How to change 'use GSM alphabet' in SMS app - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi.
I have a mi5s, 3/64 running EU rom 7.3.30.
When sending Hebrew letters using the native sms app, the other side receives them as blank spaces. I googled this and saw I should try to disable the 'use GSM alphabet' in the sms settings, but can't find any place where I can access the sms app settings...
For now I'm using a different sms app, but would like this fixed.

Anyone?

app wanted for sent messages

can anyone recommend an app that i can use to send text messages from an touch hd that has the capabilities of saving sent messages ?
cheers
Your phone is already able to do this by default.
Open Messaging (texts or email doesnt matter)
Hit right soft key - Menu
Go to Tools - Then Options
Hit the message tab at the bottom
Enable Keep Copies of Sent Items in Sent Folder

Pretty much any 3rd party app will do this (along with the stock winmo).
I use Vito SMS Chat for my sms. It also has the capability to backup you texts to your SD card!

Notifications

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

OK, got ChompSMS and now can uninstall SMSPopup as Chomp pretty much does the same thing. Great app.

GO SMS Issue

Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.

disable factory messaging app?

is there a way to disable the factory messaging app?
i'm using Go SMS Pro.
when one person sends me a text with an emojicon, the default app indicates i have new message.
There is no option in android to disable this, I use Handcent SMS and there is an option within the app to disable the default messaging notifications. I would think there would be a simliar option in SMS Pro but can't say for sure as i have never used it.
Good point, I'll dig into the settings.
Why not just hide the icon in the app drawer by pressing menu then hide app. Ive never disabled the messaging app before but i could picture it making you unable to recieve messages.

Or just disable notifications on the stock app.

I'll try disabling notifications in the stock app.

Came here to say exactly this. You will have no adverse effects. I rocked GoSMS (which is good for group sms, popups, and mms but terrible otherwise) for 4 months with messaging disabled in the app manager. It will go to the bottom and never make another peep until you re enable. If you uninstall go or other sms apps you will not get messages though.

There is some bug sometimes when you dissable stock messenger. I notice after you update 3rd party messanger like GOSMS you not gona receive mms antill you enable stock. Then you need to clear all cache and defults on stock and 3rd party then choose defult messanger and dissable stock.

If you want to totally disable the app. I used TitaniumBackup to freeze it. Ultimately, I ended up uninstalling it all together, because I was getting a weird notification with every text I would receive and started using GO SMS, but I hated it, so I reinstalled the messaging app and haven't looked back. To my knowledge, that's the only way to actually "disable" it. Otherwise, turning off the notifications and hiding the app should serve you well.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Messaging Signature Option?

So I got Cyanogenmod 10 the other day, and well I had to add all my contacts back, thankfully I still have my old phone. Well any ways, I tried to get my ol' signature, it's even my middle name on Facebook. It's well my signature thing, dude! I couldn't find an option in the settings. Call me crazier than a crayola 64 pack, because I cannot find it.
Settings MMS settings > text signature settings

By the first settings do you mean system settings, or messaging settings, either way I can't find MMS settings.

You may be better off using a third party SMS application, such as Go SMS Pro. Also, there is a stable version of CM10.1 that has been released. You may want to upgrade to that.
