SMS Messages - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I get a lot of work related SMS Messages and missing them means I potentially miss money. I used to use an app to change the SMS tone based upon the sender, but now that I have switched carriers from Sprint to Straight Talk/ATT the SMS Messages seem to come from a random number that is incremented by one each message that comes in. The text of the message usually starts the same with From: Sender and I want have a different alert tone based upon the sender or text within the message. Is there an easy way to do this? Also is there any alternative SMS app that I can have group these messages together as a conversation based upon the sender? Basically, I want the functionality I had under ICS on the Epic 4g Touch on my Note. Thanks in advance for all your comments and suggestions.

Remove threaded messages

Hello, I'm a newbie here. I have a ATT Tilt. I love the phone. However I hate the threaded messages. Whenever I receive a new text, the message contents are displayed on the screen. Some of my messages are private, and if some is using my phone or I am showing someone something, they can read my message. Is there anyway to remove this?
Please help
Thanks
threaded? - that's not threaded, threaded sms is where multiple sms messages are grouped together. What you are talking about is just a notification. Go into sound settings and turn off the "display message on screen" for New SMS messages
Thanks!
... so how exactly does threaded sms work
DELETED - double post
I guess the easiest comparison would be "gmail". Have you ever seen how gmail displays email messages? It basically threads all related messages together. Since text messages don't really keep a history of the current conversation, threaded text messages allow the user to see the history of the conversation all threaded together. Take a look a gmail account and it will make total sense. The Palm devices that run WM had a thread sms application but regular WM devices lilke the Tilt don't have it by default.
I was just thinking of that. So its similar to Gmail conversations... Is it based on Ajax technology as well?......Is it auto enabled, or do I have to enable it?

Text issues

I am having problems with the threaded SMS texting on my diamond. When I have a conversation box open and am texting back and forth with someone it does not show the messages as read. When I close out of the conversation and go to my SMS inbox it shows that I have new messages (as many as the person sent). The only way for me to clear these messages as read is to open and close the conversation as many times as there were messages sent. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem. Thanks

SMS Problem with Korean unit

I bought my Galaxy S the other day:
Model # SHW-M110S
It's a Korean Anycall original unit, it's open-line...I had no problems with calling and receiving calls and receiving SMS...but then i wasn't able to send messages, a "invalid sender" error appears everytime i try to send sms. Then I found a way how to send, it was Messages>compose messsage>left main key>Change sender...then put my number as "FROM" to the message before sending. I have to do this everytime I send SMS which is a hassle, i was wondering why do i have to this all the time? Isn't it already automatic that sending messages with the default number of my Sim Card? And another thing, I can only send up to 80 bytes of text, after that, it automatically changes to a MMS....is it really that short? Or can I extend the text messaging without automatically making it to an MMS messsage like any other phones....Please help me with this technical thing...it would be a great help...ThaNX!

[Q] Send SMS upon Call being blocked

Phone: Nexus One
Carrier: ATT
OS: MIUI
So I have been able to find threads about sending SMS upon call hangups or missed calls, and threads about blocking calls. However I need the union of the two.
I want to send a text message whenever a call is blocked saying something like: "call rejected, reason:blacklist. Text me with your name so I can add you to contacts list." I know spammers will never do this, but I also dont want to send this text to my friends every time I miss a call.
So if anyone knows how to use the Tasker app well (maybe to compose an SMS whenever I get a call from someone not in contacts) or the DND settings on MIUI, you would be a true hero.
Like this?

[Q] Regarding text messages

Hi guys. This may sound prepostorous somehow lol. I am already diverting my voice calls from my s3 to another android device and now i would like to divert my sms messages also.
I've been reading a few things and i keep getting something about a gateway being needed or something along those lines. I understand ( i think ) the function of the gateway, but is there another way around them? Is there a way of diverting text messages from one android device to another without downloading free apps that don't work anyway or expencive apps that give you phone rage?
Oh, and i already know that text messages can be diverted to email addresses but it really would be neat is one can divert their sms messages from one android to another.
