removing android smileys?

hi!

is there a way for me to disable smiley graphics in messages on my new SG3? it's not just the ugly android smileys that bug me, it's that i like text smileys a lot better

thank in advance!

You can't with the default messaging app. But it is strange that the smiley shows up as text in the conversation list, but as the android smiley when you go into the conversation.

Apps such as Handcent, and I'm sure others, allow 'disable smileys'. In Handcent it's Menu/Settings/Bubble Settings/Disable smileys. Yet Handcent doesn't have the option to change smileys in the conversation list. Unless I'm missing it.

You can't get rid of the smileys, but you can use smileys without noses lol. Those are the ones that won't show up as android smilys, like (which will show up as something here) compared to the android

Otherwise like doit2it said, downloading an app such as Handcent will allow you to get rid of smileys, handcent is really good messaging app, i use Google Voice, and haven't really messed around with getting messages on Handcent yet, as I don't know if I can get my messages from Google Voice on it :S

I would personally appreciate it if disabling smileys were part of a future update. I agree that text smileys are more charming, and I would appreciate being given the option. Naturally, I would expect the default to be "on."
