Is there any way to unassociate a file-program relationship?
Allow me to elaborate...
I used handcent for texting on my g2. I sold that yesterday and got a mt4g, but I have a problem. When I installed it on my g2 and first opened a text, a message popped up and asked me which program I wanted to use and I clicked handcent. Ever since then I never had a problem with it on my g2, it would always open my texts with handcent. But when I opened a text on my mt4g it didn't ask but I didnt think anything of it at first. But i noticed now that when I get a text, i get 2, one for the stock app and one for handcent. Is there any way to "unassociate" the program with the text files? So then my stock messaging app won't work? i also tried going to "manage applications" and tried to uninstall the stock app but the box is greyed out and you cannot delete it, nor did I know if this was a good idea or not.
TIA
Disable notifications in stock app and you should be good to go.
1. Go to Manage Apps, find stock messages.apk and click the "Clear Defaults" button at the bottom
2. Use titanium if you wanna freeze or uninstall Messages.apk (not recommended since messages.apk have the auto-retrieve option for SMSs)
3. And yes disable any notifications in Settings of stock app
When you browse normally phone numbers appear as links that bring up the dialer. They are missing, the phone brings up the default messaging app. How can I restore the dialer links?
Got it figured out had to clear the defaults in the messaging app. Fyi it was opera giving me trouble when I checked the stock browser it worked fine.
Ps it was the wifes phone rofl.
Hi all,
I hope I'm in the right forum, wasn't sure.
I've done a few searches and cannot find a solution.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505), which recently had stock android on it (rooted).
I installed CM11 M9 onto it a few days ago, but since then, I cannot receive text messages. I can only send.
This has been confirmed by putting my simcard into my old SGS3 (with stock), and it sends and receives text messages fine.
I've done the *#*#4636#*#* trick, clicking refresh and update for the SMSC, which comes up as Telstra +61418706700
When I run the default messaging app, it forced closes. I usually run Textra.
I have disabled Voice+ as I heard this could be the cause of the issue, but did not make any difference.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I need to receive all my text messages...

You should post your question here:

Since the app is force closing, I guess it's a bad download or flash. Take a nandroid and do a clean flash...:good:

Thanks,
I'll check it out
Have reverted back to stock so I can check my messages, do some backups and give the whole thing another shot with a clean install.
I re-flashed and instead of restoring every app using Titanium backup, reinstalled only the apps with important info, such as Textra etc. Messaging works all good now. Thank you for your help
Ever since Marshmallow, my Google Voice has sucked.
It won't tell me I have new messages unless I manually open the app. Then suddenly it'll show me I've got all these new voicemails from the last few days.
It happens on all ROM's whether stock based or AOSP based.
I do clean wipes every time.
And never restore Google Voice from backup. It's always a new setup.
I've verified Google Voice is set to "Not Optimized" in the battery optimization setup for all my apps.
Any ideas?
I've ruled out the ROM's because it happens on any ROM I try, and I've tried a LOT.
Hello All!
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and im all out of ideas of what to do.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Wearable: S3 Rugged
Extra Service: DIGITS
Coming From: LGV20 which never had these issues with the same plans and accesories
So to start, when i got the phone inittially during setup of the google accounts i noticed that my OTP SMS Pushes were not being received, or auto filling the information. I skipped past all of that and noticed that anywhere that OTP text were suppose to autofill in different applications, it would not even when i received the text and got a notification.
So after a while of using TEXTRA which was working fine, one day i stopped receiving ALL text not just mms. I was able to send but never was I able to get anything from anyone. I ditched TEXTRA and went back to the stock Samsung app and noticed that all text were there, even though it was not default. After using the Samsung messages app i decided to go back to textra, heres whats funny. After Textra did it's initial setup, it only showed half of the recieved text from up to that day. Messages were incomplete, some just had one reply from a user and nothing else. So I also tried this with Android Messages and it had the EXACT same message log as textra. Both were not receiving the full logs from the server. Today Android Messaging was working for a good part of the day, then it just stopped all of sudden again.
Can someone help me with this, I've wiped the cache and factory reset the phone. Ive added and removed the multi-line settings in the samsung settings. I've tried the legacy settings on textra. I've called the DIGIT's customer service to see if they could fix it but they made and interesting point that it couldnt be digit because it wouldnt interfere with 3rd part messaging apps. When i switch apps i always make them default, i wipe the app cache etc.
I have a gut feeling this has something to do with something with the default Samsung Messages app and it somehow restricting use outside of it.
I just wanted to reply and say that I've been experiencing the exact same issue and haven't had any luck Google engineering my way around it. For me, I'm seeing the issue with Signal, so I don't believe it's the 3rd party app's problem. I can send messages (SMS/MMS), but the Samsung Messages app is the only one that "receives" them. A strange workaround I found was to download Android Messenger, set that as the default messaging app, then set Signal as the default messaging app again. This worked for a while, but I think the Samsung Messages app recently updated, and it broke this again until I repeated the above workaround.
It's annoying enough that, without a fix, I'll definitely be flashing a completely stripped ROM on this phone once we have the ability to do so to get away from all of the Samsung apps that I can't disable. And don't even get me started on Bixby...

I haven't had any issues with my At&t model...Been using Yaata since day one (about 2 months).
Also, there are some "package disabling" apps in the play store that will allow you to disable any app you want, you don't even need to be rooted. It cost me $1.99 (or around there), but was well worth it! You can even completely disable Bixby, so the button is even non-responsive.
Having the same issue and I may have fixed it. I logged completely out of Digits on the phone (settings/cloud accounts/multi line/hit the ... menu and choose log out.
I have this same issue. No matter which 3rd party SMS app I use I have missing text messages on the T-Mobile S8. Has anyone fixed this? It is driving me crazy. T-Mobile replaced my S8 and the new one does it (not as bad but it does it more than I'd like). How can I resolve this? My friend haf the same issue, he has an unlocked T-Mobile working on AT&T.
I don't use Digits or anything like that... any ideas?
hi guys
all you need to do
go to setings
device maintence
battery
scrool all the way down to unmonitored apps and add your 3rd party sms app
youre welcome
This still didn't work for me and I am having the same exact issues. I have tried installing 2 different 3rd party messaging (Textra and Mood) and both were not working properly. I can send messages out just fine but when I receive them they are delayed (like 5 minutes or longer). Sometimes, I don't get the messages at all. Of course, the Samsung Messaging app (which I hate) works just fine. I have even "Force Stopped" it! What to do?
go into the stock messaging app, and turn off advanced messaging
Has anyone found a solution? I've been using textra for years & suddenly in March I started having this problem but with sent messages. All incoming texts are displayed but my sent texts aren't. I did try the 2 suggestions above. On a note 8, Android 8.0.0,Samsung experience 9.0.
SOLVED. I had the same issues and found the solution. Before you install your 3rd party sms/MMS you need to disable the default messenger. I uninstalled signal, disabled the built-in messenger, reinstalled signal. Now I can receive texts. Also my phone is not a Samsung.
