I have had the problem with all HTC phones how it displays the Call History.
I want to see Call History grouped by name. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Third party app
Beside using a third party app (like Dialer One for ex.) I didn't find any other possibility. If there is a way to do this using stock app I'm also curious to find out.
Greets!

Hi guys, I hope you can tell me something.
I came from an Htc HD which obviously had Sense.
I was used to the fact that sms from contacts with multiple numbers were grouped by name.
So if John had more then one phone, and sent me messages from all his phones, they would all appear as John's messages (same thread).
Now I came to Android, I installed a number of different messaging apps, and none does the same.
Is it just me that needs such a feature?
Is it even possible on Android?
Go SMS Pro, Messaging, Handcent SMS, all show the exact same behaviour: a thread for each number!
So now my friend John has two or three threads, depending on which phone he has in his reach at the moment...
I can't believe I'm the only one that can't stand this...
Merge similar contacts together.

Man... You think I'm stupid or you didn't read my post.
I HAVE single contacts with multiple numbers and still they appear as separate threads.

Same problem here
I'm on the HTC HD2 with a gingerbread rom, been bugged by the exact same problem for months. Seems all I can find are other people mentioning the problem, and no solution :/
Solution found?
I downloaded gosms now i don't get the message previews in the lockscreen? Anyone know how i can get those back lol. i like knowing what im getting in a text before unlocking my phone haha
your gonig to have larger problems than that. All third party message apps are broken.
you wont get pictures for contacts, which isnt so bad, but the big one is you wil lget texts form people but it will show the wrong contact it was recieved from. then you respond and it goes to the named contact, not the original sender. so it mixes up the people in the list. Stock messaging app is the only one that works at the moment.

I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

I see this as well. It's a shame since other phones already have the ability.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
Hello Guys i was just wondering does anyone know of a third party app that has the direct dial function on the S3. I like the Direct Dial function but i am not keen on the stock messaging app and currently use Handcent which i like alot.
Thanks
There are no third party apps that can do this as of yet.

I'd like to have a different ringtone for callers not in my contact list. On my old Samsung phone there was a hack to do this by setting up a group that all my contact were in, and giving that group it's own ringtown. I don't see a way to do that using the "labels" on the dialer on the Pixel 6. Any suggestions? Is there a third party app that can handle this? An alternate dialer?
