[Q] View entire text message - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I recieve/send a long text it will only show the first few lines and 'more...'
and I have to click on that individual message in order to read the whole thing. It's really hard to read a series of old, longer texts bc when I hit the back button to go back to the thread, it takes me to the most recent one and I have to scroll through to find where I was.
Can anyone tell me which roms have mms that displays the entire text message without having to click on it?
So far I found that only serendipity does. Are there any others? Looking to flash tonight if anyone can help thatd be great!

I use the chomp app from the market. Pretty sure you can customize it to show the whole message when you get it. Plus when the text appears on screen it will take you to that most recent message. I've used chomp on froyo and GB custom roms. Hope this helps

Is that similar to handcent? I'll check it out if I cant find a rom that has an mms with that feature.
Thanks!

black list?

please excuse my ignorance i tried searching and found nothing but what exactly is the black list all about. i see it starting to pop up in recent roms phone.apk's and i use handcent sms (awesome app btw) and its an option. i haven't tried it because i just have the thought that it will get rid of something i dont want to.
thanks

I think my phone is bugged, any help?

Yes this is the development thread, and all I really have is a problem, but I think it's something only solvable by you devs.
My phones sms has been completely Effing up lately.
I will get the notification up in the bar, and I can pull that down and read into the message, but if I open Handcent or the default app the text won't show up and will not be there.
So reasonably I stopped using Handcent, and Message widget and all sorts or things like that, wiped my phone, cleared the partition, flashed a new rom. Different firmwares [1.6 and the new open eclair]
But nothing really seems to help or work, apparenlty mms has been failing a lot which I know is more so on Tmobile's end then it is my phone but idk whats up, tonight I get this new Android notification
"com.android.mms a large number of sms messages are being send. select "ok" to continue of "cancel" to stop sending"
whenever I hit send, I haven't yet rebooted to see if it persists but it's a pain.
Is there any device log or collection I can submit so someone can look into it, possibly a bug? Virus? Somethin' stupid like that?
Thanks.
p.s. and my inbox isn't full or anything ridiculous like 1000+ messages, I've got about less than 50 currently, and when I said stopped using Handcent and MessageWidget, I mean uninstalled.
This happened to me on rare occasions while I was using Handcent. But it doesn't happen when I use the default messaging app. So I assumed it was due to handcent. Not quite sure why you're getting the other problems though... =/
This happened to me as well when I changed to a 2.1 rom. I chose to go back to Dwangs 1.6 rom until the 2.1 roms have been completely stable.
Hey try using ChompSMS. I think its better than Handcent SMS

That doesn't sound good at all.
Have you checked with t-mobile to see if you are sending a stupid amount of text messages? It could be someone is sending spam messages via your phone or something. It could explain why you are unable to receive messages.
I think you are from the government, trying to find out whom on here knows how to subvert there android espionage. I for one will state to you officer, that I know nothing about this, and am stupid to the whole concept of bugs.
PS Do not try to trace my post, as both me and my computer are wearing tinfoil hats (with the shiny side out).
In all reality, one trick I learned as a teenager to check if your phone may be bugged, is to find an old business that still uses a switchboard phone system (this was hard in the early 90's, and may be impossible now) and phone them. If your phone was bugged, then they would see two lines coming in as one and become quite confused.
Whoa guys, by "bugged" I meant viruses not I'm being spied on haha.
It's occured on the 2.1 build Open Eclair
and a Cyan 1.6 build.
With and without using alternative applications for messaging.
I got sick and tired of it so I decided to go back to my most solid rom I've ever used.
A Soul Life 1.5 build, and I haven't had any troubles yet.
When I preformed the nandroid backup however it still tried to act like my sd card was partitioned and the market was buggy for a few but the cache is cleared up and it's all good now.

Conversation avatar image in SMS

Hi guys, as I was searching through post to find solution to my issue/inquiry this is the closest thread I've found yet un-answered
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093482
.
Since the the X8 and the X10 are not very far off I thought I would try but none of that worked, does anyone have a clue of how to display MY image/avatar in messages, I did all the steps that I could from that post and nothing.
INFO: X8 Froyobread v0.23b - with UI CyanogenMod CM7 v 2.2.1
thanks in advance for the help.
FYI. It's not really important i just like to see a good image through my sms conversations.
Just save your own number to your contacts then add a picture to it then your picture will show up in conversions

No buddy I did that just like that post said to and no good.
So I've added my own number to the contacts.
I checked other options and still nowhere to be found.
what else can possible be a solution? any other thoughts, anyone?
EDIT: Nevermind people thanks for the help, didn't realize that a lot of changes can be done after you restart your phone. got my image in the avatar working great. just having my own number in the contacts helped.
Try go sms pro sir. It is much better than stock sms. I even remove the stock from my phone.

Not a bad point, how can I remove the stock I already have Handcent on mine and its way cooler with lots of mods, but it keeps interfering with my stock when i receive i have to be checking on both to remove notifications.
I would also like to remove, MAPS, Market, Gmail (Things that I can't use since I'm outside of the US and no internet connection unless WI-FI)

did you try posting your query in the rom thread ? maybe others using the rom facing same problem ?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Well to be honest i dont have enough permission to post there.. I dont want to spam for posts, so i havent reached 10 posts yet. I think many guys are facing this issue but just ecause i use this function like everyday so its a little irritating...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Just returned to PA 2.57.4 Utacka's ROM after going back to stock to await upgrade. Not sure I understand the problem ? If I want to send a message I choose the message icon from the dock. On the page that opens I choose the message with a + in the lower left corner, which opens a keypad, any letter I type brings up a list with that letter from my contacts list. Choosing from that list starts a message to be sent. I can also get to the type a message screen straight from my contacts list by selecting the message + icon next to the contact name. Is this what is missing for you?

[Q] [CM11] SMS messages do not split

Hi everyone,
I am using the latest CM11 nightlies (specifically the 20140210 right now) and whenever I send an SMS message over 160 characters, the message will not send. In the past, the messages would split and send the first 160 characters, then the second, and so on, each as an SMS message. Now, it's just one message that is not split and it will not send. I updated firmware (thinking this might help), was on the stock sense rom for a while and everything was fine but coming back to CM11 again I still have this issue. Does anyone have any advice as to why this is happening? SMS and MMS seem to work, just not SMS when over 160 characters / multiple pages. I've tried this with different apps and nothing seems to help, except for hangouts which somehowworks. But i'd rather not be using that if possible. I tried to find other solutions to this and had no luck, sorry if I missed something.
I've had this issue with the past few nightlies and haven't seen anyone else yet with the issue. I would have posted this to the cm11 thread but I don't have enough posts yet unfortunately to do so
Thanks for anyone's help!
I'm searching for the answer to a similar issue. I have a d2spr, on CM11 nightlies as well, but my issue is that I cannot type more than 160 characters anymore. Used to, if I typed more, it would tell me it was going to split into multiple messages by a little thing near the send button. Looked something like "140/2." Now, when I get to 160, it just won't let me type anything else. I have to hit send, and continue typing out my message hoping the recipient doesn't respond to the first message before I get the complete thought across to them.

This is the exact problem I have as well, my first post was a little chaotic and hard to understand. I've since gone back to cm10.2 M-snapshot though without a fix for the issue. i just checked the cm11 2/17 nightly and it still has this same problem. I will probably just wait a while until there's a more stable version of cm11 available for the m7spr.
thanks for confirming that i'm not the only one!
