Is there a way to show the number of typed characters when typing a text message with the latest official ROM? I used to have a counter showing the number of characters typed and the number of messages that had to be sent.
I'm unable to find a few customization options here (and if possible I do not want to use a 3rd party app).
Should be at the top of the page when entering your new text. Its always been there as standard with the threaded SMS app
yeah it's where start normally is
It happens when replying to an sms (then threaded sms start).
When I start a new sms from scrap, then I've got the counter as before.
Any way to disable the threaded mode?
I found the character counter.
I'm using WkTask as a taskmanager, which puts all active programs in the taskbar (just like normal Windows behavior). And in that area of the sms application on the taskbar, it puts its character counter.
It was there already, but I just missed it I guess
I've just updated mine, and I've noticed the same. The character counter is present when I create a new message. It's not there when I reply in conversation mode.
Anyone know how to turn it on?

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?
hi guys
is there a way to keep more than 25 SMS messages ? it appears that the phone always deletes the oldest one and only keeps 25 SMS messages ... I'd like to keep all of them ...
any tweaks to fix that ?
cheers
Are you sure they are deleted?
When I go into messages and select all messages, then select a person/conversation, if I scroll to the top there is another link saying 'older' and the previous messages are there.
wierd.... they are in "older" section ... why does it then show only 25 ? to preserve memory ?
I think I understand your comment:
in the SMS tab just 25 messages can be displayed
(Also) in the emails tab it only shows a maximum of 99 emails
to veiw any more you have to click "all message" and you get the standard WM6.1 message indox, sent, drafts etc...
Maybe its just a built in limmitation of Manilla as all your messages are still there its just they are not shown in the TouchFlo application?
It's in a conversation style ... Threaded.
If you want all to sms's to appear, like in your PREVIOUS PHONES (perhaps), you can remove the threaded style of sms's and they will no longer appear as conversations, and you will not have OLDER mentioned anywher
hope this helps
To disable Threaded view, there is a registry entry you will have to CREATE
In your registry editor - go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM
Create Regitry entry
SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
Set Value to 1
Restart the phone
That's it.
The sms tab still shows only 25 elements, also if in "all" there's no more the "older" thread... No solution for this?
hi solved your problem?
Ive got the same problem...
Is it in WM6.5 you're talking about? Whose ROM are you using? I always get to display more than 25 SMS or 1000s of emails too.

Carty..
Can anybody tell me what program I can use for my text messaging notification? The problem I have is that when I read the text message, it still shows as new. Meaning I have to go in to the inbox and highlight the actual message to get that number off my text icon.
I've found it here a long time ago, but I couldn't find it. And I did search but all I kept getting were post about disabling the sent text notification.
thanks.
i think you may be talking about kaiser tweak. you can do a search to find it because that thread is buried somewhere
I think he may be talking about threaded SMS not setting the text to "Read" when you enter threaded SMS.
I noticed this a little while back. I've just kind of gotten used to it. If I receive a new text message, I'll open it in threaded SMS. it won't be set to "Unread" until I exit threaded sms by pressing "OK"
Yes, you can all laugh at me...
I seem to have installed an sms app, which gives me a pop up window, when a new sms arrives.
I have disabled notify in stock messaging app and in chompsms. Handcent is activated but this gives me another pop up.
The unwelcome sms pop up is a grey square with white outline. It has 3 white buttons at the bottom with "Auto response with busy message", "Reply" and "Dismiss". It shows the message and the sender with a small picture above the buttons.
Please help me to identify the app, I want to uninstall it.
i may be wrong, but i think SMS morse does this as one of its options, try checking for that
thanks, but i never installed this one. It has to be something I installed, maybe backed up and now it stays as a residue, I can't see in the installed apps.
You may have SMS Popup installed, this what I have and it works the way you have described it
It is Contact Blast
I'm fairly certain it's the sms popup as said above. It's a feature in handcent. Go to options in Handcent and disable the popup.
Hi good people,
I'm looking for an application that will allow me to hide some sms so that they dont appear on my recieved or sent sms list . I'm using X1 and I have googled and searched but could not find anything.
And dont blast me asking why I need such an application it just is something a guy needs to have, just in case.
Anyone has an idea?
Seriously, please help
You could try posting in the Q&A section.
EasyHelper SMS Security can hide the secret/important SMS messages (including incoming SMS messages and existed SMS messages in Inbox). The hidden SMS messages are encrypted and stored separately. Only you can see it with a correct password.
At the same time, it can aslo effectively block spam SMS messages without producing any sound or light indication.
Thanks

Thanks alot man. I found it. It looks promising, unfortunately it doesnt seem to work on my Firestorm 3.5 ROM...could it be that its designed for WM 6 and not 6.5? It installs and loads ok but when it comes to setting up the options the screen refuses to work, I get all the writing on the screen overlapping each other making it impossible to read anything.
