Appreciate any help with the following questions regarding SMS:
On the home screen is it possible to hold more than 25 texts on display to scroll through without having to go through all messages tab?
When deleteing messages in the all messages tab,is it possible to delete messages seperately when you have multiple messages from the same person.I keep deleteing whole "conversations" rather than just one or two that I don't need to keep.(hope that makes sense)
And finally,is it possible to add another folder to the list i.e. named friends for example,as well as the standard deleted,drafts,inbox,outbox and sent folders?
Apologies if this has been asked before,but I'm all searched out on this one! lol.
you could try to change the layout of the messages, instead of threaded, you could put standard and delete one by one? I haven't personally tried this though.
Of course deleting from TF3D would delete just one message...
Thx for reply............anyone else have any ideas,even if its just to tell me it cant't be done,at least I'd know ,thx.
Bump.............any help??

Thanks for the tip on changing the message layout from threaded(I'm a complete noob and have only just found out how to do this in tweak!) I think this will solve the problem of deleteing messages I want to keep.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to/if at all possible,add another folder to put messages that I want to keep into. e.g. Friends folder,Work messges folder etc,cheers.
Hello Guys,
I just got a HTC Desire and I really like this cell phone.
But I have a problem with my SMSes.
Before, I got a HTC Diamond and I had allot of text messages on it.
So, I found a sollution to backup my SMSes from my Diamond to my new Desire.
What I did: I downloaded SMS Exporter 0.5 and made a XML file. I opened this XML file with my Desire.
Everything worked, I got my SMSes back.
But some SMSes (from the same person/number) are separeted from eachother. Sometimes I got 3 different conversations, but they all are from the same number.
So, my question is: can I join them togheter and edit my inbox?
Besides that, I got problems if I push the send button, it doesn't response (in the conversation screen). The only thing what works is to set up a new sms in a different windows.
I only have this problem with contacts who are "backupped". So, with new contacts everything works.
I really want a sollution for this
Thanks in advance,
Frank

it sounds like the backup file is either not compatible or is corrupted.
i'd recommend deleting the sms from your desire and use a different program to backup your smses to your desire
This is very much possible, but the right apps do not exist at the moment.
I (actually my better half too) have successfully transfered my 11600 SMS messages (almost 3mb uncompressed) from several generations of WinMo phones (thanks to PIM Backup!) to my Desire using SMS Exporter v0.5 and SMS Backup & Restore. However, the XML file produced by SMS Exporter is not identical to the ones SMS Backup likes to "eat", so they require considerable editing (search and replace-mania) and some knowledge of what means what in the files.
Now, there are not many programs that can export SMS as .xml for WinMo (at least that I've found), but there are loads that can backup/restore XMLs for Android. Unfortunately none have the precise same XML setup as SMS Exporter so simply importing a SMS Exporter file will likely yield errors and issues.
I wish some code wiz would have a look at this and make a working solution, it should be pretty easy, even simply some kind of script could be run on a computer, to convert a SMS Exporter xml to something readable by one of the several capable Android apps.

Hi! Use sprite transfer. It's totally free and very efficient. I used it to transfer all PIM data and bookmarks from my HD2 to my Desire. Seems to work fine to transfer from Symbian, Blackberry and WinMo to Android. ;-)

Thanks for the tip about Sprite Backup, thought it cost money, but things must have changed since I last used it years and years ago. If it works, we're golden (too late for me though)
I'm sorry, it's not Sprite Transfer as I wrote, but Sprite Migrate. It's totally free and available there:

Replace WorldWideWeb by " www "
May help others...

Be prepared for it to start hiccuping when you try to browse that many messages. I've probably sent and received about 6-7000 with one of my mates over the years (guessing 1,5-2mb worth of text), when I enter that thread from the message app the device needs to think for a few seconds Need something like "hide (not delete) older messages", but I haven't found a setting or app that can do that. Checked out Handcent SMS, it's faster browsing messages and hides older messages, only problem is, when clicking "show older", it only shows sent, not received. Sort of takes the point out of threaded SMS.

I used "SMS Migrator" (http://a.baole.org/home/sms-migrator)
Can I just ask why you want to keep all these messages? Surely all of them can't be that important! I get it if its a pretty girl, or a message that has some personal meaning, but surely you can't re read all of them!
Why don't you just create an website from the xml and bookmark the url? You could have a link for each contact then. In fact if someone wants to tell me what each xml category contains and its heading, ill knock u up something searchable in php.

Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude
Hi
I have alot of SMS'es I want to delete and also have alot I want/need to save.
Is there a way to Select/Mark multiple SMS'es and then delete? I don't want to delete the whole threads as there are many SMS'es I want/need to save.
I'm using the built-in SMS application right now.
Regards,
Kensy
The way that I manage them is by tapping and holding the text that I want to keep and then tapping 'lock'. If you do this for all of the texts you want to keep, you can delete the thread but those messages will remain.
I think there is a program or a patch that allows you to mark multiple messages but I'm not sure what or where to find it.

Hi I would like to ask if anyone knows how to easily save your SMS messages in your Sent Items folder. I found option that can be used InTheHand the Mobile Library is a paid service. Then the library MAPI.Net but I could not find any documentation. Could someone advise me how to do it? I'm Sending SMS through the Internet and I want to save a copy of sent message to the default sent folder.
