[Q] SMS Issues with phone numbers

Hi, I'm not sure is this has been answered or not but when i open a new sms and add the contact it will send the message fine. But when i go back to that same thread and try to send another message it wont send. I did notice that when I add the contact for a new message there is just their normal number no problem but once i leave that message and come back there is a "+" in front of the number and not allowing it to send. I'm not using any SMS apps or anything. So far this has only happened with 2 of my contacts. Ive gone into the contacts within my phone and gmail and there are no "+" in front of the numbers. Anyone know how to fix this??? Droid X
I have the same problem with one contact i just went arount the stock testing and set up a google voice for texting. one plus is i no longer need a unlimited texting plan just the 5.00 250 message plan.

[Q] Question about Gmail Notifications

So here's my problem - when I read an e-mail from gmail on my computer, I get a notification from gmail on the phone that I have a new email. I guess when the new mail number goes down, it sends a notification, even though I haven't actually gotten a new email. For instance, if I have 10 unread emails in gmail, and read one of them on a computer, my phone will emit one notification, when the unread count goes from 10 to 9. It's starting to drive me nuts, but I can't find how to fix it.
Anyone else experience this? How can I fix it so that my phone gmail only gives a notification when a new email actually arrives? Not every time the unread count changes?
No responses...? I'm assuming either I wasn't clear or no one else is experiencing this...or that this is the norm and I'm bat****. Either way, I'd appreciate someone with some info to tell me which of these is the reality, cuz if there IS something I can do about it, I would really like to know. Or, if there's nothing I can do about it, to just make myself get over it lol.
Again, briefly: When I read a gmail email on my computer, I get a notification on my phone showing that the unread messages have gone down by one. Is there a setting so that I only get notifications when a NEW EMAIL actually arrives?
I swear I've been playing all around with gmail and can't figure this out.
Im having a problem with it telling me I have 10 emails in the application on phone, but I have to sync a dozen times for it to show me a few of them.

[Q] Samsung Gear Live won't send text?

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...

[Q] Email to Text call log

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?
