Droid X, review lengthy text message before sending?

When composing a long text message I find it very difficult to review the entire message before sending it. Is there a way to do this that is not obvious? I have tried scrolling line by line and I end up changing words unintentionally. Holding your finger over the text pops out a magnifying glass, but even that is not very useful.

Unfortunately there is not an option within the device to change to make viewing your text messages any easier. You will have to scroll through the message.
Hope this helps!

Text messages not sending

Hey,
A few weeks ago i bought some skype credit to text my girlfriend in Peru, from the UK (england). For the first week or so it worked fine, she would recieve the message very quickly, and the price was very reasonable. No problems.
But, suddenly it changed: i will send a message to the same number, which is correct, and the message will attempt to send, but it will fail, with the advice to check number coming up. I am at a loss; the number is correct, we used it for a week with no problems, she is recieveing texts from people (granted, in Peru) ok, and i can call her using my home phone. What is going on?
Possibly a related problem is that my mobile cannot text her either using normal credit. Anyone got any ideas?

I can make calls to mobiles but all of sudden text messages I send do not get thru

I have been with Skype for a couple of years now and the principal use a make of Skype is to send text messages to mobile phones, because I can use my keyboard to type messages. This problem has only occurred during the last two weeks

I'm so sorry but in cases such as this, there is nothing we can do as the problem is not on our end. Please note that the SMS travels from us to the phone's provider and finally to the phone itself. If the providers reports to us that the SMS was sent, then the status of the SMS in Skype is delivered.

Hi Team,
MSN - 0429394904
I don't believe there is anything that we can do for this particular issue, customer is more looking for clarification to take back to Skype. But he is unable to receive Skype SMS messages, can receive standard SMS without any issue.
Skype has claimed that they are receiving the delivery confirmation message that the message has been received but nothing is being received to the mobile. I have confirmed with customer that other people that have been sent a Skype SMS are unable to receive the messages also, so is likely an issue with the Skype service.
Would you have any further feedback?
Example SMS - Sent via Skype on Monday 6pm.
Kind Regards,

Good morning Matthew,
We have added SMS and also GPRS/Data on the customer's service. Skype has nothing to do with us and we in no way support SMS travelling over a third party platform.
***If the customer is not receiving the messages, he will need to follow up further with Skype.***
Thankyou

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered as all squares instead of text. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Randomly, text messages I send with my new iPhone 4S are delivered to the recipients as all squares instead of regular characters. I have heard other people complain about this too. Any idea how to stop it or why it is happening? Hardware issue?

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Check your profile settings and goto menu-> tools-> settings-> general-> pesonalisation-> home screen-> mode settings-> home screen applications-> e-mail 1 and 2.
Check for duplicates to show names and install "Conversation" from Nokia Beta Labs.

Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

Upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts.

Hi Everyone:
Since the last 9 days after upgrading my Iphone 4 I am not able to access my text messages or send texts. I have attempted to delete the "68" messages however, once deleted for a period 2-3 seconds. The deleted messages reappears! I have reset. restored. did back-ups! Nothing has altered this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help? Thanks :-)

Thanks Diesel:
But I have been back and forth with my carrier and they are adament that this is not their issue but Apple's..... I do appreciate your reply!

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

HT4847 My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

My 4s has begun sending multiples of text messages, occasionally sending those hours or even a day later. Is this something i can fix? or is there a problem with the phone

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Edit a mail message before sending

How do I edit an email in Mail while spell-checking? Sounds simple, but my stupidity means I can't find out how to do it.
Here's my scenario: I write a message, hit send and it brings up the spellchecker. Then while doing the spellcheck, I realise that I want to add or alter something in the email. So I come out of the spellchecker, either by closing it or just clicking on the body of the message, and try to edit the email. But when I then click in to the text I want to change and hit a key, any key it seems. the email just sends - doesn't give an opportunity to make those changes.
This has to be something so obvious that I will cringe with embarrassment when I read the answer, but I hope someone will take pity on me and give me the answer!
Thanks to that person!
BTW, the thing is I only started using Mail a short while ago, having been a confirmed Thunderbird user...

Hi Lavakumar,
Based on my knowledge, getting an alert before sending messages can't be achieved by Exchange Server.
I would like to know what your purpose is. If you want to avoid users from sending wrong messages, recall feature can help them when they send wrong messages.
For more information about recall, here is a helpful thread for your reference.
Recall or replace an email message that you sent

If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.

Help re text messages and sending photos

Is there any way to forward a receieved text message, and is it possible to send a taken picture to another mobile phone?
Thanks

It is currently not possible to forward text messages from the iPhone, but as soon as iPhone firmware 3.0 comes out in the summer you will be able to do that.
As far as sending pictures goes, you cannot send a picture via the MMS service, you have to send pictures via email. If you want to send pictures to other people's phones, you have to do the following:
Verizon:
[email protected] (the x's are the 10 digit phone number)
These are the ones I have so far, but I have not tested them all:
Alltel- @message.alltel.com
AT&T- @mms.att.net
Boost Mobile- @myboostmobile.com
Sprint- @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile- @tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile- @vmobl.com
Now even though you currently can't send pic messages with the MMS service, Apple's iPhone firmware 3.0 will support MMS, so you won't have to email pictures once it comes out.

Save Text messages without Sending?

H i, another question I haven't seen answered. Since Kins don't have a note app, I thought maybe I could start a text message and then not actually send it - then I could save a note (like a grocery list, etc.)
is is possible? Or did anyone find another workaround? just want to maybe jot down a book title that I hear about, for instance, or other means of writing and saving myself a note on the phone.
Thanks!

I don't have a text plan - that's why i was asking about saving a draft. It seems like you can save a draft email, but do you need have a wifi connection to do so? If I can save a draft email anytime, that would probably work. (I don't have a Kin yet - I'm thinking of getting one)
