I use GoSMS Pro as my default SMS app. Works great, looks great, is great.
Except for one issue:
People are receiving my messages twice.
I use the Quick Reply function very, very often (and I know that most people have this issue solely while using this feature.)
Does anyone have a fix? I'd like to continue using the app and the Quick Reply feature, but it's a little embarrassing to have people receive my messages twice.
Thank you.
You need to uninstall the stock messaging app using titanium backup text messaging is the name of the apk. Then uninstall Go SMS Pro, and reinstall it. Done
Won't that get in the way of future updates?
Can I freeze the stock messaging app instead?
Sorry, new to android here lol.
try it and see what happens (freezing) worst case you defrost it.

Don't uninstall the stock app as it may prevent you updating in future. Freeze instead so you can thaw when a new update comes out.
I think the latest update said they fixed that issue. Are you running the latest one?
mine works fine
Mine works fine I'm using it on top of ginger blur 3.1

I had the same issue (GingerBlur 3.1) got to the point where I had to just go back to stock. Though handcent worked quite well.

I can't say I'm a big fan of handcent, and I am running the newest version.
The people who complain about this problem are saying that it's a hit or miss. Sometimes they come in twice (but often, multiple times a day), and sometimes they don't.
It's gotta be a problem with the popup window.
Meh

Im using the new iced glacier 1.1.4 and even if i turn off the native sms's notifications, it still decides to go off when i get a message. I was wondering if its ok to use titanium backup and uninstall the native sms app since i could use handcent sms. Would i run into problems?
What if you just disable notifications in the stock app? That would do the trick.
If you do decide that you don't want stock app at all I would suggest that you freeze it rather then uninstalling it. This way its gone from app drawer and does not use resources but can be restored at will.
Good luck.

O ya i forgot i could freeze it. ill try that when i get a chance.. Well since im using this new iced glacier rom, for me theres a bug where my native sms app always go off even though i turn off its notifications and that stupid little sms icon in notifications stays there until i drag the bar down and clear it from the status bar.
But thanks alot for the advice, ill try freezing it.
i can tell you from me doing that several times .. either uninstalling it or disabling or freezing the stock message app that you will run into issues with the picture messaging .. you wont be able to send them . although from what i can remember you may still be able to recieve them ... i think
i tried this due to the handy blocck list in handcent feature .. but with the stock app you can still see whats hidden in there ...
so what i did was back up my stock MMS.apk to my sdcard then uninstall it when i know i want to use just handcent for the block and then re-install the apk when or if i need to send pictures again ..
other than that .. everything else works fine
So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms
Had this happen quite a few times.....sometimes when I click on the messaging app it opens up a random app that I have open in the background.....can't seem to fix it...occured on both launcher pro and adx or w/e the other launcher app is called....any solution?
This has been reported before. I remeber once, someone had set a swipe function accidentaly on their messaging app shortcut in the dock, and that was the culprit. I also remember this happening to people on touchwiz launcher, but it's never happened to me. If the swipe thing isnt the problem, the I would reccomend downloading an app such as Handcent sms, go sms, or chomp sms. Hope something in this post helps you.

Have you tried restarting? I know it sounds stupid but a lot of weird glitches can be solved by a simple reboot. If that doesn't help a cache/davlik wipe might.
Texted while driving
A restart does fix it....in fact an task manager end all works as well....just kinda annoying. If it happens again ill try a different SMS and see if I have better luck.
Normally this only happened on DI18, I never saw it happened after the 2.2 builds came out.

this is quite annoying, sometimes I have to hit the back hit hundreds of times, backing out of my entire history of the day at times. It happens with other apps too. But messaging is my most used one. I think it is related to holding home, and selecting the text app while in another app.
I've had this issue too... welcome to samdroid, the beautiful world where samsung has changed everything and broke it
Happens to me all the time to. Have to reboot. Only started after 2.2 never on 2.1. Wish someone could look into this as I know nothing about phone software. I did not use the ota to update I did a .exe update so it was clean.

I've experienced inside the messaging app, it'll sometimes open up somebody else's conversation. I believe it's just a glitch or my phone lagged at the time I pressed the screen. Good thing I notice it before I sent unnecessary texts. haha
I have a GN3 from Verizon. Every time I text someone or call a contact my phone freezes up for about 15 seconds. This happens mostly when I'm texting. I'm not using a stock keyboard but it does it just as bad when I'm using the built in one. This happens constantly but I don't see any other threads on this topic. Didn't figure I could be the only one.
Any suggestions?
What keyboard are you using? Are you stock/rooted/custom ROM?

By logical deduction, if this doesn't happen in any other app when you're using the keyboard, then something is up with your messaging app.
Does this happen in any other app? Have you tested it in a 3rd party sms app like handcent?

I use Swiftkey as my keyboard. However, it also freezes when I'm in contacts trying to make a phone call not only when I'm typing. It just happens most often when I'm typing.

I just wrote about this exact issue using hangouts as my default SMS. Once I got rid of it, everything went back to normal.

I'm not using Hangouts as my SMS client.
If your still completely stock, I'd try factory data reset. You'll lose everything, so definitely back up what you can.
Once the reset is done try texting with no apps installed. If it works fine, I'd slowly install apps while testing the texts to see what is causing the feeezing.

Did a factory reset on Saturday. So far so good. Today is the first day back at work so I'll get some stats today.
Recently, I've noticed that the Messaging app will automatically set itself as the default SMS app. I don't like the Messaging app, I don't want to use it. How am I able to stop this from occurring?

Well, that provides me some relief. It's been happening with all of them for the last two weeks. Messenger, invi, Textra, QKSMS, etc. I'll format sometime I guess.

This happens to me constantly. I want to use hangouts as my default messaging app, but it randomly (or so it seems) switches back to the stock messaging app. I did notice that when this happens it also switches back to the original lock screen (I use GO Locker now).
I thought about removing the messaging app (my phone is rooted), but I'm not sure how that would affect the phone. I also can't seem to find the app under the list of apps I could uninstall.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

you could try freezing it with titanium backup
Don't freeze or remove the stock messaging app. I switched from ART runtime back to Dalvik, after reading that somebody experienced problems upon switching runtimes. Are you by chance on ART?
Edit - I also ought to mention that I haven't had it reset since I made the switch.

Cool, I'm glad I asked before I tried to do so.
As far as I know I am still using Dalvik runtime.

Switching to ART and then reverting to Dalvik would be my only suggestions then at that point. I hope it's resolved, I've been loving Messenger. [emoji14]
