[Q] Deleting messages at one go - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
It should be simple but I still haven't been able to figure out how to delete multiple msg from different senders at one go on my X10 stock msg app.
Is it possible to some how tick only the msgs you want to delete ???

You have to be in the thread, then press the menu button - more - delete thread. Or install MyPhoneExplorer on both the phone and computer which makes managing your messages, and phone a little easier.

Thanks..... but that one works for say I've 5 msgs from you. But what I mean to ask is how to I delete msgs from multiple senders at once( like in my Sony
k550i where you have an option like 'Mark')

You might to use something like Handcent has you can only Bluetooth with the stock application.

Handscent will also allow you to delete multiple texts too... in "Batch" mode.

+1 for this. Handcent allows you to delete messages in 'batch' mode and send business cards (sort of) via SMS. It also has a lot of other great features too. Well worth checking out - especially as it's free :-D

If u want to send a business card via sms, go to ur phonebook and select the contact as if u were going to call them, then press the menu button and select 'Send Business Card'

This method only allows you to send the business card via Bluetooth though, not via SMS.

HandcentSMS or GO SMS Pro?

Which do you prefer? And why?
I wanna know what y'all use.
I use GO SMS Pro 'cus it is a lot faster than Handcent, but there seems to be a limit to the number of characters you can enter in a text message.
Handcent lags a lot for me. It also delays the notifications by about 10 seconds. Though it doesn't have a limit to the number of characters that can be entered in a text message.
I'd also like to know if there's a way to remove the lag from Handcent... does anyone else have the issue..?
And.. is it possible to remove the maximum characters limit in GO SMS Pro..??
Thank You.
_peace_

Same problem with Handcent for me - lags like hell. I'm using Go SMS Pro now. It's very fast and i like the amount of things you can adjust. In combination with Smart Keyboard Pro it's the most comfortable messaging set up.
Go sms pro is better in terms of speed and functionality. So I prefer it over stock sms and other sms applications.
As for the character limit problem..... actually the limit for a single sms is 160 characters..... the limit is universal.... go sms just shows this and handcent dosen't.... it is infact a nice feature for people who don't have free messaging and want to see how many sms they are sending.

@anant I am not talking about the limit of 160 characters per SMS. I mean the limit that exists while composing a message in GO SMS Pro. Try copying and pasting a really long article from your browser & you'll know. Handcent doesn't have any limit regarding that.
I like to send real long text messages.

Same for me. Go sms pro + smart kayboard pro
i will definitely go for Go Sms Pro.
Just a week ago, my phone unable receive any sms. but i insert the same sim card in another phone, it does receive sms. i tried factory reset but the same problem existed. then someone suggested me use Go Sms Pro, this problem solved automatically.
regards your query, i think you can try this:
1. at inbox, press menu button and then select settings
2. select "send settings"
3. then check the "split large messages" box
your long message will be sent in mutiple messages.
Hope this can help you!
go sms pro.. the earlier version of handcent was good, but after some upgrade its become very slow and laggy..
Go sms is fast with >200 sms too

yeah i tried it...... it pasted properly...... or are your talking about the small message box?
Everyone seems to be missing my point.
What I am saying is, there seems to be a limit in the number of characters(or alphabets) that can be entered in textbox while composing a text message. Whenever I copy and paste a long article(I mean about 33 SMSes long), I cannot type or enter anything beyond that.
Handcent does not have that limit. :-\

No offense, but why do you send so long messages as SMS? This is a total abuse of the technology. I am sure that you could send these in email, or you can simply send a link to that article.

Yea. You are right. But that is not always possible, you know. Not "all" of my friends use a phone capable of receiving E-Mails, neither do they have access to the net on their phone.
Plus, I find sending an SMS a much easier way to communicate.

True.
But, E-Mails are not as accessible as SMSes in this part of the world.

Exactly.... sms is more easily than email accessible and can be received by anyone who has a phone...... be it the very old black and white ones or the latest galaxy s2!
totally speechless. think u can use more short forms in ur long long article
Darn. There is a 160 character limit in Go SMS Pro? I'm tired of Handcent and was actually planning to shift over to Go SMS. I guess I'll have to put up with it for some more time
The lag is just unbearable at times :|

don't worry man..... use go sms it's better......
and as for the limit that is the limit for a single sms...... one single message cannot be more than 160 characters...... it applies for handscent also.... in go sms it is displayed that's it it makes no difference whatsoever actually!

You can. Go to "compose". Start typing contact name, select from the suggestion. A comma will appear after the contact name. To add another, start typing the name again. Much like gmail.
yep, there's no checkbox-like interface though.

Hi,
Short answer: do not use stock messenging app. The limit is applied each time you launch it.
Using an alternative app, the (ridiculous) limit does not apply.
(Not sure your question has its place in the dev section)

Default messaging app not working properly, how to make third-party default?

So, the messaging app hasn't been working since I got my phone. Its a GSM razr maxx. When I create a new sms, and go to enter the contact name in, nothing happens-- I don't see any contacts come up. Even if I enter a phone number or name from my phone book, it says my entry was invalid.
Is there anyway to make another 3rd party app my default messaging app and have it appear on my lock screen?

I figured out why my contacts weren't showing up when entering contacts in a new message. Some stupid glitch in my "people" app. Under "contacts to display", nothing was checked under custom. Even though a custom view was NOT selected (all contacts was), this made it so nothing would come up in my messaging app (although my contacts displayed in chomp & my dialer just fine).
Although your advice will still come in handy because chomp is a lot better than the default app!
Haha .. Lolz ...
Thanks !!
Well that didn't work. When I send a message in my default app, it doesn't ask me to send in chomp sms.

I found a way to get it to work, using the same idea as what you suggested. After trying a third-party app to make chomp my default (didn't work), I thought of doing it this way.
1. Go to "people" app
2. Send message through people app
3. Select chomp to send message, and check the box to make it default.
A lot of people on other forums are saying to disable the default text messaging app. Maybe this works with other SMS apps, but not chomp. When I did this I could not receive texts. Probably because chomp works in conjunction with the default app.
Also, I did read that other SMS apps have an option within the app to make it default. Chomp should add this to make it easier. I did try a 3rd party app that controlled what apps are default, but it didn't work.
Well, now I am having this issue AGAIN. I tried out a few different sms apps to see what I liked best and upon reinstalling chomp I can not get it back on my lock screen no matter what I do... Making it the default app no longer works. Ugh so frustrating. I

[Q] how do i replace the stock sms app with go sms pro?

i want to replace the stock sms app on my k900 with go sms pro. how do i do this? i've already checked in the go sms app that it be the default messaging app but i still get double sms notifications and the stock sms app is still active. i can't find anything in the system or messaging settings that would normally turn off the notifications for the stock sms app just like in my past htc's and xperias.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the messaging setting you can turn off auto message checking and popup windows and notifications. I haven't tried but I think that should work. Goodluck

i already did all of that but still i get double notifications and messages. it seems that the system still prioritizes the stock sms app over a 3rd party one despite having the 3rd party app be explicitly the default SMS app. i've had partial success with textra. i still get notifications from the stock sms app but at least not a double message and i could just ignore the unopened text messages from the stock app until i have to open them at a later time. but i still wish there was a way of totally replacing the stock sms app. this app seems to be bundled/attached to the dialer and contacts app instead of it being separate and only able to "talk" to the dialer and contacts app. seems lenovo doesn't want the user to install any other app that tries to replace the ones that lenovo put in place. for shame in this.
in any case, this'll be my first AND last lenovo phone. i've been badly burned by this very simple yet intolerable (for me) experience. i think this goes against the android ethos of being "open" considering it's a "goolge" android OS.
can this problem be solved by rooting the phone?
No. The only way is to hard remove the app from the system/app folder. But you will be doing that on your own and at your own risk. It's not recommended..

Found a simpler solution it's almost stupid. It was staring at me the whole time. Went to settings>apps>contact manager. Unchecked notifications then pushed force stop and then disable. Replacd my dialer/contact manager with go contacts ex. Now, I'm happy. Didn't have to go through the mess of rooting and flashing a custom rom.

Try add new contact. Works? Probably no. If you want add new contact, you must enable contact manager again and disable after adding. A little uncomfortable. Do not delete contact manager (ideafriend) from system/app!
ist for dialer, contacts, SMS messaging and call log. The unfortunate solution. unfortunately.

it's quite the opposite everything's working fine. go contacts replaced the stock contacts manager flawlessly. i already added 2 contacts and edited more than half a dozen old ones. received and made phone calls without a hitch. like the old lenovo contacts manager never existed in the 1st place! now i can use my k900 with much more tolerance until i could to sell it ASAP and get me back to an xperia.

Interesting. When I unchecked Show notifications, press the Force Stop and Disable in Settings / Apps / All, calling through third-party application goes normally (tested to Go contacts and Ex dialer), but using these applications not join a new contact, I can not edit an existing contact. It just goes through the built-in Contact Manager. The same if I add a contact via SMS third-party application (for example Go SMS Pro).
Really? Hasn't happened to me yet (unable to edit) I'm using go contacts pro as my dialer and contact manager. Like i said before, i added and edited contacts without problems. Hmmm...

Go Contacts pro doesn´t work on 4.3. I try without Go Launcher, with Go launcher and nothing.
