I use 'Textra' as my SMS messaging app and have set it as the default in settings, but after a restart notice it doesn't stick and I have to set it as default again.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a fix? Thanks.
I use Messages instead of the default Messaging app and it sticks.
Global EU ROM v2.09 here
The phone is dumb when you switch default apps because of the gaming mode. It's a bug. Email support. It also will bug out if you attempt to install a new launcher, until you go in and manually change it.
So until the bug is fixed, use:
Settings
Apps and Notifications
Default Apps

Yes I have the same issue as well, I use Google Messages and every time I restart my phone it keeps going back to the stock messaging app.
Hi,
Same problem here : Textra doesn't stick...
Regards.
I was using Swype keyboard, but it kept reverting to GBoard.
I thought it was a Pie thing, but maybe not.
Anyway, I read something about adding apps that you want to stick as default apps to Game Space...
Is that a thing?

After disabling default apps the apps do stick to what u set as default
Disabling the stock messaging app, after setting Google Messages as default, stops the stock app from taking over after reboot.
I cannot send sms but I can receive them any help I am on cn rom

Whenever I get a message using Handcent I also get a duplicate message in my stock msgr. How do I disable this? I have Handcent set as my default msngr.
have you tried going into stock app then
menu > settings > auto retrieve > off ?
might only apply to MMS tho and not regular SMS...if that doesn't work, dunno
On the stock msgr, you go into settings and turn off the notifications under settings, like sound, vibrate etc.
if you are rooted and wanna use handcent sms.. rather than the default then just use root explorer go to system/apps then delete the mms.apk

You have no idea how much this duplicate msg. Thing has been bothering me. Thus worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the help and especially the quick reply.

How can I get the native mms to stop popping up with handcent mms? I've tried disabling auto retrieve along with removing the mms.apk, but it still pops up.
Any idea on how to make sure the native mms doesn't popup when receiving a new message?
default messaging application > settings >In the notifications settings , uncheck the notification bar.

Be careful with that, you will most likely kill mms, unless one of the recent handcent updates has changed something.

I remember reading that deleting important apk's like that via root explorer can be dangerous. If you decide to delete it that way, make a nand backup first.

I've been using handcent for quite some time now. I simply go into the stock SMS application and turn absolutely everything off, including auto-retrieve, notification sounds, notification vibrate, etc.
My settings are backed up through Titanium Backup, so when I flash a new ROM, I just re-apply the backup of the settings. Works wonderfully for me.

Tried this, but then I can't get MMS (messages with photo attachments). Everything else works, but MMS stops working.
To begin with, I am only getting messages duplicated when they come through a gateway such as [email protected]. The ones that come direct from other people are usually fine and I get only 1. I've searched and searched for the answer for this and can't seem to find it.
Does handcent load super slow for you guys. Had to stop using because of that.

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.

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

I've just set up my nexus 6 with Fi, running the PureNexus rom. All my sms go through the hangouts app, although I have the default sms app to google messenger. This isn't a huge problem, but I would prefer to use the stock messenger app for its mms capabilities.
Any suggestions?

Just Open your device's Settings menu.
Under "Wireless & networks", touch More.
Touch Default SMS app and change it googles one

Yeah, thanks, I've already changed it to default in the main settings menu. All messages still go through hangouts. I've tried rebooting to no effect.
To be more clear, I have set the default messaging app to Google Messenger. I can send messages with messenger, but responses always come back through hangouts.

I tried this, it didn't help. I can send messages through messenger, but responses still come through in hangouts. Now that hangouts is disabled on my nexus, they don't come in on my phone, however I am able to view responses on the hangouts desktop app and on my tablet.
Fixed it
If anyone else can't figure it out I managed to fix the problem. In the hangouts settings menu there are two options for setting the default messaging app, one in the main menu, and one under account settings. Both have to be set for google messenger.
I have my P20 pro since Mars and I have problems with my SMS app notifications, they are not reliable, sometimes i receive a sms I get the notification in that moment, other times I open the app to see that I had recibed a sms several hours erlier and din't get any notification like sound, led light, diplyed on the Always on screen or dot over the app.
I'm using the MS launcher (the E.M.U.I 9.1 is just awful) with all permition and app runing on back ground. This apens with de system sms app or any other app for sms that I instaled and just apens with the SMS app everything else works perfect, also tryed other launchers and hard reset the phone.

Did you try settings>>battery>>app launch? Make sure you select the sms app and set it to manage manually and make sure the options to run in background etc are both set.

If you're using the stock app, have you turned off WiFi messages?? In chat feature??
Doesn't always work and can cause delays as it will assume your recipients also have the same features set up.

You aren't online. There's no connectivity icon at all.
We have the same phone so it should be available.
Unless its region specific, but I doubt that.
Install another messaging application, handcent used to be pretty good, but it's been a while.

I think that is a regional feature, even with mobile data on still don't have 'chat features'. I also have sms organizer from Microsoft, nice app, but the problem persist.

I'm only able to use the default messenger I can't switch default apps.
Anyone find a solution to this? I'm on RealmeUI, CN version and changing default messaging app lasts a few minutes before the pop-up notification that messaging is reverting to the default app.
