i have a Desire HD running android 2.5.3 (Stock unbranded) and i have noticed that if i send a test message longer than 3 texts it converts the text to an MMS is there any way of extending this limit or removing it all together?
I was a bit frustrated with this when I first got my phone. That's the way the stock Messaging app works. Nothing you can do to change that. You'd be better off installing GO SMS Pro. It's an excellent app, much better than the stock one and has every possible feature you can think of in a messaging app. I've been using it since the beginning and the stock app is crap compared to it. You can send texts of any length.

Click thanks if I've helped you.

i would tend to disagree that there is no way of changing the stock application as i have friends with the same handset and the same version of android but have operator customised version (orange) and they have no SMS to MMS conversion happen on long text messages and they dont have to use any 3rd party application.
Yeah of course that's possible, but it requires modifications to the code of the stock Messaging app. There's no mod which exists for that here, as far as I know, because most people don't care too much for the messaging app and usually use a good third party one like GO SMS Pro or Handcent. But if you want to stick to the stock one that bad, you could ask your friends with the Orange ROMs to extract the apk of the Messaging app (provided they're rooted), then root your phone and replace your stock HtcMessages.apk in /system/app with that, and change its permissions to rw--r--r using Root Explorer. Hopefully that works. Or you could search around here for a stock Orange ROM .zip, extract the apk from that and do the same procedure above. There's no other way I can think of.

Two questions:
1.) How do you copy/paste on Aria?
2.) How can I save a picture off the Internet browser? (I currently have the default browser installed; if there's a better app I'll go for that.) I can save off texts and emails--double-tap to save--but internets is different.
Thanks y'all.
Copy/paste is done by a long press on the desired word/text box.

to clarify you can copy /paste in the text input box but you can't copy what others have sent you unless you first choose to forward the messege. then you can copy it just fine.
you can save pictures in opera mini browser
Roger that, thanks all. Still getting acquainted with all the features--and something that seems like a stupid question just isn't intuitive or the feature doesn't work on the Aria :/. Generally satisfied
I can't stand the messenger on the D2. I want to have every message send when I hit enter, instead I have to press the send button on the screen.
1. Does someone have the default messenger apk from froyo (or whatever)?
2. If I install it, will it work like Chomp and let me choose it as a default app?
Same
I did it on my Droid Incredible. Found an old mms version and installed it then updated it and it works great, However I did totally delete the sense mms app. I would love to do it on my wifes D2 but can't find the original .apk...
Update: I googled "mms.apk" and found a couple downloads, worth a shot anyway. If they don't work right check for an update before you delete it.
I'll try it on my wife's D2 later today

keep me updated and a link to the one you ended up using.
if your only issue is wanting to press enter to send a message, i found today that if you just hit the right arrow after you're done typing, the cursor jumps right to the send button. then all you do is press enter. one extra key press. not too bad a work around.
i was able to pull the mms.apk from my original droid and install it on my d2.
contact pictures were not showing up and i'm not sure how the phone would react if i reached the 1000 message limit with the stock app. but it works.. kinda

i wouldn't say it's my only issue, but it's a decent one. i'll try this, although i'm not happy about it.
I have a stock Mms.apk if someone wants I can email it to you so you can post it up for everyone.

I tried and *loved* the Tranquility ROM, but at the same time I love having the Blur and Social Networking apps on my D2. Is there any way that I could just get the original FRG22D stock mms.apk to work on my D2? I've already bricked my original Droid2, and I don't want to brick this one!

I was able to extract the mms.apk file from the Tranquility ROM. I renamed conversations.apk to conversations.apk.bak, then clicked on and installed the mms.apk. I have no problem sending or receiving sms and mms. I'm loving it!

So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
I use GoSMS Pro as my default SMS app. Works great, looks great, is great.
Except for one issue:
People are receiving my messages twice.
I use the Quick Reply function very, very often (and I know that most people have this issue solely while using this feature.)
Does anyone have a fix? I'd like to continue using the app and the Quick Reply feature, but it's a little embarrassing to have people receive my messages twice.
Thank you.
You need to uninstall the stock messaging app using titanium backup text messaging is the name of the apk. Then uninstall Go SMS Pro, and reinstall it. Done
Won't that get in the way of future updates?
Can I freeze the stock messaging app instead?
Sorry, new to android here lol.
try it and see what happens (freezing) worst case you defrost it.

Don't uninstall the stock app as it may prevent you updating in future. Freeze instead so you can thaw when a new update comes out.
I think the latest update said they fixed that issue. Are you running the latest one?
mine works fine

I had the same issue (GingerBlur 3.1) got to the point where I had to just go back to stock. Though handcent worked quite well.

I can't say I'm a big fan of handcent, and I am running the newest version.
The people who complain about this problem are saying that it's a hit or miss. Sometimes they come in twice (but often, multiple times a day), and sometimes they don't.
It's gotta be a problem with the popup window.
Meh
Does anybody know where i can get emojis that have the actual faces instead of the black and white android ones, & would it be possible for someone to pull the mms.apk file from somewhere and me push it to my phone using root explorer or something?

chompsms supports emojis as well. i find chompsms to be a lot better than go sms. go sms has too much bloatware in it.
handcent sms is another good alternative as well (supports emoji)

you will have to get their respective emoji app.
