So strange issue. I enabled SMS for Hangouts thinking I could deal with its inability to split text messages. Turns out I can't, oops....
ANYWAYS, Typically when this is enabled you can disable it in the SMS settings under Hangouts. This seems to not be the case anymore. Trying to edit the SMS settings now takes me to the general "settings" area of the phone as if I had selected the "gear" icon in the apps list or quick settings area of the phone. has anyone else run into this issue of 4.4.2? Have you found a solution? I would appreciate any assistance.
So are you trying use the HTC messages as the default instead of hangouts?
Settings->More->Default SMS App

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks
check out an awesome app named handcent.
I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.
Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.
Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes
I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.
Finally got mine just a little bit ago, did a search on our in the General Sub-Forum for any threads on this so figured I would start it. Pretty stable so far for me.
Are you able to send and receive MMS? I still can't..

This is the 3rd update since support for SMS and MMS. I have yet to be able to send or receive MMS on neither of my devices

haven't had any issues yet, slower than using stock app but still goes through for ME. Takes around 4-5 minutes to round trip send myself one and receive it.

Same here. It's pretty slow.
A good way to get any of the MMS to send almost as fast as it does in stock messaging app is to attempt to send the MMS and you can immediately make a call or AirPlane Mode or Mobile Data toggle it and then hang up or disable AirPlane Mode or Enable Mobile Data and it'll send much quicker. The phone call method only when on 3G though, not LTE
How is the interaction with google voice? I frequently dont receive messages using GV integrated on sprint.
Hangouts took control of the voicemail on my phone after I enabled SMS. Instead of getting a voicemail notification I received a text saying I had a message.

Were you able to figure out how to disable that sms voicemail? I'd rather use the visual voicemail that came with HTC One.
No, I had to undo sms with hangouts.

I was having the same problem. Download System Panel lite from the play store. Open GV then press back. Open System Panel and tap on GV in the list then tap exclude. This will stop the service from being flushed.
The problems i have with MMS is that it has to be on 3G to send. Otherwise (if i am on 4G or Wifi) it wont send.
I currently have a mod to enable MMS on wifi with the stock app, that also takes the compression off.
Also. It wont send SMS when roaming. I need to be on sprint.
Do you guys expreience this too? Or is it just all the mods i have affecting my phone?
Not Sure But..
Theres an Stock Messaging app in the play store that does SMS over Wifi.
Its basically the CM messaging app with some extra goodies.
Its called 8SMS
id supply a link but XDA isnt letting me post a link since im new. Sigh
Hangouts is terrible with mms/ group messaging

This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?

Which one are you guys using?
It pisses me off that hangouts archives pics regardless of setting. I was surprised to goto picasa/google+ photos and see every pic ever sent via hangouts there. Until Google changes this, I've gone back to stock SMS.

Stock sms
The color scheme kills me!
Both. I use SMS normally but I use Hangouts when my girlfriend is at work because she has chrome and the hangouts extension on her work computer.
I like hangouts.
Are any of you having trouble with Hangouts? When sending a reply message/text or simply navigating through the app, it's slow and clunky. A lot slower than any other app on the phone.
It seems to have really noticeable micro-pauses when sending a message and the text box animation comes up. Maybe I'm the only one having this issue?

Holy cow, stock SMS is so ugly... the three default backgrounds and the bubble styles... looks like Cookie Monster vomit.
I'm using Hangouts and couldn't be happier. And MMS works on it with WiFi Calling, which was a pleasant surprise!

What apn settings is Hangouts using? (Hangout settings) Also, what apn is your phone set to?
Screenshots would be awesome!
Ive been using Stock but mainly because I feel like Hangouts isn't as speedy as it use to be on my Note 3.
Mms over wifi doesn't work in hangouts right not the Google.Com but when it's set as default using ur number

I tried Hangouts but couldn't stand how it wouldn't use my contact pictures, it would only use their Google+ contact picture and most my contacts don't have a Google+ so it was a blank picture. Am I right here or is there a setting that eluded me?

Same experience here. Seems like sending hangout message is fine, but sending an SMS slows it down considerably to a point that SwiftKey stops registering swipes for a couple of seconds.
Hangouts seemed a big slow at times, and also would send pictures only when it felt like it. I could find no pattern to when it would or wouldn't. Stock works all the time, recently switched to the lolipop messaging app.

Hi all,
I have a strange issue that I cannot solve.
I am using the Samsung standard messaging app and all is working perfect.
I wanted to test the Google messaging app so I installed next to the Standard Samsung one.
The problem is that in the Google app not all messages are showing. It is random and has nothing to do with people having Iphone or not.
And not all messages of the same threat are not showing up. Some do and some don't.
If I open the Samsung app all are present???
Any idea what the problem is?
Thank you
Maybe some of the messages in the samsung app are probably enhanced messages, meaning they were sent as data like an imessage. So when Google messages looks at your list of sms, it doesn't see those
