I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!
I've been unwillingly receiving some advertisement sms which charge my account once the sms is opened.
Is there a way to delete an sms message without opening it?.
TIA

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, maybe some kind of code you can send to your operator/advertisement-sender which can stop the automatic messages, i know that kind of msgs sucks just find a way in google, i know different users experience that alot
You can download "SMS Popup" from the market. However you will need to manually configure it into "Privacy Mode" (or something similar). Once done, you will get a popup everytime you get a message, along with 3 options to "Open Message", "Delete" (without opening) or "Go to inbox".
I had the SMS POpup on my stock ROM but don't need it now on MIUI...
Thanks.
Are you sure it doesn't open the sms?
The android market page for this app reads:
NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read"
so as far as the mobile carrier is concerned, the sms has been received & read, so it will still charge for those spam sms.
@mike,
pls refer to my previous post - the app opens the SMS by default - but once you go to settings and enable privacy mode, it won't read the msg. A message is not marked as 'Read' as long as it's in privacy mode and you don't specifically open it. (Even the LEDs will continue blinking till u don't open the message)
It's a free app, so u can download and check that out.
Thanks for the info
If your with vodafone phone the operator and they will ban the number from your sim

SMS popup is nice, but does it show a history of all the sms, like the stock sms app on A2.1 does?
Also, to avoid duplicate notifications I've unchecked the "notifications" in the stock sms app, but it no longer shows incoming messages in the messages log. is this a bug, or is this related to sms popup "hijacking" the sms?
TIA
My S3 automatically changes a test message to an MMS once it reaches 3 messages long. Is there any way to change this so that it will always be sent as an SMS regardless of its length?
Thanks
That's the usual way the stock sms app behaves.
If you want to prevent this, you have to use another sms app like for example "GO SMS" or "Handcent SMS"
I've been looking at alternative SMS apps because I wanted to get rid of the MMS showing as slideshows and it looks like the only one doing it properly (displaying the image and text inside the conversation view) is SMSdroid, which doesn't have many other functionalities. Is there another SMS app doing that? I tried GOsms, Handcent and ChompSMS but I could have missed their option to do so.
Another question I have is why so many SMS apps run a service constantly while some don't and still receive incoming SMS? I try to keep as few services running in the background as possible to save battery life.
Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.
