Character limits - HTC Aria Themes and Apps

Ok can anyone tell me if there is
A way to enter more characters in text boxes. Like *friendstream and Facebook apps that only allow you small amount of characters to be entered.

how to select and copy text from gmail app

Do you know how i can copy some text from gmail app? ?
I was just going to post the exact same thing. Needed to copy some text in an e-mail today and send it to someone via text and couldn't do it.
I thought going to gmail via the browser in classic mode would work but as soon as you go to your inbox the mobile version loads.
Any updates on this? Seems to be a bit of an oversight (ala original iPhone) that you cannot copy text from either the Nexus GMail or Email apps. Perhaps it is possible and we have not worked out how to do it ????
I use dolphin browser with Pc user agent

Fair enough. No doubt the capability will come in time.
You can apparently do this on the droid with the hardware keyboard, I believe it's hold down shift and select with the dpad.
This would mean the app allows it, but there's no way to get to it with the touchscreen.

As a temporary workaround, you can load up your Gmail in the browser and use the select/copy/paste functions just like you can on any website.
Oh, and the iPhone didn't have ctrl+x/c/v at all until the 3.0 software that was just released last summer.
i usually hit reply on the gmail app and select text from there

How does that work. I just tried it and if I it reply in the N1 Gmail app, I still cannot select the quoted text? Otherwise it would have been an excellent suggestion.

Wrong sms incoming time

For some reason my sms time is a few hours off only on incoming messages. When I send a txt it shows it at the right time though. It makes reading txt convost a lot more annoying. Any ideas?

It's an Rogers issue... search the market for smstimefix. put in your offset, and all future texts will show the right time I've had this issue on 2 unlocked android phones...
Thanks I will try it. I managed to fix it just setting + 0 on the time zone and setting time manually

Block texts

So I have an immature, annoying coworker who always sends idiotic spam messages; is there any way to block these? I need to keep his number for work related calls, I just dont need foolish pictures sent to me. I'm just using the stock messaging app. Any advice is appreciated

If you download handcent you can just add him to blacklist.
Sprint has a place to block texts on their web site.

You can use SMS Filter, a free, 30 kb app and add his or her number. No more sms messages from that number as long as he's in that app's blacklist. You can use it with any SMS client; it is a system wide effect.
Awesome man, thanks for the heads up.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
You can also send a text to 9999 to block. Its the same as logging into the sprint website to block.
Just send a text to 9999 with: Block phonenumber
ex: Block 5551112222 will block all texts from 5551112222. Allow 5551112222 will allow texts from the number again.

Contact names not showing up in messaging app.

Whenever I get a message from someone, all I get is their number. I realized it was only happening with my facebook synced contacts. I believe its because the facebook contact number has dashes (555-555-5555) and when I receive a text, it doesn't (5555555555). Is there a quick way to fix this? Or do I have to add every number and join it to that persons contact?

Sorry that I couldn't get back until now, but I'm using go SMS. But it does it in any messaging app. I tried checking the stock SMS app, and the same thing happened.

It is due to the way the numbers are saved. You will have to link them and make sure they are set up the same way as the ones that work.
If you're using google sync too you might want to go to your contacts and edit your google contact details cuz I think the contact list uses google details over facebook ones

Messaging and MMS

I have noticed that the messages are only long 70 symbols compared to other phones that have 160 per message. And when I write a longer message it shows that is a MMS?
Can someone explain to me why is that,and do I get charged for a MMS message instead of normal one?
Thanks in advance!

If you get 70 characters instead of 160, it means you're using non-english characters. All letters with dots, circles, or any other diacritical marks count as a non-standard character and cause your text to fit only 70 characters.
Stock messaging app will convert long text messages to MMS, and for now - there is no way to prevent that. You can always use another app to text people.
And yes, you're being charged for a converted MMS message according to your carriers prices.
Solutions:
- Don't use language specific characters. Just standard english.
- Don't write texts longer than 3x160 ( or 3x70 )
- Use third-party messaging app if you want to avoid auto-converting.
Thanks but I am writing with the English alphabet and not using another language. Can you sugest some good texting app?

Im using stock app, but most people seem to recommend Go SMS Pro as a replacement. Its free in the market.
