SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

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

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

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.

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

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

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

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?

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

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....

I am in threaded mode in TF3D and i see character count as i type at the very top...Sprint TP2

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Could you please post a screen shot?

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Nevermind thats regular mode not TF3D...Sorry to get anyone hopes up! Didn't notice till i posted screen shot. I took it down.

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Yeah, thats not the TF3D screen, but still, I have sprint TP2 and this is what my screen looks like. Dunno why mine shows the name of the running app on the taskbar, and yours shows the character counter...

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

you haven't typed anything in the box. Want show till you start typing

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Wow. I feel like a dummy...........:oops:

In my own defense tho, I'm using WkTask and the counter was still cut-off untill i tweaked the off-set values. But still... dummy.

:-\" so anywho...


We get that TF3D counter figured out ??? lol.

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

bump...any fixes yet?

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Things that suck about the TF3d SMS as mentioned and more:
1.) Lack of character counter
2.) No support for signatures
3.) Phone numbers aren't clickable
4.) URL's aren't clickable
5.) Stupid Soft Key for Sent isn't the same as WM messaging program.
6.) Reply to: screen / threaded view TERRIBLY SLOW when you have a lot of messages - we're talking 10 seconds pauses sometimes when pulling it up or replying (I imported all my SMS from my old phone so I have 9k text messages currently...)

/subscribed in case any of these get resolved. In the mean time I'm only using Window's built in Messaging. I'd be happy if the TF3D tab for SMS just went to it instead!

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

I agree. Anyone know how to change which SMS app opens when you tap a message from the messages tab? Id like to have it so that tapping a new message opens the Windows threaded conversation screen for that contact (instead of the current TF3D threaded SMS screen).

Re: SMS Character count in HTC SMS screen?
 

Yes, I found this program that does that. Gives you zoom buttons for text size in the TF3D message viewer, but more importantly, tap to reply brings you right to the WM app instead of the terrible tf3d one! I don't really care for the zoom buttons and it distorts the TF3d viewer in landscape (specifically it just shows the same view as portrait) so if someone knows of a way to enable "tap to reply" going to the WM app instead of the TF3d one, without this program, let me know.
