several threads about sms messages going to the wrong person.
i would just like some clarification from you guys! are you using HTC's messaging client or are you using windows mobile's default sms messaging application?
personally, i kept HTC messaging disabled on my stock ROM and i'm currently using an NRGZ ROM (Energy ROM "Standard" Sense June 11, 2010) which does away with the HTC messaging out of the box. i much rather like the stock messaging client and it also keeps your messages in a form that is much more friendly and compatible for backup with pimbackup and/or microsoft myphone.
the only reason i'm asking is if someone can confirm if the problem occurs ONLY and SPECIFICALLY with the HTC messaging client or it has also been known to occur when using the stock windows mobile client?
would just like to know if i should also be careful about my messaging practices...

i can confirm its using HTC messaging which i believe is what it uses as stock and when u do factory reset. i have factory reset three times and still get issues.
How do you disable HTC builtin messaging so i can use WinMo one? thanks.

ok i used Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 to disable HTC and using win mo...it works correctly so far....i have question...how do u turn of the MESSAGE SENT notifcation that pops up after every sent message? i dont see any options for it and under MESSAGE OPTIONS .."request message delivery notification" box is unchecked. thanks

You have to get a registry editor and change these keys:
Code:
[B]HKCU[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)
[B]HKLM[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)

ok i did that and it works thanks...however i didnt have a SMSNoSent available at the HKCU section but I did see it at the HKLM area and enabled to 1.
i have another issue which you may know about. When you send a text...then when that person replies back, you get incoming text notification. When you click to reply to that person and youre in the reply window where the screen is greyish and theres a SEND button thats on the screen itself next to your reply box, sometimes that window shows my reply back to show up before he replied to my original text so its out of order. However, if you go to ALL MESSAGES and view a specific conversation that way then it shows correctly (this is the text reply white window where you see the colors icons next to the names.
Is this bug due to me replying to that text too quickly? so thats why it was out of order. this only happens sometimes ...im going to play around with it to see if it is only due to really quick replies.
Thanks

also i got this other problem. when you are in home screen and you get incoming text you will see the number 1 on your messaging icon and when you click it and reply to text, the number 1 doesnt disappear, it still treats that text you received as new and only way i can get rid of it is delete text which i would rather prefer it disappear after i read text. anyone can help please? thx

This problem was already mentioned here on the forum, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642091&highlight=sms+wrong+contact
One workaround is to use the back or home hard keys instead of the "All Messages" option to travel between conversations.

i got my hd2 on june 1st, 2010. i used the stock ROM for 30 full days with HTC messaging DISABLED (i even wrote a guide about it...search for threads started by me in the HD2 general section). in these 30 days, i learned that disabling HTC messaging had no SERIOUS ill effects, but it did have some annoying odd little problems like you've mentioned in the quoted post above. additionally, my "green LED" would keep flashing for several minutes after reading the last unread SMS. another odd problem was that accessing a contact's page within Sense would work fine until i scrolled to the contact's messaging history tab...it would just close the contact's page altogether! i suspect the reason for this was that this tab relies on a fully working HTC messaging client, which i had disabled!
due to these issues (and a few other issues unrelated to SMS messaging), i decided i had familiarized myself enough with the HD2 and its stock ROM...so i went for a good cooked ROM after a few weeks of research. i highly recommend NRGZ's "energy" ROMs (there are many flavors). all the variants of energy ROMs completely EXCLUDE HTC messaging and the stock messaging works 100% properly with no odd side effects.
you can battle these little issues all you want but you can save yourself some time and effort if you can find a ROM that suits all (or most) of your needs.
PS: it would be nice if someone can suggest even more custom ROMs that also exclude HTC messaging, as described in bold above in the second-last paragraph!

that workaround worked so if im on person A window and i have partial reply text going and get a new text from B and when replyin to B with using back button i can text np.
my thing is sometimes when u have like 4 conversations going ...having it listed like in ALL MESSAGES is useful. im still seeing how having 3 conv. behaves with usin back button but thanks for that.
also since cookie home tab uses htc text app ..i wish i can use the text app that was being used in spb mobile shell 3.5. on that one the gui is better and u just press OK on the partial screen u were on and it will take u back to all messages and u can open and reply anyone n it works. this workaround pressing back key is good but i dont want to hard press a key all the time like this i prefer touchscreen . so in meantime im stickign with my cookie home tab 185 and will use back button for now or winmobile one.
p.s. i tested out this issue on my friends hd2 and neither his htc sense text app or the spb mobile shell text app is buggy and both work correctly. so i either can keep doing factory reset til it works right or deal with it.

The new update maybe can help ...

Hi, I think you didn't realize unfinished texts should be saved as draft, otherwise it reappear in every new message tread input box in hTC message.

After an RMA and getting replacement phone with latest rom i still had the same problem. However, now thers a fix that helped me that TM said it came out june 8th regarding Contacts issue.
My contacts were saved to SIM only so i had this issue regarding texting wrong person. If you save to SIM/PHONE or PHONE only, texting works correctly. So this is the fix for me at least.
At the moment i saved my contacts out of my SIM and into my account. I did factory reset and then tested out texting without any contacts on PHONE or SIM by using numbers. This worked but you may suspect it may be due to using numbers rather than choosing of contact list? I will know soon cuz im waiting for TM to sync up my contacts from my act. to my phone and she had to create a trouble ticket. So when i get my contact list on my phone only, i will try again and make sure its works. Right now im crossing fingers but i believe it will work.

I've never had my contacts on the SIM... and I have this problem. If you use numbers it probably works... the problem is with contacts...

Maybe someone here knows...

...how to correct these two issues I have.
#1 - When people send me a picture through text, it comes through as a slide show. How do I change that?
#2 - I can't seem to save a picture from MMS to the contact it came from. I get to a certain point and get a "force close" message. I can't even save the picture in a folder.
These problems could be because I'm a former WM user, but I haven't noticed anyone else having these issues.

1. Use Handcent app from the Market instead. That slideshow thing seems to be a common gripe I've seen posted
2. Not sure, but I'm thinking Handcent might fix that too since it will be handling mms also.

What a sweet app!
It worked PERFECTLY!
Thank you so much!

How do you turn off the standard HTC messeging app?

Start htc messaging, menu-settings-uncheck notifications.

Usually, when using non-stock messaging apps such as Handcent, rather than turning off the stock messaging app you would just disable the notifications for it. This is done by going into the stock messaging app, hitting the "menu" softkey while in your general messages list and hitting settings. Once in that menu, you would uncheck the "Received notification" box. Handcent will handle your notifications only from this point on.

Click slideshow, tap the picture and hit pause to look at it. Hit the bottom right button and check the image, hit done and now you have saved the image
Just in case your like me and say handcent is way too iphoneish

can't you also just use savemms to save the picture?

adding contacts from text messages

I am not a noob by any means I have a rooted My touch 3g slide, coming from a G1 with a bad back light9 but when someone sends me their number in an email or text message and I click on it, it goes straight to the dialer, when all I really want to do is save it to contacts...has anyone else experienced this or am I doing something not entirely correct....try it out...see what you think

Long press should bring up a menu. Or once in the dialer and the number is there a button save to contacts should appear on top.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

I just did this on my phone. I ended up going back to the message list, and long pressed the message with the new number I wanted to add.

depending on the ROM and also on the messaging app your using.
I know whenver I used handsent or chomp you had to go into the default SMS app and click on the number and than it will bring up the menu for you to save contact.

Is there any way to "add recipient" in stock messaging app?

Ive downloaded and use Handcent and yes it is nice. The reason I looked for and started using it was because of the lack of add recipient option when composing a new message in the stock app that is included. I feel like Im just missing how to do this in the stock app. Is it possible? It seems like it would be the most basic option but I can't seem to figure out how.

Normally,in the stcok app, after you put the name of the recipient, you just have to tap again inside the recipient box to add another one. else if you put phone number instead of a contact in the phonebook, then you just have to put a comma between the two phone number.

You misunderstood. The idea is that I don't want to have to type in their name. I want to be able to choose from my list of contacts in my phonebook.

I think the only options now are separating recipients with commas or FORWARD the message to another recipient after you have sent it out. I prefer the latter since it doesn't create a whole new thread.

lol is no one actually reading the question???
I haven't come across a way to add recipients, I always just type the 1st 2 letters and add them from that, IMO its easier than scrolling through a list of a few hundred people

Open contact list. Long press contact then select send message. It then opens messaging app.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Seeing as everyone is misunderstanding you're request I will give you the short answer.. No.
You can't select multiple recipients from a list in the stock app, unlike handscent, where you can.
Sent from my x10 using XDA and swype.

Sorry... where in the question does it mention multiple recipients? I think i did answer the question!
