Can anyone tell me how i could add another folder to store text messages in? I try to save them in the outbox but it just tries to send them to people over and over again...
Thanks
Press the messaging button (the envelope one), select SMS/MMS from the list and you'll be in your Inbox. Next, select Menu | Tools | Manage Folders and you'll see the current list of SMS/MMS folders. Tap and hold on SMS/MMS and the pop-up menu will allow you to create a "New Folder"; this will be a top-level folder - call it whatever you want (Saved Messages, or Archive or Funny Stuff ) and hit OK....your new folder will then be shown in the list. It's not advisable to create sub-folders of existing folders (e.g. sub-folder of Inbox) as it can cause problems with certain messaging backup tools......the decision is yours
Now, when you get a message you want to keep, when you have the message open (or from the Inbox screen), select Menu | Move and then tape on your new folder - the message will be saved to there.
Hope that helps,
Mark.
Thanks... I've been trying forever. You're the best.
Is there a way to do this in WM 6.1?

I have been using a program that allows you quickly to jump to a new SMS message in Messaging. I would like to assign this as an action to a button. Is there a link that can be created that automatically goes into Messaging and creates a new message?
Have you tried a search?
google > HTCActionScreen
I have no idea were I found this, but I have a direct link to 'New SMS'.
Paste this shortcut in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" (or a subfolder if you want)
Go to Settings => Buttons and map your button.
Note: Schap's Advanced Configuration v1.1 installs a folder with a few usefull shortcuts, including 'New SMS'.
Good luck!
Works perfectly. Great tool. Just what the Doctor ordered.
Alright.. i m a noobie, so be gentle...
MY question is how to delete all the messages in "Deleted" folder all at once...
I normally keep my sent and deleted messages folders clean.
Now i find it extremely slow to delete all messages one at a time....i am sure there must be "Delete All" option somewhere..
Cheers.
hello we are all new once!
Go to your deleted items folder, Menu > Tools > Empty Deleted Items.
Or you can use the Clear Text Messages option, but that will remove your inbox also.
You probably have to highlight all messages (scroll down with the stylus) and delete them, then do the above.
Thanks
how to delete
there is your answer
Thanks a lot flashy....i love this forum.
Anyone knows how do i add multiple contacts in one go to a particular message
i.e. check recipients names and add them without pressing enter again and again
its really irritating to add 27 recipients
if you are sending to the same group of persons you can try this...
#click on the To: field, click menu (bottom right) and select Add Recipient...
#Contacts will open, select the person by clicking on it. it is added and you are back in the sms compose window. click Menu and add again all the recipients one by one like the steps above.
#once you are done adding all required contacts, click and hold inside the To: field and select Select All. all contacts are selected and highligted.
#click and hold again inside To: field and select Copy
#open Pocket Word or Notes, paste it and save the file.
#next time when you want to send a group message again, open the Word or Notes file we created, copy everything and close the file.
#compose you message, tap and hold inside the To: field and click on Paste. all your contacts should now be added at one go.
you can also try searching for third party contacts manager which allow creating a group and sending a message to that group in one go.
hope that this help.
Thank you very much

Sorry for this basis request - but how do I cut and paste text from a website/doco/email etc etc and paste them between SMS and emails etc?
Have read the manual and tried touch and hold, drag to highlight etc and nothing seems to work
Thanks
Google search found this:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...+copy+paste+Galaxy+S&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au
But it only applies to copying text from a webpage - nothing about copying from one email/SMS to another??
Surely it must be possible - iPhones can do it dammit
I don't see any select text feature on the built in email & gmail app.. but for SMS, there is a "Copy Text" feature and if you want to select a text, forward the message first then "Select Text".
cut /paste from other sources, for example a browser , is being added in android 2.2 . thts so far what i know
I got Froyo on the SGS, so I've no idea what here is new and what was already there on 2.1.
1) Browser - long touch anywhere on the page opens a small box that you can drag to surround what you need, and then you got copy/share/search.
2) SMS - inside a message - menu > 'copy message text'.
3) GMAIL app - inside a mail - Menu > more > select text. You drag to select and it's copied to the clipboard (no share/search/etc, only directly copying to clipboard).
4) A long touch on any input box brings up a select/copy/paste/cut/etc context menu.
I'm still trying to find a way to copy/paste from a gmail chat...
Hi,
In messaging app I see list of sms received. From the initial list details I can figure out that few messages are not useful to read. How can I multiple select them and then delete them.
Currently I go to each message, have to select it and it bring up entire message and then from menu I choose delete thread.
Like in PC we would do CTRL and SHIFT to select multiple messages cannot we do that. Also if just one message of the list can we delete it from initial list itself.
Regards,
