I find SMS conversation threads amusing and useful enough but this is my work phone as well and sometimes I need to save and be able to easily access certain messages.
On my last phone (not Android, no SMS conversation) I could create folders, eg 'Saved' or 'Work' and when I had read an SMS I could delete or save to folder. I acknowledge that this is terribly old fashioned etc but it's functionality I would quite like to retain. Backing up doesn't meet the 'easily accessible' side of it.
Could anyone suggest an app that handles SMS in this way?
Cheers

handcent sms?

Yeah, thanks. I'm using that and it just doesn't have that folder, save an individual SMS functionality that I need.

So, I've fallen in love with Go SMS and its themability. My problem is that I mostly use Google Voice, but I hate the application. I also don't want to forward all of my GV messages to my phone, because that will use up my messaging plan and is not as well integrated.
I know that Go SMS allows plug-ins, such as for Facebook. Does anybody know if there is any way to integrate Google Voice into Go SMS? Perhaps make a plug-in for Go SMS that would do it? Is this difficult/impossible to do?
Thanks a ton!
No plug in as specific as you want for sure. The best answer is email the dev of go sms or whoever is making the plug ins. I have a string feeling that it isn't possible/allowed though, or someone would have made some app to do it.
I haven't looked for an app that can receive Google voice messages in a data form though.. if someone has done it, contact them. I think I would've seen an app like that by now..

In your GV settings you can have SMS notification rather than use the app....pretty sure that's your best bet, but not too sure how that will eat up your messaging plan any more than regular texts (that's all it is..a text of the VM)
IMO unless the dev of Go SMS can integrate the two your only option is SMS notifications from GV settings.
SMS notification instead of using the app...

Unless you have Sprint and unlimited data. Then you're all set.
Thanks for the tip!

Super old thread! Glad some are still using the MT4G. I still use mine just not an active phone.
I'll keep my eyes out for new posts on these old threads.

Hi guys
does anyone know some kind of program that would export SMS and MMS to excel format?
Do you want the header data or ALL data? In other words do you want the Who, Date/Time, and the contents of the text, or do you just want the Who/date/time info.
who/date/time/sms or mms
Ok so not terribly concerned with the contents of the text just that one was sent/received and if it was sms/mms right....
Let me do some looking/thinking...
I hope you know some useful software .
Not sure if direct linking is allowed so just fix the spaces I entered below or do a market search for any kind of sms/mms backup. I listed a couple I have used or know of.
SMS Backup +
sms backup & restore
I've not looked at this one but try it it looks like it will do exactly what you want..
w w w.androidzoom. com/android_applications/tools/excel-backup_muxu_download.html
I have used this one and did not even know you could read the backup data in excel.. WOW Learned something new!
h t t p s://market.android. com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
I am looking into my gmail account to see if the data backed up to it can be exported/imported to excel format since I have 3+ years worth of texts stored there form the backup programs. If we could run the program and then simply take the data directly from our gmail label that would be nice.
Ye i was thinking about excel backup too but i couldn't find it for free anywhere :/.
So no one know of one program that can save mms and sms threads?
What a **** os. Even Nokia has this omg.

Does anyone know how to remove the 1000-messages limit from motorola RAZR? It seems that we can't have more than 1000 messages in a single thread.
Thanks,

Could you please inform how many text messages are currently in your largest conversation?
I only use Handcent for my text messaging, but my Razr Maxx still keeps deleting the texts and calling each conversation at 1,000.
I'm going to post another thread, and I hope I can spark enough interest to get rid of this annoying limit. I actually need all my text messages on hand. I sell phones, and I can't stress how important my text messages are to the business.
EDIT : How can I get better exposure with this request? I would very much like to have this fixed. I'm willing to pay to have a solution. I use Handcent, and I need more than 1,000 texts per conversation. I didn't want to repeat this post.
A fix for this would be nice!
Do you think we should create a thread in another subject heading? I believe this is a reoccurring theme with a lot of the newer devices. I have seen that this is on the Droid 4, and it is not only on the Droid Razr Maxx.

I don't know if you can do this, but Google Voice. Complete archives of text messages, and searchable as well. The only problem is you would have to change your number.

I found only "Delete old messages" in Application Settings - and it`s switched off for me.

EDIT: I'm in the same boat as the previous poster.
That's crazy! What device are you currently using? What ROM?
I'm currently using an ICS leak Droid RAZR Maxx and all natural, except for the root. ICS is definitely not the culprit, as it was doing the same thing in GB. I'm also using Handcent with the delete old messages unchecked. I took a screenshot.

Hi guys!
1000 text message limit is a Razr Blur feature
"For anyone else who wants to get rid of the 1000 messages cap:
(DOING THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY OR POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR PHONE)
1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Handcent SMS' app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Messaging.apk' I my system/app. (info added)
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Handcent you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 5000 texts and then start deleting old ones."
The above tip was posted here.
I would recomment rename the default Messaging.apk instead deleting it.
Do at your own risk.
Cheers

I have read a few threads containing this idea, but I haven't had the intended results. I actually stopped receiving picture messages when I froze the default messaging app. If freezing doesn't work, then deleting would not have any better results, right?
yeah, i just disabled notifications from the stock app.
but i also did this on my sgs4g, and hd2.
i am using j.ydaddy's gsm patched gummy rom.
so ICS with GB kernel.
that's all i did before and never any problems

Why don't you use a SMS backup tool, which backup text messages to your Gmail account ?
I use SMS Backup + which let me backup SMS (text) MMS and Call log into my Gmail with corresponding labels.
I always have my text ect. with the searchable features Gmail provides
I'm looking for an app which allows free exchange of text messages, as a replacement sms (which cost money).
ebuddy xms looks ok but it requires a ton of permissions, which I don't like.
I don't need something too fancy, just simple text messages. Ideally should also be available for iphone/BB/nokia so it could be used with many friends.
TIA
Free text messages ? Do you mean free messanger?
I mean something which allows to send an "sms" which will popup on the friend's phone, but which is free.
messengers are good for chats and conversations. I just need something to quickly send a few lines of text now and then.
tel me wich is good msg application i send fast and free
Search google play for 'Handcent sms'

Thanks. Please see my original post: I'm looking for a *free* replacement to sms. Handcent is an alternative to the stock sms app, but the sms it sends cost money.
My bad, I misread.
Try google

Try Viber and ask your friends to install it aswell and then u can send free messages between Viber users

SMS Backup and Restore (get it from the Play Store) backs up SMS and MMS (including emojis) to a txt file, which you can then restore later on. It's even (fairly) easily readable by humans. It's not fast, but it's faster and more effective than any alternative I've tried. Highly recommended.
