Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks
check out an awesome app named handcent.
I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.
Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.
Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes
I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.

Same, I just started using Handcent and its fantastic. I love the pop up notification similar to an iPhone, but you can do a quick reply from it without opening the app. Great features,skins, etc. VERY customizable.
I started using Handcent as an alternative to the stock app because it doesn't pay attention to the carrier timestamps on text messages. My messages were getting screwed up because of Sprint and Verizon. I love the popup box with quick reply. It unlocks the phone and lets you reply, and then relocks right after you send the message.
Thanks all...I downloaded handcent and it's awesome. Lots of features, very nice!!!

Been using SMS Popup for a lil while. Isn't a separate app but lets you quick reply from anywhere, including the lock screen.

I started out using SMS Popup, but compared overall to Handcent, it's really featureless.
thx for handcent recommendation

there's also ChompSMS.. but it's not free :T .. I like Chomps widget :].. it also supports popup with quick reply. Handcent is great though but if for some reason you want to try something else. There's CHOMPSMS
I've used chomp for a while....and after using Handcent for an hour...its way better.
Granted, most of that hour was spent customizing the interface ...but the pop-up quick reply is way better. You have TONS more options for everything in Handcent.
The only thing about Handcent that irritated me was when using quick reply via rhe popup on my lockscreen,the keyboard frequently covered up the reply box. Haven't had that prob with chomp. Both are really good

try reinstalling handcent and make sure the option in handcent allows popups above lockscreen
After using both handcent and chomp, I stuck with handcent. Looked nicer, and I love the popup. Didn't see that option in chomp though. Is it only the paid version?

Wrong forum... What rom are you using?
And try GOSMS and see if its any better, it has some extra mms tweaks built in.

That is strange... In reality I think all alternatives(such as chomp and handcent) work off of the built in messenger app. So if your stock app works with mms, they should too...

Update prl and profile first. That tends to help a lot. Also make sure that you leave receive turned on for stock app but not notifications.

Some messages of mine were cut as well. The only thing that fixed it was an updated mms.apk & use ADB push...
Thanks to Gamingphreek for the fix...

Time stamp on sms received msg is wrong how do we fix this
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Is it of a year ago or what? Be clear please. The sms timestamps are correct here, but if you reply within seconds (same minute) the reply appears above the last received message, that's an app fault, nothing we can do about
no not for xda app ..sms timestamps are wrong for me they are right but for the person who texts me its is like 4 hours wrong

I'll assume you are on Rogers or Fido as their network has this issue with unbranded phones. You'll need to download SMS Time Fix from the Android Market and have that run in the background.
thanks will try
Use Go SMS Pro
it has the option to correct this
plus it is the best SMS app

Good point. I had forgotten about Go SMS Pro!
what about handcent??

The last time I checked, Handcent did not offer the option to adjust time stamp. The choice is to use SMS Time Fix with the stock Messaging app or to use Go SMS Pro.
Thanks worked

Well, i have the stock messaging app, and using TW launcher 4.. so its literally stuck on the home screen. That being said, ive decided to use that app because i like the TW launcher. My problem is, because that app doesnt have the popup notification, i downloaded SMS popup, and now whenever i reply to an sms using SMS popup, it doesnt mark the message as read. And it also shows a little blip with (#) of unread messages right there on the home screen.
How can i fix this?
Thanks
probably something the app maker needs to fix. I would email them. I use go sms right now and when I read it through the pop ups it kills the notification.

lol, the app maker is samsung i dont see them fixing it anytime soon. I would use go SMS but i like the stock tw launcher... And i dont think its possible to replace the message icon (already in the launcher) with go sms. If this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks
I think for sms popup you have to disable notifications on the stock app and then use it...

Sorry, u do disable it in the stock sms app. I knew 5 minutes after I typed but I had a busy day and never got back to relieve myself of the stupidity I typed.

SMS Popup does not have any options to disable stock messaging app notifications.

That's only half of it. That only takes out the notification in the notification bar and the ringtone/vibration. In the TW4 launcher, the messaging app gets a little blip, like IOS about unread message. That is what i want to erase. I set the notification on the stock messaging app completely off, but that blip still comes here .
Its literally a circle with the number of unread messages in it at the top right side of the application shortcut. ie. (2)
Hi everyone, I've just uninstall go sms pro and then reinstall it. What happen to me is that all messages that I put into private box disappear. when I enter the private box, App require me to create lock, notification...anđ then "No private messages yet"
For me, they are valuable messages, how can I retrieve them?
Thanks you so so muchhhhhh..
I am sorry if this thread are posted in wrong place.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks you very much
You may want to check your stock messaging app as any messages you sent or received from GoSMS, should also show up there.
