Hi there. My IS seems to omit line breaks in incoming multi-line SMSes. When I forward such SMSes, I need to manually put in line breaks. Like the screenshot below, the 2nd SMS. All the lines lumped into 1 long sentence. Is this normal? It's the same whether I'm on ARHD or MIUI, stock Messaging or GO SMS.
It happened to my previous X10i as well, but not to Samsung Ace and SL. Is there a fix?
It does, while in Messaging app, go to Menu key->Settings->Soft keyboard type->Enter for a new line

Has anyone yet figured out a way to not have the Captivate log every single text and call you make?
It is so annoying to have to hunt all through my phone looking for tracks. Originally I assumed that they could be erased by deleting the thread in messaging. Wrong!
So then go to the contact/history and delete it there. Wrong! There is nothing in the history tab.
So then open the dialer, go to call log and look, every sent and recieved text, mms, and call is logged there as well. Its like a paranoid secret agent designed this system.
And heaven forbid that you installed a second messaging program such as Handcent to log everything all over again.
I currently use Horizon to keep my private texts private, but even that allows the outgoing texts to be logged.
Yes, deleting the thread, then selecting every individual item in the log from the unwanted caller works. Or even deleting the entire call log at once will work. But short of that has anyone come up with a work around for the call logging intrusion?
Found "Not log this call" on the market to auto delete phone calls log (Not free).
For sms you can edit the text message limit and reduce it to 1. This will at least keep 1 text message in store before it gets deleted. But default it's set to 200 msg per conversation and 20 mms per conversation.
Interesting. I looked at that app, I may have to try it.
Did you actually get your message inbox to go to 1? Mine will only go down to 10.
I am currently testing it to see if it erases the call log history as it erases the inbox but I dont think it does.
Ok, so setting the message limit to 10 only deletes the messages, not the logs.
However, while playing with it I found out that by selecting one of the logged entries (text or call) it pulls up a history type page. From there you can select the bottom left soft key, choose delete and then choose select all. I am not sure but I think it only deletes one page at a time or something as it seems to leave a few behind. I am still playing but its a hell of a lot better that trying to select each individual log in the main log screen. Its sort of what you would expect the history tab in the contact screen to do. (especially if you came from WinMo )
I hope someone else finds this helpful. I did a lot of searching and found a lot of complaints about this awful "feature" but no answers. This isnt much of an answer but its seems a bit more tolerable since I figured the history part out.
It also seems to be something Samsung adds as Evo and the Droid don't do it.
Check out HistoryEraser. I think I saw it on Lifehacker a few days ago, supposed to wipe away all your unwanted tracks.
I notice since Froyo, the Call log now records even SMS received and send. This makes for a long and messy log if you do a lot of texting.
I only want the Call Log to show calls but the "View as" menu only have separate options for calls received, made and miss. There is no way to view all calls.
Is there a hack or settings somewhere I missed out? Or alternatively, can we disable the logging of sms totally?
same question as above..
the reason i registered to this forum is only this, its very annoying,
there must be a fix or android must fix this, sometimes i miss my iphone call list, where there is not an endless list with both recieved, called and sms, worst is that its not imbedded within each contact.
if that was possible then i can manage to have the sms log in there to.
and why not have the option of having both recieved, called and missed in the same settings.. doesnt make sense at all..
im sorry for this to be first post, i a total noob when it comes to coding for android, which i intend to learn..
thank you for a great forum btw..
i hope there will be a fix to this

I would like to have a fix for this too. The call log gets extremely long.
since froyo upgrade i am having the same issue. whts the use of logging text msgs anyways.. it gets recorded on its own thread. Me and my gf text a lotttt. now if i want to call someone from my history logs.. i cant simply find them cuz i have to scroll down 500 msgs to find that number.. there shud be fix for this thing..
Still no fix eh?
I tried selecting one of the options, such as "dialed calls" and it works... until you close the log and then try to make another call, and it all comes back to the same story... wtf android?

Ever since I updated my phone to the latest software I've been getting this dialogue box. I understand why it is there but the way I set up my sms, it becomes somewhat of a nuisance. Essentially I'm using Hover Chat to handle 'on the fly' pop up txt. And for longer texts I would use the default texting app (since the text field is larger). It was a system that worked fine before the update, but now with that dialogue box, it has become annoying.
I'm basically asking, how can I remove this box. I know there's a way to edit the code to do so. I just need some direction. (I will assume responsibly if I ruin my phone )
I don't think I understand. You can only send SMS from the default app, so how else are you expecting to use two different apps without the pop-up?
I can send sms with both the non-default sms and default sms apps. Even after the update I could do that. What's different is the dialogue box. It wasn't there before the latest update. Sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to give a little background. At the end of the day, I just want to know how to stop the dialogue box from popping up
Hello,
When I want to make a call, I go to the phone App and am presented with the keyboard to place my call, the first tab is selected.
The second tab is the call log, and the other ones are for favorites and contacts.
Would there be a way to have the keyboard for placing a call show on top of the call log by default?
When I place a call, either I want to call someone I called recently, or I want to type in the number, but having to change the active tab for that feels like an unnecessary step.
Is this something that can be done?
Hi Guys,
After I rooted my phone and started reinstalling stock roms, I noticed that I'm not getting underlined phone numbers in SMS like how I use to.
It also used to be clickable for me to easily click the number to call back.
Anyone knows how to get this feature back?
Sample as per attachment.
