is there a way to edit the quick text list? need to change one to "Driving, call me if you can." legal to text and drive in my state. and if it requires a reg editor can you suggest a good free one.
For quick text, speak to your phone would be much easier then.
Touch the search button / touch the microphone symbol / speak:
"Send text to (phone number or name in contact list), pause, subject, pause, Driving, call me if you can.. Voice command will took a moment to process and asking you to confirm by displaying the SMS field, say yes (or) send
Just like that

Try this:
messages>pick a message>menu button>quick text>menu button>edit
That should do.
Hope it helps.

hey im kinda new with this and i just need to know how to remove that stupid bubble that pops up and makes a sound whenever a text is sent, if someone could give me step by step instructions it would be greatly appreciated thanks!
PPC Geeks has a nice thread on registry hacks. You need a registry editor like TotalCommander or Resco or one other is out there, but I can't remember. It's on the thread.
Link to thread if you want to learn more:

The info you need from the thread:
5-Disable the pop-up notification that says Message Sent rev.1
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
create a new key "Settings"
create a new string value "SMSNoSentMsg" and set the value to 1
Hit ok and select "Ok" to save and you are in business.
Thanks firefurby,
I was searching the forum to disable the pop-up notification that says "Message Sent". Your recommendation was exactly what I needed. It worked beautifully.
Thanks, now I have removed the iritating pop-up and alert.
How do I/can I make the area where I type my text messages have more space? Right now I can see a couple incoming and outgoing messages and about 1 line worth to type my message - I could care less if I can't see any. I need more space to type my message!

Are there ways to enlarge the sms typing area?
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...windows directory.
look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). change to 70 and get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.
*you need to soft reset after editing the file.

not trying to high jake your thread but its kinda related to what i would like to know,.......
is their away to make the keyboard bigger ?
Followed TechButterfly's suggestion and got the two lines I really needed. Too bad this does not work like the Palm Pre, which dynamically adjust the height.
Didn't want to start a new thread. So I thought I'd ask my text related question here. Is there anyway to increase the amount of text viewable before they are like archived, and I have to click older in my threaded text box
When writing a text message the 'Write message' area takes up the whole screen so you cannot see older text messages above the input area. Does anybody know how to reduce the size of the input area?
I have come from blackberry and find this one little niggle thats really quite annoying, not being able to see the text i am replying to whilst typing
Thanks
You minimize the keyboard by the button on the bottom-left. Then you can read messages again, and when you want to write, just tap input area again.
Hope this helps
or buy a phone with a bigger screen ;-)
But tje best thing to do is minimize the keyboard
It is because the send button appear when you enter the message, the button enlarged the input box. This is stupid design, so i use another SMS apps.
As the title says.
Scenario: A text message comes in, I pull down the menu and hit the name of the sender, and it takes me into the default messaging app to read my text. But as well as doing this, it automatically opens my keyboard ready to type a reply.
Have I missed something here??? I'm using Perfect Keyboard Pro, and wish to continue to do so.
It only does this on a new message, if I open a read message the keyboard wont open unless i press the reply button.
I hope its just a wee setting i've stoopidly missed, but any help is appreciated
AFAIK, this is the standard behaviour. When you receive a new sms, and go to read it, the keyboard pops out (to type the reply). When you go to see received sms, the keyboard pops out only if you tap on the text box at the bottom.
This for any keyboard you'd use.
Damn... wish there was a way to turn that off. .. och well...

i dont have this behaviour using handcent
yeah i think it must me stock messaging specific....
Hi people,
I have a very specific need for a very simple app:
It should be one button only on one screen, and one textfield only on another screen.
The function of the button is to send a predefined(coded into app) SMS to the number you input in the other screen(this number should autosave).
In other words -
Screen 1: 1 big button, "ACTIVATE" (when clicked, sends SMS "activate" to number)
Screen 2: Settings screen, one box only, for putting in destination number and saving it.
I have above average general computer-knowledge and understanding, but no experience whatsoever with app-development.
Can I learn to, and write this app simply myself, say in a day or two max? Or should I just pay someone that knows what they're doing because it would take me too long to learn?
I suggest that you go on your own. It is not difficult to code such an app and learning some code isn't bad at all. You can do it in one day if you're determined enough. Good luck!
If you don't want to learn to code then there is always my app SMS Bot Widget:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ubikapps.smswidget
It is a home screen widget only so you can't send a message from an app, only a home screen widget.

Your Widget seems to be 99% what I need..! Would it be easy for me to modify your code, to change the text and options on the settingscreen, and make the Widget just a standard picture?
Also, could I cancel the confirmation part, just have the text sent in background instead of the confirm-to-send?
Edit: What I really need is a cross between your widget and this app in its simplest form:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm51LmZkcC5TbXNfUkMiXQ..
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
OK, so I started trying out myself, using MIT AppInventor. I've gotten pretty far, all I'm missing is for the app to store what's put in the "PhoneNumber"-textbox. How do i make the app save the number for later, also when app is restarted?
Last thing, when I use a picture for button, how do i get it to be "shaded" when pressed? you know, so you know when your pressing it.
What am I missing to get these features?

OK, so I've found the TinyDB, and put in the "store value" block, however I don't know where to put the "retrieve value" to get it to retrieve as soon as app is opened.. any help?

My app isn't open source yet but I might put it on github or something in the future.
