Galaxy S Deleting Messages - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I send a text, or receive one, it will delete the last sent/received from that contact. For example:
I send Alex a text, it deletes the last message I sent to her
I receive a text from Alex, it deletes the last message I received from her
This keeps happening, and is becoming quite annoying now. I will only ever have one sent or received message in my inbox from a given contact at any given time, and I like to save my messages.
Any ideas without a hard reset/flash?
Thanks

Hmmm, strange have you unticked delete old messages in text options? Are your using standard text app or downloaded one?

In your messages go to options and check if "delete old messages" in active.

WM 6.1 and group (multiple recipient) txt msg burden

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

SMS Problem with Korean unit

I bought my Galaxy S the other day:
Model # SHW-M110S
It's a Korean Anycall original unit, it's open-line...I had no problems with calling and receiving calls and receiving SMS...but then i wasn't able to send messages, a "invalid sender" error appears everytime i try to send sms. Then I found a way how to send, it was Messages>compose messsage>left main key>Change sender...then put my number as "FROM" to the message before sending. I have to do this everytime I send SMS which is a hassle, i was wondering why do i have to this all the time? Isn't it already automatic that sending messages with the default number of my Sim Card? And another thing, I can only send up to 80 bytes of text, after that, it automatically changes to a MMS....is it really that short? Or can I extend the text messaging without automatically making it to an MMS messsage like any other phones....Please help me with this technical thing...it would be a great help...ThaNX!
Have you tried the app handcent from the market? It might be helpful.

[Q] sony xperia tl message settings?

Hey all! I recently got my new Xperia tl from att. One thing I have yet to find is a message limit to convert SMS messages to mms messages. All of my other phones I've owned would either automatically change SMS messages to mms messages after say like 5 pages were written, or you could select the type of message. The reason why I ask is when a message is like 5 pages long the person in talking to usually gets 5 messages but they almost never come in the right order so its like trying To put a puzzle of messages together! Haha. So is there any way to set a limit to.change the message type after the text gets to certain length? Thanks all!
I think that a five message long could be divided with a few Full Stops. Or send a email, better I think for such a long message.

You could use a third party mms message app.
Now that you have asked your QUESTION and I have ANSWERED it, can you recognise which section this thread should have been posted in?
Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future.

[Q] Galaxy Tab Deleted my Messages

I own a GT-P1000 and randomly today, as I was about to send a text message, I found to my horror that my inbox has reverted to zero. When I try to connect it to my computer to possibly fish for these data in its memory, I find that it only goes to charging mode. Any possible way I can retrieve my messages? The tab has already deleted my contacts a few months ago and I have relied on my inbox to identify senders of incoming calls and messages. A lot of information regarding to my work were stored in those messages so it would be a huge huge help to me if I can get them back

Sorry to hear about that. if you have been syncing your tab to google then by default your contacts should have been saved. you could at least resurrect them that way. as for sms and mms i think you are out of luck. i normally back up messages with the app 'sms backup & restore' from google play. it's free.
