any easy way to text all my contacts at the same time? (trying to notify them of a cell number change).
thanks
btw, i have around 50-60 contacts
I've tried that before using many tricks or tools, but it always ended with some of the messages not delivered, kindda out of memory error or something like that. my advice is, split it up, says that you want to send to 100 contacts, send it to 20 first, so you have to do it 5 times
How about just tapping menu, compose, then on the recipient field type a comma after every contact and insert another contact...? Somewhat tedious but its just like an email. There is auto complete when typing in part of someones name

Love the new phone so far with one minor problem. Is there an easier way to delete text messages from the device? As it is now I have to press and hold on each message, then click on delete from the menu that pops up.
Not normally a big deal but if you get alot of sms notifications from various message boards/ texts / etc... its a royal pain to have to manually delete 20-30 messages one at a time like that.
if you go back one screen to the list of contacts instead of the list of individual messages, you can delete all messages from a single contact by long pressing.

Thats the screen I was referring to. My problem is that all of the forum notifications that I get come from a different "number" for each message/thread so they dont get threaded together. When I had my iphone 2G there was a delete all ap that cleared all of the messages at once. I loved that ap and was hoping for something similar, or another way to selected multiple messages at once (with checkboxes) then delete them as a group.
SMS backup and restore in the market for free has a delete all. Also lets you back all up to an XML file and restore, no root needed.

i would suggest using a different mms client. i prefer handcent.
This should be in developers but it won't let me post there.
Just tried to send a text with my new ROM and was horrified that there's no enter key.
It's also not letting me see any contacts, when I 'create new message' and select the 'to' box I am given no options, but my SIM card is definitely there, being read, and full of phone numbers.

There is no enter key on the swype version on serendipity. And for your contacts on the aosp mms app you have to type in the name our number in the very top box.

trying to switch back to samsung keypad, but neither it nor the gingerbread has an enter :/
is there one that does?
also that's terribly lame about the contacts, is there no way to go back to the rolodex system

You'd have to swap out the aosp contacts app for the samsung contacts app.

Why do you need a enter key? Can't you just use the "Send" button?
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of trying to figure out why when I receive an SMS the Productivity Lock screen only displays the numbers, and not the name. I dont have multiple contacts, and all of the contacts were ported in via my google account.
I've tested out a few situations where I go into the contact and edit the number from the 1 (###) ###-#### to just ######### and it seems to be successful, but considering the amount of contacts I have to edit, this does not seem like something I want to be doing for the next 3 hours.
Does anyone have an easier trick for me on this one?
Thanks a ton!
What you have done seems to be the only thing that works. I can't find any other way. It sucks! Lol.

I have an issue in GoSMS where, whenever I send a message in a group chat, it ends up showing up twice. The first time the message appears and then a few seconds later I "receive" a message from myself (as if I was another user in the group chat) and the message pops up again, this time prefaced with my name and a ":" - e.g. My Name: The weather sure is nice
Anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks.
Yes i experience that. Ive tried many different roms but still have the same result. Kinda really sucks but i guess the skyrocket handles text messages differently?

how do you send normal sms on google nexus 5. only have hangouts and it "invites"
when i select a contact it does an "Invite" request. what happemend to the normnal sms system?
please advise
first time user of nexus series
you need to search the contacts with the number phone , not the hangout
Yeah the normal phone numbers appear to be under your circle friends from g+.
I think the new messaging is pretty sweet and looks a lot better than the old stock format just take a little to get used to.

If you want the 'normal' sms function then you will need to get a third party sms client (I'm using Handcent without any problem). Once you download, it is simply a case of selecting which service you want to use as your default.
It gives you the option if you want to send it through hangouts or SMS (for each individual contact)

You all are making this WAY too complicated.
In Hangouts, press the + button. Search for the contact that you want to send an SMS message to (note, they must be in your People app for this to work). Simply look for the little bubble that says SMS next to the proper contact, click that, and voila.
Variantly, you can go to the People app, click the person you want to text, and then click on the little message symbol and it will pop you into a new message thread for that person.
I really don't like the G+ integration in Hangouts, as I don't use G+ at all. But I'll live with it.
