For some reason GoSMS isn't updating my contact's pictures (from Facebook) on each thread. Is there anyway to get it to update to the pictures the Contact app is using?
Does it have spell check?
Thanks
Go SMS does not have spell check for it is not needed. It is your phone's keyboard that has spell check. Go to Go SMS' application settings to display Facebook profile photos.

Hey guy,
I was just wondering if there was any way for SMS Popup to show the facebook contact pictures that are synced from the stock facebook app in the popup just like it does for the contacts with pictures from your gmail.
Thanks
That would be awesome if it could do this! I love SMS Popup because I don't need a full SMS replacement like Handcent (I think that's what it's called?). I just need a popup like SMS Popup provides but it doesn't show contact pictures that sync from Facebook which is a lot of my contact.
In the SenseUI Roms it does do this, as it links their contact profiles with their facebook.. however I don't know of a way in a stock rom to do this.

Handcent is REALLY good tho. I've used it for quite some time and not to long ago switched back to stock messaging app + sms popup and only lasted about 2 or 3 weeks tops before breaking down and installing handcent again. It's just leagues ahead of stock app and sms popup combined.
Handcent does use these pictures, fwiw.

It's not as nice, but SynxMyPix on the market will actually add Facebook pictures to your contacts, instead of linking them, so they will show up for this.
1st and foremost. I love this phone (GPS issues aside) it's perfect and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me which is sad.
A few Android questions (I'm running Cog 2.2 B6 with Launcher Pro):
Is there a way to organize your favorites or am I relegated to alphabetized favorites list?
Is there a way I can go directly to dial my favorites?
I am coming from an iPhone and I can't figure out how to select text that is off of the screen. Example: This is a textbox with a senten (how do I get to where the "ce" in sentence would be?)
Can I get Facebook push notifications?
Sometimes the facebook app goes into normal webpage view mode when I'm looking at my notifications, is that a bug?
For the call log is there a way where I can only see phone transactions and not text. It looks like I can view by missed, dialed OR received calls but not all 3. Otherwise I have to view all my texts as well.
Thanks,

First keep in mind that the current Froyo is a leaked pre-release so there are some small bugs, such as the email app issue with exchange.Alright abou the selecting text that is off the screen, I am not sure what you mean by this as normally text is wrapped? what application are you having this issue in? I.E, the browser. as far as customizing your favorites layout, I do not believe there is an option for that, only to switch to grid view. What I do since I can have up to 7 home screens (I only use 4) I use one home screen as a favorite contacts list (not sure if you can do this on launcher pro but I would guess yes) hold click home screen and select add shortcut> select either a contact that will bring up the call/email/sms/mms/navigate (if there is an address for contact) or instead of selecting a normal contact you can select "Direct Dial" it will allow you to select a contact as before but when you hit this contact on the home screen, instead of getting the normal options it will directly dial that contact. it's actually a pretty nice way to manage your favorite contacts.
Hope this helps a little! also before I forget you know when looking at a contact (including in the favorites list) you can swipe to the right on the contact to call or to the left to sms. a couple other things, you can pinch inward on the home screen in Touchwiz to zoom out to tiles of your home screens and the same is true in the TW app list, zooms out too see all app pages. the swipe to call/sms works regardless of you using launcher pro though, good luck!
Good idea about the homepage dedicated for contacts. I set that up.
It seems my sim and my google contacts have duplicated many entries. Is it possible to combine the two, so I don't have a SIM entry and a Google entry?
Also, how do I associate a picture with a contact?
Thanks,
JOe K.
To join contacts go into the contact itself, hit the menu button and then join contact.
After you join the contacts you may want you can go into the contacts app, hit menu, more, then display settings. You can tell the phone what type of contacts you want displayed. The only downside is all contacts are displayed when spelling out a name using the dialer.

Perhaps I'll delete the entries out of my SIM card and then I'll be able to easily modify my G-Mail contacts list.
Do you know of anyway how to delete all the entries for a SIM card?
Also, I still don't know how to associate pictures?
The easiest way that I know the delete all of the contacts on the sim is to display only the sim contacts and hit the menu button then delete. Then click all of the contacts one at a time. Once you are done then go back and display the contacts you want active.
To add a picture go into the contact, edit, then click on the stock picture, should have a little plus in it, and this will let you either take a picture our use one from your library.

Also if you hve FaceBook and you sync it (the widget or what ever) when you set it up deselect add all conteacts and select the ones who are also in your phone contacts list. Then when you join the two contacts (your phone/google copy) with you Facebook contact of the same person it use the FB profile picture in your contacts list and will change as that person changes there FB profile picture, it will also show there current FB status. also if you go to the activities tab in contacts after syncing FB it will show all the recent wall posts ect.
Is there a messaging app that is much like the default one?
By which i mean that when i am txted the app recognizes them as someone from my contact list because of syncing with facebook, without actually adding them as a contact.
Is there such an app?
Can u explain what u want to do, write an example? As i understand your question u need kind of magician app which can connect unknown numbers with fb contacts?? -if you already have your fb friends in contact list and they have their numbers written in fb then those numbers are already in your contact list right?

Okay, so. Lets say i get a sms from someone, and they are on my contact list because of syncing it with facebook. But i didnt add their number in the phonebook, i have their number because of facebook.
The stock messaging app recognizes the number as a contact even though i didnt add it manually. Is there another messaging app that does this aswell?
Go sms does. So does handcent. Chomp sometimes does
Sent from my etch a sketch
I remember there was a quick fix for this issue, does anyone remember it? My contact pictures show in third party SMS apps like handcent or go sms pro, but in the stock messaging app, it just is blank. I don't use facebook syncing, it all pulls from my google contacts. help?
When I use Google assistant to send a message it randomly doesn't record the message in the text app. The recipient receives it ok but it doesn't show up.
I've tried about 10 other SMS apps they're the same.
Is there a problem with Huaweis app that Google assistant can't access? Any help please?

Not sure.. but with all Google apps I give them full control/permission and allow secondary launch etc.
Give that a try

Permissions are all granted. What do you mean secondary launch? You mean try a different launcher?
Hello
do you mean that during recording the text doesn't show up , but once you leave the record button it goes to the recipient instantly without the ability to check it or what ? a pic might help as i didn't understand much

Ah ok no it's simpler than that. Speech to text etc works fine.
The outgoing message does not appear in the messages or text app. For some reason Google assistant understands the speech and sends the text, but doesn't communicate with the SMS app to say "this is what I just sent so stick it in the convo list". Seems to bypass the SMS app and I've tried about10 of them now. Same problem each time.
I think it's confirmijg what I always thought i.e. android is a perpetually buggy unfinished system!
Hello again
-not sure - maybe these command may work
“Show me my messages”
also why not trying to check the messages with Hangouts that may help
Appreciate you trying to help.
The issue is that the outgoing messages don't show up at all when done from GA. In any app. Show me my messages whilst it might work is not an adequate solution as I shouldn't have to speak that into GA to see my full convos. That's what the apps are for.
BUT your suggestion was brilliant because I tried that and it shows received messages only (which isn't the issue).
So then I tried to say "show me my SENT messages" and surprisingly it did manage to show just the messages I'd sent BUT BIZARRELY IT MISSES OUT ANY MESSAGES SENT BY G.A.. !!????
So in summary it looks as though it sends messages fine but doesn't record it anywhere. When asked to tell me what it has sent it then seems to search the stock apps (that it doesn't communicate TO) and gives me that info only. So even GA doesn't know what it's sent ! Wtf??
(Hangouts doesn't seem to do SMS)
"The Assistant only uses Messenger as the outgoing source for SMS when Hangouts is the default. If you look in messenger you will see the text that you sent through the assistant. It is a bit defeatest from the standpoint of the Fi Hangouts integration and the team is aware."
this is from google forums and yes Hangouts show outgoing msgs
By messenger they mean what? Many apps seem to think they're called messenger.
As for hangouts it does nothing. Showing up only 4 convos and none of them are SMS convos. I've looked and looked and there is no option to integrate SMS into hangouts. I've given it all permissions too.
Are we on the same version of Mate 9 ? Am I missing something?
Open the Hangouts app .
At the top, tap Menu Menu.
Tap Settings and thenSMS and then SMS enabled.
Select the text messaging app you want as the default.
try this
I suspect we have different versions of hangouts. No such options in mine anywhere
``Show me my hangouts sms messages`` may help out a bit
i think also facebook messenger can help as it can read sms check it

nope my hangouts does nothing. doesnt support sms at all
fb messenger is evil, doesn't it drain masses of battery?
please change the message app to what you want to use and try again steps:
in your settings search for Default app settings then, change sms app, i think the default would be hangouts.

Thanks but despite having hangouts installed the only messaging app that comes up as an option is the stock Huawei message app. Hangouts isn't listed. There is also no setting anywhere within hangouts to use SMS. Our versions must be different. I have the latest version.
My bad, hangouts lost the integration long time ago :/
However did you but I want your to check the fb it it can detect the assistant out going messages, or else, if you didn't try Android Messages app please check it might help.

I thought the android messenger ap which is the one they want us to use now might work, but it sadly doesn't.
I'll trial it with facebook and let you know soon,
Thanks again for your efforts trying to help me out :good:
I'll try my best
Nope FB messenger doesn't record the outgoing text either. Huge flaw in Google assistant!!
I think they fixed it in latest update
