Reply to SMS from anywhere? - Moto X Q&A

Basically what I am looking for is something that will let me reply to messages without ever opening the app. Essentially it would open a window and a keyboard from my notification menu and let me reply from within other apps without exiting the original app to reply to the message. Anyone know of an app or something of the sort that will allow this? Thanks for the help

Download a third party sms app that has a popup reply function. When you receives a text, a little popup will appear on top of your current app and let you type your reply without exiting the current app

Textra has this feature and I loved it. I'm using hangouts currently cause I can read the whole text in the notification bar and respond when I want

Thanks guys!

disable handcent notifications and re-enable notifications in stock sms app.
then the puzzle peice will be back. when it opens, it should give you a window asking which app to use (stock or handcent) check handcent and the check box saying always use this app
the issue now is that it won't clear the message notification. puzzle piece is still showing after you have responded. have to manually clear the notification

[Q] Samsung Messaging app (GB)

Well, i have the stock messaging app, and using TW launcher 4.. so its literally stuck on the home screen. That being said, ive decided to use that app because i like the TW launcher. My problem is, because that app doesnt have the popup notification, i downloaded SMS popup, and now whenever i reply to an sms using SMS popup, it doesnt mark the message as read. And it also shows a little blip with (#) of unread messages right there on the home screen.
How can i fix this?
Thanks
probably something the app maker needs to fix. I would email them. I use go sms right now and when I read it through the pop ups it kills the notification.

lol, the app maker is samsung i dont see them fixing it anytime soon. I would use go SMS but i like the stock tw launcher... And i dont think its possible to replace the message icon (already in the launcher) with go sms. If this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks
I think for sms popup you have to disable notifications on the stock app and then use it...

Sorry, u do disable it in the stock sms app. I knew 5 minutes after I typed but I had a busy day and never got back to relieve myself of the stupidity I typed.

SMS Popup does not have any options to disable stock messaging app notifications.

That's only half of it. That only takes out the notification in the notification bar and the ringtone/vibration. In the TW4 launcher, the messaging app gets a little blip, like IOS about unread message. That is what i want to erase. I set the notification on the stock messaging app completely off, but that blip still comes here .
Its literally a circle with the number of unread messages in it at the top right side of the application shortcut. ie. (2)

Quick Compose via Handcent SMS

Hi, has anyone been able to get the home key long press remapped for the quick compose feature with handcent sms? With my older EVO 3D I was able to use the search button for that, but no luck with the HTC One. Hate having to open handcent and then click new to get a text out real quick.
I use chompSMS and quickcompose from notification bar. That will be so until someone comes up with another solution to map this kind of app to another button
Im also getting this dilemma. Probably ill just email the developer about this issue.
Yes, still waiting for an update that will incorporate quick compose similar to chomp that had it on the notification bar

[Q] Disable Hangouts SMS 4.4.2

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

Messaging privacy

does anyone know how to stop the messaging app from displaying the entire message and the navigation bar and when you turn your screen on does anyone know how to make it just say message message received . I'm wondering if I may have to use a third-party messaging app ?
Messaging>settings>notifications> bottom 2 options
?
