Hi all!
Since upgrading to Nougat, my stock SMS app does not retain recently used emoticons anymore. Small issue, I know, but a bit annoying. They are there immediately after use, but as soon as I switch to another app, they disappear.
Anybody has the same issue?
Cheers!
As this behavior seems to be app-specific, I installed QKSMS and Textra, which don't seem affected. Both great apps, not sure which one I'll keep.

My One V is rooted but running the standard firmware. Problem is the default HTC text / SMS app. It often refuses to fully open (stays half open on white screen) or takes a minute or two to fully open. In addition "unread sms" notifications are not correctly update (I open a message but it still stays 'unread').
I have deleted all but a hundred or so messages in case there were too many.
I have removed all non-stock launchers and the like.
Situation improves after a reboot but only for one or two uses then the SMS app is back to misbehaving.
Phone is fully up to date apart from last minor (22mb) OTA update - that will not install for some reason.
Any suggestions anyone? I can live with everything else on the phone but this fault is really annoying.
Thanks in advance...
I suggest you back up everything and do a factory reset that should help

Thanks for the suggestion. I want to avoid that hassle if I can.
I am trying now the "Chomp SMS" app instead of the normal one. No lag or hangs so far
Some say it's that one the best: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result&hl=en
Thanks, I might try it if the Chomp one does not work out. I tried the Go Launcher and some other of their apps before but was not too impressed. Not too fast, left many folders on the phone when un-installed etc.
So far the Chomp SMS app works fast and is easy to customize. It does show ads however unless I pay.
Hey guys,
I just have a small issue. There's this little arrow that appears before every text message in the status bar. I've tried clearing my messages, freezing all recently installed apps via Titanium Backup, and trying different SMS apps. After all these steps, I've found that the stock Galaxy s3 Messaging app is the only thing affected. If you can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

NEVER MIND. Solved my own problem! Turned out I didn't fully uninstall some emoji font. That's what happens when you try to accommodate iOS devices into your social life.
Hi all,
I have a brand new Huawei Ascend P6 with the latest update and I have two isssues with it.
More importantly, I don't receive notifications from Hangouts. This is despite the fact that the respective box for notifications is checked just like it should be, and all relevant settings are also enabled. All other notifications such as Gmail, SMS, etc. are working just fine, it's just the Hangouts that I'm having problems with. Perhaps reverting to Gtalk would help, but I have no idea if that's possible at all.
Second, sometimes it takes five or even more attempts to open Gmail attachments (simple jpgs). Any ideas as to how to resolve the issues, the first one in particular?
Thank you
Tomas
Ever since December 23rd or so, when I first rooted my stock Nexus 5X, Google Messenger has been behaving strangely. Long SMS messages have seemingly random characters attached to the end of them, which do not show up on the sender's end. The most common is a "¿", but occasionally I get a delta ∆ on the end. I cannot find anyone else with this problem either here or elsewhere online. Does anyone have ideas? It's not necessarily a problem, but it is a mysterious inconvenience.
I am running the latest update of Marshmallow (stock ROM), with systemless root (SuperSU 2.61 I believe) and TWRP recovery. Nothing else out of the ordinary. This did only become a problem after rooting my phone, which may be part of the problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: it should be noted that while these are valid characters, they do not appear when searched for with Messenger's built-in search function.
just to be sure: these symbols appear on your end after receiving a sms? in that case it would be interesting to know what phones/apps the sender of those uses.
if this is the case with sms you have written, it could be useful to know what keyboard/input method you are using. did you restore your sms' and/or the messenger app from a previous backup?
first thing you could try is clearing the app data and maybe de-/reinstalling possible updates of it.
interested to see how your case turns out, since i never heard of anything like this.

Yes, they are on my end. It has happened so far with iPhone and Android senders using their stock messages application. And I have already cleared cache/data for Messenger with no change. It is a most unusual problem. I may just try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Also seeing this behavior occasionally, from both iPhone and Android senders. Haven't been able to figure out a pattern yet as it's only happened three times so far (three different senders, one time each). It's the strangest thing. I wish Messenger had some sort of bug reporting utility, since I've found several already.

I have switched to Textra indefinitely, as this does not solve the problem, but does support many features that Messenger is lacking. If you find a way to submit a bug report, I would be interested in that information
Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I have a Pixel 2 XL(obviously) and had been on the Android beta program for some time now. The android p beta had been running really solid for me with no issues. So when they pushed it out officially last week i of course went for it. However, all of a sudden now, when *sending* texts, it gives me a notification sound (same as incoming notification). Anyone run into this? I searched the forums briefly but didnt see anyone with the issue although I couldve missed it.
Note- I'm using the Google Messages(I believe thats the official name) app, I just prefer it to Hangouts. I did check the settings, and disabled the setting for outbound notification sounds- but it persists.
Here's the kicker- it cant be isolated to just me, as my mom has the same phone -she messaged me last week and asked if she should update (I'm typically the guinea pig) and I said yep, been rock solid for me.. now she's getting the exact same behavior. So barring it being the messages app itself which i suppose is possible, I dont know.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I havent tried a different messenger app yet, suppose I could(textra maybe), I'm just partial to this one for whatever reason.
Thanks in advance!
Disregard. I guess its specific to Android Messages app. Installed another text app and the issue went no longer occurs.
I have the same issue with my Android Messages app
