hello i'm new here.
so, i want to run some codes when an sms is opened.
what i want to do is basically read a message as it is opened(read or unread) and do some manipulations on it.
so in order to do that as the message is opened, do i have to listen for some activity?
how do i achieve that?
Google before you post

I don't think this is what the OP meant. OP, i'm not 100% positive you can do what you are wanting. Is it possible to do what you want to do when the sms is received?

ya.. thats not exactly what i had in mind.. yes it is possible to do that when the sms is received. But i want to run the code every time the sms is opened. Actually what i want to do is for every open sms, do some manipulations and forward it through bluetooth. is there any way to keep track of that?

You can create your own app to open SMS messages. However, you cannot grap any Intents because someone might use a custom SMS app.

How do you guys send your picture/video messages?
I always have to copy the number down from who I want to send it to in contacts and pasted it in the to field.
Is there not a simpler way to select who you want to send a picture/video message to?

I think it depends on the SMS/MMS software you use. There might be a version of Arcsoft that should work with your Altel. I am on Verizon and it seems to be integrated with several of my apps like SPB Mobile Shell and PocketInformant. Hopefully other Altel users can help you here.

Thanks for the info. Always love feeling like the village idiot!! Never would have thought to try that.
I think it would be cool if you could type a message and specify the recipient but instead of sending the message immediately, you schedule it to send at a certain time. Then at that time, it automatically sends it. I don't know anything about coding but if anyone would like to make something like this I think it would be very useful.
maybe try PowerSMS ?

Someone in the other thread said:
The application sends the message as soon as you turn on the Diamond. So it's still working after it's closed. But it does not wake up the device.

Does that mean if the device is in standby it won't send the message at the scheduled time?

I'm ising the 14 day trail for power sms and it es well made for vga screens.
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.
I need some suggestions on what applications is best to use for keeping track of birthdays?
It would also be nice that the applications auto sends a SMS message to the person is question
Birthday app
This is not really worth a new thread, but would belong in Q & A type thread like this.
But to answer your question, I would not use anything else but the HTC Sense contacts app called people. You have the choice of entering a birthday or an anniversary. You can set the reminder to between 1 minute and 3 weeks or so.
Sense also links to facebook which also has birthdays.

Sorry, didn't read part B.
It's possible to do this but would require some serious work by a programmer.
There are auto sms apps around.

You can set a reminder? I haven't seen that anywhere in the people app, please explain how!

^^^ What he said!!!
Is there a way to customize text message notifications for individual contacts . I can do it for the ringtones but not the messages. if there isn't a way does anyone know of a free app that would make it so I could do this.
thank you
Use another SMS app with that function.
Can you recommend a app. I am new to this .

Use Messenger by Google. It can Archive, Silent and Block messages.
