Looking for a way to make incoming sms popup on screen at arrival

Hi guys,
I had an app on my blackstone some time ago that made an incoming sms messages popup at the bottom of the screen in a small window without me having to start the message app. I did a hard reset my phone today and are desperate to get this app back. I have searched this forum but I can't find the app anymore. Could someone please help me.
Thanks!

start->settings->sound & notifications->notifications->Event (select Messaging: New text message)->tick "Display message on screen"->click OK

Thanks a lot! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

no problem! i won't deduct any points for NOT knowing some pretty basic stuff (like displaying SMS on screen).!!! just kidding!! have a great day/evening!

don't know if it's ROM related or not, but when I was using Diamond, I could reply or delete sms that popped out. But now, I can only hide them. What's up with this?

sms problem, again...

I just updated my rom with the official update from HTC's website yesterday, all my text messages are fine under the touchflo 3d interface. However, when i click "show all messages" and it takes me to the windows mobile interface, i am only able to see the last message I SENT to the person. On the bottom corner it will tell me how many ever messages i have in my inbox, but only 1 message is displayed and it will be the last message i sent out....
Is anyone else having this problem? Help please!!!

bump anyone??

have you tried clicking on that 1 message? it should bring up the threaded conversation

yeah, its supposed to be threaded with WM 6+. you can go back to the other way by turning it off through Advanced Config 3.3
The only thing i don't like about the threaded messaging is if you look at a text from any previous day it won't give you the time it was sent/received, just the day.

HTC DESIRE SMS simple texts ?

I dislike the SMS and Hancent text programmes.
I migrated from a Nokia E71 and prefer the simple SMS format
PLEASE PLEASE help as all I want is an app that will work and give me simple texts with an INBOX DRAFT SENT OUTBOX
can someone please help?

I cant think of any reason you want to do that - non-threaded convos were one of the bigger reasons I got rid of my E71
But to answer your question, I have np idea if such sms replacer app exists :-[

Definitely agree, wen I first saw the threaded verson I thought wtf is this n how do I turn it off!! But within a day of using it, I realised its the best improvement to sms that I've seen in a LONG time. Stick with it and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for that but I also had an Iphone which I hated.
I am familiar with 'conversations' but whatever anyone else thinks I prefer the old system and find the thread way confusing and annoying!
I want a simple INBOX SENT OUTBOX
I may have a 2 week old Desire for sale if not

lol your not serious about selling your desire just because it has as default the conversation sms style?
look in the market maybe theres something for you, if not then get used to it cuz it really isnt that hard and your probably 1 out of 100+ that doesnt like this style, and to be honest most of the phones these days have it that way anyway so might be a bit tough for you to replace the functionality of a desire with a different phone that has the 'old' sms style
btw. instead of having the simple INBOX SENT OUTBOX u got even simpler all in one. theres no need for outbox anyway

Wow... I can't believe that some people don't like conversation view. It saves so much time compared with flicking between the message I'm writing and the one I'm replying to!

You're not the only one. I also hated conversation view when I got my Hero, but got used to it eventually. I might look at creating an app to solve this problem (simple mind you, like an SMS reader rather than AIO)

I can understand you because when I receive sms from my girlfriend I prefer having an isolated message than a thread thats looks more like a chat ^^ search on the market for sms manager its a freeware

What I find annoying is the small space allocated to my text message as I'm entering it. Why not devote half a screen to it so I can see my whole message as I type it? Sometimes I type a long sentence and the start has scrolled off, so i only notice mistakes after i've sent them.

I hope you will create an app?
The more & more I use texts the more & more I am tempted to switch back to my Nokia E71

OK instead of people telling this guy he's crazy for not loving it let's attempt to be more helpful in a practical sense.
What is it in particular you find confusing about a threaded conversation? Give me an example of a use case where having your messages organised in this way is less than suitable. Maybe if we clear up the confusion you'll find it easier.

well if you do go back to the E71 dont ever upgrade your phone because as far as i know all phones are using this new conversation style sms system now even the new nokias so i would try and get used to it if i were you.

FroYo SMS...

Is it safe to say that FroYo's built-in SMS capabilities don't allow you to send an SMS to multiple people at the same time? I was able to do this in 2.1, but maybe that was just due to HTC's implementation of SMS, I'm not sure.
I'd hate to have to get an APP for this, but if I do is there anything you guys recommend?
Thanks!

I've sent to multiple people

type in the first number than a comma then second number
try that...

When you start a new message, select the "send to" area, and add your first contact. Select the send to area again, and add additional contacts...

Awesome thanks! I started playing with it some more and figured out what you guys had just confirmed
I guess I felt they could make it a bit easier, haha. After adding the first contact, I put my cursor after the comma that was added and had to two at least 2 more characters for my contact list to pop up again.
Maybe I'm just being picky xD
Anyway, thanks for the help! ^_^

[Q] Group text

I looked for a similar thread and I couldn't find anything. I dont know if its rom specific or maybe a setting I missed somewhere.
I'm Military and I often get group texts from 10+ people at a time. I'm running Slimkat 4.0 release. Now I get the texts which is great but I get them all individually. Instead of all on one text. So I have multiple numbers texting me from one group and It's hard to know who was the original sender to reply. Is there a setting I happened to miss or is this something that I can fix through some help. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

There might be some settings there in the message app, but I have never used that ROM to be honest.. Textra works really well with group messaging however, you might want to give it a try!

I downloaded it and I'll give it a try. Seems to fit my needs for the "inverted" type. Hopefully its the app and Textra will fix it. Thank you.

You're welcome just remember if one of the recipient's SMS app doesn't support group texting, you'll still receive the messages individually, but only for those recipient's replies
