I have an ongoing issue between the two. SlideIt is the keyboard I like to use since it gives me options to select from when I use the voice input. After selecting what i wished used(txt), all apps will use the selected words except Handcent(displays nothing).
Handcent's owns voice will display the text it hears.
Stock sms app will use the SlideIt text.
Handcent refuses to play with SlideIt's voice. But it will the predictive KB.
Email's to each company have provided no help other than acknowledgment responses.
Looking for help here.
try touchpal in the android/apps thread. has themes too

Hello,
Sorry if this question sounds a bit... dumb... but I cant find a way to send an sms to multiple recipients.
I come from sgs2 where i could select as many recipients from my contacts as I wanted but in galaxy nexus stock sms app I cant find a way to do that. I have to type the first letters and then my contacts appear.
Is there a way that i missed ??
I'm afraid there isn't any way to access your "list" of contacts and just check/uncheck boxes to send messages to that particular group of people. You have to type out their name/number in the "to" field. But I know a handful of 3rd party texting apps that allow you to do this, handcent comes to mind... GoSMS maybe?
Create a new sms then type some until you can Select one of the numbers, after that at the end of the number and name of the contact you will see a ", " touch the screen there and type some after the ", " and Select the second contact and so on, or download ex dialer wich have way more features and options than stock gapps, exdialer its free and works great thats what i use

Thanks for your replies guys. I've never used 3rd party sms/dialer programs but i'll do now.
I was wondering if anyone changed their SMS/text messaging app. I know that with the preloaded samsung text messaging app when I'm in the convo I can bring it up to my ear and it starts dialing. I honestly love this feature as I can tired of texting a lot and then I just called the person up if the texting gets too long. However, I'd like to use an alternative SMS app because the default one to me is extremely ugly. I hate looking at it a lot. So I was hoping to use something like chomp or panzi or something with a better looking theme and better support for emoji with my friends are relentless and not giving it up. So Does anyone have any ideas on keeping this feature? Any sms apps that work with this? I know it's a throw in the dark but what the heck. Thought I'd ask anyway.

The motion features, like the one your talking about are cool, but alas they seem to only work within the stock applications. I personally use GoSMS and I can not lift the handset to my ear and it call the contact unless I use the default messaging app (I switched mainly because of the way it slideshows any MMS - very stupid)
Another feature is the double tap the top of the phone to go back to the top of the page, but I use enhanced email (not the default email apps) and that feature doesnt work either.
If anyone finds a way to merge the motion features with 3rd party sms apps, I'd be interested.

Shucks, I feel the same way. The motion features are great but these default apps stink! lol. I prefer the alternatives way more. sigh.
Mixed answers everywhere. Is stock AT&T Samsung keyboard using Swiftkey flow? If not, could we make a request post?
huh?
to who and for what?
Stock keyboard already has flow.
It always was (i317M, anyhow).
The privacy policy link on the 'Predictive text' setup screen goes to SwiftKey. The setup options are the same as Swiftkey - Learn from Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, etc.
ETA: except for the handwriting recognition, which comes from Vision Objects
ETA2: to be clear, the stock keyboard doesn't have the real-time prediction display of the upcoming beta.

Thanks for the clarification.
Just saw the video of real-time prediction. so awesome.
Strange issue. I have swiftkey and thumb keyboard installed on my rooted JB. S3. If I am in a browser (only use dolphin or firefox) the keyboard will not display predictive and more importantly the double space for period doesn't work either. It does however work in any other app that I use (namely email and sms)
what's going on?

There are some fields in apps (think of like an "Email" or "Password" fields) that normally tell the keyboard to NOT use predictive text. For an example of this, go to Settings > Accounts > Add Google > Existing > and just type in whatever. Predictive text doesn't work because the app told the keyboard to disable it. Also the same way that some apps (I beleive Domino's Pizza app does this), when it comes for you to input a number (for example Credit Card #, Phone, or ZIP), they tell the keyboard to switch to the numberpad by default.
Long story short, this is as designed by Dolphin and Firefox (presumably, see above for details).
Hi,
Coming from an iPhone background, I am finding the transition to this phone great!!!
One minor problem is group messages of 7 or more getting converted to MMS (as I found out to my expense). Is there an alternative SMS app that doesn't do this??
Go sms
Send from my Z1C using tapatalk
i use chomp sms
MySMS
MySMS is really great. Support different websms Provide, A perfect backup function and a lot more. Free Messages between Mysms users are also included...
Thanks for the replies :good:
I know this thread is a little old, but I remember that there was some hidden options in the SMS app on Gigerbread (3 Android version ago). One of them was whether or not you wanted to auto convert SMS messages longer than 160 characters to MMS. If your phone was rooted, you could edit an xml file to make this option appear so that you could check it.
In the same .xml file, you could actually set the numbers of character required for the auto convert to embark. I remember putting a crazy number.
In the end, on your phone it would still show as one huge message, but the recipient would receive multiple messages of 160 characters. Your phone would do the magic and send regular SMS instead of MMS.
If I can find the thread, I would link it, and then see if those options still works in KitKat on my rooted Z1c.
Check out sliding messaging. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smitten.slidingmms

Textra is hands down the best messaging app I've used. Try it out!
textra is a simplified version of chomp. i just like the more customisation that chomp offers
