New new version of Hangouts has SMS and MMS integrated into it. I was wondering whether Hangouts stores SMS on servers, or if you wipe your phone and install a new ROM the SMS is gone, just like the stock SMS app?
SMS are gone when clean flashing a different ROM. Use SMS Backup and Restore.

Hi,
I've just flashed into a Korean ROM and this firmware has some wierd SMS thing.
One thing that I most hate about this SMS thing is that there is no option of selecting SMS under contacts.
I think the original SMS application on X1i is alot better.
Does anyone know if there are other SMS applications or is there a way to install the native SMS?
Please help.. Thanks.
Dear All,
This problem is rather strange. I have an issue with my stock message app. It can receive and send SMS for the most part
The problem is, I can't seem to receive any SMS from one particular number only.
I can, however, send an SMS to that same number. It is receiving texts that are problematic.
I have checked with that other phone already, and it was able to send and receive SMS to another phone (not mine), without issue. Hence the problem appears to lie with my phone.
Of course, I can't say if there are other numbers from whom I can't receive SMS, but can only send, but this is something that I of course will not be able to know for sure.
Help please!
ADDITIONAL:
I am now using Hangouts, but it is not very intuitive. It does not have search capabilities. But at least when i use hangout as my default messaging app, i can receive text messages from that particular number. I tried going back to the stock messaging app, but the problem is still there and this problem is present each time i attempt to revert to the stock samsung app as the default messaging app. Hangouts is presently the default messaging app, so i can receive SMS from the particular number.
Hope you can help identify the issue here. Thanks.
I'm trying to synch Hangouts app as my default SMS provider, but there's no way in this ROM!
My problem is that I don't want to use two apps with notifications when one of them is capable of doing both tasks. When I had my nexus 5, I used to send and receive SMS only by using Hangouts (an app that I also use for many other things), but now I don't have any SMS options: Neither an option to choose the default app for SMS in my system nor a function in Hangouts to add my SMS number as an account.
Does anyone know how to sort it out?
Thank you!
Hangouts just removed SMS capability. You need a switch to a new SMS app.
But the last version of Hangouts of my Nexus has SMS capability, how can I get a similar version?
Hi Guys,
I have imported my SMS messages from iOS to my new OnePlus 5 and I am facing a strange issue.
I have used iSMS2droid with a backup from iTunes and also SMS Backup and Restore. The weird thing is the messages show up only in the OxygenOS stock messages app and not in Google Messages. Also they are not grouped correctly (some SMS from the same number show up in different threads) and they are not ordered by date.
Any help would be really appreciated. I've already tried to delete them and re-import from SMS Backup and Restore but with no luck.
Thank you
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and I'm using the stock Samsung messaging app. I am now trying to switch to the Google SMS messages app. I have switched back and forth between these apps a very long time ago although I can't remember when the last time was that I did it.
Now when I enable the Google SMS messages app as default, all of my incoming texts show up but none of my outgoing texts are there although they are all still there in the Samsung SMS app. I have tried using two different backup programs and both seem to be only backing up my incoming messages. I have tried clearing the cache on the new SMS app. I tried using Textra and Handcent just to make sure it isn't specifically the Google Messages app. Same issue. I really would like to switch to the Google app but I cannot lose the text messages.
This is very clearly an issue with the stock Samsung SMS app, I'm just hoping there's some kind of work around. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Suggestions are appreciated
Which sms backup apps did you use?
I used SMS Backup and Restore, SMS Backup+ and Super Backup and Restore.
I use SMS Backup and Restore and have no problems backing up both outgoing and incoming messages. Did you check the backup files? When I view them, I see my outgoing texts as well as the incoming texts. When I switched to Google Messages from Samsung's on the S8, I had no issues with seeing my outgoing texts. When I upgraded to the S10+ and restored my texts from SMS Backup and Restore, it restored everything, not just incoming texts.
