I'm not sure exactly where this problem lies, but its really annoying me!
If I send a message when I don't have any reception, when I regain signal the message says its sent in handcent but it still shows the sending spiral thing. In the default message app it also shows a little logo to suggest its still sending. Sometimes it can take a whole day to actually send.
Is there a way to force send a message in this state?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I wondered this too. thought it was handcent causing the probs so uninstalled it. has happened once since. really annoying theres no "stop sending" or "resend" option available.
This happened to me too. To get rid of it, I long pressed on the message in Handcent and deleted the message. Don't know if it actually sent or not.
Problem in Handcent ? Because it's fine for me in the stock SMS app from HTC.
using tmobile note 4 stock messaging app. i receive text and mms on my moto360 fine. i swipe left to reply. when i select reply it turns to a green check mark and disappears instead of opening google now. i look on my phone and it appears the phone saves a blank draft in the message thread. reply works fine with note 3 and hangouts on note 4. im just not a fan of hangouts. any help or suggestions would be great. ive tried like 5 other messaging apps but most dont have mms support(shows received photo on watch). the stock messaging app has that mms support but i cant reply.

There's also 8sms app
I guess I've a different behavior from others (who want screen remains off when SMS is received)
My sceen used to turn on when SMS is received. However today it does not, screen remains off when SMS received.
I just want to know is there a setting for it coz I can't seem to find it everywhere
I would love for it to stay turned off... When you figure out why its happening, please share lol

Just use Google's new Messenger app instead of the Samsung app and it will stay turned off

Has anyone seen this behavior on the V20? I have Textra set as the default SMS app and randomly, I get a notification from the Messaging app that I have a new text or MMS. The odd thing is that those messages won't show up in Textra, only in Messaging.
So far it seems to be with 1 contact, my brother who is on T-Mobile using an S6. I deleted my convo in Messaging with him when this happened yesterday and deleted his convo with me on his phone and it was fine. Just now, I got an MMS from him and happened again. Seems odd...
Anyone else?

I tried that right after I posted, actually. Seeing if it happens again.
How can I get textra to show on second screen
Will Textra send via WiFi? I have not tried the app yet.
Thanks
I'm not seeing this behavior yet. However, Textra and the Messaging app aren't showing any of my contacts. I keep syncing them, and they show up in the Contacts app, but it's like the Textra/messaging app doesn't have access to them or something.
Edit: Reboot helped.

I'm having this issue as well, so I just went back to the stock messaging app.

Same thing. Have you been able to fix it? I'm about to delete Textra, force stop stock app, then reinstall Textra to see if it will start working properly. I noticed that it happens to only one person in my contact list, extremely odd.
Just in case anyone else is having this issue I seemed to have found a fix. Go to settings then apps. Select the native messaging app. Revoke permissions, block notifications, switch "message app" to No, switch draw over other apps to No. Delete Textra, restart phone, reinstall Textra, & set Textra as default app (simply go into Textra & begin to use it, it will ask if you want to make it the default). This should hopefully fix any issues anyone might be having.

THX,I'll give that a shot (not sure if I'm actually having issues,but,incoming texts seem to be coming in later than they should).
And BTW...............
:good: WELCOME TO XDA DEVELOPERS ! :good:
EDIT: @Kief_haring
After following the steps you listed,the stock messaging app settings (permissions/notifications) reverted back to enabled.
The message app & draw-over other apps settings remained off (no).
There's some MMS settings within the Textra app that are T-Mobile specific,may need to have some trial & error to get things just right,YMMV.

You have to make sure you don't open the native app after setting everything to off. Maybe just set them all to off, delete Textra then reinstall. Don't restart phone as that may be what is enabling the native messaging app settings. I have T-Mobile as well. I enable the T-Mobile MMS over wifi option to on within Textra. Let me know if this works out, if not I'll try to troubleshoot the issue a bit more.
Also thanks for the warm welcome! I've been lurking on this site for over 10 years, just never made an account. Figured it was about time to give some input & ask questions for myself as well. Love this community & want to give back as much as I have taken from it.

T Mobile wifi fix. Apologies for not being more clear about that. When you set that you can actually see wifi shut off & 4G take over when sending an MMS. Never have trouble sending a picture after setting that up.

Also with MMS Behavior, Legacy seems to be working well on the V20. Haven't had to even think about switching to System MMS.

I leave the off on mine and have not had any issues sending MMS.
Wish that Textra supported the second screen and that is where the notifications appeared.

I'll have to try and leave it off... With the N6P it always had to be on.
None of the above worked for me. The one or two peoples messages that were going into the stock app just stopped coming in completely.
Any other ideas?

So I've recently started having a couple issues with my AT&T S8 Plus. I've already performed a factory reset once and wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues or has ideas.
1. When sending text messages I get a never ending spinning wheel next to the message that it is sending even once the recipient gets it. I seem to have to reboot the device to fix it. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on wifi or LTE.
2. Badges have been all over the board. I'll have a badge for 8 emails on my home screen and will delete the emails but the badge doesn't go away like it used to. Likewise sometimes I'm getting emails and a notification but no badge. I have to clear the badge manually. This has also happened on the phone app.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here with s8+ about badges. Any solution?

Same here as well and plus+ for anyone who could find a solution to this very annoying problem. Tried almost everything.
Disabled Badge Provider for now.
you can long-press an icon and remove the badge

didnt read the whole post, my apologies
I'm having the same issue with badges, but also not getting notifications at all from some apps, including no badges. This seemed to start at some point over the weekend.
just cleared badge providers data from app manager. Seems like its ok for now.
Same is happening to me. Only the last week where WhatsApp and email badges not clearing when messages read. Perhaps a bug has crept in since the recent update.
So annoying
Same prob here with badges not disappearing and messages app status is spinning although message has been sent and received and replied to...Started little over a week ago I guess...Help please...This is killing my OCD.
I am having the exact same issue, for the second time. This started happening about two weeks ago, and it lasted for about two days. Just as I was about to give in and reset the phone, it cleared up on it's own. Texts showed sent right away and badge counts stayed correct. Then it started again two days ago. Totally random. But now, new symptom: apps that were open about the time the issue started, opened by themselves again early this morning. I have NO clue whats happening.

Same with mine. Tried switching themes back to stock which seemed to work for a while now it's doing it again. Such a pain since you have no idea if your msg sent or if it's just the phone acting up. I'm now wondering if it's part of there new battery optimization?
oh man im glad im not the only one with texting issues. its so freaking annoying. i did a hard reset today praying it would fix it, plot twist it didnt. its only the stock app tho. i was running the google app and today that decided it wouldnt recieve any texts out of the blue. im trying to find a way to uninstall or disable the stock app..
Does yours also make duplicate texts?
Samsung Badge timeout is broken
This is happening to me as well. Example WnatsApp or any other app that has a badge for unread notifications or alerts stays that way even after the messages and notifications are read. What works in my case is to keep the App open for about 10 secs or so AFTER the mails/messages etc are read. If it is a notification, just opening the notification does not work. I have to manually open and click on the individual notifications for Samsung to register that as a read. This was the case from the day I purchased the device and has remained the same ever since. Frustrating in the extreme.
Since we're all complaining... me too! Somehow, the latest update has managed to cause a clustermuck to the most basic and useful features. Since I installed it on my S8 last week, my email and whatsapp badges have disappeared so I now need to open the bloody app to see if I have messages.
Meanwhile, my email randomly shows a badge for "11" new emails. It occasionally clears only to reappear later.
Rolling back the update seems to be a royal ball-ache too. Any suggestions welcome.
Same issue here I have tried everything even have some other symptoms
Along with the same issues you're having I am also having issues with clicking on a notification it disappearing and nothing happening and hours later after setting my phone down and coming back to it trying to do something else on it then all of a sudden of the notification pops up and those badges are really making me mad when they don't disappear I tried disabling them couple hours or next day they come back I really like my phone but I'm starting to hate those badges
