Curious to anyone who is on Froyo, either by Rogers or on custom ROMs:
When you text by Voice Action ("send text to XXX") and send it, does the text appear in the history/conversation of your messaging application? I do not see any record of any of the texts I send by this method, and it's quite annoying.

When I configure my Google Voice (GV) app, the SMS from Handcent all come thru my Google Voice number. By doing this, I'm able to ensure that multi-part messages are received by the recipient in proper order.
My girlfriend has the myTouch 3G. When she uses her Handcent with GV not configured her multi-part messages show up in my Handcent out of order. When she downloads and configures GV, any messages she sends from GV show her GV number and any she sends through Handcent show her phone's number. The text's she sends thru GV show up in order, which is nice, but she really enjoy's using Handcent.
Does anyone know how to configure her Handcent so it sends SMS thru her GV number?
PS - I find it odd that the multi-part messages I receive in MY Handcent aren't combined. I have that checked in the Handcent settings, but it's not performing that operation.
PSS - If there's another messaging app that achieves sending and receiving SMS messages in the proper order AND combines them without the need of GV, my girlfriend would probably be willing to switch. I just hope the issue isn't t-mobile's services screwing up the order of the SMS messages.

whenever i copy paste text from browser of more than 160 characters to text someone, the message automatically converts to an MMS. is there anyway to stop this? i want to send long text messages. if i type manually i'm able to send long messages. trouble only while copy pasting from clipboard (browsers).
thank you.
I'd love to get rid of that as well...
i found that the stock app cannot do it. need to go for third party apps like go sms pro or handcent..
Had the same problem on my Dell Streak running Froyo ... Same problem on Note and Gingerbread ... I dumped the stock messaging and moved to Chomp SMS and now Handcent SMS ... No problems in either app and I sometimes send rather long texts
If you do fancy changing your SMS app go to the Play Store and search BigSMS. It simply allows you to send huge texts.
Great. So i've probably been running up MMS costs unknowingly. Ridiculous. Should send Samsung the bill.
I have an annoying issue with my phone and don't know if it can be remedied or not. I am sure that others may have the same issue. If I miss a phone call and the person leaves a voicemail I get four different app notifications. The icons in the notification bar include: missed call icon, email icon with possible transcript of voicemail, text message with possible transcript of voicemail and finally, Google voice icon with transcript and voice recording. I use Handcent for texting, gmail for emails and Google voice for voicemails. I would like to keep Google voice as I like the transcript and voice recording available in one spot. Is there a way to selectively not receive notices for phone calls from specific apps?

i wont be of too much help here, but i can suggest turning notifications off for such things as a bootleg temp fix until you figure it out.
ive never used handscent so that may be it, or more likely an app for transcripting voicemails as that seems to be the common factor here.
I am using Slim ICS, and like the feature to send an SMS to an incoming caller.
I use google voice, and have set it as the default SMS app, but when responding to a call with the canned SMS messages it always uses the phones messaging app instead of google voice (shows the wrong phone number to caller).
Is there some file I might edit to change this?
I'll admit that I don't use group messages or MMS (just regular text messages), so this one has me baffled.
I can send and receive regular individual text messages just fine. No problems there.
However, my supervisor, who is using an iPhone, sends out group text messages. Those come to me as 1K MMS messages (with a "Download" button in GoSMS Pro, or a "Downloading..." icon in stock Messaging). When I click on the "Download" icon in GoSMS Pro, it just sits and spins ad infinitum, and never turns into a message.
How do I get incoming group text messages to display properly?
Is this an APN issue, a messaging client issue, or a system setting issue?
Thanks in advance.
