I was wondering if there is a setting to show the previous replies in an sms message. it seems like on the blackberry pearl when you texted back and forth it would just update the thread. now when i am replying to a text there is no previous message showing and you have to cancel back out to re-read it. Any way around this?
Have a look at the excellent PocketCM . It is a brilliant contacts manager and it also does threaded SMS. It is very finger/thumb friendly as is the PCM keyboard available from the same site. The author is active on these boards.
I was going to suggest PocketCM as well. Yes the Kaiser has touchflo and you can scroll your contacts without pocketcm but pocketpc actually scrolls your contacts at a different speed based on how fast you flick your finger and I have really loved how the contact detail page shows up and the threaded sms view. I would try pocketcm for sure.

On my old WM5 devices, text messages showed in a threaded conversation view, like what you see here:
http://www.mykesoft.com/textr/details.php
but in WM6, on my kaiser with duttys each text message takes up a whole line, I can not find a way to view text messages like an IM conversation. Anyone know of a good one?
The one I provided a link to does not install on a duttys flashed ROM.
Any advice helpful~!
I don't have links on hand, but I do know that there are a few threads already about this very topic. You might try searching to see what you can find.
Personally I have tried PocketCM, and liked the concept, but didn't like the speed of the contact lookup... especially compared to FFF.

very similar to the textr link, but doesn't have the contact pics on the side.
i use the palm one and can't use sms without it. If you don't care about loosing your mms then install the palm one, its freaking awesome. I wish someone would fix the mms portion so that it worked again, but for some reason it just stopped working on the kaiser.
I used Extreme Text, it works great, I really like how simple it is, but its not freeware, but its not ridicously price.
Hello, I'm a newbie here. I have a ATT Tilt. I love the phone. However I hate the threaded messages. Whenever I receive a new text, the message contents are displayed on the screen. Some of my messages are private, and if some is using my phone or I am showing someone something, they can read my message. Is there anyway to remove this?
Please help
Thanks
threaded? - that's not threaded, threaded sms is where multiple sms messages are grouped together. What you are talking about is just a notification. Go into sound settings and turn off the "display message on screen" for New SMS messages
Thanks!
... so how exactly does threaded sms work
DELETED - double post
I guess the easiest comparison would be "gmail". Have you ever seen how gmail displays email messages? It basically threads all related messages together. Since text messages don't really keep a history of the current conversation, threaded text messages allow the user to see the history of the conversation all threaded together. Take a look a gmail account and it will make total sense. The Palm devices that run WM had a thread sms application but regular WM devices lilke the Tilt don't have it by default.
I was just thinking of that. So its similar to Gmail conversations... Is it based on Ajax technology as well?......Is it auto enabled, or do I have to enable it?
Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

When I open an SMS by touching the message on TF3D it opens another dialog than from the SMS inbox. I prefer the thread dialog from SMS inbox. Is there a possibility to tweak TF3D to uses this application?
Your question is a bit unclear. On my Topaz the threaded inbox is being used by default when thicking a message from the TF3D inbox.
Yes, you are right but try the following
- from TF3D open the SMS inbox (you will see the list of all recieved SMS)
- click on an SMS
Also a thread presentation will be shown but different from the one out of TF3D.
I assume from inbox it uses the WM email application. For example now you can use the pre-prepared short texts as within the email function.
Is it understandable what I mean?
the 1 from the TF3D sucks. lets say you're text'ing & accidentally close the SMS, your SMS wont be saved automatically in the draft folder.
Personally, I ditched the TF3D after a week of having it. it looks nice, but quite redundant for what I need.
I am currently running TPC's stock like 6.5 ROM. I love that it is light and fast. The only problem that I have is with TXT messaging. I don't have M2D, just a shortcut on the today screen
There are two many steps needed to send a message. I have a shortcut to open messages, then I need to select the SMS/MMS over email account, then I need to select the conversation I want then type message. This is not bad and I know it probably can't be shortened by but only a step.
Pictures are a whole new story. I have to open messaging, select SMS/MMS, go to menu/new MMS, then add the picture, then add recipient, then send. This is because the option to add picture in the threaded conversation is grayed out.
Oddly my wife has an Palm Treo 680. I don't like the phone but it is awesome for texting. Is there any software out there that is better for texting? I ahve searched for hours, and all I get is old programs that thread the messaging before WM6 I am going to start my trial and error with ROMS, but if anyone can point me in a direction for software because I like TPC's ROM, everything else seems to work so well.
I have found this program:
Treo 800w Threaded SMS GMS Beta
I will see how it works.
Edit: I didn't work
