I got the Samsung Gear at IO (yea) and have been going through the user adjustment phase, happily have pretty much everything working (I use a Galaxy Nexus as the phone stock. I receive text and I can send emails (from the watch) but for some reason I can't send text from the watch. It says it is sent, goes through all the motions, asks for recipient, clarifies to send to the mobile number and gets the text via voice and then says it is sending and gives a success green check, but the message is lost does not show on phone hangout or messaging log, nor does the recipient get it.. Anyone have any ideas?? or is my problem unique to me?
Hidden choice message on Phone for sending text
Finally found my "missing texts.. when I was sending, the phone was opening a choice dialog to choose between Google voice or messaging, I chose messaging and checked always and all is now working, buy the way retweeting to twitter using the bunting app has a similar issue, it opens the native vs edit retweet chice, which cannot be set to default one way so you need to pull the phone out...

It would be great if this could be integrated into an app (much like what OZ messaging does, since it uses SMS).
yup, cept for the fact that OZ needs a data connection
doing the SMS way, you will have full control and won't get disconnected like agile messenger im+ and all those other messenger program, because you don't need a data connection.
only if we could incorporate it into a program like imsms
Is there a program that uses text messages instead of data?
I've recently installed Android on my HD2 and I absolutely love it. The one thing that isn't working 100% is the SMS inbox. Some messages appear 3-4 times and some are nowhere to be seen. Those are SMS I sent and received after installing so it's not a dodgy import. I'm using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you talking about SMS or message in box of your xda account or your google mail inbox account? You don't call a text message as message inbox. Anything with message inbox that's an email. SMS is to use texting to send to another phone. MMS is to use picture or a short video clip to send to another phone.
My bad. In my own little world messages are SMS. Yesterday's SMS all seem to have been stored correctly. Maybe it was a one off. If anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

I can recommend using GO SMS Pro as opposed to the stock one,much better.
I've played around some more and installed Go SMS Pro, which is pretty cool. The problem with wrong SMS display persists though.
I think it's when I send SMS via the voice command of the google bar, they don't get stored correctly when I look at them in the history. For example I just sent a message via voice command but the content of the messages in Go SMS is wrong. It shows up with the same message text as the previous SMS I sent, or not at all. I haven't found anything on the problem anywhere. Does anybody have any Suggestions?
I recently switched from a Motorola android phone on Verizon to an S5 on AT&T
I spent many hours with AT&T and Samsung phone support over the weekend trying to get to the bottom of a problem I am having -
When the phone receives a text via email. Instead of appearing in the text logs as the FROM email address, it uses some id that is associated with a server somehow. The first text via email I received is showing the caller as 1210100001 and it increments from there. After having received many more texts via email I am now up to 1210100031. When I receive messages from AT&T, I see IDs of different lengths but I don't care about those.
When you receive a text via email the first thing you see in the message is "FRM: [email protected] but in the log it shows up as 12101000xx
On my Motorola/Verizon/Android the FROM email address appears in the log as the sender and more importantly emails from the same address are all grouped together. As a matter of fact I backed up the SMS from that phone and imported it into the S5. I can go back in my history and see the texts grouped by sender so that you can scroll through and see all your conversations on one screen. On the S5 I can only see one text at a time. No grouping of any kind.
AT&T says the problem is with Samsung. Samsung says that's how it works period and I should go back to Motorola (shocking).
I downloaded a third party SMS app but find the same thing in the log. Shouldn't all android phones work the same in regards to this?
Is there a way I can get it to work the way it did on Motorola? I am rooted now. Will a custom ROM correct the problem?
OK I guess this is a difference between AT&T sms gateway and Verizon SMS gateway.
My big problem is not being able to see all the email texts in one scrollable screen in chronological order.
Anybody know how I could view all message logs from sender 12010100xxx in one long scrollable view in chronological order?
I was wondering if anybody has found a fix for Contact-Specific Message Alerts? It uses the default notification no matter what you set up in Contacts / Message alert. I see the problem all over the web. Some say the fixed it by changing from Messages to Message+, other say they fixed it by changing from Message+ to Messages, some say to add SMS PopUp, some try factory reset with no avail. Based on date of posts and the different phones that have the problem, It appears this has been a problem for a long time, and is not not specific to the Note 3. It covers at least from the Note 3 to the Note 4, which would include at least the S4 and S5. In Contacts, I simply select from the standard alerts that came with the phone. I don't have Zedge installed or anything like that. It doesn't matter if I have the microSD card installed or not. Some say that it happens if the contacts are on the SIM, but this is a CDMA phone, and the only SIM it has is for Verizon LTE. I have a Google account, but I don't let Google store my information. I've read about the myriad of reliability and other issues of using 3rd party messaging apps. I just want to use the reliable Messages app that ships as the default on the phone, not some 3rd party app on someone else's server. I want contact-specific alerts so I will jump only when a monitor tells me about a server with issues, not every time there is a text message.
Thanks!
I have figured out my issues, but more importantly I am figuring out how things work. This issue is not specific to any particular Samsung phone or Android version.
Samsung Messages app and requirements
- The Messages app is the default Samsung messaging app. It is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, which has the ability to define a "Message tone"(S5) or "Message alert"(Note 3) by contact. The property may already display in Contacts, or you may have to press a button in Contacts to add the field. Then simply specify the alert/tone you want.
- The contact must be a DEVICE Contact. For example, in my case I use Akrutosync to sync my Outlook with my phone. This requires setting up an Active Sync. Outlook and the phone sync perfectly, however any contact synced like this will only play the default Message tone/Message alert. If you go into the contact, and look at the Connection property, it will show Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. In order for it work work, it must say Device.
- The contact must have a phone number, and that number must be the source of the incoming message. For myself in the IT industry, it is commonplace to have server monitors send a text message via ###-###-####@vtext.com from an e-mail address. We want a different tone/alert for a server down than normal texts. The messages will show as coming from the proper contact, but it will only trigger the default Message tone/Message alert. Samsung said it shouldn't work that way, but I don't have a work-around for the problem.
Verizon Messages+ app and requirements
- Verizon Messages+ app is the default messaging app for Verizon phones. Messages+ can use Verizon's cloud if desired and your account supports it. That makes it simpler to create and respond to text messages for a specific phone number from multiple devices, including computers and tablets. It also means Verizon has access to your personal correspondence. However, even as a local application, It has built-in functionality to record an MMS message, send postcards, pictures from storage or camera, add captions to pictures, markup pictures, make collages, send your location with the click of a button, activate Glympse so people can follow you or link up with you, send someone a contact, send an MP3 or WAV file.
- Messages+ is designed to work with the default Samsung Contacts app, but DOES NOT USE the "Message tone"(S5) / "Message alert"(Note 3) property in Contacts.
- There is no way to do a contact-specific tone/alert in Message+. The best you can do is a conversation-specific tone/alert, and never delete the entire conversation. To do a conversation-specific tone/alert, at the top left next to the contact's picture, there are 3 horizontal lines. Flick those to the right to open a new window. Scroll to "Customize conversation", and then select Tones where you can select your tone for the conversation. Of course if you ever delete the conversation, the tone you set up will be lost also, and the next time you receive a message from the same contact, you will receive the default tone/alert. Message+ does not make use of the Message alert/tone set up in Contacts.
Note: Even when a 3rd party messaging app is set up correctly, you may still get the default tone. You may need to go to the main settings menu, pick 'Sound' then scroll down to 'Messages' under Samsung applications and turn that off.
Let me know if this helps you with your situation.
I'm having this strange issue where my messenger has decided to start converting conversations to MMS automatically for some reason. It seems to be when I am texting iphone users, but I can't 100% confirm that.
For simplicity's sake let's say I start a new text message conversation with someone. I add them to the recipients section and send them a message. First one works fine. Now I press the back key to go back to the screen where all my conversations are shown. Instead of the contact name that was there when I started conversation, the phone number is displayed followed by the @provider.com (IE [email protected]). If I go back into the conversation i get a little popup at the bottom saying "Converting to MMS." The contact at the top is still listed as the phone number and not the contact name. If I try sending a message it doesn't go through.
I scrolled through my conversation window and I noticed that my phone also converted several old conversations in this same fasion (changed the recipient to a [email protected]). Now anytime i need to send a text to one of these people I have to start a new conversation every single time.
I tried to clear cache out and data for the messaging app and it continued to happen. The weirdest part about this is that the default messaging app, and gosms both convert the conversations, but textra does not.
Has anyone ever experienced this type of behavior before? I did some googling but couldn't turn anything up.
Something similar: when I write slightly longer SMS, it tells me: converting to mms, and they don't go through. This didn't happen to my previous phones. . But I did not notice the change in recipient ID.

I think you cab set the max length inside an XML in system. I can't remember which duke though, sorry.
It sounds like you have a short limit, which causes the text to become an MMS.
