for some reason the time stamps are seldom correct on my text message inbox which is causing me to have to scroll down and hunt for it. I have the filter set to order received. I'm just picky and its frustrating. just thought to ask if someone else had the issue and found a fix.

I don't particularly want to have my phone locked and needing a password to get in, but at the same time, there are messages from some people I would feel better that someone who found my Hero couldn't read.
Is there any way to 'hide' messages received from certain contacts?
Did you ever get this sorted? As I am trying to do the same thing.
This apps purports to do what you want:

I've no idea if it works as advertised.

Thanks for suggestion, having looked at it I realised I miss read the original post.
I was trying to stop the first line of the text mesage showing on the lock screen or task bar when it is received. For example, on Winmo there is a checkbox for 'display message on screen', I have it unticked so I have to go into messages to read it.
Dont suppose anyone knows how to do that?
Sorted
Just in case there was anyone else wanting to do the same as me, I found an app on the marketplace called SMS Popup that does it.
Actually Handcent SMS does a better job.
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out this problem.
I can't seem to find a timestamp on SMS messages for any days other than the current day. So if I received a message at 7.01am today I can see "07:01", however if I want to look at a message I received a few days ago, all I can get is "Oct 3", and bringing up the menu and clicking "View message details" still only shows "Oct 3".
Is there a way to show the entire timestamp? This seems like a terrible oversight if it's not possible to see what time an SMS was sent/receieved for any day other than the current day.
+1. Incredibly annoying "feature".
I am sure it is available in the sms logs, it is just not being shown.
I guess they did it to remove clutter, in the assumption that people wouldn't care about the timestamp of messages from yesterday, but that is just not true. Particularly when it has just gone past midnight!
It is the recency of the message that is important, not whether it arbitrarily happened today or yesterday.
How about ChompSMS and those other SMS apps, do they show them?
Yep!
Handcent SMS is the way forward. The stock messaging app just doesn't cut it...
Every time I receive an MMS, a new message thread is created with "Online Album" as the recipient. When opening the thread, all I see is the text "Message not found".
Is there a way to disable this? I have no idea what made it start happening, but it's annoying to have to delete this thread every single time I get an MMS from someone.
anyone have any idea? I'm sorry it's just something I'm at my wit's end with.
I don't know how to fix this but I can tell you that it happened to me today. I was testing sending a picture to myself from computer to phone and got the message. I then took same picture and decreased the size/resolution and then had no problem, straight to phone. So it has something to do with message/picture size restrictions. Where is this on line album???!
This happens to me almost every time I get an MMS. And the contact info is always one of my contacts and never the same person, however it says "To Online Album"
Is there a copy of my MMS messages on the internet somewhere? If so, cool. However I would like to know where it is.
I get this from time to time when my wife sends me pics from her 3gs... i think it probably does have to. Do with the size

Hey Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right place, if not my apologies. But i have been experiencing some strange issues with SMS on my S3 recently and i can't put my finger on where the issue is coming from.
I'm getting a number of duplicate contacts in the conversation list, for some reason my conversations will randomly get split into their own threads. It's start to get incredibly frustrating to sort through. The screenshot shows the problem.
I had this on a much small scale a while back and managed to fix it for a while by doing a backup of my SMSs and then when i looked at the backups files i noticed that the address was formatted different between conversations. So i edited the file and fixed all the addresses manually, deleted all my SMSs and imported the backup and the problem was fixed.
But now it's happening again and attempting to do the same process again, all of the addresses are exactly the same so my previous method won't fix it this time.
Anyone got any ideas why this might be happening or know of a way to fix it? It happens in any SMS app (including stock google and the samsung one as well as any third party apps) it continues to happen after a complete wipe of my phone and starting fresh.
I recently got an SGS5, and I noticed something that has started to annoy me. Judging on what I can read online and from googling I am not the only one annoyed by it. But so far no one has actually provided a viable and working solution as far as I see it.
Problem:
I have several contacts with multiple phone numbers under them, and when I get texts from the various number it creates one new thread/conversation pr number they text me from and its getting to the point where it is getting annoying. Isn't there some way to fix or correct this?. ie where the phone defaults to respond to the last number it got a text from, from that contact, or that it simply defaults to sending a text out on the default selected number or asks?.
I am not looking for something or a solution that will merge all my threads back in time, but for something that works going forward so that all threads created from today and onwards gets merged.
I know Google Hangout apparently can do this, but I don't want to use Google Hangout as my default messaging app, and I am presently using HandCent in case there is a setting inside Handcent that I just need to set.
But I hope someone might have a working solution to my problem/issue & thanks in advance.
