Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do bring up all your contacts in a list when you are sending a text message? I wanted to browse and select a few people out of my contacts but all I could do was add them one by one by typing their contact name.
I would like to be able to browse my contacts and tick off who I want the message to go to.
I don't think you can in the stock messaging app. Try Handcent instead, has a plethora of other features as well.

Is there anyway of making this the default message app?
Come on Google surely we can have better handling of contacts when sending a text message.
I come away from Symbian and Nokia to find a simple feature like this on an advanced phone like the Nexus S is missing. (I could do it on my old Nokia for gods sake)
How can we report stuff like this?
Not sure if you are, but if you're talking about hero or evo, you can click the little person on the right of where you would type the individual names. From there, you can select all recipients or groups

This is where to file a report on complaints/issues. I recommend using it and sharing the link to the report you file so that people may star it; this'll bring as much attention to it to Google as possible. Hopefully then they'll add/fix the feature in future updates. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?thanks=13414&ts=1293293994
Sorry, I'm using the mobile app, and I can't see which forum this is

Ok thank you I will do that.
Does anyone know how to make Handcent the default messaging App and stop new messages going into the Stock app?
Request Google to add a feature to insert multiple contacts while messaging
Hi All,
I have requested this enhancement at code.google.com, request you all to vote for this issue and bring it to the notice of Google developers!!

Just flashed SC 2.6, coming from 2.4. Full data wipe, cache wipe, and davlik, flashed SC 2.6 first, then jt's EB16 kernel. Voodoo if it matters.
Delivery Reports just aren't working. The option is enabled.
just got a delivery report on a pic message I sent this morning are u sure the option is checked? Also I'm not sure it sends delivery reports for text just mms I think.

Yes, its checked, and yes, delivery reports work on sms. Mine were working on SC 2.4 with EB01.
Reports only work to Verizon recipients.

Open up Messaging, click Menu hotkey, go to Settings, uncheck "Delivery Reports".
Granted, I'm using the JT nonvoodoo EB16 dummytether flashed over Blackhole 4.21, but that shouldn't make a difference I don't think.

I'm aware. The recipient is on Verizon. They were working fine before I updated.
Update: I just downloaded GO Sms to test it out, as I remember from the past it also supports delivery reciepts. It's working fine, I send the msg to the same person, and I get the delivery reciept back.
I'm guessing the problem is in the default sms app that comes with SC 2.6
Update 2: In the past, when the stock sms app was correctly handling delivery reports, if I were to send a msg via GO Sms, and wait for the delivery report, when I then viewed that same msg in the stock sms app, it also would show the delivery confirmation. This is also not working anymore, GO Sms is receiving the delivery report, but it's not being reflected in the stock sms app like it normally would. There's definitely a problem in the stock sms app.

If you would use your eyes and read the menus. The only one you can actually turn of is the MMS one. not the SMS one.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
still having the issue. Delivery reports aren't working in the stock sms app, but they're working in Go sms
So,
You found it was working with Go SMS, deduced that it doesn't work with the stock SMS app I included (which is entirely possible), and are still surprised the issue remains?
I'll fix it in 2.7. However, its not going to spontaneously repair itself
I've had he GS3 for a week now and I'm still using my GS2 because of the SMS in the call logs (plus other annoyances of touchwiz).
For the GS2 a mod was made to remove the SMS entries plus also display original time of sending, the ability to add more than 10 contacts and also disable the mms convert.
Is this possible for GS3?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure once more phones get in the hands of developers we'll start to see more and more mods and custom firmware. Remember the phone hasn't even been out a week!

Yes, but you will see sms logs again when you go to logs next time.

It's true. Stock ROM doesn't save the selection. You have to select "All Calls" every time you return to the log after a given amount of time.
So is this mod available by now?

Hello,
I have an 3G N7 and know that it can not receive / send SMS. OK, that is what was told of.
But today I got a notification that I have a message in notification bar, opened it and it looked like a regular SMS message.
Then I tested myself, I sent a normal SMS to my tablet gsm number and received it instantly. I'm on Vodafone if that makes any sense.
Build number is JDQ39 - baseband 1231_0.17.0_1205, Kernel 3.1.10-g05b777c.
Obviously this is some app inside that handles the received message, what's the app name ? location ? at least is interesting to know that at least SMS I can receive. How can I access it ?
Best regards,
Radu
Hi, i also have the same question. Anybody knows?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Download Go sms from store.
Google Voice works great on the N7 for sending and receiving sms, also. Sms works over wifi or data.
I maybe not beein too explicit.
I have received two SMS, regular kind, sent through my gsm carrier.
As i received them, means there is some app that recognise it and can handle the sms.
Question is, what is the app, how can i acces the messages received.
I'm aware of various solutions for sms that require to have an online account, in order to handle sms, do not want to use this kind of service.
Also, there is hack to install sms/mms apk by rooting, but, again this is not the object of my question.
I just want to check my incoming sms's for now.
Best regards,
Radu
Like mentioned above, if you install gosms or any other third party app it should allow you to view that text message that came through the carrier

Long press the notification and press "App Info" and that will tell you the name of the app.
Hello again,
Here is screenshot and detaild of the app.
As it says it receives SMS, but also can write SMS- see last line, in theory.
Question is, where can find this app. Looks to be hidden..
Sent from my Nexus 7
How to do so with stock mms.apk has already been covered here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34282107
Right in the N7 3G dev section. XDA search function is highly recommended

Hello Rebel,
I know the MMS.APK, saw it, thank you for heads up.
My specific question is, why should I use that, if I have an app already installed. I do get SMSs from any regular gsm phone, without being necessary to create an online account for GOSMSPRO or whatever similar. The screen shot says that I might be able to send also, on my cost SMSs. No probIem, just want to find that app that handles the SMS received. Can I do that ? can I send using same app that is ALREADY installed?
thank you for patience

So it seems the 'Simple message receiver' is an app that comes with the 3g N7. Mine is just wi-fi, so I can't check, but does your app drawer have that app? If you check Settings > Apps > All, is it listed there? I have no idea how to open it if it is not in the app drawer or if you would be able to send using it anyway. Interesting that it is included in the 3G version.

Yes. As thw thread states, they are successfully receiving and sending sms from the same app over gsm, just as you would on a phone. The only difference i forsee is doing so with a dedicated data sim, or using the sim from your existing phone.
Many are using the latter, and using other apps to forward thier phone calls to the data side, and using sms normally.

Have you tried 8sms? You can raise the cap in there to 500.
Whatsapp....the internet usage is so low. On average, statistics show that you'll be able to send over 1 million 2kb messages on a 2gb data plan and unless you chat a lot, thats going to be nye impossibe to do.
