[Q] Enter Key to Send SMS? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the enter key send an SMS Text as opposed to having to hit the send key?

i would love to have that feature! i just want to ask of that and get your question

Nevermind, wrong directions. Sorry

yes. Open your messaging app, then hit the menu button, click settings and scroll down until u c the ” send on enter” option. Frankly, I think its annoying as u will find yourself sending messages when you actually meant to hit back space and delete your typo

How to delete all the sent messages in a faster way if you have lots of them??

My problem is the following...
I have lots of sent messages saved in my device, and I can't not save them, but after some days, they aren't usefull for me anymore....
How can I delete all them in a single step, without select all and erase them?
If you have lots of messages you have to do this procedure lots of time...
So.. Is there a way/cab/app which can delete all the sent messages automatically (in a single step)??
Thank you......

This may be a solution...
But is there anything easier and faster?
So you're looking to delete groups of messages? Is there something to this that would prevent you from just shift clicking to select them? That's what I do.
Or to delete all messages (obviously this is done from within the sms application):
Menu/Tools/Clear
Menu/Tools/Empty Deleted Items
Are options I use frequently

if you have 100 messages, you can't select all in once...
you have to select some of theme, delete them and repeat this operation again and again...
something like "select all" doesn't exist on my Touch..
go into the sent messages folder and open the on screen keyboard, press ctrl+a.
/or are you just trying to delete something like half of the sent items? in that case the shift click is all I've got to offer.

MANY THANKS!!!
This is just what I was searching for!
Fast and simple....
No prob., and if you're trying to select just the oldest then you can select the top one and then press and hold the shift key and then press and hold the down arrow until you reach the bottom of the list. The upside is that this doesn't use the on screen keyboard (if you don't have a ctrl key on the physical keyboard).
You can also press and hold (with stylus or finger) on the first message in the list and slide down until all messages are selected, but i guess the quickest way is really as CRE said with the onscreen keyboard.

Infact this is the way I used to do....
Now I'll use CRE's method... FOREVER!
but i think if u dont want to save theme , just unstick " save the sent messages in folder "
so everytime u send a message it wont save automatic in sent folder . thats it

SMS from contacts list app?

Hi,
I'm looking for an app that lets me message directly from the contacts list, i.e have a mail or call icon next to the entry.
Any ideas?
From your phonebook/contacts list long press the desired contact and it will bring up a menu. It gives you the option to send a sms from there.

There's also an app called call dock bar which is a widget that can hold 4 contacts of ur choice with easy access to callin/textin/mailin. There waz another app that allowed more contacts bt i cant remember the name.. i dint like the UI on that one though.

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.

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.

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.

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

Copy & Paste in Messages App

I just switch over to android from the iPhone.
It seems that android is a missing one of the key features that is very curial, which is the ability select text from Text Messages and be able to copy/paste it elsewhere.
I often have times where I would like to copy a txt message I receive and be able to paste it somewhere else (in a browser or into another txt message).
Is there a solution for this?
long press...

Doesn't work. When I long press, the only options I have is to call the contact, forward the message, etc. No option to select the text and copy it.
I know I've been able to do it in the past so I opened a text message to prove it to myself and lo and behold I can't long-press to select/copy/paste either! Must be the rom I'm using (MDJ FroYo Revolution 1.4), can't think of any other reason though surely something as fundamental as this should be cooked into any rom regardless of flavour?! Weird.
Long press works on miui.. Just hold your finger on the text message copy message text.. Hold finger on input box and paste... Works here and on every rom I've tried..

Ya, I think its an issue with the ROM. I just switch from FroyoStone to MDJ Froyo Sense Clean 2.3, and it still doesn't have the Copy/Paste feature in the Messaging app.
My friend has a Droid, running Froyo 2.2, and he has the copy/paste feature in his Messaging app.
My current setup does have the ability to Copy/Paste in the messaging app. The way I do it is long press the selected text and press "Forward". Then you can long press on the input box and select the "Copy All" (it's the only option). Also works pasting in the browser url bar.

Quick solution is to long press the message and select forward, then you can edit it and send.
