[Q] Emoji Trouble Only in SMS Apps?

I'm having trouble getting emoji to work in my SMS apps. Emoji works everywhere EXCEPT SMS apps. I downloaded GO SMS and the emoji plugin, and could only see the ones I sent. Received ones are boxes with question marks in them. I tried the same with Handcent and couldn't get it to work either. I had this same issue with my Evo LTE, but never had this problem on my Evo 3D. Could it be some interference with Jelly Bean?

Go SMS + emoji work fine on my note 2 running stock jb 4.1.2, have you tried disabling/freezing the stock messaging app?

I looked through settings and didn't see anything related. I hope this is something that just requires an app update. I still have at least a week till I will receive my One but if emjoi does't work my fiance will be pissed.

Yeah. It's especially annoying since I had this problem on my LTE. I was hoping that getting this device would fix the problem.

Another odd symptom I just found: my battery drained to 32% after three and a half hours, and GO SMS Emoji Plugin was causing most of the battery drain (61%). Not sure why that would happen.

Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts

Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.

Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.
Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.

haha you have to turn them on
go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha

Have you checked the notification settings inside the Galaxy Gear Manager program?

Are you sure you have a note 3 and not a Chinese knockoff tote 3

Its directly from Verizon so you never know what scam they have up their sleeve to save a few bucks. I have tried to re pair up the device and same results. Any one have Verizon here?

When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.
Report back if not working.

I receive the text less than a second after my phone gets it. Literally my pocket buzzes and by the time I look down at my watch it vibrates. Then I can read it and reply back with s voice . Not a single problem. I'm in love with both devices.

Yep, and to be honest I didn't do anything special. I'm using the stock messaging app and email. I just took it out of the box and used it.

Screen on notification

Is there anyway to stop the screen on Notification? I am rooted and I will happily delete a file or modify code if someone knows the answer.

What do you mean by screen on notification?

Sorry what I mean is when the screen turns on when you get a text message. I do not want the screen to turn on when I get a message.

Open messages. tap menu, settings, and then more. About midways You will see an option to preview message. Make sure that is not checked.

No that just prevents me from seeing who texted. I need to disable the screen from turning on

I did some surfing and found that the screen coming on is an AT&T variant exclusive and cannot be disabled. Sprint's version as well as Verizons does not come on. The preview option still lets it come on, just does not tell you what the message says. So you will just have to live with it unless you want to sell yours and get a Sprint version.

While that's not happening lol. Maybe I can find the build prop line and edit it. Thanks though. If anyone else has figured this out please let me know.

That does not control if the screen wakes up or not when you get a text. That just controls if it shows on the status bar and yes that is stock even for AT&T. His issue is the phone wakes on text and he does not want that. At least not so much that the screen lights up. That feature is an AT&T feature and cannot be disabled with an AT&T ROM.

It seems the attachment in the pic has the option for turning the screen on setting off. I like the stock tom and do not want to change it. Is there a way to just side load the mms.apk from his rom?

If you want to install and use safe strap then you can load and use the xnote ROM. otherwise due to the bootloader being locked there is no side loading on this version of the Note 3.

The post above yours by solarenemy (quoted below) seems to imply that sideloading mms.apk from another rom wouldn't even solve this problem (I don't know whether or nor mms.apk could be sideloaded - I think it could be, via the usual rigamarole for changing system apps):

This sounds like the sort of thing that should be possible using xposed framework... Though I don't know if any modules exist yet which do it.
Flashing ROMs would require safestrap, and could surely get what you want even within the limitations of the locked bootloader - but this is, I think, more dramatic than it needs to be to get what you want.

Your right. There was an option in Wanam. I would have never have thought to use that. Thank you so much.

I had the same issue with Note 2 and now with Note 3.
Fortunately I use Google Hangouts to handle my SMS/MMS and the issue does not occur with Hangouts app. I know its not a solution but I could not find a proper way to disable this with the default messaging app.
On a side note, I still have issue with Calender reminder pop-up which turns the screen on and there is no way to disable it. I have 100s of calendar entries synced through my Google Calender which has one of the default reminder set as pop-up on web interface which triggers the full screen pop-up on phone as well waking the screen.

Solved

In either case. There was an option in Wanam which gave me the feature in the mms settings.

Gear 2 Neo not getting text notifications

I notice that my gear 2 neo does not receive text message notifications sometimes. I dunno if it's a bug in the software. Anyone else noticing this?

make sure your using the defalt messaging app for the phone , I know with the s5 It wont work unless I use default message app , I can see notifications from handscent sms
ect, but cant reply to them , only default app can reply , other then that seems to be all ok here.

Yeah that's the first thing I had to do when I got it. Unfortunately it still hasn't been sending the notifications to my gesr. Any other notification works tho.

Out of curiosity did you do a factory reset on the watch or the phone? (not sure if watch one is possible, but just wondered lol). I get my Neo tomorrow and excited.

I did a factory reset on the watch. It's in the bottom in the settings.

Messaging app

Was just curious as to what messaging app most people was using and recommended. I like to find one that has pop up and possibly lock screen preview like the stock app. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

I love the stock messenger app, it has everything I need.
Go sms has pop up too if you prefer that.

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.

I use Textra and I love it.

Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.

Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS

I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.

Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.

I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...

Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

using stock messaging app here , rooted with twrp recovery , I have popup enabled when I get a msg and phone is locked (swipe to unlock set) I click the msg but then the phone lags at the lock screen ,and hangs. anyone else having problems with this ? or know a way to correct it ?
to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .

Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.

since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it

From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:
