If I add a short cut to my homescreen "Direct Message" and select a contact number this works fine but... when I use this to send a message which starts a new thread for the contact the first response back from them starts a separate message thread. There are then 2 threads in the stock SMS messaging app for the same contact.
Has anyone else run into this or know of a fix?

Is there any kind of tweak of program to allow sending of multiple text messages? The only way I know of to do that now is to open up a new text, touch "To," touch a contact; then the screen reverts back to the new text message with one contact added, and you have to repeat that process for however many contact you want to include. I would like a way to select several contacts from the phoneboon first, and then get to the new message screen. I know that you can select multiple contacts at once, but there is no option to send a new text message to them all at once.
sending a text to multiple contacts
each txt message is like an email, you can simply put a semi-colon ( ; ) after the first contact in the "TO" field of the message. after the semi-colon put a space & the next contact etc etc..
you can also choose menu > add recipients once you create the message. thats kind of what your wanting.
i remember an app called PowerSMS that dealt with "groups" of contacts but it wasn't freeware. you may check into the app & see if it suits your needs
Have you tried...
Select new.
Pick SMS/MMS/Flix/Pix/whatever.
Cursor should now be in the "To" field.
Start typing the name of the contact you want to use.
Name should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the name to insert it in the "To" field.
Repeat for additional names!
Works for my Verizon TP

You could try Moblmsg (freeware). it doesnt store your texts in the standard way but allows you to define and save groups and send texts to them.
I use SKB Group SMS, works great and sends your multiple text in secs....

I know this is probably a stupid question but just wanted to clear it up in my mind:
the reason I CAN NOT reply to all in a text is because the text that is coming to me (SPCS is my carrier) only sees the sender not the sender's distribution list correct?
OK, I purchased the EVO 3D on release day from Sprint. They transfered all my contacts over from my HTC Hero. I soon started seeing some text messages showing the persons phone number and not their name. I posted the issue on another forum, and was told to delete all my contacts off the phone and log back in to my GMail to reload them. I did the complete data reset and loaded them back up with GMail. Sent a message from my wife's phone to mine and again it showed her number, but no name. I turned the phone off and then back on and tried it again and Viola, now I am getting the name as it should be. But now it is doing something even more strange. Anytime I send a text message to anyone as soon as I press send there is a text window that pops up and says "message saved as draft" . The message was sent to the person I wanted it to go to, but when you look at the main text message page it says " Draft" under the photo. I don't have people's photo so it is just the generic outline of a person. Then when I go to the drafts page the phone is making two drafts of each message that I send. I see nothing in the settings to change to keep this from happening. If anyone knows how I can correct this I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks

So for whatever reason, whenever I text my bestfriend (only happens for his contact so far), the message I sent does not appear threaded into the message stream. I "create new message" and send something to him, and I get the screen that should have all our messages back and forth, but it is 100% blank. Anything he sends back to me threads in another message also under his contact info, but none of my responses will appear.
So far this is only happening to this one contact, any thoughts?
I dont have this problem with Handcent.
Whenever I try to compose a new text message and I try to enter the recipient from my address book, or when I actually send the message, or open a text message thread...there is a lag of about 30-40 seconds. I used to have no limit on the amount of texts per thread, but I have took it down to 200 and I still get this lag. Why is this?
I'm stock by the way on the latest software update.
Sorry if this thread is a duplicate, I tried searching.
BTW I use mighty text and I have most of my contacts facebook linked.
so I take it that it's normal for a text message thread, no matter how long it is(10 messages or 200) to take half a minute to load....ok.

I think this is the same problem I'm experiencing ... Happens with my contacts too. Check out a thread called log all of a sudden ... There were a few responses but no solution

Does the stock message app have the same problem?

I'm talking about the stock message app. Mighty Text is an app that allows you to texts from your phone using your laptop.
Hello Guys
Can you start communicating with someone in WhatsApp without him being in your contact list? Some people are claiming it's doable. I know you can talk with them if they happen to be on the same group.
I don't want to go through the hassle of creating a contact just to talk to him in WhatsApp for one time
The claim is that there is a button somewhere in the phone call history to select whatsapp as a messaging app instead of sms. All I see is a sms button that links to the messaging app
I found the below instructions but it doesn't work on my phone.
https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-way-to-send-WhatsApp-messages-to-someone-not-on-your-contact-list
From the link
"This is possible only in certain mobile phones.*
Type the number in Keypad
Press the Menu button
Click Send message option
You will get a menu, saying Send via WhatsApp, Message, Hike and other such apps which you have installed in your device.Click on WhatsApp.
Now you can send message through WhatsApp to the number which is not in your Contact list.
