how to expand all messages? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I need to take screenshots of this long conversation and tried the scroll capture but all my long messages need me to view all. Is there anyway to expand all the text messages always?

Picture and video size and send as mms

Hi,
I have the Atrix 4G and whenever I take a picture or a video, and send it as text messaging (mms), it always asks me to resize. Any still picture using the camera always asks me to resize. I would understand the video, but a picture.
Is this because the Atrix takes a picture that is high res that it would just send it through text messaging unless it is resized.
I am using Handcent and also the built in text messaging, and it will always ask me to resize and really a pain in the.......
Any suggesstions, or any settings, or any recommendations to just have take a pic and send....
Thank you
So just let it resize...what's the problem?
Every phone resizes its pictures before sending, most just don't ask. Even the beloved iPhones resize their pics (select a pic to send and at the bottom it'll show a message saying "Resizing" for a second). Why is this a problem?

How to preview incoming text messages for only select people in contact list

I do like text messages being displayed on the screen as soon as they come in. I've been using this app to display full images of Contacts: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androminigsm.fsci
But it sure would be nice to only have messages from important contacts displayed for preview instead of all incoming messages.
Can this be done, is there an app or setting for this?

[Q] Seperate notification tones for email and text messages...

....Can this be done because at the moment I'm getting the same notification for incoming emails and for text messages and it's really starting to do my head in constantly checking my phone to see if someone has text me, only to find a pointless email instead.
Please help as it's driving me mad.
Both your email and text messages are using the default notification tone.
If you want to change one, go into the app, press settings and navigate to notification settings. Both text message and email notifications can be configured.
Also for future - jump into the settings (within the app) to find out if you can change the notification sounds; i'm pretty sure most apps will allow you to configure it.
I too had the same issue and sorted it out few min back. Open messaging/mail/gmail. hit options and settings. Under Notifications, select the ringtone of your choice. Done!!

[Q] Separate notification sound for text message?

I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.

Can messages be expanded in AW1.5?

I just downgraded back to AW1.5. One massive feature I miss from AW2.0 is the individual text message notifications. AW1.5 groups them into one tab saying x-number of messages, then you can tap to expand into individual messages. I mainly use my watch when I'm riding the motorcycle, so I can quickly glance for important messages at stop lights. My riding gloves are pretty thick, so the watch doesn't always respond to expand the messages. On AW2.0, I could just flick my wrist to scroll through the messages. Is there a way to get AW1.5 to display each test individually so that flick gestures can scroll through them without having to touch the screen?
