SMS software - General Questions and Answers

I am looking for some decent SMS software.
I find the basic SMS features on my Touch HD very limited.. done the usual Google search but don't seem to be getting very far.
What I would like:
Ideally, to allow me to create and manage folders, (associated with my contact list) and my incoming texts; if possible similar also on my outgoing texts.
To show delivery reports (in detail if possible) both SMS and MMS.
Has anyone come across something that my search may have missed.. cheers..

Can't text multiple contacts

On my Tilt, when I try to text multiple contacts, the Add Recipient option is disabled - anyone know why?
Thanks.
Not quite sure why yours is doing that....I just tested this on my Uni, and it works for me (adding multiple recipients by clicking "MENU --> ADD RECIPIENT...").
What I would recommend is a program called "Group SMS" (can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354164&highlight=groupsms
I find this program to be an even better way of SMS'ing multiple contacts. It will also read the Category that you assign to them in Outlook (if any).
Hope this is a good workaround if you don't find a solution!

Send text message to group contacts only on not answer call

Thank you to all the developers on this site. It has answered already most of my queries that I had upon receiving my new HTC Diamond 2.
I am very happy with the device and using some of the tweaks and programs the phone is now nearly set up exactly how I want it.
However there is one feature that I think is missing. As standard the HTC D2 will allow a call to be rejected and a standard text message be sent. But this will be sent to all callers.
I do not want to spend money sending a sms to cold callers for example. Just wondering if it would be possible to create an application that could expand on the standard function.
Some ideas for the app would be:
Send sms only to contacts in the address book that are included in a catergory or multiple catergories.
Send a different sms depending on the catergory of the contact.
Set up profiles to define the reason for not answering call, eg in meeting, driving, sleeping etc
Of cause the above list is not exhaustive.
Would like peoples opinions on this function and whether some one would be able to create. I would of course offer to test the app. Sorry do not have the current skills to create the app.
In advance thanks for reading this message and for replies.

Do you use it on your android? What do you think of it?
I use it on my Evo. I like it A LOT better than the standard messenger because it lets you customize EVERYTHING about how you send, receive, view, and get notified by messages. I find it just as quick as the standard android messenger and (obviously) more visually appealing. My ONLY gripe about it is that it seems to have problems with MMS messeges sometimes (If it does, I just send the messages via the standard messenger)
Definitely one of my favorite/most useful apps
I've used it on my Droid from the day I got it, but since I got Froyo its been horrible. It force closes every few hours, and lately its been showing me the incorrect contacts on my threads.
Loved it, but not using it anymore.
It's good. It's not great because its support forums are just awful; hardly any reports have been replied to by a moderator/developer in the past month or so, and most have yet to be fixed (going back many months ago).
It is wayyy faster than the HTC messaging app in every aspect: opening the app, loading a conversation, sending a message, showing contact images, etc.
Are you gonna do something with these issues, davidandroid?

[Q] [WM6.5] Searching GPS-App with SMS service but without internet connection

Hello,
I am looking for a GPS-app that can send my actual position to a friend by sms. The receiving Phone should be able to show the distance and direction to the sended GPS-data without using internet.
I found lots of apps on the www that can send the position by SMS or email. But when I read the description or installed them on my phone I found out that none of them could read the incoming sms and show the direction and distance to the partner without using google maps or other internet-based maps. I also found some apps that can show me distance and direction to a GPS-position, but I found no way how to copy the data from the sms into the programs. Copying to the clipboard from the SMS worked, but how should I get them into the program without typing them on the keyboard, if there is no paste-function?
The SMS should only be invoked by the sending party as one single sms without repeating periodically, that means I don´t want a spy function that answers to a incoming sms with GPS-data without asking the owner of the phone. The software should run on "HTC Touch II" and "HTC Touch Pro II", both with Windows Mobile 6.5. Multilanguage (including German) would be great.
Sorry for asking on that website, but all programs I found missed at least one of my wishes. Who can help me?

SMS app to combine conversations from the same contact in the same chat window

Hy there,
I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)
I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.
So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.
I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.
Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.
P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...
Thank you very much for Your answer.
