Hi all. Quick question. Using Textra as default app. For some reason when I look at messages on my watch it only shows one side of the conversation. It will show my response but not the other person text. I have also tried it with other apps like pulse. Same issue.
hello, same thing for me and textra. and my responses are send twice.
Thanks.
Galaxy Watch messaging works fully only with native Samsung messaging apps: sms and e-mail
With other apps like Textra only notifications are sent to watch
I passed the samsung messaging by default, then go back to textra and I now have the two people. surely a coincidence but it works. in any case, whether it is one or the other application, it only displays two weeks of messages.

Is there any way to have the HTC Messages app have the notification for an SMS continue every X minutes? I use SMS alerts for work and can't miss them. I know the Verizon one has an option but that thing is a hideous mess.
Any clean/minimal alternative SMS app that has this feature?
Update:
Tried 8SMS, Hello SMS, Hoverchat and none of them had that feature. However the Missed Call Reminder app looks like it will do what I want. Also, Hoverchat is pretty sweet, I think I am going to use it.

I like Textra as a good SMS app, and it can continue to remind you about SMS notifications every X minutes as long as X=2, and as long as you don't need to be reminded more than ten times. I have written to them asking them to make that two minute reminder period user-definable and also to see if they might extend the options on the number of reminders to include one that would keep them repeating endlessly as well. They were receptive to the ideas, so we'll see.
I may have to check out that Missed Call Reminder App. I've been using Phone Alarm, but I'm not sure it's really doing everything I'd like it to do properly.

Before I switched to sprint I had used T-Mobile LG G3. The default messaging app split long text messages into two or three, and I received long messages in similar chunks. But I used the Textra messaging app and it ceased to do that. Long messages sent as one as well as receiving 500+ character text.
Now, being with sprint the problems have re-appeared and I an unable to fix it. Textra does not change the sms limits so I send multiple text to friends and likewise with receiving. This is not a huge issue just a major inconvenience and a nuisance.
Are there setting I'm messing, apps that will help, anything i can do to keep long message as one? Please and thank you for your help.
I think it's a Sprint issue. I've been with them for a long time and always remember this happening. However, if there is a fix, I'd love to know it also.

Sprint has the 160 character limit for SMS texting. If you want to text longer messages as a single message, you either need to use an instant messaging app like Google Hangouts (though those require the recipient to also have the messaging app), or find a texting app that can convert long messages to MMS if it goes past the 160 character limit. These solutions will convert the SMS to MMS or other forms of data, though, so just be aware of that if you have some sort of data limit.
If the converting SMS to data is not a viable solution, a quick google search revealed this app: BigSMS, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skezza.main&hl=en.
It supposedly can make long texts, but I have never used it myself, so I can't comment on if it works or not.

As I said before, I used Textra in the past and my messages were sent as one and I received long messages as one. I recently downloaded EvolveSms which fixed the issue of my messages being split by converting them into MMS (which i have no problem with at all) but I still got 4 separate chunks of their message. I know there's an option to reassemble split messages but it seems to not be working. I'll go to a sprint store to see if there's an issue there or not.

Ok, Good luck with with the Sprint customer rep. The split SMS thing never bothered me since I've been on Sprint for a very long time. However, I did a quick google search, and it does seem like some devices have native support for recombining received SMS messages, like the Sprint Galaxy S 5, so it does look like it can work. Hopefully they can do it on the G4 as well.
I have Samsung galaxy S2 upgraded to 4.1.2 … Tests here apply to my machine, but you can be sure, they can be repeated on a lot of other phones. I can not be sure on which one.
When you have several SMS apps, if you sent SMS by one app, randomly one of the other apps sent same SMS again. Each app sent once… but phone sent in double, so network operator charge in double.
In table bellow in red I mark, where this issue is very likely. Example: You sent SMS with the stock ‘messaging’ app… then … these apps will potentially try to sent the SMS too… zero sms, chomp sms, go sms pro, kk sms, easy sms, messenger.
(The image will be added in some different time.)
It is likely, in different times, different programs to be activated. On more modern phones, downgraded to older android, it will be no odd; single SMS to be sent in triple, four times or more.
Usually, if you have bystander apps what sent SMS, they can try to be in service for you and turn on your 2G by themselves and promptly do them job. They no care if SMS created in other app. They just want to be in service to you. This is serious bug in most SMS apps, I know how to fix it, but let SMS apps developers contact me for details.
I notice odd cases. Here described.
Textra mark messages by other programs like sent. But they are not sent. The message sent by textra is invincible to other programs, before sent.
Inside the chomp program, messages sent over chomp are well… but other SMS apps see these messages like sent by the receiver. Some apps detect these messages like not sent, and it is unclear how they’ll send them. This research, I do it without to send SMS, because it is difficult to hunt this problem down to minimal details. Each time, different apps are activated. We are in multitask environment.
Go SMS pro import spam in the conversations. Textra filter this spam in separate conversation.
Next SMS is jealous. It do not love SMS composed in competition app. But SMS by Next are well accepted by these other apps. And they kindly can try to be in service.
Other apps see messages composed in Messenger like already sent.
Resume. SMS apps are not well designed to work cooperatively each with another.
Solution. Chose your favorite SMS app, only disable the stock SMS app, and leave single active SMS app in the phone.
Do you know better way to upgrade SMS functionality compared to replace the stock app with other one? ( Example: how to replace it with two apps? ) Let me know, in reply to this post.
Just now, chomp complained with special notification to me that it wasn’t able to sent the SMS composed in five other programs. All doubts are definitely gone. Once again: SMS apps are very friendly, industrious in care for your job, they do it in double. You compose in one… SMS sent by other, etc…
I have been having this issue since yesterday morning where as the title describes that hangouts is taking priority over messages. I literally will not receive messages unless hangouts is selected as the default app. I was thinking that this may have been started once I got a bunch of updates through the play store. However, I uninstalled updates and disabled Hangouts attempting to force the problem to stop. This to no avail.
So is anyone else running into issues such as this. Or, does anyone have any advice as to how I could remedy this issue. I know it is quite silly, but I love being able to use GIFs while texting people and hangouts doesn't support googles GIF keyboard for some reason.

This is a tough one. I've been there before but it was a while ago and I found the answer I believe on G+ but let's see if we can get you back on track here. Under settings->apps-hangouts what shows under SMS app? Click it and make sure at the bottom that sms app is showing Messages. Also in the Hangouts app itself go to settings and make sure SMS is disabled. Let's start there.

So yeah I have already done that. Messages will send the message, but the received message will come in through Hangouts. I am going to do a factory reset when I get home (the wifi at my office is terrible). I will see if that makes any difference. I hate to have to resort to that, but I wasn't having this issue prior to the most recent updates.
So I figured out the problem. I am on Project Fi. Within hangouts there is a setting in accounts that takes all calls and SMS through hangouts. Turned that off and now I am good.
hi,
i didn't get to finish the title. i just got a 5x, and previously have had an n5. both seem to have the same problem with the native android messaging app (used to be messenger, now it's android messages). anyway, if i'm talking on the phone, i get no audible notification of an incoming text. i get them for emails, map directions, etc, but not the texts.
i believe i tried this query a couple years ago, to no avail. i'm just checking to see if anyone knows of a setting i can try to accommodate this simple request, without having to download some third party messaging app.
thanks

When I'm on a call, I get a silence all notifications icon on the top of my phone. I prefer to not hear anything, I'd check in the phone app settings.
