[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

I've been having issues with missing contacts since getting the hox. I'm familiar with the way contacts and android and gmail work, i've had an android phone since Nexus One era.
Anyway my problem is missing contacts. I added a contact yesterday, saved it. Used it this morning, this afternoon it was gone. Today i added a phone number and pic to a contact i've had over a year and now the contact is missing from my contact list. his name and pic is on my call log, i can access the contact from there, and edit it, but its nowhere to be found under the regular contact list. if needed to cal him after he was wiped from my call log i wouldn't be able to find him.
Any ideas? TIA

I have had this problem as well, it's annoying as ****... Also, one time I sent a msg to "bob" then it said I sent it to "dan" then "dan" replied. Then I tried again sending to "bob" and It said I sent it to "dan" but the first msgs weren't there. Then "dan" replied... But it was actually bob this time. Then I force closed the SMS app. Then went back and it showed my 2nd attempt with "bob"s reply. But the first attempt was sent to the wrong person....
Those are two of my only 3 complaints about the phone. The third is that the stock messaging app, the mms size limit is 600k
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love it to death

I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! with this fast ass muthaducka. What more do you need? Devs just started doing it like this... Just gonna get better everyday!

Is there a way to do this?

I was using BlackBerry 10.2 the other day and noticed a few things I liked and was wondering if there's a way to get them on the Nexus 5:
1. Ability to click on toast notifications (say of a text message) and respond on the spot without leaving the app you're in.. is it possible to do this on the Nexus 5 anyway?
2. Text message previews/calendar events on the lockscreen.. is it possible?
3. Split calendar to show calendar on top, schedule on the bottom (see pic below) - Any app that replicates this or option in Google Calendar?

Thanks.

1. The SMS app Textra let's you reply from anywhere without exiting the app you're in. I'm sure there are plenty of others that do as well, but Textra is what I'm using.
2. Yes. If you drag the lock screen left you'll move to another screen with a '+' sign on it. You can then add widgets there.
3. There's likely a ton of calendar apps for this but Jorte comes to mind as one that has a split view like that.

Thanks! How would you rate Tetra in terms of fluidity and responsiveness? Also, when a message pops up, is there a slight 2 second delay when loading the pop up after the message is received? I tried a similar app in the past and it bugged me that there was a delay when I saw the notification in the notification tray.

Textra has been pretty good so far through a week of use. No major lags, stutters or anything like that. SMS and MMS work fine. I'd say its as good as or better than the old stock messages app.

Question regarding Samsung Galaxy S6 stock messages ( SMS )

At my Galaxy S6 the stock messages place my messages, the ones that I write, at the bottom of a particular conversation and the messages of the person in that conversation at the top ( Check out the screenshot ). It this normal with the Samsung stock messages ?

It sorts sms by time. So one of you has got his time or date wrong and by your screenshot, it's how sms are arranged, that is, in descending order of time sent!

Good afternoon and thanks for your attention and help. The last three days I learned the correct way SMS works. Shame on me cause I'm not new at the Android platform, seven years, six flagships phones and a Google Nexus 5. Bought my Galaxy S6 on May 2015 and always use the paid premium versions of third party SMS apps like Evolve, Textra, etc. This is the first time I use Samsung stock SMS message. I'm under the impression that it is faster than the the others I bought. So thank you again.

Not just call screening. Dialer on my 3 XL also auto-fills conference ID's!

The Pixel 3 has a lot of great new features. I think we can all agree that one of the most fulfilling ones is call screening, which I've now used on quite a few "Spam Likely" and local election calls. I enjoy using it every single time.
With that said, I spend a lot of time on conference calls with my clients and since I switched from my OnePlus 6 to the 3 XL this week, I've found a fantastic little feature in the stock Google Dialer on my 3 XL that doesn't get enough attention. In fact, I haven't seen anyone discuss this at all.
The feature auto-fills conference ID codes and even populates the final "#" symbol at the end, when necessary. This was not a feature I had on my OnePlus 6, my 2 XL or any other phone before and it is simply amazing. It saves me a ton of time trying to remember (and always forgetting) the conference code while dialing, or resorting to writing it down. I suspect this is just a new feature in the Google Dialer that is also available on other phones. But like I said, it was never one my 2 XL, so I have no prior experience with it.
Admittedly, the feature is small and many won't even know about it, but this is a serious new "must have" for me, which I've already used 9 times since Monday. Love it!

This is a feature of Google Calendar. It's been around for quite some time.
That said, its a huge quality of life thing for those of us who spend a lot of time on conference calls.

i definitely need this... how do i set this up?

According to w0rdie, it's actually a feature of Google Calendar. I'm assuming as long as you use that as your default calendar it should be setup automatically for you. I didn't need to set anything up. It just worked on my phone right out of the box.

Just couldn't ignore you... But, thank w0rdie for correcting you before you further elaborated on this FUD, lol.

Question iPhone users not receiving my Google messages text

I've had this issue where iPhone users are not receiving my text messages. More specifically, they are not receiving sms that i sent through my Google messages. If i send an MMS message ( either with a picture or by adding a subject line) then they will receive it. I can receive and view their messages but they can't see my sms messages.
I have the unlocked variant of the s22 Ultra with a T-Mobile US sim card. I feel like I'm the only one with this issue.
Things i have tried:
-Reset all network settings
-changing "Access Point Name" settings
-Turned off Google messages chat feature
+Worked with an iPhone user to to change
their settings for my phone settings.

I really don't know what else to do. Is there a way where it can automatically only send text as MMS? Any other fix?

Do you have chat features enabled? If so it's it green text that says connected?

I originally had the chat feature on (because i thought this was the problem) but since trying to troubleshoot, I've turned it off.

Have you tried the Samsung Messages app?

I just tried it right now and it's not working either. Exact same issue.

What phone did you come from?

skylinegtr116 said:
I did this, I deactived my number from imessages . Since I transferred everything over I deleted all the conversations I previously had on my s22. That seems to do the trick for me now I don't have issues with iPhone users.

Problem seemed to start on my s21 ultra ( that i noticed) then jumped into the pixel 6 pro, it still happened there. Now i have the s22 Ultra.

I never had an iPhone to be able to delete anything from imessage. So that's kind of odd for me.

Was on chat for 2 hours with my carrier (T-Mobile) and they said it was an iPhone issue. That the fix would need to be on all of the individual iPhones that I'm having issues with. I guess i won't be contacting those people anymore.
