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.

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.

+1 textra

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.

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.

I.tried all the suggestions and in the end nothing worked so I jumped ship to Sliding Messenger, which does fine with pics.

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).

It disgust me that there are messaging apps that don't support popup on Android these days especially hangouts

Dual SMS Notifications

I am having a right mare! I use Handcent, however I keep getting dual notifications. One from Handcent and one from the stock SMS App. I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.
I have even gone so far as removing the MMS/SMS App with root explorer and still they persist. It is frankly driving me mental. I want to keep ONLY the Handcent one.
Can anyone suggest anywhere to look? I am rooted with Pauls R10 Modaco ROM!
You forgot to disable notifications from the stock app settings which I believe are connected to but not accessible from the stock settings.

Same issue I had. I went into the stock messaging app, under menu, settings, notifications, unchecked the box. That worked for me.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
As per the original title I have gone into the Stock App and settings menu from there and disabled them and they still pop up.
You actually did not mention that and frankly I'm inclined to believe that it is still the issue as there would be no other reason I can think of why they would be coming up.

On second thoughts I wonder if this is coming from Elsewhere
If I enable notifications in the stock App I get The smiley face symbol with sender name and message, Handcent notification AND a 3rd one which seems to be the problem one. This simply sats You have New Message(s) You have an unread message. Also when the SMS is read this does not go away either
So where the hell is that one coming from LOL?

I wasnt trying to be picky there! Please dont get me wrong! I meant first post which I did state about trying what you suggested from my first post a quote: I have turned off Notifications from within the stock App and still they come through.

You mean when you enable notifications you get a 3rd popup that is the smiley face in a chat bubble? What happens when you open the unknown notification? What app opens? And if its the stock messaging app, try clearing its defaults.
That is correct about the smiley face chat bubble. When the notification pops up it will open up Handcent. I have tried clearing the defaults as well with no joy.
i had this problem when i was using Handcent
so i removed it
now i'm using GO SMS, same as handcent but better, and it does not have the problem that handcent was having
i only get 1 sms/mms alert instead of 2 when handcent is installed

OK I will give that one a bash then see if it solves it.
No joy, GoSMS just crashes on me. I still get the message even after uninstalling Handcent as well with the stock App

Using Modaco r10. Might try another or a fresh install.

Messaging annoyance

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

What msg service r u using. If its 3rd party then u have to ho into stock app and tell iT in settings not to get notifications
I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.
You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well

Sounds silly, but have you looked throug hal lthe Handcent settings?
Becasue all yea raeally need to do with stock is clear the show notifications box.
I finally gave up on third party mms apps and just run stock now. It's fine. I don't need balloons.

SMS APP

Anybody know of a texting app that you can quick compose from the lock screen? I had one on my iPhone and by pressing the volume key it brought up the quick compose box.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
handcent has this feature. And also the same layout as the iphone!
chomp, handcent, and go i believe all have the ablity
Handcent does this for sure.
I use GoSMS, but Handcent and Chomp achieve this too. I tried Handcent and it had some really nice features, I just didn't like the appearance of the app...just personal preference. I haven't tried Chomp, however it looks nice...Just too lazy lol.
I have handcent but how do you set it so the quick reply is used from the lock screen?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I use GoSMS. Im not aware of any feature like this. Handecent or Chomp might have it.

GOSMS does have this option. its in the notifications settings, enable popup windows. then go into default notifications, and check 'unlock screen' and 'screen on'
it doesnt leave the lockscreen locked afterward, but quick reply is cool
an alternative if you prefer to use the stock sms app, you can use an add-on called SMS popup and it has this feature too. i prefer sms pop up myself

ChompSMS

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,

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 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.

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?
