Just switched to the LG G3. The messaging app lags to the point of being frozen most of the time. I have many messages in the app (500+), maybe that's part of the reason. Yet it's lagging like crazy... To the point of my thinking of ditching the phone altogether.
Can anyone please help how to fix this?

Use another messaging app? Textra, EvolveSMS, you name it
Same here. Ridiculously laggy.
maybe save attachments to internal instead of external.
and delete OLD messages.
What's the best third party messaging app?

Just wanted to share the best messaging app to date.
App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
Emoji Plug-in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra.emoji
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.
Give facebook messenger a try it works . Lots of emojis... btw I don't even use Facebook

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.

Are you referring to Textra? I've been using Chomp for the past year.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
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?

Havent been on XDA for a while, but I searched for an updated stock messaging app thats been edited to remove the contact photos from every line in a text conversation and havent found anything yet. Just wanted to see if anyone uses another stock version that has the quick reply popup and also sends/receives pictures or if there is another app from the Play store that doesnt eat battery.

I do remember using that at one point on my old smartphone. Are there any stock Android ones? Id really like to stay stock or find one tha looks like the iphone messaging app.
Try textra, 3rd party app but looks pretty nice

Its nice, but it doesnt do the quick reply pop up over the stock lockscreen. Always have to unlock and go to messages to read/reply. Kinda why I want to stick with a modified stock that just gets rid of the stupid contact photos.

Textra is my favorite

Your response prompted me to try it out. Really like what I'm seeing and will probably be using it for a while.
What is it that you don't like about Google hangouts? You can setup a Google voice number and text using that #, make wifi or data calls using for google voice number. Google hangouts does everything

Textra is the best app out there IMO. Send and receives pictures like a phone is supposed to (actually shows each picture as opposed to a Slideshow) has delay sending, and many other features. Fair warning though they are moving from a free app to paid. But totally worth it in every way.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Textra or Google Messenger I think are the two best.
I ended up sticking with Google Messenger because Textra seemed to have trouble with different DPI's which I found a little weird. I think it has a few extra features that make it better the GM if that's not an issue for you.
Agreed. Textra is awesome. I love using the "giphy" attachments.
Though I'm content with the stock messaging app, if I wasn't using it I'd be used Google Messenger. It's nice and clean and I actually like its simplicity
EvolveSMS is my choice...

I tried evolvesms on my Note 4 which is running 5.01 but it seems to freeze on the conversation list page. Have you had this problem?
Textra probably is the best but there are a ton of bug reports everyday
I don't mean to sound like a noob. But I've been wondering for awhile now. Why won't Samsung stock message app send pics when connected to WiFi. I always have to disconnect WiFi to send and get pics but not from most 3rd party apps. Is this just me cause I'm using GSM sim? But I think I had this problem with another Samsung phone. If someone could give me some insight that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. But I was just being inquisitive and wondering why the stock app behaves that way.
All other phones I've had send mms whether WiFi is on or not. And like I stated already, 3rd party apps work as they should. Is it a Samsung thing or sprint?
I don't know cause ever since stage fright came out I've just been using textra due to the only text messaging app that has the protection for stage fright.

Can anyone recommend a text messaging app that supports picture messages on Android wear and supports individualized notifications for texts on your phone?
Thanks Jason
