Hi
I have never used the default HTC messenger program for sending and receiving txt messages. Now that I have root I was thinking about removing it; if I remove it will that cause any problems in my ability to send and receive txt messages?
Was also thinking about removing:
Amazon MP3 Store (or what ever it is called in 2.1)
Stock
Peep

Other apps piggy back off stock message app.

So removing the stock message app is prob not a good idea then?
Yeah, don't remove it unless you don't want any texts! All the market apps piggyback the htc app's connection / protocol and just disable the notifications for the original app.
You can remove the others you listed with no problems though
I just want to make sure, if I remove peep, I can still receive twitter updates if I download a third party client from the marketplace?

Yes, you can.
I was curious of the same question as you. It sucks for me though because I use Handcent for my sms/mms needs but even with the notifications disabled in the stock messaging app it still pops up in both
I had handcent, default messages, and google voice on my phone back when I was running stock 1.5 and I only recieved notifications from handcent. I am not sure which rom you are running or which settings in messages you have checked or unchecked. Let me know.
I can't seem to get my contact pictures to display in my third party messaging apps. They show in my contacts just not any of my messaging apps (Handcent SMS/Sliding Messenger) Any fixes for this? By the way, I'm rooted on the Icarus HD rom, but even before then I had no luck. Also, they do show on my stock messaging, just none of the third party apps.
Hello,
I am using a BLU Vivo XL with metroPCS service and I am having a two MMS issues: 1) Every MMS is duplicated, and 2) MMS service is very unreliable over WiFi. Also, I have 1 sms issue where my messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread.
I have updated my APN information to the t-mobile settings. I have had a "phone reset" by a metroPCS CSR over chat. Any ideas on how to rectify these issues?
Similar Problem
I have a similar problem on AT&T. I get duplicate group messages while using google messenger. It only happens with group messages and is fine with normal MMS. Sorry I was unable to help, but you are not alone.

I'm trying to use my BLU Vivo XL with Chomp Messenger (AT&T). It seems to work other than it won't play any notification sounds no matter which one I choose. It's not blinking the message led either.
I was having the same issue on T-Mobile, my solution was to go through each contact and make sure there were no spaces in any contact numbers. Example: 1 (123) 456-7890 would give me problems, but 1(123)456-7890 worked just fine.

Exactly the same with me on AT&T. Any time someone sends me an MMS, I get 2 pictures instead of just one. Crazy. I also get the issue where I send a SMS, and then when they reply, it starts a new thread instead of appearing in the one I just sent. Weird. Let me know if you figure this out.
I seem to have found the CAUSE of this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I had the same problem as the OP when receiving MMS. Instead of getting one picture, I would always get 2. No matter who was sending to me. Also, as the OP stated, "messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread."
I remembered that when I got this phone, I replaced the stock messaging app with Google Messenger (I thought the stock messenger was lacking). I had a hunch that the 2 messaging apps were somehow conflicting with each other. So I deleted google messenger and had my daughter send me a picture. Boom. Problem fixed. I received only one picture from her using the stock messenger app. So I re-installed the Google Messenger app from the play store and had her send me the same picture again. This time, I received TWO pictures. I have no idea how to fix this behavior as you cannot "disable" the stock messenger app. I probably could try a different messenger app other than Google Messenger, but that's the one that I like. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I deleted Google Messenger and tried a different messenger just to test, and it worked as it should. So it must me some kind of incompatibility with Google Messenger, and I'm guessing other messenger apps.

Yup, there appears to be a non-stock messenger app problem. Both Google Messenger and Textra were resulting in duplicate MMS.
I saw this thread and thought I would jump on here real quick. My GF also has metro PCS and she keeps trying to swap the default messaging client out with say GO SMS pro. And whenever she gets a new text she doesnt get any audible notifications. And the LED doesnt light up so she has to manually check her phone all the time. Has anyone else experienced that? Have a fix?

Swipe down from the status bar, click the little icon on the right, select GO SMS pro, toggle the Set to important notice.
Phone type: Blu Life One X on Android 5.1 (whatever happened to Blu promises for a droid version update? Word of caution: Don't believe Blue marketing 'promises'. Nice phone, but don't buy it unless its the OS you are willing to live with until your next phone)
Ever since google began sending love notes about its texting app becoming obsolete and I began using a different texting app (forget which one), I started having problems with duplicate messages being received. Last night I installed Textra and thought the problem was finally gone. Today while looking at the same texts received during testing last night, I suddenly have duplicate texts from last night for some messages (they were single copies last night). Really bizarre. I have also noticed that with Textra, the double text replies seem to now be only with my group texts.
Reading various threads, I became suspicious that maybe something in the Google contact phone numbers has become corrupted. Sure enough, some of the group contact phone numbers could no longer be easily edited. I messed around with the suspect contact information until I could edit the phone number to its simplest form (from +1 (123) 345-7890 changed to 123-456-7890). Seems to be working now. Will need another day to see if the texting acts up once again.
Now to figure out what is corrupting my Google contact information...
it's the 6.0 marshmallow update ..my Blu Vivo was just fine until i updated my phone i suggest you factory reset your phone.
I have a stock, Sprint HTC One M7 running Android 5.0.2 & HTC Sense 6.0.
Has anyone had the problem where a 3rd party messaging app (Google Messenger, Pulse, etc.) is not storing and providing notifications of incoming messages? Almost daily, I have instances where people will send me a text, and I get no notification from the 3rd party app. If I go into HTC Messages, I do see those texts, but again they are not storing in the 3rd party app. I do not have HTC Messages set as the default app.
I did communicate with one developer and he thinks the HTC Messages is not writing properly to the internal database. I'm guessing other messaging apps pick up the messages from a single database, then show a notification? I'm still stock, so I can't disable HTC Messages.
Any suggestions to solve this?
Thanks for your time,
Eric
I have a blu vivo xl phone. I have both a stock app and a 3rd party app. on the stock app I have a door bell ringtone and I hear DING DONG when I get an email for 3rd party app.
On the 3rd party I have a cash register sound and i hear CHA CHING when I get an email for the w3rd party app?
Is this possible?
