Hi guys

That only prevents user from accidently deleting the message.......
is there a way to lock the entire message inbox folder
I don't understand what you mean

he means password protection I think...
What I mean is that I want to be the only one who is able to view the sms that people have sent to me and only one who can view the messages that I have sent to people I guess some sort of password protection would do the trick

I know the way to lock entire message option. Just use app lock application, this will do the trick.

if using handcent sms, there is a lockable privacy box. i haven't used it so far, but it's an option. i don't see a similar option in the native sms app.

Right now this has really pee'd me off. I've gone to send a text message to my Dad, but I can't because the "phone memory is full", WTF ! Thank god it weren't important. BTW apparently I'm at 6mb so I don't understand how one small (KB?) message is gunna make a difference.
So I was wondering if a hard reset is worth a try? I'd like to know if it will actually free up any memory. I think I heard of people doing this and it has, is this correct? Also, will it remember all of the apps I've downloaded through the market? Also, any info on HTC backup software would be awesome help, but dw if not I'm sure there are loads of threads about that anyway.
Many thanks in advance!
A hard reset will basically give you the default clean ROM that you have installed.
Does your phone not have to many SMS's saved?

Is there anyway I can find out how many I have?
Well I'm looking at my Froyo messaging settings here and I can see an option saying that it's limiting the messages in a conversation to 200 and 20 mms messages per conversation.
Not sure about the stock SenseUI ROM though.

Yeah mine says that as well but that doesn't show how many, and I'd rather it didn't just delete any message
Mine shows a number next to the conversation stating how many messages there are.

Thanks but I've already tried that they all of them are usinghardly any cache.
Can any one else answer my original question?
Thanks

You should be able to see the number of messages per conversation, that has been a standard thing for Sense as far as I can remember. If you really want to keep a hold of your text message try an sms back up program. I use one that backs everything to Gmail for me so it doesn't really matter if it getsdeleted.

That sounds like an awesome idea, what's the app called?

It's not an app that you're downloading, the message per conversation counter is a default feature on Sense. Next to each contact that you send messages to, you should see a number in brackets next to them. I'm really not sure if you know what we're all talking about or we may not be understanding what you are after but I'd suggest give us a rundown on your software version and whether for not you have a carrier phone and maybe a screen shot of your messaging inbox.

Hi,
Ever since I started using one x I have been receiving popup like sms messages. My previous phone was not a smart phone and I was not.receiving these. Please refer this image http://db.tt/l3PuMAd3
Is there a way I can disable them from phone itself?

Are you using the stock HTC messaging app? If not, that could be the source. Also, have you installed any apps that have ads? That could also cause your popups.

I am using stock messaging app. I have a bunch of apps installed, but how can I know which one is the culprit.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
It's not something to do with your carrier is it? For example, with Vodafone you can get stuff text daily from them. In the app draw there's a Vodafone one that I can select news, weather, jokes, horoscopes etc.
Thats an alert message. I stumbled across how to make that happen on any phone a while ago.
When you send a text message put !! As the first two characters. It then by passes all app settings and pops up.
Never posted as it would be abused.......

On my ol' HTC TP2, the text messages showed the time when they were sent and when they were received. Any android app that does a similar job?

i use handcent and you can longpress the message you sent and click on message details. it shows the date and time...not sure about the received times
Stock does.
GoSMS does as well. I like it because it also has a built in backup/restore function so when I see a new ROM in the Dev section and the flash-aholic in me makes me download and try it I have an easy way to put back the SMS messages which are otherwise lost in the flashing process...
Thanks for replying. I am using GoSMS and I can find out when a message was sent. This should an option you can turn on to display permanently. Stock doesn't seem to do it, unless I am not seeing an option somewhere.

There does not seem to be an option to assign messaging tones for individual contacts? Or am I just blind?

I'm not using a 10 yet, but isn't an option available inside the contact itself?

Ups... sorry, I misread what you said before...
I never saw that kind of option on a HTC, don't think it's possible with stock apps, but I might be wrong
Correct, HTC phones don't have this option. Which has always puzzled/frustrated me over the years.
I ended up switching to Textra as my texting app. Great customization and performance, including the ability to set individual ringtones for people.

This is only when sending a text message, otherwise they don't show up at all.

They are contacts stored in sim card, go to People and tap Phoebook, then tick SIM.
