[Q] Block post dated text messages - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
My network provider sends me text messages of offers and promotions of things I will never be interested in. These messages are sent dated a day in advance so they always sit at the top of my inbox which is annoying and misleading.
Unfortunately my network uses the same sender to send actual informative messages I would want to keep receiving so I cant just block the number.
Is there any way to just block messages that are post dated as in dated in the future?

forwarding text messages

i own a HTC 8525 and I was wondering if there are any programs out there.. or any settings that allow you to forward you text messages to another number?
In text message menu> reply> forward
In inbox menu> reply> forward or hold on txt and forward.
Not sure about specific programmes though.
but how do i reply with the sms message being copied? u know, just like in emails where they keep previous txts when replying. Is it able to be done instead of copy & paste...

That would probably not be a great idea, since SMSes are charged per block, starting with a block of 160 characters. You would be charged for two SMSes when you exceed 160 characters and are below, if I recall correctly, 306 characters. And so on and so forth.
But in terms of answering your question, I think the best way is just copypasta...
Need same thing - not much help so far - SMS Fwd
I just did a search for the same question. I have a friend that is recieving a text message from a forex trader that he wants to be automatically forwarded to me. Perhaps we can have text message sent to a number that would automatically forward it out to both of us? Surely there is a way or a product that does this? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Does Anyone Know How To View Their Text Messages Log Through Sprint?

I received a text messages the other day from a friend who changed their number but of course I forgot to store it before flashing a new ROM, which wiped everything out. Sprint claims the only way to retrieve the text message log is with a subpoena but I remember when I was on Verizon, it was provided through my bill and online account. Does anyone know of a work around to get this info? TIA!
Nope, with Sprint it's subpeona only.
I'd recommend SMS Backup+ for your future protection. Very handy app that keeps all your texts backed up to Gmail.
if all you're looking for is the number that texted you, you can go to your account and look at the text message log and find your friends number, only thing is that you can't view the message within the text if that's what you're planning to do
How about the Nandroid Backup you made before flashing the new ROM

Where on the website do you go to view your texting log? I've never noticed that feature... The bill detail only displays voice numbers?
they will give you an excel format list of texts, just the number time and date, not the content of the text

[Q] Why don't emailed text messages thread properly?

I have older relatives who do email but not text messaging, so I've enabled them to text me by putting a "mailto" link on their desktop that uses a provider's SMS gateway. As an example, for a verizon owner, if I set up this mailto it would address the email to "[email protected]". In this way, my older relatives can text me by just sending an email. This works pretty well all around.
However, I'm finding that the text messages I get have a 10-digit number in the "from" field, and even with messages from the same person, that number is always different, although it appears to increment. As an example, I sent myself three text messages in a row via email, and the number in the From incremented by one each time.
These messages won't thread obviously because the From field is always different, which is a little irritating but I'm more curious about how this is working than anything else right now.

I've always had this issue but don't use it often. I never figured out how to fix it. Have you tried a different app ? Not that it would matter but maybe its sending programs issue and not the phones

[Q] Sent group text messages shown as anonymous

I've been having an odd problem lately. When responding to group text messages (which are already handled badly when not everyone has a group-text capable phone), my responses get filed in a separate string with me as an anonymous sender in lieu of the group conversation thread. I am currently running Tweaked 3.5 for a while and this has only recently started happening. Replies to individual text messages still behave as normal, being stored in that message thread. Searching online has proven difficult, since anything with the word 'anonymous' gets tons of junk about spam messages. I'd show a screen shot, but I recently cleared the memory of messages in order to try and troubleshoot the issue.

[Q] Text Messages Compiled help

I have a problem that i have tried to google but haven't came up with any results, maybe i'm asking the wrong way but this is a big issue for me personally.
some contacts i have (eg John) uses to mobile numbers, a personal and business.
i send text messages to both of his numbers depending the time of day and what the messages are concerned.
htc stock text message app compiles both these numbers under the same thread under the same contact name.
so basically when i go into the message thread, i'm seeing messages that i send to his personal and business number.
i can select to view which number for John the messages sent and received but sometimes it gets confusing, not used to
is there a way where i can have 2 John message threads when i get into the stock text message app? as this way will help me determine on what number am i sending to and keep the business to business and personal to personal.
i can't find any setting for that within the app and still have not come across this topic when tried to google
**besides using another 3rd party app like 'GO SMS' is there a way to solve this?
