Group Texting

Hi Guys
probably a very common request but, has anyone seen an app that properly integrates into the WM address/contacts book and allows group texting?
I've tried some poor apps that are outside of the address book and (sadly) most of them don't work properly anyway :-(
Thanks in advance!

Don't know if you have tried this but Auto SMS Reply v 2.0 has a tool called Send MASS Sms that sends group of SMS to your contacts. It also has a host of other features like automatically sending SMS to your missed calls etc..
I use a TYTN 2, WM 6.1 ROM and auto SMS works fine for me..

thanks for that. Not heard of it so will download now and give it a try

lol - found it and had a look and whilst i think the "SMS Call blocker" auto-response could be very funny, its not really what I was after.
I really want something that integrates into the current address book system, thanks anyway though!

Group SMS can do wat you want. And it does a very good job if I may say so!
Only disadvantage might be that it's not intergrated into your address book, but for me that's no problem.

Thanks for that however, used that one and it didn't work very well for me at all! Problems ranged from not sending to all the group to some members of the group receiving the same message a few times.

That's to bad. I've used v1.4.5 on the HTC Trinity, TouchCruise and Kaiser. And it worked very good actually.
Hope you'll find the right app. for you..

try the app i hv developed and see whether it works for you.

Group SMS or...?

Hi,
I have been looking for some kind of add-on, which allows me to pick more than one contact, at a time, when I wish to forward an SMS.
Been looking at Group SMS, but don't like the idea about creating the group in Outlook and then synchronize.
The function that I'm looking for is in Android, but not in WM 6.5, as I had hoped.
Thx. for any help.

Just try search function.

Thx. but I was'nt looking for GroupSMS.
What I'm looking for is the option to pick more than one reciver, without accessing the contactlist for each one.
Just like it's done on a normal mobilephone or Android phone

Again, search...

I'm using stock WM6.5 and it is possible to keep choosing contacts to sen a new message.
I can select as many as I want in the to area.
edit: U want to Forward the message, OK.

Funny things about forum's "Search" and "search again" and all you get is GroupSMS, which is what I would like to avoid.
Only, and simple thing, I'm looking for is til posiblety to put a checkmark, by the one's from my contactlist, who I would like to forward the SMS to.
The only thing, that looks like what I'm looking for is somthing called "Contact Picker package" but under the "Blackstone ROM development"

I dont think it will work on my Diamond 2

Group SMS
SKB Group SMS 5.2
This might help for sending to multiple recepients.
The con so far is, when message sending failed, you won't be notified.

group texting

i need a way to set up a distribution group so that i can just send a mass text to everyone. i don't want to get handsent or any other messager, i liike the stock one.
i've already created the group on my gmail but it doesn't seem to sync to my phone, anyone know how i can accomplish this?

i use GO SMS
it does group texting super easy and convenient
the only bug is that if you attach any photo or document to the group SMS/MMS only the first person will get the attachment, the rest only gets the text

I used handcent for group messaging, u can try that. Also, u can customize it to ur liking.

WatchIt notification tips?

I successfully updated my Samsung Galaxy SIII from a 4.1.2 ROM (BoneStock 3.4) to a TW 4.3 ROM (Mother of All ROMs, aka MOAR 7.1). After a few tries (resetting watch, deleting and reinstalling apps, and pairing, unpairing, repairing watch and phone) I was successful at getting the phone and watch to play nice with each other. So I installed WatchIt, gave it permissions on notifications under security. And now WatchIt and the watch is getting notifications. All sorts of notifications... and lots of them.
So I know I can go into my phone, and change preferences and "toasts" (btw, what is the difference between a notification and toast? Are toasts when it tells you to choose a setting, like selecting Switftkey as your keyboard?). Before I mess things up, I thought I would ask the many experts here running WatchIt which apps you disabled notifications (and toasts... what ever they are)?
EDIT: Since there is a really long list of apps to decide whether to ignore, allow notifications, allow toasts, or allow both... is there a faster easier method, eg ignore all, then allowing notifications from just the list of apps or services desired? Sorry if this has been asked and answered already.
It also mentions DayDream as a way to configure... any info and guidance on this would be much appreciated! Also, any apps you think work really well with WatchIt (like... ways to get NBA, NFL, and MLB scores).
Many thanks in advance!!

And I feel dumb replying to my question... but I was able to figure out how to disallow all notifications, then allowing notifications from the apps I wanted. But I must not have it correctly set up, since when I had someone send me a test text message, I only got a WatchIt notification that I received a text message... but not the text message itself on the watch. Did I make a mistake with a setting, either on the phone, the watch, or both?
btw, I found a sports score app on the PlayStore called 365Scores that seems to be very well-reviewed. So hopefully that sends the scores of my favorite teams (selected in the app) to my watch.

You dont need to use watchit for sms. Just use the messaging app from Sony and use watchit only for apps that dont have apps for sw2 and/or you want to receice some notifies.
If you still want to use watchit for sms, have you tried differend setting for it? "show both" (watchit - app setting - sms -> "show both"). Im not sure does it work, I use Sony messaging for sms.

First ff, thanks for the reply. And yes, that makes sense, so I had Messaging, Gmail, and any other extension ignored and the only apps that it now receives notifications for is the stock Email app and the new Sports app. I will use the previous extensions I had successfully used when I was on the 4.1.2 ROM. I verified that text messages now go through and pop up on the watch.
I also tried an email... and that didn't. Will I receive the actual emails via WatchIt? If not, will switching to a different email client like K9 work? On the prior ROM, I had my "stock" (Comcast) emails go to my Gmail account, which then was seen by the watch. So worst case I can go back to that approach.
Will any of the notifications (eg from the new sports app) show up on the watch? Not just a "hey, you just got a notification from 365Sports", but the actual score of the game its reporting?
Again, thanks for the help!!

A later update. Seems I can now get email notifications from the phone to the watch via WatchIt... but they seem to come as a group of emails (three or four at a time), only the email title and sender. As such its not as useful as when I was getting my mail routed through Gmail.
And... it appears that the Gmail extension may not work with 4.3 (at least that is what one review of the app in Play Store said). So going from 4.1.2 to 4.3 in order to use WatchIt does not appear to have been a good move.
I will try switching to K9 as my email client and then try the K9 extension. That combo didn't work for me when I was on 4.1.2 (so I instead routed the email to Gmail).
Anyone running a 4.3 ROM and is using WatchIt to get emails via their "stock" Android email client? Any advice or steps I may be missing to get this to see emails? I hate to think I will need to go back to 4.1.2 after all this...

Gosh, this has been a struggle. The Gmail extension does work with my new 4.3 ROM. So here is the work around I came up with. Using Gmail to get the mail from my Comcast account, then it goes to a K9 account on my phone, then to the K9 extension. It appears to catch and display the email on my phone.
Still can't seem to get scores notifications from 365 Sports app.

Anybody know how to fix the text wrap issue or another app that has that issue fixed

Latest update... I seem to have gotten WatchIt to work. I have it delivering Sports 365 notifications to the watch (neat app, btw, as it includes a whistle on the phone notification). And, I am getting email notifications, including the full email but only if it only notifies on a single email. If multiple emails come in... they all get notified at once, and only a list of he emails.
Is there something I can do to force it to notify each email separately?

Are there any good unthreaded/inbox style SMS apps anywhere?

I used EasySMS (previously Pansi SMS) until Kitkat, when MMS didn't work on my S4 Active anymore. Since then I have used Go SMS Pro, which is less easy (takes a few steps to get to the inbox style folder window), but still works. And now, with version 6 those "%¤"!&%!¤&%# morons (read like a very mad Donald Duck!) have messed up that and mate it into an SMS app for idiots who only wants a fancy theme. No folder view anymore. Are there any other apps worth trying? I really, really, really hate "conversation mode", I don't have conversations in SMS! I get an SMS, answer and delete. Showing what I said before (since I have deleted the received ones) is just annoying, and I want all SMS collected in one view. With my mail warnings I get 40-50 SMS every day, so I just need a very neat and clean interface, and the ability to send SMS and MMS. No fancy theme or bull**** like that. Does anybody have a god tip on an app for that?

New messenger from Google is great,better than stock SMS app and hangouts.

Thanks! Is it possible to do that as a pure "received SMS list", old school? And is it possible to use it without any other Google stuff than a Gmail account (which is only used for Android purchases)? I am hysterically unsocial (no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no nothing except for forums and mail), so if it requires Google +, use of Hangouts or any other stuff like that I'm out.

Nah man,you just install it and you're good to go,i think it doesn't even require gmail. I too don't have anything like that,im just browsing g+ and XDA. And i don't understand what you mean by "recieved SMS list" ,but in general,it's the most simple and clear SMS app i have ever tried. Just search google for it.

I may be dense, but I can't find it. I found Hangouts, but that's very far from what I'm looking for. It has one window, and there it shows all conversations, also my sent messages (because the received messages are deleted). What I'm looking for is one that has a traditional folder structure, with an inbox that only shows messages in, and nothing else. And preferably no threaded messages either, when I answer. So when I answer one, I only see the one I'm answering, not the message history of that contact. Do you understand what I mean?

Yes,ill paste the link

Thanks, but I'm afraid that isn't what I'm looking for. It seems like it shows sent messages as well in the main list, and I want something that only shows received messages in a list, nothing else.
