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

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

Hey!!
problem solved with update to 2.1 it has 'mark' option for deleting msgs
I just installed GO SMS Pro and it works great but the problem is that of multiple incoming text message notifications. The stock messaging application as well as GO SMS notify so I disable the notifications of stock application but on the lock screen it displays number of unread messages though the messages are read already. The stock messaging application doesn't recognize that the messages have been already read using the GO Sms Pro. How do i disable it? I mean the stock messaging application and its lock screen unread message count notification?
Go to the stock messaging app, settings and disable "automatically read messages" or something like that.

It is called auto-retrieve... seriously, did you take any time to really look at the options instead of forcing others to switch the language of their phone to English?

Probably only temporary... the only real fix would be to uninstall the stock app which will likely screw your MMS (in case you are using it). (There is some Go SMS beta for testing here @ XDA with more complete MMS functionality in case you are interested.)

As said in the quoted message. (And frankly not worth wasting the time, given how useless the lock screen is.)
Auto-retrieve is associated with MMS got nothing to do with the unread TEXT message notifications

Well, as said, it worked here, otherwise I would not mention it. Let us just abandon this topic since obviously there is no solution beyond the mentioned one which involves uninstalling the stock app. (Or installing a ROM with a useful lock screen.)
Install both handcent and go sms... only keep the notifications of go sms.. thts it u dont get any sms notifications on your lockscreen.!!
use only handcent sms instead of go sms pro. this solved my sms count problem on the lock screen
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

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.

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!

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!
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.

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.

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 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...
