Problem have to download text messages to view them - HTC Sensation

Hi I'm having a problem on my htc sensation. When some send with a text message I have to download the text message before I can view it. It's a regular text message. I have the energy rom. The person that send me a text own an iphone. I only have to download the text when they send me a text. Sometimes it wont let me download the text to view it. would anyone know why I have to download the text to view it or why it wont download so I could view it.

Sounds to me like they are sending it as an MMS message to me!

I dont think you are getting a text message through. It would seem you are getting an MMS, E-Mail or an IM such as WhatsApp or Skype.

Good AIM program that uses SMS?

Hey guys, I am looking for a good AIM program that uses SMS and not data. Free would be awesome too if possible. Thanks guys.
I tried OZ Messenger but for some reason it won't intercept the incoming text message saying that it signed on. Like it will send the text message to the user and not the program, so the program does not acknowledge that it has signed onto AIM through SMS.
Isn't this how AIM Mobile works?

Check out IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile options. Both of these use SMS messages. AIM Express uses a net connection (so thats not what you are wanting).
A number of people I work with (with basic phones) use IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile and they receive and send messages to AIM contacts via SMS.
There may be better solutions, but I do know these work.

I use IM FORWARDING, I wish there was a program that you could just save your buddylist to and send text to their screen name.
There's a certain format you can type to send from your phone to a screen name.
http://www.aim.com/wireless/pdfs/vzw/AIM_SMS_UG_freeup.pdf
here's a good read.
Just create a new contact with their name and their IM under the IM category. It will send the message to their IM address but you won't be able to tell if they're online.
to sign on
send a text message to number 4646 - in your text message type SCREENAME(space)PASSWORD example bobster PaS$W0rd111
to sign off
send a blank text message to number 4647 to sign off
get you buddy list
send a text message to 4650 - in your text message type list
to get the number associated with the buddy
send a text to 4653 - in your text message type help
beware - it sends a list of 7 buddies per text. So if you have 140 screen names on your list, expect 20 text messages.
to send a instant message to someone from your buddylist
send a text to the number associated with their number
to send a instant message to an unlisted screen name
send a text message to 4654 - in your text message type SCREENAME: (space) message example bobster: hello

Group Message as Picture Message

I am running Mango Beta 2 on my HD7 and whenever i use the new contact group message feature some of my friends get a picture message instead of just text. Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix?

Disable "Group text" in the messaging settings panel.
Of course, this also limits the ability for the phone to group these messages together as intended. The only way for the phone to know that these messages are "grouped" is by MMS, because MMS inherently allows additional information to be attached to it (such as header information, kinda like how e-mails can have additional hidden details attached to them). Without this additional information, a text message is pretty much just a line of text with a phone number attached to it.
That makes sense. Thanks for that

Quick SMS

Do you find yourself sending the same SMS messages often and to the same recipient(s)? Then this is the app for you. Quick SMS is designed so it should be easy to send messages that you send often. You can preconfigure messages and recipients, so when you need to quickly send a message, you just choose a recipient and a message and press send.
I have made an app that solves this, you can find it her..:

Just thought you should now...

App for sending a batch text?

I need to send batch texts occasionally/frequently. I run a business which most people send me a text to set up an appointment. By the nature of the business, most are not return customers, I fix a problem that they have and they hope to never have to use my services again and so I don't save them to my contacts. I do however like to send a follow up type message a few days later.
Currently I use Handcent SMS. I have the follow up text saved as a quick text and I go through and search all of the people that I have done business with during the week. I then one by one send them the text. This can take a while since I may need to send the message to 30 or more people. I want to be able to search all of my texts and just check box the ones that I want to send the message to and then select the quick text and send it.
Batch mode with handcent currently is just really batch delete mode. There are a few multi-text programs out there that can send one text to a group or you can select from your contacts, but none that I have found that you can look at your inbox and just check box the ones you want to reply to.
Wow. Crickets. That all I can hear.
Is there really nothing that can do what I need?

Send multiple SMS at the same time

Hi everyone, I noticed that if I send the request to send 2 sms via programming the first SMS is sent first and only when it will be sent will start sending the second, there is no way to send more sms at the same time ? This thing also known in the app to send text messages, in fact I can not send another text while another is about to be sent.

There is no way to send 2 sms at the same time (if someone know a way , he is free to share his knowledge).
It wouldn't make sense , I mean , and sms is a piece of text , if you want to send two pieces of text at the same time , just put them in one single sms .

The sense has seen that an SMS has a limited number of characters.

Yes of course , but when the sms is too big you can turn it into an MMS. Anyway , I hope you'll find what you're searching for
