Right now I'm using Handcent SMS and it's okay but I'm missing a very usefull feature: Marking some text in a recived SMS and send it to another app.
Example:
If I recive a adress then then mark it and send it to maps.
If I recive a appointment then mark it and send it to the calender
Is there an SMS app that can do this? and have all the other great features of Handcent?
I am not aware of an sms app that can do that. There are copy/paste apps that can get addresses over to Nav as a work around though.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I'm using the copy/paste trick now but I think it culd be done easier.
Am I really the first one who thought of this?
I'm not a developer but I think it would be somewhat easy to make.
1. make it possible to mark out some of the text in a sms
2. pop up a menu with options: Save as.., copy, send to..
3. a sub menu to send to where it list the apps that should receive the text. maps, contacts, calender, whatever
Well now the idea is out there, then I home some developer picks it up

I hate the Android system of messaging just bcoz I cannot keep track of messages recieved, sent, drafts.
I need some app with the classic views having an Inbox, Outbox, Drafts. The only such app I know is SMS Manager. But the issue with it is it doesnt show the whole msg when its a long one.
Plz help.
Check out Handcent SMS and, whilst you are at it, the gmail small sync SMSBackup+
Not sure if they are what you are looking for but, at risk of teaching you to suck eggs, thought I should mention them.

Chech this one:

I tried Handcent but it still provides only a threaded view, not the classic view with Inbox/Outbox. I noticed that it breaks down a long msg into a couple or triple of bubbles, which sucks !
Abt the link provided above, I have the same app (as I mentioned in my intro post), which is the only app having Inbox/Outbox, but doesnt display the whole msg, in case of long ones. Now, on 2.1, its giving me a forced stopped error on opening the Inbox, hence turned useless.
The splitting of SMS bubbles in Handcent is odd. I don't see that in received messages. In sent message settings the are two options which might be responsible :split messages and convert to mms. Check those out.
Regarding inbox/outbox view: there is a separate view for undelivered messages : goto main (middle button) settings and look under "more". Probably not what you're looking for although I noticed you did not type inbox/sent.
I know it's not the same as folders with counts of unread.
Good luck with your hunt.

I am having difficulty viewing a vcard received via text message. My phone recognizes it's an MMS but views it as a Multimedia file and tries to play it.
My phone (EVO) is rooted running Cyanogen 7.0.1.2 and I'm using the builtin messaging app. I don't want to use handcent or an alternative messaging app.
I have taken a screenshot of what I'm experiencing
There doesn't seem to be a solution to this..
android cant get vcard i think.
someonew please build a fix or hack for it ...
its been too long that noone could solve it
vCard
That's not true Miui can send and receive vCards and I have used other roms including those based on Cm10 that could do the same I think you need a modded mms.apk Easiest would be to use Miui.
nshedbi artistic
iam saying about vcard sent as sms (not mms)
when my friends sent vcard as sms b y their nokia,sony etc i dont even receive that sms in my mobile .
and thee no option to sent sms either ...
is there any solution for this ?
go sms
Have you tried Go sms or Handcent?
yaa i had tried both but no use
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
Hi guys.
I've been working on vCards on Android for few years. If you wanna check my app bizCard Manager. It supports sending and receiving (importing) MMS vCards too.
But to be honest, many current davices has MMS vCards suport built in nowdays.
I just upgraded from a Razr 2 to an Artix 4G (stop your laughing, my son made fun of me enough for everyone).
I noticed that when composing a text message I cannot pull down my contact list to select recipients. I.E. I wanted to send an announcement to multiple recipients but it seems that I must know who and cannot browse my contacts. With the Razr you could go into your contacts and select multiple recipients. I see that if I start typing in the recipients for text a list from my contacts shows, but that is only contacts associated with the what I type, no the entire contact list. Anyone know of a fix or mod for this?

You are talking about trying to message entire groups of people? I use Handcent SMS to do my texting bidding. I believe it can do individual and group texting with the application. It is a lot better than the stock messaging app trust me. Go download it, it is completely free you will not be disappointed.
Oh and this is for Atrix 2 users, the Atrig 4G has its own forum with a ton of stuff in there. Enjoy!
You wont see it like that, just enter the first letter of a recipients name in the box and a list of contacts who's name starts with that letter will pop up, pick the one you want. Once you select you can repeat the steps as needed to get all the recipients added. Or you can use Handcent/Go Sms Pro.

Thanks for the info, and thanks for the forum notification. I just started here and am still learning.
There are several alternatives to the native text messaging app installed on the market. I for one use GoSMS Pro, just try a few until you find one that suits your needs and hood luck on your new device

Same here. I used Handcent for a while but wanted something different and Go SMS Pro is a nice replacement. I love how customizable it is, it even has a native theme creator. So far I've used Go Launcher and Go SMS Pro, they make good stuff.

I'm looking for application same in funcionality as Samsung default 'write&send' app.
I don't want to go to SMS application, then select new message, next big editor and from there send SMS.
I need something that will allow me to easy and fast input message in big editor (fullscreen widget would be the best)
and then just insert contact/number and just send without further hassle. Of course sms should be later on visible
in SMS application in sent. I have hardware keyboard on my phone so SMS by voice does not interest me at all.
Do you know such an app ?
Try and use the sammy write and send app
.its apk is available on xda..search for it

Is anyone aware of a Gmail app (paid or free) that can do the following, just like the Gmail web interface?
1. Ability to assign label(s) to emails/conversations and have those label(s) shown next to the conversation title in the inbox
2. The Undo feature, when moving or deleting mail. Great for my occasional slip ups sending a mail to the wrong label.
Right now I'm using TypeApp, super feature rich but missing those two key features important to me.
Thanks!
