Hi everyone
Just got my HTC Desire and one of the things I'm really struggling with is threaded SMS. I can't find any way to go to regular view in the stock SMS program!
That would be an unbelievable omission if it's not possible to use SMS in a normal fashion
It basically means my SMS inbox groups SMS by contact and each conversation has about 20 SMS in threads already and I've only been using it for a few days. I can see that ending up being in the hundreds within a couple of months.
It also means you need many more screen taps to view the message you want to find. I can't find a way to view all the messages I've sent either, I have to go through each conversation.
I just had a look at ChompSMS and Handcent but they're built around threaded/conversation view as well.
Are there any SMS programs out there that don't try and use conversation view?
It's a major drawback that there's not even an option to use a normal SMS view. What particularly strange is that even if you create a new message to someone who's already sent you an SMS, it adds it to an existing conversation. If there's a gap of a few weeks between SMSs I'd hardly say that it constitutes continuing an existing conversation.
I'm finding that it takes so much more time and button pressing to read a particular message.
The only solutions I've found so far have been along the lines of... "I really like threaded SMS so you should too". Not exactly helpful!
Cheers, B
