Remove threaded messages

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?

Alerts for incoming e-mails - specific address

Hey...
I asked this question a while back in the PPC6700 forums when I had that device on WM5...never found an answer. I'm hoping something has changed in that time frame.
I want to be able to have audible alerts for incoming e-mail, but ONLY from specific senders. Using SMS is not an option.
So, for instance if I get an email from [email protected] it will ring an alarm (at 3am and wake me up) but if is an e-mail from anyone else it will stay silent.
Any way to do this, even if I have to purchase an additonal application?
thx!

I realize that its name, Photo Contacts Pro, is a bit misleading, but this is a very powerful/flexible program that will do exactly what you're looking for. Take a look at its incarnations at the vendor's website and decide for yourself -- there's alot there to read:

Thanks Mark,
Are you 100% sure that this application can do what I ask?
I looked on their website and their features list that you can assign distinctive Ring and SMS tones to different contacts. It doesn't mention anything about e-mail.
I would plan on using pocket outlook with push mail from an Exchange server...so I really think it would be the function of the mail client to differentiate one incoming e-mail from another. Maybe there is a more feature rich e-mail client that has this functionality?
If you have actually done what I have asked (distinctive alerts to specific EMAIL addresses), then I will download the demo and see what I can do...
thanks again!

Hate to disappoint but it will not do that. This software currently operates on incoming caller id (sms has that also) not email address. I did suggest the use of email to them in addition to sms so they may someday do some work on it but not now.
Although I don't currently know of anything that will do what you want (which doesn't mean it isn't available) you MAY be able to get around the limitation.
I would try having the exchange server fire out a short note or even a forward of the email to your phone's sms address. They all have the ability to get the email as sms albeit it would be chopped to 160 chars. Now, if you can identify the source of the incoming sms via caller id you can indeed use photocontacts by creating a special profile with silence being the default for all contacts except the exchange server forwards. This way the incoming sms will set off the alarm which will tell you to check your email.
Hey, better than nothing, no?

eh..yeah thanks NY... I was afraid of that answer.
What we did for our alerting system previously was have the alerts sent to the phone mail/SMS address and all other e-mails to our normal exchange. This way we would turn on SMS alerts and turn off e-mail. It does work, but not the ideal solution. It would be so simple to have this functionlity in pocket Outlook as a "rule" too bad they haven't gotten there yet!
thanks

having that kind of selection hasn't gotten that far yet, don't forget this is a pocket pc with phone capabilities

I'm aware of a couple of programs that will alert based on email sender, subject, etc. The first is Message Alerts, and the second is Watchflag. I've never used Watchflags before, but it looks pretty good. I used Message Alerts back when I had a RIM Blackberry. It worked perfectly.

Try also phoneAlarm V2.0 not 1.66 from http://www.pocketmax.net
This is a new option in V2.0

Beautiful guys thanks! All 3 look like they will do what i want (from description) I will try them out.
thanks again!

bengalih, thanks for the link. Question for you, did you ever try one of these programs? I guess my request is a little different than yours was in that I am not trying to notify by email address but simply by email account. So one notification for my Yahoo, another for my daughters and yet another for work. If one of these apps can accomplish this, then that would be great. Thanks again.

Email notification
This is only mildly related, but I want my new email notification to show the sender and/or subject line and not just "You have ## new email messages..."
I can't find any notification settings that would adjust this. Any suggestions?

How to re-enable Text Messages??

Hey guys,
my bad lemme clarify the situation:
I just got my tilt two days ago. I did a hard and soft reset to remove all the at&T bloatware. I installed textr for threaded text messaging, when i couldnt receive or send any messages I got frustrated and uninstalled it. I then installed VitoTechnologies's SMS Chat. Now I can send text messages out, but Im still having trouble receiving them. Also, before I did a hard & soft reset I was able to receive text messages in the default HTC messaging program. I also installed Kaiser Tweak and was playing around with it. If anyone has any insite into what I should do. Should I perhaps go to the at&t store and ask someone? im at a loss cuz im payin for unlimited text messages but I cant receive any, only send them out. ppl tell me they get my text messages, and when they send me texts i dont receive them now....HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Himalayasplaya

i think it may have something to do with comm manager?? again im a total newbie to this please help me connect the dots.

Disabled in the sense, can you get into inbox atleast? You need to specify us more details like what exactly you get or where you get stuck actually, or what happens when you try sending a message.
Regards,
Carty..

i dunno wut was happening cuz i could receive non-verizon texts, but verizon texts didnt come thru. I think it was cuz i installed a cracked version of textr.. i just uninstalled it and installed sms threader and i can receive everything now. does anyone know a better texting program that implements threads and ez use of smileys?

Urgent help needed!! should i just do another hard reset, followed by a soft reset and just reinstall the apps and settings? I'm not trynna void my warranty by flashing my rom.

If you can't wait for someone to come with an idea, then yes, hard-reset is the way to go. And don't install bogus SMS handling programs next time

app to send and recieve txt through pc ?

Hi
Is there an app that allows you to send and recieve txtx from the G1 through the PC ?. I have a nokia and use pc suit to send and recieve txt through pc at work. Just wanted to know if you can do something the same on G1/Android ?

Google Voice. Get an invite, setup a new number, and send text messages through "voice.google.com" with that new number.

just use an email address?? I send/recieve texts from the wifey all the time from exchange. although it would be awesome if there was a program to redirect all incoming texts to an email address so if someone were trying to get ahold of me, i'd know now and not 8 to 16 hours later. (prisons don't allow cell phones.)

I thought about posting this earlier.... there's a huge downfall to it: getting people to actually text that new number.

I could see the difficulty in that lol.
Although, what I did was go to "contacts.google.com" and create a group of all the people I text on a regular basis. Downloaded "Contacts GroupU" from the market, then re-sync'd my contacts. Opened up Contacts GroupU, long pressed the group name and selected "Send SMS." Finally, notified them of the new number.

[Q] Regarding text messages

Hi guys. This may sound prepostorous somehow lol. I am already diverting my voice calls from my s3 to another android device and now i would like to divert my sms messages also.
I've been reading a few things and i keep getting something about a gateway being needed or something along those lines. I understand ( i think ) the function of the gateway, but is there another way around them? Is there a way of diverting text messages from one android device to another without downloading free apps that don't work anyway or expencive apps that give you phone rage?
Oh, and i already know that text messages can be diverted to email addresses but it really would be neat is one can divert their sms messages from one android to another.
