I have not found anything on this so excuse me if this is a repost of sorts.
I have Swiftkey installed on my phone but when the phone is in landscape mode and I am trying to send a message via text, there is no send key, it somehow just vanishes. But as soon as you turn the phone into portrait mode, it returns.
Suggestions?
Thanks
I dont use stock messaging or swiftkey but I do have the paid version and it does not seem to have a send button in stock messaging. I do have it in other messaging apps though.
paid version of swiftkey has it when using hangouts for sms...try hangouts to see if its there for you..
OP can try that. I prefer not to enable hangouts sms...

Why do you prefer to not enable it?

Because i dont want all my sms synced to google servers. And then who knows what will happen turning it off.
I am very strict with who gets what of my data...

How do you know enabling SMS on Hangouts Sync's your SMS'es with Google servers?

Ok. I dont want google digging into my texts (ie data mining)... backed up to their servers or not.
I doubt that any text,email, or other communication that we make via the internet or our providers' network is safe from interception/mining/reading if the "powers that be" decide that they want to see it..an unfortunate side effect of the hacker/NSA/security nightmare that we now live with on a daily basis..
Doesnt mean I need to feed it to them. Let them work for it if they want it.

Are there any apps for text messages?
I use Sync SMS. It requires a (free) Dropbox account but it works well.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Syncsms works well, in conjunction with dropbox. I don't yet see a way to send mms., which would be nice.
I use stock messaging and it works fine for sms and mms as well !

What stock messaging app would that be? I don't have one on mine.
I use TextPlus. You have to download it from Amazon Apps as it doesn't show up in the Market Place. I use the Wi-Fi only version of the Flyer....those with 3G get messaging I think. TextPlus is free and they supply you with a phone number.

I'm in US, so mine's a wi-fi only. I'd like to be able to send MMS, but get around it by using Syncsms for text and email for pictures.
hm.. that's why the application is missing from your device. can't help you....maybe a root access and some tweaks it will be possible, but, is hard to say that as long as have no idea if the hardware support this option

Serious, Text Plus. It's is what I am using. You can send pics. It is free. Amazon Apps. It is free.
Thanks guys these work great. I'm hoping to find a way to forward from my cell number. So far text plus works well. Still notifications are some what slow.
Google Voice works great on mine

Why wouldn't you just use GV?
Google voice works through email and can be repetitive especially if you have multiple devices.
Sent from my flyer.

Because I like sending MMS - like pictures and files through texting. Can't do that through GV. It is also available for my iTouch, so my texts are synced with all devices - Android or Apple.
So I use GrooveIP to make calls on my phone, and I've been using it on the tablet at home - problem is, I hate the way groove manages contacts (it doesnt really). The OTHER problem is that, beacuse I just have a wifi tab, my contacts app and google voice WONT let me dial contacts directly from those apps. Is there any way to make it so that my tablet recognizes groove IP as a phone and lets me dial from GV and the contacts app?
Anyone? =/
Skype? O-o
No, i mean like - the tab 10.1 doesn't recoginze calling as an action - you can't use "call" as a voice action, you cant click on numbers in the contacts app to call someone. I'm trying to find a way around that. >_>;

Currently that's a little challenging :\ I haven't figured a way around that apart from skype. There was a way to add a Phone.apk module that would allow it, but was still WIP

Thats what I figured needed to happen - has there been any progress on that? =/
Actually, to clarify a bit, the effect I'm going for:
In the contacts app included in the tab 10.1, when you open a contact and click on a phone number, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to click on a number and have the option to call it via GrooveIP. ANYTHING to have that kind of functionality would be nice.

Unfortunately GrooveIP hasn't added that feature to enable it as a default/optional choice, Like how when you have messaging, and you download GoSMS, it asks you which you prefer to use. Likewise GrooveIP has to offer that function, or it probably does? But the Phone.apk isn't detected hence it doesn't give the option?
I agree the option the OP speaks of would be nice.. I wote GrooveIP an email asking if this is possible from their end..
My phone is using my Google Voice number to send texts and make calls even though I'm quite sure I told it not to do this when I installed it. Any way to reverse this?
uninstall and then reinstall. it would be the easiest way to fix it. because i think you completed the google voice + sprint integration thing instead of skipping it and idk how to reverse it other than going into the google voice settings on your computer.
hope this helps

Disabling it online worked. I don't know why the app can't do that. Thanks!
Log onto Google voice from a computer. Go to settings. Uncheck "Recieve text messages on this phone" also make sure on your phone texts go to the "messaging app".
You should also be able to change your default phone number.
Yep, sounds like you ended up shifting your Google Voice to your phone.
You have to go into Google Voice via a browser to undo it.

So my question is when I go into the Hangouts app theres a contact in the "Frequently Contacted" but I have no idea who it is. I just want to remove it from my list but cant figure out how. I already cleared the data but its still there.
This is driving me nuts as well. I miss good old Google talk. Google seems to be getting way too "iphoney" lately.
+1, it seems that the only way to remove from the list is by blocking the person and then refreshing (sign out, sign in ) other than that I cannot find a way to remove
absolutely terrible
they need to fix this asap

Open gmail on your computer, then click on the person you like to block, then once the chat window opens click on settings (right top corner), then select block person and save.
No, blocking is not acceptable. I want to remove the "frequently contacted" list all together on my hangouts app in my phone.
I'm in total agreement, I want to be rid of the "Frequently Contacted" in my gmail, or at least be able deselect or hide it. Anyone have an idea?
I want this feature REMOVED
When an iPhone user "likes" a message in an sms or mms conversation, it shows up in the Android sms app as Liked "<text>." For example, if I text them "Your iPhone sucks and Android is way better," and they like it, I'll get a message that says Liked "Your iPhone sucks and Android is way better." Are there any Android sms apps that can recognize these replies and visualize them more like they were intended? For example, a thumbs up icon next to the original text?

Yes it does. But it also has the unfortunate flaw of being owned by Facebook.
