Is there a to have messages count as "read" (i.e. decrement the messages waiting counter) when using the touchflo preview screen. You can scan through messiges when thery are still in the envelope this doesn't change the new message counter, you actually have to open the message to reset the counter. I'd like to have messages count as read when I flip through them in their envelope rather than having to open spam messages that I dont want to read.
That would be nice. Or be able to delete from the mail tab. Right now, so I don't have to open spam, I hit inbox and then hold down on the message until I get the delete option (if it is at top of inbox, you can just hit delete softkey). Anybody else have a better way or an idea for a hack like mentioned?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 you can put "mark all as read' with this .cab
Edit: noticed you said flip through them :/ i would like to do that also
Yes. I like that cab as well, but it would be cool to have more functionality from the mail tab, without having to open inbox. Right now when you hit menu, you have 3 options (New Mail, Accounts, Send/Receive). It would be awesome to get Delete, Mark As Read, Reply, Forward, etc.

I second this request. PLEASE, if someone could develop a tweak, cab, add on, etc that would add all or some of these features. I guess this is directed at HTC, carriers, and/or xda cooks. TIA to anyone who gits 'er dun
I'm having a problem, when I send a text to someone and they reply,their message goes above my message instead of below.my message. So instead of in order like my message and then theirs and then mine and then theirs stand and etc i have to keep scrolling above all my messages to read theirs, and the time on text says like 6pm when it is 10pm . i dont know whats wrong i just bought it 2 days ago and have problems with it

Can I suggest that you solve this the simplest way -- which is by using one of the highest recommended APPS out there? Handcent SMS --- It gives you complete and total customization control over every aspect of the interface of both the text entry/ conversation space -- as well as the list of conversations -- including:
control over the issue you want: inverted order
But also: background color (or image), sender text bubble color background, sender font type, font color, font size; receiver text bubble background, font type, color, size -- and DATE font, color, size, as well as spacing between items.
As well as overall theme/skin --- such as "HTC HERO" style or IPHONE style or ANDROID style or HANDCENT style or custom.
And all of the above font and color controls are settable for the CONVERSATION LIST as well...
Hope that helps. I actually don't know if the native app or HTC app has that inverted flow control or not.
First thing to check is your time/timezone. If it's wrong, the phone will think you sent the message later than the reply and put the reply before your outgoing text.
I had this myself so I know it can happen.
the time and time zone is correct i checked . its wierd cuz in normal phones messages goes down and on my desire i have to scroll up to see it
I have a same problem here, but not for all messages. Only for those coming from specific network(s). I think the problem is in their SMS server time settings. It's annoying sometimes, but I can live with it ...
When someone sends me a message from my provider, it's all fine...
EDIT: There's some fix here on XDA for those from USA (if that's the case). Try searching the forums...

Its really because HTC have coded their messaging app to read the time-stamp of the SMS. The time-stamp that was assigned by the server that it came from, which could be hours different from your time. Its been a known problem since the beginning of sense UI back on WinMo! Most other phones/apps just use the phones time as a time-stamp. When the message comes in, its stamped with whatever time is currently on your phone.
Take quicksites recommendation and get Hancent, its an awesome messaging app.

or

a sms logo with like 3 in a small circle (depicting missed sms)
etc
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Try with "Missed it!"

this program isnt bad at all
you also could try those home programs like ADWlauncher etc as you can customize them accordingly
Just a shame that Missed it only works with google email as i have just found out

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

I'm a new GNex owner, and having used other Android overlays such as HTC's Sense, I was wondering if it's possible (if there are any mods possibly?) to do:
- Link Facebook status updates with contacts
- Link Facebook pictures with contacts
If the two above are not possible:
- When setting a 256x256 picture that is good quality as a contact picture, is there a way to have it remain good quality? Every picture I assign contacts looks like crap and pixelated
Adding on:
- Is it possible to create folders in the app drawer?
- Is it possible to change the color of a new message in the text messaging application? When you get a new text it's white instead of light grey, and it's hardly noticeable which conversation is the new one.. is there a way to set the new conversation (in the message inbox overview) to say a light blue that matches the rest of the UI? Or even have a notification beside the message (where it displays all the messages) to let you know which one if the new message?
Thanks.

**I believe there is an app called hacksync or haxsync (not sure on the spelling) that lets you link up contact pics through facebook. having never used it I can't tell you if it is in the store or here on XDA. I would do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.
- When setting a 256x256 picture that is good quality as a contact picture, is there a way to have it remain good quality? Every picture I assign contacts looks like crap and pixelated
**Unfortunately this is a problem on Google's end. The servers they use to store contact information on have very low picture resolution. like 96x96 low. Solution: in the account settings, turn off sync google pics or use hacksync

Or even have a notification beside the message (where it displays all the messages) to let you know which one if the new message?
**Neither one of these options are possible unless your rooted. even then I haven't seen a mod for adding folders to the app drawer. It could be out there but I doubt it. There are mods for changing the apperance of the stock msg app but you are limited to whatever the themer wants it to look. (I actually feel the same way about the calender ut so far I haven't seen a good replacement theme for it yet). however, if you want full control to customize your SMS the way you want, you can either download GO SMS or Handcent SMS from the store. Both offer full customization for all aspects of the application.
I hope this helps

Alternate SMS apps can surely configure colors.
Thanks for the responses.
I downloaded HaxSync and it's awesome! The pictures are good quality and it shows recent activity from my contacts.
I'm going to try an alternative messaging application. If I have two messaging applications open though at the same time (does the stock messaging app run as a background process all the time?), will it slow my phone down?

It will run, and is required to fetch the messages. It won't slow anything down.
Go launcher EX allows you to make folders in the app drawer i believe.
I havent used it for a while but its a really good replacement launcher and has tons of features.
You might like that.

It'll be fine mate, just remember to turn off the notifications in the stock messaging app.

Not at all. Just disable notifications in the stock app and you're good to go with the replacement.

And how exactly do you do that?
Is there a way to ungroup messages in GMail? It keeps adding all messages into one message from one sender..
I don't think so. That's the whole point of Gmail, it threads messages by subject.
Yes You Can..

By default, Gmail was originally designed to keep all the messages and replies with the same subject line grouped together in one convenient place. While this “conversation view” was intended to spare users the chore of rooting around the In box for a particular message in the thread, it can be unwieldy when a lot of people are contributing to the conversation.
Google realized that not everybody likes having the messages clumped together, so Gmail now makes it optional. To ungroup your messages, log into your Gmail account on the Web, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose Mail Settings. On the General tab, in the Conversation View area, click the button next to “Conversation view off” and then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the settings page.
