What SMS /Text Message programs do you guys use?
So far I have tried Sms-Chat.I like the interface just just feel it needs more.
Default one that comes with DCD/WM61 works good enough for me... Threaded and everything. Running the Arcsoft CAB in the other thread for VZW and I get picture messages again.
Life is Sweet.
i use cody's threaded sms its a good program tat does wat i need it to do and it is seamlessly integrated with regular sms so no additional programs to run. it keeps me happy
I use pocketcm for contacts and sms
Built-in
WM6.1's built in sms is fine for me.
SMS Chat. loves it
I use the one with WM 6.1... works perfectly for me, threaded and everything...
Before that I used PocketCM... one of the best free apps that I have found for WM devices... easy to use, customizable, themable, and free!!!
Palringo is a nice application as well.

Seems more of a IM app
I am looking for a "iphone like" messaging software. I like the sms built into PocketCM, but don’t like the rest of the program. Any suggestions?
I have tried:
Sms Chat - would use it if you could get skins for it
PocketCm - the sms is great but you have to access the whole program to use it. And you also cannot set it to be the default sms.

i use sms chat, why would you want skins for it? as long as it's functional thats the main thing.. adding skins would uneccessarily make the program bulky and slow it down.

I agree. I use sms-chat & love it just the way it is.....
I just wish I could receive MMS pics within the app, but none of them do that.....

SMS Tweaker
I use SMS Tweaker and like it a lot. It even lets you set a background pic to your messages when not in Threaded Mode.

Thanks for mentioning SMS Chat, just tried it and love it. I've been looking for something similar to this....
Is it really not possible to get sms client to understand that you use capital letters at the start of a new sentence?
Can´t understand how it could lack such a basic function that one has been used to have since the monochrome display cell phone times???
Does it only capitalize the very first letter in the SMS Client?
If so, do you put a SPACE between the . and the next word?
My Client then capitalizes the next word, no problem here.
EDIT: Additionally, check if you activated "Capitalize first letter of sentence" under Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Input -> Options-Tab.

Yes, but that´s the wm client, I´m talking about HTC own sms client.
I was talking about the HTC Messaging Client too.
It works for me, no problem at all.
What keyboard are you using?
Touch input. Does it capitalize immediately or when you send the message?
It capitalizes it immediately after I finished the word after a full stop.
It is important that you put a space between the full stop and the next word, I hope you know that
Yes that´s the way I would like it to work and the way it works on the wm client but not on the HTC. Had a diamond before the hd2 and it was the same thing with it, that´s why I assumed the HTC client didn´t have this function at all...
Just to be clear, you use the one with speech buubles?
Can anyone else confirm this?
I just tried it in Conversation Mode, but it also works there without any problems.
I always use Traditional Mode.
EDIT: Wow, wait a minute. The HTC Messaging Client does NOT have speech bubbles at all. The WinMo Messaging Client has these!
What ROM are you using BTW? If it's an Energy-ROM, there's no HTC Messaging Client included.
Regards,
Lukas
I´m using energy and I thought it was the stock HTC client, but I installed the addon and then got the stock. There the auto capital worked but the interface otherwise was terrible so I uninstalled it.
Does energy rom have a custom app where you see the sms as speech bubbles or what?
Anyway it´s when I type in this that the capatalization doesn´t work...
Ok, so I can't seem to find anything on this. I had Sense UI on my old phone and I really liked how everything was consolidated within contacts. When you selected "contacts", you'd see their name and whatever their FB status was. Then when you'd click a specific contact, you'd have tabs for each communication method. You could easily click on call history, SMS history, emails, etc.
I can't seem to find anything like that for the Streak in an app format. There has to be something like that.
Is PhoneBook 2.0 something like what you are looking for http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.voxmobili.phonebook2
Close. Better than the stock contact app. No email grouping and you have to link one profile at a time to FB.
Like I said, better than stock, so I'll use that for a while. Thanks!
I think you'll struggle to find a home replacement with all the features of SenseUI.
Sense isn't just an .apk, it replies heavily on HTC's framework.
When Dell get off their arse and release the Kernel, we should be able to port over Sense to the streak
WHEN ???????????

I don't necessarily want a home replacement, just a better contacts/email/sms/info organizer. The link above is close. Another drawback I found, when you put a contact shortcut on the home screen, it opens the stock contacts and not the Phonebook app.
The contact app from 2.1 is much better, either wait for the upgrade or flash the leaked beta,
To direct dial a contact with a shortcut go to add /shortcut/direct dial
The icon will direct dial the number you choose.
No, I know how to do that. I mean, when I put the contact on the desktop (whatever you call it for Android ) it opens the contact in the stock contact manager, not PhoneBook 2.0 manager. When I use Handcent, I defaulted that as the SMS client, so now when I start a new SMS, Handcent pops up. I don't get that option with Phonebook, for some reason.
Can anyone please suggest a good dialer with address book..which has google and Facebook sync for CM7.
Tried youlu and contapps(uselessly using lot of screen area) but weren't up to the mark..
Please suggest one...thanks in advance ..

hi there
I think you should try GO CONTACT,it has dialer that integrate your phone's contacts with your contacts from facbook google yahoo etc
I use GO Contact it is very good. It has features like quick search in the manufacturer HTC phone app. Unfortunately, it would prefer the original applications from HTC.
Don't know if you are facing the same issue..but go contacts always takes time in initial loading of contact list..any solution ...please suggest ...

Yes, you are right about go contacts, try phonebook 2.0 on appbrain or market, it has nice UI and is faster than go contacts, I think.
Go contacts sucks, compared to the CM7 Dialer most dialers suck.
The only drawback I found in this rom's dialer is the fact that you cannot preview a contact when typing a part of that contacts number into the ,,phone" tab. ( like the sense dialer does for example )
Any ideas on how to enable that, as I am unable to find the option?
You can't on the Stock dialer, it's not supported, which is exactly why everyone is finding (Or rather, trying to find ) alternatives.
This feature is called Smart Dialing BTW, Just FYI.
I use TouchPal. It supports smart dialing and is much faster than Go Contacts.

Does that sync the FB contact details..
I use contapps, works pretty well.
Contapps use lot of screen space in case of wildfire

Angel Dialer is the best
Personally I use aContact - skins, plugins, integrates Call History with dialer screen, smaller than GO Contacts & seems pretty quick.
I tried lot of Dialers and in my opinion the best are:
- aTAKEphONE (payed)
- Youlu Address Book (free)
For "best" I mean they are fast in smartdial and they are nice/fancy, plus they fit pretty well on the QVGA screen of our Wildfire.
I never tried Angel Dialer and aContact, so I'm gonna try them ASAP.
Bye

Your phone is Wildfire? Install, go to aContacts, not see any contacts ...
Contapps is definitely has the best dialer, work smoothly and has so many extra cool stuff.

Should open to show the dialer - swipe right to see Contacts, swipe left for config screen to download plugins & set initial screen ... at least that's how it installed for me
+1 on Contapps, fastest dialer in the market, works great for me.
Hello,
before i use the Dialer of CM7 i used Youlu and last i prefer Go Contacts!
