[Q] Message count (sms) stuck at 200? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Is this just me or does the message sent counter (in sms app) not go over 200 for each contact?

Menu/Settings/Message limit.

Ah! Cheers man. Why is there a message limit in the first place?

Just to reduce the size of the messaging database, I assume. The search app can be set to search messaging text as well, and the more there are, the longer that will take.
It's a standard feature, but Moto's messaging app is the slowest I've ever come across on Android, so I figure every bit helps.

Got same problem here.
I don't know why it has 1000 limit. In my previous android phone (Motorola Milestone 1 and Nexus S), all of them can go to default SMS app and set it to unlimit. However, I can't set it by using the default SMS app on my Atrix. In the setting of the default SMS app, it shows that the number of each thread is limited to 1000. It is not allow me to set unlimit or more than 1000.
P.S. My Atrix is ME860. Is there some different with MB860?
Just want to keep the record, not info

Question about text messaging

Is there anyway you can make your text alert come up like an iphone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I use go sms, I think its similar...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yea. Go SMS has that option along with a ton more.

To clarify a bit: no, you can't get notifications this way right out of the box with a stock or AOSP-based ROM. But there are apps from the Market that will give you pop-up text notifications. You can use GOSMS as the other posters suggested, but if you don't want to use a different messaging app, there are also apps that will take over the notifications while you continue to use the stock messaging app to read and compose your texts. Search the Market for keywords "SMS notify popup" or similar and you should find what you're looking for.
Along with Go SMS there's also handcent sms which is similar.
If you want exact iphone replica messaging, then try chomp sms. I've been using it from a while and I love it.

Another vote for go sms, it's amazing.
Swifted from my Atrix.
my vote goes to Handcent
Gosms handsdown

[Q] Better way to group message

Does anyone know of a messaging app that lets you text a group of people, and then see their responses all in one thread?
Currently, when I send the same text to a group of people, when they respond, it goes into their individual chat thread history, but I want to see all the responses in one thread...
Thanks!
I think beluga does this iirc, but I'm not sure its still around (got bought by facebook a while back). I could be wrong, as I didn't use it much since most of the people I message won't give up SMS. ...

SMS customization

Is there any way to customize GO SMS or Handcent SMS to have it show the contact photos in the conversation itself? (Like on Stock Android)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I don't know about Handcent, but I can't find the option in Go SMS Pro.
The pictures must be already placed under the contact in the phone book. Then they will show up. (Gosms)
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I was referring to the conversation itself (bubble or list) . In stock in the convo. Itself the image appears next to the text of whomever sent it
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
They show up just fine for me. I am using handcent but I used to use go SMS and it worked fine as long as i didn't sync Facebook. Syncing FB caused issues
^ nice member! ..... sorry I misunderstood ur question.

This +1
Can't figure this one out. I think its as soon as the text become over 3 text lengths worth it converts to MMS.
I hope we could find a way in solving this. I'm not really used in abbreviating words that's why my messages would reach more than 3sms.
