[Q] How to remove popups like this

I want to be able to continue to use the stock messaging app and still be able to use group messaging. When a group message gets long this stupid message always shows when reentering the message thread. I have searched forever and can't figure out how to disable these kinds of messages. I would be eternally grateful for help. Thanks!!

In your messaging app's settings there should be an option under multimedia for MMS Alert. Uncheck that option.

It is unchecked but it still shows. Again only in group messages.

I figure there has to be a way to stop those type of popups, I just can't figure it out. Mine has always done it regardless of the fw I am on.

You could always use the xposed module EnhancedToast. That'll let you create filters.

Oh I love you! Thanks that worked perfectly! !

[APP] Google Dialer

This is a modified dialer apk, and root is NOT required. All credit for this goes to those mentioned in the original OP.
I know this is in the S6 forums, but it is confirmed (by me) working on G5.

Works great. Thank you

Does this app actually make the call or is it just a dialer that opens the LG app soon as you hit send? I'm just looking for a solution to the stock app because it turns hot pink when you hang up... It's the only thing about this phone that I don't like. It's driving me crazy ?

Goto Settings > Apps > *Touch the 3 dots in the top right corner* and select Configure Apps > Default Apps > Phone App > *Select the Google Dialer. It will be listed as simply "Phone"
I have not tested this for incoming calls just yet, but for outgoing, it will skip the stock dialer completely. Hope this helps.

Yes this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the help. No more ugly dialer. And it also works for incoming for me. Actually, the entire app works like it should - settings and all.

Good Good... Glad to hear it works as it should for you.

so no caller ID though... I wonder if the Tmobile Name ID feature will still work
Well standard caller ID works.. I will have to wait till an unknown number calls me to test the rest.

The latest version that was in the actual thread crashes for me. The version in the OP works fine. Thanks!

Stupid question maybe, but what exactly do you find wrong with the stock G5 dialer app, and what makes the Google dialer more desirable?
TIA

It's more visually pleasing? For people who really want a stock Google experience, it's one more thing to get you closer to that. With this and the Contacts app installable from APK Mirror, I'm officially using all the stock Marshmallow apps for everything but my Exchange email.

I find the LG dialler requires more finger presses. But I'm coming from the Song Xperia dialler.
New call: Go to dialler. Possibly not on the call tab so click that. Start to type name and some suggests come up. Click on the [v]. Select the person/number to call. And now the bit that annoys me, press the call button. If I click on number why not just call them, why show number and wait for me to press another button?
Call back: So I missed a call. Go to dialler, go to call logs, click on the call I missed. Show the contact details. WTF? So now I click the phone icon and call. Yes I know there is a little call icon but I'm used to clicking a phone number and it dials it. Not have to locate one tenth of the call log line to start a call.
Anyway, I'll get used to it but I do think I have to do more work for simple calls versus other diallers.

Wow. That is as clear and concise an answer as I could ask for. I wish my wife would answer simple questions like that, but I have to ask her twenty follow-up questions just to get an answer to the first one! So, I do see what you mean, and I have found it at least a little annoying myself. I guess I just accepted it as the way it is. Never really thought to look for a different dialer, but by golly it just might be worth a look now. Thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I hope you type much faster than I do, but I use Swype keyboard.

Does the original Dialer needs to be uninstalled first before installing Google-Dialer 3.00?
-> If yes, where to get that original Dialer found and uninstalled?
How about if Google-Dialer will be updated in future to 3.xx?
- Auto-Update or manual update needed?
- Link to webside to be able to always have the latest version installed?
Thx

It's crashing on me. Where can I get one that works?

Ive had no issues with this. Been using it for a week or so & has been flawless.

Also been working for me with no issues. Combined with the Google Contacts app and then Calendar, Clock, and Calculator, throw an icon pack into Nova, and I seriously feels like I'm stock. Very very happy.

as soon as i click on the icon i get "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" message.

There are several versions out there. It would be helpful if ya'll would specify which version is or is not working. I am running the 2.05.07_rc4 with no issues. I haven't tried the 3.0 version yet.

Textra Attachment Issues

Anyone else using Textra on the Note8 not seeing a way to attach files to text messages? I'm a beta tester, so I left some feedback for the Textra devs, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone experienced this and found a resolution:
Next to the text input box, theres a +. Tapping that icon should pull up recent pictures and a bar across the bottom allowing me to select gif, pictures, etc. I used this app on my Note5, and my husband uses it on his Galaxy S6. On the Note8, however, tapping the + only bring up an emoji selection box. I've checked all permissions and did the standard clear cache/reinstall stuff to troubleshoot. Before anyone brings it up, I can go to a picture in my gallery and share that way, just looking for a solution to attaching while still in the Textra app.

i get this when i hit the + on the non beta

Thanks, bub. For some reason my nav bar appears to be covering that bar.

If you turn the phone to landscape then the options to attach pics and gifs show up. It's annoying but it will do for me until a fix is pushed out.

Same issue here. I wish there was a way to get rid of that big ugly nav bar when the keyboard is open. What is Samsung thinking with that eyesore?

I'm actually having issues receiving MMS messages. Some playstore comments from note 8 users are saying the same thing. Sent something to the developers today. Figure they'll be seeing it on Monday.

Thanks for replying, duders. If you haven't already, email the devs and let them know.

Have you rebooted your phone recently? I hadn't since I got it last week. Was going back and forth with Textra support (in a positive way) and then I thought to rebooted...and textra worked fine. I felt stupid for not thinking about doing that. Might help, won't hurt.

Yeah, I've rebooted a few times. It's an issue with the soft navigation a buttons covering the attachment bar. App dev things. [emoji17]

Does textra work with advanced messaging yet?

I was trying to get some screenshots of the issue and how the bar shows only in landscape mode. Apparently Bixby commands force portrait mode and get hidden by the emoji list. Likewise, I tried with the SPen but the air command menu also gets covered and I'm unable to interact with it.

I dont believe so.
We are also having issues with sending a Live Message (MMS) from textra. My wife and I are both, begrudgingly, using the stock messaging app until Textra gets this fixed.

T-Mobile is good tho...

I chatted with a textra rep and she stated rcs does not work on T-Mobile .
However i am able to send live messages direct from textra to another phone i have. That phone is also on T-Mobile so it seems T-Mobile have no issues with sending /receiving gifs/live messeages...

Same here I just tried googling some help and found your post. Textra doesn't play nice with N8

Not everyone is having the issue.
Maybe specific to beta testers on beta firmware or/and carrier specific nonsense.
T-Mobile user here and textra is working fine in seeing the tool bar and sending in/receiving gifs and such.and im not the only one that is having success, so its not totally fair to say this app is failing everyone.

There is a workaround from Textra.
Settings > Display > Navigation Bar > click the text under Show and Hide Button > turn off Textra
They are working on a fix.

Is the samsung messages widget missing?

Did anyone else notice the Samsung messages widget is missing from Galaxy Note 9? I use the built in messages app (not google's messages app, samsungs), and I used to have the widget on my home screen on my Note 8 that showed the messages window. Now I don't see a widget for it?

I don't have the phone with me so I can't check right now. I did notice you can't change the text background anymore and that kind of pisses me off. I don't like goSMS or Textra. I don't want a 3rd party app. It sucks they stick you with no options to change background or chat bubble colors.

Its just not there. They also removed a feature I used quite often on my S8: Bixby dictation by pressing and holding button while keyboard is open. It was super convenient.

I noticed it too... If you find anything, please let me know! I'll do the same!

It is unfortunate, I guess it may be time to switch over to Googles "messages" app instead now because it does have the widget!

I think that is still there somewhere. When I was setting up Bixby I turned it off. It asked if I wanted to allow it to control the keyboard or something in Messages.

Yep no messages backgrounds.

Go to Textra. It's better than either of the ones mentioned.
Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if Textra has a widget (I don't use widgets for texting). It's just an amazing texting app.

It don't matter that much I use WhatsApp or telegram primarily. Looks like an indicator that perhaps Samsung is winding down it's messaging division?

Dictation is there. In the upper left of the keyboard there's a revolving menu button. Has a smiling face on it. It should be there. If it is not there press the triangle on right side and move it.
As for the messages widget missing. Looks like Samaung removed it.

Google Messages Bug

Google Messages v--4.1.067 (Ettin_RC12_xxhdpi.arm64-v8a.phone) on Galaxy S10
When I open a chat with a person and tap on the "write a message" text box, instead of the text box coming up simply, the text box comes up AND it gives me the option tray of copy, paste, web search, etc. This is the thing you usually get if you double tap or press and hold. I'm getting it with a single tap and it's kinda annoying. Can anyone reproduce this? Any idea for a fix?

I have the same issue, pops up on both the stock messaging app AND google messages.

This is an issue with the March Security update or at least I hope it's an issue and not something new. I've made a post about it in the S10+ forum but haven't seen many responses to it. For me it happened every time I touched in a text field to bring up the keyboard. I know 2 other people that have the same issue after updating as well. I've rolled back to the February patch for now as it was pretty annoying for me.

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one experiencing this. It is quite annoying.

So I've been digging into this a little and it appears to be a bug with Samsung's Clipboard History service. I can't figure out how to disable it. I tried disabling a few things using ADB with no luck. If you go into your clipboard history and "Delete All" it will no longer be an issue. I don't know if anyone knows how, but if there's a non-root method to remove Samsung's clipboard service it'll 'fix' the issue for now.

Yeah, I discovered this shortly after my post. I wasn't using the autofill service at first. But if you get rid of your password autofill service it'll go away lol. General Management > Language and Input > Autofill Service and set it to "None". This is a work around, but Dashlane people don't have to use the autofill service.
Its a sh itty work around but whatever. I can't figure it out. I hope it's fixed in April update.

Does this happen any where else besides the message app? I was having this issue in any text field that required me to tap in it to bring up the keyboard. I tried both Gboatd and Samsung keyboards and they both did the same. Can't remember if I tried the stock message app or not. I've rolled back to the Feb patch and will keep ignoring the update until it's fixed.

No I don't use Gboard. I just realized my phone sort of does this but I never knew it. The first thing I do when I get a phone is remove the Samsung dialer, messages, etc, and install Google Dialer and messenges. Up till I played around with it upon reading your post I never touched the message area before starting to type, I've never had to. For the heck of it this morning, I touched that area and the paste clipboard pop-up appeared. Like I said, I never see that because I just start typing and never saw it that way.
This has been from the first time I used the phone on the original software.

When I open Google Messages and tap on a chat to open, it opens the chat with the keyboard hidden. I have to tap on the text box at the bottom of the page to activate the keyboard. Gboard, Samsung keyboard, and SwiftKey have the same behavior.
