Hey everybody,
Does anybody know how I could set up a filter on my sms inbox so that messages go to different folders? For example I recieve SMS alerts when I get a new email and I would like these alerts to go into a separate folder. Is this even possible?
I imagine that quite a few people could make use of such a filter and it may even become commonplace with the volume of junk messages now bombarding our phones!!
Regards,
Max

I use SMS reminders in Google calendar. For some reason default Hero messages application does not group these messages under one name as it does for other contacts so I have pretty lengthly list of Google reminders in my inbox.
I tried adding dummy Google contact but it did help. Maybe I should have add telephone number to it but there is no sender number in message details.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem, because each reminder message is from a unique number (the proper shortcode followed by a sequence number), so that Google's system can identify individual messages (and replies when applicable). I never did figure out a way to get them to group, but I did find a work around. I switched my notification types from SMS to Pop-up (in my GCal settings, online). If you have notifications turned on in your phone's calendar, then the calendar app on your phone will alert you (similar to the way the alarm does) rather than getting a text message. The other advantage to this, at least in my opinion, is that if I don't notice it right away, it'll snooze and pop up again in a few minutes, unlike a text message, which is a one shot thing.
So I have a bunch of friends with iPhones, and they threw me into a group chat (not that it matters but we're organizing a martini night). As you guys probably know as android users, this presents a problem as the group messages are received as individual texts, normally with a <no subject> header, and as a result, you can't reply to the chat, but have to respond to each member individually (or send a mass text each time).
I'm wondering if there's simply a way to group (on my end only) those contacts together, so that any message I receive from them shows up as a group chat, which I can then reply to all. I would still get the <no subject> headers, but at least this way the messages could be organized and I could read the conversation without having to look at each contact separately and compare the message with the timestamp from when it was sent.
The apps I've seen (like POWOW) can create chat groups, but it requires that my friends join the chat, or reply to some strange number each time, and it's really just an unnecessary hassle for them. I don't want that.
Anyone know of an app, or a way of grouping contacts together like this?
I'm on CM7 using the "Messaging" app.
Handcent has this feature. Free @ play store.

Hi
I am looking for some android app which help me do the following:
I receive various messages related to banks, my mutual funds, etc. These are important so I dont want to delete them but I dont want to be notified about them either. I just want that when SMSes from specific senders come, the come silently (no SMS ringtone) and I am not informed.
So basically, SMS silence for selected senders & no-inform for selected senders. Possible?
I had thoussands of sms. I found it hard to scroll to the first sms of some person when there is too many sms accumulating. It would be nice if I can see sms per person categories in years. Is there any apps that can do that?
Navigating too many sms seem not friendly and hard. How do you guys scroll some person sms in your inbox straight to the first sms? Any trick?
Is there an texting app out there that can allow you to organize contacts much like how gmail emails can be sorted? If i have a contact that is set up as "work" in my contacts and they send me a text, it will be filed under a "work" folder. If a friend texts me, their sms history would be under "social" or something similar?
So basically, the architecture of my sms will be:
Main folder (unsorted)
A) social
B) work
C) family
D) something for automated texts from bank or verizon, etc
E) old
Always scrolling up and down my sms can br an eye sore sometimes.
Thanks!
