hello all! can u tell me step by step how to do this? i would think that i if i pressed down on the text i wold receive an option to forward, but this is not the case, rather, when i hold down on the text, the only options made available to me are 'view thread", 'add to contacts' and 'delete thread'...please help!
oh yeah, and i have ALREADY tried googlin'!
I was just wondering the same thing. Maybe I'm just to used to the iPhone4, or maybe I'm a complete bumdass. Either way it seems unusually hard to figure out. Can someone please chime in on this one. Simple functions shouldn't be this hard.
mine says "forward" when you press and hold the message. are you pressing the text, or the thread?

Step by step,
Go to messages
Open up the threaded group that has the message you want to send out
locate said message and tap and hold ON THAT MESSAGE ONLY
You will get a popup menu that towards the bottom says Forward.
et voila. You are good to go.

How do I do batch text messaging. On my old Motorola Razr I could simply compose a message open up my contacts and then go through and check off all the names I wanted to send it to and hit send and it would send to all the people. However in the TYTN I have to add each person separately. Which takes about 10x the amount of time.
I.E. I am arranging coffee for a small group. I want to send to about 20 odd people in my contact list. Is there a button combination I can press to quickly scroll through my list and select all the people I want to send to and have it add that group to the send field without having to open and close the message each time I want to add a new person to the "To" field.
I suppose a workaround would be to add the contacts once, copy the lot of them and save it as a note, then just paste the group each time you need to send out a batch to them.
Other than that I'm not sure how you would be able to get around the single adding thing.
Cheers
Yes this is one dis-advantage in WM5 and above devices. WM2003 atleast had an easy oiption to choose contatcs.
You can ofcourse try the above workaround by copying a list of contact numbers separated by ; if you often message the same list. Else, use the predictive input to type few letters and select them! Get the point?
There have been a couple of utilities posted that will help you in your cause - both called "Group SMS" strangely enough!!
One can be found >HERE< and the other is mentioned a little further down the same thread and links to >HERE<.
Check them out and see if either fits your needs
Cheers,
Mark.
I am just flashing my radio at the moment, but thank you for the suggestions, I will check them both out and post back the results.
This forum and its members have been a life saver for me. You guys are all awesome.
Thanks again.
Happy Hacking.

Thank You, the one from the Asheesh guy, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306682&highlight=group+sms Worked perfect, I am able to compose my message and then just click through my contacts and select with a check box the ones I want to send to, and hit send, works perfect.
Glad I could help
You can pretty much guarantee that somewhere on this site is the one program that will make your device complete......you've just gotta be prepared to look for it - they tend to hide in some pretty obscure places
Cheers,
Mark.
i searched the forum and the manual already. i didn't find a piece.
is there a way to set up a sms-sending-confirmation? i accidentally hit the "send" button while typing and the sms is gone directly ... awful and annoying.
i got no clue. dont know where to look inside the registry to find any entry.
any help? app? setting?

Do you mean delivery reports?
If so go to Messages, Select All Messages, then from the screen select Menu > Settings > Options.
Then on this screen tick "Request delivery report".
Will tell you if the message got there depending on your network supporting it, works very well. I use it cause of the HD2 SMS not sending issue, this way I know its gone.
I think he means a confirmation, for when you press Send. That a popup comes up like "Do you really want to send this text message?"
I don't think this option exist tho. Atleast not in standard.

Yes I presumed it was something similar to that. I dont think its that much of an issue though as the Send Button is quite far out of the way on the screen so I cant see how you can accidentily send them. Also I dont know of any phones that have thid confirmation? the iPhone would have been more of a contender for that considering its send button is near the top right meaning much higher likelihood of hitting it (although that never happened to me).
what i'd like is some form of notification that a message has actually sent, rather than just having to presume that it has

He just wrote it there, read!
No a delivery report only confirms that the person has received the text, not that my device has sent it. i can't use delivery reports anyway as I'm on o2 and they don't support it i'd just like some form of notification that it was sending e.g. on my previous nokia Series 60 a little tray with an arrow pointing out of it would be displayed in the top notification area until the message had sent.
Well, this might just be me but.
If you get a delivery report, it means the other person received your text message!
So how would it be possible then, that your text message isn't send? If you get what I'm saying.
This might just work for you?
52. Enable SMS Delivery Reports on O2 Network
O2 sadly do not support sms delivery reports no matter even if you enable them in sms settings or the registry. An alternative way is to add *0# in the body of the message followed by a space and then begin your message. The recipient does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered.

i could do that, but i'd rather not have to type it in at the beginning of each message. network or signal issues could delay/stop a message sending i just like confirmation that my device has done its part and the message is on its way, regardless of if the destination phone is turned on or not.
once you hit send, if your message briefly flashes then it has been sent. if it has not been sent you will get a warning icon which is an ! in a triangle.

are your serious?
if i write a textmessage / sms in landscape-mode, the send-button is in the bottom-left corner (just below the space-bar and the comma - german layout). i got the original keyboard, so the sensitivity is extremely high, you just have to accidentally touch it a little and the sms is gone...
maybe it just needs some time to get rid of that, same as you need time, to get familiar with the typing, but my google-search showed me that im not the only one with that "problem".
it only asks for confirmation if u try to send an empty message.
HTC People bug:
- When editing an existing contact, I am unable to open the pop-up menu on the phone numbers (actually, I am able to open the pop-up menu on the Mobile phone, but not on the Work or Home phone - didn't try the rest of them).
Do you have this as well?
did anyone else find this error?
sorry, don't understand the problem.care to elaborate on what you expect it to do and ill see if I can recreate it?

Right.
Go to any contact, and then click edit contact (using HTC People).
Tap and hold the mobile number text box. A context menu will pop-up, showsing options the following options: Undo, Cut, Copy, Past, Clear and Select All.
This sort of things, is normal to happen.
Now try doing the same for the last name text box. And for the e-mail text box.
It wil work as supposed to.
Now do it for the Work number, Home number or other text box numbers.
duplicate deleted
ahhh I see it.the menu only comes up for the first entry in the email and telephone numbers sections.the screen flickers as though it knows it should be doing something, but the menu doesn't come up.
Definite bug, well spotted.

I've informed the customer support at HTC about this, but after a series of e-mails, I am affraid they won't announce anybody at the dev. dept. in Taiwan or whatever.
So, in case you get this too, what about posting the error (bug) to the Customer support as well? Maybe they'll put this little buggy where it belongs!
yea illpost a bug report when I get home.I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix tho....hehe
Hi guys,
Just noticed how the Nexus, when i go to messaging and compose a new SMS i cannot view my contact list and select someone. Instead i need to type the first 2 letters of their name and they appear in a dropdown box. Is their no way to bring up the contact list and choose someone?
Thankyou
Download "Handcent SMS" from the market
sorry not what i asked. Just would like to know if it is possible or not as i cannot find any results via google.

Yeah, I don't understand the logic there either. Although you could just start in your contacts list and select the text message link from there. Still not as intuitive.
Find the person first, then type the message?

Thanks so i guess its not only me that finds this simply problem annoying. I hate it when i make a mistake accidentally hitting the wrong key and need to delete. Would be such a simple process just adding via contact list.

Well... yeah. Go to your contact list, find the person, and you have a centralized screen where you can choose, inter alia, to call, sms, or email them.
add contacts to sms
Assign your contacts a label i.e. home, mobile etc..
This will solve your problem.
You might have to do this individually for each contact.
In addition to another thread that says you can announce a track name while playing it by holding the UP VOLUME button, you can also do this for individual texts.
Example,
Go to a text msg thread, click on the msg, push hold UP VOLUME and it reads it.
Does anyone know a way to do this for e-mail?
Does it work if you get a text in another language then English? Do you need a local version of the rom/csc for it to work?

You bring me up to let me down. I tried this, it adjusts the font size of my text message.
Damn you Korean firmware! I'm happy for you though. Just in case I'm doing it wrong, this is the stock message app, right?
Edit: I do have SpeechSynthesis Data installed on the phone, and I can get the example to play right but it doesn't work in the text message.

It works on mine and yes its just the stock sms app, you click on the speech bubble then hold the volume up key. It should also work with the media player as well, it reads the name out of the currently playing track when you hold the up volume key (you only need to hold it until it starts speaking).
@ Deanwray, I've tried it in emails and i have no joy either
Sweet, thanks for that

Not sure about the other versions of this phone, but for the Vibrant (T-Mobile USA), if you go to Menu->Settings->Text-to-Speech, there is a setting called "Driving Mode" which automatically speaks all incoming texts and calls. It's a pretty nice feature
