Anyone know of any google SMS apps that use Google Voice? I'd love to get rid of my sms plan but the stock GV app is less then adequate to say the least.
I've love something as robust as Handcent but I'll settle for anything better then the stock app.
Hello is there any messaging apps other than the stock S5 mms one with Samsung Emoji?
I've looked and simply can't find one at all! I know you can use the emoji switcher app in the play store but most of the time it doesn't work.
Any suggestions is appreciated! [emoji106]
Anybody?
I'm not sure what the stock Samsung emoji list consists of but I highly recommend Textra SMS & their emoji package as a replacement for the stock app. Has so many features and not a big heavy app either. Check it out in the Play store, it's free. They finally updated it to allow you to view & answer texts on the Lock Screen!
8sms is a Samsung stock message replacement app. I love it.

Hello,
I have had a first gen samsung gear since it came out. Just got my G watch R and loved it. I have a galaxy note 4 edge phone, and noticed right away that when i get a text message I cannot open it on the gwatch. I am using the samsung stock messaging app... is hangouts really the only way to view a text? what other apps work, or I would prefer if there was a way to read my samsung messages.
WearResponses works with any messaging app. That would be your easiest option. It would allow you to read and reply to messages from your watch.
I have a HTC One M7 GE. The stock Google Messaging app works fine with Wear.

Thanks for the reply. I tried wear responses but that caused some additional issues.
I am now using google messenger, not the google hangouts and it appears to have what i need. I just need to leave the samsung texting environment.
What do you guys prefer in regards to texting?
I find hangouts a bit choppy but seems like it has more features.

I have 2 gmail accounts work and personal and it is a pain in the butt looking for different contacts in hangouts because you can only use one account at a time they dont combine the contacts of the 2 accounts
It seems like Hangouts does not work with the Galaxy Gear (watches), huh?
my choice messenger will always be WhatsApp (messaging, voice/video clips, voice calling) for its simplicity, yet is pretty feature-packed. i hate what Talk has become (since it became Hangouts Messenger). but for voice or video calling, i ultimately prefer WeChat. the quality is really good and it holds on to a connection pretty well (doesn't disconnect so easily) when in poor signal conditions.

I like the way Google Messenger and Hangouts work with group messages but for right now I can't get with the lag that both app have so im sticking with the stock messaging app for the moment. if they update them to make the more fluent I will jump on hangouts. Google Messenger also have too many colors.
I went back to the stock messaging app, Google hangouts doesn't have quick reply, and it lags.

I noticed the new 4.0 version of Hangouts lags backing out of app and opening some MMS. Clearning cache/data and reverting to previous stock version fixes the lag.
I'm currently using Google messenger. It does lag a bit.

Stock messages works just fine for me
Textra
Yeah Google hangouts is really laggy I went back to messages. I'd type several letters before they'd register on screen

I only had this problem with the stock keyboard. No lag problems for me on hangouts + Swype.

UPDATE : This man was right. Totally made a difference
I have this with Hangouts 4 and Swiftkey. Constant lag. But the Sammy messenger app is butt ugly.
I'm using hangouts due to the Google voice ans hangout integration. It is a bit laggy with swiftkey
I just started using textra, I like it so much more. Just had to disable it from turning the screen on.

Hangouts notifications were really inconsistent for me on the Note 3, so I'm not even going to bother testing with the N5. I have my Google Voice integrated into Hangouts, and I use it occasionally for work chatter, but nothing that requires any sort of reliability.
I only stick with stock apps if they off what I want, and that's mainly a Quick Reply feature. I was using Google Messenger as my SMS app because my last phone (One M8) did not have that built in. Since the Note 5 does have it, I found no need to use Google Messenger anymore. And I like the stock app cause I can quick reply while in landscape aswell. Google Messenger would only allow you to quick reply in portrait.

Check out an app called Gear Notifications. It will allow you to reply to hangouts messages. The device also has a thread on the gear s forum on xda.

If you are using the stock keyboard because you like google's speech-to-text, check out the swype xposed plugin 'SwypeTweaks.' Replaces the dragon voice with google's. I get lots of lag in several apps with the Samsung keyboard on my Note 5...Swype all the way for me.
android version 6.0
stock LG messaging app
google keyboard
this phone is my wife's. when she types an 8 and also a dash it comes up as a pink musical note (examples attached, one pic is what my wife sees and the other is what i recieve). When i receive it, it comes in correctly.
it does this with both the google keyboard or the stock lg keyboard. changing the default sms app to Google Hangouts it will then work as it should. So i figure the problem is with the stock messaging app.
I have cleared the cache for the lg stock messaging app, google keyboard, and then for the system. will clearing data for the lg messaging app delete all her text messages?
any help would be appreciated
