hi xda members,
i'd like to know if is there an app the backups the text messages (sms) right after you receive them? i mean the sms arrives and immediatly the app backs it up.
thanks
There is this one app that backs up all your mesages into an xml file
but i am not aware of any app that backs a text as soon as it arrives
Sry :/
SMS Backup And Restore from the Market is as close as you will get. You can setup automated backups. I have mine set to do a backup overnight, that way all the texts I get that day are added on to the XML file overnight.

Hey is anyone having problem with sending long text messages?
I experienced it earlier... reboot still didn't do it. Very strange. Ended up calling but only to find out my text actually did get sent even though I got the "cannot send" message.

I'm assuming you're on a CDMA network which limits you to 160 characters in a text. To overcome this you'll need to go into the settings of your text message app and have it split larger messages into separate ones.
Hi all.
Have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and using go launcher. Wanted to know, after having searched xda as well as Google, how to either - disable the deliver report sound OR disable the deliver report screen wake up. Its annoying when constantly texting a conversation to have to discard the notification of every sms received.
I like the implementation of the stock ics delivery report (just adds a tick mark to the sms) but the stock ics messaging app doesn't search threads by person. Only searches the messages. (So if there's a mod for that to enable search threads by person name as well then perfect, will ditch Samsung mms/sms app in a heartbeat).
Thanks
Kunal.

Try other sms apps in play store.

True but other apps don't replace the Samsung stock app. They just overlay it thus wasting precious resources. (As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Give it a try. Android quite good in handling resources. If it really cripple your phone, then just uninstalled it and find other solutions.

Have already tried Go sms or whatever the name is. Best sms I've found is the stock ics app but as stated in my 1st post, it for some reason doesn't search by threads only by messages. so if I have a thread with you, a search by your name won't yeild the thread as a result. only such messages where your name is mentioned will be shown. If there's a mod for that then that's perfect. Much better, lighter and faster app than the stock Samsung app.

Any senior member knows a hack for this? Come on I'm surprised the delivery report tone and wake screen hasn't irritated anyone else?

I, on the other hand, prefer to use any other SMS than the stock one, but any other program will not disable the Delivery Reports.
It is very annoying that everytime you send out a message you get a "message delivered" reply, that I have to keep erasing every once in a while.
I have posted several times, in several forums, looking for an answer to this but apparently everybody enjoys knowing their messages reached their destination, as nobody seems to care.

To disable Delivery Notifications open Messages app --> Settings --> SMS Settings ---> Uncheck delivery notifications...
That disables delivery notifications. I like to know that the message is delivered. I just don't like that it sounds out like a normal sms and wakes up my screen. Just a tick on the sent message or a silent delivery report without the screen wake up is perfect. (Like in the stock ics mms app. However in the stock ics mms app one can't search for threads only for messages, while in the Samsung mms app thats possible).

This post is very old but if anyone had the same problem, just use the app "Messaging Notification". It solves the problem.
Thanks! This app is great! To recive proper funcionality I set "Silent" a ringtone in SMS app (to keep showing the SMS in notification bar) and everything else (the ringtones) I set in this app.
Why do some of my contacts show up when I'm typing the names in via text to message them show as fake email address? I've sorted my contacts I don't how many times and everything is legit and correct
No misspelled names,wrong numbers anything like that? I'm on stock Rom that's not corrupt. ..my contacts are linked with my facebook but I've unlinked them in the past and no change?
It's very annoying trying to text "mom" and it comes up as an email I've never seen or heard of before
Or I try to add multiple contacts to a mass text and the entire message never sends

So yesterday, my wife texted me and I noticed that the conversation with her was completely empty (other than her most recent text she just sent me). My questions are:
1. is there a limit to how many texts I can have in a single conversation(I want to say there were maybe 2000 texts before it "reset")
2. Not that there was anything super important in there, but could I go about retrieving those texts?
thanks for any help

What SMS app are you using? Native AOSP and Google Messaging removed the ability to put limit to the messages count. So you can expand it up to 10,000 or more and it will still be there.

Is that 10000 per conversation? Or all together? I am using the stock Android messages app I believe.

I am not sending a group chat. In one conversation with 1 person, is there a limit to how may text can be sent between us before android messages automatically deletes all of them.

It's basically unlimited since they removed the option to limit it. So I guess what happened to you is a little glitch. Try piling up messages again.
