Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!
I do not remember this with the old ROM but since the update, when I go to type a SMS text message or a url within either IE or Opra, I get this damn annoying black line that shows up above the on-screen keyboard and if using the slideout keyboard, I get it to. It inputs everything I type into this box as well as into the text mesg or url box. I have tried all the options in the Settings/Input to no avail. I just want what I type to go directly into the SMS message or into the url box without it going into this other box. Now everything stays highlighted and I have to hit enter twice to get it to be inputted....very very annoying. Anyone got a way I can shut this thing off?
How do you stop the text in a picture being copied when dragging and dropping a screen selection when using the stylus into a text message? All I want is the picture to be dropped into the message box, but it also pastes whatever text is readable within th screen capture so I have to go back and delete all the text.
I have a document reader project in android. Main Activity includes a WebView. The texts are reading from html. In Top Options menu includes a button for increasing text size dynamically (text are wrapping). So far so clear but when the button pressed, the text size is some increases but all text are shifting down in screen and twice wehen pressing the button, the text size increases and all text shifting down a little more again. This situation is really happening frustrating for readers. The reader must go back to where it left off after pressing the button so the reader should not lose reading location. How to solve this problem?

How does using Voice Input for messages work?
When I click on a contact, select the messaging icon, then select the blue microphone icon, it starts recording my message. However, I see NO way to
a) stop recording
b) sending
The AT&T guide I found online shows a 'send' menu point that is supposed to be at the bottom, but I don't see one.
Instead, the screen goes blank, (only showing 3 menu points to the rightm which when pressed only allow a language selection). And then the screen timeout kicks in and i cannot send my message. It is also NOT automatically sent after a while.
Is this broken or am I just not getting it?
