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

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.
I'm using a NATF rom from a few months ago, and whenever entering text within any app on the phone I get this black bar where it looks like it wants to do some sort of autocomplete or predictive text, but instead what it does it simply make it totally frustrating. I want to kill this app, slowly and painfully if possible. Please help.

Maybe I'm just an ignorant fool for having taken several days to figure this out, but I just realized you can move the text-prediction bar so that it's no longer blocking the "send" button on text messages.
Press and hold on any word that pops up, and you can drag it to another location on the screen. Mine is now pinned to the top of the keyboard, and the send button is now available to be pressed even if i don't select an auto-correct word. It does hide the "attach" button, but I rarely use that in SMS anyway.
Thought this might help.
EDIT: Well, I guess I am an ignorant fool. The change isn't permanent.. or at least I haven't found a way to make it permanent. I wonder what person thought it was a good idea to float the text prediction bar at some arbitrary spot that just so happens to block the most important texting button... I'm convinced nobody tests these things... But I digress.
I was excited about this until I did it and then got another text and the box was right back where it started haha

Yeah, same here. I edited the original post accordingly. It really astounds me how minor, yet stupid, the text prediction implementation is..
I switched to SwiftKey and never looked back. HTC's IME is nice for a stock KB.. but it's too large (because of extra row for arrow keys) and the prediction text blocking everything above the keyboard.
I wonder if HTC IME MOD is any better in these regards?

I, too, am now using Swiftkey. It really has a great feel to it. Most of the time, it records every keypress. However I've experienced extreme lag from time to time, resolved only when i disable the keyboard and reenable it. Ever happen to you?
If your as annoyed with the senseui keyboard as I was I can highly recommend the gingerbread keyboard off the market. It is, unequivocally, fantastic.
I am using the gingerbread keyboard as well. Accidentally found out you can drag the space bar up to get the arrow keys then drag it back down to get rid of them. Handy little feature.

Arrow keys are a huge time saver for me... I'll be checking out the Gingerbread keyboard...
Wow, gonna have to pay for this one... Gingerbread Keyboard is awesome
id like to put the word prediction bar transparent or make it desapear but keep the continuous input working on!
I got HTC Desire and on Oxygen rom and I got few questions regarding stock gingerbread experience and hoping people come across work around for annoyances I'm having. I know some of questions are better suited for specific forum for applications but I just want to throw everything out here and see if anyone knows.
1. Miss call notification it's driving me nuts. I use "Go Contacts" because of T9 search. In notification I press miss call person and it still stays in notification. I remember reading in the past developers can't get rid of it with some reason due to gingerbread change. Anyone got work around for this without solution being use stock caller?
2. I'm using LauncherPro's bottom icon notification feature for miss calls/sms. Only problem is I press calls and it still say I got miss calls with whatever number miss call I got unless I press on the number I miss called. How can I make it so I can get rid of notification of LauncherPro when I press phone contact button or something?
3. I use Handcent and it has great feature of changing LED light into blue and it makes so it much easier to know when I got sms even when charging. I'm not sure if it's because I use Full Screen Caller ID or I pressed LED root feature where I can change colour to what ever I want but it just doesn't work any more even after I disabled LED root feature.
Because of it I'm thinking maybe use separate app for notification or something if they exist?
Many thanks in advance and let me know if anyone have better way of handle miss call notification issue!
I have HTC Desire S, used all kinds of dialer apps and had the same unread-count problem.
However, after I changed my original ROM to LBA (and also changed the launched to GO Launcher so it might also be related) - it was fixed!
I don't know how, but it's working fine now.
