Google Messages - texts being deleted - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
Couldn't find an answer to this.
My text/SMS messages get deleted after a certain limit is reached when using Google Messages. I don't see an option to stop this from happening. Google Messages on my non-Samsung device (Nexus 5) doesn't delete anything.
Is there a setting somewhere I can change to prevent any texts from being deleted?
Thanks.

if you go into the messaging setting by clicking the 3 little dots in the upper right corner then click on settings..then on .ore settings..there is an option that you can turn off for auto delete of messages

This doesn't exist in Android Messages (by Google) - at least not the version I have (2.4.035).
That option is there for the Samsung app but greyed out for me since I have the Google app set as default messaging app.
I've set the Samsung app as default, turned off the auto delete, then assigned Android Messages as default again. I'll see if that changes anything but I don't see why settings in a Samsung app should change my Google apps.

'Disable' HTC Message app?

Hey gang,
I've just installed Handcent and its very Awesome indeed so I want to make this my default SMS/MMS app.
My question:
How can I stop the HTC Message app from running in the background and, presumably, eating battery/CPU cycles.
I've turned off notifications for the HTC Message app so I only receive SMS notifications from Handcent but I want to kill the HTC Message app permanently. I should also say that I don't want to delete or 'un-install' it.
Thanks for any ideas,
E
BTW: Handcent is sweeeeet for those that haven't tried it. Big recommend!
get a task manager to stop any app you'd like.
The bug with the HTC messaging app was activated by sending a message through it. So if you haven't *sent* one through it since rebooting the device, it shouldn't eat hardly any resources.
I find that I get double notification sounds.
I'm sure although switched off, the HTC Messaenger is still sending the notification sound through.
Either that or Handcent is doing it twice :-(
You need to disable notification from the internal app. All Programs < Messages < Menu < Settings < Uncheck auto-retrieve & uncheck Notifications.
Thanks very much for this post
I came to ask the same question and you had already asked it. My problem is solved.
And yeah...Handcent is super sweet! \m/
Anyone know how to remove messaging from the phone permanently and just have handcent?

So i just went to that website and it was another forum which a guy said to go to another forum which didnt answer the question. So i just tryed it out and removed Mms.apk and replaced it with handcent and everything works.
I know this is an old post but i figured i would update it with the answer for future searchbutton users

Ideas To Disable Default SMS App - Android
We're devleoping an SMS app for Android and are looking for ways to disable the default SMS app (all handset types).
Besides having the user manually disable notifications and auto-retrieve, any input on integrating and automating this with our SMS app or better ideas. Thank you.

Unfortunately, CloudAgent has stopped

Since the first day I got my Galaxy S4 i9505 I am repeatedly getting a pop up message saying "Unfortunately, CloudAgent has stopped.", as shown in the screenshot attached to this message.
Right before the message the smartphone freezes completely for a few seconds. It happens very frequently, several times a day.
How can I fix this problem? And what is that CloudAgent for?
Cloud agent is for Dropbox syncing
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
I had same issue. .. but only after updating Dropbox.. I am rooted so I deleted it and reinstalled from play. .. now it works like a charm
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I disabled the service from the application manager and I haven't got the error anymore.
After I disabled it it disappeared from the list of all apps in the application manager. I wouldn't know how to enable it back if I wanted to.
Dropbox is still working fine, syncing automatically and everything else.
Root Cause
The SQLite statement doesn't like the apostrophe in my wifi name when receiving an MMS (multimedia text message)
Fix
Samsung Engineer: needs to 'escape' the APN so that punctuation is handled in SQLite. (It's actually a beginner-level mistake by the Samsung developer that implemented the code)
Phone owner: update your wifi's name to remove punctuation, like an apostrophe.

Fear not, when you disable an app it's automatically relocated to the bottom of the list, where you can re-enable it.

I had the same issue and I had to factory reset because I couldn't find it anywhere. Very fristra5
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
I am having the same issue. This is absolute garbage that this cannot be reset. I do not want to hard reset my phone to fix this. It takes me hours to get all my apps back in place and everything logged in. If Samsung's back up saved where my apps go and how I like things customized I'd be a little more reluctant. There has to be somewhere in the phone to fix this Short code texting.
People with high Wi-Fi drain try this:
Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
This will only reset WiFi password and Bluetooth and it did had a positive impact for me.
Not sure what Wifi drain has to do with this topic...
Default app manager pro can clear default apps and bring back the open with menu. Pretty sure the lite version can do this too.
Nope no defaults set anywhere
Has anyone found a solution except for factory reset?
Just curious what's premium SMS? Compared to a regular SMS?

It's an sms sent to a phone number to approve a charge. Kinda like a 900 call.
I was replying to something like a redbox message - STOP, HELP, YES. Since I accidently hit "no", whenever I respond, the message FAILS

Still not working
None of these solutions work. I've ready that it's a marshmellow thing.
Can't you just long press the messaging app from the app drawer and go to app info and clear data and cache to reset it?

You could try settings > application manager > more > reset app preferences
Try this:
Settings > Application Manager > Find the app (most likely it would be Messages > Storage > Let it compute (which can take some time) > then CLEAR DATA. This might delete all your texts though (not 100% sure since I haven't tried)
Go to Settings / Applications / App Manager, scroll to the SMS app (Messages is the default SMS app), tap the app, tap Set as default, tap Clear Defaults.
That should do it. This is how you clear defaults for every app.
I just did the same thing. I bought my S7 today. But there is no premium sms setting in the phone. And I do not want to reset my phone. I gave my 3 hours for it
Any chance that this is under App Permissions? Ir simply install Google Messenger.

Messaging app crashing after Oreo update (H870 model)

After yesterday's upgrade to Oreo I can't open messaging app. It's crashing before opening.
I cleared app cache/data, made phone reset ... Any solution?
Thank you!
go to settings, aplications and select messages app and clear cache and data of that app. reboot the phone and see if this works...
That's what I've done. It's written in first post.
Have you try to update chrome? Or go to setting->developer option->webview choose Chrome stable.
It's updated and set in webwiew ... Is this ooption somwhow connected with messaging app?
p.s.:, I've done hard reset and now it works.

Because I ever uninstall chrome and didn't set webview, the messaging app has stopped like you. ?
Interesting
Hi there.
Same problem with Message app here.
Chrome is up to date, and set in webview by default (i cannot select Android webview, it's grayed out).
So I downloaded"Android Messages" by Google, set it as default messege app in settings. Et vaula...
My Messages app doesn't work but I'm able to send and receive SMS.

Settings - Apps and notification - default apps. Change contact app from Viber to whatever you want
sorry for my bad english, but I wanted say an other thing.
Using contacts app and pressing "share" in top right (see attached file) it open directly Viber where to share selected contact.
Before my mistake, when I pressed share button, it open the list of app where I could share and the question "always" or "only this time".
I would like to go back to stock status but I cannot find how.
thanks

Open the App info, there would be an option named "Open by default", Tap that and there would be written at the bottom "Clear defaults", Tap that and it would stop being the default option for whatever you've set it.
