On my Nexus 5 my SMS's showed up in Hangouts.
With my Galaxy S5 I have to install an SMS app just to see any texts that come in.
I would rather use Hangouts if possible?

Did you turn on SMS in the app's settings?
Open Hangouts app > Settings > SMS > Turn on SMS.

Guys,
i just installed the Go SMS Pro, which is a very good app, but whenever i receive an sms or mms, the default sms reader app still active, even though i set the Go SMS pro to be the default. It's like i'm receiving the sms twice.
I would like to stay only with the GO SMS PRO on, is there a way to turn off the app?
Please take a look into the description

Just use Titanium Backup or whatever to remove it.
OR
- To avoid double notifications, you must disable notifications of other SMS applications

Hi,
I have searched high and low and am yet to find a definitive answer about how to get it to work.
People saw that you can use Handcent & also GO SMS to do group messaging but I am yet to be able to get it to work, is there a step by step guide by someone who is actually able to get the Grouped SMS to work. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 4S and I have stopped using the S3 until I can get it to work as it does on the iPhone.
I apologise if my searching was not exhaustive!
Thanks
Matt
Threaded SMS is already enabled by default.
You want group messaging.
Go into GoSMS settings and make sure you have Group Messaging options turned on. There are options in the Advanced menu under the Send and Receive settings.

I am at work and the phone is at home but I am pretty sure it was already turned on. Are you able to send Group Messages on yours? Are there any other settings I need to have turned on or off?
Does your nexus change the text message to a MMS when adding more than one recipient?
I understand it does when sending a very long message but this is even before adding any text.
Yes, it's "normal".
What would the benefit of that be?
If you're on a custom ROM it's probably your texting app
Change your settings
Open the MMS app > Settings > Look under "Multimedia (MMS) Messages"> Uncheck " Group Messaging"

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

I just integrated my Sprint number with Google Voice hoping that I would be able to text from Galaxy S4, Nexus 7, or Chrome extension. This seemed to work, but I would get duplicate threads from the same person. I read where showing "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" with Sprint integration will cause problems (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/6023920?p=voice_sms&rd=1). When I turn that off my duplication problem seems to go away. This puts my texting back to the way it was before integration (buys me nothing). I am not really interested in any of the Google Voice functionality. I would like to receive SMS/MMS from all my platforms and thought integration would provide this. Can this be accomplished and I am missing something? Running Galaxy S4 with SACS-NG2 at the moment, but also run CM11-M9.
my wife runs integrated gVoice on a S4 mini with no problems. She uses Hangouts for everything.
Never had a duplication issue.
Did you make hangouts your default messaging app? If not, this could be the cause of your duplicate messages.

Hangouts is my default messaging app. Duplication is related to "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts", but without that can't send/receive texts from my tablet.

Does she have "SMS & voicemail in Hangouts" checked?

Disable Hangouts and go to whatever app you were using for messaging. Enable that app and uncheck notifications in its settings. Reenable Hangouts. I have noticed for some reason when Hangouts is enabled it does not disable notifications from other messaging apps. You have to enable the old app to disable notifications and then go back to Hangouts and enable it.

It's not a notification problem. The texts are duplicated or the sender will be duplicated with one message blank.
