Stop messaging app converting texts to MMS

The Samsung message app converts long messages to MMS which ends ends up costing me. Can this be switched off? The Hangouts messaging app doesn't do this but I prefer the look of the Samsung app (personal preference).

Does anyone know how to stop the Samsung app from converting long messages to MMS?

How to make Google Voice the default messaging app?

I just bought an LG G4 (on Sprint). Google Voice is not an option as the default messaging app (you must choose between Hangouts and the standard messaging app). I have tried a number of suggested tricks to make it work but it appears if I want to use Google Voice, I must also use Hangouts.

I just want to use Google Voice. Short of rooting my phone, is there any way to make Google Voice my default messaging app?

Cannot set Messages as the default messaging app

I am not able to set massages as the default messaging app. Messages app is not displayed in the More Network > Change Messaging app . I tried accessing the same settings for different places but nothing happens. When I start the messaging app , pressing ok doesnt do anything.

I tried
1. Clearing cache and data
2.Reinstalling the apk file.

I am not able to send messages with the second sim. Hangout and messenger defaults to a particular sim.

Notifications disappearing (messaging apps)

Hello everybody,


I got a strange problem occuring only in a certain situation. In order to explain better, have a concrete example here:

I write a message in Whatsapp or Threema. Then I lock the phone by closing the flip cover: The screen then shows the clock from "Asus Flip Cover" and turns off after 5 seconds. So far so good. Now: When I get a message, I hear the notification sound. I open the flip cover and... the notification immediately disappears. So sometimes I miss important messanges, just because of this bug.

At first I thought that it is a third party app that is responsible for this strange behaviour. But yesterday I did a reset of the entire phone via the settings app and didn't even use a backup to restore it. The bug reappeared.

Apparently nobody else is encountering this bug, so before sending the phone back I thought that maybe someone has an idea or even solution for me. The phone is the ZE551ML (not rooted or unlocked) and yesterday I also installed the new firmware (.59); the bug was there since I got the phone, but as I said: I thought it is a third party app that is responsible for this behaviour and I had no time to reset it earlier because of exams and stuff... Is there another way to reset the phone? Maybe a better one than the one over the settings app?


Sincerely,

Christophe

Stock messaging app freeze

Anyone else having problems with the stock messaging app lately? Seems it freezes once a day or so for the past week, requiring a restart to fix. This is occurring before last firmware update, after a cache clean and hardware reset, and after firmware update...at least for me.

Honor x2 default messaging

Any fix for not being able to select contacts without error message? Tetra works fine but would like to use the default messaging....

New Messaging app request.

Hello I was wondering if anyone who has rooted and is on stock can share the new Moto G messaging app please and thanks, either in apk or zip.

Thanks again!

Preferred Sim for Messaging

I don't find preferred sim setting for messaging in the dual sim settings on ZF2!

Everyone knows there is option to choose to send message from sim1 or sim2 when sending the message manually.
But it is needed for messaging (when using tasker or when anyother app wants to send a message from your phone).

Any one have a work around of some kind?

Thanks.

Picture messaging linked from sender.

My previous phone, Nexus 6, had this amazing feature which would string together all photos from each individual sender. Meaning that if you clicked on w photo, from stock messaging app, from a particular sender and wanted to see what other photos they've texted you, whether it was from the same day or a month ago, all you had to do was swipe to the left or right of the photo and it would automatically take you to every other photo that the sender texted you, without having to back out of said photo and go scrolling through all messages to find other photos.
Question is, is there anyway we can get that feature working on the G4? Or could someone point me in the right direction of how I could try to get this working on our G4's. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance everyone.
