Group Texting

I want to be able to send a text to a group of 7 or 8 people. Can I set something up on Windows Mobile 6 so I don't have to keep adding these people separately?

Hopefully one of these suggested so far will be just what you were looking for.....failing that, there's always Google
HTH,
Mark.

Has anyone used them? Can anyone recommend one of the others?

Dude, start typing names into the "to" field with the keyboard. Auto-complete pops up the names of your contacts so all you have to do is select them.
People make too big of a deal about this issue, IMO...

But if it's 20 or 30 people and your have to start typing them each time, that's still maybe 3 or 4 minute job. Also, you have to fish out your list each time to check who needs them.
Compared to being able to type 'Football' or something instead. Myself, I would say it's quite a decent time/hassle saver...

The first link I posted above should work well for you; it's "category-centric", so if you create a "Football" contact category you can assign the required contacts to that category. When using the GroupSMS program, it will list the categories you have defined and you can then pick one (or more); then you just enter the message you want to send....job done!
Read the threads, try 'em out.....

Possible "issue" in XDA Android app?

Is anyone able to reproduce the following issue...???
In the XDA Android app, if I search for a string that contains a period - e.g. android 2.2.1 - I get no results (white screen, text at the top, left).
Obviously, there are posts that contain 2.2.1.
[[[Sent from MY myTouch 4g]]]

It's not just the XDA App bro, it's VB that causes the "issue". For security purposes....actually I'm not going to get into all of that.
Simple answer:
You can't really search for "." because VB will not allow it. It will only allow for alpha numeric searches (no special characters). This is because of the forum software, not the XDA APP.
I hope this explains it for you. I'm not sure how things have changed over the past few years with VB but back in the day there were exploits with allowing special character searches and searches containing less than three characters. It's just a security 'thing' and is very common on most boards.
Just in case you doubt that I'm wrong and it IS in fact the XDA app. Get on THIS THREAD with your PC or MAC and use the "search this thread" feature at the top right of the first post. Search your own thread here for "android 2.2.1" and you will not get any results because the "2.2.1" is not a valid search string.

Absolutely makes sense. I guess I should've verified in a browser first.
Thanks!

You're not the first man. It's been a problem with forums searches for years though. I think everyone has run into this problem at least once..lol

[Q] facebook with Opera mobile browser

Anybody else having problems with replying to posts on the 'full' facebook website ?...
When trying to reply to a post, the enter key doesn't submit the text, but goes to the next line in the form-field. I only seem to be able to post a reply by touching the screen outside of this form-field after typing some text.
At first it seems like the reply is accepted and is listed as a reply to the post, but when i refresh the page, or come back to the page later on, my reply doesn't seem to have passed.
strange behavour...
Sorry for my english, i'm belgian (and typing on a laggy keyboard ;-) )

No problems at all here. I'm on a custom rom however.

[Completed] Can aspx-based sites function properly on smartphones?

I ask this because the site I have to be able to visit and function 24/7 is aspx-based. Here is some details to understand my issue.
The site is an affiliate-type one and I transfer money from once bank account to users, and I have to do it, when they ask it.
So, it's not a big deal for me to do that, when I'm at my workplace or my home, but I have life and I cannot be 16 hours a day at home. When I tried to access the website from my smartphone (TCL 5042D) using Chrome and Firefox and Browser (phone's own browser)(I encountered the same problem at the same spot from all 3 of them-I'll explain the problem right now), I logged in just fine. The customer's accounts are in one page and from there simply press the + or - buttons (depends on what the customer wants) and then a popup will appear, having a 2 boxes that I have to write the amount of money and a description for the transaction. As soon as I press to the boxes, the smartphone zooms as it supposed to be (in order to see what you're typing) and the popup dissapears from the screen disabling me to press the ok and to put description.
What, do you believe? Could it be a bad-written aspx site, or is it natural to react that way? And what do you suggest?

[SOLVED. kind of] The forum's "Search this thread" function does not seem to work as intended.

Hi all,
I am facing the following phenomenon: I'm looking at some forum thread, say with 50 pages or so. At the top right I see a button labeled "Search this thread". Sounds like a useful tool to quickly search that thread for a certain term. I click that button, type in my search term(s) and underneath a drop down box with OTHER threads, which I do not want to search appears. Often times the thread I'm currently looking at doesn't even show up in that list underneath the search box.
So, what am I doing wrong? With the search feature as it is, I truly have a hard time finding things.
Thank you very much in advance. Driving me nuts.

@rogerwilco75 A similar question has been raised here. Maybe the replies there answer also your question?

@Oswald Boelcke Thank you for the link.
I was using a Chromium-based desktop browser and observed this somewhat inconsistent behavior on both Linux and Windows.
I will make a comparison using FF, and then both browsers with their extensions/addons enabled (most likely uMatrix and/or uBlock Origin to "interfere". DecentralEyes or HTTPSEverywhere not so much I guess), in a private window/tab and with more lowered "shields" settings in the respective browsers (cookies, trackers, DNT ...).
Back to the original question: once or twice clicking the "Search this thread" led to exactly that, then on some other occasions it didn't. I'll have to figure out that pattern.
Anyway, thanks once again for the link, since it let me get around using the ...drum roll... search function.
I guess this can be marked as "SOLVED... kind of", since I'll need to look into it deeper and get more data points/a clearer view.
