Looking for a way to make incoming sms popup on screen at arrival

Hi guys,
I had an app on my blackstone some time ago that made an incoming sms messages popup at the bottom of the screen in a small window without me having to start the message app. I did a hard reset my phone today and are desperate to get this app back. I have searched this forum but I can't find the app anymore. Could someone please help me.
Thanks!

start->settings->sound & notifications->notifications->Event (select Messaging: New text message)->tick "Display message on screen"->click OK

Thanks a lot! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

no problem! i won't deduct any points for NOT knowing some pretty basic stuff (like displaying SMS on screen).!!! just kidding!! have a great day/evening!

don't know if it's ROM related or not, but when I was using Diamond, I could reply or delete sms that popped out. But now, I can only hide them. What's up with this?

How to delete default words in swype dictionary?

I have words that are already in my dictionary that are misspelled, like tyo, di, sti, and many others. Is there any way I can remove all of these rather than remove them individually?

I wish I knew how!! Mine is the same way and it is very annoying. I will be watching this thread for more info

To delete a word, highlight it [long press, select text, highlight the word] then push the swype icon in the lower left corner [the little i thing] then it should ask to confirm deletetion, select yes.

Yea used to have the same issue before I did this,
Once you have the word entered into the text box you want to have deleted from the dictionary, Highlight the entire word and then press the Swype key (bottom left key), it will then ask you if you want it to be deleted from dictionary.

Our responses were eerily similar.

I hate having to select these words click a button and remove the entry...I wish we could get a way to delete from a db or a list.

The OP asked how to delete all custom words at once, instead of individually.

Well to you and the OP, you can't do so. [as far as I know, but I don't think there is a way]

I believe this would also erase your Swype settings, (just write them down before continuing, there are only a couple). Try going into "Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All " Now find Swype in the list and press the "Clear Data" button.
I haven't tried this myself, but I see no reason it shouldn't work to delete ALL of the custom words (and settings, so be sure to make a note of them.)
Hopefully someone tries this and lets the rest of us know if it works or not. I'd try it myself but I'm not yet at the point where my dictionary is a total mess.

Well going off that note, if you clear the cache data, I believe it would delete everything. I'll give it a try.

Well, there is indeed an option to clear the cache for the app but I was referring to the "Clear Data" option.
I don't think the "Clear cache" button would delete the user directory but it might.
Just wanted to make sure others were aware that these are two different buttons we're talking about here.
Cheers....

Just an update, neither deleted the words from the dictionary.

So i just cleared my swype and now i have to go back and put all the words in one at a time now. Dont do it. Its easier to just use the stupid sype words and retype them

At worst you can uninstall it and reinstall it. I think the data should be gone. If only there was a way to change the default words... I hated the way Swype worked so I just use FlexT9, but that one has NO way to delete single words and whatnot as far as I can tell, I just prefer it.
I have no idea why the GB keyboard doesn't have swyping. Whatever did happen to blindtype lol?

What I do from time to time is clear the data on swype.
End of line.

[Q] Facebook photo upload not working

Uploading photos to facebook does not work for me.
The behavior is the same both when selecting photo upload from the facebook app, or when chosing to share to facebook from the gallery.
The upload progress in statusbar looks good and finishes, but then an error message is displayed in the statusbar that the transfer failed.
When initiating the upload from facebook a "popup" mesage that the photo could not be added is also displayed.
I tried wipe facebook cache and data and reinstall the app but that didn't solve anything.
I'm on AOKP build25 & franco kernel 18.6.
Anyone else with the same problem?

I have the same problem, haven't found a way to fix it though... I'm running pure stock.

Ok, so at least I'm not alone....
Good to know that the problem exist also on stock. I wasn't sure if I ever tested it before I flashed a custom rom.

Did you try clearing the app's cache? Logging back in and trying to upload a pic again?

Yes, I wiped cache and data and even reinstalled the app.

Facebook's app is the worst written in Android history. It isn't your fault- they just can't write an update without breaking something. It's a known issue.

Possible solution
It's maybe a little late to offer a solution, but today I finally found out what could be the problem:
I normally share my pictures with "All friends, except ... " (please excuse wrong translation; don't know how it's called in English) and all my picture uploads failed without exception. Today I wanted to share a picture with "All" my friends and... it work perfectly! I tried some more and it seems my problems are gone.
So my possible solution:
-> You have to share with "all", not with some groups or with excluded people. The Facebook App and mobile site is too stupid to work with its own lists.
When creating a new post, just tap the little gear in the lower right corner and select share with "all". It's no solution for pics you don't want to show everyone of course, but it's the only workaround that allows you to upload at all.

After trying a couple things, such as clearing the app data/cache, reinstalling the app from the market, etc. I suspect that this is related more to the APN settings on the phone. I tested this by switching the APN on my AT&T Galaxy Nexus from the Tweakker APN settings (failed to upload pics/videos) to the original CINGULAR 410 (works like a charm, although it takes forever to upload). For reference, the Tweakker settings had the APN as "phone".
Hope this helps.

So, did you read my post above? I'm almost sure it makes all the difference. Tested this with a couple of friends and it works for everyone.

it is enough to only have one list of selfmade friend list. U do not have to share to "all" but u can make list of friends that can see your pictures, call it for example "see mypic friends" and only have that in the . But if u share it to: "see mypic friends" and "mom and dad" at the same it fails

[Q] Syncing bookmarks with default browser

Hi Guys,*
I have run into a problem and cant seem to find any solution. When I initially bought my phone and synced it with my google account, the default S3 browser had all the links from my desktop browser. One was the LOCAL section that had the bookmarks stored in the phone and then there was another section with my email that had the desktop ones.
However recently, the section with my email has disappeared and I cant find a way to get it back. I think I have tried everything so really looking forward to some help. Ideally i would like to avoid using a 3rd party app since it used to work before.
Any Ideas ??*
Thanks Everyone !!

Fairly simple I hope.
Go to your phone:
1. Hit Menu Button (Bottom Left) > Settings
2. Device > Application Manager
3. All > Scroll Down To Internet
4. Then, Clear Cache > And Then Clear Data
5. Now Go Back To Settings > Personal > Accounts And Sync
6. Open The Google Account > Remove Account
7. Then Go Back To The Google Account > Add Account
8. Wait Till It Is Synced > Restart Phone
9. And Walla, When You Open Your Browser, The Bookmarks Should Sync!
Regards,
ab

Thanks for the reply AB!!!.
Worked like a charm. Had to do it twice but the trick was not to open the browser before the restart. Now I've got the synced bookmarks.
Any idea why this happens though ??
Cheers

Not sure. It happened to me only once. Shouldn't happen again.
But if it does, you now know what to do!

Need a Help.plz read inside.

5 days ago I used this software "Advanced Mobile Care". In the 'Junk file' section there is a sub-section named 'sms log' showing 135 log. I have over 1000 sms that’s why I thought it would be junk file (135 log) and I marked that item and press clear after that I discovered that I don't have any sms left in my inbox!
I want my sms back badly because it's very important for me.
Is there anyway to recover my sms?
I also seek support from Advanced System Care forum but they didn't replied.
Please help me.
