I just reverted to 4.4.4 and my battery is great. I clicked on a file to send it via text to a friend. for whatever reason I cant. The only options are gmail, email, bluetooth, wifi direct. I have Hangouts, and the other text apps on my phone but none of these are an option.
What do I need to do so I cant text pics, and other files.
Thanks everyone!

Right, I'm at my whit's end.
I've added contacts to my new Desire, and managed to link them with their respective FaceBook profiles. The thing is, i now want to send a group text message, and the primary message method is via e-mail. I don't want to send an e-mail, i want to text their phone number. I can't seem to find anything which will change it so that an SMS is primary and e-mail is secondary.
Any ideas on that one? I know i can send a single message, but that isnt what i want to do, i want to highlight any contact i wish and have it automatically send an SMS, and not an e-mail.
Also, when sending a message, is there any way to filter the contacts down to just those with phone numbers OR e-mail instead of having a massive amalgamated list of Facebook, Twitter, Google and Phone contacts?
Any help will be hugely appreciated!
hi did you get anywhere with this - esp your last point - must be something obvious ?!
Nope, got nowhere. I can't find any option or anything anywhere to do this. Ive just decided to try and live with it.
If I understood well..when you type in a new message and click in recepients, then the list with your contacts pops up. But, in mine at least, every contact that has a phone number and an email, has 2 records, one with the mail and one the phone number, only to let you choose what you want. Although in contacts list, have one all together.
it shows me:
nikos <[email protected]>
nikos <+000>
etc...
I have the same system as well. The issue i'm raising is when you have say, 350 Facebook contacts and 200 Gmail contacts, and you want to send a message, you have to scroll through every contact to get to the one you want.
I want to know if there's a way to filter the contacts to say "Mobile Numbers Only" or "Email Only" when you're trying to select a (many) recepient(s) for a message.

i installed handcent and i like it but i have 1 problem with it when i try and text my wife it will not send but i can send texts to her on stock sms. I can send texts to anyone one else in handcent any ideas?
thanks
p.s how do you delete a app?
I haven't run into that problem with handcent. Here is how you delete the app:
-menu
-settings
-applications
-manage applications
-scroll down and select handcent sms
-select uninstall
iam still havin this problem i deleted her contact info then put it back and it worked for 5 texts and stoped but i did notice something but dont know how to fix.
When i look at list of texts everyone else i send just show there name on hers is name then phone number like this sue <1-123-123-1234> when it comes up that way i cant text her anymore how do i stop this
check all your contacts, you may have her number attached to another contact. if you sync your contacts to google, use google contacts on your browser to check this (it'll be easier)
i did check that but i will look again the funny thing is after i redid her contact info it worked for 5 texts then stoped
Hi xda-developers,
I've got a strange problem. As of last night I have had two problems.
First, it seems that my outgoing SMS messages are no longer saved. Well at least they aren't visible in the threaded SMS conversations and I can't find them anywhere. They do go through to the recipients, I can confirm. Also, I do get incoming SMS in the conversations just fine.
Second, it seems that Gmail is no longer syncing anything. If I go into Gmail and hit sync manually, the sync icon appears for just a couple seconds, then goes away having failed to download any new messages.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Cheers,
Paul Thompson
Hello guys,
I'm using Desire HD
Dutch
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sense 3.0
SW number: 3.13.161.3
(all the latest updates)
Recently I updated my Adobe Flash/Reader/Air apps, google maps app, and facebook app.
Now I get many problems:
(by the way: I can only use WiFi, since I'm abroad and don't want to spend roaming costs)
- Facebook app doesn't show anything, keeps showing "loading" on the main screen.
- First time I did this, I got messages saying new contacts found for syncing. (but that is strange because all my contacts where already synced with facebook)
- Then there came the next problem, all my contacts lost there (facebook) profile picture!???
- Another issue occured when going to the Facebook website (with the built-in explorer) it loaded until the pictures (so text loaded fine, the bleu lines on top etc. fine, but no profile pictures, no ticker on the right, no pictures of actual photos just uploaded by friends in the newsstream (frontpage)... and it just "hangs"???
- Opening a new tab and just going to google.com also just "hangs".
- Closing all tabs, and kill all apps using a app killer, and killing the WiFi connection and reconnect, then google.com loaded fine again.
But still, FB website, the FB app and profile pics (linked to FB) in contacts, all don't work anymore.
What can be wrong?
I already tried: Facebook HTC Sense Not Updating Contacts Resolved by Joe Lovrek Published by Jul 27 2010 (google it) ,, but didn't work.
I also tried changing FB settings on my desktop computer on the FB normal webpage, changing the secure https setting back to htttp setting. No good.
Can anybody help?
Please ask for more info if needed!
Ok little update on this matter:
After a lot of playing around with deleting FB accounts/sync. , delete caches and update and return to previous versions etc....
And changing securitysettings in facebook (desktop version), deleting apps/website in the account settings... etc.etc.
I now got it all installed again, but still no FB profile pics in contacts app, and also when opening facebook app, only text appears, no photo's (like photo's that friends uploaded in your mainscreen, or your own pofile pic left upper corner.... that stuff)
But I tapped on my photoalbums and tapped on a photo, and just left it there.....
after 2/3minuten seeing the black screen with the greyish squares on it, all of a sudden the picture appeared!!
And now when I have the FBapp open for some time,,,all photos start to appear! (Randomly in random albums!!)
What the ????
Whats wrong with the app or my phone that loading the pics in the app (and thus profile pics aswell) can be done, but takes forever!???
Is there a background program running in android limiting photos?? Or is it the adobe flash / adobe air update that causes it??
Problem solved, but another arised:
Problem with having FB and Whatsapp and loading images on the FB website with stock internet app was:
- Firewall / port issues with my WiFi,,,I use connectify to turn my laptop into a router aswell, and in its settings, uPnP was on. I switch it all off and I could download the images again.
But now another problem happens:
- after the hard reset and installing everything again from scratch, my stock mail app does weird: when I first openend it, I as normal, created a account, a gmail account, and it works fine, but I want all mail and max size. So I want all my 2000+ emails in my phone aswell as is in my desktop version of gmail. I also have custom made maps, or labels or whatever gmail namens it, but the problem is: when it downloads the emails, it only downloads like 200 a time, and from every map, (sent items, inbox, deleted items) it downloads everything randomly and puts it all in Inbox,,,I don't have the option anymore saying -> menu->maps-> my custom maps are not there anymore?!? and all the mail that comes in is in my inbox!??
And I first get all mail from like 2 years ago, I haven't had any recent mail in yet, everytime I refresh it.
How to resolve this, anyone?
I think I have back now.
I probably entered when setting up the account when at first openening the stock mail app, I choose "gmail" account....but you have to choose: "other(POP/IMAP)"
And then first thing at the top it says POP, change it to IMAP.
Make sure in your google mail account on your desktop you have IMAP enabled.
(Go on your desktop, to the webinterface of gmail, to the upperright there is a gearbox symbol which is settings: then go to 'forwarding (POP/IMAP). Here you can select IMAP enabled or not.)
Than finish setting up the account. (port number can be found on googles own help site)
Now when you open your stock mail app settings menu, go to sent & recieve, I want all my mail so I select: max limit, download all days, and maps to synchronize: now you can choose your 'labels'maps again and stuff.
I immidiately saw it was downloading like 1500 mail again, as so many I have in my inbox.
And go to menu->maps: I see all my custom made maps (or labels as google names it) again.
Works great again!
Cheers
so, I recently upgraded my personal vehicle and it has bluetooth integration which also includes the ability to read (via the car "voice") SMS and email messages.
When I bring up the phone messages, I see the "title" of an SMS message (not emails but the phone might not have had any fresh emails at the time) but with I try to "read" the SMS message via the BT in the car, it says unable to retrieve the message.
is there a trick to this or do our GNex phones just not support this function.
I'm on Cyanogen 10.1 RC5 and I use Handcent for SMS and K-9 for my email client.
thanks...
