Did anyone notice a way to view the timestamp in the call history??? I am only able to see the date & not the time.
Go to 'people'
scroll to the far right icon (call history)
Then on the person in question click on the icon that looks like a phone on a piece of paper
You'll see timestamps of all calls made to/from them...
How about for SMS?
Is there any way to see the time stamp for SMS?
Thanks!
Thank You!!!
I now see the timestamps on calls made. Our friend had a very valid question on timestamps on SMS..help us with an answer
No, only for current day. Everything else.. 'yesterday' etc etc. Even message detail does not show time stamp on texts other than current day.
thats really a dirty ****!
Don't use the stock messaging app!
Try 'Handcent SMS' and you'll see the time/date of each SMS.
It's a MUCH better app than the standard messaging app too... More features and very configurable.

Is there a possible a permanent texting program similar to the one provided by HTC where the picture is included with the text messages but that be the primary texting application. Instead of going to the old list of text messages and opening it. Have a picture next to the person your talking to, I sometimes forget who I'am texting lol I know it sounds bad but if i had the picture next the it at all times that would be cool

I'm guessing he wants to have his sms inbox looking like it does in sense 2.5, with the contact picture next to the message.
I would love to have this as well in my sms inbox on a regular winmo6.5 titanium rom, does anybody know if there is such a thing available? (with out using sense 2.5)
Try PocketCM contacts. You still get a list of messages per contact (which makes sense), but their picture is shown at the top of the list
Coming from the IPhone, there was one application to send and receive text messages. At my last count, my phone came pre-installed with about three different programs to send/receive texts.
So my first question is what program are you all using for Text Messages and why do you like that program over any other?

What is that one called...again new to android
If the one you are talking about is called messages...then I can't see how to use the S-Pen
My favorite is GOSMS it feature rich and its free give it a look on the Market.
My guess is you will also get recommendations for Handcent which I have used in the past. I think you will find those are the top two.

Yeah, GoSMS and Handcent are the big two if you're not liking the stock messaging app. Both are nicer in appearance, have more features and have plenty of free or cheap themes available in the market.
I am using Att Messenging for voicemail, but it also notifies me when I have a text. Is there any way to use it for voicemail but not text? I dont want it (att app) to notify me when i gets a text. I want my messenging app to do that instead. (i hope that makes sense)
I am in the same boat as you. I love the note, but I am not as comfortable with the fragmented means of doing things such as texting...Too many overlapping ways to do something simple like texting or emails.
Hell, I am having some difficulty in getting calls...I am not sure if I have the ringer too low, or what, but I miss so many calls it isnt even funny. I always go back and look at ringer volume, but it always appears to be where I left it. But when I am at my desk, it rings through just fine. It must be a volume thing...
But, I am having a fun time learning...

I use Google Voice. Free unlimited texting. It doesn't do mms, yet. But I rarely used that anyways.
I no longer pay for texts.

Does MMS still go through to your phone like it currently does? In other words, do all SMS go through Google, while MMS go through ATT?
If data is shut off mms does not go through. So yes, MMS goes thru ATT data even thou they say you are not charged data to send mms.

I wouldn't call it fragmented. There is more choices on the Android OS and that IMHO is a good thing. If you like the stock SMS app then don't install any other SMS apps. If you like GO SMS or Handcent be sure to turn off notifications on the stock SMS app so you don't get double notified.
I just don't think there is any fragmentation. The user can freely choose what works and doesn't on his or her phone.
I use the stock messaging app. I also use SMSNotifier from mapeapps.com. It does everything I need as far as repeat notifications and a few extras.
The problem is that you cannot turn off notifications in the "Att messages" app.

But it is one of the apps that can be removed...and added back from the Market if needed.

Yep. That's what I've done. I've frozen all sms apps except GoSMS Pro. No duplicate notifications and it all works as expected!!

I also froze att messages. My handcent app just would not do the pop up on lock screen. After freezing the att messages, it works fine now. I did not have to do anything with the stock sms/mms app. I installed you mail and better you mail and now have visual voicemail. Works great.

You can install the AT&T Visual Voicemail apk from another thread in general, I think. Then you remove att messaging. Then you have to call att, and have them reset your data plan to one with visual voicemail (even if it was already done). Then you can connect the visual voicemail app.
Alternatively, you can just use youmail, Google Voice, or Phone Fusion for vvm.
I'm coming from an iPhone 4 & one of the features I loved about it is the emoji/emoticons (smiley faces in text messages) I can send & receive with other iPhone/iPod/iPad users. Are there any apps I can send/receive emoji/emoticons with iPhone users (in otherwords, cross-platform)? I've read Handcent should be able to do this but won't be able to verify until my GNote arrives later today & activate it. Also, whatever new MMS messaging app(s) I download, I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one? Thanks & looking forward to jumping ship!
GO SMS and then download the emjoi plugin and go sms is better the handcent. Handcent has a problem with mms at times cool little app but go sms is fast and easy to use.
That was helpful!

Yeah, I just read about Go SMS while using the search feature but didn't know if it could do emoji's. Thanks for the info & comparison, I'll download that! I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one?
The stock messaging app is called "Messaging". I believe that GO SMS (which I also really like and use) actually gives the option to turn off the stock messaging notifications when you first download and open it (at least I remember that for some reason).

Hi guys,
Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?
Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.
Thanks xda, keep up the great work.

Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some of the talented devs here can get that to work with handcent in the future.

I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON
Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works

I have been using this method, too. I wonder if Tasker could mimic the effects of Smart Alert?
So, I used to use Handcent for all my SMS, MMS messages until recently. Too many bugs on updates and it just isn't reliable. Unfortunately Handcent had some good features I can't seem to get working (or even if they are possible) on the the stock HTC app. First is custom notifications for texts. Handcent you could select a different tone for each person you sent/received messages from. Very convenient to know if my phone was in the other room if it was my wife, or just a nitwit friend. The other option is a mark letting me know the other person (if they are a VZW customer) received the message or not. You can select an option to notify you but I don't need a second notification sound telling me the other person got it. The check mark is enough, but I can't get it to work without the extra sound. When handcent was installed, I got the notification of a check mark in the stock app without the sound, but the second Handcent was deleted it no longer worked.
I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing or something. If the phone is not capable of this, is there another app anyone recommends? It really sucks that Handcent has gone downhill.

AFAIK the stock app is very limited. Have you tried gosms? they offer everything that handcent has + more.
Hey man, thanks. Go SMS is similar with all the features I'm looking for. Thanks.
I had the same problems with Hanscent. Really liked it for a long time. Finally tried a different app for SMS. Take a look at CHOMP. I think it does all the stuff you need. I like it a lot.
