request message delivery notification

Hi All,
I have 2.1 official ROM with win 6.5 and this is to ask you, why I have to click on "request message delivery notification" every sms i want to write (of course I want to know if recipient got my message). In older ROM I had notifications every sent sms without clicking on each ....
Thanks

Hi there,
i had this same problem but there is a simple way to activate this; its just a bit hidden
Go to Messages - All Messages - Menu - Tools - Options and tap *SMS / MMS
You should have Request delivery notifications
Hope its clear
Cheers
P.S. This is my first post so i hope i'm not doing it wrong or something

Hi,
many thanks for your replay. Now it is marked. I hope notifications will arrive.
Cheers

...and i've noticed something else about the delivery notification:
i dont receive the notification if the SMS is sent from the "activity history tabs". (the place after you open a contact and tap the SMS tab -showing all SMS's with that contact ).
so this might apply to your WM as well.

I had same problem with older ROM.... Then I have never sent sms from this "position"

Group Message as Picture Message

I am running Mango Beta 2 on my HD7 and whenever i use the new contact group message feature some of my friends get a picture message instead of just text. Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix?

Disable "Group text" in the messaging settings panel.
Of course, this also limits the ability for the phone to group these messages together as intended. The only way for the phone to know that these messages are "grouped" is by MMS, because MMS inherently allows additional information to be attached to it (such as header information, kinda like how e-mails can have additional hidden details attached to them). Without this additional information, a text message is pretty much just a line of text with a phone number attached to it.

That makes sense. Thanks for that

[Q] Messenger app with special sorting

Hello.
I'm searching for a little special app for messages (SMS).
I'm receiving from my job many SMS from our tracking system of network. The problem is, that it always came from different number (It's somehow generated) so it always start new conversation.
Is there any app, which can sort these SMS into one conversation by only part of number (the start of number is always the same) or by a beginning of SMS (the text always start with the same words)?
Thank you

Can you please describe, where exactly I should set it?
I downloaded the app but didn't find anything like this in settings...

Any other tips?

I don't know if this works for you, but you could do this:
1 - Use this method to back up your messages to a Gmail label
2 - Create another filter in Gmail to label all messages with that specific content which you said every message starts with
3 - View that newly made label on your Gmail app/widget
I know this is a uselessly long workaround, there must be a better method to sort messages how you want to, but its just a thought...

Look up IFTTT. Install it. Create the following conditions:
If New SMS Contains:
*le filter*
Then Send Me SMS:
O
*original SMS*
Now all the messages will have the same number. But there'll be dupes.

So I will have SMS on gmail. That's not a good solution, because it will spam also my Outlook... (I have around 14 SMS per day...)

Looks interesting, I will test it
Only thing which doesn't look very comfortable is need of internet connection :/
EDIT: IFTTT is not the solution, because I will have the SMS doubled

[Q] Incomplete messages in notification panel

The right pane of the notification area says "Select a notification" but nothing happens when I select any notification. I have few question for which I need answers.
1. When I go to notifications in the desktop software, I dont see the entire message in a notification and when I click on it, nothing appears on the right. How can I see the full message?
2. While using whatsapp, I keep getting lots of messages like "6 messages from 2 conversations." How do see these 6 messages? Nothing happens when I click on it.
3. For example if I get a whatsapp message from my friend Bob with a message "Hey.... how is it going? wanna make some plan for the evening? im free after 5, leave a message when free", the message will pop up with a full message for a glimpse but it will disappear after a while and then it will go to the notification panel like this:
Code:
[B]John[/B]
Hey.... how is it going? wanna make some p..
Now here if john sends another message, the notification panel will say:
Code:
[B]John[/B]
2 new messages
The second following message will not be shown on the notification panel. While in a meeting or at a place away from my phone, I can use my laptop to view notifications but cannot see because the notifications are grouped with messages like "9 messages from 5 conversations.". Is there any solution to this?
4. I was not able to find notifications in the Web interface of android, It has messages, apps, files, photos, muic, ringtones, videos, call logs, contacts, frequent, screenshot, camera, find phone and help but no notification. Is that to be installed somehow?
5. A lot of search on this brought me to this AirDroid topic of xda. So far I got only one place to look for my notifications. Thats in the C:\AirDroid\AirNotify100.db area. I opened that database in SQLite 3, it had all the fields like OWID, ApkID, Title, Content, MsgID, MsgDate, MsgFrom, Ptype, AppInfo, IsRead but the content and other things are in encrypted form. Any idea how to decode that? I added the decoding question in the general discussion too http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/sqlite-3-read-encrypted-messages-t2982672
Thanks

Info about hangout and whatsapp notifications

Hi, I couldn't find anywhere such an info. This could be a potential reason for me not to buy this watch.
Is it possibile to directly start an hangout chat or a whatsapp chat directly from the watch? I mean can I only answer to a recieved hangout or whatsapp message I guess, but can I even send a new message directly from the watch?
I own a Huawei Watch and, at least for Google hangout, I can start a new chat directly from the smartwatch.
Thanks in advance, this is really important for me.

I'm using an app called NOTIFICATION STYLE GEAR for receiving and sending whatsapp messages, it can also send & receive emails, FB, Google Now,Hangout and more.
When you receive a whatsapp message it stores the contact and you can reply at any time.
But there is just one problem with the app, it can only store your messages for as long as the watch is on, if you turn it off, you loose your messages/whatsapp contacts. Then you need wait for the person to send another message again.
It's available on play store, your get 20 free tries, then you need to purchase the app.
It's not perfect, but at the moment this is the only app I have found that you can reply to a contract stored on your watch.
There is also another app called what history. Which let's you store whatsapp messages, the developer said you will be able to reply to messages in the next update.

First of all thank you very much for your answer.
I thought that you could answer any notification without having to use a dedicated app, I mean, I though you could answer a whatsapp or a hangout message on your own on the watch without any app. Isn't it true?
I was asking just whether or not you need a separate app to start a new chat on your own.
Now, from your answer it seems like you need an app to reply to a chat message too. This is scaring. 😱😱😱
I mean, then what kind of notification you can answer on your own on the watch, just sma and email?

You can answer a message: whatsapp , mail or hanghouts. but you cannot start one.
Using the S3 with the Oneplus 3T

Then, the app Iamac was talking about is needed to start a conversation with hangout or WhatsApp directly from the watch?

Hello Aratheba, the app I use works like this.
When you receive a whatsapp message it stores it on the watch. You can delete the message but it will keep the senders name. That way you can reply at any time. I'm not sure if it is the same for hangout messages as I do not use it.
As I said earlier, the downside to this app is when you turn the watch off, as it looses all the contacts and messages. And you have to wait till you receive another message then it stores it again.
This app works well as you get a pop up on the watch with the senders whatsapp profile pic. There are many settings within the app for different vibrate patterns for different message types. For example, you can have 3 vibrates for whatsapp and 5 for hangout. You can also change the font size to make it either easier to read or smaller to fit more of the message on the watch screen.
I hope this helps you.

Thanks. Now it's crystal clear.
It's not perfect but it's a beginning. It would be interesting to know whether it really works for hangout too.
Thanks anyway

What do you use hangouts for? I just tried it.
With the app I use, it isn't very good. I don't see any emails. If I use sms I can receive but no option to reply.
You are meant to receive hangout messages with the watch's own app, when I tried it, I got no notifications. There is a list of app notification to choose from and hangouts was selected.
For emails I use a android phone app called MY MAIL it merges all my email accounts into one app and I can use this with notification wear app I have for the watch.

I use hangout way more than whatsapp. There are several reasons for.me to prefer hangout over whatsapp, but it would be ot here.

I also use Hangouts more than Whatsapp, as it is used as my company's chat app. Have been using Wear for the last 2 years, and have never found a reason to start a message on the watch. Trying to find the contact you need would take forever. Replying to a message i done a few times, probably now a bit more as the S3 has a " keyboard".

It's easier than you think: you just don't have to archive chat and you can easily add a new message to an already existing thread. No need to search for contacts.
Moreover I found that voice dictation on wear it's almost perfect.
And, if you try last preview for wear 2.0 you even have keyboard and hand writing. ?
