Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....

So every time I send a screencap people always tell me the text is blurry and can't read it. Today I tried sending the same pic but used handcent and the quality was a whole lot better. Anybody knows why the stock messaging compresses mms into such a bad quality? It's not noticeable on pictures of ppl or things just when sending a picture with text on it. Hmm?

Yes. Unfortunately you have to run something like go SMS and change the send size if u want crisp mms.
Or email em

I don't know if this occur to me as well but i can tell you that when i send an MMS it just stays like "on a loop" (Sending it) like FOR HOURS!!! It's insane, & yes, I'm running stock for now just to know how the phone works by himself without any tweaks... (I'm not giving it much time now, I've heard A LOT OF AWESOME THINGS & ROMS in here; so please don't judge me ...)
Is there something that I need to change for this
I guess I can email them about it. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like you need to call Sprint and have them refresh your data connection. Mine sends them in like 1-3 seconds.

It seems whenever I try to send 3 messages in a row in the stock messaging app it freezes and lags a bunch. I also can't receive more than 3 messages at once either...anyone else experiencing lag issues? This also happens in every other app but messaging is the worst

How many messages do you have stored? If you're having problems in every app then it sounds like either something's corrupted in the system, or you have an app causing problems eating up memory or other resources.
Unless you have good reason to believe that the problems with sms are unrelated from your other issues, you should give more info on more apps, on what else happens, when it happens, what triggers it, what you've tried to do to fix so far, etc.
Also helps to know if your rooted, what rom/build your using, kernel, etc.

I like handcent...not sure what the downsides are to handcent compared to the others. I did try gosms a while back and wasn't impressed. I could give it another shot though.
I really don't have a lot of requirements for a messaging app. I don't do groups or advanced messaging. Even so, I find the stock messaging app extremely unappealing and not adequate for my minor needs.
Handcent here. Been using it since my original Droid days I think. Just fell in love with it. The only other messaging app that I didn't much mind was the stock one on my Galaxy Note 2, but I've since fallen back to the familiar. I find it functional and customizable enough for my tastes.

Handscent here as well... with the group messaging plug-in... got rid of the Emoji plug-in due to it messing with my MMS for some reason... maybe a combination of the two... Main reason I got Handscent was the color customization to match my theme.

Default. I used to use go but it got too bloated for my liking and then they disabled backing up of sms to local storage and pushed their cloud backup.

I tried most mostly because there seems to be a growing requirement for emoji. pffft.
All non stock apps except for chomp scroll very poorly when moving and reading through the messages: go, handsent, etc. Chomp is the only one that scrolls smoothly. However, I cannot attach pics or vids - it crashes. contacting the developer said "fixing hopefully in a week" until then I just use stock app o if I need to send a mms. I'd use the stock app but its emoji is very limited. always a compromise isn't it?
Pansi SMS nice simple interface. I use my backup root to save MMS and sms

Thought I was the only one on this. I've been using bitesms on Iphones for years so I've been so used to it, so when I jumped ship and go with the GN2 naturally I had to find somethign similiar. You're right about mms though, but I use stock sms app for that purpose, so chompsms all the way.
Go sms with emoji plug in. Like all the different emojis. Also wife has iphone with ios6 and stock messaging wouldn't show pics of the emojis on her phone. Go sms shows with no problem.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I have been using chomp sms for the past couple of days and love it. It's not as flashy as go sms is with themes but it make up for it without the constant text messages they send you. I also donated to the dev which got rid of the adds so it almost feels like a stock app. Anyways its a really great app if any of you are interested.

Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.

I'm sick of using Samsung's built in message app. It's max mms file size limitation and mms slideshow viewer are as irritating as can be.
I have tried GO SMSPro and looked into Handcent SMS, but both apps seem to be bloated with unnecessary "features" such as theming, and stores. I just want a basic stock(ish) experience. I have downloaded Cyanogen mod and Xperia mms apps and attempted to rename, replace and set permissions to no avail. It seems as if android doesn't recognize them at all.
I finally did find the stock android messaging app in a thread dedicated to the Note 2, but it seems a little... too basic for my tastes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Which carrier are you on? Because if it's att you are limited to 600kb. You could set the mms file limit size to 1 gig if you wanted but you are still limited by what the network will allow to pass through.. I haven't found a way to bypass the network limitations either pal

I feel the same way you do, I've tried so many but nothing to my liking. The Cyanogenmod mms.apk is the best but when I installed that over the stock one everything worked but it would crash trying to send a pic.
I've found one that isn't too bad, it's clean, small and fast. Try out Textra, you might like it.
