Hi all,
Does anyone know how to forward a message using the native gmail app on android to a group of contacts already established on gmail? I often need to forward an email to a group of employees but have found no way to do it other than logging on to gmail on the computer which isn't very efficient. I've searched quite extensively but have found no solution. It seems hard to believe - anyone know how to do it, or know of a third party app that works with gmail to do so? I'd really appreciate any response!

Well I don't know about a group. But you can add as many as you like. Just tested a mass Email to 35 people. Just open up the message. On the right hand side towards the top you'll see a star, an arrow facing left, and a triangle facing left. Press the triangle and a menu will pop up Reply, Reply All, and Foward. Then when box pops up for send to just add as many Contacts as you'd like.
Yes, that works, thanks, but then I'd have to memorize the names or emails of everyone in my group which isn't my strong point (especially for groups with lots of members)....

A backwards way of doing this, I figured out, is to copy the message text you want to forward to a group and then go into a program like Go Contacts, select the group you want, click email all, then paste the text into the email body. A bit cumbersome bit the only solution I can find. Anyone else have any other more straightforward solution? I can't believe the gmail app wont allow for this.

Has anyone tried Contact Lookup Pro for contact searching (particularly for groups) and then bulk emailing?

I use Group Contact Manager Pro application. It has option "Copy all email addresses to clipboard." which make possible to paste all group addresses into forwarded email. Maybe it is not perfect solution but at least it is a real forward displaying as such in gmail.
I have searched everywhere for this and can't find anything so hopefully someone can help.
When I get a text message often it comes through 2 or 3 times. I am using the stock text message program. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It is driving me crazy!
Has to be a tmo thing because I get doubles sometimes, or out of order and I use handcent.

Just got my Amaze yesterday and I've had this issue today as well. Was using my MyTouch 4G yesterday without the problem.

I get this too on O2 (uk) so must be an Amaze thing! lol
Never had it before the Amaze..
possible fix
I had this problem too. What I did was delete all contact duplicates that are in the phone and sim card. So only Google and Facebook should be left to handle contacts.
I had it before on my g2x also.

Please tell me how to do this. When I go to my contact list it only shows one entry but if I want to add someone to favorites it shows 2 or more sometimes. I can't edit them from here though. I REALLY hate that the phone stores them all over. I want ONE google contact list and nothing else. I think it is Facebook causing this. I don't want any Facebook stuff in my contact list. If you can help me delete all the extras I would love it. I have no sim card contacts and no Facebook should show. Thanks!

I discovered that I could select which contacts to use in the Contacts app. So I only show the ones on the phone. However, I did not get multiple SMS even when I had all contacts showing, so I don't know why yours would do that.
EDIT: The main gripe I have is that it automatically selects the contacts picture if they have a facebook profile picture. But it isn't that big a deal.

If you don't want any FB contacts to show removed your FB account under settings>accounts and sync>FB for HTC Sense>remove account
Here is the kicker, I only get dupes with one person, and that person is not even saved to my contacts. This has happened to this phone and my g2x, can anyone explain that?

I'm getting the same issues but it's only happening in the last week or so.
The same thing happens to me just about every single day. It pisses me off. I get about 2 or 3 texts from the same person. The sound on my phone sounds like it's having a seizure because it's not suspecting a rapid fire of texts. Why, why, why? If someone knows the answer, feel free to chime in. I use the stock sms app and have uninstalled google voice, but that didn't help.
I get em too..but only MMS

Happens to me constantly, usually when I'm connected to wifi at home. I'm currently using Quik sense, but i doubt its the ROM.

It's not a Rom issue, I'm not even rooted. I still think it's a tmo issue.

It only seems to be happening on the Amaze though. I called t-mobile cs who pushed me through to tech supp. They couldn't figure it out either.

I wonder if it's a 2G/4G thing. I have it happen from time to time but it usually happens when I'm in an area with spotty 4G so the phone is toggling back and forth between 2G and 4G. I've had them come immediately together and then also within about 30 seconds of each other so it looks like it might be signal related? I guess the way to find out would be to force the phone to 2G only or 4G only and see if it goes away.
For those of you looking to clean up your contacts list. you can hit menu > view > and uncheck all of the things you don't want to show. I for example only show 'my contacts' and 'favorites' from google, and dont show facebook at all. That way only contacts i have on my phone on purpose that are linked to facebook will show, otherwise the extra 500+ people aren't in there. also, theres a setting on gmail if you go to your contacts page > settings > create contacts for auto-complete> and pick 'I'll add contacts myself'. This makes it so any time you email a new address or get a new email it doesn't just store the email address to your phone and gmail account. Really cuts down on clutter.

It's definitely a phone/ROM issue. As I've said before I'm on O2 (UK) and never had this problem before.
I've cleaned my contacts up as suggested and haven't had a problem in 1/2 a week..
It could be a radio ROM problem.. new 4G chip-set, new kernel,, maybe the phone isn't telling the network properly it has received the message and it is being resent?
Anyone use Blue Mail as their mail app? Seems relatively new with only 10,000+ downloads, but has 4/5 stars in ratings. I dont want to use Maildroid with Ads and need support for Office 365/Gmail at the same time. It seems there arent very many apps other than the default mail app and Maildroid that support both simultaneously.

I use Blue Mail and I love it. However, I have an issue. Maybe I'm getting dumb in my old age, but I can't figure how to switch between different email providors. Any help?

I've sorted it out.
As the title suggests, I just discovered tonight after almost 2 weeks of having the Z3TC, I can't reply to group messages in the stock messaging app. When I respond to a message, it goes out individually to everyone and they hate me for not staying in the conversation. Any workaround or solution?
I heard and scoured the web, and basically I just read I need to download and use a different messaging app. This is unbelievable. It's almost 2015 and this tablet didn't come stock with this?
It's not a deal breaker for me, but darn, it is really annoying and gets my Z3TC made fun of. If I have to resort to a 3rd party app, anyone have any particular preference and why?
Many thanks.
Use the new Google messenger app or hangouts instead. The new Google Messenger app will probably become the new stock SMS app and it works great.

I am sick of the messenger app that always tells when I'm online and even if I try to appear offline it says online from one minute
I feel like there is a camera inside my house and people are always watching and knowing what I am doing
Is there a mod Facebook app that makes me able to text without using the Messenger app so I can text people only when I want to? I don't want a temporary solution please.
Thank you.
