I want my text messages to look like the iPhone...
Handcent SMS Android App offers enhanced text messaging capabilities. Send & receive texts from full app or popup interface , send & save MMS (picture mail) contents, T9 style keyboard, add your text signature, search texts, change the theme, font packs or background, Android notifications, ringtones and vibration patterns, even cooler… speak your text or have them read back to you!
I get a lot of clients asking “How do you text signatures?” on Android and this app solves that. Batch mode is very useful to scroll through and check a list or Group of contacts when sending bulk messages (like for a party invite). They put the icing on the cake by utilizing text-to-speech and speech-to-text (something I personally like when too busy to type out a long text message… just speak it)
1) Open the factory installed text program – hit MENU and then SETTINGS…. Scroll down to NOTIFICATIONS and “Uncheck” the box.
a. If you don’t do this, you’ll be annoyed as you’ll be getting two notifications that you have a new message!
2) Remove the text program from the home screen by holding down on it and dragging to the bottom to the screen.
3) GO to the Android Market – search for “Handcent SMS” – once you find the main Handcent program download it.
4) Once it has installed, place a shortcut for the Handcent program on your home screen.
5) DONE! It’s a much better program and has been related to better battery life as well.
6) ENJOY!
Battery Blues on the Android
The SOLUTION is to download Advanced Task Killer from the Android market. The cost is $2.99 - well worth it though as it does much more then the free version. If you are on a budget - get the free version.
Task Killer stops background processes and apps, specify an “Ignore List”, or kill all apps running with one button.
You look like the kind of girl who wants to Calibrate...
FIX:
Menu > Settings > Local & Text > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool
What this does is allows the Android software to "learn" how you touch and type via the virtual keyboard.
GET R DONE!
Android bogging you down?
Go to:
Menu > Settings > Local & Text > Text Input > uncheck sound feedback and vibrate when typing
For those of you like me who kinda liked the vibrate when you touched a key - BOO!
Let us know if this helped you out in any way.
