auto delete old sms

I think my inbox for text messages is full because I am getting an error message saying there is not enough memory to download the incoming message. Is there any way to set the phone to auto delete the oldest messages when new ones come in? and is there a way to get the messages that couldn't be downloaded? The only thing i have been able to find is someone said go to the messages tab, click all messages, then menu - tools; and at this point I get lost because there is no tools option on the pop up menu screen.

Look up SMSCleaner in the marketplace, it does what you want for only $0.99! I'm glad someone finally made an app like that

Text message notification ( speech to text ).

I used the search but could not find an answer to this question.
I went in to check out the Captivate today and messed around with it for some time, I used my phone to send it ( store demo ) a text message and when it received a message the speech to text screen would appear on the home screen ( also in notification bar at top, along with normal text message notification ) and it was simple to just X it out but I could not find a way to turn it off.
So simply put is there a way to turn this off or does this appear every time you receive a text message?

Yes you can turn off the notification by going to the Messaging app/Setting/Notification.

I am new to android and have figured out alot on my own, but still have a ton to learn.

[Q] Displaying phone number in text messages

I've noticed in some of my text message threads the phone will display that contacts phone number alongside their name. With other contacts it will simply display their name alone.
Does anyone know how to toggle this feature on and off? Or what causes it in the first place? I've looked around and I can't find anything that lets me know why its doing it.
It's kind of annoying to see a phone number next to every text message when a name will suffice.

[Q] Looking for an SMS app that has the following 2 features:

s6 edge
1) ability to turn on audible notifications that will play even when you are in the conversation threaded view. On my phone, the stock app and Textra both will not "beep" for a new text if I am in the conversation threaded view. Thus i'm forced to back out of the convo or lock my screen just so I can get the beep to let me know if I have received a new text. I want a app that always beeps no matter what screen I am in.
2) can hide the message content when the message is received and instead just show me the contact name and number or etc. Just don't want the message itself to show on the screen until i click on it. Textra has this option, but it does not have option 1.
Thanks a bunch!

Can't ''expand'' received MMS picture

Whenever I receive a picture in the message app, I can see the picture in the conversation but when I press on it to see it fullscreen, all I see is a kinda broken image. The image still save in the storage and when I search the location of it, it is at /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/app_parts
thanks in advance!
