Samsung Flow Not Sending Text Messages - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hoping someone can help. I successfully installed Samsung Flow software/drivers and paired with my brand new and updated unlocked S8. Notifications and texts come through just fine. However, for whatever reasons, when I reply to a text message through the Flow desktop app, the desktop app shows the message as sent but it actually never sends.
I have tested with texting between this S8 (T-Mobile SIM) and a Verizon phone and another T-Mobile phone and using two different Win10 laptops. Same result, any text message sent using the Samsung Flow desktop app never reaches the recipient. If I send the text from the S8 itself, it gets delivered to the recipient, no problem.
I have verified the android app has all the necessary permissions enabled on the phone side (including SMS) but still, text messages are still not being delivered when sent through the desktop app (Google's Android Messages app is my SMS client). Dismissing notifications through the desktop app also syncs it to the phone, enabling hotspot through the desktop app works fine, but again, its just the text messages seemingly not being sent. These unsent texts don't appear in the android SMS app either as unsent (they are not present in the SMS client app in any form at all). Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Q] Odd SMS Behavior

Hi all,
I work with a guy who has a Droid 2 and every time he sends a text message, it shows a failed delivery icon in the notification bar and says "2 Text messages not sent." When clicked, it just takes him back to the inbox. However, the message that is sent does reach its recipient (my Dinc for testing purposes).
He is not rooted, and he's running the stock messaging app (for all intents and purposes, he does not "use" his Android the way we do, it's a work phone).
Any thoughts on why it's doing this?
EDIT: For what it's worth, he does not have any "drafts" in his Messages that could be causing this issue.
EDIT 2: This has been corrected. There were unsent messages that the stock messaging app was not showing. Upon downloading Handcent, said messages were made visible and were removed.

[Q] Message Inbox shows duplicates / missing messages

I've recently installed Android on my HD2 and I absolutely love it. The one thing that isn't working 100% is the SMS inbox. Some messages appear 3-4 times and some are nowhere to be seen. Those are SMS I sent and received after installing so it's not a dodgy import. I'm using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you talking about SMS or message in box of your xda account or your google mail inbox account? You don't call a text message as message inbox. Anything with message inbox that's an email. SMS is to use texting to send to another phone. MMS is to use picture or a short video clip to send to another phone.
My bad. In my own little world messages are SMS. Yesterday's SMS all seem to have been stored correctly. Maybe it was a one off. If anybody has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

I can recommend using GO SMS Pro as opposed to the stock one,much better.
I've played around some more and installed Go SMS Pro, which is pretty cool. The problem with wrong SMS display persists though.
I think it's when I send SMS via the voice command of the google bar, they don't get stored correctly when I look at them in the history. For example I just sent a message via voice command but the content of the messages in Go SMS is wrong. It shows up with the same message text as the previous SMS I sent, or not at all. I haven't found anything on the problem anywhere. Does anybody have any Suggestions?

[Q] Samsung Gear Live won't send text?

I got the Samsung Gear at IO (yea) and have been going through the user adjustment phase, happily have pretty much everything working (I use a Galaxy Nexus as the phone stock. I receive text and I can send emails (from the watch) but for some reason I can't send text from the watch. It says it is sent, goes through all the motions, asks for recipient, clarifies to send to the mobile number and gets the text via voice and then says it is sending and gives a success green check, but the message is lost does not show on phone hangout or messaging log, nor does the recipient get it.. Anyone have any ideas?? or is my problem unique to me?
Hidden choice message on Phone for sending text
Finally found my "missing texts.. when I was sending, the phone was opening a choice dialog to choose between Google voice or messaging, I chose messaging and checked always and all is now working, buy the way retweeting to twitter using the bunting app has a similar issue, it opens the native vs edit retweet chice, which cannot be set to default one way so you need to pull the phone out...

[Q] Email to Text call log

I recently switched from a Motorola android phone on Verizon to an S5 on AT&T
I spent many hours with AT&T and Samsung phone support over the weekend trying to get to the bottom of a problem I am having -
When the phone receives a text via email. Instead of appearing in the text logs as the FROM email address, it uses some id that is associated with a server somehow. The first text via email I received is showing the caller as 1210100001 and it increments from there. After having received many more texts via email I am now up to 1210100031. When I receive messages from AT&T, I see IDs of different lengths but I don't care about those.
When you receive a text via email the first thing you see in the message is "FRM: [email protected] but in the log it shows up as 12101000xx
On my Motorola/Verizon/Android the FROM email address appears in the log as the sender and more importantly emails from the same address are all grouped together. As a matter of fact I backed up the SMS from that phone and imported it into the S5. I can go back in my history and see the texts grouped by sender so that you can scroll through and see all your conversations on one screen. On the S5 I can only see one text at a time. No grouping of any kind.
AT&T says the problem is with Samsung. Samsung says that's how it works period and I should go back to Motorola (shocking).
I downloaded a third party SMS app but find the same thing in the log. Shouldn't all android phones work the same in regards to this?
Is there a way I can get it to work the way it did on Motorola? I am rooted now. Will a custom ROM correct the problem?
OK I guess this is a difference between AT&T sms gateway and Verizon SMS gateway.
My big problem is not being able to see all the email texts in one scrollable screen in chronological order.
Anybody know how I could view all message logs from sender 12010100xxx in one long scrollable view in chronological order?

Android Messages SMS Blocking does not work.

Hello,
When i block a sms, it removes it from my home screen of the android messages app(archives it), but future messages still keep on showing on the
home screen. What does the app do for blocking then? I dont get the point of blocking a sms contact.
Anyone having same issue? Any solution?
Note: I have faced this issue on other devices too, so this is definitely app issue.
Use different app e.g. Microsoft SMS Organizer
I also faced the same problem. The default app doesn't work as expected for me.
SMS organizer has categorization of SMSs e.g. personal, transaction and promotional. Promotional sms are not notified to me unlike the other category, so conveniently I don't have to block.
