SMS time stamps - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been wondering, is there any way to make the time i received the message appear? I can only see the current's day time stamps! I want to see time stamps about old messages i had received on previous days... I've tried various applications Like Quickmessage (or something like that), Chompsms and one more I cant really remember :/
I've searched for this on other threads and all the search results were about time error stamps..like wrong hours etc etc
thx a lot, hope you understand, wrote this in 2minutes cause I am watching DVD!

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?
same here 23 mb on start up - with app. s2u2, GPS, TomTom, call calendar, s2p,and more .....
runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?

Speeding up your phone

My phone was starting to get extremely laggy at times. I had thousands of text messages, so I deleted them all (it took hours). And now my phone is fast as hell. Not sure if this has been said before, but it might as well be repeated because I was getting really frustrated and didn't realize storing texts could slow my phone down that much.

And call logs too.
BTW, there is a free market app for deleting text messages in groups called "Delete Old Messages" - snappy name, eh? You can tell it to "delete everything older than 60 days", 30 days, etc. It works pretty well, even on stock Sense phones that are choked with text messages. If you have thousands and thousands of them it will go slowly, but in an unattended fashion - that's way better than deleting them thread-by-thread. It also has a progress bar so you can tell whether it is making any headway.
every try installing a task killer or memory app?

i had probably several thousand texts in there though, with pictures sometimes too

automatically resend failed SMS?

A family member has an android phone, and bad signal where they live, so a lot of outgoing SMS messages end up failing.
To my dismay I find out, basic functionality like, continuing to retry, like my old motorola did 10 years ago, isn't included in Android!
I searched and searched for an app to correct this, but I could only find ONE and it was paid and only had a handful of reviews so I don't really want to recommend it.
Surely other people have this problem, there should be more choices, shouldn't there?
Can anyone point out some apps to get around this?
thanks
I also live in a poor signal area and suffer this problem. It's annoying having to go back to the message, click on it etc to re-send. Like you I can't believe there isn't a simple app to do this, or rather it should be built-in. I have a HTC Legend. It's my first Android, and the first phone I've ever had that doesn't re-send failed messages.
Are there any apps that let you manually resent an SMS that failed?
Edit: I found that Go SMS Pro did.
I also saw a couple that claimed to automatically resend but I can't remember the names. You should search the market again.
I've found an app that does this:
CrowdSMS
That proves it can be done, but the app is mostly useless: it doesn't replace your stock SMS app because it doesn't display or show replies. All it does it send texts, then you have to go back to your standard app to read any replies. It sucks. The amount of timewasting and frustration I've experienced because android wont do this automatically is bonkers.
Galaxy S8/Others -Resend Messages - Frustratingly..... EASY !
It's so ridiculously simple, yet so frustratingly difficult to figure out ! ! !
Instead of holding your finger on the MESSAGE that failed, hold your finger on the EXCLAMATION MARK ! ! !
Then the "Resend" option magically appears.
Pulled my hair out for several hours until figuring it out !!!
:silly:
Have fun, everybody!

Messaging Problem

I've looked around for an answer, but I can't find it anywhere.
First of all, I have an HTC EVO 3D GSM.
I've had it for a few months now and noticed that the messaging app takes longer and longer to open messages.
The more texts there are, the longer it takes.
However, today the phone wouldn't open any threads, it would just get stuck on the "loading..." screen.
It's driving me insane cause I can't reply to any texts.
After that, all my contacts got wiped, no idea why. So I restored a v-card, however the contacts pictures didn't come back.
I'm considering doing a hard reset, but I really don't want to, because I've done it so many times with this phone. It's actually been causing me too many problems.
Does anybody know a fix to this texting problem? I'm willing to try anything, however I don't want to use a third party app for texting.
Should I just do a hard reset or will the problem come back after another month?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR. - I can't open messaging threads on the phone, it gets stuck on "Loading..."
How many messages were in your app before it started doing this? I find any time you get more than 1000 texts, it starts to run slow. At that point you should delete all your threads.
However, since you cant even get into it now, you may need to clear the data from the app in settings-apps-manage-messaging-clear data.
I would honestly do a factory reset. Or you could possibly have a malicious app on your phone that is causing those issues.
Evo3D.
Hate to bump this, but some people may find it useful.
The problem was that there were too many messages, so I used the app "SMS Backup and Restore."
If there's more than 500 messages, the app gets slow.
I had about 15000.. which explains why it kept freezing.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Google speech to text not working correctly

This appears to be affect multiple brands and models. About a 3-4 days ago it started deleting previous sentences or phrases and only leaving the most recent phrase you spoke minus the last word. Long delays as well. As mentioned, it is affecting multiple phones based on other comments throughout internet. Very frustrating!
Anyone have any thoughts, comments, fixes? Initially I thought it was related to the recent Maps update, but rolled back to older version and no change. Not sure about the recent change for Google Voice to Hangouts, but that seems like a possibility . . . .
I use this feature everyday multiple times so it is VERY frustrating and it is not getting any attention from Google on their support page. Any suggestions??
No one has this issue nor has anything to say about it??
Erasing text after a pause
My LG started doing the same thing a week ago. I have seen numerous threads on other sites that all say that their phone is also erasing text after a pause... no one has a reason or an answer as to why.
