    A pretty basic question: how do I forward that I have received a message to someone else? I can’t see how to do it on the S4. Am I missing something obvious?

      Long press the message body, the message options should pop out and you can forward messages then.

        Videos will be sent through mms, for which your carrier may impose some limitations. For short videos, s4 will automatically resize it. If the video is long, you probably have no way to send it through mms.

    Question: with other phones, I have grown used to seeing lists of messages received and messages sent. How can I organise my messages in this way on the S4? As it is, I cannot even differentiate them – they’re just in a long list with the contact’s name. Am I missing something obvious?

      This is purposely designed (thread). You can change the bubbles to identify which is received, and which is sent.

      If you send photos through messaging (the native messaging app), they should be re-sized (compressed) automatically. Are you using some other messaging apps?

      Long tapping the message until the menu pops out. You can then delete.

      Tap the recipient icon, then you can select group, and select all, to send the message to the group. You manually select the recipients as well.

      it will be sent as two or more messages. For most carriers, the multi-part message will be merged into single message. This is transparent to both sender and recipients.

    Hi
    I have been sending an ordinary sms and then suddenly without me changing any settings nor adding photo or other attachment my Message was sent as a MMS. The receiver obviously was not capable of receiving MMS and did not get the Message. Where do I choose if I want to send a Message as sms or mms?

    • simon says

      Open messaging, tap menu (left) button, select settings. Under mms settings, you can enable MMS alert. (You can also change creation mode to warning.)

And while applying some application a messages comes” Unfortunately Samsung s4 not working”, that means some softwares has damages or lost?

          it is probably a hardware issue if factory reset does not solve the issue. As your S4 should be still under warranty, you can ask the technician in local Samsung service centre to do some tests. They can act accordingly then.

      It depends. Samsung service centre in different locations may have different policy/procedure.

      But because your phone should be under warranty, they should fix the problems or replace one, depending on the problems identified.

      No, for privacy and cost reasons, almost all carriers block such activities.

      You carrier can provide a delivery report.

      Of course, some non-conventional sms services may provide such info (whether the info is read). Of course, the recipient must use the same service.

      Open messaging, tap menu key, go to Settings-display, check use the volume key.

      Once the use the volume key is checked, you can use Volume up to make the text larger; volume down to make the text smaller.

      Please note this works only when a message or a thread is open.

    Hi I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy s4. I sent text messages to a group of friends but unfortunately the text turned into MMS. How to prevent this from happening?

      in Messaging app settings, enable “MMS Alert”. Whenever the S4 tries to send as MMS, you can change it back to sms. Next time, it should be in sms mode.

      Once the message is locked, it will not be deleted when you try to delete the thread. You need additional confirmation if you want to delete it.

    Hi
    When i type a message in the ordinary message box…it sometimes goes to people via viber…then when they text me back ..it comes back via viber(PEOPLE ARE MISSING MY MESSAGES AND VICE VERSA).

    I dont really use viber except I need it or keeping in touch with a couple of people . I also use whatsaap but dont seem to have a problem with that.
    How can i get my phone to default to ordinary messages?

    Reply
    • simon says

      February 6, 2014 at 12:33 am

      It is very likely caused by the recipient, not you. The recipient very likely set Vibre as the default SMS app. You probably cannot do much on this.

      You can turn off the sound notification for messages (settings–device–sound).

      But you cannot just turn it off when there is a phone call. In other words, once the sound notification is disabled, it is always disabled.

      This is the hard-limit in Samsung’s messaging app. it does not allow you to have more than 10 recipients. Samsung also removed the group messaging option in S4.

      You may use group messaging in Hangouts or WhatsApp.

      Please note, some carriers may impose other limitations.

      In your messaging app (not hangouts), you should have the option to check and uncheck group messaging. If you cannot find it, it means this feature is not available in your region.

      Please note, the recipients who reply must enable group messaging as well. By default, group meaning is enabled on most phones.

    Question: I’m in an SMS messaging conversation. I hit the home key. A new message from a different contact completely unrelated is received. I go back to messaging and it takes me to my previous SMS conversation. This is default. There is no option that I can see in the app to change this behavior. Unless, I close the messaging app. But I don’t want to do this, it’s too time consuming. Any ideas?

    Reply
    • simon says

      May 4, 2014 at 3:15 am

      As I understand, this is exactly the normal behavior.

      When you press home button, the app actually is still running in background, and keeps the last state (before you press home button). Once you tap a new notification message, if it should use the messaging app, the messaging app will be simply move to foreground with the old state. I think both Samsung messaging app and Google Hangouts work in this way. There is no settings to change the app so that it will open the new message.

      There is a valid reason for this. For example, if you are composing a message, you will appreciate this design.
