Does anyone know how I can configure the native SMS to run Google voice?
I do not have unlimited texting so I use Google voice to send and receive texts.

Hrm- well sorry to state the obvious - but you have Google Voice installed on your phone?
1. Open Google Voice.
2. Press your menu button (physical soft button on the phone).
3. Press more.
4. Press settings.
5. Press sync and notifications.
6. Press Receive text messages.
7. Press Also via the messaging app.
Not done yet. Now you need to check your setting from a computer.
1. Go to Google Voice Inbox on your computer.
2. Go to options (upper right corner - the little cog).
3. Choose voice settings.
4. Under the Phones tab (the first tab) scroll down to the bottom and check to see that "Recive text messages on this phone" is selected. If it is- cool. If it is not - then select it.
5. ?????
6. Prosper.
I hope that that works for you. That's the best I got on the subject.

Did all that and went into native sms to send a message but receive pop-up "message failed. Would you like to retry?"

I have searched for it, and I see no answers....
Problem: I have a contact in "people" named "john smith". "john smith" has a number (or two, or three) entered in for his contact already, let say his "mobile" number. "john smith" calls me and I say "hey where are you calling from?" he tells me he is calling from home. So now I would like to add that number to his contact. I cannot find a way to do this.
I have tried going into "people" then finding the contact, and going into "edit", I've tried pushing and holding everywhere to hopefully find a menu, i've looked in the "menu" and the "add" button looks promising but no go.
The manual says:
1. Display the entry in People
2. Scroll down the screen and tap: ADD>PHONE
3. Tap the type of phone number you want to add (for example, HOME or WORK)
4. Enter the phone number and tap: SAVE
...This sounds great, but when you click on MENU and then click on ADD it asks you to "select a default action".
I know I could add this in my contact entry for "john smith" through gmail, but you would think that I could also do this through my phone, it woould make more sense.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

If you go in via the people widget, and you select a particular contact - one way is to select the three parallel bar button at the bottom of the widget - you can then select the person from the list after this (it defaults to the list). Selecting the contact should show the details for that person. From there, if you hit physical "menu" button, it will present options including "edit". Click on the "edit" option on screen, scroll to the bottom and click on "Add details".
thanks bluehawk, I had forgotten that I posted this.
and forgotten to thank you.
Hey Folks,
I've got a question about calling someone on your contact list. I've only found two ways to make a call:
1) Go to your phone book and press down on the contact for a second. This brings up a menu where you can select the option to modify the number before making a call. From there, just hit the call button.
2) Go to your phone book and tap on the contact and that takes you to an Info page. From there, you can tap the number and it will call. Not to complain about it, but this requires a bit of finesse. There's a TON of space on the screen to have a call button.
Is there something I'm missing? Neither of these options is any good.
1. Press the contact pic n you get a mini menu option to call, txt, it email
2. Download a dialer app-personally, I'm using dialer one. On contact list it has a green button by the name to call instantly. Also has smart dial function; so u can spell contact name using number pad and find contact
3. Create shortcut on home screen for ur fav contacts
1. Long press on homescreen
2. Choose shortcuts
3. Direct Dial
4. Choose the contact you want
5. If you want to call them, just tap on that shortcut from your homescreen directly
I put a bunch of my direct dial contacts in a folder so i can call them with 2 taps essentially
On my Captivate I had the ability to add a Direct Dial icon to my screen, allowing me to call someone with one press of a button. I was using Launcher Pro, and am not sure if it was that launcher of the Samsun firmware that gave me the ability to add that shortcut.
However, on the Atrix, also running launcher pro, I don't see an option anywhere to add direct dial, as in its missing from the list of things to add.
I can add a contact to the page, but then there's a second step needed to actually dial the number.
Any thoughts on how I can get around it?
Nobody? Am I the only one who ever used the direct dial function?
I did it too, cant find it on atrix either
Had the same problem, here's what you can do:
Get the [free] app "Folder Organizer lite" from the market...Then go to the create a shortcut menu, and select Folder Organizer item - pick Direct Call / Direct Text etc. from the next menu and you're good to go. Works great! There is built-in functionality with Blur but I find it to be very flaky / hard to setup.
This worked! Thank you very much. Now I'm 100% happy with the phone!

how did you get this to work? after i make the contact in the app, I keep getting the error message that "shortcuts were only available in the paid version" whenever i click on the new contact .
Animated widget is pretty cool too. I can direct dial or text any contact in my book from a single widget. The other app that worked well was anycut.

You don't make the contact in the app. You just add a shorcut like you would any other on your homescreen (so press and hold and select shortcut), in the shortcuts menu there is an option for folder organizer items, select that and then select direct dial from the list.

I don't know what is an issue here but I'm running LauncherPro as well and on my Atrix speed dial works just fine. Simple press dialer and old any button except 1 which is voicemail.
For thouse who moved from EVO 4G to EVO 3D it seems option to select ALL emails for deleting (for example) is not there any more in stock mail app.
HOW TO:
1. Go to inbox or All inboxes
2. Select at least one message (check green mark on left)
3. Tap menu button
4. See for "Select All" or "Deselect All" on the bottom.
Enjoy.
Hi there
I have A52s 5g ( A528B )
Bixby is too slow in process of my Commands .
How Can I replace it with Google assistant ?,
When i install it ffom google play , it gives this error !
From Settings, search for and select Device assistance app. Tap Device assistance app again, and a list of available assistants will appear. Choose your desired option, and then tap OK.
Once done, head back to Settings and you'll see the search button, tap Bixby and disable everything related to. And you're good to go
Forgot to mention that the Google assistant app from the Google store is more of a shortcut. The actual app is embedded in the Google app

Weird message as Google Assistant is installed as default on this phone... ^^
Just need to do a long press on the the middle squared button (Home button) on the bottom of the display and it will popup !
You can then disable Bixby via settings or uninstall it via adb commands if you don't want it anymore.
