Enabling premium sms messages? - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I've searched and searched and cannot find where to enable premium sms messages on my new Moto z droid. I know where to do it on my old Samsung, but not on this new phone. Verizon's suggestion was to download another messaging app. Is that the answer? If so, sheesh!

[Q] SMS App?

Hi everybody,
does anybody know if it is possible to install a SMS client on the GT 10.1v? Being it a 3G Tablet it should be possible to activate the SMS messaging ... I had been using the same SIM-card in a Samsung Netbook where it was possible to write text messages. The tab didn't let me install GO SMS.
Thanks!
I've installed WhatsApp and it want to send a SMS message before it starts. When I enter a correct phonenumber, WhatsApp presents an error telling me that it's not possible to send an SMS.
It appears the current firmware doesn't support SMS/Phone operations. Perhaps a custom rom in the near future will solve this problem.
I've tried to use Go SMS & Go Dialer, but without any luck.
Google talk floating around xoom forum can send SMS but replies are going to my phone

I use sync SMS on my 10.1 wifi tab... install on tablet then on phone... must have a dropbox account. Works really good.

using dropbox seems like a poor way of doing it..
I just started on one myself that does it through bluetooth
that's also not a perfect way of doing it but it seems better than dropbox to me
then again, I have no idea if it will work through bluetooth. I literally just started on it yesterday so I basically have zero functionality so far.
I just saw that HTC Flyer on Android 2.4 does have an SMS App working. Couldn't we just rip the app of the Flyer and install on the GT?
How could we get the messaging (SMS) app from the Flyer to try?
My GO SMS works nicely!

Sorry if I am being dumb - you got GoSMS working on a 10.1V? How comes? I have in the meantime only managed to get it installed. But - as predicted - it would not send any SMS.
I can send SMS using the messaging function in the message app.
textab is the best sms app out there in my opinion. unless your trying have a set number to the tab and text from it.
Sign up for a Google Voice number for free. ( google.com/voice ) Make sure you go through the settings and don't have it forward texted to your current cell phone number but just to the email address used to sign up.
Use the Google Voice App from the market or the one already preinstalled on the Tab. Log in using your Google Voice account and start texting using your new Google Voice phone number to any cell phone number.
DeskSMS is the ONLY way to go for SMS from a tablet, desktop, or web interface. Doesn't require an active bluetooth connection or Dropbox. It just forwards all my SMS to my Google Talk account, and I can reply directly within Google Talk on my Tablet or Trillian on my PC.
Google voice now supports tablets. I use it all the time to text from the tab.

[Q] Final answer to group texting

Hello everyone,
I recently wanted to group text with people with iphones and one blackberry and needless to say it was a disaster. I have tried both the stock messaging app and SMS go, and both fail miserably when receiving and sending texts that are in a group thread, I receive them all separately and send them all separately. Is there an app to do this?
I have a LG Nitro HD on ATT.
And yes i have tried Google and searching the forums only to find people not coming up with an answer.
Thank you so much for your help
Does your phone have an SMS mode? I know mine does. Also if it doesnt try Slate Droid forums or Android Central. Hope this helps!
What do you mean SMS mode?
bump, does no one know the answer???
I think textplus offers free group texting

I would suggest checking out Kik messenger. I haven't researched the group messaging apps in a few months, but I know Kik was always pretty good about speedy receipt of messages, and it looks like it is back on Blackberry too (it had been removed from AppWorld for a bit). Kik will also allow you to send pictures. There may be another solution or two that would also solve your problem, so search around for apps similar to kik.
Hope that helps.

[Q] JB Google MMS not threading

I'm currently using the Omega 26.1 build and love it.
The only thing is I hate the Samsung text/MMS app and wanted to replace it with the standard Google app now that Indie has released the JBKitchen app.
When I remove then replace the Samsung app texts from contacts aren't threading. My replies show in the individual messages but the replies from the contact come through as a new thread. If I switch back to the Samsung app they are all threaded as you would expect. This issue didn't happen when I was using the ICS rom as I could replace the app fine.
I've tried searching for this problem and although similar issues come up a fix doesn't seem to be evident.
Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it?

Group MMS patch?

Hey guys, as most of you know, the stock messaging app doesn't automatically send group messages to multiple recipients as MMS, resulting in the same message being sent to everyone individually. From what I hear, this has been fixed in android 4.2 - allowing for threaded messages.
I know this has been talked about in multiple other forums, but is there a way to enable automatically sending group texts as MMS on our phone using the stock messages app? I think there are fixes for other phones but I haven't seen one for the HOX+. I know third party apps like Go SMS and handcent can do this but I was wondering if it'd be possible with the stock app.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Group MMS (Stock Messaging App), Xperia Z2

Hello all,
I recently picked up my Xperia Z2, however I seem to not be able to find any setting to make a group MMS. I had an Lumia 920 and Iphone 5s prior that did this with no problem, however the Xperia Z2 seems to have no option for this. The MMS thread does not seem to be self contained.
Any advice?
would have to go to the hangouts app?
Thanks

Thanks for posting this! I was curious about it as I despise group MMS. IMO it's the over-used annoying equivalent of "Reply All" in Outlook. Most 3rd party apps have the ability to do it (or not) if you so choose though.
Is' t the same like in Z1

Did you find the solution to this problem? My new Z2 does not like Group messages for some reasons. Any help would be awesome and YES i do know I am bringing back an old post. Just throw me a bone please
I wish the stock app would do group texting too. The odd thing is that if you have a third party app with group texting enabled the stock app will keep the group messages intact in the background.
I agree. It is drivimg me crazy and the only complaint I have with the phone.
