[Q] No SMS-MMS conversion on Acer Gallant Duo e350 - General Questions and Answers

Hello, all.
I own an Acer Duo Liquid Gallant E350, recently rooted (which allowed for far greater stability), but I still have a few problems regarding the sms stock application. I would like a mod like this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065452), which would allow texting more than 480 characters without the sms converting to an mms, which some of my regular contacts cannot read. The bonus of sending time instead of receiving time would be great, as would be the no limit on contacts, but the priority for me would be the no converting to mms, really.
Changing creation mode to restricted did not work, and I'd rather not install other SMS application (like Handscent or BigSMS) (because I already have a long history of sms, and it's handier to look for them in the same application i'm using to text, rather than swap applications when I look for some old information).
I have been searching the internet and this forum for a while now, and I'm beginning to think that this mod does not exist as yet, but I was hoping for some clues :
- would the above-mentionned mod work for my device, with a simple change on my part ? It must be said that I am no developper and have never created or modified any mod, and have no knowledge of Linux whatsoever. As a new member in this forum, I am not allowed to post on that developper topic.
- if not, do any of you know of someone who would be willing to adapt such a mod for the Acer E350 (ICS 4.0.3) ?
I am grateful for any constructive answer you will be providing. And I thank the guys who created this forum, and those who make them live. I love the internet for those opportunities in sharing help and knowledge. :highfive:

[Q] Use SMS/Whatsapp like iMessage

The problem:
I would like to use SMS/Whatsapp like iMessage; one inbox and when sending auto detect method (SMS/Whatsapp)
I have been googling for this subject for quite a while and I can't seem to find the solution and I really don't (want) to believe that this has not been developed yet; Whatsapp is cross platform and therefore would be better than just iPhone to Iphone, BB to BB etc. How could they not have developed this yet @ Whatsapp...
@admin / mod,
Sorry for placing the question in the wrong section. I can't seem to find out how to move topics either (guess my number of posts clearly reflects my noobism). If needed, could you please move this topic to Q&A
I Think this imposible. Whatsapp it's a third party app. Whatsapp cannot integrate with any brand.
Maybe in the future we use RCS (Rich Communication Suite). It´s a chat system that integrat in any phone.

It's actually perfectly possible. If the whatsapp developers included SMS in their app then it would be what the OP is asking for. It's just a 3rd party SMS app, and there's plenty of them around.
In answer to the OP, get in touch with the whatsapp developers and ask them if they have any plans to integrate SMS. What you're asking does make sense, but it doesn't currently exist, so go suggest it

Moving to Q&A
I've seen all kind of apps 'manipulating' and catching in / out going text messages so whatsapp should be perfectly capable of doing such a think. The thing is; I thought I wasn't looking for it correctly. It simply cannot be that I am the only one thinking about this with the release of iMessage. To bad I cannot code a thing like that but this could be a money bomb if whatsapp fails to take on the market.
Workaround...
i came across the same thing the OP wanted , and its simply not working , whereas if long tap contact > send message > and i choose "viber" , it works perfectly... think its something whatsapp developers have to fix....
workaround....
but , if u click on the contact portrait , then u will have that pop up with all avaliable communication apps , and u click on whatsapp icon , then it will redirect u to that contact's chat window..
i know its not as convenient as setting it the default sms app , but there is nothing we can do about it but waiting for the developers of whatsapp to fix that...i attached a screenshot of it...
hope this helps....
cheers...

[Q] Lumia800 (wp7.8) to Lumia920 (wp8) & WhatsApp history

I have a girlfriend from S.America, and my main ongoing communication in our relationship has been WhatsApp. For Immigration purposes i now need proof of our relationship and it is 'vital' that i find a technical solution to extracting the conversation history from my wp7.8 device. The transfer to email option is very incomplete (only gives a few months of conversation). I have searched and can find solutions for Android and IOS but wp7.8 is locked down tight. The closest i could find is WhatsApp Xtract http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24603294
I would pay money if you know a solution in the Vancouver, Canada area where this could be done.. I'm not scared of rooting the old device and extracting the database myself, i just need a how to guide is all.
Thanks anyone who can point me in the right direction.. PS i love WP so far, however the nokia 'transfer my data' option via bluetooth was also a joke - only bringing half my sms over with most of them truncated.
Thanks again.:good:

[Q] How do you guys manage your apps?

Hey guys.. I have a number of apps on the app store and have worked for a number of startups on their Android applications and something I find a huge pain is managing user submitted bugs, feature request, ideas, feedback etc.. Currently I get all of those via email, facebook, twitter, google plus and they all go into a text file (I know..) which is a pain to manage..
Obviously there are tools like Jira and the like but I was wondering if there are any other tools you guys use for this kind of thing, preferably something I could direct users to so they can see what's in the pipeline, what's being fixed etc.. but if not anything to manage it would be great.
Btw for complete transparency I'm currently looking at building a platform to solve this problem for myself so I'm just looking for feedback from the community if this is actually an issue or if there's some well known tool I've somehow missed which would save me the time.

Where to keep my data

Hi there guys,
Here's my story, I have this project I want to start working on, and it's suposed to be a running prototype in a month or so.
Anyway the app is going to be pretty simple, it is going to have users, that can be drivers, passengers or both, every user will have to have this info: name, surname, user ID, car which he/she is driving for now pictures are not neccesary(if you could point me in the general direction as to how I can do that, great), and users should be able to send(not instant) messages to each other.
I will also have a webpage in which you will be able to do all the things you can do with the app, so my question is
Where and how should i keep all of this data, all of the info?
I'm a real newbie in this, but I plan on learning a lot, so should I make a database and store all the textual info in there and link it with the app, or is there another way that you are supposed to do that. Where do I keep the pictures?
Any help would be wonderfull :3
Have a nice daaaay!

You need a large server for this, and that has to grow larger by times as new members will start joining and this is going to cost you a tad..... A suggestion from me is that limit the size for each users content, like multimedia, let's say it's 1gb and one exceeded it and the older stuff got deleted
