hey all, two questions. first, I was wondering if anyone has figured out (or bothered to look into lol) changing the behavior of the back button in messaging. it seems like it goes back to the last message you were on, even if it's the same one you're still on. it'd be nice to have it just go back to the message list every time. i get this may be a bug that's being worked out, but hey, there's no harm in asking
second, would it be possible to make the keyboard enter key not send messages? i don't care if it does nothing, i just don't want it to send the damn message... i think like 1/3 of the messages i type wound up getting sent prematurely. it would be nice to just have the one on-sceen send button.
thanks so much
Well, if you use ChompSMS, you can set it so the enter key will just put a return line in, instead of sending the message. It's a setting that you can toggle on/off. Thats about the best I can give you right now.
cool... this little iphone knockoff looks pretty sweet. now i just have to figure out how to change the icon to match my theme
thanks a lot

I've searched and can't apparently think of the right combination of words to describe this wonky behavior that is driving me out of my fricking mind.
Here's the issue - someone texts me, I hit the envelope, it starts to open it up, then I switch right away to the keyboard to actually coherently type a response and without fail the keyboard registers the first few letters in the text message and then goes right into trying to match an autocomplete match in the phonebook and kicks out of the text message completely.
The only way to stop this behavior is to sit there like a retard waiting patiently for the phone to reorient itself after opening the keyboard and then give it a few extra seconds just to be safe.
I could kill a midget I'm so fed up with this.
Ideas?
I am having the same problem. Running stock ROM with HTC Black TouchFlo 3D theme. Any advice would be appreciated.
I KNOW others have this issue - come on someone has to know a fix . . ..
Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I finally flashed a new ROM (EnergyROM Mercury). The problem is gone. I know it is not a fix, but it is a resolution. It was very frustrating. Good luck.
Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm brand new to the Captivate.
When I'm having conversations over text message, is there any way to make the incoming texts appear on my screen in the order in which I receive them? Right now all of my typed messages appear at the bottom of my screen, and if I receive a text I have to scroll all the way to the top to view it.
For example:
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Friend: Test
Me: Response
If messages were typed in this order, it currently appears like this on my phone:
Friend: Test
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Me: Response
Is there any way to change that? I love everything about this phone, but it's getting obnoxious having to scroll up 10 or 15 texts every time I receive a new one from somebody. Thanks in advance.
Honestly, the simplest fix is to use handcent or another third party messaging app.
Edit...I see you are brand new to the captivate.....you heard of the inspire? Might want to give it a thought.
Hmmm... It's certainly not supposed to be like that. My phone always showed the messages in the order I received them, so something is wrong and I couldn't find anything in the settings to change it. You might want to try Handcent from the market, there's a free version and it is EXTREMELY customizable. I mean, it's down right ridiculous how much you can customize every aspect of your SMS and MMS using it. Maybe that'll be a simple fix for your messages not appearing in order. If you decide to go with Handcent, make sure you turn notifications off in the stock messaging app or else you'll get two separate notifications each time you get a text, which gets annoying pretty quickly.
EDIT: I guess I type too slow, newter beat me to the punch
I get the a very similar (or even same) thing running Cog or stock. What I have noticed....this only occurs if your reply has the same time stamp as the received message i.e. if you receive a message at 9:46pm and reply to it within the same minute (in relation to your phone's time), also 9:46pm, your message will show out of order.
Hmm....now that I look over my messages...I have a MILD theory...
Messages are organized in chronological order, but the time stamps do not include seconds, only down to the minute. Afterwards, the system has to organize by something....so it goes to Name. My first guess would be if the message is sent from someone with name that comes before "Me" alphabetically, their message (send at the same minute) would appear first, and vice versa if their name is after "Me." Errr.....maybe it is by phone number, not name.......errrr....damn, that doesn't hold up 100% either now that I have looked even harder.....jeez.....only 1 message might jump up?
eh, I've just learned to live with it. Can't be too picky. Every phone has its little quirks. Just depends on which ones you want to deal with
I had the smell issue with either stock or handcent messaging apps. The problem to me was the time in my region being sent by the cell towers was off by about 70 seconds. When I would travel to another region of the country, I didn't have a problem.
I solved it with a program from the market called ClockSync (though I'm sure there are others) which sets the correct time on my phone.

A good friend of mine just got a sensation 2 days ago. Her sister also got the same phone. She is complaining that when I text her a smiley from my g2x she gets the little green android smiley icon, but when she text me back all either of us see is the characters not the icon. Her sisters phone does the icons, so I am pretty sure its just a setting somewhere. On my vibrant, and g2x no matter what rom I had they did the droid icons default. For simplicity I would like to get it working for her in the stock messaging, not handcent. I have poked around and not found an answer. It's easier just to find the answer and fix it than to listen to her complain. Any help is appreciated.
it needs to be an exact smiley. for instance will show the icon but won't. tell her to hit Menu>More>Insert Smiley or if she's using Swype just press & hold the Q key
im late returnig text sometimes because it only blinks three times per min. Anyway to make it blink longer?
Only way I know to do it is to use Handcent SMS. They're the only ones who seem to have figured out the Sidekick's LEDs.
I'm in the same boat. I know that Handcent can manipulate the LEDs, but damn, for some reason I love the look of the stock messaging app.
it would be nice to be able to chance the led colors and req of its blink. i miss it from the old ones, and cant stand the new ones led blink feq. argg. handcent though like he said.
Man, I use gosms pro. I hope they can maipulate leds also. I don't like using handcent.
Yea huh

I would like to have more specific control of the LEDs also. I use Gmail's app for all my email functions and ignore the built-in app. However it will not control the LED lights for incoming messages at all! Also I would love to see more frequent messages (or make it selectable).
So many things on the phone, including LEDs, are forced settings without much user control at all (unlike the Danger OS Sidekicks). I hope Rooting (which I hope to do in the next few weeks) will take care of some of these issues.
Things are being worked on, but the developer base is unfortunately small. We started out with the big issues, like the power menu and lockscreens, and are currently working on people's requests, an OC kernel and vibrate &silent in vol rocker. It's on the list of things to do, as it bothers most everyone, just isn't as big an issue, so it's slightly lower on the list.

Ah, so its being paid attention too. i've really got to learn to dev so i can start tackling these things myself.
If nothing else, it's on my list.
im working on this now im doing my best im new at this but ill try to get a fix!

i have time tonight, so im going to try to see what i can do about it as well, we're both new to it but if i find anything i think is important ill pm you so we can do this quickly.
Good to see more people trying to jump in! That's the best way to do it, that's how I did it, just poke around at things, you can always just odin back to stock.
If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help, I should be around, PM me if you need anything.

do you know what permissions or something that controls the LED'S becaude obviously they have the power to flash more than 3 times! samsung has just decided to screw with us. in other words what does cyangoen mod and handcent change that allows the LED to blink more
basically what you need to do is edit the settings to have a menu that allows for different timing for the LED's, and then point the LEDs to that menu when they want to flash.

alright thanks ill try a few more things!
I hear handcent got the leds working for our sidekicks. Maybe there's a way to look into that for some code or something.
The problem isn't getting it working, it's getting the notification to send the correct setting. the LEDs already work just fine.
I suppose that you could edit mms.apk instead of settings, and you could add the setting in there.
thanks for the lead ill check that out now and i already looked in handcent im still looking!
I'll try decompiling the mms.apk and see if maybe I can find it easily.
I posted this in the AT&T S8+ Forum, figured i'd post in here too, might get faster help. I did do a couple searches before posting, but if someone has already addressed this I apologize.
Hi all, I seem to be unable to get individual text notifications working on my S8+. That is, I go into the contact, I find where it says "Message Tone" and I set the tone I'd like to use. When I go in and look, everything seems to be correct.
Then when a text comes in, the default notification is still used. This is the case when both a tone that I added is used, or a built in tone. I had thought perhaps it was because I was using a 3rd party texting app (Textra, was not a fan of the default Samsung app), but even when I reset to the Samsung messages app, this was still the case (I even tried restarting the phone after setting messages as the default, just to make sure).
Anybody else having this issue? Anybody fix it? I've tried everything I can find, hopefully one of you can point out something obvious that I've missed.

No issues here, after setting the message tone you want are you tapping save in the upper right of the screen?

I am. I've attached a screenshot for a contact I'm using as a test (my GVoice number). It LOOKS like it's set up correctly (at least to me) just not working correctly. Personalized Ring Tones seem to work, but not text notifications.
The phone is doing a couple other quirky things. I'm wondering if it might be time to just say "F it" and do a hard reset.

Here are the screens I get when changing a ringtone or messaging tone. Didn't get the screenshot low enough for messaging tone, it's right below ring tone.

Yeah, I don't think I'm doing anything differently. Weird that ring tones work but not text messages. I had a couple different contact managers installed (don't really like the Samsung one) and thought maybe they were causing the issue, so uninstalled them and rebooted. Still no go.
I do like the look of the dark theme for the contacts app though, definitely gonna change it to that!
I also use Textra on my S8+, as I don't like the default one, and you set the personalized tones in Textra not contacts.
In Textra, go to one of the texts from someone that you want to customize and long press it, then go the three dot menu in the upper right corner and select customize. Then select Notifications, then notification sound and pick the one that you want.
Works perfectly...

:victory: The files are IN the computer!! It's so obvious!! Thanks so much, this has been driving me nuts.
Still a little weird it wouldn't work when I reset the phone to the Samsung app, but now I don't care because this works!! Thank you so much.
Sometimes it is just the little things...
