SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?

[WhiteBlazer01]

I tried searching, but I could have sworn I saw a post a while back (before I got my TP2) regarding the character count in the HTC SMS window. Any way to enable it? Thanks!

Good call. There are 2 different threaded sms screens and neither shows the character counter when sending a text. Looks like only the non-threaded method displays total characters used /160.

the tmobile tp2 shows the 160 count in threaded messages.... Sounds like the sprint version forgot alot of the simple stuff

My threaded messaging in the standard WM interface shows the character count.

The TF3D messaging does not though, and I wish it did. I also hate how they put the Back soft key in TF3D where the Send soft key is in the WM interface.

+1 for hating the location of the back softkey.

I don't know how many times I have hit the soft key thinking it was the send.....then realized I clicked the back button....DOH!

Damn, the HTC SMS screen also does not enable phone numbers to be clickable. Not sure about url's. Sucks.

A long time ago when I saw the TF3D messaging interface, I was dying to get it. Now I'm thinking the WM interface is way better.

lol I have hit the back key thinking it was send one too many times. I've since stopped using HTC's threaded messaging.

So Im gathering that nobody has a character count in TF3D threaded messaging... but how do I go about getting the SMS character count to display in WM threaded messaging? Does it just show x/160 in the text input box for Verizon & Tmobile?

I use Vito SMS-Chat, the count shows up just fine in that.

I use the TouchPal KB in portrait using T+ & I can type insanely fast with that setup....
