Anyone else use textra for SMS/MMS? I've noticed recently that its draining my battery like crazy. Anyone experience the same or have a god alternative app that looks similar?

ive been using it since my S3. Now on my my S5, i dont have any battery draining issues with it. Maybe try to clear data/cache or uninstall/ re install? are you rooted or anything?
Rooted with android l ROM. I think reinstalling it fixed it, but I ended up going with 8sms in my current ROM anyway. I like it better. Thanks.

Anyone else have this issue? Starting this afternoon my Facebook app launches the browser version of Facebook. It starts the app and acts like its going to load feeds and then opens the browser.

Opened Facebook app and noticed it's redirecting to m.facebook.com. Maybe something's wrong with the interface servicing the app....

There's a Themes & Apps subforum for these kids of issues. Please use it.
Yep, same issue for me, starting today. If you read the market reviews, there's dozens of similar complaints, all dated today.

Ditto for me. Uninstalled and re-installed fixed it. Hope it stays that way.
I have that same problem. I am running on a stock rom 2.2 from kies update. I am rooted but have not flashed a custom rom yet. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a total of 3 times and still have the problem and yes I did do a reboot after I uninstalled before I reinstalled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I think we just need to wait for them to fix the app, sadly. It doesn't seem to be any issue with the phones or corrupted data - it's something in the app itself. With all the people complaining on the market, I'm betting they'll post an update shortly.
I was checking something with this app before I put my phone down for the evening. When I woke up my battery was dead. Check out the pictures, stay awake 7 hours and it was the biggest drain on my battery.
I'll try the uninstall and reinstall to see if it's any different. Cognition 5 beta 2
Use FriendCaster (Pro) and you won't have any more problems.

Did you use xposed, or did you do any modifications. I haven't found a post yet where the phone was broke after towel root, where towel root itself broke the phone.
Agree. There's no reason the root itself would cause this. Give us some more info so we can help you better. MMS can be finicky anyway on this phone. I've had some message delay issues (which are mms), but I've found a restart helps stuff come and go faster.

The only thing i used from xposed was the fake system

I've noticed pretty much every one of the "my phone's not acting right after towel root" in some way has xposed involved.

There is a reason for this. It is the network not the phone. Picture messaging is not sent through as normal data on the default text app it has to go through the towers.

I've found that mms doesn't work when using adblock plus. If you're using that, delete it and switch to Adaway. Fixed the problems I was having with mms messages.
DI'm having this same issue. A reboot causes a pending one to download but can't sent out. Uninstalled add block plus and still have issue. I did install add away
For clarification. I installed and successfully ran towellroot. Installed xposed and then the xposed framework. Installed wanam xposed. Changed a few things in the notification bar like battery. Put symbols back into keyboard.
Strange it worked for a few days just perfectly fine... now it does not work.
That's all I've done.

Since you're rooted, maybe you should do a full backup in TiBu, wipe clean, and restore. It might fix whatever broke.

I think I may have got it working last night. Adblock Plus did not an uninstall the first time I did it properly so it over wrote the settings again no I didn't know it. After a couple reboots with adAway install it seems to be now working

Does anyone else favor using the Google Now Launcher over TouchWiz? I'm loving it over the latter, just curious if anyone else uses it.

I've noticed some problems with apps that save to the SD card, but other than that, if you've got the processing/RAM power, it's the best for an Android device.

For probably 3 months or more the stock messaging app on my SM-N900A is been really lagging or will stop all together. At first I thought it was swift key keyboard that I was using, and if I change to the standard Samsung keyboard, it helps a little, but the problem persists. Force closing the app, clearing data and cache doesn't seem to help either. Software is up to date. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

I couldnt handle how much the stock messaging app sucked so i switched to hangouts. Its quite a bit better plus when i send pictures it doesnt tell me to "Select different media."
Could be that you need to turn on the feature to delete old messages automatically. Maybe clear cache of the app?

Use chomp sms. Been using it since the note days and never had an issue. Also it's highly customisable.

Long story short my messages app sucks! Short Story long I love the messages app but it don't love me back. I'm sure many of you will suggest that I use hangouts or chomp or textra or some other third party message app which I do but I really want to use the stock app. I'm using hangouts by default right now. That's bc my stock app started acting up about 2 months after use. It would just freeze while texting and doing all kind of weird things that it shouldn't do. I thought it was just my phone and hoped that lollipop would fix it and started using hangouts but lollipop isn't here. Furthermore I bought my wife a note about a month ago after convincing her to leave the iPhone (greatest thing she ever did besides marrying me) and her phone started doing the exact same thing. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced this. I've tried clearing cache, deleting old messages and googling a solution but came with no luck. So here I am reaching out to my fellow xda-ers to see if anyone else had the same problem or better yet a solution?

That's really strange. Are you both on T-Mobile? I have not used the stock app since day 1, and I don't like Hangouts, but I do have problems sometimes messaging with my girlfriend. We both have Note 4's with Textra, but she is on Verizon and I am on the big pink T. We had no problems when we both had T-Mobile.
What sorts of things is the stock messaging app doing? I've used it for months with no issues on stock deodexed NK4
Yeah we're both t mobile. Basically while your trying to type it'll freeze the phone for 30 secs to a couple of minutes to the point it's unusable. Sometimes everything you typed will catch up but sometime it will just force close

Sounds like you both are using stock keyboard. Try swift key. Factory keyboard had a lot of lag. If you guys are rooted start debloating. Should help a ton.

Both using swiftkey lol I may try stock and see what happens
