Now I believe this is something that has been happening since 1.5 and its a little annoying, I wanted to check with you guys to see if this too is irritating to more people.
now to send a new Text msg, I type the first couple letters of the name and wait for the possible contacts to show and select, now what irritates me is that not only do the mobile numbers show up but also their home numbers, now I know that technology has gotten better and that on some cases home numbers can receive text msgs(verizon fios customers I believe has this feature). but 99.999% of the time you are only texting mobiles.
so the 1 million dollar question, can this be modified so that it only shows mobile numbers ???
I've looked at the settings for messages and didn't find anything there, if you guys have found something please let me know.
im running dc 2.1 rom, but I've seen this on all roms used on my hero.
Im trying to remember if aosp has the same issue, maybe some aosp guys can check for me.
I had the g1 before the hero and I dont remember having this, but well its been a while.
Thanks.
I believe it just pulls up all contact information for the contact you're entering. It WOULD be nice if it had a smart feature to just show the mobile number, I agree. But I don't believe there's a setting for it.

Yeah, but I think he's talking about the default messaging app.
I dont know if everyone is aware but Sprint has text to landline. Anytime you send a text message to a landline Sprint leaves a message. Ive been using this feature for the past 6 months. It works in english and spanish. Not perfect but good enough. Im guessing its included on the simply everything plans Because I did not request any service like this. Anyway:
The Default messages app is limited to 10 contacts at a time
There also an issue with spanish characters like ó,é,i,ñ, etc. Well, its not a android issue, is that most other phones do not support these characters and the whole text message gets messed up
If I was you I would switch to Handscent.

Handcent is a little intimidating at the beginning. Play with the options for a while and you'll get the full potential.

This is because Carriers supports Text to landline now, were you can send a text to a home phone.

But you don't have to. Works great "right out of the box"
Might just want to enable notifications from handcent and disable notifications from the Messages app.

I agree. I meant intimidating because the amount of options that are available for modification.
So I'm finally getting an android phone and I'd like to keep my iphone text messages if possible. I've found some paid apps through web searches but I'm wondering if there's any good free way (preferably without losing imessages being associated with a phone number) or at least some feedback from actual users on which paid app is best/worth it.
I read online that samsung kies will do this, but Im not positive as I dont have my S3 yet. I have a 4S atm.
There are also ways online that show how to extract items from your most recent backup.
Hopefully there is an easier way.
Im interested in moving my calendar over as well as I have already updated my contacts at google.com/contacts
I think I saw that comment about Samsung Kies but I actually have no idea what Kies is and the only thing on the S3 about kies is Kies Air which starts looking for compatible devices. Guess I'll have to check it out.
Samsung Kies is an app for your PC/Mac. Kies Air is an app for your device. Make sure your are looking at the right application.
Well Kies did transfer the messages to my S3. It took freaking FOREVER, like 2 hours for 5500 text messages and it lost a little bit (MMS images were lost and it seems like some imessages came through fine but I'm fairly positive some were lost, no idea what was the determining factor but the majority seemed to work or at least well enough).
The guy at the ATT store told me he could do it, i don't know what they actually use but i said id just do everything myself.

They use a Cellbrite machine, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Personally I like to remove my texts from my phone but I have them back up to my gmail with SMS Backup+

My brother on his Nexus 4 16GB LTE (as were from Canada and LTE works on the Nexus 4 here) keeps getting this sending SMS error. It reads as follows
Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?
Deny or Allow
He has to keep clicking allow all the time as its the stock google messaging app he is using.
Now my question is has anyone else experienced this on the nexus 4. He said its really pissing him off. I checked if he had a bad app installed and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
So does any one know how to fix this issue. We went into settings and increased and removed the messaging limit and the problem keeps on popping up still.
Check the picture for how it looks.
Now some of you might experience this issue when you send massive amounts of text messages!
Any help would be nice! Thanks in advance!

There is a setting under security or something like that that limits the number of texts that can be sent in a set period of time. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to remove this on the Stock ROM. The feature is not built into over AOSP ROMs (like CM) so if this is his first Nexus device (and plain AOSP) he may not be used to this problem.
I'm not sure if the setting is built into the framework or just the MMS.apk, if it's the later you could probably swap in the MMS.apk from CM

Wow you serious what douche bags would not at least give you the option to allow legit messages. I understand bad apps taking advantage of that but for the stock messaging app it should be a one time disable option.
So to install the CM mms apk will I need root access. We don't want to root out phones at this time.

Rooting your phone takes 30 seconds and its risk free. Why wouldn't you want to? It can easily be disabled at any time.. Btw I'm from Canada too on lte but I guess I don't text enough to suffer that issue

You'll need the ROM, not just the APK. The CM10 settings for this "feature" are in the ROM settings, not the APK.
That said, if you were rooted, there's probably a mod that can be done rather than flashing a custom ROM.

You need to send a ****load of messages in a short time to even trigger this, and it goes away after a minute or two. If you want to get rid of it, root the phone. If you don't want to root the phone, try another SMS app or you're SoL.

Hey guys,
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means taking credit for this, I am just sharing what I found because I know how hard the information can be to find on the internet. As you should already know, you are always responsible for you own device
So we have dual sim phones? That means 2 phone numbers right? So why not 2 Whatsapp at the same time as well?
Well the idea hit me today that I needed another Whatsapp for my second number, so I went searching again for this information and just like searching for root for my N9208 dual sim, the information was all over the place with different ways of accomplishing it. Most of the result indicated that I needed root which I was ok with because I had root, but I thought about my fellow note 5 pees who didn't have root and I found one that was so easy and didn't need root.
1. You are going to download the original Whatsapp from the play store if you don't already have it, set it up with any of the number in your dual sim and make sure its working.
Note: Skip step one (1) if you already have the original Whatsapp setup
2. Next you are going to download Whatsmapp from here or the original site here.
3. Install the Whatsmapp apk as you would any other apk.
4. Setup the Whatsmapp with your second number in your dual sim
5. Profit
This information was accumulated by searching the web. My thanks goes out to all developers who help me to arrive this solution. If you, a developer come here and see a violation that I overlooked please inbox me and I will rectify it right away Thanks again
The better way is to install My Knox and just have two official WhatsApp apps running one in knox and one regular
Whatsmapp is a pita to keep updated
Thanks for sharing I am also using whatsmapp for less than a week so far so good. Let's keep this thread active.

Thank you thank you for the Knox idea.
I was trying to search for another Viber app so i could have both my viber accounts on the same phone since im on a dual sim phone
Now because of the Knox idea im able to have both my personal and business accounts for whatsapp and viber active at the same time.
Ill have to use my fingerprint to access the other account but thats a small price to pay.
Thank you very much again. This made my day

The easiest way if you are using a Note 5, and any Knox equipped Samsung phone, is to just use MyKnox. This gives you the option to not just run two separate WhatsApps (and original apps) but other apps as well (Telegram, Skype, etc..) seamlessly, and in a secure container (with quick access because you can use your fingerprint to auth between them). It's really quick, nice and easy.
Secondly, you do not necessarily have to have a Dual SIM. All you need at the time of setting those up is to insert the SIM you need to use, set up the app, then remove it. Of course this will work until you reset, or you could back up and restore using samsung cloud after reset. The other option is to use telephone call auth, since both whatsapp, telegram etc all can call the number to send you the auth PIN/code. So that number can technically be in a different phone than the one you are setting up.
This is the one REALLY lovely and cool feature that myknox has, and a real edge samsung has over the bunch (unfortunately not many users know this).

I just read that the always on display so far shows only text, Email and missed calls. I'm owning a moto x and the active display is one of my favorite features. Especially that it shows me a preview of the message and the sender. So I know whether it's worth to open the app or just dismiss it. For those who already got the phone, how do you deal with that? Any 3rd party apps that supports the always on display and whatsapp.
Hey,
Unfortunately, it is not like the active display, it only shows missed calls or messages no 3partyapps if need one like the moto active display u can download the app " Ac display its almost the same like the moto one here a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
And a screen from the always on options and possibilities
http://imgur.com/a/uzUfR
But in my opinion its a nice feature so u got always in time
Greetings Paddy-
Thanks Paddy,
I played a little bit with acdisplay the last days. Do you know how I can make as a always on display? It only pops up when I have notifications. I would like to use like samsungs active display for testing.
Just received my pre-ordered S7 EDGE. To cut it short, with no ROOT or other tweaks at the moment, the AOD only shows missed calls and text messages (not even e-mails). So although a nice attempt, if fails lamentably. It is only really useful if you want to check the time or battery power most of the time.
Also, off topic, the edge display is also nice, but not actually useful since it does not pop up when screen is off and a notification arrives.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree is pretty useless atm - i think wish the clock would work with the green pines image combination - i hope they make it more useful otherwise much about nothing
I did have it on overnight and i noticed in 8h it only eat up 5% which is not bad at all
PS: where did you pre-ordered the phone from? are there any shops selling in on preorder in Romania??
thanks
Yeah it's really just a way to check the time. using a 3rd party text app (google messenger in my case) you don't even get the text. All i get is the missed calls and time and battery. I'm ok with that though. I get notifications on my Gear S. the time and battery are usually the only things I look for if screen is off. If I get a blinking LED i know i have a notification waiting anyways.
Agreed that it's a bit limiting at present, but looking at other areas of the phone (themes / camera) Samsung have added options to download additional functionality. They'll almost definitely do something similar to always on display!
If you ask me, I think Samsung quickly implemented the Always-On screen after their "spies" found out that LG will have it, or maybe seeing the V10 success with the second screen. Otherwise I really can't understand why would you bother to implement such a useful feature in such a horrible manner. Who uses SMS these days ? Almost no one. Yet missed SMS messages are are part of the feature while missing any other useful notification. Even their own email application doesn't use the feature. I really hope that the next update brings huge improvements on this.
I remember in my S6 edge there was the Edge display which could be always on with ROOT and Mods.. And laso it would show new notifications. Hopefully development will start soon as we have Root

Careful about your assumptions, there are plenty of people that still use SMS (such as myself and most of my friends/family/coworkers). That being said, I agree the implementation of this basically misses the point, unless you just want a desk clock.

The problem is that you missed the point of my post. There are tons of applications delivering notifications, and if the always-on screen is to fulfill its promise, all the notifications should be displayed in some way.

All major retailers in Romania offered pre-orders. I've got mine with the gear vr for a really good price. Mine arrived on the 9th of March as well.
My question is: can be the what's app, facebook, gmail ecc notifications on AOD implemented by software in the future?
i use the always on feature all the time ,but like the rest of us, i wished it showed part of sms message if not all and the email message who the call was from etc , would be good if could just reply as well ,i think i am getting ahead of myself there lol
