I've been having lag recently withing the SMS app. I will open it up and it's slow/sluggish and it takes my contacts pictures a while to load.
I know there are SMS apps like Handcent and Chomp, but I'm not a big fan of them. They've deleted all my texts multiple times and the interface looks cheap to me.
I delete my SMS threads every week or so and I do not have a lot of MMS messages in these threads. Does anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, have a fix for it?
Thanks.

I use handcent every day since the DX was released and it has never deleted any of my texts...and you can change the interface as well. And for what it's worth, haven't noticed any lag with it either. I just love the quick reply
Had a similar problem with my contact list...it was because I had removed atcmd.apk. Have you removed any bloatware?
Handcent > Stock messaging app
And if it deleted all your texts, you probably hit the delete button
I have removed bloatware so I'll need to check into that.
As for Handcent; it deleted all of my SMS messages twice. It originally did it to my friend, but I figured he was the one at fault. Shortly after that my texts got deleted. This never happened on the Droid X, only on the original Droid.
I just don't like the way the Handcent interface looks on my X, even though the stock SMS app is hideous in its own right.
i agree with you whole heartedly. i dont like chomp or handcent.. i know a lot of people do.. good for them. but i really want just the stock android 2.2 messaging.
I have the same problem. If I get a text notification and I select it from the pull down notification bar it takes forever to load. I've used hand cent and I got even more loading lag with that app so I uninstalled it. I'm wondering if its my conversation sizes or I'm running or of ram

How does DX handle deleted messages? I was just wondering bc I am used to Sense on WinMo and I would delete my messages - but then I noticed one day it stored all my deleted messages as well. Go figure.
Does DX work the same way? (haven't got mine yet) I mean could it be that you have hundreds of deleted texts hiding somewhere waiting to be emptied like on HTC Sense/WinMo?
I just wanted to let you guys know that I installed the MMS.apk package from the original Droid Cyanogen 5.0.8 build, and it works swimmingly. I used Titanium Backup to backup and remove the Motorola Text Messaging app and have seen no issues.
Also, if any of you have had a problem with receiving messages 2 or 3 at a time, (duplicates) this solved that problem for me.
hey where can i get my hands on that MMS.apk? please
I am not receiving all texts when under CM7. I have my phone integrated with Google Voice but the texts also come to the stock text message app. In CM7, I will not receive all of the texts, but as soon as I flash back to Synergy, I start receiving the ones I didn't receive before.
Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it? I would really like to use CM7.

I had the same problem...
I have been having a lot of trouble sending mms on cm7.1
I love cm, but I need full functionality and I'm starting to think it is a deal breaker. Anyone know a fix?
Guys, If you are rooted is it possible to modify the APK and make the screen not turn on when I get a text? Today I spammed one of my friends with strange contact attachments and about 7 random texts because he texted me while phone was in pocket, phone unlocked and sent him a bunch of stuff.
I remember on the S3 somebody modified the APK and it allowed this. I don't like the other apps such as Go SMS and Handcent because I feel like they dont look as nice.
Hope somebody figures this out. Extremely annoying

Use GO SMS for the moment it does not flash the screen.
Any modification to stock messenger yet?

I also am having this issue....I like the stock messenger but hate that the screen turns on and then while in my pocket the phone turns on and either sends random texts or opens applications I don't want opened draining my battery. I was on Shostock with my S2 and there was a mod that allowed a screen on/off toggle in the stock messenger on it so I was wondering if someone has done this for the S4 as well? I can't flash a rom thanks to being on MF3 but I have root.
Also I have thought about using messengers from the market like handcent but do they have a bigger impact on the battery then the stock messenger?
I've been using Sliding Messaging and whenever I send a text, it will not send and simply show the sending icon over and over again. It only happens once in a while and doesn't happen every single time.
I've contacted the Dev and he basically told me it wasn't the app's fault and it's something to do with another app, however, even on fresh flashes I still get this issue and it's never occurred with the stock messaging app.
I use CM10.2 Nightlies and I've had no other issues with any other part of the phone. So I'm curious, has anyone else had these problems/issues occur with the Sliding Messaging app?

I'm running a slimmed down ricks rom with default sms removed but I'm still getting contact pictures when I receive sms notifications. I was wondering if one knew how to get rid of the pictures I've tried 8sms and chomp. If I set the privacy to strict they go away but I want to be able to see who is texting me with out the pictures.
