I LOVE the integrated Messaging app in MIUI, but it seems like the conversation threads are loaded poorly.
Example: A conversation with over 4000 SMS.
The Application seem to load every 4xxx SMS for every action I do when i'm in that thread (like reply, scroll and when opening thread).
This results in 4-5 seconds loading and is really annoying.
Like any other SMS application, the messages are loaded asynchronously in a efficient way - why can't MIUI Messages do the same?
There is one integrated option, which allows you to fetch the 200 newest messages and delete the rest - not interested.
as far as i know no

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've been looking at alternative SMS apps because I wanted to get rid of the MMS showing as slideshows and it looks like the only one doing it properly (displaying the image and text inside the conversation view) is SMSdroid, which doesn't have many other functionalities. Is there another SMS app doing that? I tried GOsms, Handcent and ChompSMS but I could have missed their option to do so.
Another question I have is why so many SMS apps run a service constantly while some don't and still receive incoming SMS? I try to keep as few services running in the background as possible to save battery life.
hi
i am using pansi sms for sending msgs to a large group. it was working fine upto 950 contacts in a group but when the contacts increased, after i select the group, few seconds later it says "Pansi SMS Stopped working" and then after clicking ok it force closes the app. i removed the extra added contacts from the group means the number of contacts which were 990 again back to 950 and the app started working again.
what i think, there might be a specific time after which andriod automatically closes the apps if they are not responsive / complete loading data etc, so i was wondering there might be some way to increase that wait time after which andriod force closes some apps.
i hv tried all msging apps like hancent and go sms but i found pansi the best as it also shows inbox/outbox style and works much fast.
any suggestions / help is much appreciated.
thanks

you are right but i have already removed that limit now the issue is something else dear. its about andriod auto-closing the app after waiting some time when app is inactive but actually its loading contacts.
I have been using an old GO SMS version up to now, being very careful not to update it since they have removed the one feature I kept it for, the inbox. I sincerely hate the threaded stuff, I have hated it since it first came in Windows Mobile, and then on the HD2 and up. Pansi was great, but didn't work anymore because updating stopped. I have no interest at all browsing a box where I see the messages I have sendt, I want it to be like a mail program, not a social media thing (I don't even have Facebook or other social media...). So is there a non-threaded/unthreaded/inbox style SMS app out there? I have spent an hour on Play to find it, but failed.
I've used about every SMS app that's out there and I don't recall this being an option. Lemme just clarify though as it seems like an odd request to me (no offense - not odd bad, just odd different). You want an SMS app that only shows their messages to you, but not yours to them? If that's so, the only half assed work around I could think of would be one that has the ability to theme all components of the message and make the out going messages blend in to the background.
So you haven't been around very long, then? That was the only way until around 2008 for smartphones, when Windows Mobile 6 came with threaded messages. Until now there's always been apps that supports it. Basically I want an SMS app that doesn't use threaded messaging, so I can go into an inbox and see the messages I have received, not the one I have sendt, yes. But blending in doesn't help, the main thing isn't the separate "conversations", it's the separate inbox where I only see the text of messages I have received, nothing else. So just like the inbox of MS Office Outlook, if that helps. Or like K9 mail for Android, if that tells you more. I just don't see why what's widely considered the efficient way to do things in mail is so different in SMS. Almost all mail programs has one inbox and one sendt box.
With the advent of desktop messaging, I'd like to use Android Messages as my default SMS app. One main feature still missing from Android messages is the ability to auto delete messages once a thread hits a certain number of messages. I find that my sms database gets too huge and can slow things down. Are there any apps that will cleanup sms messages like that? I assume it couldn't be done automatically since I'd have to make it my default sms handler to work, but running something like that occasionally would be fine. Cleanup by date older than x isn't great since there are some old threads I want to keep, I'd rather do something like a max of 250 messages per thread.
I guess based on the lack of any replies that there is no app that can do this. Seems like a good opportunity for someone.
