MMS instead of SMS?? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, this maybe a lame question...
I just tried to send an SMS, but instead of the "SEND" button, my phone just showed me the "MMS" button... When i click it, i can choose between sound, song, picture, video etc...
My message did not exceed 160 characters. When I just pick "new message", there is the MMS-button, not the send button...
I checked the settings, nut didnt find a solution...
How to set my phone back to SMS insted MMS?
Thanks a lot!!

intellipad question regarding sending text messages

When on the today screen, you select new message. Upon seeing the new message screen and intellipad input method is selected, you can't use the intellipad to choose names in contacts. You can type out the name of the person in your contact, but it won't automatically complete the name, and verify the contact you are sending to (with the contact's cellphone number displayed). But if you type a contact's name using the keyboard, after hitting 3 keys, it automatically displays candidates that you can choose to send message to. This creates additional hassles, use a keyboard to select the contact you're gonna send message to, then sellect intellipad to input text messages. It's kind of a hassle. Any ideas?
Agree.
I do it the other way around...when I want to send a text message, I click on the call button, find the person I need with intellipad, then click and hold the name, and the menu that pops up allows me to send them a text message...easier and faster this way!
Ok. Thanks for the tip. Sure hope somebody fixes the issue though.
Unfortunately, it's the way IntelliPad was designed.
<techie>
Instead of trying to handle the entered text on whatever text box/trich text pad/label/unsupported text object, IntelliPad builds the word in it's own little box until you tell it to move on (by pressing enter or space), and then just moves the word onto the active control.
This way, you have less issues with the text not working as expected, even though it causes the one or two niggles like in Messaging .

Text Messages (1)

Anyone else having this problem? I deleted all my text messages and the header still says Text Messages (1) as if there is 1 unread one... ????!?!
Not sure exactly...When I get a text and read it but don't want to delete it stays on the topbar. I have to go back to text messages page on the panel and scroll on it again. It will usually then remove it from the topbar. If you don't need the text message just delete it and it also is removed from the topbar on homescreen. I don't know if thats what you are having issues with but that's not the end of the world for myself.
I'm using WM6.1. It has the threaded text message strings. After i go into a message/conversation and read the text message it should remove the (1) from the top bar signifying no unread messages. I've read all my messages and even went as far as deleting them all but the (1) still persists!
Did you try to restart the phone like turn it off and back on... Also check your MMS maybe you have some message that was unread in there... Check it out and get back if this does not fix it...
Go to your registry and check the value there, look in : HKCU\System\State\Messages, and look in sms or wherever and check the count, if at 1 then set it to 0.
Also, remember the message is not "Read" if you just view without responding.
if you dont respond, you need to <- out of it....not hitting the home key or cancel or whatever.
that is the only thing that works for me.
I have a similar problem, when I view a text message it is not marked read immediately, and home screen shows the mail icon. To get over this problem, I do the following: after reading a message, I press Menu->Close instead of just pressing the BACK button.

nooooooooooooooooo i can't seem to do anything to get rid of it! i delete all the messages and even after that reset the registry key stated by showaco and after a restart it still shows [email protected] ARGghghhghghg
Could it be an unread message stored in another folder such as Drafts or Trash?
Unfortunately not
I checked each folder and went as far as emptying them all
Listen, i try to explain how to do:
go to : Start-settings-accessibility- sms inbox threating -and make it :disable
then
to go: start-celetask and close text messages
open text messages and view if you have messages unread...
and make sms inbox threating enable
close another time text messages with celetask and im sure thats is ok
i m so sorry for my english
Solution Halleleujuah!!!!

MMS Sent Notification (NOT SMS)

Ok... First of all, this is NOT ABOUT SMS (Regular Text Messages). I have LONG known about the SMS sent disable key.
Now that we have that out of the way. For whatever reason, when I send, forward, or reply to an MMS (picture/Video message), I still get notifications, even with the SMS Notification Disabled. Am thinking that because it's a whole new program, the registry key for that portion is in a different area. I have not found it YET.
IF ANYONE has found the Registry key and, with success, have changed it... Let me know..
Thanks

Seems pretty straight forward... We will see as time goes on.
There is one other notification that seems to be evading me, however.. I have one of those bluetooth car kits. For whatever reason, the "Volume up/down" on the bluetooth is not compatible with the phone, no biggie..... EXCEPT... Every time it connects, reconnects, re-syncs, etc... I get the same message. It states "The Volume control on the bluetooth device is not supported by this phone, please adjust volume on the headset" (probably not 100% accurate, but it's generally what it says). I understand why it's there, however, I've known about it for quite a while now.... I don't need to be reminded. Is there a way to rid myself of that notification?
Thanks

Notification SMS vs. e-mail

Hi,
Ideally, I would like to get just an icon notification with e-mail, but a vibrate+sound+icon when I get SMS.
I went to the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
And under there I find two entries that seem to be relevant:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} (which describes itself as "Messaging: New e-mail message")
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} (which describes itself as "Message: New message")
I didn't find any that explictly called itself "New SMS".
So, if I set the first one's "Options key" to only show an icon and the second to noise/vibrate/etc, it seems that both SMS and e-mail use the first and ignore the second.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Michi
editing the notification registry is a bit different. The number value tells it whether to ring, vibrate, vib+ring, etc.
Whats wrong with going to start-settings-sounds & notifications and editing them there?
I did go there.... same story, I can't seem to differentiate between emails and SMS they seem to use the same setting. So I thought maybe there was a way to get there via the registry.

If you go into the settings>sounds&notification>notifications, then hit the drop down box for New Email Message and uncheck the box for play sound and uncheck the vibrate box as well and it will only show you the notification when the email comes in. Then you have seperate options for the new SMS as well.

[Q] Emojis on Facebook for Note 4

I tried hitting the 'Sym' button on the keyboard for the Emojis menu but it doesnt pop up for facebook. Anyone know how to access the emojis for Samsung Note 4 to use on facebook?
Press and hold the microphone button next to the sym button, then click the smiley face and they're in there..
Are you guys able t see emojis when they are sent from you in text messsages and if you send them can the recipient see them? Im having that problem and it is very frustrating because my friends with S5s can send and receive them with no issue. Thanks.

first time I sent a txt my on my note 4 with emoji in it, a popup came up and said something to the effect of "if you send this text message then the recipient wont be able to see emoji, if you want the recipient to see emoji send this message as __________ instead.."
I cant remember what the keyword was though (the __ blank)
of course there was a "don't show this message again" checkbox, but if you clicked "ok" then it would send and wouldn't necessarly show the emoji in recipients txt msg, however if I clicked the other button, it wasn't called "cancel", I forget, then it would change the send mode for text messages and send emoji's so the recipient could see them..
im sorry I so vague on all the specifics, but perhaps you are sending in the wrong 'mode'? maybe someone else with some more knowledge can chime in.
