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...

For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.
I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.
Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.

I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.
It's to do with the version of jbed on the phone there is a thread about Google Java app that says about this

Yea thats true..
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!
Hi all,
I use a custom theme that is just a hodgepodge of things I liked from other themes, plus my own touches.
Recently I've noticed an issue where certain text boxes will appear with black text on a black background, making the text invisible. If I click in one of these boxes, the background will temporarily turn white and I'll be able to see the text, but it means clicking on each box that looks like this.
I'm experiencing the issue in multiple apps, but not all.
Here's the problem for a contact. Notice that the first name and phone number are not visible:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it doesn't always present an issue. Here's GMail looking fine:
Can anyone tell me which XML entry (or entries) I need to update to fix this?
Thanks!
Your skills probably outreach my own but I think its in values/colors.xml in either com.htc.resouces or systemui. Should be one of them if its a shared value.
This might be tough to track down. What Rom are you using? Do you notice it more in third party or market apps as opposed to system apps?

Sorry - I didn't realize how little info I included in my original post
I'm using CM7 nightlies and this is a Theme Chooser theme. I don't notice any pattern between system apps and non-system apps, but I've switched back to an older version of my theme for now.
I've been able to narrow it down to a point in time... I have one working version "before" and one broken version "after." Now I just need to comb through them to figure out what I changed... then evaluate each change to see which one caused this.

I had an issue where I couldn't see MMS from T-Mobile users (T-Mobile users ONLY).....
So I found out that it doesn't work in the default app, but if you download a 3rd party app like Handscent it does!

Anyone know what's up with this?
No Idea, I'm a Google Voice user, but once in a while a friend wants me to send a picture so I use the stock app, and she's on Sprint with an iPhone4, and she NEVER receives my mms (i'm on T-Mobile), or, I'd have to send it 2-4 times before she receives.

The way I made it work was to go into the T-Mo web site and set my phone to one of their phones. Just pick something like Amaze.
If i remember correctly, this happens because T-Mo thinks your phone is not capable of displaying the MMS.
If you search around there is a detailed explanation in the forum... Anyway, change the phone on the web page and it will work...

Suggestions
1/ option to change font (also bold, italics,...)
2/ delivery report check in outgoing sms
3/ mms, of course
Looking forward to see this app developing. Keep it up! And thanks!

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.
