200 SMS Limit and Contact Photos - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it looks like you cant have more than 200 text messages per contact? How can I change that?
Is there a way to disable the pictures in the contact list or message window? I'm not cool enough to have a picture of my friends.

1 - Where in the world are you getting that from, I have threads with 1000+
2 - use handcent

I'd post a screenshot if I knew how.
But under Messages, Press Menu and go to Settings.
Says, "Test message limit 200 messages per conversation"

Figured out that if you click "Delete old messages" then it enables those other options, so there is no cap by default, I was confused. I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm so used to have zero control and having my phone lock me out of this or that, so I need to learn to trust my phone again.

Exactly. And your coming from an IPhone, i forgive you

there is a limit per conversation
- 5000 SMS
- 500 MMS

google voice = no limit

I have both Google Voice and Sprint, and 5000 is an ok limit for me. I love Android. So much freedom!

At the top of the message there is text with yellow background that you can tap to make the email scrollable horizontally.

D'oh!
Thanks
Is there a way to set that up where I can always scroll right.
Seems like the way people would want it to be
One way I can think would be to use Vogue's central button to scroll right. Haven't tried out in an email, but works elsewhere.

Nah, I just gave her a try, and unless I clicked the Tap to scroll it just went to the next message.
Oh well no biggie I guess, thanks for trying.

Sending contacts using SMS

Is there a way to bring up a contact on my phone and then forward that using SMS? I have searched everything I can think of and haven't been able to find an answer. My wife uses me as her personal 411 and I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if I could bring up a contact she's asking about then choose and option to SMS send it to her.
Help please, if you have any suggestions.
you mean send phone number (contact) with sms ?
Yes.. exactly!
Andy... Where is the app for that screenshot?
Major warning guys
Do not click on the picture above as it sends you to a site that is nastily infected... just in case this only happened for me, please do not hesitate to delete this message... anyrate, just a friendly warning...
Also, yes please, tell me where we can get this extension!
This is a feature in WM 6.5 (or maybe it's 6.5.x) anyway - I know I can send a contact (or part of a contact, you get to select what exactly) by SMS or Beam (infra-red if you still have an irda port)
I can't screen shot (don't have the app installed) but have tested it - it works great between WM devices, however sending info to an iPhone results in absolutely nothing happening - so must be a WM native thing?
Aj
Im also lookin for something like this i guess i got into the habot after i used a nokia when my old phone was on the fritz i could send a contacts details to anybody and they would recieve it no problem. While my TP2 which is supposed to be such a "smart" phone cant send a contacts details??
try this, it's not perfect though:

Here my feedback:
a. This app is good, has a clear interface and is very simple to use;
b. If there was a PIN to protect SMS it would great.
c. The limit of characters in SMS is 60, right? If there was an option to choose the limit... My provider offers 160 characters.
d. The option to choose themes is blocked, it will be great if user can choose only one.

[Q] Messaging App

Hey is there a way to modify the default messaging app so it won't break up messages after 160 characters? I don't text folks on CDMA networks so that limitation is dumb and makes my messag es look stupid :laugh:. I really use the individual themes feature on the default app (prevents me from texts to the wrong person) so I'm open to suggestions of another messaging app (with individual themes too) that I can use to replace it. But if it could be hacked to make the 160 character break up stop I'd prefer doing that first.

I think you can change a setting to send messages longer than 160 characters as MMS instead of SMS.
What Semantic says. You can find it in the MMS section of settings. Found an interesting setting while I was looking for myself. You'll see it in the screenshot at the bottom...

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I have seen this on other forums but I have yet to see a way to get rid of it (that is, without rooting the device, something I want to try to avoid). Anybody have any ideas to prevent this pop up from popping up?

MAN, you posted the same thing in two different threads.
You need to be patient when you want your problems to be solved.

Go and check if your default app to send SMS is the Hangouts app.

The only thing I can think that this is a problem with your service provider.
Cause this is the first time a see something about our smartphone.
Call them and try to see if they know something about.
