Hi guys,
Recently upgraded my company mobile from S5 to S6. All good and fun, but the problem is that I quite often send long text messages to my customers.
On the S5 I could, without any problems, attach text from memo (where I have my text templates saved) and send it - no problems, some of them are long and reach/are sent in 5 simultaneous texts (without converting them into MMS).
On S6 however I can't send them - once it reaches 480 characters it doesn't allow me to type anything. Message appears "Maximum number of characters reached".
Why's that? I flashed Marshmallow based roms (which I had on my S5) and nothing. Is that a particular limitation on S6 ---> onwards phones?
It there any way to solve this?
Thank you for your help.
Anyone?

Hi guys.
Im from Portugal and we use special characters when writing like "à ã é" etc..usually we can use 160 characters per sms but for some reason if we use those special characters some bug happens that reduces characters to 60 per sms!!(or something like that). That almost triples the cost of the message. Now wtf is this? How can google let this happen? Is there a way around it?i tried gosms but it does not have an option to disable special characters. My girlfriend has a galaxy S2 and it is on stock rom modified by Vodafone Portugal and she can use those special characters and the bug does not happen. So i assume that vodafone has changed something. I am on 4.0.4 (not official, i flashed it from the nexus s android development)
Any help?
I'm currently on my G2(gingerbread) and just tried this. They all still count as one character. Never noticed this on my nexus though. If you don't get a response by the time I get home, I can check from the nexus to be sure

It's not a bug. It's the way the characters are being "translated".

I am using the modified mms apk from our nexus s section but what the app does is use "e" instead of "é". It sucks that i cant write correctly. On my girlfriends phone(stock, as mentioned earlier on first post) she can use special characters normally. Isnt there a way to keep using special characters instead of them being converted to normal characters?

where are you from?are you using stock rom?Or maybe this is just on ICS..
Well, as the name of the thread explains quite well, my dialer is not searching in the contact names. It only searches the numbers.
The phone is pretty new. Bought it last week while travelling internationally. Didn't use the phone features till today when I got back. I have downloaded and installed a lot of games so I don't want to factory reset it.
Any ideas?
PS: Tried searching through XDA and Google for a solution. Didn't find anything that could help me. Don't bash me if I missed something.
SOLUTION:
Delete google account and re-add it.
Couple things I can think of.
1) Have you got your contact sync on?
2) dialed enough numbers? Think you need to dial 2-3 before it shows last I tried.
3) what FW you using etc?

Ah One of the firmwares doesn't do the number prediction on dialling. Can't remember which one it was, but I've seen threads about it before. But it is possible it's your region

I really did try that before asking for help, man.
Update:
I had installed whatsapp (finally) and noticed that smart dialling started working after that.
But it only searches in the names of contacts who are linked to whatsapp. The ones who are linked only to my google account are still not searched.
This is the weirdest bug I have ever encountered in any phone/ROM.

Hmm that is bizarre. open dialer > hit the soft key > settings and choose contacts to display? maybe it's not set to default (All) - or like I said previously, could be the firmware (cannot find the thread that mentions about it now )

Any chance to get searching on Hong Kong firmware?
Smartdial (pinyin only) doesn't work on latest stock firmware (6.0.1) for Samsung Note 4 Duos, too.
Latin etc alphabetic languages OK.
Strange, because in stock contacts app, hieroglyphic names are grouped to the correct pinyin's first letter!
So the hieroglyphs are rendered to pinyin by system internally, but it's not used in the dialer.
Hi everyone !
I just would like to expose my solution about this problem. I have a Honor 9 with official firmware and this function worked like a charm for few weeks, but stop a day !
So to get back this function, I had to go to the contacts application, next click on "more", next "organize contacts" and finally "repair index data".
And it works !
So now if I want to make a phone call to "Sophie" for example, I can just type : "76" or "767".
My phone is in french. Application contacts, puis "plus", puis "organiser les contacts", puis enfin "Réparer l'index des données"
Hi udine1981!
I have the exact same problem with my Honor 8, but after I do reindexing, it only works for a few hours and after that I cannot find the contacts again...
Was reindexing once a permanent solution on your case?

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
Hey guys,
My default launcher and my default sms app keep switching back to default on its own. Sometimes when I reboot or when I pair a new Bluetooth device.
Not sure why, and I keep switching it back. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix it?
I've switched me default sms app probably a few hundred times since getting my new phone and seems like every time I get a text message I'm like WTF where is it? Lol
Yes this has been discussed before. There's a bug that seems to reset the defaults when you use Bluetooth.
I'm using the stock launcher so can't really comment in detail.

With the Mate 9, I have the same issue of my default sms app being switched back to factory sms. I also see it having correlation to using ultra battery mode, meaning that I discover the switch only after returning from ultra battery. I called Huawei, great staff btw, but they were unable to resolve the issue. Told me to use phone manager more to clear cache and optimize the device. Neither of those actions have resolved the switch. I'll stop using ultra battery and see if anything else triggers it.
I found that reboot and adding or removing a paired Bluetooth device will trigger it as well.
Hi.
You can try:
Settings -> write on the top search bar: "default" -> Default apps -> Settings for default apps (or some thing like this, I'm spanish) -> Launcher
and change value there.

This won't help...this is a bug in Chinese version ROM....I've both Chinese Mate 9 and International Mate 9....the international one don't have this issue....
The launcher will reset to default one, if mate 9 successfully connected to a bluetooth device when you are not in launcher screen.....

I am in Hong Kong. Of course i cannot contact local support, it's a chinese firmware mate 9, the hong kong dealer will not take care this.....(Hong Kong use international firmware).....
I have likewise noticed the launcher switch back to the default one occasionally, and searching google led me here. I bought a Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Bangkok, Thailand last month. I love the phone, but this suddenly switching back to the default without notice was concerning, esp. after reading the news that all U.S. Intelligence agencies issued a warning to all Americans to not use Huawei products due to their possibly being monitored/tracked by the Chinese government and military. Glad to hear the international version rom doesn't have this glitch. It makes me feel it's a genuine glitch in the rom rather than something malicious? sigh... Fantastic phone though, best Android phone I've owned to date. It's a shame they killed the deal with AT&T to bring it enmasse here. Way better than iPhone X or Galaxy S9 in my opinion.
This case happened on my phone (Huawei Honor V8 with emui 8.0) . After system reboot, the third-part SMS app which I set to default Messaging app will lose messaging permission sometimes. I have to check carefully every time I rebooted my phone as I can't sovled it.
Fixed the voice recognition. Tested and worked. Not sure what else was fixed in this release but thought I'd start a thread for it.

well my test consisted of opening the messages app, replying to an existing text by speaking. The watch asked if I wanted to send the speech as an audio file or actual text. I selected text and off it went. recognized all words I spoke "Just trying to send a test".

Hello to everyone. I'm dealing problems after last update of gear app software. Every time Gear S2 tries to exchange data (reconnection, data to Shealth, watch apps install) with Galaxy S5 (android 5.0 and android 6.0.1) it uses 99% of phone cpu for 50-60sec, , sucking both batteries (phone and watch). Tried on android 5.0, android 6.0.1, rooted or not. Is there any ideas what is wrong?
