OK this is not a " I can't get mms thread"
I wanna change the way mms is played through messenger. If some one sends more than one pic in a mms its like a short video and I have to wait as it plays and can't ff. Tried handcent and its the same. So its proly android related.
If this can be changed please let me know how...

Asking again .....
Any phone I've ever had played mms messages like that. And all I'd have to do is just press a certain button to move the slideshow along.
Haven't gotten any mms like that yet with the captivate but I could guess that you can either press the menu button and go to next slide or something like that. Or try swiping the screen from right to left like reading a book or bottom to top like scrolling a website.
Edit: I know you want to change it but I don't think you can. That's just how mms works...I think. Maybe a dev can do something.

Hi,
I have a question.. is it possible to change the settings so that text messages that we get show the time as the sent time instead of received time.
I did a search for this on the forums (and google) and i believe someone worked on it for the galaxy s I9000. Is there anything we can do for the Nexus S. I also saw that there is an app called SMS Timestamper fix which adds the correct times to the texts, but i just wanted to know if its possible to fix it in the phone settings itself?
Thanks,
the SMS time fix is only to show received time, not sent time
the sent time should be recorded properly as it uses the time you sent out on your phone

In my messaging app, I can't see "Use original timestamps"...I am using the default messaging app. Any ideas?

Im not sure if you are thinking the same as me. I dont have any issue with the time being an hour behind the correct time (which is what i understand the time fix is for, but correct me if i am wrong).
The situation I have at the moment is, say i am in an area without reception and people send me smss. I do not receive them, but as soon as i go into an area with reception, all the sms's arrive on my phone. However, the time associated with the sms's is that of when they arrive on my phone (ie when i have just moved back into an area with reception), and not the time they were sent (which would be much more useful).
Hope that makes sense, and sorry if you did understand my problem already.
I have searched in the default messaging app, but i cant find the settings Use original timestamps. Maybe I am missing something.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
I just checked and use original timestamp is there indeed. Check it again man.

very odd indeed... i checked again, i went to messaging app (the default one with the green bubble icon with smiley face), settings, and definitely not there for me. I see settings for delivery reports, but not a "use original timestamp".
I am running the deodexed stock rom with voodoo kernel, posted by master, perhaps this is causing the issue? (i actually believe i have never seen this setting on my phone even when i was running 100% stock with normal kernel).
Is there anyway i can reinstall the default messaging app?

Everyday im finding out maybe samsung didnt do too bad on this phone.. i have a vibrant and swore to never get another samsung phone.. but im ordering this next week i hated the button layout cause in portrait hitting home at the top is kinda funky but with the holding back button feature im feeling okay about this phone. Thanks a ton

Ya that was my one thing I didn't like. But once I figured out the back button I don't have any problems with the phone at the moment. Samsung did a really nice job on this phone

Holding down Home will open the notification panel (good I guess if you are using apps in full screen?)
Make sure you set up your jump shortcuts! They are awesome to have
Something I missed at first: There is a small arrow on the right side of the universal composer in the notification panel (where you'd update your twitter/fb) -- if you click the arrw, you'll get toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent, and auto rotation.
JUMP + R!
My favorite feature! The JUMP + R combo! If you haven't tried it, check it out. I don't know what it will do for you, but it frustrated ME!

Jump + R opens up the Jump menu screen for me because "R" isn't a previously assigned shortcut.... ?
Did you try assigning JUMP + R to anything? ;-)

Thats what I am saying, I dont have anything assigned to it, so it doesn't do anything. You made it sound like it was going to do something hidden!
Since you don't get my humor, and obvioulsy haven't tried it yourself, I'll spell it out for you... there is NO JUMP + R. They forgot the 'R' in the jump menu list. I guess you can say it IS hidden.

LMAO, sorry. Too much vodka? Too little sleep? I'm just like "seriously it wont do anything until I actually assign it, geez!"
But you're right - how weird. I wonder if they did that intentionally?!
Hope I'm not ruining a joke or anything, but when I hit Jump + R, my phone reboots. And I definitely didn't set it up to do that.
More specifically, it vibrates, then does 2 quick vibrations after a moment, and then after a few more seconds reboots.
I have a similar problem but mines not with JUMP +R it just randomly does the vibrate and reboot thing.
Haven't set jump keys yet. But just found the toggle switches on the notification bar. Haven't found ay other "hidden" features yet.

The brower has it's own brightness setting - go into the browser, hit menu, choose brightness.

sweet. thanks man. i will check that when i get back on it.
not sure if this is a samsung deal or a sk thing but i love the fact you can change the font using settings-display-font style. cool jazz is pretty sweet.
I know that holding down the back button and tapping home will take a screen capture but it doesn't seem to work inside an application. Example, I want to post a screen cap of a SMS conversation inside handcent.. how do i do that?
In my experience some apps (incl handcent) will exit just from holding down the back button. I don't think there's a way around it other than using a third party screen cap app...
But if anyone has figured it out I'd love to know!

Almost every time I hit the home button from within an app and it goes to my home screen. It has to completely redraw the touchwiz interface. I'm running 100% stock firmware.
I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this problem. I find it very annoying and i feel that since this phone has 2GB of ram it shouldn't be having a problem keeping the home screen loaded while in another app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm confused on what exactly your asking. If course if you hit the home button it's going to go to your home screen. If you're talking about your recent apps, hold the home button then you have plenty of apps to choose from.

Op. For s voice, do you have it set to activate with a double tap of the home key? If you do then that is y get the redraw. S voice is waiting for a second tap to see if it need to activate or just go home. Turn that feature off and it will be snappier
Edit. OK. I see what u mean. Do u have forced 2d hardware acceleration enabled in the development setting?

Yes. At the least the 2d thing. The home key to go back to the home screen is a personal preference. I use s voice alot so I like to be able to access it right away

I know what he is talking about. It is the amount of time it takes to get to the home screen when you are in a app. It does take a sec to long to get to the home screen.

I know exactly what you're talking about OP, I have the same issue for a while now, and coincidentally I did some research on this just yesterday and found a couple solutions you might be interested in trying:
Solution #1
Solution #2
Solution #3
Solution #4
I skimmed through the solutions and i didn't see the one i believed i helped a friend with. He has the same issue and he had power saving turned on. Once he disabled it, i want to say it was resolved along with other issues. Try this and maybe activate it again and try running one off at a time to see what one it is. Its been a few weeks at least since i talked with the person. Not sure if you have it on or off.
If none of these other solutions work...are you really tied to using the touchwiz launcher? I know launchers like nova and apex give you the option to force the launcher to remain in memory to prevent excessive redraws.
Personally, changing the double tap S memo option made everything a little faster for me.
Hi I was wondering if someone can help me, when i press the home button after sending a text , than go back into messaging app it goes to that same message and not to default text thread of all your texts, is there a hack or a workaround for the text messaging app? because all the 3rd party apps seem to interfere and make it impossible to get texts? hope somebody can help thanks,
You have to press the back button to have that happen. If you press the home button it leaves whatever app you left in the exact state. Call it a staple of multitasking.

It is set up like that so the apps are available for multi-tasking and don't have to be reopened. If you close with home button they are running and will eat your battery. Back button kills app and sends it to muti-task for easy retrieval as a recent app.
