I did not find that feature there. Maybe I did not look correctly, did anyone else find?

I'm unsure of what exactly you're looking for - based on how you ask it, to me - sounds like the stock Messaging App already has this.
Are you on stock ROM?

No,
The stock application shows the message in conversation view, but it does not say WHO sent it (me or the other person).
Is there an app that shows this?

Head into the Play store and search for GO SMS
it's a pretty decent SMS app that works on most Android phones

GoSMS would be recommended by myself as well if thats what you need/want. I downloaded it and confirmed it does display WHO sent it.

Thanks,

Oh, i'm unsure where in settings it is. By default after I installed it, it already had that feature enabled. I'll take a look around when I have a moment.

I have the premium version some how or another? I didn't pay for anything. I uninstalled it to reinstall it and noticed there is a premium version as opposed to the Go SMS Pro (free) version.

Ok,
But where is that option located?

Handcent sms is the other sms replacement. ..n0t sure it has ur feature but worth checking out

Three New Widgets!

Hi there!
I just noticed that we got some new widgets.
We got note (which I was waiting for), quick record (one button record that works good and after recording gives you a notification) and today in history (wow, it's quite good and I loved it also gives information about event). And they are better than tip calculator and dice.
May the widgets be with you
Finally!
Notes!!!
And... The new Market version got a widget too?
But what does it do?
Yep, just got my Wildfire and was thinking of a note widget. Thanks for the heads up !

Hello, i downloaded the "tip calculator" and when i went to see the permissions of the app it says that it have access to the following on the phone:
Your personal information.
Services that cost you money.(directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages)
Your messages.
Your location.
Network communication.
Your accounts.
Storage.
Phone calls.
Hardware controls. (record audio)
System tools.
Should i worry? xD
Nope, You can trust everything that comes from HTC/Google

SMS messaging replacement recs?

Ok, I really don't like the stock ICS SMS messaging app. Looking at playstore, it seems the Go SMS is the most popular replacement. Anyone have recs for other apps to consider?
Handcent is a good one. highly customize app

I used to love handcent until I tried gosms and haven't looked back. Very customizable and plenty of themes to choose from. That'd be my pick

Hnadcent for me
I think you mean you don't like the stock touch wiz messaging app?
i LOVE the stock ICS sms app (pure google ics app with the green logo) but hate the samsung touchwiz app...i hate how every mms is a slideshow
I tried handcent back on my captivate and it crippled my phone. Thought I'd try it again over a year later and it made the phone instantly almost unuseable. Don't understand it. Pissed me off so much i wrote my first review on the market lol.
I tried to go with a stock ics app from the market, but it was taking a few extra minutes to get my texts.
Went with GoSMS and its useable until I get on a pure google rom.
I'm giving Go Pro a try, if only because it seems "prettier" than Handcent. Stupid reason, but anything is better than the stock SMS client.
I used handset forever... Then tried gosms one day and never looked back. It's themes are nicer, and it never crashes. Love it.... I too hate every stock sms app I have ever used, except for htc.

The last time I checked GO SMS on my Droid X it didn't allow me to use individual alerts for different contacts. Does stock do that or does GO do that now? That's a feature I love about Handcent.

Is that Go or the S3 app you're referring to? Just want to be sure I understand...
I was used to the MIUI SMS app, and loved how it told me when a message was received by the person.
Any of the replacement apps do that? I tried it with handcent and didn't work.

Go. I think it had a whole think under the settings called individual settings or something, and you can add individual notifications etc I believe. Download it and check it out.

I think I also saw something in handcent somewhere in the settings where you can also get alerts/notifications when something was sent or delivery confirmation...something like that.
Download Go and check it out.

[Q] Return to App, after receiving call

Everytime after I received a call (for example, while using Waze while driving), the phone would return to the phone app instead of Waze.
Is there a setting to disable this behavior and let the phone return to the app that was running prior to accepting the call?
There is, I don't remember where I saw it, give me 2min

Thanks for looking into it.

That does allow several things to happen, but not return to the previously run app... It's annoying that when I'm driving with a navi app up, and someone called then the screen would return to the call log. What I'm trying to do is to get the screen back to the navi up immediately.
Is this even possible?

AOKP just released a build today with that option in the dialer. Maybe you can just extract it from there and push it to your phone.

[Q] better s4 text messaging app?

Is there a better text messaging App for the S4? The stock app with the creepy face icons need to go. Plus the general aesthetics are no good.

I gotta say that I find that pretty funny, since that's how all phone operate now. The gestures literally consist of swiping left or swiping right

Yes but access menus or setting or selection options, I'd rather just touch an icon or menu button.
As for GoSMS. I never see any pestering ads. Shrug.

It's not ads per se - it's the notifications "look, we have new premium themes!" "Hey, you can't back up any more but you can use our cloud service!" "please buy into our ecosystem!". If it suits you, it's no big deal - but something that just does SMS/MMS and beats the Samsung/stock product is what I was looking for at this point. Chomp does that.
Not a criticism of their business model, I just didn't like it. I do understand it.
This thread is funny....still love my Handcent over all the rest.

I have my GoSMS matched to the Contacts, Dialer and stock messaging app.
Don't know why all the lines in between messages aren't showing up. Not showing up in screen capture either. Shrug.

There are a lot of custom notification apps on the market, try some of those, should be able to find the right one for yourself there.
