Yeah tiny mouse arrow is there.
Not sure why long press never did text selection in gmail before. It's not like long press did anything previously!
Does anyone know if there's a 'dark' version of 2.3.4? I'm so used to having it on 2.3.2. and I don't wanna go back.
You can select text for sure but you can't do **** with it lol

do you use this function after click reply and select words in reply quote field? I long pressed words in a received email, nothing happened. i'm using 2.3.3 gmail.
just found the newest is 2.3.4.1, is the one you use?

2.3.4.1 and the one previous (that was pulled).
And no.. it works when you're reading the email, not during a reply/compose.
You long press then let go, you will see a cursor, then you can tap and drag anywhere to highlight anything.

Thanks! updated to 2.3.4.1, it works.
Long press does nothing. Menu -> Select text does. 2.3.4.1

You're right, it does nothing. Google put it in the changelog and fooled us... but somehow mine does it by magic.

No need to be sarcastic. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for all of us. I have tried with various emails and holding my finger on text for various amounts of time. No success.

In my experience, you need to long press, and then (if you see the little mouse icon), drag your finger.
Some of us are still waiting for ANY update to GMail =(

Some of us are wondering why Google separated the Gmail client from the regular email client.
Outright idiotic, IMO.

Hey guys,
I made a little discovery today while attempting to figure out a way to send native SMS messages on the gear.
What I discovered is a way we can manually invoke the text template popup to any specified number, this can be useful if you want to save various text templates in gear manager and would like to actually send them, rather then only just use them to reply with.
At the moment the only way to preform the intent is using tasker or adb shell, this is more a educational post for those of you who would be considered advanced users can possibly make it a little more user friendly !
Perhaps someone can code a simple app with a contact list so that we can send text templates, @st-tps I'm talking about you
SHELL COMMAND:
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider.TextTemplateListActivity -e phone_number 0401010101
*NOTE* Replace "0401010101" with the desired destination number.
I will also include a tasker example once I make one.
Happy hacking.
I´m definitely up for the challange.
I´ll try to get something running as soon as I get some time to look at it.
Another interresting thing is the /data/data/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/databases/texttemplate.db wich stores the Templates. If we find a way to edit the db we could actually write what message we want to the db, then open the dialog and chose the newly created message and send it to what number we want. I´we got some ideas about this, I´ll try em out as soon as I get your shell commands working.
That is about how close we can get to native SMS right?

Oh thats awesome, didn't realize the templates were stored there..
If we can edit the database, We would have a kind of working solution, although I really want to figure out how to send custom text. Rather to relying on the templates.
Also another thing I havnt figured out yet tho is how we can pull the contacts from the phone, it doesn't look like there stored on the gear anywhere that I have found anyway. It seems there pulled from the host phone everytime the contacts app is executed.

My plan is to make it something like this:
Start app, choose recipient and write the message. The message is added to an local texttemplate.db file with only that row. When you press Send, the original texttemplate.db file is renamed, the local one is pushed to the directory, the Reply Dialog opens with only one option (The message you recently created) select the message and it gets send away, the "one row" .db is then deleted and the original one got it´s real name back...
If this works, nothing gets f**ked up by changing in the real .db file. This only my thoughts so we will see if I manage to achieve it...
The contact name and phone number for recieved messages and missed calls are stored in NotificationSync.db in the table SyncNotiInfo and in fields mMainText and mPhoneNumber. I assume that info is used when replying to messages.

i get my contacts through google contacts after tethering with my phone.
the problem with 'stock' contacts was that it took ages to load (i guess it's synchronized everytime you open the app) and most contacts are missing on my list due to custom label (instead of just 'mobile' i use labels like AT&T).
Here comes a real early beta (More like an alpha) of NativeSMS, the most fancy about it may be the progress bar at launch
What it does: list all your contacts (If you´we sometimes synced with Google Contacts that is) that´s got a phone number attached to it, tap a contact and wait until the template box appears, select template and click send.
What it doesn´t do: Sort the contacts alphabetically. Save the list until next appstart. Create own messages.No fancy icon yet.

A excellent start ! Works perfectly fine.. for a first release doesn't look bad cosmetically either !
Bravo.
st-tps, i installed nativesms, it gave me an error sub:main_activity_resume (java line: 318) java.lang.nullpointerexeption, because i didnt have the people app installed.
Might want to put some kind of check to see if the app is installed.

Great idea, perhaps just throw out a relevant error
"People app was not found, please reinstall rom", also I found you can share contacts via bluetooth which is great... I dont use GAPPS so I've transferred over my "favourites" ! Nice and easy.

No it does not. You must have a contacts database & contacts application in order to use this.

I´ll certainly do, good point.
I´ll put in a check for com.android.provider.contatcs in the create part of the Activity, if OK - Load contacts, if NOK - Message box about missing app and then exit.
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------
Small update, I´we done some tests regarding editing the db file, very unsuccessfull..
Pulled the original db to computer and did the edit.
Try 1: Delete all rows but one and sent back to Gear - App FC when the Dialog would show
Try 2: Only did minimal changes, editet first row only - App FC when the dialog would show
Try 3: Edit one row only, and renamed the journal file aswell, the only valid file in directory is the edited db wich opens fine in Root Browser - App FC when the Dial would show.
Anyone got ideas what´s causing the Template send FC?

Nope, permissions and owner is the same..
The only difference is that the original db file got a journal file attached to it.
Will try to copy both the db and the journal to computer, edit and then push them both back.

Hmm, I think we need to dig a little deeper.. perhaps figure out how the JSON requests are being sent to phone and generate our own.
Try to unravel the SDK one line of code at the time.

Yeah, I´ll pull the APK and decode it, then I start the search for something usefull.
I would be awesome if we could put the Message as extra content to the intent, just like the phone_number

Hi Guys,
i know its a random question but i was wondering if it is possible to change the name that Touchless Control uses? Ok Google Now can't pronounce my first name so instead its simply spelling it out. i would like to change it to something else that it is can pronounce but so far i have been unable to find out how to do that.

You can try changing your name card. Pull down the notification shade, tap your name/profile icon, tap your name in the floating window, and tap the 3 dots to edit the name. I just tried and it's working fine.

Thanks but that didn't work for me. it is still using my full name. the funny thing is that it sometimes pronounces it right and sometimes it doesnt.

Hmm. Try deleting your "me" contact card and make another one. It must be sourcing from your accounts.
If you use G+ you can change your profile name within the app. It will update on all your Google products. The OK Google Now feature pulls your name from your Google profile.

I accidentally selected the phone storage for the location to search for sounds before I changed to settings to always ask and even though I hit cancel at the time I'm stuck with this selection. I made the choice in the Android messages app and tried settings>apps>messages>clear defaults but it didn't change and now I noticed that it's my only choice for other notification sound in other apps too! What am I missing? How do I get it to let me pick the path every time now?
I use Google's messages so I never saw anything that let me choose (also unrooted), but any sounds placed in to notifications folder on the root of the phone and sdcard can be choosen. Just note that it would use the meta tag info, if there are none then it just shows up on list as an entry called 'sound' (possible to have multiple sound entry)

Hmmm... Android message? or the Built in message? Anyway, you could try installing Zedge (ringtones app) and then from within the app try to change the sound. Maybe it will prompt you to reselect the location?

Both apps actually, all notification sounds go to the stick sounds. I can set a sound from Zedge but not to a specific contact or app. I'm looking to get the options back when I click on notification sound in an app.
As a long shot you could try resetting the sound picker app

Well. At least you got it. But for future reference... Maybe look in Settings...Apps... then click on the top right 3 dots.
I found some interesting default apps options.
You can select different ringtones for different contacts. Select a contact you want to change the ringtone for (make sure you've previously downloaded the ringtone you want) and then edit. Scroll down to more then at the bottom of the options you can choose a custom ringtone and message tone.

This is what I did after I made my selection. The problem was I couldn't locate the app that kept me from selecting it in notifications do I cleared all defaults. Not a complete loss but mildly inconvenient.

Yeah, unfortunately that would be the only way (since you don't remember the app)...that way, when you select...the option should pop up everytime, as long as you select Just Once everytime.
I'm having the same issue but that options to change message tone is not available on the Oreo Beta, hope the include it in the final build.

Possibly. Although the Contacts app is made by Samsung and isn't included in Android stock (as far as I know). So you might just have the most stable version available whilst they tweak it to work with Oreo.

As written, I have before to swipe down the screen then will appear a search edit text, then i have to click to make the keyboard pop up is really tedious everytime i am looking for an app to do this intermediate step, would not be possible to have it instantaneous, how can samsung miss such a basic user experience thing in 2018?
you mean swipe up to open app drawer?
anyways, keyboard appearing by default can acctualy be a nuisance. android is all about posibilities and not being locked in.
also just put a widget or shortcut to google search somewhere. it searches in all items and launches the keyboard by defaut because its a search app. sometimes different apps or sections of a system behaves differently because of the intent.

you can also write action words:

send email
take pictures
etc..
you can also say directly these action words too if you config OK google.
