Whenever I delete an e-mail, task, contact etc. I am asked to confirm the delete action. It annoys me and this was not the way delete worked on my SGS2. It simply deleted things when I said delete.
Anyone know how I could get that working on my NOte?
Was there ever a resolution to this?
I've been searching for the same since getting the Note with no luck.
Certainly annoys the sh*t out of me.

is it possible to lock the SMS inbox to prevent unauthorised access at all?
Thoughts and solutions as always welcome.
Thanks
Pete
suppose it could be possible with 3th party software
but why not just put a password on the whole pda ?
it's already supported and would protect your data much more
should anybody steal the pda
hear hear
password protecting the Inbox would be very useful - and other folders for that matter.
The scenario in my case is not resolved by password protecting the whole PDA since you may wish to give someone access to the PDA - to play a game for instance. If there is no way of protecting your data beyond that then there's nothing stopping them having a nose around or doing damage (accidental or mallicous) whilst 'playing'.
I'd be interested to hear more on this. I'll have a look for 3rd party stuff in the meantime.

This is a must have 3rd party tools but still have some bug and errors
getting it to work
this is brilliant!! ...but it doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to get this program working?
I've installed the two files into: \Windows on my phone
I then run the .exe file and the program starts. I've been able to set up a password.
I've set up a new Category for contacts: Hide
and set the contact's category (whose messages are to be hidden) to: Hide
I then go to SMSHide 1.0 and select "Hide Messages" from the Messages menu and a msgbox reports that "0 messages hided succussfully".
For what it's worth, a test to see if any of my messages have been protected goes to show that they haven't. No password is required, the messages can just be accessed as normal.
Also when I turn Autohide ON, the program interface becomes inaccesible - it just shows "SMSHide v.10 " in the title bar.
You kind of worry that, being this buggy, it'll go and lock all your messages and they'll be locked out for good!!
Pity cos we really need something like this.
anyway I've posted these comments to the developer and wait on them or anyone else here who's had success getting back to me.
me either.. its not working.
Hope somebody out there who can help our predicament. this is a very important utility and I know most of PDA users are needing this. In this way we can share our PDA to our friends without fear of letting them snoop in our small secrets...
possible solution
hi there:
have you seen the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23057
somebody else started it up and I found at least one answer to the problems I mentioned. have a look
You guys must be doing some serious adultry!!! I just have another fone for the ladies! Seriously, finding sms messages from other women seems to be no 1 reason for relationship breakdown these days!
I'd like a whole seperate hidden area of files and sms on my xda, away from prying eyes?
that site was already posted. I tried it and it seems to work. The problem is, if you happen not to hear the message tone, you will not know that you have a message so you have to hide and unhide all the time for checking. You also have to set all your contacts to private and hide category.
Maybe in the future, there will be a new software that will just hide the whole things easily.
When I browse through my contacts, I'd like it to hide all groups except for "Friends" so that I don't have to weed through my business and family contacts since I never call them. I still want the option to manually show all contacts, but I'd like it to hide all but my "Friends" when I first open it.
Is this possible? Perhaps with Mortscript?
dont know what phone you have, but on my Shadow (smartphone) i can go to contacts, hit menu, filter, and then choose personal (thats what i catagorize my buddies as) and it then only shows my friends...
EDIT: i see that it does not stay on a close/open, but i would think there is a reg edit to do this... if i get a chance, ill see if i can find it
yeah, I can do the same thing with my phone. I have a PPC, but I'm sure the registry entries would be similar enough. My phone is a T-Mobile Wing, and it's running a Wing-based (not Herald-based) ROM at the moment.
I just don't know how to get the filter to remain permanent.
yeah, i started looking the other day, but got side tracked. nothing yet... guessing from the replies, no one else knows either...
it can be done using PocketInformant. worth it's money since you'll be able to customize almost anything for contacts/tasks/calendar/memo.
Is there a possible regedit, which could allow us to delete emails in the preview mode (the same way we can delete, forward, or reply in the preview mode of SMS text messages)? It would be nice if we didn't have to open every single email in order to delete it. Anyone have a workaround for eliminating this extra step? Thanks if you've got one to share.
I would also like to know this. A way of marking an email as read from the preview would be helpful too.
Thirded.
This would be awesome.
Yeah! I would also like this.
Been asked before, but yes I would like this too!! Having to open an email to have it marked as read is annoying when you have quite a few that you dont actually need to read in detail there and then!!
I'm interested also
Still no clue ?
Anything on this yet ?
Is anyone else having issues deleting SMS threads over 180 messages?
I have a couple rather big threads I want to delete but when I long press on them, pick delete the phone seems to hang and then a force close/wait dialog box pops up and nothing gets deleted.
Is there any other way I can delete these cause one of the threads is huge
i had a message thread at about 2300 messages. took about 5min to delete, i recommend just letting the phone do it's thing and tell it to wait when it asks to force close. I got 2-3 FC notifications when I deleted that thread.
yeah i did that and it worked
its just annoying that it does that.
it happened on my cliq as well. i guess the messaging app wasn't setup to handle a large amount of messages. or the app isn't coded well?
who knows, its annoying, but what ya gunna do?
I had the same problem. I'll try just letting it sit there.
Not even sure if this is XPlay specific. I have ONE contact, one friend that if I try to text message her my messaging program FC's. I even tried deleting her and physically entering her phone number, and it FC's. Every other contact or anything else I do, works fine. I tried clearing data for messaging, tried clearing data for contacts. My phone is stock and not rooted or anything at all. Anyone ever seen this?
Your phone is just looking out for you. Stay away from her!
j/k
I've never seen this issue before...

She is a bit crazy lol, but a good friend.
I can't even imagine if it was my girlfriend that this problem was with. "Sorry sweetie I can't text you because my phone keeps crashing the text message app, but ONLY for you". That would go over real well!
That's odd.
Try using GoSMS and/or handcent sms and see if they get the same problem.
well I just made it worse...
I called her and had her text me, instead of a text coming through i get a force close message. Even better I think its jammed and trying to send it through so I'm getting the error over again every few minutes.
I think I'm gonna need to reset my phone
EDIT: it stopped after a bit. Also scrolling through my contacts I found another contact with the same issue.
EDIT #2: While typing Edit #1 I realized both are contacts that I text often. However recently I lowered my saves message limit from 100 to 50. I had manually deleted some threads including threads from these two people and they had over 100 messages. I went into messages and did a "delete all" and that cleared the issue.
