Let's get back to choosing a better SMS/MMS app for _this_ thread.
If we want to waste our time on the politics of the proprietary versus
non-proprietary texting solutions, we can join _that_ thread (which is
already well over a hundred posts long) so there's no need for it here.
*Let's get back to choosing a better SMS/MMS app for _this_ thread.*
o I installed the QK SMS app, just like you did, so we can compare notes
o As a test, while in the default SMS, I deleted an entire set of texts
o Then I started up the QK SMS app
o Upon first use, it asked to be the default, and it took it
o Just like that (it was too easy, that I had to check that it worked)
o Then I checked the messages, and, yup, it was faithful to the original
o All the texts were there except the ones I deleted in the default app
o Then I checked the QK SMS settings
- I noticed it has an "inbox" and an "archived" section (interestingly)
- It seems to have an automatic-blocking capability ("should I answer")
- It has a global "delayed sending" option (what for?)
- It can prevent non-mobile numbers from showing up when composing
- It can auto-compress MMS attachments to any of 7 sizes
100KB, 200KB, 300KB, 600KB, 1MB, 2MB, or no compression
- And it does a couple other things which aren't all that important
One thing that is nice that I hadn't expected is that it can SEARCH your
"inbox" for a keyword, and find _all_ the messages that have that keyword!
Who knew!
Not me.
QKsms seems to have a only a couple payware options:
o Backup and restore
o Schedule messages
And, I haven't seen an ad yet (if it has ads, I'll ditch it, as NONE of my
apps have ads unless it's the only app on the planet that does the job).
In the past, I recall an SMS-scheduler for messages you want to schedule
(either one time, or repeatedly), so that's the only thing, I think, that
is missing.
Oh, I forgot to test the sidewise thing for the OP...
o It seems to work in both portrait mode & landscape mode for me!
