Group messaging - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi
On my HTC I was able to send group text messages to just mobile numbers that i had setup in gmail but on the xperia T it sends it all numbers associated with that contact. So my group of 58 ppl becomes 93 numbers. Is that an xperia T problem or my custom ROM.
Thanks

ok, I am on that rom and i dont have any groups set up, i will test it tomorrow and let you know

Just downloaded from play store group text, and it had an option to show mobile numbers only, and no limit to number of recipients u can send to so, got there in the end but HTC did it as standard just thought xperia could do it too.
Thanks for looking into this. Would like the stock apps to do this.

i have just set up a group to test it and when i goto the group and choose send group message it gives me a list of numbers to choose for each member in the group.
There is also an option to "remember the selection" so next time it will just pick that number....
So it does work in stock message app...

I had this problem and discovered the solution was two fold. Firstly I have to make sure I add a subject to my text and that it has no punctuation in it. If it still fails it's often because the image is too large. This usually occurs when I send from the gallery instead of creating the text and then adding the photo from within the text app. I also often have more luck with go messenger than the stock app. I'm still on the stock gingerbread ROM with O2. Hopefully this may help someone!

[Q] Send contact via sms

How do I send a contact via sms
Usually I click and hold on a number and there should be a copy option
As I understand. Not everyone can recieve a VCARD?
Go to People.Find contact you want to send,open it and click options-there is option SEND CONTACT and that's it.
Tried sending to my wife's iphone
She never got the sms
I guess it's because iPhone cannot receive the format it's sending in?
I just want to send the text in an sms
I cannot believe this simple feature doesn't exist
It works for me but i use go sms pro, lets u send it in sms format.

Iphone or not, it's not cross platform
Therefore it's bad design
I'm a software dev, i don't say that ie10 isn't standards compliant therefore I won't develop sites for it
No, a good system will be cross platform, particularly when iOS has a huge chunk of the market
I'm basically going to have to ask everyone if they have an iphone or not
A simple copy option is all that is required (I could be writing a word document and need to copy and paste)
Anyway, pointless rant as you don't work for google, but thanks for contributing
I installed that messaging app but it defaults to the HTC message app when I try and send the contact

[Q] Phonetic names

Is it just me or there is no option of phonetic names in the contact app in sp 4.1.. whereas it is a fucntion of android 4.1..?? any solution?
any body?
Not sure what you mean phonetic names?
When in contacts I can see down the right hand side letters and if chosen will take you to that letter.
Or if in dialler I can spell name and it shows what numbers or named are linked..
Don't think this is what you mean but could you explain a bit more what it is you can't do.

phonetic names are assigned to the contacts for voice recognition simplicity. All names are not english and google voice recognizer often missspells the contact name. phonetic names allow you to record the name in your voice to easily call the contact or send a text message to it through google now. Its a feature of android 4.1 but I can't find it in any of the sony phones that i have used. follow the above link
I have tried sending the Google contacts app to my Sp but I get a parsing error.
Would another contacts,dialler work.....never really used voice dialing

its basically useful when using google now, in calling and send messages through it. but google now doesnt recognize names other than english or the given language.. phonetic names allow it to recognize it in your own voice.. but cant find it in my phone
I have just tried whitemamba aio pack and in this is the people app which allows phonetic names maybe this will help you.

Okay I will try.. But still curious that why did Sony removed this feature of Google now.. Odd

Mass mailing

On my HTC One I have a group with 218 contacts in it. I am using the stock app. I really like it and don't want to change, because it allows me to import group to bcc.
The email will not send. It tries to but says it can't send.
I can do it from my computer, and smaller groups (like 20) send fine.
Any thoughts from the experts?

Its prob a restriction of like 100 people or something close to that. The desktop Outlook client for Windows only allows, I believe, 150 recipients per email so I would imagine the restriction on the HTC app is prob similar. You will most likely have to break that large group into like 2 or 3 smaller groups instead.
Thank you

Blocking a number.

Hi.
I have a stock Xperia Z and there is a number I wish to block. I can't find a built in block feature in the phone app.
Can someone help me how to block a number please??
Thankyou

The best you can do with the stock phone app is to send their call to voicemail.
When adding or editing a contact, there is an option at the bottom of the page to check 'Send calls directly to voicemail'.
I wish there was a proper blacklist function personally, like on my wife's S3. She can block numbers not in her contacts and use wildcards etc to do so.

You can assign to that number a muted sound file (search at Google) . It won't block it but you won't listen to it.
