Hi everyone, used to have a wildfire running CM7 so I have two questions someone maybe able to help with:
1) On the stock gmail app, I don't seem to get automatic nofitcations. It seesm like only manually refreshing inside the app will get it to look for new messgaes. I've turned off auto-sync, but I assumed that it would obey it's ruels of syncing every 30 mins, doesn't seem to look for new mail by itself.
2) When writing text (SMS) messages, my old android phone used to suggest full stops, question marks, commas, etc. after pressing space after a word. It used to automatically capatilize words after full stops, amongst other features. Now all those features are gone. Any ideas?
I'm running sensation ROM, can anyone confirm these features work properely on the stock rom, or suggest any soultions?
The built in GMail app doesn't have that feature. Use the Stock Email app for that.
And what is that Auto Suggestion feature are you talking about in SMS? I'd really like to have something like that.
Regards.

I'm pretty sure the SMS auto suggestion is a feature of android 2.3? So it should be found on pretty much any stock rom (unless it was part of CM7). Also, that's a shame about the gmail app, i guess I'll use the stock e-mail app instead.
Or the K9/Kaiten/Mail Droid/Enhanced Email, how many shall I mention? I don't like any of them anyway
I'm starting to think the word/punctuation suggestions in the messaging app were custom to CM7... I've tried three different roms, and none have had this feature.

hi, I'm not familiar with Android, but when I used WM, my old phone had HTC Sense too
And made an editing of registry key, I could force the phone to mark a new SMS
as read after few seconds, when I just looked on Sence SMS widget, not even
opening SMS app...
Is it possible to get the same functionality on 3vo? Stock rom for now.

First, welcome to Android! I switched from WM almost 2 yrs ago and haven't looked back!
Interesting registry setting on WM. I haven't heard of or seen anything for the Android. Android def doesn't have a register as its based on linux and not windows. Also, as a technical sidenote regarding how Android functions, the system sends a broadcast when a text message is received. Any application can grab this broadcast and use it to trigger an action. The messages are usually stored in an sqlite database on the device by each messaging app. Marking the message as read after a set time interval does sound like a simple request. I would suggest looking through the Android Market as I would think there would be a solution there.
There are also 3rd party messaging apps so the user isnt *stuck* using the stock messaging app. Perhaps one of the popular 3rd party messaging apps provide this setting.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for reply! I know the basics
But keeping an application which is monitoring messages all the time to clear the status
seems not the best solution.
I thought that Sense for Android can make it itself, as Sense for WM can do this!
Probably, as well as on WM, it needs a little tweak
I'm curious to know what instant messengers other people are using.
Currently I'm using trillian, and I like it, however I'd like the option to get a notification when certain contacts login (but not every contact). Is there any app that does this?
It would also be usefull if it supported multiple protocols, I'd rather not have multiple i.m. apps running at once.
tried IM+....only other multi client I know of with a decent gui...not sure about individual alerts based on contact
Should try talk.to. Amazingly simple UI and works really well.
https://market.android.com/details?id=to.talk
I forgot to mention, I need to use a messenger that works over data and not sms since I don't have a messaging plan. also I read this comment under the talk.to comments section "Changing the status of all my accounts to a Talk.to promotion without asking is completely unacceptable, and a shame because the app works great."
I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
Hey guys,
Im new to Android and have a question about SMS alternatives.
I am coming over from a jailbroken iphone and have found the stock ATT S3 messaging app to be adequate but I miss some features.
Specifically I recently had a pop up reply box that I obtained with BiteSMS. Are their any well built SMS apps or tweaks that would provide this functionality for a ICS device?
Or, please let me know if there is something I can do to improve my SMS experience by making messages quicker to reply to. I find I often miss messages and dont like opening the app to reply.
Thanks.

That'll give you the popup/reply box you're on about.
It's very customisable
+1 for go sms pro, it is highly customizable and best of all it is very fast when compared to others such as handcent. :good:
Handcent
Chomp SMS
Go SMS
Or if you just want the popup you can go with SMS Popup
You'll find that the only parts of the operating system you cannot change through apps is the low-level stuff including Settings and the Notification bar.
Everything else (including Launcher, Keyboard, Equalizer, Contacts, Dialer, SMS, Email, ...) is fully customizable and replacable through Apps in the App-store without having to root your device.
Usually the Apps by Go Dev (including Go SMS, Go Contacts, Go Launcher, Go Weather, ...) will bring all the features you need and plenty more while being fully themable.

Thanks for the tips guys. The Go apps may be a little bit cheesy for me, but I haven't looked through the options. I used handcent a couple years ago on an evo and it was fine. I think sms popup may be just the thing I need.
Go SMS Pro ，cool app . i am currently using
+1 for gosms, so customizable.

guys I have a question: does the stock messaging app NOT have an option or setting or something to tell it what to do with embedded links? when I press on a link, the response options I get are for the whole message [like save, forward, whatever] not for the link. it doesn't seem to recognize the link even though it is properly highlighted...
I was hoping to get out of the "two competing messaging apps" cycle but gosms at least knows what to do
if you are rooted then just delete the stock apk and keep gosms.
Have you seen the same problem with the default msg app?
never used stock. i use att messaging on cm9.i like having voicemail transcribed and messages all in one app. embedded urls work fine with it. also work on google voice. thats why i suggest just deleting stock. there are better ones out there. like you said gosms works fine.
