Hi
i want to send my SMS via a easy accessable hardware button (like the one from the camera)
does anybody can give me a hint how i can do that; or name an app which could be a solution for my problem
thx a lot
give handcent a try
its free in the market place
theres an option in the settings where you can get it so when you hold the camera butten a dialog will pop up
i think chomp sms has it too~
hope this helps
Just tried it with chompsms
It works fine but it just starts the app, its not possible to actually send the sms with a hardware button
My other thought now is to start a own app with the camera button (which automatically sends the sms)
Any hints on that? It should be possible, chomp and handcent are able to reprogramm the camera button...
Thx

I know there are already sms popup apps out there but I would like to reply straight from the pop up window. Handcent sms has a good example of it but you have to use there messaging application which has a really bad lag. But you can see what I mean here: http://www.handcent.com/images/popup.png
So in a nut shell a sms popup app that you can reply from straight fro.m the pop window that uses the default messaging app.
Thank you all devlopers that take this into consideration

I think you answered your own question. Its called sms popup. You can reply within the pop up window and use the default messenger.

Dont think you understood it correctly .. sms pop up pops up and lets u hit reply which then take you to your messaging app, he wants a pop up that has an input field for the reply text already in it..
The iPhone has an ill one like that...u dont even have to unlock the phone to reply...
you can use the popup from handcent and use your default messaging app. u dont have to use handcent. handcent and the default apps "talks" with eachother and syncs. so anything udo in handcent is done in the default.
all you have to do is turn off all notifications from handcent and enable notifications for default and just use the popup feature from handcent.
or u can try a widget called Text Widget that does something simliar. it too uses the default msg app and it lets u reply within the quick reply box.

Both of those will work for what you want. I just wish smsPopup had the ability to clear the message as new but not look at it.
i love sms pop up never tried the other,,,,,s soon as leds wrk in hero i will go back to it.
also the settings in sms popup is great changes color....and type of vibration
I installed OCLF and LauncherPro and now my Call Log in the dialer is showing SMS messages instead of just Calls. As I get a ton of text messages, my call log is getting really long and messy.
Anyone know how I can resolve this? I clicked on Settings while in Call Log but it won't allow me to restrict it to calls only. The only options offered is:
View by:
All logs
missed calls
dialled calls
received calls
sent messages
received messages
bump..
this is real annoying as the call log becomes super long.
bump..
would really love a solution to this.May be a log cleaner that deletes all the text logs ?
You mean in Contacts History?
Press Menu, select 'View By'. Deselect 'Message' and press 'Done'.
And messages do not appear in the history.

As stated in the original post, the call log only has the options to view by one of the following selections (not multiple selections): All logs, Missed calls, Received calls, Dialed calls, Received messages, and Sent messages.
If we could simply "uncheck" the 2 message options, this thread would not exist. We can only select one selection of the above choices. Further example: selecting missed calls would leave out received calls, dialed calls, received messages, and sent messages.
We would like something that only shows missed, received, and dialed calls (no sms).
So far, only the froyo builds are this way for the vibrant ROMs (except teamwhiskey's - i've tried macnut and axura which both suffer from this problem).
Is there a fix for this yet? I can't believe Google released Froyo with this dumb problem! There is no way to exclude SMS from the call log! My call log goes on for miles!
Can one of you XDA geniuses come up with a fix for us?
Ohh I hate this too. Its so annoying.
This is driving me crazy! Does anyone know if there is a replacement Call Log app that we can install in its place?
This is very annoying and for that fact I went back to ka5, does anyone have a way to replace the dialer app? I tried replacing the phone app but it gave me issues with connecting to the network.

For those who are rooted, I have bionix v rom installed and flashed the AOSP MMS app provided by Team Whiskey and this log annoyance is gone.

I may not answer your question about changing the 'call log' settings but this is what i do.
1. Go to 'contacts'
2. 'history' tab
3. Press the menu button
4. Then go to 'view by'
From there, there is a check list where you can select what kind of logs you want to see.
Couple of more steps to see the call history, but nonetheless it gives.you what you want.

Well the History app seems to work. But it brings up another question: why in the world are there TWO different call log apps in the native dialer? The "Logs" app doesn't resolve the situation, but to access the other call log app, you have to open the dialer, click on Contacts, then the History tab.
Maybe Darky can offer a custom fix in 9.3?

Ditto! This is driving me nuts! I am rooted and ready to add or delete whatever it takes to fix this. Would somehow downgrading from 2.2 dialer to the 2.1 api work?
try go contacts from the market, it provides a dialer aswell and looks much better than stock with all stock features and only calls in the log.

I posted a workaround for this in another thread which has somehow disappeared.
There are TWO call logs in the native dialer application. The first you get by clicking on Phone/Logs. This one is useless.
The second you get by clicking Phone/Contacts/History. Then click on the Settings button and create your filters. This one has all the features you need.
My girlfriend just picked up a used Captivate, and she's liking it so far, but the only annoying thing I've noticed is that anytime she receives a MMS (picture - from my iphone, png or jpg), in the threaded SMS screen between me and her, it shows a little preview of the image I sent (just like the iphone) but with a big "play" button watermarked over it - and when she touches it, it shows the picture and plays it like a video for 5 or 10 seconds.
Is this normal? Is there a way to remove the "play" (triangle) watermark from MMS thumbnails or otherwise change the behavior?
not from the stock sms program but there are many replacement SMS apps on the market to try, no rooting or modding needed!
I like GO SMS Profor this very reason

Thanks, I got chompSMS and it works exactly as expected.
ok I am having the worst luck with TINY problems on this D4. so I was having a problem where blurcontactsync was causing my contacts to crash if I tried to use them, I found a simple fix to rename the apk to .bak, and it worked
Now I noticed that when I get a text message I do not receive any kind of notification. No smiling message in the notification bar, no notification tone, no vibrate. I have gone into text message settings and set the tone, I have gone into general settings and set the tone. I even went into titainium backup and froze "Messaging, and Universal Inbox" because I thought they might be interfering just like the blur contacts sync. no luck Still do not receive any kind of indication not even the LED flashing.
all my other notifications work fine, if I get an email, or a missed call I get a notification tone and a flashing green light....I extensively searched XDA and people were having this problem with the droid X but it was some kind of update bug and was fixed with a new patch....anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my notifications working again??
Hmm I can't replicate this problem on mine but do you use the stock text messaging app? Try a third party texting app like Handcent and then send a test to yourself from text.vzw.com and see if you get the notification.

yea I'm currently using the stock app I was hoping to avoid a 3rd party app but I guess Im going to dive into that. I can just freeze my stock msg app right?

I wouldn't freeze the stock messaging app, I believe that's still necessary even with a 3rd party app (speaking of, I highly recommend GoSMS, but have also been happy with Handcent in the past).
I remember seeing over on DroidForums.net that someone froze their stock messaging app and wasn't receiving any texts after that. Give it a shot but if you don't get any texts for a while I'd unfreeze
It's been almost a week since the stock Messages app started acting up.
If I try to open the app by tapping the icon, it will start, briefly show the messages and close itselt with an error prompt that allows me to close it or send an error report. If I receive an SMS and tap the notification, the app opens and shows the message, I can reply and it works fine this way.
Restarting the phone sometimes solves this right away but it appears at random times. I don't text that much via SMS (mainly WhatsApp and Skype) but it's annoying to not be able to open the app to send an SMS on the rare occasions I need to.
I have an unlocked US model, I'm not rooted or anything. Using stock with Nova Launcher Prime and a couple icon packs.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the Messages app?
I'm currently waiting for the 4.2.2 update to show on the phone. I hope this is fixed in this update.
If the update doesn't fix it, I will try Textra or SMS Now. I've read good things bout them but I really didn't need an extra messaging app since I received or need to send 1-3 SMS a day.
Having a 3rd-party SMS apps will interfere with the stock Contacts and Dialer apps in some way?

First thing I would do is go into settings > apps >all. Go to messages then force stop. Reset defaults and delete data.. That should reset anything you may have changed on error. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I would say your launcher has a conflict

I already deleted its cached data and reset default options. Could be Nova Prime Launcher having a conflict with Messages, but the strange thing is that it started to happen long after installing Nova.
I'm waiting for the 4.2.2 update. When it shows I will update and do a factory reset.
Thanks
