[Q] Paste Input and Text Messaging - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I got my phone flashed to pageplus, it is a sprint s3. Now, the guy who did it downloaded verizon messaging, but the app itself doesn't give me notifications and the messaging that came on the s3 still does, but i cannot do picture messaging unless it's through verizon messaging. The problem is that I get no notifications.
Also, I speak japanese and have a simple keyboard that uses the long press for "Input" and the s3 doesn't do this or is it something I have to turn on? Can anyone shed some light for me?

your apn setting for mms aren't correct, not sure how to configure them without third party messaging app. they also normally require a pro version to get notification icons. mms apn setting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051415 try go sms, or textsecure which has mms apn options. also when you select the text box, input options are now available within the pull down notification bar and no longer by a long press. hope this helps

duplicate texts, not notifications

Hi:
Since purchasing the at&t gs3, which i love, i keep receiving duplicate text messages. Messages are double in stock messaging and at&t messages also.
I am using go sms pro, and receive 2 of every sms. Mms seems to work fine.
I do have at&t messages notifications disabled. I also have notifications disabled in stock messaging.
I am not receiving double notifications, however, that seemed to be the only suggestions i found when searching.
Please help, this is driving me nuts.
solved
Update:
After much research, I decided the problem was the stupid at&t messages app.
I called at&t and had them remove at&t messages, and add visual voicemail, and problem solved.

I have the Galaxy Nexus running jelly bean on at&t, and I sometimes get these duplicate texts. I'm not sure what you mean by having at&t remove the messaging app though. Is it a package of the your phone plan? I just came from an Iphone in case that matters. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi:
Yes, at&t messages uses a different type of voicemail. If you have used it, then visual voicemail will not work. You have to call and have them deactivate at&t messages voicemail, and make sure visual voicemail is active.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Modified GMAIL app for Light Flow?

I am using Light Flow and I noticed one of the settings allows you to have contact-based access to gmail but you need a modified gmail app to use it. Where do I find the modified gmail app? My phone is rooted and I am running Codename Android.
Thanks!
You can just click the 'add' button in the notification window and it seems to jump to contacts. Never bothered to look much tbh as I just use Light Flow for apps but it might just work...
EDIT: Had a quick look, it gives options for SMS, MMS and missed calls for a specific contact

Under Light Flow settings, there is a "Modified Gmail app" option. If you select this, then in addition to picking contact-specific notifications for SMS, MMS and missed calls, you can also set up contact specific notifications for email addresses. I tried this and unfortunately it does not work. I assume this is because I do not have the "Modified" version of Gmail.
Anyone know what Light Flow is referring to when they reference Modified Gmail App??

[Q] Can't send SMS messages with stock Messaging app on CM12-20150224

Hello. I just bought this phone (Ting/Spring) and installed CM12-20150224 on it. Using the stock Messaging app, I am able to *receive* text messages, but I am unable to send them. More specifically, the send arrow is disabled and does not respond to my tapping. My APN is configured as Ting, and I am able to successfully get LTE where available. Does anyone know what could be wrong, or even what I can do to troubleshoot this?

I've never been able to get an answer about this in another ROM. Apparently, if you get a notification you can send through that but not through the app itself.
I'm on Sprint, and have the same problem.

@tmomail.net Android Messages app help

I'm having a frustrating issue with the stock Android Messages app. My work sends notification texts via email, ie. from a gmail account to "mynumber"@tmomail.net.
The Android Messages app (stock android sms app), will not download these texts. I've been troubleshooting this all week and continue to come up empty, here is a breakdown of symptoms and what I have tried:
-My phone does notify me that a message is received, but requires me to tap to attempt to download the message, but the download always fails.
-Auto-download MMS is enabled, app is up to date
-third party apps WORK (kinda, see textra screenshot. message is delivered along with a weird code)
-if there is a subject in the email, the subject WILL display in the text, but not the body
-Safe Mode does not fix it
-phone is Pixel XL from Play store on T-Mobile
-issue happened on stock unrooted phone with all updates
-after exhausting all options I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and Pure Nexus rom, issue did not go away
-have deleted and edited all APNs countless times changing damn near every option to no avail
-have tried on and off wi-fi, with and without wi-fi calling, no changes
-normal MMS works fine (picture texts, group texts)
-have tried same APNs and apps on two different devices on my plan (V20 and S6 edge), and this issue cannot be duplicated. tmomail messages works fine on those phones with the exact same settings as on my Pixel
That's basically it. Hopefully I'm missing something simple. Please help if you have any suggestions, I'm open to just about anything. I know the easy fix is to just use Textra or another third party app, but I really don't want to. Also I can't stand not knowing what the problem is!!! Thanks in advance!
What do your apn settings look like
Right now they are reset to default.

Can you edit? Add MMS to apn type, reboot, make sure it sticks and try again

Hey so I know your post is literally years old but I had been going through the same problem for YEARS before someone at T-Mobile finally figured it out. I figured I would post this to give you a hand and maybe someone else with this problem.
After going back and forth with T-Mobile for, no joke, 2 years on this issue, the fix was finally discovered. It has to do with T-Mobile "Digits". It's a "free" "second line" which is really just an alternate phone number for you to give people on sites like CraigsList if you don't want people to know your real number. You can just use Google Voice for this. Anyway, call T-Mobile and tell them you don't want your Digits number linked to your cell number (at least not for texts) and it will fix the issue.
Drove me crazy for YEARS. Hope this helps you or anyone else out there!

Stock Samsung Messages App

I have just started using the Samsung Stock Messages app for SMS, coming from Textra.
I noticed that when I hit compose and enter a contact name, it shows all the phone numbers for that person. It doesnt even show which are mobile and which are not.
On Textra it labeled the numbers, and it also had an option to only show Mobile numbers.
Is there any way to do this on the Messages app? Its really confusing as I cant always tell which is even the right number to select for a text message to a contact...seems weird.
Thanks.

It does show mobile and other like work etc for me, open the messages app > contacts tab at the bottom > select contact > if contact has more than one number saved a pop-up appears with names of different numbers shown
Thanks for the reply. I feel like I am missing something as this process is so cumbersome for me that it almost doesnt make sense...
1 - in Textra and others, I hit the compose text button and start typing a name. it then immediately will show any associated numbers with labels so you can see which is the mobile, which is the home, etc. in this stock app I just see the contact name with a bunch of numbers. and if I hit one, it doesnt bring up any sort of window with all the labels.
2- following your directions, if I first go to the contacts tab (already an extra step) I see along list of all of my contact names. There is a search button, but if I hit that and type a contact, I again see an unlabeled list of numbers.
3 - if I manually scroll down the entire list until I find my contact, then when I press it I see a pop up with labels.
Any which way this is a LOT of steps to compose a text message - seems like it doesnt make sense. there is no more streamlined way?

Not that I know of, this is why there are 3rd party apps with a lot more time and attention gone into adding features over stock, personally I just leave conversations in my messages app so I can open and text direct from there, only the first ever message you send them you have to perform those steps
Why not just stick with Textra?
Great question!
Sadly, something is screwed up with AT&T, my Galaxy S9 and text messaging.
Several weeks ago, I started having an issue where I am sporadically not getting random texts. They just never appear - and then people are wondering why I didnt reply. To troubleshoot this, I went to the AT&T portal and checked the log of text messages...the missing messages are never even hitting my AT&T number, so it seems this is not an app issue.
AT&T has so far been useless in diagnosing this. But googling around, I have noticed that a number of people have had this issue and it seems AT&T's "Advanced Messaging" feature is a possible culprit. There have been reports that deactivating this has solved the issue for some users.
Unfortunately the only way to deactivate this that I have uncovered is through the stock app. And if I deactivate this in the stock app and then switch to another app like Textra, it is getting turned on again automatically. I have not discovered any way to keep this deactivated while using a 3rd party SMS app.
Crazy but tragically seems to be the case...very frustrating.

There is an app called "Package Disabler Pro" which allows without root, the disabling of system packages, if you know what the advanced messaging package is called, you might be able to permanently disable it without having to have the stock SMS app as default, perhaps disabling the Samsung stock SMS app would also do it (Just read here that Disabling the messages app on the S10+ allows Textra to work)
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/blcs1b/textra_no_sent_messages_only_received_messages/
Contacting the Textra dev would be a good idea too, ask them to add the feature you need into textra
I am also seeing another method that may disable it, by disabling VoLTE
https://textra.uservoice.com/knowle...80-t-mobile-at-t-verizon-missing-messages-rcs
Looks like that is for T-Mobile but worth a shot, if AM uses VoLTE it should kill it
