Does anyone know of a way to remove the Send Message option for home/work numbers within contacts? It's not a huge deal, but alot of my contacts have mobile, home, and work numbers and it's pretty annoying to have the contact cluttered up with Send Message for 3 numbers...

When I use Outlook to send a text message, I use to be able to start typing someones name in the "to" field and it would suggest peoples names. Now it stopped doing that. I know I can tap the "to" button to pull up contacts, but that means I have to take my stylus out.
Anyone know how to fix it?
Hi,
Is there a way to send an sms to all contacts?
Also how do you select multipe contacts for messaging - do you really have to do one contact at a time as I have been doing, or can you "mark" multiple contacts?
Cheers.
In the list of Recipient type the contacts following bij a semicolon.
for example:
contact1; contact2; contact3 etc
Hi, same thing here. Do you get a "check names" option in the forward message opiton box that doesn't do anything? Is there any way of adding a check box to the contacts menu? Would be nice. I've searched the whole forum and can't find any answers. Search brings up no matches either.
Thanks.
I dont know about 'all', but multiples are easy, just keep clicking the To button and selecting your contacts from the contactlist (one at a time).. A checkbox would have been neater tho.
Try google for Group SMS. It lets you list your contacts by category, and checkbox those you wish to SMS to.
I'm sure I had that one. If anyone finds it, please post a link.
I have catagories set up, why can't I just text a catagory and it messages them all..
Eaglesteve! Searched as you said and installed Groupsms. Works great.
Cheers and thank you.
I have noticed that the inbox shows all messages, including those I have sent when the person has not replied yet. I understand this is because of the threaded view. Any way to disable it?
I think there is a registry trick to show individual messages instead of threads, does it also show sent messages in the inbox?
Also, for sent messages without a reply the subject line shows the surname ahead of the first name, both in the inbox and in the sent items folder. Is this a bug?
I don't understand what you want. Do you want to see all the messages you have sent to a person? (to do that, tap the message in TouchFlo). Please explain. Sorry if I am the only one who doesn't get it. Cheers!
Sorry for not makiing it clear. Suppose you have sent a message to a person X. This is the first time you have made contact with X. He hasn't replied. Then, if you go to your inbox, you will see that the sms you sent appears in the inbox, even though he hasn't replied. So you are basically seeing a sent message in the inbox folder.
I disabled threaded view and they don't appear anymore. I wanted to know if we can make them disappear in threaded view. I assume not, because it is a feature of the threaded view.
Secondly, in the case of X who has never sent me an sms, I will see him as "Surname, X" instead of "X Surname" in the subject field. I wonder if this is a bug?
not really a bug. It depends on how you want to view your contacts' name. If you have noticed, in all contacts you also see Surname, X.
Well, all my contacts are sorted by "X Surname". And in all my sms they appear as "X Surname" except those from whom I have received no sms yet.
Can you pls guide me how you have sorted your contacts as "X Surname"...I could not find any option for specifying the sorting order.
You can either edit the contact and choose "More" at the bottom of the screen or, to do it for all the contacts, use Contact Changer 1.3.

Hi,
in all Android builds I have tried it is the same. When I go in certain contact which have several numbers, I also have Send message link for each number, even though some numbers cant recieve sms and such (home numbers). Is there a way to remove this and perhaps made it something like in WinMo to have a switch for default SMS number. Sometimes it is very confusing to find a right button for SMS and often make mistakes sending the messages to wrong one.
Hi
i understand that on the nexus 4 and jelly bean, the "contacts" app displays every contacts, with or without phone numbers,while, on the other hand, the contacts dislayed in the "call" app, are only the ones with phone number. (same goes with sms, when entering the first letters of a contact name).
However, i have an issue that, many contacts i have, even though they have mobile numbers assigned to them, don't display in the call app or sms app...
Does this happen to you too?
Wait,
i think i figured it out.
it seems the contacts that caused this issue had no real name, even though they were displaying one in my contacts...
i'll explain. lets say i want to write a text to John Doe.
John Doe is displayed in my contacts from the contact app, but if, in messages app, i select "new" and in the "to" field, i start to write john, the name "john doe" doesn't pop.
then i go back to my contacts, click john doe, edit him, and the name field is empty... weird given android already displays this contact as john doe...
