Hi!
As I said in the title of the post, on every ICS ROM I use, the main problem is CONTACTS in messages, more precisely when I start to create new message and when I add recipient from Contacts I don't see all Contacts!!! For example, I have 10 people which name start with "Joh...", and when I type that in recipient in MESSAGES, it show me only 3-4 people which name start with "Joh..,"!!!

I would like to know the answer to this myself.

Dunno. With aospx it seems to work fine. When I start to type a name a little scrollable list comes down with options and I just scroll down til I find a name. Then again I don't have tons of just "john"s in my contacts, I tend to add something else so that I know who is who as in "gay john", "johnny cash", etc.

Do you have your Facebook contacts syncing with your phone?

Ive downloaded and use Handcent and yes it is nice. The reason I looked for and started using it was because of the lack of add recipient option when composing a new message in the stock app that is included. I feel like Im just missing how to do this in the stock app. Is it possible? It seems like it would be the most basic option but I can't seem to figure out how.

Normally,in the stcok app, after you put the name of the recipient, you just have to tap again inside the recipient box to add another one. else if you put phone number instead of a contact in the phonebook, then you just have to put a comma between the two phone number.
You misunderstood. The idea is that I don't want to have to type in their name. I want to be able to choose from my list of contacts in my phonebook.
I think the only options now are separating recipients with commas or FORWARD the message to another recipient after you have sent it out. I prefer the latter since it doesn't create a whole new thread.
lol is no one actually reading the question???
I haven't come across a way to add recipients, I always just type the 1st 2 letters and add them from that, IMO its easier than scrolling through a list of a few hundred people
Open contact list. Long press contact then select send message. It then opens messaging app.

Seeing as everyone is misunderstanding you're request I will give you the short answer.. No.
You can't select multiple recipients from a list in the stock app, unlike handscent, where you can.

HAHAHA!!! Best answer ever!!
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

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!!

Using Google voice. Is there any way I can disable my text messages from going through voice and instead using stock android messaging? Its really annoying.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Just go into the Google Voice settings and then sync and notifications. There you can disable the notifications.
do i uncheck "inbox notifications"? i already had "text messages" unchecked.
Wondering the same thing. I don 't have anything checked and everything is still routing to my GV inbox. Aggravating.
Go to www.google.com/voice
Click on Settings in the top right corner
Find your Sprint phone in the list of phones and click Edit
Toggle the check box for "Receive text messages on this phone."
(I don't know if this works or not but someone can try it )

Everything is going to be in your Google voice inbox, you can't change that. Unselect notifications in your phone's Google voice app.

This is exactly what you need to do.
I had this problem yesterday.
First, go into the Google Voice app on your phone and turn off all notifications.
Then, goto voice.google.com and change the setting Matt2053 is talking about.
Works perfect for me now.

Maybe im not understanding you, but is that not what you wanted?
You say texts are now coming to your text app, and that you are only getting notifications for the text app.
Sounds like its working normally to me.

Correct ... but on Google voice app and web site there is still a copy of the text I have received or sent to someone ...
Now my question is will there always we 2 copies as long as I have my Sprint number linked to Google voice?
If so that blows but I guess its a small price to pay...

Yes, there will always be two copies.
But honestly thats partly why i love having it integrated.
You can check your texts from your phone or your computer. You can even send texts using your number from your computer if you wanted to.
Its neat!

I don't mind getting messages via gvoice, i'm just trying to receive messages via stock app. It just sucks having to go thru gvoice to access my texts.

You have to enable your phone to receive texts in the settings under google.com/voice. Make sure its checked. But you will be double notified, which annoys me.

I'm not using Google Voice because of this. I used to use it because of the visual voicemail and it being converted to text, but I don't want it running everything on my phone. It needs much more customization.
Hi, just a quick question.
I've got the new Facebook Messenger app with working SMS and chat heads.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the Facebook Messages would be threaded with SMS, so green bubble, blue bubble, etc. If you're offline, it'll send a text, etc.
However, if I'm talking to someone and then choose to SMS, I can create two chat heads for the same person. Is there away to combine these contacts so SMS and Facebook messages become threaded?
Cheers,

I heard someone else complaining of this, so I imagine they keep them separate on purpose but I can't say for sure.
Hmm, I don't know why I can't get it working. I even reinstalled it but there's no option for chat heads anywhere.

I managed to get it working perfectly but I'm rooted, running CM 10.1. Tap and hold a message, a popup comes up and then you hit 'pop out chat head'.

Hey, how did you get the sms and fb messages threaded on one chat?
With Sense and CM10.1 on the Evo 3D, I could read texts or at least see who texts were from without going into the messaging app. With Touchwiz on the S4, the dropdown notification just says that there's a new message. Since expandable notifications are a big part of JB, why doesn't the messaging app use them? Is there any way I can change this behavior without rooting or installing another ROM yet?
Download another messaging app such as handcent or go sms?

1. Go to the messaging app.
2. In the main part of the app (not inside individual thread) tap settings button.
3. Scroll down and look for the "Preview Message" and check that option.
4. Multiple messages can be previewed by sliding down with two fingers on the message notfication.
5. Hit thanks if this helped

This.
It's a feature some people use because they don't want their messages being shown the second they get them for privacy in case anyone is looking at their phone. Be sure to peek around in the settings.
