[Q] SMS on Facebook Messenger not working

Am I the only one who can't get SMS to work through Facebook Messenger app? I used to do this on my S2 but for some reason my Note 2 does not have the option. I actually liked using this app for SMS. Please help!

Bump
This is really bugging me. Anyone have any ideas? I already tried reinstalling multiple times.
I'm running teshx uvlk deodexed with his mods.

A bit more info. I unrooted and full wiped my Note 2 thinking that maybe some of my old data was keeping facebook SMS from working. Still no dice! I just can't seem to get SMS through Facebook Messenger. Is it just not available for our device? Can someone check and see if their Note 2 can send and receive SMS through Facebook messenger?

I'm having same issue with Sprint, stock note ii

It's working fine for me..

I would be willing to say few use Facebook as an SMS app.

Go into the Facebook Messaging settings, in there there is an option to make the app your main sms app then it will work.

I love your wit and humor, usually has me laughing ^_^
However, why did you post what you posted, the thread stated something wasn't working, if it doesn't apply to you and all you can offer is "few people use it"the thread didn't post a poll so why post, do you receive Flaming notices? Funny I tell someone to be smarter when buying a device on Craigslist and I'm flagged for telling it like it is , ya know honest, no cursing, name calling, nothing but reality. But hey at least I answered the posts question ^_^

I posted what I did as an explanation to the poster as to why no one had answered. He had bumped it and I just wanted him to understand he was not being ignored rather not many people probably use it that way or have an answer.

I'm using it and I've never used Facebook. The app is pretty cool as a messing app. It has a lot of emoji s. Op like the other poster said make it your default

It seems that Facebook has removed the option or something. Because my phone shows no SMS setting in the settings area of the messenger app. This is true for CleanRom and Paranoid. Newest update to Messenger as well. Really want to try this out but it seems that Facebook isnt allowing it for some reason.

Works for me no problem just installed facebook home then uninstall and works great

If you still don't have it, try installing Facebook Home first. And then uninstall after you get it working.
I have to say, chat heads are amazing.

I uninstalled FB Messenger. Then installed Facebook Home & Facebook Messenger. Still no SMS setting. My phone is rooted and I'm on CarbonRom latest nightly. Is it dependant on what ROM you are on or something? Would love to have the chat heads for sms. So sweet.

SMS App's???

Do you use the default built in one or another?
I was using samsung's default sms app but just went back to what I was using on my dell streak which is Go SMS Pro.
For some odd reason every once in awhile my default sms would sometimes freak out and show no messages at all until I restarted then a lot of messages would be missing after I restarted.
Hoping that Go SMS Add's a split view like the default sms.

I use handcent sms and have never had any issues... used handcent on all 5 Android devices that I have owned....

I'm using a combination of default and Fusion Messenger. Fusion is in beta and gets an update almost every day but it is coming along very well. Yesterday I finally decided to use it as my main app. It's missing MMS at the moment but that is next on the list. After that Google Talk will be added.

I've tried lots of messaging apps but always come back to stock.

Try Facebook messenger for regular sms....works like a charm and I like the UI

I use messaging + goggle voice in the app store. Paid app but same feel as stock and incorporates google voice texts. I hated using the gv app to text and wanted them all in one place. I use google voice for my personal line and the carrier line for work. This solved both problems and let me keep the look and feel of stock.

Is it bothering you that it's in the apps section? It is a question but more like a discussion on apps out there. I prefer it here

I think it does bother him. This is the 3rd thread that he bumps up saying the same thing.

Apparently if it's a question in any way shape or form then is in the wrong place to him!
Even if its a question pertaining to apps or themes and which ones you use or why...

[APP] Facebook Home v1.0

Hi guys,
Here's the new Facebook Home app for people who can't download from Google Play Store.
Update first your Facebook and Facebook Messenger app and install the Facebook Home app attached.

There is already a thread for this mate... Why make another???

Thanks. I do updated now but this app which regions to install?

Anyone know if the Messenger uses SMS to send receive FB messages? Or does it just integrate FB with SMS. Don't want to pay AT&T for SMS

he wanted some thanks obviously

Agree. He wanted to make his thanks meter to reach 1000. Look now he has 1001. Maybe he's,trying to make it over 9000!!

Actually, according to time stamps this one was first by a couple of hours. I closed the one in General and redirected traffic to this thread.

I probably won't keep it, but the home app is not that bad as a lockscreen. Lockscreen serves no purpose anyway, so... Once you realize you can keep your launcher inside intact, it is not so bad.
What would be really cool is if somebody made like a Flipboard lockscreen app like FB home.

Who'd ever want to replace a beautiful android UI just to access live feeds quickly?
BTW, i hate this app.
I wonder what profit would Facebook make from HTC First.

Best Messaging App.

Just wanted to share the best messaging app to date.

Its in the Play Store why you so hype?
Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.

Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.

Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good

We chat is cool with the audio messaging

Thank you for sharing. I actually installed it and it works so far so.good now. Group text is flawless. Much faster than stock Message app.

This kind of annoys me because I paid for Chomp.... Why not just integrate the features. Oh, I know! Let's make a new app to get more money if and when we make it a paid app.... Maybe?

I like sliding messaging.

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?

Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.

Has anybody tried Invi?

I have that issue on cm10.1 rc5. I had to download the messaging app handcent SMS. I know it covers the issue but at least you can send messages out.

I've tried GoSMS Pro, and Chompsms. Both had separate issues, however Textra gave me good results, but it's still in Beta, without many features. It does look promising though. I'll stick with the stock msg app for now, and wait for a while. Thanks for the reply.:good:
