annoyance with messaging app! help? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

Change mms setting

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.

[Q] What is the name of the App that controls notifications

I'm looking for the Application that flashes the buttons at the bottom of the screen. For Notifications.
I need the name of the app and how to find it so I can delete it or disable it.
I think this is causing all my reboot problems
How many of those apps do you have running? Go to settings/applications/manage applications then click running... it's probably the app that has the word LED in it...
Freeze it and see what happens.

Couldn't find one with LED in it. One called LGE though.
You talking about "LG 2X/Black Notifications"?

I'm not sure? Whatever app controls the notifications to flash my home, back, search, and menu buttons when I have a text or email.
I'm just trying to pinpoint why the phone keeps turning off all the time.
Thanks for your help
It's called LED Me.

It looks like you are running CM7. Its built into the rom I believe. Try going to settings- cyan mod settings- interface- LED notifications

Screen captures inside apps

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!

Home screen redraw

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 I do, i thought that may be the culprit but i wanted to see input from elsewhere. Should I disable that?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
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.

Is there a way to fix the "broken " back button behavior?

I think a lot of us have been annoyed by the broken, unpredictable behaviour of the back button, I still can't believe Google hasn't figured out something so simple, the back button should just show the previous screen you were in, so if I'm using Tapatalk and then get a message on whatsapp and I switch to that app, the logical thing for the back button to do when I press it is tale me back to Tapatalk, not take me to the chat list on whatsapp, with some apps it works as it should with others it doesn't, it's just lottery, totally unpredictable ...

You could use GMD Gesture Control to create a gesture that brings you back to the previous app. It's not a quick fix, but the app is worth checking out anyway.

The stock Android UI has a multitasking key for a reason. Just use that to switch apps.
