In Android Messages, there is no way to attach a file (photo, etc). Clicking on the + sign next to the message opens up stickers, without any other attachment option. The hamburger menu doesn't have any options.
If I trigger an SMS from any photo app, Messages shows the photo correctly. I just can't add a photo from within Messages.
All permissions are set for the app.
For reference, my text box looks like this:
[+] [ Type an SMS message] [smiley] [>SMS]
Anyone else have this problem?

It is cumbersome, but here's what you do L. :
1) Tap the + button. You should now see five icons just above your navigation bar. They represent in this order, : Stickers, Camera, Recent Photos, Microphone, and Location.
2) Press the third button which looks like miniature mountains. On the left, you should now see a large square with a centered mountain logo then your recent photos.
3) Tap the large square on the left that has the mountain logo and you should now see a file browser list.

Thank you for helping out this blind old man! I completely missed the icon bar. Forest for the trees, and all.

This icon is located to the left of the reply window in the conversations screen.
Most of the items allow you to add something to the conversation; picutres, audio, smiley, a slideshow, a video, etc.
There's one called "contact", which brings up your contacts list and lets you select one or more. What i'm unclear about is what exactly is being attached to the message? When I select a contact, and click menu, "end select", i'm return back to the message entry screen. So what does this quick action do?
I know you can use the trash can button while previewing the image you just took but after the preview period expires is what I'm referring to.
When your in the camera app and select the photo icon (bottom right) it takes you to your photos. While you are in this view there doesn't seem to be a way to delete images. When you hit the menu button in this view you have useful options like: vcast videos (not), set as, slideshow, select player, show on map and details.
Once the image has been saved it seem the only way to delete it is by opening the gallery app separately (5 or 6 button presses away).
It seems to be an oversight in my opinion.
Okay, I just discovered the error in my ways. A quick tap of the image while in this view will give you your options that menu key or long press would not. I'm a happier camper now.
Is there something I'm missing? Why does htc not include an sms window for the lockscreen?
Tried sms popup which worked on previous htc's, but with ics has some weird issues. Shows blank window, and once closed keeps opening other messages on lockscreen.
Go sms pro works fine, however the lockscreen window has such a small font, you can barely read it.
Handscent is an app that has mixed reviews.
What are some other options to display an sms window message on the lockscreen?
Go to Settings -> Customize and choose "Productivity" as your lock screen style.

And now that you have the answer, I'll answer what will most likely be your next question after you get it set up. The texts shown on the productivity lock screen only show the phone number, not the person's name (even if it's in your contacts). I'm guessing this is on purpose for privacy. EG: incoming text from your fling appearing by name on your locked phone in front of your wife/girlfriend/husband/partner/boyfriend. If you have multiple messages you can swipe them left and right to see multiples w/o unlocking the phone. To go directly to a specific message drag it to the unlock ring.
That's awesome, however the lock screen doesn't turn on. You have to grab the phone and awaken it. Seems pointless lol.
*Edit* Found what I was looking for!
Get SMS Wakeup from the market. You can use any lock screen option, even wallpaper. Then in the default sms preferences select show name and number on lock screen.
Very happy about this. No more third party sms apps necessary
Now the lock screen turns on, shows the name and number of the text message without having to grab the phone!
I would like to change the screen lock, so I could put shortcuts on it to music, camera etc.
Any recommended app?

I presume you mean the icons on the lock screen.
When on the sense home screen drag and drop icons in and out of the bar at the bottom

There is a REALLY cool feature I'd like to be able to utilize where the G4 pulls up your most recent contacts when you start to share something.
*see attached image* (names and numbers have been edited out for privacy reasons)
Only problem is, that even though my default messaging app is Next SMS if I select one of these recent contacts at the top. It still opens up "messaging" to send the message. Which actually is very limiting because it doesn't like not being default with MMS's.
Is there an easy way to change that behavior?
Thanks,

WhatsApp Web works on my HP ELITE X3 running latest w10m using Monument Browser.... syncs with WhatsApp running on another phone via Bluetooth (wife’s iPhone X in my case!)... mirrors content and most functionality.
Not tidy, best in landscape So, could run your own WhatsApp on a Android or iOS device and access it on w10m as long as the phones are Bluetooth linked.
Open w10m phone’s Monument browser.
Hit 3 dots to open Monument browser controls
Adjust ZOOM; @65% (may need to tinker depending on screen real estate of other phones).
Change SETTINGS:
NAVIGATION MODE; CHROME.
JAVASCRIPT; ENABLED.
Open new Monument browser tab.
Navigate to web.whatsapp.com and scannable barcode appears.
Tick KEEP ME SIGNED IN
Open Whatsapp on other phone.
Hit 3 dots to open Whatsapp controls.
Select WHATSAPP WEB.
Hit + PLUS button to open barcode scanner
Point barcode scanner at the WhatsApp barcode.
Barcode should be accepted and a progress bar appears. GIVE IT TIME!
Whatsapp messages will appear on Monument browser if all has gone well, and you can send and receive, but notifications not working.
**PIN working Monument Whatsapp web window to Home screen for easy access**
If progress bar seems to have stalled check Whatsapp – Whatsapp web on the phone to confirm connection has been made. If it has, PIN browser window to home screen as above. Close all tabs. Restart phone. Click pinned window and hopefully that will work after page load delay - which seems inescapable.
PS clicking enable desktop notifications doesn’t seem to do anything (perhaps unsurprisingly).
Hope this helps someone ?

I did the same steps that you described, but I still have a problem apart from notifications: I can't view images, they remain with a circular spinning without possibility to download, I only view the low level preview of the image...did I miss something in the configuration ? Thanks
If still the same after restart of both devices (try that!) maybe it's a quirk of your particular phone? Fine for me.
Having said that, I've found having to carry two devices just to use Whatsapp is a burden [duh!] and I've installed Unigram (which is a Telegram client) and turns out to be better than Whatsapp. As a bonus, half my contacts were on it already and those I wanted to stay in touch with a la Whatsapp happily installed it. Available on w10m (but will not be updated further) and desktop

Hi guys, I found out that in several apps that do not have support they have the possibility to work, you just have to install an old version app, I work with the instagram app, but the only bad thing is that it does not let me send messages but yes I can receive notifications, I am trying to find the old apps like instagram and trying to revive them, PD: the facebook messenger app does not work, but the facebook app I am trying to install old versions to see if it works, the bad thing is that it is very difficult to find the xap
