Curious as to what everyone is using on the z3c for regular SMS and MMS i know that hangouts messages are a chat and therefore use data so curious if people that dont do that very often just forgo using hangouts as a general?
Both are the same ..delete hangouts its bloatware

Textra here. The stock messaging app is lacking in features like group MMS.
Textra also.

Textra is like the stock messaging app but on steroids. Pretty lightweight and loaded with customization features and options to fine tune what you what in a SMS/MMS app.

Hangouts... I like the integration

Hangouts for all, also using the Dialer for voLTE calls.
Hangouts is a pretty awesome, all-in-one app, not just for texting, but instant messaging, voice chat, video chat, and regular phone calls. And gifs!

Is Textra Sms only or does it also get actual Hangouts messages?

MySMS. I use it for cloud text backup and notifications on my tablet and PC.
Hangouts.
Textra FTW! ?
I've been using Go SMS Pro because of the group messaging (most of my friends have iPhones). I haven't been happy with it because it gets laggy when there is a lot of activity going on. I will check out Textra!
Hangouts is still not that great, but I use it. Where the hell is the search feature in Hangouts?
I did never used Hangouts for sms. What are the prons in it? I tried it now, but I see nothing special in it.

Well for those who need group messaging, the stock Sony SMS client is not an option. Hangouts is as good a choice as any to most people.
Personally, I've been using the leaked Messenger app from Lollipop.
I'm using the 5.0 Lollipop MMS app

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are the hangouts SMSs get saved to google servers automatically and can be restored?

That it's all in 1 app now lol.
I'm currently in a group message with two people, and while I am able to see both replies, the names aren't differentiated between causing it to seem as if one person is sending all of the messages. Anyone else having this issue? I'm currently using Textra and will go back to the stock messaging app to see if that fixes it.
Or try hangouts as default sms

I use Verizon's Message+ as my default text messaging app. When I send a group message to others, I receive the replies (from iPhone users) as a DOWNLOAD. If I click on it, it says Downloading but nothing comes through.
I have read that some people have this problem if they switched over from an iPhone and were using iMessenger. I've always had an Android, never an iPhone.
I have tried using stock messenger and same thing happens. It appears this started when I starting using the 6P, didn't have this issue with previous phones.
Do you have to hit a download button for videos and photos sent to you?
No.

Huh, odd. My thought was that perhaps MMS auto-retrieve is disabled since group messages are usually MMS. If not, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Auto-reply is active. I'm wondering if it could be:
1) an updated version of iOS?
2) Nexus 6P and Verizon not working together nicely?
There is already a thread on this topic. Verizon messages is screwed up in the latest update. You need to find the apk for version 6.02 for messenger to work with MMS.
Great! Thanks for the info.

I am curious what other Nexus 6p owners are doing with the default Messenger app verses Hangouts to send SMS. On my Note 4 I was using Hangouts. But I read that Google is going to be removing SMS handling from Hangouts. (link) So I am a bit inclined to not use Hangouts anymore for SMS, and just use the two applications separately. I like Hangouts. I redirect no answer calls to my GV number for voicemail, which appears in Hangouts nicely. I'll probably use it for SMS as long as I can, but was willing to try out the stock Messenger application. What does everyone else do for SMS, voice mail, etc?
Stock. Used to use QKSMS or Textra but switched to Evolve SMS all when on my Note 4.
Since switching to Nexus I just use stock. Does the job and looks good.

Same. I was a Textra user on everything pre 6P but have switched to Messenger post 6P.

I currently using Textra. I was rocking stock for a while but I hate the way quick reply takes the whole screen. It's so unnecessary and annoying. I wish they would change it
i was using hangouts for a while since it started handling SMS...and really liked it BUT
once Messenger came out i switched. I wish hangouts looked/worked at smooth as messenger.... maybe in a future update in which it gets better i will....
I use messenger over hangouts for the quick reply feature. I also don't like how it takes up the whole screen, but it's better than not having it at all. I miss the old feature from PA (hover) that let you open any notification in a floating window

i'm using stock messenger as well. Never did try it with Hangouts, I just didn't feel the need
I use hangouts because:
- Chat/IM/Text/Call in one app is convenient
- I can do all the above on any device without pulling out my phone
I'll be bummed if I have to resort to a separate text app.
Wow, I am surprised so many people don't use Hangouts for SMS. I guess it was pretty buggy at first. Hmmm. I will look into Textra. But probably will try out Messenger for a while at least.
i did use hangouts, ever since they merged it, but yesterday got the 6p, thought i would give messager a go, and i found i do like how well it works.
I use to like hangouts because I liked how they integrated a lot of things and the UI looks nice. I text a lot and when I tried to delete 2000-3000 texts (group text chat) it would take forever, freeze, or never delete them at all. So now i'm using the google messenger and i'm happy with that.

I only use Hangouts! I'll beleave it when I officially see Google remove SMS from Hangouts.
Personally I'm using YAATA as my sms app. You can find it on XDA / google it. Pretty smooth app.
Is Google voice merged into messenger now?
I use Messenger because of the colorful material look and different colors per contact. It looks nice paired with Flat Style Keyboard. I also wouldn't be able to go without quick reply.
