Dont know about that. Maybe samsung intended it that way for privacy reasons..or so i guess(although i dont get the point as rest of the apps can show full details there).
My tab3 does not show the sender/contents of the message. Just says <count> messages received..not quite useful.

I don't see this in Hangouts, is it just for stock messaging?

I'm not sure if it is JUST for stock. Go into stock messages and apply that setting. Then text yourself in hangouts. You will find out lol

Thanks but I can't change Messaging settings without making it default again. I'm worried that will screw up Hangouts when I switch back.

The good news that I was able to switch to stock, make the change, and move back to Hangouts. The bad news is that the setting didn't carry over.

Can I turn off the MESSAGE SENT alert? I can't find an option.

I don't need it to tell me that message was sent, I can see on the message board that it was. I can't find if I have the option to disable this or not.

You mean the sound? Try unchecking events in sounds and notifications.

u can do this by using "SKTools".
The sound and the message, because then I need to Dismiss the message that the message was sent. I don't need that.
Where and how do I change this in SKTools? Could you break it down a little more for me. Thank You

SMS Issue

It wont let me select a contact when I click on to
I can go to the contacts and press the smiley face thing and it will let me but if I try to type the name it just types it with no number. ir just randomly creates numbers. ive already done a hard/soft/factory reset
what am I doing wrong?
this is pissing me off
Try using handcent sms and see if that works
is that an SMS app?
The best i bet 80% of the people here use it
this fixed it, but I HATE the way it looks, no way we can get the original SMS app working correctly?

Handcent can be fully customized so the look can be changed dramatically.
Have you tried settings. Privacy. Reset to default? And Forgive me i'm assuming you already restarted the phone To see if that fixed it...
In Handcent go to the settings, you can change almost every single aspect of the app, its pretty damn cool
Weird, I want to report I've had no issue with the original SMS program, I can't seem to reproduce that. Do people really use handcent?
I dont know anyone personally that doesnt use handcent on their android phone, I guess based on that I just kinda figured everyone did

I've already done a hard reset, factory reset, soft reset, etc... lol
still nothing and its starting to tick me off
handcent is ok, but i prefer the android SMS app.
any updates on fixing this?
Are your contacts phones numbers set as 'mobile'? I think the default application only pops-up contacts' mobile numbers.
If you imported them from another contact list then it's possible that they've been defaulted to something different.

this fixed it thanks!
all my contacts were set as "other"
Glad I could help.
Apps like handcent sms optionally allow you to use non-mobile numbers for SMSs, but the default app it quite restricted.

text messaging

I am looking to find a setting or application that would continue to notify (audible) until a TEXT message is either read/acknowledged or deleted.
Anything like that out there?
Thanks!!!!

Handcent will do this. It's just disabled by default.

Handcent? default app on phone?
If so, where are the settings?
Thanks

Get handcent or compSMS. I use handcent. Worked better for me.
Edit: thought I was in the Desire forum, but I guess it should work anyway?

i mean its not that big a deal but just like anything else you put on the phone you dont need it but its cool.
Go into the notification settings:
settings-> all settings-> sounds & notifications-> notifications
from there select the event: Messaging: New text message. Check the box "Display message on screen"
Now when you get a text there will be a window that pops up from the bottom of the screen.

yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....
We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".
check it out

This better as you don't have to install a whole new ROM:
