Why cant I send text messages to more than 10 recepients on my Vibrant??
I use an app called "TEXT EASY" (paid version) to usually send out mass text messages to many people and I used it flawlessly on my G1, but I cant on my Vibrant??
The app gives you a warning about 10 recepients max, but geared towards Verizon users?!? What gives??
**EDIT**
I'd like to add that I am rooted running Obsidian V3 w/VooDoo... if that changes anything?!
I didn't actually send it out, but I composed a message to send to all of my contacts through the default messenger, might want to try that.
Yeah, I've used the default messanger (which is plenty capable in my opinion) and it worked very well.
sometimes I get duplicate texts... not sure if that is a sender issue, rom issue or messanger issue....
hmmm, i dont know then because I just tried this:
- went to contacts
- hit the "more" key > "send message" key > then chose over 10 contacts
- hit select
... then takes me to the virtual keyboard & "to" screen, but none of the contacts I've chosen show up?!
What the heck??
Mine is off so I cant test, hopefully someone else will? Also, what rom are you on?
Im running Obsidian v3 w/voodoo.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
try using batch mode in handcent? i swear by handcent, great txt app.
Yo UPDATE guys...
I'm running Obsidian v5 beta and I STILL CANT SEND A TEXT TO MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE!??!?! WTTTFFF?!?? Any ideas?!
I have Google Voice integration set up via Sprint (and I'm using the default text message handler).
For some reason when I have a conversation actually open on the screen I can get a text message (sound and vibration), and the message bar at the top will preview it, but it's not showing in the actual conversation.
I've missed several MMS this way (as well as normal texts).

yea, if i read your post right, it sounds like the same bug i've been experiecing. def an odd bug in the htc sense messaging app they provide as stock software. i'm also using gv thru sprint integration. usually hitting the back arrow to exit the conversation and move back to the sms inbox then allows the new message to populate.
because of this bug i've now developer the habiting of exiting all conversations and going back to the inbox before turning the screen off or switching programs.
if you're experiencing a different bug, could you perhaps provide more detail?
Pretty much the exact same thing except it never comes back, even if I hit back and go back into it.
I'll give another messaging app a try.

oh how odd the message doesn't appear when you exit the conversation..
perhaps there is an issue with the sms-mms database the app is using. the only easy solution there would be to wipe the database it is using and start fresh. i don't think there are any tools for analyzing the sms-mms database used by the htc messaging app as the sms-mms databased used by the aosp messaging app is different.
if wiping the database doesnt clear the issue, then it would appear most definitely to be a htc messaging app bug.
also, the nice option with google voice is you can check the gv app on your device to see whether or not the actual message came all the way through. if it appears in gv, but not in htc stock messaging app, thats def a bad sign for the htc messaging app (assuming you have good cell signal).
perhaps one of the developers might be encouraged to take a look into the app and see if its a bug they're able to fix through decompiling and recompiling the app.
Handcent seems to have fixed the issue.
I wouldn't be able to check Google Voice since the issue seems to have been most prevalent on MMS messages.
I've had lots of issues with Google Voice integration. I would randomly stop getting text messages for 1-2 hours at a time, every 2-3 days. If I checked Google Voice the messages were there, but they never came in on my phone. I could send messages to other carriers just fine. I couldn't get their messages though. Sprint was no go both ways.
After I deactivated Google Voice, the issue went away. Sucks, I'd love to use the application.
Basically I'm trying to get my Wife/teens to stop using carrier text messaging without having to explain to them how to use two different applications to send texts.
Doesn’t have to be Google voice, really any app that will act as the default messaging app and when texts come in over the Verizon number and they reply to the text the recipient gets the “free” text number to respond to will work – Gvoice just seemed like the easy choice.
I've done quite a bit of research and cannot seem to find a clear answer so I'm hoping someone here had come across this. What I'm looking to do is change the reply-to number that gets sent to text message recipients from the default messaging app, Go SMS or Handcent SMS. What I do NOT want to do is have two separate text messaging apps. I want all texts to come from one application.
The idea here is to avoid paying Verizon text messaging charges and eventually block carrier text messaging altogether by using Google voice to send/receive all SMS.
Ideally this is how it would work - When a friend sends me a txt using my Verizon number I get a notification. I click reply and then press send and one of two things happens:
1. Instead of sending the text over Verizon’s network the text automatically sends it through Google voice and my friend sees my Google voice number and replies to it, essentially encouraging them to use the new phone number but seamless from my perspective.
2. Another alternative is to send the text message over Verizon’s SMS network but have the reply-to number be my Google voice number so when they reply it will go through Google voice.
While #1 will more quickly reduce the number of text messages sent through the carrier network what's most important is I'm using the same app for all texting.
I don't mind purchasing an app that can do this either.
I using a rooted Galaxy Nexus if that helps.
no app can do what u want sorry
Performed a search and could not find anything simular.
I've had this issue with my Thunderbolt from day one and have confirmed it does not happen on my wife's Incredible S.
When I go to gallery and select a photo to send via text, when the photo loads in the text program the curser jumps the contact area at the top where you would select who to send to and goes directly to the "add text" under the picture.
Anyone else have this issue with their Thunderbolt? Running phone all stock.
Thanks!
Hi All,
Back in the days of using GB, I remember that the stock messaging app had an option to show only contacts w/ mobile numbers, so that you wouldn't accidentally select a landline or office phone to text (it might have been default functionality, actually - if a number was labeled as 'home' it wouldn't show up, however all 'mobile' numbers would).
Anyway, in ICS, I noticed that *all* numbers for a given contact show up when composing a new message. This seems to defy common sense, as I cannot send a text message to my parents' house landline.
Is there any way to make sure non-mobile numbers aren't shown when composing a new message?
