May I ask why? Maybe there's an easy and more natural way to reach your actual goal?

Maybe try talking to them to change that policy? Requiring empty SMS is a really stupid idea ...
Did you try the usual alternative SMS apps (Handcent, GO SMS, ...)?

You can't send "empty" messages, on any phone.

Sure you can, if by empty, you mean a visual empty body.
There will always be more information sent through the air than you can see.
OP: Try sending just a full dot or something and see if that works.
If that doesn't work, 'GO SMS Pro' lets you send spaces. It's a free download in the Market.

How do TouchWiz users cope with NO group texting?

One thing that kills me about stock touchwiz is the lack of group texting. I don't want to switch to a 3rd party SMS app, but I am thinking that is what I have to eventually do.

Im sure there is a way to load TW messenger to work on other roms. But how many people actually continue to have group conversations thru text?

Group texting like send one text to multiple people? I do it all the time even with mms's

I wish stock mms had the capability, but it's not a huge deal to me because Verizon messages works very well. You can even disable stock and Verizon messages will still work.

Ya Im confused too, touchwiz mms allows you to send to multiple people. I guess they mean keeping it all grouped cause the touchwiz one replies all come in to seperate threads?
If your rooted you can switch out the stock mms app for a aosp one, i.e. themed and stock

it isnt really "coping" when I have never wanted to group text. facebook tells all my friends what i want them to know about...

It drives me nuts when I get those group texts from iPhone users. I love how android does it, separate threads

Thank you. One iPhone user sends you a group text and then you gotta get bugged by every other iPhone user replying to the original sender. One of the most annoying things in the world. Sad thing is, they think it's cool.

I guess it's handy to the sender. I assume they haven't been on the other end though.
Is it even in option on a "stock" android phone. I've had moto, htc and now Samsung, I don't ever remember it being an option.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I can't stand the stock msg app. GoSMS Pro is so much better imo.
tap'n

It separates the threads to each individual who responds. So if the group is 6 people, I get 6 different texts from 6 different people. HTC never had this problem! Coming from the rezound. Lol

It is standard now on aosp 4.2. I used to think it was annoying, but now after using it with friends, I see why it is useful personally.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

It is honestly driving my crazy! I HATE tw does not support this and it is really annoying. A lot of my friends use group messaging and If i were to reply to the messages being sent I would have to reply to each individual person seeing how group messages appear in separate threads for me.

I dont think those links really help. From my understanding the framework has to be changed and it is only fixed in android 4.2 anyways so im not sure those links are to helpful sadly =(

Use a different messaging app if you don't like the stock.

Ok I have a question. I tried using GOSMS and When I tested out the group messaging feature my friends had told me that they had gotten the message as an individual message towards them and that it did not appear to them as a proper group message. Is there a certain feature inside gosms that you have to have checked in order to get this to work properly?

Have you noticed when in a group message?

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.

Here

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.

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

Direct Dial and Direct Message

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?

Notifications history? Only last message?

Hi, i own also a Gear S and if i swipe right i have old notifications (whatsapp, gmail, etc.) and i can read them again, in Gear S3 when i read it on the phone it disappear from watch and it's impossible to read it again; for me it's a step back....
Another (for me) big issue is this: if a guy send me for example this text on whatsapp:
"Hi andre"
"see you at 7"
"at usual place"
in my watch i can only see "at usual place" but i miss 2 previous messages..... when i can see him?
Ok i must open whatsapp on smartphone but watch loose his utility...
(sorry for my english, i hope u understand what i mean)

I have exactly the same annoying problem. Only the last message is kept in the Gear 3. This is a huge step back. I have browsed the internet but have not yet found a solution. What you want is being able to read back ALL new messages of whatsapp!

I made an app to address this exact issue. The name of the app is Whats History. You can find it in the gear store. There's a demo video on that page as well
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, that is great thank you! But does it still work after the most recent Tizen update on the S3? Please let me know and I will try your app as it seems to be a good solution!

Yeah it's Good but it should be native... DAmmit...

I can view all of my messages on the watch - go to settings -> messages
It shows all of your threads and you can drill down to conversations.
If you reply to a message, from the notification, it drops you into the entire conversation.

But not whatsapp

Not WhatsApp...

Yhank you! I am very much looking forward to that, as history threads tend to get extremely lengthy.
But where are they stored now on the phone/app, because there must be some way to find and then delete them manually? Any timeframe for this addition.
Again, app works like a charm, but this is a bit inconvenient! Thanks a million!

All entries are stored in a database that you cannot access unless you have rooted your phone. Only 50 messages are stored per contact though... I will try to update this feature right after Christmas.

And when I remove the app, will the history (imagine 100 contacts times 50 messages...) be deleted as well or remain on the phone?

I believe WhatsApp on an Android Wear watch also show a short history of the conversation when the notification comes in. You may not be able to view all conversation history offline like my app, but maybe that's enough?
