[Q] whatsapp as default action - General Questions and Answers

hi all
on ICS contacts (or any other for that matter) then i press on a contact and then send text, a "complete action using:" window appears with 2 options.
1. messaging
2. whatsappp
if i hit "Whatsapp" it will open the contact with messaging with a pre typed message: "check out whatsapp for android..." and not open the contact in whats app.
iv'e been trying to find a solution for this and failed.

Hey EYadmo,

please open whatsapp and look if you can find your contacts there.
Maybe they dont use whatsapp yet.

Wm6.1 Sms Inbox Question?

in wm6 when i went into messages/sms/inbox there would be a complete list of messages sent to me and they would be individual irrespective of where they came from.
now in wm6.1 there is a list of received messages but if i get another message from the same number it puts it inside itself and calls itself
"conversation with" so if you click on a message from 12345 it opens up loads of other messages from 12345.
when inside you can't delete individual messages but you can delete the first message in the inbox but then that deletes all messages in its sub folder.
my question is simple...can anyone advise how i can go back to using the wm6 version of messages/inbox?????
i know theres a boffin out there with the answer
Yep - take a look here and install the "Disable SMS threading" cab file
Hope this helps

Or, you could get off your high horse and help the poor geezer.
thanx dontpanic you are elevated to a god like status in my eyes.....
only upgraded the rom 4 days ago and didn't know this particular thing was called "sms threading" (thats why i couldn't do a search orb3000) i just knew it was bloody irritating..found the cab as you helpfully advised and it works tip top so i'm a happy bunny again.....(amazing how the little things bug us)
Hehe! Its the first CAB I install on a new 6.1 ROM
Simple switch ...
This is how I did it:
Goto --> start-settings
Then click on the "system" tab at bottom
Look for "Text Messaging" and select
Here you can change from "Threaded" to "Classic"
Hope this helps .

In the contact list, tap and hold to get up the menu. Select 'Send Contact >' and choose your option from there.

[Q] SMS nofication Problem.

Hello everybody, this is my firs post. I am an happy z3 owner coming from iphone.
I have a question regarding the managing of the SMS notification on the pull down bar (where you have all the notifications).
While for the emails I can open the line with the number of new message I have, on the sms notification I just have "new messages: 2" but i cannot find any way to see who is sending me the message or I cannot see any preview of the message.
The only thing I can do is switch to the sms application in order to see the preview and the sender name.
Am I doing something wrong? can you guys help me?
Ciao

Normally you just click on the "new messages: 2" line and it should take you to whichever app you use for that type of message (Hangouts, or whatever the stock one is called).
Thanx for the answer. The probkem is that i would like to see who is sending me the sms without opening the default application. This is more bad when i sm using acdisplay for the lock screen, because i have to unlock phone to see the sender.
I just switch to hangouts as a default sms client and the thing are better niw because i can see the sender name and a partial preview of the sms!

You could try Dashclock (free app, open source in fact), which supports a lot of plugins - there's a Hangouts extension there, and probably others which may show you more info, even from the lock screen.

No option to answer WhatsApp message

When I receive a WhatsApp message, I can see the message and read it,
but I cant reply to it vwith the Gear S2, it only shows me the option "open on phone"
Does any one know if this is a bug or is it because I dont have a Samsung phone?
It is not a bug. Even witch Samsung phone it is not straightforward.
Look at the app Chat Hub, it does allow you to answer WhatsApp and other social services. It is not free though...

So the only way to get it work without a Samsung Smartphone is to download that App?
The most recent Whatsapp update did something to gear s2. Now I don't see the "read more" icon. Sigh..
That's more than Handcent will do. If I get a message in handcent, the watch just displays a message to check phone. Doesn't show the message, or who its from or give us a way to reply to it. I've written to handcent and they have completely ignored me. I have since quit using handcent and went back to the stock messaging app.

I have the same problem, help please.

Going insane. Please help Google assistant and SMS!

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
