I have seen several endorsements for sms backup and restore... but it doesn't support mms (yet). Anyone have suggestions for easily backing/restoring both sms/mms between ROMS. I've been losing pictures I didn't bother to manually download for quite a while and thought I would ask before I flashed the new gingersense. Thanks guys.
What I do is long press on the picture text and "save picture" to the sdcard. It will save it under a file called download.

It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.
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!

Hey guys. I know this has nothing to do with the phone in general, but since everyone on this site seems to know more about these phones than the manufacturer, I figured I would ask. Is there any way to retreive deleted text messages off of 2.2 OTA update. I really need to get a hold of this information. Thanks in advance
Sms backup and restore. On the market. Stores them in a csv, so you can read them on your pc if ya want
+1 SMS Backup and Restore. Its a free App that is Fantastic and I've been using it for a long time.
if the messages are already deleted, can you retreive them with this app

No you cannot, I don't think their is a way to do this.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do bring up all your contacts in a list when you are sending a text message? I wanted to browse and select a few people out of my contacts but all I could do was add them one by one by typing their contact name.
I would like to be able to browse my contacts and tick off who I want the message to go to.
I don't think you can in the stock messaging app. Try Handcent instead, has a plethora of other features as well.

Is there anyway of making this the default message app?
Come on Google surely we can have better handling of contacts when sending a text message.
I come away from Symbian and Nokia to find a simple feature like this on an advanced phone like the Nexus S is missing. (I could do it on my old Nokia for gods sake)
How can we report stuff like this?
Not sure if you are, but if you're talking about hero or evo, you can click the little person on the right of where you would type the individual names. From there, you can select all recipients or groups

This is where to file a report on complaints/issues. I recommend using it and sharing the link to the report you file so that people may star it; this'll bring as much attention to it to Google as possible. Hopefully then they'll add/fix the feature in future updates. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?thanks=13414&ts=1293293994

Ok thank you I will do that.
Does anyone know how to make Handcent the default messaging App and stop new messages going into the Stock app?
Request Google to add a feature to insert multiple contacts while messaging
Hi All,
I have requested this enhancement at code.google.com, request you all to vote for this issue and bring it to the notice of Google developers!!

Hey all, so just recently my messaging app is really slow all of a sudden, like it takes 4 seconds to load the conversations, when I go to reply to a message, it takes 4 seconds to actually pull up the keyboard, and allow text input. I message a lot, so this is extremely annoying cuz I have to wait forever to send one stupid message >.< does anyone know what's wrong or how I could fix this?
Thanks!
Stock messaging app? I know I let my messages build up like without the auto delete on and eventually my messaging app just froze up until I clicked auto delete so it could be due to a lot of messages hope you get it figured it out and this helps a little !

When the program loads it had to load all those messages into memory. You need to get rid of some. Just go back and delete some by hand.

Isee, so the only way to make it faster is by deleting messages? :/ what if I clear the cache? Shouldn't that make it faster, cuz then it won't load the older messages (cuz there's no need to)? And does clear data delete all the messages?

I honestly don't know because I let my messages get deleted every time I flash a ROM. I would assume clearing the data would delete the messages. If you absolutely MUST hang on to your messages, why not make a backup of them, then go through and delete some or all of the ones in the app? If you need them back, restore the backup.
