I noticed the same thing. I did some testing a while back and after i had sent right around 100 it showed 180 something.

Could they be long messages that get split?

Apps
Some apps that you sideload, from third party markets, can send text messages to the app creator that contain your user data, these messages dont show up in inbox/outbox or sms watchers because the are hidden with a "invisible cloak" this is what i read in an article about the saftey of android apps. I cannot recall where i read it

I dont use 3rd party markets or sideloading and I have very few apps.....

Email issue

When I'm using the stock email app to check email, it has a habit of marking older emails as unread even though I've already read them. Any ideas why it's doing this?

Lock screen apps

Okay, I had to factory restore my D4, after the ice update. Lots of weird issues, but after the restore it's a lot better. Now my issue is, I don't use the default text program, I use Chompsms. I want to change the lock screen default text apps to the one I use, and anyone know how to do this?

Doing that give the desired effect, it makes Chomp my default sms on my lock screen. Except it disables my incoming text message.

How do I stop two notifications, or How do I make chompSMS the default messaging app? Turn Notification Off in the native messaging app, turn Notification On in chompSMS, then restart your phone.

Hi
Could anyone help me receive messages on my gear from my note 3?
I did all settings in gear manager on note 3. I could receive all ( calls, emails etc) but no messages.
Is there any other setting I must do before?
Thx a lot

Sometimes not that easy. I've had messages checked under notifications in settings. And I haven't received 1 SMS notification since day one. I only use stock SMS app.
Kinda. Annoying
And kinda gave up awhile ago. Just like my svoice won't work. Tried everything. Can't find others with issue.

if your screen is on, the sms won't go to the watch. You need to either check if there are wakelocks or install modded message apk (search in this forum) that doesn't turn screen on when you receive a message

ChompSMS
Google Hangouts. It is able to do Group MMS without glitches/issues.
I've also used Textra. It was the fastest sms/mms app I ever used and it also does Group MMS without glitch/issues.

Also fed up with the crap stock app, I got on here and tried Textra first.. It's good, clean, but lacking a couple of features I really want. First that comes to mind is message count option; I prefer this to be shown in my conversation list.
I ended up with Chomp, and so far it's working great.. with a ton of customization, which I like also! No trouble with MMS; in fact it displayed images out of my MMS's that the stock client would never display.. Old stuff in conversations, not just new messages.

[Q] sms test

The other day i stumbled upon an htc app that would send a test sms msg somewhere on my m8, but i cant seem to find it again.Anyone used this before and could remind me where it is? tried using search and google to no avail.. thanks!
may I ask what the purpose of the app is?
sent from HTC M8 using tapatalk
It sends a test sms msg to your device to ensure everything is working properly. For example , say you were using a third party sms app , like handcent or something, you could see that it was configured correctly, without having to wait for someone to send you a text.... i used it once , and its kind of handy, I thought it was in the htc guide>support>troubleshooting, .. but its not.
The sprint zone app has it. You could also just sent yourself a sms to test it
