Hi.
I'm a fairly recent convert to Android, having come from the iphone. I have 1 complaint which is all my text messages containing emoji are sent as mms. This is an issue because I have to pay for mms while sms are free. I'm using the default messaging app and SwiftKey keyboard.
Is there any way round this?

Click in MENU button and select "Insert smiley" when u will be writing a SMS. This are the unique emoji u can send in SMS.

Trying to find an app for quick replying to sms messages. I installed sMs popular from the play store and it works except the messages still show unread. Also the contact pictures don't show up. Anyone know of a better app to use?

sms popup
i really liked the one from cm10 tho
Sliding Messaging is great for anyone coming from AOSP ROMs with the expanding notifications, quick reply/mark read, and breathing status bar notifications.
I had to manually edit the MMS APN settings within the app to get it fully functional, but now I'm able to send/receive MMS + group MMS perfectly.
I use GoSMS Pro, but SMS Popup works great as a standalone app.

I have a quick question. Is there a way to force a "text" message to be sent as MMS instead of SMS using the stock messaging app? It looks like right now, if the message is all text, then only after the 6th 140 character message will it convert to MMS, otherwise it stays on SMS and splits it into 6 SMS messages. I want to choose to convert it sooner if I want. Is that possible? I know that if I insert a picture then it will convert to MMS immediately, but I want text ONLY MMS. Thanks!

Don't know why you want to force txt mssg to be sent as MMS but there is a setting in stock messaging app that combines all the split mssgs to be send as one whole mssg. Don't know if this what you want tho.

Create a google voice number. Then use that number with whoever you want to text as a group text. It'll become MMS instead of SMS for group texting.
why is it that adding emojis automatically converts a txt message into a multimedia message? i literally have to turn data on to send one message with an emoji. ive used a nexus 5 before and it didnt convert txt messages with emojis into miltimedia msgs.

I'm using Google Hangouts to receive my sms and mms texts. However, I'm still receiving double message and notofocations as my stock sms app is also receiving the sms. How do I disable this so I only receive this through Google Hangouts?

Thanks for the Info, but I have read in other Forum that the users have problem with this solution, for Example the user can not send an mms. If I disable under the settings the stock sms app, then can I send sms and mms too?
The message will still show up in message app. Go to application manager find stock messaging and disable the notifications for it. And you're sorted

Thanks for the Info, If I understand you correctly, I should turn off only the notification (and not disable the stock sms app) in the stock sms app.
If I delete one of the message in the stock message app, than it will be deleted too in Hangouts?
Yes and yes

Hi does anyone know what I can do to fix my text messages that are coming in out of sync. If I send a message then the one I receive is being put ontop of my original message and its putting them in different places in the text
