I am with you on that one! My current SMS is getting dull and outdated. I am switching constantly between Textra and GO SMS and Handcent. Anyone else have any other idea's on what to use??

Textra

I've gone through a few but now stuck with hangouts. Has the added bonus of video and voice calling if needed.

I loved go sms, I even paid for all its features, but when my messages started getting long it lagged HARD, I looked up solutions but found none, I used it that way on 4 phones over 3 years, I use textra now and wouldn't use anything else

There's also Contacts+, which you can set as your default SMS app. Not for me, I just use Hangouts, seeing as the stock one is so butt-ugly

Textra hands down.

Textra or Evolve SMS are both good with good lollipop designs

Honestly I've been looking for a replacement also, my issues with all 3rd party sms apps is no multi window support or pop window, Textra in away you don't need this support but it's fails on the lock screen cause after couple min the text message disappears with QR, an than you can't use pop window with this app
Basically I switch from Hangouts and Stock Messages just to have pop window support but I do want QR :/ also hate how you can't access Notification Center on lock screen with password you have to unlock phone first

Uninstalling the app does nothing you have to go to Google.com/voice and configure the settings really easy and simple

Ain't no "user error". It just appears.
I didn't have any problems until one day it started to say "press 1 to pick up" or something like that. I never changed anything on GV webpage.
I had to uncheck "call screening" or something in that sense.
For some of you who need repeating stuff to understand, I HAVE NEVFER CHANGED ANYTHING ON GV WEBPAGE BEFORE"
Okay so where is that setting at if its not on the website, I'm not trying to argue with you guys I just want to know how to remove the pressing one bs.

Once logged in under the settings turn off call screening... also make sure that you have the receive text messages box checked or you won't get texts

You can also un-integrate with your sprint account and it will act as a separate number on your phone. I have google voice plus app installed and have it set so that any calls to Canada are dialed with my google voice number and no long distance charges are incurred. All other numbers are dialed with my regular sprint number. Note that if you leave your google voice number integrated with Sprint, all calls will be dialed with google voice. That setting can also be found on the web based settings for google voice under the Phones tab.

[Q] Can anyone replicate this Jelly Bean bug?

If you send multiple messages in a short time (It happened when I sent four real quick to my own number after texting two people for about an hour), there is a system notification that pops up and says "Messaging is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?" along with an Allow or Deny option. I haven't tried to deny, but is anyone able to replicate this?
It is not a bug.
Its a security feature to stop malware sending expensive texts from your phone.

Next thing you know, you won't be able to load web pages too quickly. You know, security feature.
Hopefully this is a bug.
Otherwise... Damnnnn this update is amazing!
guys this is not a bug but hopefully a feature to stop drunk texting
but drunk texting is fun!
Its a feature to stop apps from sending tons of SMS in the background without your knowledge.
It's better than a malware sending thousand of texts using your phone.
i would think.. if the messaging app IS OPEN AND UP.. then.. its not malware.. just saying

Uhmmm that's data usage, and there is a feature so you don't use too much in 4.x+.
This wasn't just in JB btw, also in GB if I remember. Use an SMS bomber to piss my friend off after he called me for like an hour straight.
The difference was that I got that message after 50+ sent texts, not 4 as you get.

I agree this is annoying. Hope someone finds a way do disable it.

texting isn't data
Of course it's not a bug. Would be a very smart and fuctional bug in that case. A wanted bug (for me) for obvious reasons. Didn't even know we had that feature. Would be nice to be able to turn it off at will though.

He wasn't talking about texting. It was pretty clear that it was the sarcastic message that he quoted regarding web page loading that was being addressed.

Use this app. It will raise the amount of texts allowed per half hour to 500 instead of 30.

This will help... go to setting security on the bottom text message limited in 15 min... raise it to 1500 .. and it will be fine
what is "setting security" that you mean? can give me a screenshoot?

Mms picture too large?

So I am using the camera on the phone but not able to text photos once they are taken. How do you send pictures taken with stock camera. I tried bot gosms and stock messenger. Thanks
Sent from my Sony Xperia Ion using Tapatalk 2.
On ICS I just use the camera icon in the message app. Works quite well. Come to think of it I have had no issue sending pics at all. Are you still on stock firmware?
Shouldn't it compress the picture before you send?
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
Yes everything is stock here. I press the quick launch button for the camera, then tried sending with go sms. I asked people if they got the picture and they said no. I tried to resend while on landlines no luck gosms looks like it went through but recipients got nothing. I then went to the stock messaging app and when I tried to send it it said file too large. I am gonna attach the picture. It was a joke to some of my gaming buddies that actually do sell produce so please do not take offense. Thanks for the help.

Sent from my Sony Xperia Ion using Tapatalk 2.
Ok checked Mms settings for go sms. I have preserve image resolution checked. I also have maximum Mms size set to 5m since I am always on 4G or lte. I thought this was for receiving pictures but please check your settings. I want to send and receive high quality pictures back and forth with friends and family thanks

Well the default messaging app doesn't even have mms settings lol. Umm could you send everything fine before you installed go sms.

You may have hit your data limit? Can you take a screen shot of the error message if any comes up? I know for myself, using juice defender pro when I go from no 4g to 4g sometimes I lose all data connection and cannot do anything so if you have an app that cuts off data while your phones screen is off that could do it
Can you send other pictures? Check your Apn settings also to be sure they're right

[APP] 3 Must have apps! (Light Manager, S-pen Gesture, Pop-up browser)

No credit, just found these on the note forum, and thought they were amazing so I'm sharing them here!
Light Manager (Control the LED Notification, simple, easy on the battery. Will upload a picture with the color settings I use as the defaults are not set for our phones.)
Pop-up Browser Invoker - Toss this in your Multiscreen bar, and you can always pop a mini browser up!
[ROOT] BEST APP EVER! I was looking for a way to add a simple Home gesture to the built in commands that the S-Pen has. (Hold button, draw arrow or line) This app will let you set up much better gesture support!
GMD S-Pen Control
Added picture of settings for light manager. Well tried to but the app won't let me. Will try posting a new comment with the pic.
Yeah, I used lightmanager for a couple minutes and was happy that it appears to be our note2 friendly version of lightflow. However that notification in the status bar is way over the rop. Have you found a way to get rid of it?

Hey, first check that that the colors are actually different. Mine has almost exactly the same color as SMS. If it's just not going off at all then please direct your question to the th re ead linked in the OP. I just found these apps, I'm not the dev hehe.

[Q] cm10 mms battery drain

I am currently running cm10 nightlies and updating almost every night. While I love the ROM and the life it brought back into my phone, there is one small issue I am having with MMS. I'm obsessed with battery life so I tend to turn off wifi, 3g, etc. as often as possible. This causes any incoming MMS to attempt to download endlessly, effectively maintaining my phone awake and draining my battery (while not notifying me I might add).
My first attempt at fixing this was disabling the "auto-retrieve" option in the messaging app settings. This did not fix my issue either as my phone will not notify me of the MMS waiting for download, yet still keeps my phone awake.
Sadly, I have resorted to enabling 3g ceaselessly.
So my question is: is there a fix for MMS or am I stuck keeping 3g on at all times?
EDIT: here are some screens.

Don't u get notifications for when u receive mms? Can't u just download the mms everytime u get one and turn off internet right after? There probably isn't an actual fix for this.

That's exactly my issue. I hoped I would get notifications for MMS but I don't. I get the notification that I received an MMS AFTER I download it... Zero notifications at all while the MMS is either waiting for download or attempting to download.
Does anyone else run CM10 on the Epic 4g and have this issue? I can't be the only one...
