I am new to the TB and driod world. With my Windows phone I had alerts for calendar notifications, email, text messages. I also want to set up an alert for pages from work. Please help.

Hey guys...
I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.
Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?

Try Smart Messenger.
I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.
Looking to send a group text on my Nexus 5.
I created the group in People, it has 7 people, but how do I send to them?
The group doesn't show up in hangouts, any ideas?

I don't think the groups in contacts work for sending messages. You can add multiple people to a text to create a mms or you can send a text to a circle.

I tried using the Google hangouts messenger app that came stock with the Nexus 5 and it has the option for group messaging so I tried that and noticed that I don't get any of the messages that people reply with to that group chat. Is there any way to fix this? Like allow me to group message with iPhone people and stuff?

So I am new to this whole hangouts thing but I am on Nexus 5 so hoping I can get some help here. I am just really used to the AOSP SMS app.
I have been in a group text with 3 friends for about 2 months ago.
Now on Nexus 5 whenever I get a group chat from one of them, it just shows in their individual thread instead of a group thread like it did in the old SMS app.
In Hangouts go into Settings > SMS and make sure "Group Messaging" is checked.
What phones are your friends using?
