It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.
I didn't find the option to view contacts list from Messaging, Email, or Gmail apps that came with X10. So, it is getting frustrating to send message to multiple users as I now need to type few characters from each person's name to bring their contact information. The problem is when I have several people to send the message I tend to forgot who I already selected.
My question is, is this an Android 1.6 lack of feature or X10? For messaging I downloaded Handcent SMS which has the feature to select contacts from list like any dumb phone has. I am surprised several little and basic features like these are missing in X10.
I hate using apps that don't blend well with the nice Bluish interface of X10. So, apps like Handcent SMS spoil the rich experience of X10 but I have no choice but to use as selecting multiple users is very important.
yeah a little annoying I agree, but you can totally customize the look of Handcent you know right?? Just use backgrounds, colours, and fonts that match the blue SE Timescape theme.

I only see Sense or iPhone theme on Handcent SMS. Font's I can select System Fonts. I am trying to get the same dark blue background like in the default SE Messaging app.

I'd say try to set the backgrounds in Handcent to the blue SE ones included on the phone, like either of the two in "Wallpaper Gallery" you can choose when you want to set your Wallpaper. I'm not sure where exactly they're located on the file system, I just briefly looked and couldn't find them, but maybe someone else knows or maybe it's possible to download them online somewhere??
Furthermore, there's 4 different font packages available for Handcent on the marketplace, I'm sure you could find a font similar enough to the default one of the SE messaging app, then set all font colours to white and you're golden. Please post your results and if you happen to find where those SE Wallpapers are located, thanks

Thanks. Got it all setup to close very close in theme to SE's blue. I had to download the wallpaper from online as I couldn't locate the one sitting somewhere in the system folders.

Is there a problem with selecting more than one contact? I mean, I can send one text to different people using the default messaging app. Just compose a new text and write a couple of letters that the contact starts with then select it and write a couple of letters for your next contact. Works perfectly for me!

I have contacts with multiple numbers (home, work...etc). It seems there is no way to select the alternative numbers using the default messaging app.

That's the only way possible. But it would have been better if showed the contact list with a "check box". That is how it is on most phones and messaging apps. Having to type the first two characters is not going to be easy when trying to send message to several contacts as you need to remember who you already entered plus the worst part is if one of your contact has two mobile phones and the second is listed as "Other" number, it will never show up by entering couple of characters. You have to open that contact from Address Book and choose that number to send message.

Yes. This is a pain as one of my friend carried two cellphones. One work cell and one personal which he carries mostly on weekends. I can't chose his personal number from Messaging app. I have to open the contact and choose the number to send message.
I hope SE engineers are reading this forum. They really need to implement lot of these simple easy changes in their next update.

Oh, I see. Well then, I've only got one number for each contact. Can't help you then.
I am looking for a text messaging widget that displays my most recent messages. I used the HTC messaging widget while I was on Sense ROMs, however now that I am using a AOSP rom I need to find something similar. Searched for a while but couldnt find anything.

Handcent, ChompSMS, and Go SMS all have widgets, and are better than the stock messaging app.

this is factual
I use the Pure Messaging widget - supports SMS, Email (the only one I could find that actually supports the stock email program), facebook, twitter, and phone calls. Super good program and really customizable. Looks great if you like to really customize your phone - it's not just a grey block.
I like handcent but I was looking for a widget more similar to the sense widget. I think I might just buy launcher pro plus as it seems to have what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the pure messenger widget tip, ill check that out too.

will this work with 4.3?
it works htc one! this is badass!! thanks m8
It works ok for me but force closes when I send MMS, on a Galaxy Note 3 on 4.3
If anyone has a workaround for the crash please share
They did a lousy job with this new version. There should be a clear distinction between Hangouts and SMS/MMS messaging, and there isn't. They have them all in a gigantic list.
Having a tiny little label for SMS is a terrible way to do this.
Works great on my gs4 tmo

You're right it blows. Time to find a good this party sms app. No quick reply, it's pretty gingerbread-esque.

Hangouts V2 works great on my Note 2 running Pac-man 4.3.1. MMS works no FC's only thing is does it only send SMS to a contact that has hangouts installed too? My understanding was it would send to both sorta like iMessage?
works nice on nexus 4, only wish it had an option to customize colors of incoming and outgoing messages
I agree with many people, the Hangouts / SMS integration is a let down Many of us thought it would be similar to the iMessage integration and that was exciting.. Also, let's hope it's faster on the N5 than on my N4. It takes quite awhile to open.. :silly: Google has a long way to go with this app, but let's just hope it gets better soon Enjoying the new SMS UI anyway haha :highfive:

So wait a minute? The Hangouts/SMS integration isn't the same as the iMessage?
Can the Hangouts handle the SMS over data/wifi?

No, basically it's just a merge of the SMS / Hangouts app. There are 2 separate conversation lists for your SMS and your Hangout messages =\
I don't believe so. Anything over data / WiFi would just be a Hangouts message.
Works fine on Sprint HTC One...however, it doesnt notify me of messages. No sound, no vibrate, no notification icon........which kind of defeats the purpose of the app since it disables the stock messengers notifications.

Wow, big disappointment.
Are the hangouts SMSs get saved to google servers automatically and can be restored?

That it's all in 1 app now lol.
As in scroll recent list of messages? Sometimes I'll swipe away a notification and there's no way to bring it back up.. same with emails (not gmail, the actual mail app). As far as I know there's no way to bring it back.
Anyone know of a way or a 3rd party app?

Why would you want to open hangouts on the watch? it only shows you the latest hangout anyway..
basically i'm looking for a way to open recent notifications but what i would like is a way to open apps like hangouts or email, so even old messages can be opened and answered to.

In order for that to work you would have to bring back the notification on the phone. Not sure how you would do that...
I'd like to be able to open hangouts as well. I don't think you really need the notification back, you just want access to the messages. That'd be awesome.

If you use hangouts just for sms you can try wear messenger. You can see all your sms conversations there. If you use hangouts for, well, hangouts then there's no way to do that currently.
