Saving mms

Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

I set a schedule in Titanium Backup Pro to save mine daily. Have backups set to the extsdcard.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....

SOLVED!!!! S3 Text Message Issues

So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however

Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

This happened to me. It was Google voice. It was weird but eventually fixed itself

Mod Request-Random SMS/MMS notifications= SOLVED

UPDATE:: Thanks to user shinkinrui who pointed an app in the PlayStore, this matter is solved. see post 4
I have been reading through the posts on XDA for quite some time and have taken advantage of the support and ideas posted within. However I don't post often. I have searched around and haven't found anything that touches on the subject, so here it goes.....
Is there a way to have random SMS/MMS alerts on an android device. More specifically, I want to have a folder or group of selected SMS/MMS alerts that would change randomly when an SMS/MMS is received? As an example, if I record my kid crying, laughing, saying different words or phrases and maybe my dog barking etc, could i assign it to a folder and have all the sounds in that folder play randomly as a notification?
It's not a must, but would be a cool feature/mod.......

Is this posted in the wrong place? If so, please move.... Thanks

I am trying this tonight

I tried this one also. This one allows for adding individual notifications to a preset location. Seems to work well

Messaging app on stock problems

Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.

You can push another secphone.apk to /system/app and it will work. Also have you tried to go into voicemail settings and manually input your voicemail number ?

Not sure on your carrier simple mobile but with at&t I used just my phone number without the 1. That ported rom might be using the Verizon SecPhone.apk and not the at&t version it needs.

Pretty sure if you open your phone dialer, hold down the menu key and you can go into your options.. In there, u can choose the number for your voicemail...simply input your number with area code and good to go!
Cheers!

Thank you guys so much!
voicemail problem is fixed no more problems!
i appreciate the help !
