You can use 3rd party messaging app like go sms pro, it has the option for bigger and wider the area where you type your messages so you won't be scroll anymore.

[Q] Hot to send Picture text? (help please)

so if anyone watches vampire diaries,, klaus sends a picture text on his Gnote,
I CAN NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT
help is appreciated..
please and Thank you!!!!!
the episode was Season 3 episode 18 i think.. half way through..
he basically writes and clicks sends,, and the image got sent,, not a typed message.
so if he a word his handwriting would've shown as a picture rather then the typed word,
i have the note, and i would really love to be able to do that
There is a round about way.
In smemo write your message, then hit menu button, then share with and messaging.

Use GO SMS Pro as your messaging app. It's built in.. I use it all the time.

so when i tried that, it sent them a link to a website, which had to be clicked in order to view it.. so that isn't working.. any other suggestions?

if you want to use a pre-existing pic, just press the attach button (its a paper clip on the left side of the text input window), and choose from the options below
....or you can use the note to take a screen capture by holding the pen button and long pressing the screen, then draw/write on it and share via GO SMS Pro
.
ok i get that, but is there a way to free write and send it quickly? without going through allot of buttons,, is there a quick and easy way,, say i wanna just text with mms?
It depends on the phone. If they are a GO SMS user, they receive it directly, otherwise it goes as a link.
I guarantee that Klaus was using GO SMS on his Note. I saw the episode.

Weird Text Message Problem

STOCK HTC EVO 3D, Running ICS newest update, Using stock Message app
When I goto respond to a text and press the message area for the keyboard to pop up the text message window increases to a full screen window instead of the smaller window it used to.
Looks like this below, Anyone know how to change it back to the smaller window
Go into keyboard settings. I believe its under landscape settings which is weird why its affecting the portrait mode.

*Also this only started after I did the ICS update.

Hmm.. I though I remembered a setting for that. Maybe try a factory reset if you are willing too.

"New Message" notification change to contacts name

Searched the q&a thread going a few similar posts but nothing exactly like this.
Had anyone found a way with the stock text notifications to display the contacts name who is texting you rather than receive a message saying “new message" every time?
There has to be a fix for this...
Thanks in advance

I believe going into "messaging" then the menu button>settings>notification settings group and turn on the "preview messages" option, should do what you wanted

There is no way to do it on a stock ROM at this time.

You can also use the multi page lock screens that are part of 4.2 and add a communications widget or stock messaging
Widget.

Right. But that isn't what the OP wants. Although I'm sure someone much smarter than me who develops these ROMs will add the requested feature as on option.

Likes/Dislikes Verizon Galaxy Note 3

I have literally had my phone for less than a few hours. But I thought it would be a great idea to share likes and dislikes.
Little bit of background, I am coming from a Note 2, so most of my likes/dislikes will be catered toward the upgrade from the Note 2.
Likes -
Mostly Everything LOL,
the screen resolution
the vibrant colors,
super fast,
the plethora of options,
blocking mode finally works,
no wifi nag notification,
wifi toggle works.
Dislikes -
The internet browser no longer sync with google,
can not use multiple lock screen widgets w/password or pattern lock,
4x4 grid on touchwiz (will be switching to nova).
I will update my list once I get to fully dive in. But so far 9.9999999999/10
I had mine for about an half hour. The best thing so far to me is the settings screen is 1 menu instead of 4 tabs . Sometimes its just the little things
Loving mostly everything, but again have only messed with it for a short time.
Only gripes so far is font sizes and in general DPI is just way too big and obnoxious. And lag when typing on the keyboard.
Let's go root!

We need root ASAP lol.

Yep. One screen.
Keyboard is amazing, no need for swiftkey.
Id rather have the tabs so you dont have to scroll dow a huge list like on my note 2. But ghsts not a big deal. Im glad you can use blocking mode, and the wifi is back to normal.

I don't like that when you get a new message it says now message instead of showing the actual text and who its from

You can change that in the messenger app settings. Enable message preview and it will scroll the message in the status bar like normal.
I'm so jealous right now. I would have mine now too, if I didn't change the shipping address to the correct one. So they can't ship it until tomorrow. So i am going to call to see if I can pick it up later this evening...

Agree with pretty much all of the likes so far, which is mostly everything about the device. My 4G speeds seem to have improved too.
Some nitpicks:
-new S-Pen feels much cheaply made than Note 2's
-Flipbook keeps getting activated when I hit the home button and accidentally brush by the screen
-Screen brightness range is WAY TOO SMALL (minimum brightness is too bright)
Several complains: desktop view does not stay on. I do not see the Note 2 developers options. I cannot remove the Verizon bookmarks as I was able to do before and restore from a save.
I think u have to tap on something in the menu 7 times to get dev options to show up. Saw it in a review somewhere

Small gripes so far

So this is my first HTC phone and for the most part I am loving it. However, there are two things that I hate. For starters, on a Phone such as the Galaxy s4 or the iPhone, I am able to view who sent me a text on the lockscreen or who sent me a text even when the phone is secured. Now on the HTC m8, I dont get to see any of that. All I see is the number of notifications above the phone app or the messaging app. Also, I hate the fact that if I go into the texting app to view a few messages but not all of them, it will then clear the icon in the notification panel as well as the indicator above the app icon itself. It really makes it super easy to forget if I had any extra text or not.
Check settings lock screen, the m7 had a lockscreen view that showed texts. Haven't got my m8 yet to see if it's still there.

Try using google handouts instead of the standard texting app
You can view text messages on the lock screen. You have to enable it in the settings.

Go to Settings, then Security and click notification settings under lockscreen. I am using Sense 6.0 on the M7 but it should be the same. I actually liked the way this was handled on Sense 5.5 better than 6.
my g/f got the m8 for vzw.. my only problem which is stupid .. i would like to view screen on time.. with out the use of an app .. nit picking? yes
