hilarious! i agree. why do you want the keyboard still up, if you have already sent the message?
honestly, i don't know how you would keep it up otherwise. everytime i've used any of the three i have installed (stock, modified IME, and swype) all drop down as soon as i'm done using the keyboard.
and tg for that. i want to see the screen if i don't have to type.

I want to have it still up because im having a conversation and am going to type another message shortly. My unlocked vogue running android didn't do it so that's just what i got used to, does anyone know if an app or something to keep it open

Hit the back button. It will leave your text in the input but wont send.

Maybe I'm stupid now...but why would you type out a text message and then not send it?

to save it as draft, and that's not what I want. I want to send it but not have to tap the input field to pull up the keyboard again.

I'm with you on this one. Having the keyboard disappear is annoying. There is no reason for it not to stay on the screen. It only adds an extra tap for no reason.
Coming from years with the iphone, and having the keyboard stay on the screen after you press the send button, I find the Android way annoying. Doesn't mean I won't adapt, it just annoys me.

If you want the keyboard to reappear, press and hold the menu button.

tapping the input field does the same thing, and it still goes away when I hit send.

i think you're in the minority here, which is why it's configured like it is. most people want it to go away after they send, because they're done with the keyboard at that point.
i haven't seen a setting to keep it from doing that. i suspect it can be written though. go put a request in in the application section

you could try swype i think in the videos the keyboard doesn't go away

Need help, Text Messaging Shortcuts.

Is there a keyboard shortcut or something similar where I'm able to send a message without actually pressing "send" on the display? Yes I know, the send button is only a few millimeters away from my finger tips but I'm to damn lazy and I like sending messages with speed lol. I believe I was able to do this on the Wing or the MDA, not quite sure... but yeah if you guys have some good input in how to send a message without using the damn "send" button on the display that would be killer. Thanks!

Sending Text message while receiving call

Hey,
i recently got a HTC Touch Pro 2 and i'm quite happy with it. Nice phone all in all. Just that when i receive a call while the phone is in my pocket it automatically presses the "send text message" button in the right bottom. This makes it send the message "I am busy right now i'll call u back later" blabla. Anyone knows how to turn this off?
I have looked around this forum, google and the phone itself but i can't find it anywhere..
Thanks!
Phone, Menu, Options, Advanced tab.
Uncheck "reject call with text message".
The button you are pressing is rejecting the call. It will keep doing this, just without sending a text.

Hm is there a way to fully disable the button? I prefer using the slide to refuse a call, not just press a button. Also i'm using the default HTC WM 6.5 rom..

Yeah it does, but the problem is i keep accidentally pressing the button in the bottom right. This making me refuse the call without wanting it.

[Q] How to get rid of the on-screen keyboard when in an email or text box

Sometimes when I'm typing on my Focus in an email, text or OneNote document, I want the onscreen keyboard to disappear so I can see the entire screen of text. Is there some way to make it disappear wihout closing out of the document entirely?
ummm hit the back key I would presume, works in the emulator for me(Getting my HD7 around December 7th)

Thanks for the responses. Neither had occurred to me.

[Q] How do I turn off text message vibrate?

Well, I am feeling stupid but every time I get a text it vibrates and to my knowledge I have vibrate turned off everywhere possible yet it doesn't seem to matter. I'm hoping there is not something wrong.
Is there somewhere I am not looking?
Go into messaging app, hit menu key, settings, scroll all the way down and uncheck vibration

[Q] Moto360, reply to text, vibrate notification

Hey all,
Please don't flame, I am just looking for help (and I did search, I just want to make sure I am reading the state of things correctly).
I got a Moto360, and I use a Gear Fit. Is there still no way (on an S5) to use a "quick reply" to a text? Using the stock app? It is so nice on the Fit to just swipe a pre-configured text reply. I can't seem to do that on the 360, and what I read indicates I have to use a third party app?? Seems backward, but do I have that right?
Also, I can't seem to get my 360 to vibrate when I get a notification (email or text). I'm sure this is just user error, but I can't find the setting.
Thanks
When you receive a text, swipe to the right until you see reply, then if the speech request comes up, tap the screen again to get the quick reply options.
Pull down from the main clock screen and you'll see the mute/unmute. You're probably muted. Muted in this device's case means vibrate/don't vibrate (there's no speaker).
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I tried it, and when I get to the speech request, there don't seem to be any other pages. I swipe all directions, and all I can do is go back. Do I need to configure it somewhere?
You say you're swiping in all directions. Just tap in the center. So to sum it up:
Recieve text message
Swipe to the left to read it
Swipe again to the left to Reply, then tap
When speech req box comes up, tap, and that should bring up the canned reply menu

Thanks for sticking with me. I admit to being daft. Unless you're having a laugh on me, I just can't see it. When I get a text, I open it, tap "reply", get the voice dictation screen, and...nothing. I swipe, tap, double tap, nothing opens any submenu and I never see any canned replies. Any idea what I'm missing??
I'm using an S5, if that matters...
EDIT: It must have something to do with the type of messaging app. The stock Samsung app acts weird; this one just lets you hit "reply", then it sends a blank text. Handsent SMS doesn't even give you a reply option. Textra allows you to reply and pops up the voice reply app. If there an app that has the canned responses? Or is it just a flat spot for Samsung?
My experiences:
~Stock messaging app on my Nexus 4: swipe left, no reply feature on watch, only "open on phone"
~Go SMS Pro: swipe left, no reply feature on watch...which is weird because it used to have it...I swear it did...
~Messenger (from Google): swipe left (shows full conversation thread), swipe left again, tap reply, start speaking when it shows "speak now"
So it would appear that different apps do function differently on the watch.
Ah, yes, it does depend on the app you're using. I'm using Google Hangouts.
Note- Google Hangouts, not Messenger.
So, for anyone that cares, your mileage will vary GREATLY depending on what messaging app you use. It's a little disappointing that a relatively "dumber" device like the Fit (which I bought for $79) works like a champ with replying to texts, and the "smart" watch is a little dumb with such a basic feature. I will give Hangouts a try, although I am not crazy about the looks of the UI.
Thanks guys, and if there are others apps that work well with SMS, please let me know.
When you go to reply screen with Google screen, swipe up to reveal canned texts.
Works with hangouts and messenger

This is the fault of the app makers, not Android Wear.

Be that as it may, and I'm sure it is, it still stinks.
So, if you're looking, the canned texts works with Hangouts and Messenger ONLY that I've found. Have you guys found a way to add custom canned text?

Sure. I just felt the distinction was important, as software issues get fixed or features added. Device design flaws don't.
There's an app called wear canned responses .. But your phone need to be rooted.. It uses xposed... Also xposed doesn't work on lollipop

Has anyone found any other apps that allow a text response OTHER than Hangouts?
