Was wondering if anyone figure out on how to turn ms touch or ms scroll or whatever it's called, off.
it's a great feature, however i like spb's pocket plus's implementation better.
it's frustrating, it's a living hell when trying to select multiple messages on my inbox, and almost impossible to highlight text in messages.....
any clue on how to turn off this feature is appreciated...

I use SuperAlert to give me repeating alarms for calendar and task notifications. Unfortunately, it doesn't do SMS notifications, and I miss some due to just not hearing it or being away from the device. Am I the only one?

it's the most annoying thing about this phone. you never know you missed a call unless you actually go look at it.
i want it!!
I used to miss SMS's too, but found a neat little trick (and it's free too)
Just go to settings, notifications and select Inbox:New SMS Message, then tick Flash Light and set No limit in the duratins box. (I've done the same for missed calls myself) and if the light is flashing (three times as fast as usual) I have either a missed call or a new SMS
Work great on both PocketPC 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003

I get a large number of SMS from various people with a similar subject that I would like to filter straight to deleted and not get notified of.
I do need these messages once a month so I need to be able to turn off the filter, but the rest of the time they are just extremely annoying.
If I had the filter ability like in Outlook it would be perfect, but is there such a function or ability on the HD2?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Here is my pseudo-complicated situation: I have a gate sensor at the front of my property that communicates wirelessly to my automation system. The system can then notify me via text or email anytime my gate sensor is tripped. I would like for my phone to simply act as a doorbell by just making a sound anytime someone drives through my gate. So far I have accomplished this but unfortunately for my organized & partially OCD brain, my phone's notification bar is overloaded with messages that I have to clear several times per day. Basically, I would like for it to make a sound but not to show any icon or notification in the pull-down notifications menu.
I have tried several SMS apps (Handcent, GO SMS Pro, Chomp, Textra and stock) and have been unable to find a way to accomplish this. The closest thing I've found is to use the "privacy inbox" on several of these apps that allows me to place any messages from the automation system into a different inbox. I'm able to give it a different sound, different icon and different (or no) LED blink color. Unfortunately, this still leaves my notifications pull-down menu riddled with alerts from my gate sensor.
I don't know if there is an Android-based work-around or if anyone can recommend a decent SMS app that would give me this option. I have tried the same thing with email but not only do I run into the same problem, but the delay in the syncing of the email defeats the purpose because the person will usually already be at my door before I hear the tone. Because of this, I would like to stick with the SMS method.
There may also be another option that is outside the box that I have yet to consider.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've searched around and I think the keywords are a little too generic to find what I'm trying to do.
When I'm using the messaging application (SMS) to speak to somebody else on an Android phone it keeps switching between SMS and 'chat'. It flicks between the two and slows the phone down, plus I don't really want delivery notifications or anything like that. I just want to send good old fashioned text messages. I have also found that 'chat' can be quite flakey, I have sent a few 'chat' messages to a friend who received them all 12 hours later. I'm constantly having to tap the menu and press 'Switch to SMS'. Irritating...
I've gone through the settings in the messaging application but I can't find any way to disable 'chat' all together. Am I missing something blindingly obvious here?
Thank you
Lately, I've been noodling how I can improve Samsung's Send SOS ("Send help" on the S5) feature using Tasker.
Some background: Since the S5 and perhaps earlier, the Galaxy line has a built-in Safety Assistance feature. When switched on it can be triggered by pressing the power button three times quickly. The phone then switches on high accuracy GPS and creates two texts ("SOS!" and "I need help") with this location data. It also records a 5-second audio clip and takes a photo using each the front-facing and rear camera. These five texts are sent to pre-designated contacts (up to four).
Whether hurt in an accident or facing a bad outcome with a criminal or a cop with an attitude, this feature could is useful. Still, I'd like to enhance it:
- a more actionable "help" message, e.g., Google street address approximation or key instruction;
- a longer recording that is shared and backed up to the cloud.
This looks like it should be easy for Tasker to handle. I created a profile triggered by a notification that help messages are being sent. After the initial text, I used the Recordr app, which has a Tasker plugin to record, then stop after two minutes. (I don't reverse this order because I don't wish to delay the instructional message. Who knows what can happen if I wait?)
It saves the recording in a file with a 15-character name based upon date and time, e.g.., DATE_TIME.aac.
Haven't tried Tasker's record media
A1: Send SMS Number xxxxxxxxxx Message: Avenge me!
A2: Recordr Configuration Record
A3: Wait 2 minutes
A4: Recordr Configuration Stop
My messaging app, Message+ (no judgements, please), automatically sends in Group messaging mode, which allows potential coordination by my "saviors." Sadly, some services may not respond as I'd like. Google Voice and Metro PCS recipients do not use Group mode. Short of having everyone switch messengers -- a very personal and unlikely option -- the only solution I can think of is to warn everyone that some people may not receive or respond in Group mode.
Another issue: Not knowing the file name, I'm unsure how to go about sharing the longer recording. I'm leaning to not having to know the name and using AutoShare or AutoInput to get this done. Also: Any thoughts on what's long enough? A crime is probably less than a minute, an accident needs little time like location info, and a traffic stop can take a while unless things go south quickly.)
My questions:
1. How can I retrieve and send this recording to a contact or point to a link online?
2. How long a recording do you recommend?
3. Any other ideas on what to add?
4. Rather than wait for the Send notification, which waits until after the location has been determined, is there a way to trigger off the initial button presses?
