"Default SMS" setting missing from "Wireless & Networks > More" - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

"Default SMS" setting missing from "Wireless & Networks > More"
Nexus 5X , Nougat 7.0, stock. Unrooted.
I use Hangouts for SMS (I like being able to see conversations on all my devices)
It used to be that you could set the Default SMS by going:
Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Default SMS App
Apparently Nougat has removed that setting.
I have searched pretty carefully through the various settings screens and I cannot find the new location for this setting.
Thoughts?

It has moved I believe.
Settings > Apps > Click 'cog' icon in top right > SMS App

Nice one, thanks.
FWIW: Installing Allo does *not* change default SMS.

***Does Anyone have a solution to this, I know I'm not the only one***

I have the Att Tilt 2(Rhodium), tried million different roms and connection settings,but no resolution. I can't receive emails over wifi or activesync only over 3G/GPRS, I think i know what i'm doing and went through every connection possibility.
I attached picture to let you guys see, this only happens when i'm connected to wifi or active sync.
P.S i went through every thread on this forum related to this, i think.
Just to let you know everything else works fine on wifi(ie, opera, weather, etc.)
in the email advanced settings you can tell it what network profile to use.
i did that, it's set for internet not medianet
I'm facing a similar problem, does anyone have a solution to it....
Hi
I had this problem a while back, from what I remember, I had to disable the proxy (T-Mobile) under Start > Settings > (Settings tab > Menu > All Settings) > Connections (folder) > Connections (icon) > Manage Existing Connections > Proxy Settings Tab > Uncheck 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
Ensure that the e-mail client is set to connect to 'The Internet' by accessing Menu > Tools > Options... > Select your account > Edit Account Setup > Next > Next > Next > Next > Advanced Server Settings > Network connection (drop-down box) - select 'The Internet' >Done > Next > Next > Finish.
Seems to work for me on WiFi... I think Activesync could be controlled through the 'Allow data connections on device when connected to PC' checkbox in Activesync (or Mobile Center) Device Settings?

[Q] How to fix email sync disabled in settings

Somehow my email (POP3) accounts have been changed from sync to disabled in settings. If I go to settings, accounts, email, all email accounts show sync disabled. If I click on the sync icon my only choice is to manually sync the account.
If I go to email, settings, for each account, sync email is checked and there is an appropriate sync schedule selected.
I find the email is not being checked per schedule, it is acting disabled as it shows in settings and only checks if I manually checked it. It was working properly at some time in the last week or so.
Obviously I must have changed something to cause this, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Any ideas?

When in the email app, settings, per account, above the just 'sync email' button, under ''days to sync,' is it set to automatic? Also the inbox check frequency, make sure its not set on 'never'.

I do not see those settings. I go to email, settings, account, 1st section is common settings, then data usage, then sync settings. In sync settings only thing is sync schedule. I that are the settings for peak, off peak, etc. Am I looking in the wrong place because I can't find what you're referring to.
Note: this is a non-rooted phone running stock JB received OTA.
I've had problems with stock JB phones and enabling Exchange sync (yeah, it's not POP3, but I wonder if it's the same issue?)
Try this: Settings > Data usage > (Hit the Menu button / Action bar [the vertical ... thing]) > make sure "Restrict background data" is UNCHECKED and Auto sync data is CHECKED.

Restrict background data is unchecked, but auto sync data is not. I am checking it now. Hopefully that will do the trick. I'll report back.

Thank you so much -- that did it! I couldn't find the setting I needed.
Glad to hear it!
From my experience, these settings are set by certain carriers or phone mfgs on JB ROMs (I've seen it mostly on Verizon devices though), since you said you did an OTA, that's probably what changed it. Apparently they want to prevent people from using data or something

It wasn't the OTA that broke it. I did the OTA immediately before setting anything up and the email sync was definitely working then. Something since then (maybe something I installed?) caused.
Oh well, at least its fixed now and I now know where to look for the setting.
thank you so much, this worked for me,,,, after fixing these settings, I was able to go back to the email client, and fix those settings and everything worked,,, God bless you
This has started happening to me this weekend and I've no idea why... I've had to turn on email syncing 3 times.

Missing "more networks" in settings for added user

To get cloud printing to work I needed to use the printing option in the "more networks" settings on my 12.2. It works fine. However I have added a user and, when logged in as that user, there is no "more networks" section in settings and I can not get Google cloud printing to work. Any thoughts?

Facebook messenger app crash

Hi,
When I go to settings in Facebook's Messenger and go to "Notifications & Sound" > "Notification sound" the app crashes. If I go to Facebook's Messenger and go to "Notifications & Sound" > "Ringtone" is works just fine (the 2 options are kinda similar)
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the app with the same result. I have also just updated to 10.0.7, no difference.
Anyone else has issues with this?
