Contact name in each text message? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

New galaxy note owner here, I noticed while sending a text in the stock messaging app it has "Me:" on every message I send. It also has the contact's name to each incoming message. Is there any way to take this off?

I would take a look in the settings, its been awhile but I don't recall seeing an option to do so.

SMS Messaging app error

I noticed today that the SMS Messaging app displays the word Sent and a time for text messages that have been received rather than sent. Is it just my Nexus One (FRF91) that is having a brain fart or do other see the same issue ?
It's telling you when the message was sent to you. It's working fine.
So a message that my phone has received is marked sent because someone sent it to me ? Android 2.1 marked it as received ?
I think it's a regression. It should say "Sent" for your messages and "Received" for your contacts' messages.
Also, when I get a SMS notification and select it from the notification bar it takes me to the list of SMS threads rather than the specific thread for the contact who just messaged me. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behavior for Eclair and is another regression or a horrible UI decision.

is anyone else having a bug where when you click the first message in the messaging app and it is showing a completely different conversation? Ive been sending many messages to the wrong people because of that.

It is telling you what time the message was sent to you. I do agree that it should say Received but it's not a bug.

That has happened to me a couple times. I have always noticed, thankfully, before sending a text. Except for once when I accidentally texted one of my boys with a <3. lol

[Q] My Note sent the contact vcf as MMS?

Hi All
I tried to send a contact detail from my note (2.3.6 official rom with root and Franco kernel #6) and it turned the sms to mms?!
I could be wrong, but think that's normal?
Text message is purely text whereas contact is text, image, ringtone etc etc...

I do not think so, since I did not notice that during my using to HTC Sensation, but will try with some other devices tomorrow.
A VCF won't fit in the 160 character limit of an SMS, it'll always send it as an MMS with the .VCF as a binary attachment.

It there any thing can be done to change that limit?
I think that text capacity. Although newer phones allow you to input more characters, they're actually sending out multiple texts. If you've got an old phone and receive a long text it's broken into multiple texts.

If you send a vcard from an HTC phone, and import to another phone manifacturers device, you will often see something in the "Extras/notes" window saying "HTC:;data-bla/bla-yay/I'm a HTC phone/yayy." Basically there can be anything in a vcard, even weird code each brand reads differently. So I think you sometimes would get a freaking long sms message, hence the vcard needs to be one file, not reassembled from small parts.

SMS notifications do not work while viewing

If I'm in the messaging app viewing a message from someone, if that same person then sends me another message, there is no notification sound. If I happen to be looking away from the screen I might miss it. Is this normal?

Unlocked Note 8 texts to emails.

I have a Unlocked Note 8 on T-Mobile. Somehow when I receive a text message, I also receive the same text message in my email. Anyone know how to turn that off? I do not remember setting anything up like this, never happened before.

You need to go to your email app options and disable it. It happened to me once and it was driving me crazy.
Thank you, couldn't figure it out. It was under settings uncheck Sync Messages for my Exchange email account.

How do you send a text message to an email in the galaxy note 8?
Go to settings email account scroll down and enable Sync Messages.

In the SMS app type in an email address instead of a phone number.

Google messages not receiving messages

Anyone esle use Google messages?
I noticed that I'm not receiving all messages with Google messages. It's pretty annoying since having a reliable MMS is critical for my job and my business. And not having web interface for stock SMS app sucks.

a hour later, i open samsung message, there' a new incoming text sent to me a hour ago.
