I'm on Viper 5.8.0 and I've been having a strange issue, I installed "sms backup and restore" to backup my texts a while back however ever since I no longer receive text notifications in the notification tray or the "HTC messaging" icon or the notification light like before. I have cleared the defaults on both apps and used "default app manager" from the market to set the "HTC messaging" app as my default as I couldn't find the option within the app itself however it's still not working. I do get the notifications to my Pebble as before but if I miss that it may be hours before I open the messaging app again and it's getting really frustrating. I have also tried formatting system and cache and reinstalling the ROM and kernel and fixing permissions but still nothing! I don't want to wipe everything until a proper M7 based Sense 6 viper comes out so I hope someone can help.

How do I make Handcent the default messaging app again? Auto retrieve is unchecked in Serendipity native messaging, but it is still receiving messages. Thanks.

...sigh... Did you turn off the notifications on the native app also?
Notifications are off. Not getting double notifications. Just seems very inefficient to have messages loaded by both apps. Gotta be a way to shut down native app without messing around with scripts.

If you have the paid version of titanium backup, you can select the native messaging app and freeze it and see if your messaging still works, if it does still work, use root explorer and make a copy of the native app, save it to the sd card and delete the original. Just throwing out trial and error options, so I'm not responsible if it doesn't work lol. If deleting the native messaging apk caused fc's, just copy and paste the original and you should be back to where you started though.

Do you mean that the preinstalled messenger is the default SMS application?
Have you gone to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All Tab -> Messenger -> Clear defaults?
Yes. Cleared messages and handcent cache. Next message comes in...choose handcent ad default. Go to messages app and same message is there. Not a biggie, but seems inefficient. Thanks

I'm fairly certain that SMS are stored somewhere different and the apps just access that single location; you don't have the same message in multiple locations. If you downloaded a third messenger app later, you should be able to access all the previous conversations as well.
Ok. That makes me feel better then, lol. Thanks

Get handcent sms from market
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
all i can find is handcent language packs, but anyway, why do i need an app for my phone to vibrate
The app is an alternative for the stock messaging app and it has its own vibrate settings.
The app's full name is "Handcent SMS"

This was also driving me nuts. Until just now since I finally figured it out. You just need to open up the messaging app itself, hit the menu button, and click on messages settings. Make sure the vibrate option is clicked and voila, we have vibrate.
This is different from the notification vibrate in the regular settings menu.

Just as Duffey1 said its a separate setting in the app itself. If you want more control such as the vibrate pattern then you will have to install another app from the market or rom such as liberty3 that has this built into the SMS app.

i think my problem was different, because i did check the settings in the messaging app itself also the one in sound settings and even though it was enabled , it still wasn't working, i did end up fixing it though, i downloaded an app called sound manager and enable vibration in there and now even after uninstalling sound manager, my sms vibration still works
i actually had this happen to me twice, both times when switching ROMs, and both times sound manager fixed the problem
I installed a messaging app called 8sms because I liked the theme of CM messaging. ( I am stock and unroofed so I couldn't install an inverted stock SMS app ) I noticed a problem with group messaging with 8sms so I switched back to stock. Now I don't receive notifications for any messages even though the setting for notifications is ticked in the messaging settings. I have tried clearing cache, data, restoring default settings and rebooted my phone. But to no avail, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you uninstall the third party messaging app? I had that problem with GoSMS Pro. Notifications didn't work no matter what I did in settings and preferences with each app. It was not until I completely uninstalled Go that my notifications started working again. I've never experienced anything like this on any other android device I've used. No idea what causes this to happen.

Yes I have tried uninstalling 8sms and still had the same issues.

Fixed the problem, it was an issue with MMSC settings within 8sms. I would recommend 8sms to anyone who is unrooted and wants a dark themed stock sms app

Hi, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...
I had disabled the stock messaging app on my Moto X with stock Android 4.4.2. So far, this has been working great, and I don't have two messaging apps (Hangouts and Messaging) in the apps list. However, last night, I updated to 4.4.3, and now I can't send text messages. Hangouts crashes every time I start typing a message. I realized it might be because I had disabled the stock messaging app and went to go and reenable it in the App settings. So I went to Settings -> Apps -> Disabled, and tapped on Messaging. But the enable button is greyed out. Is there any way to reenable the app without resetting the phone? I can't seem to find any other way searching online doesn't show anyone else with this problem.
Thanks for any help!

I was able to solve this by defrosting the app in titanium backup!
Edit: For anyone else that stumbles on this thread, the enable button for disabled apps is greyed out in 4.4.3. If you are not rooted, one way to renable apps is to go to Settings > Apps > Disabled > Reset app preferences (under the menu button in the top right).
