Does anyone know if it is possible to send group text on win 7? I am using HTC HD 7.
Thanks
When you start a convo, there a little "+" symbol to the right where you put the persons name.
True. but i am unable to form a group. Looks like i have to select all the contacts every time i want to send a mass text.
Ohhhhh. I don't think that's available yet. Would be convienient. I know WP7 does save who u txt though in a history (I've used that several times) but I don't know how long that list is.
yes it is, I have done it a few times
Can you tell me how you made groups for group text on Win 7? I cant seem to figure that out.
After you send a text to multiple people, it stays in your conversation list as "X recipients" where X is the number of people you sent it to. You can just select that and then type a new message and it will send it to all of the same people.
Thanks.
It was just so easy in HD-2, that it was a no brainer. WM-7 just makes it a lil complicated. Looks like i have to save the group conversation just so that i can reply/send text to same people in future...hmm
Gorup text app

There's an app in the store under "Productivity." It lets you make groups, but, not from your contacts - you have to enter a phone number for each member and can't associate names with them.
Personally, I'm waiting for an app that allows you to create groups of existing contacts...

I read about 6.1's ability to use 'find as you type' contact searching in SMS land. As in, I type 'ty' in the TO: field, and 'Tyler Smith' comes up without having to go into the contact list to find it. Anyone know how to enable this functionality?
xT9 is autocomplete compatible. alt + space will get you where you need to go. It's pointless IMHO if you have a complete keyboard.
If you can't type Tyl and scroll to the hundreds of friends you have named Tyler then it's time for your friends to change there names.
I am not looking for autocomplete for words, I'm looking for it for contacts. When I type in the name field, I get word matches, not contact matches. So, if I type 'Ty', it suggests 'Tyler' as a word, but not as a link to anyone in my contacts list.
When one clicks on Contacts in WM 6 or a cooked 6.1, I personally have always been able to type say I'm looking for a girl named Sarah. I type s....a.....r....
It gives me a list of girls I know of Sara or Sarah.
I scroll down to either one I want to call.
If you are trying to do something else??? I don't understand
I'm talking about doing this from a new SMS compose window. I read that 6.1 allows you to use this kind of search within an SMS window, without leaving the TO field.

This is what he's talking about but regarding TEXT messages. Currently, making phone calls works fine like this, but when composing an SMS/MMS, you have to add a recipient the long way...
when you are adding a contact, in the To: field. Center click and your contacts will appear, proceed typing a couple of letters and pick the contact.
If you want multiple contacts, repeat the process.
I know right....

This is one of the features that was anticipated for 6.1, "look up contacts in messaging just like windows mobile professional". But I can't get it to work either. I have no idea what is up. kinda pisses me off actually
Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude
I have searched many forums and the market to no avail so I was hoping someone here could help.
Is there any way we, android users, can get a function similar to iOS4 users with their "group mms" option. To those of you not familiar, its basically a chat room like feature that uses your text messages. For example, if I were to create a new text on the iphone, I could add more people to it. Once it's sent out, if anyone replies, that reply will go to all of those in the group and so forth. In essence, a chat room is created where everyone receives a copy of everyone else's text.
At any rate, a few of my friends have iphones and I was hoping to be able to communicate with them in such a manner but neither the stock messaging application or handcent has this function. The few options that might work would involve having all of my friends download some new app along with myself and even that doesn't work all the time.
ANY help would be much appreciated.
bump to the top

this would be helpful for me also as i communicate with multiple people. As of right now i just email stuff out to them so we can all see the replies. To have this on text would be awsome.
I would also like to setup groups so i can just select 1 group to text. I had this on my treo pro and it disappeared when i went to these new smart phones.
As far as I know, there is no such feature currently available without the use of third-party applications (that use data to do it).
Sorry
Maybe someone will build that feature eventually lol
The iPhone's ability to 'group chat' is just Apple being smart about the fact that MMS message details contain all recipients. They simply made their SMS app able to receive all the recipients and reply to all as a group.
An Android app like Go SMS or HandCent (or Google's stock app) could easily be modified to work just like this, if someone would do it.

I wish someone would do it already, I felt pretty stupid the other day when I was in a group text with a couple people with iPhones and didn't know it.
App in the market called groupme works perfect even though this thread is super old lol.

Have you tried GO Sms Pro it has what you are looking for built in. Gave that a Try
I've been using GOsms pro for a while and i don't see this feature listed anywhere. Where is it?
I've have also been looking for this feature. The sad part is that it was possible on my old blackjack 2. All of the messaging apps that I have used so far including go sms and handcent only allow you to send texts to more than one person in one conversation, but when they reply, it goes back to being separated. Group chat should be implemented in android like it is on the iPhone.

bump for this.
I woke up this morning to a group chat with 3x iPhone 4S users and I had to reply to each of them individually.
I use go SMS also...
I think you have to be the one to start the group chat, just start a new text message and put in all the numbers/names u wanna text, hit send. it'll automatically group them together in 1 text
bump this i have the same deal , a bunch of friends have iphones...
The sidekick 4g has this feature built in. My friend group chats with me and other friends all the time. To tell u the truth it gets annoying having so many texts at the same time lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Any one have solutions for this? A lot of my friends use this on iPhone and its annoying not to participate. So I'll get a text and if I respond it only goes back to the originator, while I then get what look like individual texts from others that are clearly responding and going to everyone, and I'm assuming my responses would only just go back to the original writer. Even if I could just see everyone included and then include them manually I'd be ok.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I also have this problem, and its really annoying me. For me group texts are split into each persons single sms thread, when I would like them to be grouped. Do any of the devs think that they could come up with a solution? Honestly, I would be willing to pay to get this solved
I currently have a thunderbolt and it has SOAB rom from BAMF. With this rom I can see the people on the group list. However, when i was on a different rom I would only see the sender. Since now I can see the the group, I can respond in the thread and join the chats and not be left out. the way I did it was to respond to thread in an mms format. If you guys notice, the iphone group comes in as an mms. So my question to you guys, do you see all the people on the list when you receive that message? If so try replying in a mms format. You can do that by putting a dot in the subject line and it'll convert it to mms. The only annoying part about it is yo have to manually be converting a mms message all the time. If you dont, the sms message will go to them in a seperate thread. I tried to find an app that give you the option to chose a message wheither mms or sms without adding a subject line. The only app i found was verzion messages app which auto converts group messages into mms. However, the app doesnt work all the time. I hope it works for you guys cuz I am really happy now since I dont feel left
Mine does that, although to reply to all u have to long press and select reply to all, which I think is better the iPhone does it automatically,
On sense 3.0 messaging, but sense 1 allowed for group Txts to be sent, so I imagine it had a reply all as well

+1.................
i wish they did integrate categories (which outlook desktop offers). but anyways, the best work around i've seen is to create a text message (which is what i'm assuming you want this for) and add all the people you want to that message. then when you send it, and view the sms inbox, you can see the text you sent and it will say "x recipients". you can then reuse the list by clicking on it and writing a new message that way.
not the best approach, but it's works for the time being.
have you checked the marketplace?
I have seen sms apps in there like one called group sms or something to that effect.
Hi All, is there any way we can select multiple contacts while sending same SMS.
regards,
I encountered the same "no multiple contacts" dilemma while creating a Group inside People. It really is a PITA not having a way of selecting more than one contact at a time!
Major FAIL if you ask me...
Otherwise I've found WM7.5 pleasing to use... Lacking but pleasing...

You can create a group with multiple contacts, and then in the group, there is an option to text to the whole group.
Unfortunately the grouping is limited only to 20 people.

I have never had the need to group text more than 20 people, but I did notice that when you choose text to everyone in the group, the To field has a + and you can add more name through your contacts. Does that limit you? Because you are not bounded by the group limit being 20.

Yes thanks for the tip, however that does tend to be a PITA when you use the groups and contacts often. (like for like social networking or business purposes).
I wouldn't mind the 20 people limit if at least I could select contacts via check-marks or something like that, but the current method of selecting and going back to the application and then selecting another one is just lame!
Sorry for the rant!
