Is there a way to find out from which number has an sms arrived, when more than one number is associated with the sender?

Nice question!
This happens because of microsoft: They do not understand that in other countries, unlike the United States, pepople have more that ONE mobile phone..
So they don't handle this situations.
I solve in a silly way.. But i don't have evidence that works: i simply replay to the sms.. And I see what number it uses for destination.
Ohh I see.
If it really uses the number in the reply which was used to send the sms, then it is a good workaround.
But we cannot be sure, can we?
Maybe someone has already made a simple app/plugin/whatever to find out the number or something?

I'm sorry.. I have no time to test.. I'm quite sure it works..
I don't know other way to know the number, I'm sorry.
As I sayd before: We need an help from microsoft..

It's no different from replying to an email when sender has more than one email address in your Contacts - your reply goes back to the address the sender used to send the original message. It's behaviour by design.
I was farting around the other day and came across an app that (if I recall correctly) does that. I am really sorry because I cannot remember the name of the program, but I will try to re-trace my farting around and if I come across it, I'll post back here.
Ok, thx!

Is there any way to have show/hide tags such as
Spoiler
text
, to have a block of text hidden until you click on it?
Relevant links:

http://www.creationlab.info/2008/09/creating-vbulletin-bb-codes-from-html/
I'd like something like this for my guide so it doesn't show all sections at once. That way the person can choose to show only the section they're working on.
Does this exist on these forums?
If not, can the site admin consider adding it?
Also, is there a way to "hack" this in via the [ HTML ] tags?
Not at the moment. Something like this maybe in vB4 when we upgrade.
Spoiler tags seems a bit hacky, the admin's might consider if there is something a bit more user friendly or fit for purpose.
Collapsing information seems the wrong way to do it. I think a navigation (contents page) that allows quick thread navigation without opening in a new window / tab would be better.
Dave
Doh, that's too bad.
I'm not sure what you mean by a contents page? Splitting up one post into several, may make things a bit more hectic?

Like the contents page on Media Wiki pages : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
In my experience, so long as the posts are sequential and the OP has the ingenuity to disable their sig until the last post, it's not too bad.
Dave
Ah I see.
What if you only have the first post in a thread?
It's too late for me

Post less? (j/k)
I was thinking about linking inside a thread. HTML allows Anchor / Name tags to do this. A way of building a contents page could be handy.
So the contents could have:
Post 1
- Part 1
- Part 2
Post 2
-Part 3
etc. etc.
It might just be a dream though : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2031310

I also think that this would be a good idea. For example, a rom developer could hide the changelog, todo list, Q&A, etc leaving the first post much less cluttered and simpler to navigate, but still displaying the same ammount of information. I know how to use anchors and links with HTML, but I don't really know if most people know all the code, and it would be more complicated. For example, just a single link to an anchor named banana would be Link to banana. It would be much simpler to just use a
Spoiler
tag.

Yes, another excellent idea!
A collapsible tag could be useful in so many situations!
Here's another possible use: signatures. Almost everyone has a list of the phones they have, current rom, radio, spl, recovery, mods, themes, etc. We could literally change 5-10 lines of text to a single "show" button on every single post on every forum. I have no idea how much work it would take to implement this, but it would really be a kickass idea.
Hi everyone,
i know this is a pretty old topic, but i wanted to know if it is meanwhile possible to build a "spoiler"?
i wanted to post a logcat-log but its like 100+ strings long so it would be pretty nice to make this information collapsable to keep threads clear.
thanks in advance

You could use a
Code:
box.
Sorry for also resurrecting an old thread but I too would love a collapsible tag.
As with the OP, I think it would be a real boon to writing guides.
I have a multi-part guide I'm working on/maintaining for the Arc but for each part of it, I'd love to be able to have it split into independently-expandable sections, it would make it so much easier to divide it up clearly and to hide necessary but lesser-used information.
spoiler tag in the forum
any progress on a collapsible tag?
Spoiler
at the end of 2011 ...
if it would work, you would not see this msg, unless you click on it

It is already, especially in some dev threads where people post full logcats
Also, in one thread, I had posted a complete diff between two kernel versions, so implementation if this in the app would also be awesome(although you'll have to talk to tapatalk guys, hope they understand)

You can either, create a referrals URL, so that you give this to your friends, and they join via the URL and you get a referral.
Or
When registering (I'm told) there is a field to enter the name of an existing member who referred you to this site.
Dave
I've wondered about that too.
Thanks for clearing it up.

You'd be surprised I tend to be less helpful when I try to be, so maybe I should just flame my way to the big 1000
PS: If you're not too busy, can you mention to the powers that be the idea of having your phone, ROM and radio in your username bar (the thing to the left of each post - don't know what it's called...). It was mentioned in this thread as it went a little off topic in the second page, but it seems to have fizzled out a bit.
I think it would be a very useful idea as a lot of support threads ask for such information and quite a lot of users would rather not keep it in their signatures. It also standardises the layout of such things so you can quickly check which phone/ROM/whatever the user is talking about.
I suppose the issues would arise when someone has more than two or three phones as it would make the posts longer, but even then it wouldn't get so bad until it hit around five devices, as it's just two or three lines for each one. Maybe a drop-down box could be used for the device and we could recommend only including primary devices in that, while keeping older ones for your signature only.

I could have sworn that at one point I'd been able to see who my referred sign-ups were, but I can't for the life of me find it now.
I've got 24, and although that's not a lot I'm a bit stumped as to how!
Is there a way to see who has signed up due to my referrals?

Old thread, but wanted to post the method for creating a referrals URL since Dave's link above did not work..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/register.php?referrerid=4238197 <- replace this number with your user ID number
To find your user ID number, click on your user name in the upper right hand corner and see the new URL change in your location bar. Here is mine. Note the u= on the end.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4238197
Referrals doesn't seem to do anything, but it is nice to know that I inspired someone to join up and hopefully contribute.
Hi all!
I already posted this question, but it was in the wrong section of this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983647
The problem I got is that all my capitals are converted to small letters in a thread i started. The strangest things is that the capitals in the start post aren't converted to small letter, only in the post after. It isn't that i can't type Capitals (I can, see: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
What I post: http://pastebin.com/5WZXKJWP

We have a "filter" that prevents all caps posting. It makes some posts easier to read, like ones going
"PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY PHOOOOOOOOONE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS ROOTED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW HLAP ME HLAP"
But it appears it is detecting the large number of capitals being used in a row, and is making them lowercase... I will have a play with your post and see if I can get it to override
Hope that explains it. It's an inconvenience in this case, but it is overall pretty handy in making posts readable from those who type using caps lock all the time

LOL, that explains a lot! Thanks for converting that post. But when I edit the post will I lose all my capitals again? If so, is there a possibility to uncheck this option for the first 6 posts on that thread? So I can edit those for in the future.

There's no way to override it manually, I'm afraid.
I think you can edit it fine though... It seems to count the number of caps, as if I added "NOTE" in caps, it would reduce it all to lowercase...
I would suggest using "Title Case" on the remaining ones, as that won't trip the "I CAN HASSSSSSSSSSSSS HALLLLP PLEEEEZ" detector
Resolved - Already implemented. Lock/ignore this thread
Any chance we could get a strikethrough feature in the forums here? The use is obvious but I will give an example anyway. I report a bug, that bug was added to a buglist in the original post but the software in regard is still pending a bugfix. Making this strikethrough makes it obvious for other users to ignore it, and editing the post by just deleting the text is a inconsistent in regards to completion and research. [EDIT] In other words, other readers will see that this matter has been reported and is being taken care of. Assuming the majority of our users are moderately intelligent, this could make the place a LOT cleaner. [/EDIT]
There's no need to add a button even, just for those "in the know" to use even with ... bbcode or add the <del>...</del> HTML tags to the forum software's allowed tags.
I understand that some forums do not like this feature but I can't remember why, I always found it very useful when editing my posts. It's a lot less annoying for other readers than to completely delete an entire paragraph of text. With that said, if there is a reason why this won't be implemented I will not press it any further.
Thanks!
