Cant send SMS to one contact in hangouts - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searched but cannot find the answer. I have one friend who uses hangouts like me and i can usually drop the box down on my Nexus 5 to the left of the message while in hangouts and choose "SMS" yet for this one contact I no longer can. Anyone have any idea? I have to send a separate sms message to him and its kind of annoying.
Thanks.

With a friends help i see you have to long press on a conversation so its selected and choose the other conversation then up top choose merge. Simple enough.

Text Messages / Clock issue

Having a slight problem here with my new captivate (came from an iPhone 4 and happy btw )
When someone sends me a text, and I reply... sometimes my 'bubble' will go above theirs and during a fast texting conversation I can send many texts that will go above all of my friends, causing it to be very hard to read. This happens with a bunch of people that text me. All people involved are on AT&T network, all getting automatic time from smartphones.
Any way to force texts to go in the order your device receives/sends them rather than by a time stamp?
Thanks folks

Disable notifications in the settings for the Messaging app that came with the phone.

Go to new sms messages

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way that when you open the messages app it goes to the new messages rather than your last screen? It seems silly that the phone knows I have new messages to view, but instead takes me to the last message I was in.
You can try using alternative SMS apps and see if they have a feature like that.
I know GO SMS (and handcent and others) have a notification pop up when someone texts you. Pressing on that pop up would bring you to that particular SMS thread.

[Q] Sending specific calls directly to voicemail?

Hello. I just received my Galaxy S 4G today and I was wondering if there is some way for me to send certain contacts directly to voicemail like I could on my previous phones? I've looked all around and couldn't find it.
Possibly a great app if it's not available?
Thanks for the help everyone.
_edit_ for the record I tried this:
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap Call settings.
Tap All calls.
Tap Auto reject.
Tap Auto reject list.
Tap Add number.
Enter desired number.
Tap Save.
but that doesn't send the calls to voicemail, and then it shows that I missed 12 calls from that specific number at one time. It's crazy. I need it to go to voicemail specifically. Thanks.
On any given contact if you bring up the menu, you'll see the option to add to ignore list. However, I have other issues. I have 5 contacts called Spam, and between them there are more than 100 numbers. After adding the third contact to the ignore list, I got a message saying that I had crossed 100 limit and that I must delete some entries to make space. This is annoying. I wish someone figures a way to send a contact straight to voicemail.
Ah miui allows u to black.list calls n send them to. Voicemail

EDIT: "maybe some of them can kick directly to vm" is what I left out.

[Q] Text template problem

I just noticed that when I respond to text messages via Gear's text templates, my response doesn't show up on the stock Messaging app on the phone. However, the recipient does indeed receive my template response. Is anyone else having this problem?

A quick "yes" or "no" would help me understand if I need to dive into my Note 3 setup or just accept it for what it is.

Gear S2 and Google Hangouts notification history

Ok so I just noticed something I would like if anyone could chime in on. When I receive a hangout notification on the watch, at the bottom of the message there is a "READ MORE>" button. Tapping this lets me read the hangout thread going much farther back than just the current message in the notification.
However, once you clear the Hangout notification, you cannot view it anymore which means you can't type into Hangouts until you get another message/notification.
My question is this, is it possible to re-open notifications after you clear them? That would be nice... then I could, in essence, initiate a Hangouts message to someone I already had a message history with, i.e. all my contacts!
No, once you clear them they are gone. Instead of clearing them, back out with the button and return to your watch face, then they will stack and still be able to be replied to.
Interesting same issue with WhatsApp but only when you get 2 or more messages from the same contact, if you click read more hoping to see the others unread messages watch goes bonkers back way beyond
