I'm using this ROM:
Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3 [2.03] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
and here is the problem I'm having:
1. I'm in my sms inbox viewing the lists of conversation threads with my contacts;
2. A new message arrives;
3. I click on the message and it takes me into the conversation and highlights the new message automatically and mark it as Read.
4. When I try to reply the message by clicking on the blank box below it, it attempts to let me compose the message and brings up my input keyboard, but it disappears after less than a second and goes back to highlight the message.
5. I then have to exit the conversation and click on the message again to be able to type again.
========================================
The way I can get to reply directly is this:
1. I'm at the standby TF3D screen.
2. A new message arrives;
3. I scroll to the tab of sms, wait for about a second (so the system marks it as read), click on the message to enter the conversation.
4. then I can type directly since it does not highlight the message any more.
So the problem is: how do I make it so that after it highlights the message automatically I can still type in the reply box?
Thanks in advance!!
I am looking for a very simple application for hands free SMS. I have tried Vlingo and Hands Free SMS but they require way too much interaction to send a reply.
Does anyone know of an application that can read an incoming SMS message and then start listening for a reply? Once it hears a reply, it sends it...
I still haven't found a simplified hands free application. They all seem to have lengthy dialog that takes way too long to use.
Here is an example of the dialog for Hands Free SMS:
“Do you want to listen to the message again? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to reply to this message? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’ to quit.”
“Please speak what you want to reply.”
“Do you want to speak more to enter more text? Say ‘yes’ or say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to proof read the SMS message before sending? Say ‘yes’ or
say ‘no’.”
“Do you want to send the SMS message now? Say ‘yes or say ‘no’ or say
‘clear’ to start again.”
What I am looking for:
After reading incoming message: "Listening for reply..." (3 second timer - if no response, cancel)
"Sending reply ... (read reply) Say Stop to try again or wait to send." (3 second timer)
"Reply sent..."
***12/15/2017*** The method below has been replaced with the following improved method: Text Messaging with Google Home and AutoVoice
**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing this profile you will be able to say "OK Google, text <name of any contact or a ph#>" followed by "message" then <the body of your message>.
Video Demo - 1
Video Demo - 2
Part 1.
1. Download and install the Tasker, AutoContacts BETA and Pushover apps. Also download the Send_Message.prf.xml (you will make use of this file in Part 3).
2. Open AutoContacts, grant all permissions and allow it to load your contacts (I recommend that you upgrade to the full, paid version or you will only have access to a limited number of contacts).
3. Open Pushover and create an account (it’s free).
Part 2.
1. Go to IFTTT.com and create the following two applets:
Applet# 1:
a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a Phrase with a Text Ingredient”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “please text $”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok, text $ , would you like to send this message”
b. “That” – Pushover channel - “Send a Pushover notification”
i. Under “Title” enter “text”
ii. Under “Device” select your device’s name. You can leave, or change, the other default entries according to your preference.
Applet# 2:
a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a simple phrase”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “please send message”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok, sending message”
b. “That” – Pushover channel - “Send a Pushover notification”
i. Under “Title” enter “text”
ii. Under "Message" enter "send"
iii. Under “Device” select your device’s name. You can leave, or change, the other default entries according to your preference.
Part 3.
1. Place the "Send_Message” xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
3. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
To send a text message, use the following command format:
1. “Ok Google, text <name of your contact> "message" <followed by the body of your text message>." GH will read back your message and ask if you want to send it.
2. Say "Ok Google, send message" to send or, restate your message to make corrections. Enjoy!
**Important**
- You must say the word "message" after you state the name of the contact to message and before you state the actual message body! The Tasker profile identifies the word "message" as the "splitter/separator" between the name of your contact or ph# and the body of your text message.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker, AutoContacts, and Pushover or your device may disable these apps when idle.

thanks for posting this great tip but I have a problem
I've setup everything as per your instructions, my GH understands the voice commands I give it, but no text message is actually sent
I wonder if there is some setup of autocontacts that I need to do? I'm new to tasker so don't fully understand how it all works together
edit: I got it to work, needed to upgrade autocontacts to the beta version. thanks again for all your great GH tips

My bad, I forgot to mention and link to the BETA version of AutoContacts. Glad that you figured it out. OP updated.
Thanks for the guide, I followed it and ran into the same problem as the first comment. I realized I also did not have the beta version of AutoContacts so I followed your link to download it and ran into a message on GooglePlay saying "Your account isn't currently eligible for this app's testing program" Is there anyway to get added to this or make regular AutoContacts to work with the rest of the set up?
Thanks

I have never encountered that issue. Try going here to sign up for BETA and see if that works: https://joaoapps.com/beta-testing/
I have followed every single step and on the tasker profile keeps giving me an error on the Variable Split.
Variable split: can't split unset value to set %pushovermesssage
Do I need to be rooted to use it? I have the galaxy s8
thanks

You don't need root. Make certain that you are phrasing your message properly, i.e. "text <name> message <body of your message>" Open the pushover app and confirm the message is coming over correctly.

I checked the pushover app and it is coming over correctly but I always get a message on my own phone from anonymous with the text % pushovermessage2.
When I run the pushover task in tasker I get an error in line 6
thanks

That doesn't help me. I need to see the message coming over from IFTTT to pushover like this:
I'm having a similar issue. Pushover is receiving the messages but the phone is not sending the texts.

I suspect the issue is user error which is why I need the screenshot to confirm. mrniceguy1849 never posted the screenshot when requested.

I guess but it's strange that we both have the same exact 'user error'. I was fiddling with it all night last night and couldn't get it to work properly. I'd post screenshots if I could.
I think the problem people are having is they're not saying "message" after they say the contact name and before the text content. If you watch the video, the formula is:
Hey Google text <contact> message <text contents>
Hey Google send message
If you never say "message" the program never knows that you stopped saying the contact name and started the message body.

Exactly!
I'm getting unknown plugin for autocontacts, is there a fix/reason for that?

This profile is most useful when paired with the Auto-Read New Text Messages profile. After listening to an incoming text message, you will be able to say "Ok Google, reply with..."

Hi. I noticed that the reply program works correctly only when I initiate a text conversation. I cannot just say "reply with" after receiving and listening to a text from a random person. The reply message will end up going to the last person I initiated a text conversation with. Nothing wrong, just something to keep in mind for whoever is reading this.

You should be able to use the "reply with $" command after receiving a random text message from any contact or ph#. It works for me each time.

I wonder if it's because my applets have "Reply with $" where my r is capitalized, but pushover has reply in lowercase under title? I tried changing my 3 options of saying it to lower case "r" and Google replies as if she was actually replying to me. Sounds weird. It wasn't understanding my command, more like a response to my "reply with."
In my S8 I was using messages version 4.4.30.50 and it had the ability to schedule text message. I don't see that in S10. If it's truly not there, do you guys know of text msg app I can switch too that gives scheduling?
Yes, the option to send schedule messages is still there.
Go to messages app, open a conversation (or start new one by selecting the contact and when selecting the box to input the message) select the plus sign and select "Schedule Message".
Thanks got it!
