Private messages - About xda-developers.com

I sent someone a PM earlier and got a response. I responded to that, but there's no evidence of my response as part of the thread in either my Inbox or Sent mailbox. That didn't seem familiar from prior experience, though it had been awhile since I'd PM'd here. So I resent with the same result. So far, no response from the recipient, so since I don't see evidence of my outgoing message, I don't know if it went where it was directed or not. Should I be seeing evidence that my message actually went out? Shouldn't I see my message in the PM area somewhere?

go to the following link (be sure your logged in to XDA first)...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
... scroll down to the last option under the "Private Messaging" category and select the option "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" then scroll down and select "Save Changes".
Also, when you are creating a new private message, and you scroll down, you'll see the "Additional Options" area that has some options like saving a copy of your sent messages. These are only the options for that specific message.
Unless you change the default to save Sent messages as explained above, you'll need to select to save them for each message.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...
Good Luck!

Thanks for that. Clearly stated. I just set it so that there's a permanent save to the Send folder. I'd done Quick Reply earlier, where the save option isn't present, so it's no wonder I missed it there.

Private Messaging ??

Today I sent my first Private Message.When I checked in my Sent Messages , it was empty.So I resent it, and again, it doesnt show up in my Sent Messages.
Now at the time the forum was very slow,so I thought that maybe that was the problem, so I resent again....twice!!
Now I do not know if the intended recipient did in fact receive the message(s)
Any idea why they are not showing up in my Sent Messages folder?
You have to enable your account to save sent messages. Go into User CP, Settings and Options, Edit Options. Scroll to the bottom and check:
Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default
Boom! There you go
Indeed that is exactly the OP's problem. I just checked and the OPs account is set NOT to save copies to his sent folder. Follow Svetius' instructions.

Way to tell if an SMS was sent to multiple people?

Over the New Years weekend I got a text from a friend saying something like "Hope everyone has a safe New Years!". From the message it was obvious that it was sent to more than one person. I just happened to be with another friend who also received the same text. He has a Droid 3 and in his Messaging app the Send button changes to Send to All or something of that nature. Is there a way to easily tell if a message has been sent to multiple recipients without looking at the message info? I feel like this would be a huge help considering that replying to those sends a text to everyone who got the initial message. Hope that was clear.

Right I get that. But sometimes a message can seem like it only was sent to you, but then after you reply you find out that it indeed was not. I was hoping for an obvious way to tell, like on the Droid 3 messaging app changing the send button to say send to all.

Unless I'm mistaken, that Send to All is a Motoblur specific feature. I don't think by default that SMS messages sent to multiple recipients automatically reply to all recipients. MMS messages might, but not SMS.
I may have to test it later. I'm fairly certain the replies go only to the sender, though.

I figured that was specific to Motoblur. I like that feature though. Makes it really simple knowing if you received a mass text. I was hoping to find an app or ROM that has this feature as well.

[Q] Question, will i get a " read " report from an Iphone when i send it an MMS?

[Q] Question, will i get a " read " report from an Iphone when i send it an MMS?
I'm trying to find out if anotn IPhone will return a "read " report to my T989? I get the. "delivered" notification, but never seem to get a "read " notification. Is there a way to check? Other than having the iPhone in hand and sending MMS? I'm asking because I keep hearing from my ex wife that she didn't get the message. Thanks as always in advance.
As long as you have the option set to get the 'read report' I don't see why you wouldn't get one.

Thanks for you response. I do have my phone set to get a "read" report. I'll have to get a friend that has an iPhone and check to see if it works.

Well, I sent an MMS to a friends IPhone while sitting here in the same room, and I received the delivery report, but it has been almost an hour and no "read " message report. Anyone have any ideas other than the obviousness of making sure my setting have been ticked?
The device you're sending to can be configured to not send read reports.

Thanks elceedub. I thought about that also but, when I had a friends IPhone and sent a message to it while I had it sitting next to me, the message came through, it sent a delivery notice back to my phone but, never sent a read message back to my phone. I know this person would not even know that she could change settings for MMS notifications, she doesn't even know what MMS is. So I would have to say that it's unlikely that settings had been changed on the IPhone to not send a read report.Thanks again.

Bug with xda-forum private messages

Hey xda-devs,
there is a bug or something with private messages on the xda-developers forum, when I click "submit message", it doesn't happen anything and all messages I sent are not in my "Sent Box". I can't even know if my messages were delivered correctly.
Even afterwards, when people are writing me an answer, that answer is correctly in my inbox, but nothing about what I send is in my outbox.
using:
Windows 7 x64
Opera Version 12.15 Build 1748 (also with all add-ons deactivated).
Have u tried searching mate?

Sent from my SGS II
^+1. Yeah! A Search would have answered your question.
You have to enable it under "Edit Options" in control panel
oh sry i didnt find it with my keywords. so I did change that, thy! But is it normal not to get information about, that the message was delivered? the only way to know is to look at the "sent box"?
i did sent some messages 3-4 times to people, because there didn't happen anything after I klicked submit message several times.
there is no"message has been sent" or "message has been delivered". is this intended?

You won't get any "message sent" notification. This is normal. Best way is to enable the sent items as already said, then you can see them in this folder once they have been sent

[PROBLEM] I can't send PM

Hello guys!
I'm having a little problem, I don't seem to be able to send any PM, when I press send it says message sent but when I go to Sent Items there is none. I've been able to receive and send before but now I can't.
Thanks!

Are you sure that the message isn't sending?
There is a setting in your Control Panel that can enable or disable a copy of sent messages being put into the Sent Messages folder, so you should probably check that.
