1 click group texting - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I can't figure a way how to do that neither with the stock contact/dialer app nor the GO launcher/contact app. I can do it using GO SMS pro but it takes many clicks. I can do it for an individual contact so I have to think there is a way to do it for groups but I can't figure it out...
Thanks!

With stock texting you just have to enter their name in at the top..
I'm not sure of any other way..

so many people eager to end up like:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...on-contact-list-didnt-know-use-new-phone.html
because if you can make group's to txt, of course there is always an ALL CONTACTS group...

Could you set up a contact, name it what you want, with the mobile numbers like this
1234567890, 1234567890, 0987654321?
No idea if that would work.

Poor guy... my stepson did sent a message intended to a female to his mom but there was no sexual references in it. You should see his face when I told him...
I will use it with a couple of buddies a our hunting lease. Everytime after someone shoota we start texting everybody to see who is the person that shot. I can text groups with about 6 clicks now using groups. The idea of just using a contact with all the numbers is a possibility but I'm sure it will have limitations on the amount of numbers. There must be a way to do this, I'm sureim not the only person wanting this.
Thanks!

I know on DW Contacts you can do it. I think the free version is limited on the number of times you can use this feature.

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....

[Q] Looking for app to hide a single contact from phonebook....

I am looking for a way to hide a single or a few contacts from my phonebook I am currently on a Sense based rom. Is there an app to do this? I have searched and haven't been able to find any? Would it be possible for one of the amazing devs on here to edit the stock phonebook to make this feature? It would be really cool to have the ability to hide contacts and password protect it. Thank you to all the devs that keep making our phones even better!
And the name of the app would be, "help me not get caught cheating!" no, that's too long. But you get the point.
That isn't going to hide any of your sexting history either. Lol

There are several apps in the market to help you cheat. I remember seeing at least 5 of them. Also, there are several apps that allow you to password-protect access to other apps as well. If you really can't find them, I'll find some for you, I just don't feel like it right now. lol

[Q] Stock ICS Email Links?

I just spent 20 minutes searching the threads and can't find my answer, so I thought I would take a chance and make a thread about this. If there is a thread about this, I apoligize in advance and I will go and crawl under a rock and hide! I'm just curious Why are all links in our emails not clickable they are just text format, I found something about this in a different site but I think the expertise in XDA is far superior, IMO so I don't trust anybody else...Thanks in advance.

Just to elaborate on my original post, what I found on the other site was that someone said that the legal team at Apple is what caused us to lose the ability to click on links in our email, which sounds stupid....

Yeah I don't use stock email app since gmail is my only email :/
That's weird... Google has been slipping lately
But to elaborate on your elaboration, if the legal issue was true, why does Gmail allow it? Is HTC in the meat grinder deeper than Google maybe?

With all the bs apple is doing to keep their competition on lockdown just so they won't get out sold, you can't really blame htc, best option would be to find an alternative email app as you previously said, though to be honest, I only use the default because I'm too lazy to configure my school account on the hotmail app.
I have the same issue.
Rooted and Flashed my Amaze 4g Telus yesterday and now on ICS.
Can't click on any links in emails and that's very anoying since i have 3 email account link to the phone and have plenty of links in them.
Anything that could help to bring back that feature ?
It's a no go, thank apple for that.
I don't think that's the case cause i had ICS on my Desire HD just before that phone and the links where still there.
I figured it out you have to go into settings, then send & receive, and change the mail size limit. The default is at 5kb, which is only text. If you change it to maximum size it will even show pictures. You have to reset app after you change the size limit so it takes effect though.

Seems legit, can't test it though, for some reason all the mail in my school folder just disappeared, wtf?

Facebook?

I'm having several issues with FB, the biggest being after I look at "X" pictures (My man Club?) no pictures will open. I have to reboot the phone and it works for a minute, then same thing? It seems to me, each time a i open a photo/movie and I backout, it stays in memory until FB is usless?
Lastly, and not that I really give a crap, some of my ex-wife post I get, others I dont. The Only reason I mention, she will post pictures of Granddaughter. Friends of mine get them and call and tell me how cute she is. I dont get them. The she will post something else, I get it, so she did not defriend me? makes no sense!
I have version 1.9.6
Anyclue?
Anyone? 100 views and no replys, any thoughs would be appricated.
Don't know about the pictures and videos, but I know you can block specific people or groups from any post you make, so your ex could be choosing to block you on certain posts.

Not to be smart, trust me, she has no clue how. Matter fact, no one in that family nor mine (except me) could do that. Oh well............
More worried about my phone freezing after I open "X" amount of photos. I cleaned up text messages, e-mails, mobile photos today (Photos are on FB anyway). Maybe Photon will run better?
Use friendcaster. Much better than official fb app anyway.
Well, mystery #1 solved (I think), she (they) are not smart enough to defriend me and she swore off FB. But since my daughter loves it and so do her religious friends, they created secret goup just for them. Click on THAT group and post, only they see it. I guess now and then, she slips and just post on her main wall. If I go to her profile, I see ALL the post! That makes sense.
With the freezing, clueless. Since Feb 18th, 2012, I have not installed or updated one single app!

Friendcaster is nice; there's also Fast and Scope (Scope is invite only; install the app and then use invite code "theverge" to create an account) but none of the third-party Facebook apps can see your entire feed. There will always be some things that will not show up in third-party clients.
A more elegant solution I have found is to use Facebook on your mobile browser. It takes some tweaking to get the desktop site to display, but it can be done. Make sure you're accessing www.facebook.com and not just facebook.com; also setting the user agent to desktop can help as well.
Also, you can get the customizable Maxthon (google it, it lets you customize the name, icon, homepage, and other settings). Name it Facebook, give it a Facebook icon and splash screen, and set the homepage to Facebook, bam, you got a Facebook browser. The browser itself is very capable, and has the user agent feature if you want to use it for the desktop version.
It just helps to have options. The Facebook app has always been sub-par.
I use SEESMIC. It works surprisingly well. Works with twitter too, but I use tweetcaster for that.

When my phone starts messing up, it's the first app I delete. Works everytime! and the funny thing, I don't have the other apps you mention here and my auto-update is off for everything. FB just crashes the phone for no reason out of the blue. Always has!
Are you on stock? I'm running MIUI and mine crashes mostly when rotating the screen but sometimes for no reason at all.

I'm stock, but it seems not to matter as I was unlocked and running CM7. Sadly, the only people I know NOT having issues are the 4 iPhone users I know. If I were adding apps and/or doing auto updates, I would maybe understand. I'm not.
Facebook I'd a billion dollar company, producing crap apps. The problem I have with there app is that every update will make or break the functionality. On a side note, the reason handloom works so well on, iOS, is because they have a whooping 10+/- devices to support, versus the hundreds of android devices on various os software. Ie: eclair, froyo, gingerbread, ics, honeycomb, etc. So I can't hate the facebook android devs completely just hate the issues that come with updates!

Go SMS Pro....Gone Bad

I've been using Go Sms Pro since it first ce to Android. It was hands-down the best sms replacement in my opinion. The last two updates however have changed my opinion about it. They started pushing Ads like those annoying scam apps. The last one in particular made me uninstall it. It now places Ads on the bottom of the screen. I'm done with them.
Is there any app besides Handcent, Chomp, Texter that is a good pop up sms replacement. There are many apps on the market aand I've personally come across some awesome apps that wasn't on the top of the list of best apps. So is anyone has some suggestions on apps they use or come across, I'd appreciate it.

you can simply use ad blocker
it is not in play store as it is blocked by google https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
it is the same one you uses with Mozilla and llinux
