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?
Hi all,
Anyone know if there is anyway to get text messages delivered to different folders dependant upon who they are coming from.
This would be really usefull to organise my messages as I would instantly know where to look for a text was from a specific person.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
Many thanks
Jon
come on guys any thoughts?

Just use threaded messaging in default Windows sms app. Works for me.
Is it safe to say that FroYo's built-in SMS capabilities don't allow you to send an SMS to multiple people at the same time? I was able to do this in 2.1, but maybe that was just due to HTC's implementation of SMS, I'm not sure.
I'd hate to have to get an APP for this, but if I do is there anything you guys recommend?
Thanks!
I've sent to multiple people
type in the first number than a comma then second number
try that...

When you start a new message, select the "send to" area, and add your first contact. Select the send to area again, and add additional contacts...
Awesome thanks! I started playing with it some more and figured out what you guys had just confirmed
I guess I felt they could make it a bit easier, haha. After adding the first contact, I put my cursor after the comma that was added and had to two at least 2 more characters for my contact list to pop up again.
Maybe I'm just being picky xD
Anyway, thanks for the help! ^_^
What are you using for FACETIME on your Note 3?
Did searches and not finding many good results such as Google Hangout. Many user say Google Hangout very poor and not a good substitute.
Any suggestions?

There is no Facetime client for Android, so your question is pretty much moot.
If you mean video chat, Google Hangouts works great for me.
I use Skype also.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I mean video chat. With Skype the receiver must use Skype, too. If not, there is a charge (?) for using Skype without receiver using Skype.
Tried Google Hangouts and immediately I get unsolicited messages from people I don't know?
I always leave my chat clients offline. I only turn them on if I know I'm going to video chat with someone.
Skype is free for both parties if you both use the client and have Skype accounts.
Unfortunately there's no way to block unsolicited requests in Hangouts. I just add unknown people to my block list if they try and message me while I am online.
Tango is good too

raw2000j: Tango? I cannot find a place/menu/settings to disable INVITE?
Is there an option to identify FAVORITES rather than FRIENDS? With FRIENDS you see all of your contacts.
Great apk so far. Thanks again!!
I use Chaton video chat with my family and it works great for me and my family

I'm definitely not saying that Hangouts is perfect or anything, but I've never got any unsolicited messages so you might want to check your privacy settings.

for video chat Hangouts is perfect, the reason you are getting unsolicited chats is because your gmail address was leaked to bots from craigslist, dirty sites etc and you accepted them into your friends. delete them and you'll be fine.

Thanks for your response. Never share my gmail address and never been on craiglist or dirty sites. When you say delete them, what are you referring too? All my gmail address are valid and clean. Don't have any addresses in my gmail that I do not know.

When you log into gmail, the solicitation contacts should show up on your chat list on the bottom left, you can block them from there.

When I go there to Chat List there is nothing in there? So, I have not solicitation contacts. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again for trying to help.
In that case, from your phone Hangouts, go to the unwanted person's message - then hit the menu button and click People & Options > Block XXXX XXXXX person
if you continue to get new messages from random strangers all the time then maybe it might be time to consider getting another gmail account and giving this one only to friends / family members
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I think I will stay with Tango for now as it is working fine for me. The only shortcomings are:
1. I cannot find a place/menu/settings to disable INVITE?
2. Is there an option to identify FAVORITES rather than FRIENDS? With FRIENDS you see all of your contacts.
Great apk so far. Thanks again!!

Facetime is an Apple product.
Skype is owned by Microsoft.
tango, skype, ovoo, or use chaton which come with all samsung phones now
Is anyone else having an issue with the quick reply? When I receive a group text and I reply via quick reply it goes to that persons thread and not the group [emoji17]
So I guess I'm the only person with this issue? ? it stinks because I like the default message app now that quick reply is available

I don't use stock message app. So I could not tell you if it happens to me.
I use 8sms. It has worked flawlessly for me for groups and any texting. It also supports group texting and a bunch of other cool features.

My stock messaging app works fine when I create or reply to group texts.
Thanks everyone. I'll try clearing the cache to see if that helps
