ChompSMS

Has anyone used this instead of the standard One X messaging App? I used to use BiteSMS (same company) on my iPhone and that really was good... Just wondered what people thought of it before I spent time downloading it etc...

I'm using GoSMS which is in principle the same as chomp with a bit more possibilities to modify. I never us standard messaging, it is so limited.

I have recently discovered Go SMS too and I'm loving it.

Does anyone know how to modify gosms so the contact with a new new message is a different colour? It goes bold but still white!

I don't know what you did, but I tried chompsms twice already in my htc one X and it was soooo laggy. Chompsms sure is fast in my galaxy note, but in my HOX, everytime i will open a text message from the conversation list, it will take like 3 seconds before it opens. I know it is not supposed to be like this so honestly I don't know what I did wrong.

Would people say GoSMS works better than ChompSMS then? A friend has also recommended I try "Handcent SMS" too,

I use handcent and it works just great but i havn't tried chomp or go so can't comment, also handcent is customisable like the others.

Just tried Handscent it seems decent; not sure if I prefer GoSMS over it though.

I use Chomp currently and recommend it. However, you should know there is a trial period and once that it is over it prompts you to purchase or else you get a pesky advertisment at the bottom of the app.

I too also used BiteSMS without any issues. So naturally I picked up using ChompSMS as I have read forum posts stating that both apps are made by the same group, however I am starting to doubt this.
I am having an occasional issue where one of my contacts is routinely receiving an already sent txt msg from me a couple of days later. This has happened twice in the past two weeks and is quickly becoming my biggest pet peeve of this app. Has anyone else experienced this with Chomp?

When I first moved to android I used Handcent but after finding GoSms I have not looked back. I cant comment about Chomp but I wont be moving away from GoSms ever.

4.1 "Messaging is sending a large number of messages"

Have been getting this since updating to Jelly Bean. Haven't had this problem before. I am trying to have a conversation with the old lady. Anyone have a work around?

Before switching to verizon I had T-Mobile and always had that with me my G1 .. since this is actually a gsm ROM maybe that's where it come from

Can I ask, do you mean that if you try and send 1 text it sends 3 or so, or am I misunderstanding?
BANE

No, he means that if you send a text message, get a response and send a new text message, and sends another one you will get that warning message. It is meant as a security feature if an malacious app is trying to send multiple SMS's you will find out.
Saw a similar thread some days ago, but I don't know if they found a workaround for it or not.

Dude I am getting this to and it annoys the hell out of me I have i9250 with tmo and with ICS it didn't do this and I increased the number of texts for it to save and still does this.... I get this message after every text I was in cm went back to stock for jb and now dealing with this and there is just something about being stock I like better but I cannot deal with this
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Well, it's nothing to do with the amount of messages to store. It's how many messages you send per minute (or something) that causes that message to appear.
Are you using 3rd party messaging app?

Nope stock messaging

Any more info on this? Only happens when you heavy text in. Short period of time. But annoying none the less

i'm having the same issue on my gnex with 4.1 jb ...any work around it ?

Just started to get this today. Super annoying!
BUMP!
How can we disable this message for this app?

Bump.
Have the same "issue" (even if it is not one). When I send two or three messages to one person in a reduced amount of time, the warning message pops.
Not something truly important but it starts to bother me..is it a control integrated in Android itself or just the messaging apk ?

Dammit you beat me to it, this fix does work if you are using most AOSP based roms, for some reason it does not work on Stock JB but so far has worked on any other custom rom ive tried. simply install open up app and accept what its telling you and you are good to go.

Wow, so good, seems to be working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.92 with the APK. Thanks !

There are ways to remove that notification
There are some custom ROMs that have removed that notification. If you still see it, there are apps on Google Play (like SMS Limit Unlock or SMS limit tool) that can remove that limit completely. Tried both and only the first one worked on my Android 4.2.2 device, so you're welcome to give them both a try.
(And you will need root, of course...)

Set SMS message limit
Try to look under Settings --> Security --> App Security -> SMS message limit
I have it there and have set it successfully to 200.

of course - it is in settings

Great, those settings under personal/security are so well hidden I had somehow managed to set that to "none".

Textra - android app that handles group messaging with iphone

Go SMS does this as well but I don't like the UI. Found this application by the developers of Chomp and it only has 1k downloads.

I'll give it a shot. Go SMS has run its course with me but I don't like the other alternatives, and it does group MMS the best

Looks nice, but I don't like that each message doesn't have a timestamp. Back to AOSP messaging...

Has anyone been able to get MMS working? I've tried a few of the tricks round like setting the message size limit and changing the APN to .att.com.
any thoughts?

Love this app, was using the aosp one (have TW) and found this one by accident about two weeks ago browsing the play store. Everything has worked out so far including MMS with no issues. Like everything about it and the features it has so far, feels very lightweight compared to gosms, chomp and handcent. Awesome nonetheless!

I couldn't get MMS to work until I changed the proxy settings you provided. Thank you very much for posting this fix!

Bringing this thread back up a couple months, but wanted to chime in. I've been using textra for it's simplicity for a while now. You actually can view the timestamp for each message by swiping from the right edge inward. No way to have it permanently displayed as far as I can tell, but can be done.

I've been trying this out, too, and it's nice. One annoyance: Is they're any way to get rid of the (apparently) persistent status bar notification icon? It's telling me that I have X number of unread messages, but I know I have read them all.

Terrible image quality in MMS...

Alright, so I know some of you are probably going to say "just send an e-mail!," but it's a bit inconvenient (not to me personally, but maybe to the person I am trying to send it to) for them to open up their e-mail just to see an image when I could just send it as an MMS through my default SMS app.
I was wondering, is there any way to fix this? Whenever I send an MMS the quality just gets destroyed by compression, which is annoying when you have a decent, in my opinion, camera that takes quality photos but can't be shared through mms because of compression. I've tried using alternate mms apps like GoSMS (it sends the people a link when the file is uploaded which is annoying, though it is full quality) and ChompSMS; when I change the limit, Sprint just rejects the image even though ChompSMS says it sent (which they do provide a disclaimer for in the settings).
Is this just something to do with Android or is it on Sprint's end? I feel like Sprint compresses the images for their network, but it's really stupid in my opinion to have a good camera on a phone for no reason because you can't even share the photos properly. Even over Wi-Fi the images look like total crap when sent in MMS or even uploaded to instagram/facebook. I have to upload them to Dropbox and upload them to facebook or wherever from my laptop if I want the normal quality out of my camera.

I do not believe Sprint compresses the images as the images get compressed before sending. It's more of the stock app issue. I have no issue sending big images using a 3rd party sms app (Tencent)

So it's an issue with the stock app on every version of Android? I don't think I remember having this problem when I was on stock android back on Gingerbread or even ICS (custom roms). As far as I can remember, it's only been happening to me while on a JB Rom, stock or not.

From what I researched its only on 4.1+ ROMs in general.

Yeah, I read somewhere that it wasn't introduced until Jellybean came out, but I don't really see the reasoning behind it. Even on the stock rom it does it, we should at least have the option to turn it off.
What are some good sms apps that don't try too hard to look like the iOS messaging app and allow users to send uncompressed images through MMS that you would recommend? I couldn't find tencent, only Handcent, but I didn't like that one when I tried it. I've tried Chomp and GoSMS as well.

I meant Handcent. Oops.
Well the only ones that I know of are Go SMS, Chomp, and Handcent.

Hmm, I've used Sliding Message Pro I think it was called, but I don't remember seeing any settings for MMS quality or anything like that. I do know that GoSMS would send people a link instead of the image, which would then open up their browser and they could see the picture and that when setting the max to 5mb it was just rejected by Sprint all together.
Guess I'll have to keep looking or go back to ICS/GB. :\
Thanks for the help, though.

I myself don't like using handcent cause it just looks childish. I only use it to send pictures though. I use the stock app for everything else.

Exactly, that's why I strongly dislike using any 3rd-party messaging apps. They all have poor design.

Getting MMS/SMS working on Cyanogenmod builds

I'm wondering if anyone here with the developer edition (KLTE) has gotten MMS/SMS working on CM12.1 or CM13.0? I've flashed the KLTE builds (TWRP won't let me flash KLTEVZW) and after setting the APN I get 4G LTE data, but anytime I try and send any SMS it says "Network not available, will resend when available". Anyone figured out how to get it working? I've asked here but apparently no one there cares about the Verizon developer edition of this phone...

I'm using revolution remix marshmallow and have encountered issues with mms. Using an alternate SMS program works(textra), but no others work? To pin down the issue, maybe give it a try?

You just flashed the KLTE build found here and installed Textra then? https://basketbuild.com/devs/Fumes007/klte/RR-MM-v6
Too bad the Verizon Messages app doesn't work like Textra.

Yeah I'd like the included Version to work, it just doesn't. I also tried a half dozen others that don't. Textra just works, but WHY?

Because textra is awesome

I still like Verizon Messages way better. More features, easier to see all the pictures and links shared within the conversation. Until Textra has something like that, I'll still with VM.

Thats fair, I just love the clean look of textra, and how reliable it has been for me. I use vzw messages on my tablet and I have to admit it is a great app, I still like Textra better for my phone though .
