Don't you just hate snoopers. I mean people leaning over on the bus and peering over your shoulder at your text messages as you access your text inbox on your jasjar.
Wouldn't it be nice to just turn that auto preview off on text and email messages someway, somehow?
People, be careful in London, those snoopers may be more interested in your JJ/Exec/MDA/VPA/M5000 then your messages!
Hey, London's not that bad!
tell u what jah, I'm more worried about my messages than my jasjar, although someone would have to be very very brave to try anything with me,
anyway I'm actually always in the car with it, I would like some real super duper voice activation software, I know of all the standard ones but I found on my xda fonix was the best, by the wa any ideas how to turn the autopreview of messages off by the way
Anyone who snoops is risking a fat lip from me.
Nobody has any interest in the content of your messages.
They are only considering how many of them its going to take to hold you down while they mug you.
I usually give them full eye contact and ask solidly if they'd mind f** off.
It usually does the trick.
Also beware of the honey trap snooper gaff. ie. attractive lady snoops as a means to get into a conversation. She then starts asking questions about you, your life, where you live, what you do etc.
I've known people who've lost everything to gangs in this way.
And no, I am not exaggerating.
Where is the auto preview? Can someone post a screenshot? I've never used my universal for messages, so I've no idea how it looks. I'll see if anything can be done about it if it's possible.

Isn't it just a case of turning off "display" in the notification settings for New SMS messages? I set it up for my CAR profile on PocketZenPhone and it works a treat, so it should just show the notification icon, but NOT display the message bubble.

hi guys, ok I've taken some time to catch up with the thread that I posted on snoopers and auto preview.
I think there's been a bit of confusion on the definition of auto preview. let me explain
When you access your messages be it text messages, mms or email, you will notice that when you go to inbox, the messages are displayed showing you the sender, directly underneath the sender you will see the message contents without actually entering the message.
I suppose its exactly like outlook where there is an option to show you the message directly underneath the subject line and not in a separate preview window.
I basically want to turn this option off as by default wm 05 shows you the message without opening it.
Help appreciated
Cheers guys
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 ?
I was wondering if there is a program built in the HTC that can send photos in 1 click to the assigned emails.
For example : I take a picture, go to send - email, and thats it.
The software automatically sends the picture to any assigned emails.
On my previous N97, I had a program called PixelPipe that can do that. But since the HTC triumphs over the N97, I feel that it can do that without the fuss of using an external program.
If its not possible, what program does that ?
You can do that with the camera.
Take a picture, and when the menu bar appears, click the envelope
Thanks for replying
Yes im aware of that feature, but thats exactly why I was referring for (implied actually)
I want a way to click e.g. Send by Email => It sends to all assigned contacts directly
The option you are referring to, I have to add the emails manually, PLUS I must have an email assigned to the phone.
So any ideas ?

Sorry - you've lost me there. Of course you have to have an email account on the phone, and of course you have to enter email addresses (or names, if they're in your contact list with email addresses assigned).
No phone in the world will have native functionality to send emails without you first setting up an email account, and to suggest you want to send emails without telling the phone who to send them to is ridiculous.
Either I've completely misunderstood you or that request is ludicrous (no offense, but it is!)
Hmm I think I wrote a rather confusing description
I remember in Pixel Pipe you had to register using your email, so yeah either way you must have your email registered, my bad.
But other than that here is how it works :
You open the program
You add a list of emails you want to send to
Take a picture
Press " SEND BY EMAIL "
The software comes in and you click your account name
The software sends the picture to emails you already registered to them before
I hope this makes it clearer

Okay, I understand now. I just don't see why that's any better than the native functionality of the phone as it stands.
You open the camera app
You take a picture
You press send
You select email type
You enter email addresses
It sends an email
It's a very straight-forward process. I guess not many people would want to send picture after picture to the same group of people. (I'm not even sure the group of people would want it either lol).
If you really want the application you mentioned earler, you're better off requesting that from the developers. The only close alternatives out-of-the-box are things like facebook or twitter uploads.
Trying to do something similar to the BBM (black berry messenger) .. Friends share pictures in an instant, one click.
Since I dont have a blackberry, I send by email, so I just wanted a faster way to send pictures rather than typing the same email over and over again.
Have you tried using the "Groups" tool in the HTC Contact application? Not sure if it can do e-mail or just phone numbers since I'm not using it myself.
I dunno about the Groups tool, going to check it now.
But I found a good thing about HTC, thats why I love this phone.
If you assign someone with an email in Contacts, then by typing the first letter (or first few) in the " TO : " Field, the name will pop instantly, saving time from typing it all !!!
So its :
*take a picture
*press mailbox sign
*choose email
*type first letter
*choose contact
*send
Love it
But what is the groups tool you mentioned pphuck ??

Click to collapse
contact tab -> all contacts -> third icon "Groups"
my guess is that you can create a group of people and then use this group for your photo mail, but i haven't tested it myself
Not sure how that would work though, because you are supposed to enter contacts' emails in "Send To" field

i would presume that you could enter the name of the group as a contact
I just tried that, didnt work.
It sounds like a great idea though, it should be implemented !!
Hi - does anyone know how to edit or remove favourites on the contacts screen? None of the menu options has it (or it's not obvious). I've set up some contacts with the "wrong" default contact method and I want to change it.
Thanks.
PS unlocked Desire from Clove - arrived Wednesday 14th April.
Press - People after that Groups, select Favorites and long press over the contact

Thanks Soledue. Typical - I sort of discovered the method not long after I posted and it's how you describe. The people widget can show any group - Favorites is just one of them! Cheers.
Am I being really dumb, because I'm having a problem with this too and your solution doesn't seem to solve it!?
All I want to do is remove some people from the "Favorites" group.
I have selected that contact, chosen "Edit", opened the groups list and unchecked the box. The list on the contact's screen still shows "Favorites" and they still appear on the widget. Go back in to edit the contact and the box is still unchecked.
If I open People and then open the groups screen, select the group and long press the contact I have the following menu items: "Call Mobile", "Edit Contact", "Delete Contact", and "Send contact as vCard". Delete contact does exactly that, delete's them completely from the phone.
So how can I get these people out of the Favorites group???
It's prob cause it's still on the Google sync'd contact...had some issues with it myself

My feeling was the same, especially since I have been able to get the contacts removed from the group and widget only to have them reappear minutes later. I assumed this was the result of the phone sync'ing. But I can't quite figure it out... if I view the contact in gmail they aren't a member of the "Starred" group and there is no "Favorite" group, so I think that group must be local to the device.
I am getting the same also, if you view the details they are not in any group, yet show on the widget and in the favourites group itself. Even went to google and removed the notes that, I think, related to the group entry???
Same problem here!
I've added a contact to the Favorites Tab and now I can't delete it from the Group. I've tried all the methods from above posts but none works.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's quite frustrating!
The only prob I have , i that every group has " voice mail " in it .. at the top!!...
cant get rid of it .. and it's not part of grp settings
any ideas?

I have spent all day trying to remove one contact that was stuck in the favourites and your idea worked instantly.
I could remove and add other users just not this particular people.
Thank you
I have had a similar issue to all mentioned in this thread, and there is a way to resolve it.
I beleive the problem is caused by multiple entries per contact. These entries are from your contact, sim contact, google contacts etc.
This is how I fixed the issue;
>Click on the people app
>Select the contact you want to fix (unfortunately it has to be done individually)
>on the top right of the screen there will be something call "Linked", tap on this
>this now shows you what this contact is linked to. If it shows multiple phone, facebook, google etc unlink them all
>make sure you only 1 phone contact, in this set the Group to favourite (or whatever you want), now either link the google/hotmail etc ones to it, or copy the details to the contact and delete all duplicate details
I have condensed mine to phone contact and facebook (plus a few with google).
The desire links all different contact details from various form together. when it does this it picks its own default one, hence you have favourites that aren't, or vice versa.
It took me about 2 to 3 hours to go through my entire contacts list sort it out, pain-staking, but well worth it

THANK YOU!
I'd been at the groups menu and looked at my favorite contacts, but it never occurred to me to remove them from the group directly! Spent several hours editing this one contact I was dying to remove from favorites, only to find it stuck as a favorite. Went through my Google Contacts settings over and over, synchronizing manually every minute after un-starring it, but this was what I was looking for!
I registered only to thank you ^^
Im rather confussed
I have just got my ideos..
what widget r u talking about? I have no contact app.
Im wanting to deleted the people out of the "favroites" in the phone book area...
Please explain to me what to do???
thanks
I have had my EVO for about 2 weeks (came from a Blackberry) and noticed something odd in the address book contacts.
For every phone number within the contacts, it gives you the option to send a message. It gives you this option even if it is not a mobile number. Can this be fixed? Is there another way to store contacts within Android - because several times I've pressed the wrong number to send a message to without realizing it and then get a message of course saying they never received the message (because it was sent to their landline or fax).
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter -
Sincerely,
Kevin

This is not a glitch. Sprint offers text to landline. Edit: NVM it does not cost extra

Solution, dump the default messaging app get handcent and turn on the handcent option that only shows mobile numbers. Now when you want to type a new message make sure you go into handcent find the person there and it wont' show anything but their mobile.
many thanks...
...but was hoping that rather than a purely SMS app that there was a replacement address book app. Is there such a thing? Something with all the functionality of the default address book?
I have a gmail account - is there a google option for this? Please forgive noob question as I'm very new to android and am trying to figure this all out.
Many thanks bud.

No the address book will let you send text messages to any number. You either need to be more careful when choosing a number there to text, or instead go to your text message app and initiate new messaged through there.
