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.

Just thought of another old touchwiz issue. Can you disable notifications for SMS within the messaging app? Its a google voice thing.
Thanks.

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

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.

I use a third party messaging app called "textra" but when I text another android user on AT&T his messages only show up in the stock messaging app. How do I fix it?

I love Textra for messaging! Have you tried re-syncing the messages again in Textra? In Textra go to Settings, About, and click on Resync Textra.
I usually do that after I restore my messages using Titanium. Some will show up and others wont. The Resync option fixes the messages right up for me.
I have my default messaging app setup to use Textra but ever now and then I get text that come through on the LG messaging app. Is there a way I can stop that from happening?
I use Textra as well; I just disabled the messages app and have had no problems.

Thanks, I can force stop the LG messaging app but it's not letting me disable it.
Confirm Textra is set as default messaging app. Sometimes a setting doesn't stick.

Might help to clear the cache in the Textra app and the stock messaging app, and then reboot.
I use Textra as the default app and this just started happening for only one sender I get his notifications in the default Android app which I cannot disable. All other message senders come through in Textra

It could be a bug.
Perform any updates and if the issue still persists, do a factory reset.

What could very well be happening is that that sender is sending you RCS messages. Right now textra doesn't handle them but the stock messaging app does.
To deal with this, go into the messaging app settings and turn off Advanced Messaging (not sure of the exact option name). This way your phone will not advertise itself as being able to accept RCS and the other person's phone will know to send you regular old sms.
