Hi
I have a Touch Diamond. I was wondering if anyone can help me. Does anyone know of an inbox extender (or feel like writing one) that will enable me to:
Open a new(blank) SMS message, write it, and when I press "send" (or even "to") it will show me a list of , say, the last 10 people I sent SMS messages to? I have another app which I bought to allow me to group message (PowerSMS) which has a feature which calls up (lightning fast) your SMS history on the stats page, so I assume it is at least possbile to call up SMS history quickly without having a performance impact.
My old Nokia used to have this, and it's dead handy. Otherwise I find myself having to scroll through the 20+ Pauls or Andy's in my contacts list to find the particular Paul or Andy that I always text.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks
Stoatie
hmmm ... have I posted this in the wrong forum section??
How do you select several people at a time when you send a same message?
its very annoying when u only allow to select one person at a time and click on add recipient millions time when you try to send a message like "happy new year" to 300 people.
Anyway, happy new year to everyone.
if you press enter on the key board it goes to the contact list you have to pick one at a time but you can do it in the same message, not sure if there's another way around this...
Yes, it's limiting. I had been looking for a mail client that has the concept of mailing list for a long time but could't find one.
If anyone knows of such a mail client, please share.
Power SMS has a functionality to define "groups" for multisending, and selecting a group it adds automatically the recipients in standard sms. of course you still have to add contacts one at time, but you have to do the process one time only (next year, hopefully, you'll still have the "new year's eve" database)

so u mean we can't go to multi-selection mode and select several people at at time then? Does the Power SMS able to do so? Coz u can't define a group that work for every message.
But thanks.
as an add on to your Q how can you make the text box bigger any one know?
Have you tried groupsms in google?
Worked for me. I only know because someone else on this forum recomended it to me for exactly the same reason but in another thread.
Hope this helps.
Enter your numbers as follows
<no 1>;<no 2>;<no 3> and so on...
You can save a contact with the mobile numbers set to a group of numbers in the format svown and then enter this one contact and the to: list is filled with the numbers for you.
Actually... there are 2 others ways to add multiple recipients... although neither is as quick as simply ticking all that apply!
[1] Tap the word "To:", select a contact, and repeat.
[2] In the space after the "To:", type the first letter of the contact name... and a selection of contacts starting with that letter will be shown in a horizontally scrolling list just above the keyboard. When you've found which contact to add in that list... click it, and it will be added to the "To:" field, followed by a ";" ready for you to repeat the process for the next contact!
GROUP SMS

I've been using this for ages...grown very comfortable with it too. Now, yesterday, all of a sudden, something happened and it doesn't put in the ";" automatically I admit, it's only a small thing, but it's annoying once you're so used to doing something one way. So if anyone has any idea how to fix it...please help!
PS: Closing messaging and restarting it didn't work, and neither did a soft reset

i've just tried Your recipe for sending group message and it's brilliant. THNX for the tip
Hello All,
I'm on the first 24hrs with my new HTC Touch Pro 2. Liking it so far!
Through using advanced config I've finally gotten rid of the
sms sent notification which was going to make me return the device it was
that annoying however:
Whenever I send an SMS in a threaded conversation it shows up in bold.
If I back out to all threads it shows "1 Unread" which is the one I sent (wtf).
So at times if I send three sms's to someone, it will show "3 unread" and touch
flo 3d will show 3 unread. I physically have to go in and out of the conversation
with the specific person 3 times, in order to clear it out. @#$(&@#($!!! is it just me? How do I fix this?
edit: it seems like if i send an sms I have to spend a few seconds in the conversation for it to register before I back out, and then it doesn't show
1 unread. But still. How is it unread if I thought it up and sent it?
Lastly, because of the way I cannot see threads in touch flo 3d in regards to
SMS i just completely avoid it and hit "all messages" and sms that way (anyone else hate flicking through a huge sms inbox?)
please help,
bluecoat
TF3d does have a threaded view; just click on the SMS and it brings up the conversation

? If you are conversing with MANY people, TF3d is buns. Do you know anything about my question?
hmmmm... strange, I thought it stays 'bold' until its actually sent.
Check your outbox, is the message still there when its bold?
Okay, I searched and searched but could not find a solution to this issue. A very minor one, but a quite annoying one, at least to me.
I know a lot of people have been having problems with phantom text message notifications, but I actually want to be able to mark messages as "unread". In the Windows text message application, I select a message (or conversation thread), then when I go to "menu" > "mark as unread", that option isn't highlighted and I'm unable to select it. I'm also unable to select the flagging options in the "follow-up" submenu, though those are less important to me than the "mark as unread" option.
PLEASE help! I'm a heavy text messenger (part of the reason I got this phone), and I really need that feature.
Is there a registry hack or cab or something for this? Where would I look?
I am running a stock T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have had my TP2 on Orange UK for a while, recently upgraded to WM6.5, and have a couple of really frustrating problems:-
1. If an SMS message cannot be sent it goes into drafts and doesn't resend automatically. This is bad enough, but when I open it to try to resend it has my own mobile number as the recipient, so cannot simply press "send". The only way I can resend it is by selecting "menu" then "forward" and then re-entering the recipient. Unbelieveably frustrating!! Can anyone help please?
2. I'm a long time HTC WM user, and well used to the challenge of Phone contacts being difficult to navigate (however careful you may be when swiping the list, accidentally touching a contact for too long opens it, and when you press "Back" it takes you to the top of the list... this is rubbish!! I have about 300 contacts on my phone. On upgrading to 6.5 I now have a new "Contacts" icon in the start menu, which is obviously a different app. Its far more user friendly, better layout for my 50 yr old eyes and doesn't have the same issue of going "back", as pressing the "X" takes you back to where you were in the list. Is there any way you can use this as the default app for contacts in the phone menu?
