Duplicate messages with GO SMS Pro

So I've been using GO SMS Pro for almost two months now. Early on I got tired of getting messages within the app as well as through my stock messaging app. I used NoBloat Free to disable the stock MMS.apk and that eliminated the duplicate messages.
However, I had a friend tell me repeatedly that he had sent me a picture message and I wasn't getting them. I could send them without problem, but I couldn't receive them. So I decided to re-enable the stock MMS.apk and it started working again.
Is there anyway to avoid the duplicate messages and still be able to receive MMS? Should I be using a different messaging app? I like the GO SMS more than the stock messaging app.

Just disable notifications in the stock sms app. That's what I do when I use another app.

Well I guess that would eliminate the duplicate notifications, but they are still "there". Even after re-enabling the stock messaging app I had 438 messages waiting. I worry this is slowing down the phone because they all build up. If I could receive MMS without the stock messaging app I'd be fine.

Yes, I've noticed every time that i restart my phone it says i have whatever amount of messages from the stock app, but i redirected it so that when i go to view it just goes to go SMS pro

I guess I could just redirect it to GO SMS. Does anyone know of a better remedy though?
Could I use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock messaging app? Or would I end up with the same result as I did using NoBloat free?

I have the same "problem". when I send one text message .. the receiver will get 2 messages from me . :|
with older go sms I don;t have any problems

Same problem for me. Send 1=sends 2.
Kiiiind of a critical bug for a sms-app.(if it is the app that is)

GO sms Pro, sent message
Samsung Galaxy S2, same problem with 1 message sendt via GO SMS Pro = 2 received messages for the receiver..
Somebody know the solution for this? Is the problem within the GO SMS application?

Same problem for me..

Same with me , 1=2 , GS2. It forced me to switch to another messaging app. And go sms is the best one

I just got a new Galaxy S3 and installed Go SMS Pro. My problem is slightly different. The person i send the message to doesn't get double messages. But I get double messages from the sender. I just installed this app 5 min ago so i assume i have the latest version. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

Anyone using MightyText having a problem sending MMS through Web app?

I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.

If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium

I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.

Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.

I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.

I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message

I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

Doesn't work for me.
I installed Contacts+ and made it my default messaging app. Now MMS/group message works using MightyText.

MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.
Brian

I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.

Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent

Default SMS app?

I just got the Pixel XL yesterday and still figuring out all of the specifics. When I got the phone the default messaging (sms) app was set to Messenger. I sent a text using Messenger and the person's response came back on Hangouts. I went through all of the settings and made sure that Messenger is set to the default sms app, rebooted the phone, and no matter what I do the only way that I can receive texts is through hangouts. I don't mind hangouts but I wanted to try both and compare them. I am using Google Fi as my carrier, so maybe this has something to do with it? What are you guys using for your default sms app?
Edit: I figured it out. There was another settings buried deeper in the hangouts app that needed to be changed.
Purely out of curiosity though, which SMS app are you using?

Yaata SMS paid version.

Using the stock messaging app for now. Works fine. On the note I used vzw messages plus because I like the desktop app integration. I may go back to that, I dunno.

To Change
If you wan tot change, just go to either Messenger or Hangouts (they are practically identical) and go to Status and change the SMS App to the one you want. I use both, since I need the Hangouts Caller to dial up numbers on Wi-Fi. I don't do this often, but it is there if you signal is really bad. I am using Project Fi.

Same here. There are a few things I really can't understand why Android still aren't able to do, texting from a computer/tablet using native app is one of them

New Messages app converts outgoing MMS texts to SMS

Hello XDA,
BACKGROUND
Last night I downloaded and installed the latest OxygenOS OTA (4.0.2) for Nougat 7.0 (stock). I noticed that the Messages (the actual name of app) app was different. It looks like the developers made some enhancements to the Messenger (actual name of the old app) app. I like the look of the new app and thought I'd give it a try. After the upgrade, the old Messenger app was still the default app. I noticed that the Messages app would only allow me to view my texts. In the Messages app, there was a prompt for me to change my default texting app from Messenger to Messages. This allowed me to send texts via the new app.
ISSUE
When sending a MMS message through the latest Messages app, the message is being transformed to SMS. Meaning, my texts get sent out individually to the recipients - even though my Messages app shows my text in a group when looking at it on my phone.
I tried to do some research on Google but could not find a solution. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have your MMS APN installed in your phone? If not, add it manually or request it from your operator and reboot the phone.

Hmm, I would not have thought that the APN would have been reset. It was working prior to the OTA update. But anything is worth a try. I will look into this and get back to you.

I have the same thing going on although not the MMS issue as all my apn settings remained unchanged. I am confused about why I now have the pre 4.0.2 Messenger app and now also have Messages since 4.0.2 update. Why is this and how does it get fixed so I only have one app for sms/mms.
Thanks all!

Jay, are you saying that you were able to use the latest Messages app and still able to send and receive MMS?
I could not get the new Messages app to send/receive MMS. I gave up and reverted back to the older Messenger app. I went into settings>apps>messages and force stopped the application. Then I disabled it. The old Messenger app works fine.

James,
I just was able to receive a picture with no issues. I went into the Messenger app and disabled receiving messages through settings and then made sure Messages was able to receive via settings as well. I didn't do any disabling of apps, etc. I ha entirely used the new Messages app much as of yet but it looks decent.
Anyone have reasons as to why the new update added a new app for sms/mms rather then just replace the previous one?

Hi with your new software update in the messaging app i only recieve text cant send outgoing text.please fix this. I want the old version. I m stuck not being able to send outgoing sms frm my phone.
Thanks poornima

SMS settings missing in Verizon S8+

I originally ordered and used the S8+ on T-Mobile. I wasn't happy with the service, returned the device after using it for a week and a half and went back to Verizon and i'm noticing differences between the 2 different carrier phone model (which i expected to see).
The S8+ on T-Mobile allowed me send SMS messages (using the native Samsung Message app) that were as long as i wanted and they did not get broken up. On my new Verizon S8+ all incoming and outgoing messages are cut up and sent individually. On the T-Mobile version, there were settings in the Message app to change the different SMS settings and coding and that are missing on the Verizon model. I even enabled and used the terrible Verizon Messages app to see if i could make changes there, but there were no options there either.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed, or better yet, if it CAN be fixed? It's kind of frustrating. And Google provided no help except threads like this that were started and never completed with an answer.

You could try a different texting app. I use Textra and it gives you some options for split SMS. It may or may not solve your issue.

The thing is i had them before for a few years and had the S5, S6 and iPhones, but i never had this problem with any of them. "Superior" network with annoying compromises.

I'll give that one a try. I switched to Android Messages and i think it's solved, haven't gotten to test it too much with non-iPhone users.

That sucks. I know that SMS and MMS can be tricky. May have something to do with carriers. I have had to mess around with using different ones in different situations. I was using Chomp for a while with good results, but had to swap to Textra which has been doing well for me for my last 2 phones. Using Verizon on Verizon.

I am not having that issue. When someone send me a long message, it actually turn into an mms and I'm seeing it as 1 long message.

I also don't like the Verizon app, I want to use the native app. My native app works but the latest update wakes the screen on incoming SMS every single time no way to shut off. Very annoying, stuck using Verizon app for now as well. Have posted a thread here about that https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/screen-wake-incoming-sms-verizon-s8-t3594258 Also have opened a ticket with Samsung about that issued and Verizon community. Will see if it gets fixed with OTA patch. I have seen this before on beta builds on S7 edge, very annoying.
Also noticed they locked out the engineering menu, I mean come on Verizon. While I like the network way way way better than Sprint, this thing is locked and locked again.

I have been using the Android Messages app for a couple months now on my HTC M9. Just got this S8+ about a week ago. Hate the Samsung messages app. No individualized options for each person. The Verizon SMS app... well, it's the Verizon app, enough said. I have really liked the Android Messages on this now. No problems with sending short or long texts, or sending media. Seems to work the best out of all i've seen with the most options or features.

Does anyone know if Verizon killed RCS messaging features in the stock Samsung messages app? I'm not getting read receipts, typing notifications etc

I don't think Verizon supports RCS messaging, last i read they had no plans to implement it. Also, i don't remember Samsung having support for it either. I could be wrong, but that's what i remember.

Those options only work in the Verizon messaging app, it may only be limited to others also using the Verizon messaging app to message you, maybe someone can test it to verify. But I can indeed verify typing notifications and read receipts do working in the Verizon messaging app.

AT&T does as well, but it's limited to within the carrier. Same for T-Mobile. And Verizon has it in their Messages+ app (which sucks).
