The Direct Dial and Direct Message used to allow you to put a shortcut on the home screen to dial or text someone, and it set the picture for the icon as the contact picture, with one word in the bottom of the picture representing which phone (Home, Mobile, etc.)
Now it appears that functionality is gone... Is it?

Calling is still there, just not SMS. I've been using that app for a few weeks and it works perfect. Seriously there is no way to know it's not the stock.

Yes I am actually using it now... What about sending texts now?
What about sending texts? Nobody has a decent direct message link creation app?

Textplus assigns you your own number so you can text others.

Oh I'm sorry, I just assumed the OP lived in either one of those countries.
Then I don't have anything else. Most that I know of only work in the US.

Do you also have an Android phone that you text from? If so, you can use MightyText and you can send texts from any computer or Android device, and it syncs to all of them. Love it.
Text plus is great

This. Although I dont know if it works in other countries. I dont know why it wouldnt. Try either Mighty Text or DeskSMS. Both have Chrome Extensions to text from your browser and apps to text from your tablet. I prefer Mighty Text though
I just noticed when I was in a group message I could see when the others were typing and when they read my message? Does this only work when messaging others who have the note 5? That was the case but I can't find any options for this
I should mention that I did find settings for "chat" that would allow me to see the others typing and when they have read my message...but I had turned those off before noticing the typing message and had confirmed they were off after noticing.

It's a new implementation baked into Android devices on T-Mobile. The Note 5 and Edge Plus are 3rd and 4th ever to get it, I believe.
Edit: Here you go.

I haven't noticed it texting anyone else so I couldn't tell you. It's funny though, in the group text I was in...two others were in it....both T-Mobile users and both note 5 users...only one person had the "typing" showing when texting

Basically, it's like iMessage for Android. If both phone users have the Advanced Messaging installed on their phones, they will be able to see when the other has read a text or is typing. It's going to be great to see when it is implemented on more devices.

To see the "is typing" while texting go to messages, more, settings, chat settings, turn on share typing indications also if you turn off read receipts than the other person won't see if you've read his messages or not but you can still see theirs if their settings are switched to on
You don't need to be in group text for this to work it seems to only be working with the newer phones, I just upgraded 3 phones 1 note and 2 edge plus' and we tested it out

Yes you will see when someone has read yours or if it's been delivered because they have their settings on, but they will not be able to see it on their end since your settings are checked to off

I actually switched to Google messenger. I'm assuming it won't work unless you're on the stock message app

Man this makes me sad I wish it was on hangouts
Title says it all. I have tried to use it with my brothers note 5 but it doesn't seem to work. WiFi calling and voLTE enabled on both phones.
Both phones have to have advanced messaging. It works between my and my wife with our note 5's
anyone else been trying to see if this works or not...
Lol still doesn't work between my brother and i. Both with note 5s. May be it's still "rolling" out to places, ie towers not updated yet
You have to go into contacts and open each contact that has the capability and the video calling and advanced messaging will flip to green. At least that has been my experience to get it to work for my contacts that have the option.

I tried that approach with my note 5, my wife has a galaxy s6. Advanced messaging was working for a bit, but then it stopped.

I thought it was weird that I could see my wife typing a message on my phone and it only worked for her.
Nice to see the Gear S2 gives the ability to at least reply to messages with the dismal s voice, pre defined or keyboard ?
But you cannot create a new message only reply to an existing received message on your watch.
A Big plus for me
Something happened
Mine started off being able to reply but now the options available to choose is show on phone, Block and clear..
Odd still works fine for me

I think it's dependent on file type, resolution and size, but haven't managed to prove this yet.

Noticed that pictures will only show when there is only one message in that particular whatsapp thread. Once there is more than one message, images stop appearing on the Gear S2.

Stock sms is awful.
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
Hate this problem....
Have been grappling with this problem... In the end I gave up and started using Textra - this created 2 new annoyances:
1 - It doesn't appear on the always on display as a little envelope icon/badge notification when you have texts waiting
2 - You can't quickly get to a contact within the App and use the direct dial feature by lifting the phone to your head.
However Textra is amazing and it's other features have kept it as my default choice for now.

Use Renovate rom. @mwilky took the time to figure it out and it works sweet. Only one who has. And it's a great rom

I was hoping not to change ROMS. Is there a way to edit the one I'm already on?

If you use lightflow for LED control, the screen will still come on even with texta. Or any third party sms app for that matter.
