ChompSMS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I cannot figure out how/why on my wife's S4, when using chompSMS and having Quick Reply enabled, she gets a text, the Quick Reply window comes up, but takes her out of where she is and opens chompSMS behind the Quick Reply window. Even if I use the Quick Reply window to respond, it still takes me to the chompSMS app. I checked all settings and I am sure they are the same as my Galaxy Note and chompSMS performs fine on my Note. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
MB

You should use go SMS pro. Or SMS pop up for stock messaging app.

I dont use chomp sms but I do use textra sms which is an app in the playstore which was created by the same developers who made chomp sms and it doesnt have this problem. I highly recommend checking it out.

Chomp sms is always having problems like this. I second the suggestion to use go sms pro.

@op you should try out textra like everyone said. The MMS on it is superb

I'm currently using ChompSMS with my GS4 and have not come across this issue. Maybe try un-installing and re-installing the app to see if it fixes the issue? Maybe e-mail Chomp for support as well?

I don't know? I just confirmed it working on mine from my gs4 to an iPhone 4s. You hit the big + button and went to emojis?

I have not had any issues with chompSMS to this point. I am gonna try the uninstall/install thing and see if that works. If I cannot get the issue corrected, I am going with another SMS/MMS provider.

Any problems with textra and MMS? ChompSMS just fixed their MMS issues.

SMS problem with Stock v2.3.3

When I write a long sms (over 3 sms), the stock app converts the sms to mms. Is there a fix/mod?
Its how it is. Issue has been posted to Google since long days and there is no fix. However u can try a third party app called "Go SMS Pro"
Link: I recommend you to use GO SMS Pro v 3.72.
Visit the links from your android phone.
GO SMS Pro v 3.72 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.jb.gosms )
U can send how much ever part message in a single message without it being converted to MMS. I had sent 30 messages in 1 using this app. Also there are tons of other features.
I try Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS and Pansi SMS. But to me the most beautiful the stock app
I agree with jebiga... is there any solution that fixes this issue with stock sms?
stock sms is fine except this one thing...
Haha jebiga...hrvatska

Yes I completely agree that stock SMS app looks a beauty and sleek. But you will later get used to third party app as you use them. As far as I know, there is no fix for stock app.

this is complete bull...I am beyond pissed...why does group text not work???????????? what app are you using? how does group text work on a stock N4 but not a tricked out G2...can;t wait to root this and de-bloat all the garbage
I'm using textra. Seems to work fine
I'm sure it still works on ATT... Verizon doesn't have the option either, but it still works.
negative. when I try to send a group text it just sends to everyone individually
On the verizon G2 under the stock messaging app it gives u options to send to everyone as a mms or as individual txt messages.

im on at&t and this was my issue before on the Gpro.. now i have the G2, its still the same..
on the stock messaging app i can send group text.. the problem lies when those people reply.
instead of putting their replies on the group text thread, the stock messaging app creates individual threads of each persons' replies..
it sucks but oh well.. guess i have to deal with it or download a different messaging app...

You need to enable it in settings. you also need to remeber that those you are sending to need to either have their phone support it or have it enabled as well. or use and 3rd party app like Go sms, or handcent.
i am using the stock app for now, i have it enabled and it sends groups just fine if they meet above settings...
i sent group to my wife and daughters iphone, works just like it should send and receive as group, but it didnt work to my other kids older androids, until we loaded go sms and enabled group text...
THats the thing. I don't even have that option in my settings

Verified: the ATT version does not have a setting like Verizon...completely bogus. Anyway---just downloaded textra and it seems to be working awesome. It's a new, very lean text app and has the group text option in settings. Tested it twice with and works flawlessly. Doesn't seem to be hitting my battery at all either.

I already went thru the settings and there is nothing there. Only LG has this coz i also had the GPro before and its the same. Send group text and recieve individual replies as new thread.
I had alot of android phones samsung, htc, motorola and i didnt have to download a third party app for receiving group text.

Can't see pics with chompSMS?

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to switch to stock messenger to see the pic and then when I go back to chomp it will then show.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Try handcent SMS. I've had problems with chomp in the past and always came back to handcent. The devs are really good about fixing any issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Try Textra...it's made by the same people, and it's fast, fluid, and completely replaced my stock messaging app (I can freeze the stock app with no issues). I've had no issues with MMS in it, like I have with most other 3rd party SMS apps.
+1 for textra I use it as my daily SMS app. I was having problems with other 3rd party SMS apps I would take a picture but it would only send sideways it was stupid with textra it doesn't do that and its light so it makes it fast.

OK, so I'm trying out textra and have made it my default SMS. I'm not receiving notifications or the pop up. I'm getting them in the stock messaging though. Am I doing something wrong? Help is appreciated. Thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
It's a common problem w chomp i fixed it like so...begin by whining your application cache for chomp and stock messenger. ..
Go to your mobile settings and copy the mms settings or whatever...then input those to the chomp app...i also had to enable in the stock messenger "auto retrieve mms"....then in chomp disable that feature that says something like b preserve resolution"... Once all is done reboot and have someone send you a pic. It should work. Give it a few hours i knew mine wouldn't work right away but now it's golden.
No Textra Notification
This happened to me as well. I found that if I have any additional third party SMS apps besides Textra installed, then Textra will not notify me of a new message. Also check your stock messaging app and make sure notifications are turned off there as well.

Lucky you, I've never gotten Sliding Messaging to fully work with MMS, no matter what combination of settings I've tried. It's the reason I jumped ship to Textra (although to be honest I've been using Hangouts for my SMS lately...the only features I'm really missing are the pop-up replies and dark theme).

will this work with 4.3?
it works htc one! this is badass!! thanks m8
It works ok for me but force closes when I send MMS, on a Galaxy Note 3 on 4.3
If anyone has a workaround for the crash please share
They did a lousy job with this new version. There should be a clear distinction between Hangouts and SMS/MMS messaging, and there isn't. They have them all in a gigantic list.
Having a tiny little label for SMS is a terrible way to do this.
Works great on my gs4 tmo

Hangouts V2 works great on my Note 2 running Pac-man 4.3.1. MMS works no FC's only thing is does it only send SMS to a contact that has hangouts installed too? My understanding was it would send to both sorta like iMessage?
works nice on nexus 4, only wish it had an option to customize colors of incoming and outgoing messages
I agree with many people, the Hangouts / SMS integration is a let down Many of us thought it would be similar to the iMessage integration and that was exciting.. Also, let's hope it's faster on the N5 than on my N4. It takes quite awhile to open.. :silly: Google has a long way to go with this app, but let's just hope it gets better soon Enjoying the new SMS UI anyway haha :highfive:

So wait a minute? The Hangouts/SMS integration isn't the same as the iMessage?
Can the Hangouts handle the SMS over data/wifi?

No, basically it's just a merge of the SMS / Hangouts app. There are 2 separate conversation lists for your SMS and your Hangout messages =\
I don't believe so. Anything over data / WiFi would just be a Hangouts message.
Works fine on Sprint HTC One...however, it doesnt notify me of messages. No sound, no vibrate, no notification icon........which kind of defeats the purpose of the app since it disables the stock messengers notifications.

Chomp SMS won't download messages

So I just switched back to a 6T and see that Chomp SMS is still having download issues. I know I can switch to another app but like that Chomp allows a quick reply on the lockscreen.
Any tricks or tips to get it to work?
