Galaxy S5 :: Sending Text To Multiple Contacts?
Apr 23, 2015
I have just updated my s5 to the latest android version 5.0.2 ... When I go into messages and click the green circle in bottom right hand corner and the next screen is where you enter recipients and your message, i start by typing the 1st person i wish to add and his name comes up and i add him to the recipient list thats all fine but i cant find a button or anything to add another contact?? the only way is to delete the number of the recipient that pops up under his name and start over again! i have never come across this in any phone in the last 5 years and even this phone before the update?

I switched over from the iPhone 4s at the beginning of May and I am really enjoying the S5. However, I am still having one annoyance and that is with sending multiple pictures to others via text. On ios it was a matter of just choosing which photos I wanted to send and then pressing the send button. It did not matter if it was one photo or 15 photos. However, with my S5 I only can send 2 maybe 3 pictures at a time before I have to back in my gallery and load more.

I'm probably old fashioned, but there are stuff I just prefer doing from my PC, rather than from my mobile.I read that Samsung Kies no longer works with the S6 (Replaced by Smart Switch), but i'm wondering if there's a 3rd party software that lets me control my S6 from a Desktop PC ? The feature i'm basically looking for is Sending SMS to multiple contacts/numbers.

I've noticed that some times when I get text messages from certain contacts, the way it shows up on my informs me that it was sent to myself and X amount of people (and I can view those numbers/contacts if I have them). But what's annoying is when I try to reply to "said person" it replies to all contacts that recieve the message. Now if I hold down the message and get options, I can view the details and open the message/delete the message, and I can Reply to All... but it never lets me just reply to that person. There is no option for it. I just reply and they all get it.
Like I stated before, this is not every time I get a mass text message from someone. Some of my friends have iPhone 4s so I tested it last night with a friend sending out a text to two of us and when I received it there was no indication that it had been sent to multiple people. Also have another friend that does this a lot with his Droid 2, no issue with his either. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the way it's being sent to me (and others) but even if I can see who else it was sent to, I'd still like the option to just reply to one person.Any advice on this? I foresee people telling me to get another text messaging app though which makes me think AT&T/Motorola should really add a lot more features to their text messaging app just incase of the people that would like options..

I've been wandering why I've been getting charged for sending MMS messages until now, when I was just about to send a text to two friends and it was going to convert it to MMS. I'm using Google messenger to send texts. Can message to multiple recipients send by SMS?

I did send someone I know a text (one) yet as confirmed on my bill a text was sent from my phone to that number as well as seven other people that I do not their names or numbers at the exact same time to the minute. I found this out when a bunch of strangers started calling my phone asking for me by name... How could this have been sent to the other seven people? Did the one person HAVE to forward it to them? (I know he knows at least one of the receipts) Is there a way for someone to hack into my or their phone?

I already tried to update my Elm (j10i2) software and it already said it has already the latest software update. My problem is that I cant erase the contact after I texted them. Just giving me the option to mark it. And not the delete option. Is this a software bug that is being fixed right now?

When checking the online tutorial via AT&T's website it walks me through how to send a text message to someone in my contacts list from the text messaging screen. Once I start typing their name, it should start to automatically come up. When I try to do this on the phone, it won't do it. Do I really have to enter someone's phone number in order to do this? What if I want to add more than one person which is not an easy task either. I found where people are being told to download an app called Handcent SMS which will resolve the multiple people issue but what about accessing my contacts just by starting to type their name in the "To" line?

When selecting a contact to send a message to, the drop down list auto fills with some of my contacts which start with the letters I am keying in, but it does not auto fill with all the relevant contacts, missing out most of the contacts which start with the letter or name I am keying in? E.g if I was sending to a contact called "Paul" Keying in "P" would only bring up a few of the contacts I have starting with "Paul" but no all of them Even if I continue to key in the full name the auto fill does not seem to find the exact same name which is in my contacts Is there any way to turn off this auto fill so you can manually select the contacts I wish to sent the message to?

I sent a text message to 10 people, but want to see who I sent it to. How do I get to see all the names?I can press and hold on the message to bring up a window that shows some of the names, but not all. I can press on the message to go into the message and that, again, only shows some of the names.even on landscape it wont show all.Under options there is nothing to show who you sent the message to.Under view message details, nothing again. (Press and hold on message to bring up option)

When I sync my Outlook (2010) contacts through Kies (v2.3.0.12035_16), my SGS2 ends up with multiple entries for almost all of my contacts; some might have three, some two, some even four entries for the one person.Each entry has different information. Some of theseduplicate / triplicate contacts have old information. All of them (except the original for each contact on my phone) are missing the contact picture.ome of the contacts that are synce'd to my phone no longer exist in my Outlook. Eg. I deleted Aerial Taxis from my Outlook contacts and replaced it with Elite Cabs, however after deleting all my contacts from my phone and syncing through Kies, I have two Aerial taxis entries in my phone and none in outlook. It seems Kies has created it's own cache of contacts that it thinks it needs to sync andcontinually syns them regardless of what I do to Outlook or my phone.I have disabled syncing through my GMail account for contacts. I even deleted all the contacts from my GMail account (in preparation to import them from a CSV export from Outlook). have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies. Checked, the folloowing folders were removed: C:Program Files (x86)SamsungKies C:ProgramDataSamsungI even deleted the UserAppData olders:C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingSamsungKiesC:UsersusernameAppDataLocalSamsungIt continues to add the same contacts everytime it syncs, even after uninstalling and removing all the folders.

For some reason, and this happened on my S4 as well, when I'm listening to music through headphones or an aux cable, it cuts off for a second. Now, this doesn't happen with other phones I've played with (iP6, LGG4), so why it happens with Samsung's phones?

If I am listening to music and send a text it will stop the music for a second or so, then start playback up through the speakers then switch back to the headphones.
Now if I am having a conversation with someone via text this is quite irritating as sat on the bus and every so often my phone just plays music quite loud for a second before going silent.
I use poweramp and have tried the audio focus options there but I never had this issue on my older s4 with poweramp also. I am having to resort to just not listening to music at all.

I am using CHOMP SMS app for my texting. Yesterday I sent a text to Joe, Bob, Jim. Just like that in the TO block. When they sent replys they all got each others reply to read. I didn't want that. That is whey I sent it the way that I did instead of sending it as a GROUP message. Is there a setting in CHOMP or the regular app to make it so everyone does not see each others replys?

I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

I'm using a Curve 8530 on Verizon. When on OWA, if I forward or start a new email message, it will send 9-10 duplicated messages to the recipient. This doesn't happen when replying, just on new and forwarded messages.
