Hi, is there a feature on the Play or app on the market where I can send a text to a group of people, instead of texting to a single person/a few people with the Plays built in text feature. It takes too long sending the same text individually. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are you on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
I found the same problem verrrry frustrating on 2.3.3 because you had to singly select a contact to text (with stock sms app) but with 2.3.4 when you go to send a message, all you contacts have a tick beside them so you can select as many as you like. so it works fine on 2.3.4.
If your on 2.3.3 and dont want to upgrade to 2.3.4 you can download a different sms app to solve the problem easily. Go SMS or Hancent are 2 good apps for it.
Im on 2.3.3, ive not had an update for 2.3.4 yet. Will I recieve it soon or do I have to download it myself?? If not il try the apps you mentioned, thanks.

i don't know but GO SMS works really fine for me.. i don't have slow downs on my phone ever since.. i usually have 200-230MB of RAM available with GO SMS "persistently" running on background. besides, isn't it that linux manages RAM differently than windows in that it pools memory for easier app access? either way, i don't have problems with GO SMS really..of all i've tried, it's the best--battery-wise, RAM-wise, overall performance-wise..
If you delete some running apps it does help you with slowdown with doom kernel
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

Hi! I'm looked throught all posts, but nothing found about this, no one answer. Just some questions from some users, but no answers
My problem is- I don't have multitasking on alpharev s-off rooted New Sence ReflexTSence HD. now I have v 1.7, before I had 1.5, 1.6.
I tryed to use taskkiller app, all is ok while it is running... I have used different settings, some of them was ok. !!!BUT!!! After some time on standby taskkiller kills itself or phone kills it, I realy don't know. So if I delete taskkiller app, multitasking doesn't exists anyway. Web browser closes after I hit home button and use any other app like sms @mail or player (power amp) or phone book...
I CAN'T SEND SMS OR MAKE PHONE CALL WITHOUT LOOSING WEB SESSION (((confused: (SORRY 4 MY POOR LANGUAGE)
First of all, uninstall the taskkiller app, it will do more harm then good. It is not needed anymore since android 2.2.
If you phone runs out of memory it will kill your websession. Don't know a solution for this, you could try an other rom, but that's your own choice.
but some times it works ANY IDEA???
I tried this... but why author all time puts it into rom??

if you dont want to use rom
you can use mini info and see how much ram you have and the cpu usage.
Also try a different webbrowser?
I like built in browser much more

Can you not delete the MMS.apk from the /system/app folder? I'd freeze the stock app in TB first to make sure Handcent doesn't need it for anything.
See I thought the same thing I went into it under manage apps and deleted cache and everything, it ended up deleting all my convos in each the hand cent and stock one, so I think it needs parts out of that apk

Okay I used tb to freeze it and I can stillget texts but I'm not going to delete it,i don't know if it holds anything else that I may need
Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
when i freeze my mms.apk my texts still work but I will get the popup in handcent right away and about 30 seconds later the notification sound will play. as soon as i unfreeze it pops up and plays audio right away. Other than that I have noticed no problems with freezing it

I use a themed stock MMS, so I'm not sure if Handcent is a stand-alone messaging app or if it works with the stock app. As for freezing vs uninstalling; smart move. That's what I do if I'm not sure how the ROM will behave without the .apk. If all is well after a few days, I'll go back in and uninstall it to free up internal storage.
On the Moment, you had to have stock MMS even if you were using Handcent or Chomps, et al. Just had to uncheck the notifications in settings.
I can only assume the Evo is the same way (Or all 'droids, for that mater)

Handcent is a stand alone app and you do not need the stock sms app.
To uninstall:
-open titanium backup
-taps backup/restore at the top
-scroll down till you see the stock sms app
-tap it, select uninstall
Now, what I recently realized, if you DELETE the backups or it, then select uninstall the app, the next time you flash and update of your rom, like CM7 nightly 64 > 65, it'll list all the "uninstalled apps" at the top, for quick deletion, which I find useful.
i just changed the file ext from .apk to .adk through root explorer....a lil easier,i think
Thus has been real help full , if you change the type of file its still taking up space, only down side

in the past i found that sometimes i couldnt open an mms in handcent but could in the native app. after it was opened in the native app i could then open it in handcent. so i figured whats the harm in keeping the native just in case
Hi everyone,
I have been using the Xperia Arc since May this year. A month or less into its usage I noticed it slowing down considerably. I am not bothered much with the apps which might take their own sweet time to open even in the faster phones. However the main reason for concern are the "Message Inbox" and the "Contacts". They take ages to open and more often than not throw up the "force close" noticfication.
This has caused much heartburn and embarrassment to me.
The last time I had this problem an app from the market called "apps2SD" helped me speed up the phone drastically by freeing up the internal memory. As of now, every app that can be moved to the SD card, has been moved. I have 160MB RAM free, 142MB of internal memory free and 2.2GB in SD. It asks for clearign the cache which I do every now and then.
I also have a lot of messages in my Message inbox. Do they have any part to play in slowing down the phone, when opening the "Msg Inbox"?
The processes running are:
Settings
Mail (yahoo)
Messenger (Yahoo)
Xperia arc flash light
Clock
Data monitor
Gauge battery widget
Crash monitor
sonyerric.usb??
google serv
devicemonitor
music
S E sync
Digi clock
setup guide
mtp app
digi clock
secureclockservice
status switch

I have only installed basic apps and games. I am not versed with the advanced applications and I don't know what the "launcher" apps are. Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Depending on how many messages and contacts you have (hundreds?thousands?) opening up a huge database can surely slow down your device.
On which firmware are you? did you root your device and/or unlock your bootloader?
The contacts are just what an average person would have. It might be a hundred or barely two hundred at most.
The messages however are many. A vague guess would be around five hundred. It might even be thousand but not much more than that.
My old Nokia N85 had significantly more contacts and messages. Around 250+ contacts and 2000+ messages, but never threw up such a problem or a delay in accessing them. I am emphasising on them, but even the other apps and regular scrolling has shown significant slowing down.
Firmware is 2.3.3 (if it means Android version) Build number: 3.0.1.A.0.145
It hasn't been rooter or has had the boot loader unlocked.
Try to clear your homescreen widget.
See if anything changes in speed.
I believe that running apps consume alot of ram.
Try using titanium and convert system app to user app, just make sure you've back up before doing so.
And clear anything related to ram, useless apps.

i think that's the point, Sarath_'s device is not rooted that's why Titanium Backup can't be used.
@ Sarath_
Cleaning homescreen widgets and/or applications (settings>applications>manage applications) can help a bit for sure.
Be carefull while cleaning anything other then 'cache' or you might loose some settings also.
Maybe you should consider cleaning out a few messages too
@Nirak
Sorry my bad.
Didnt noticed that.
Since he asking for help, well i suggest @Sarath_ to root his arc, and get started to rid of useless apps with titanium. Dont you agree with me @Nirak?
I guess thats the best solution i can think of now with my locked bootloader.
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
sounds like you have an awful lot of messages on the phone, id start by clearing them down.. why keep so many? maybe you can get an app to back them up if you need to?
@nujhum
absolutely agree! rooting and then a good clean up would be the best option to gain space and speed.
I have a locked bootloader to, cuz i'm an android noob and just a little scared to unlock and loose official SEUS to repair when i mess up
Ever find a solution? I have the exact same problem and I'm on Rogers with a locked bootloader...
How.many free ram you have.

Hi,
I have some problems with my s3 mini, samsung sms app is not scrolling smoothly btw i don't wanna use 3rd sms apps or push some different apps into system.
How can we fix this? I've seen other sms programs scrolling smoothly in sms view.
I have to keep hundreds of sms ,it's being a big problem when i wanna see old conversations.
It's laggin like 1 fps , like a graphics card driver not installed..
Any ideas ?

Nobody's app does.
Yea, i know that but my question is how can we fix that thing.
Can we edit/modify stock mms app?
Like pull secMms.apk from system , modify and push into system again?
I know, there is some experienced people can do that in here.
Who can help with that?
No lag here..totally smooth for me.
That's scrolling lots of messages from different contacts and a conversation with 200 messages in it.
how is this possible
my list scrolling like 2 fps,
it's killing me.. i guess i have to install some mms-sms apk like go sms, etc. but it has to be a way to fix that thing..
plase help! :banghead:

I've noticed that using battery saving mode causes a bit lag, but that's expected, cause when you enter battery saving mode it says it will limit proc functions
Yes it does limit the CPU to 800MHz but still not completely smooth with power saving off.
Yep...But it' less laggy

Go through and delete anything you don't need. I know it seems like a bit of a noobish thing to say but it's all I could think of
Sent from my GT-I8190N using xda app-developers app
firstly
what rom are you using?
this will help with providing suggestions so always let people know what rom you are running
secondly
how much space have you got on the phone's internal memory?
how many applications do you have running at any given time?
Ok, so rather than flash again to CM10.1 or whatever, I've decided I would like to disable the conversion of <3 into that one with the Android with hearts for Eyes, and likewise for all other Emoji.
Is this possible without massive effort, or should I switch to another MMS application. I'm not opposed to plan B. Handcent and Chomp are my two candidates.
However I wanna know if this is something that is built into the keyboard first, since if thats the case almost all my apps will display them in place of plaintext ones.
I am also open to modifying font packages if I need to.

Yeah, I just tried to fiddle and replace the emojis in the fonts and ****, with a backup beforehand of course. They showed up as squares, so I said screw it and installed GO SMS Pro. Oddly all of the issues I was having before such as Contact Pictures and whatnot, arent occuring, and on deodexed its oddly pretty fast.
I am still having the issue with GO Contacts EX Not grouping contacts by contacts (Like I have configured in google), but at least GO SMS Pro works now!
Heck I can even only have it display mobile contacts.
Oh hey look I accidentally....a bad word XP.
