My mom owns Zenfone 3 and it seems, that stock SMS app (Messenger from Google) is bugged. Unread counter always shows some unread messages, even when there are none. I tried reinstalling the app from factory, clearing data, cache etc, but it didn't help. How do I fix this?

You might need to try Asus messaging app from the following post (unavailable for zen 3 from play store) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/themes/orginal-asus-messaging-apk-t3493987
It's very handy especially with 2 SIMs attached, customizable and most importantly fix the unread count issue.
Thanks, that's what I did and it works okay

if she has many sms it's natural on wildfire... just hit the wait bottom and wait wf does not have a high-end cpu so it can't handle many sms.
htc msging app sucks balls. download some other msging apps like go sms from market, should help
hit thanks if i helped you
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
tried both Go SMS and Handcent and both show the same issue. She has one thread with nearly 1700 messages in which seems to be causing the issue.
Any more ideas??
As a last resort i have gone into settings\applications\all apps\messaging and cleared all data. This has cleared all messages and then i have set up the sms app to delete sms over 100 per conversation to avoid this in future
EDIT: This did not work. SMS all still there
Right I think I have finally found a way to remove the messages. Ive downloaded "my phone explorer" and used my laptop to delete the messages remotely. Now she has SMS housekeeping set to remove messages over 100 per conversation it should look after itself
deleting messages is a real PITA. It took me about 24 hours to delete 3xxx messages once. You can delete threads with applications like handcent or stock SMS app, they will appear to freeze but after a while they will complete.
A better app I found is "SMS delete". It deletes messages one per one (with options like only delete from that number, only messages containing this word, only older than xx days, ...) and it runs in the background and also when the phone screen is off. It's still slow, but a lot less annoying, and it deletes faster the less messages there are still left on the phone.
I am searching it on the market but I can't find it as of now, I restored it myself using titanium backup. It's a green envelope with a green arrow if you would come across it...
*edit* this one http://android-apps.com/applications/communication/sms-delete-2/ but can't find it in the market, good luck
I'd try the Fix Permissions options at the settings.
Hello,
I have a Verizon play and I am getting major lag with the stock SMS app. I tried to restore the phone and nothing seems to fix it. It lags when switching from different text threads, and there is em en a delay when sending a message. Is there a fix for this ?
Thanks.
Delete some threads or try a different sms app
Delete data for messaging app,if that doesnt work reflash the phone

Make sure your auto message delete is set to 50... and when you have a lot of messages (more than a page) and a lot have pics, do a delete all threads and clear them out
I rooted my Note 3 using the Kingo method when I got my Note 3 on Wednesday. One thing I have noticed is that my notifications when I get text messags keep going non-stop, until I actually pick up the phone to reply to the text message. That is very distrubing. Is there a way that I can change the settings to where it the sound only beeps once?
Thanks
Do you have a third party messaging app or does this do it on stock? Anyhow, you can try force shopping the stock messaging app. Then clear cache/data. You might lose your messages though. You can also try wiping cache/Dalvik cache then reboot. Go to stock messaging app and then turn off Notifications. Reboot. Turn on notifications. Hope you can get it to work properly.

Thanks for replying. I do have GoSMS for my messaging. I had already disabled the stock messaging app but wasn't aware I had to clear the cache/data for it. I'll try that. Also have RCP Text Tones for my actual notification sounds. Phone is brand new, so I really wouldn't be losing much as far as messages.

Oh, I see. You can also try to clear cache/data on Text Tones to see if that helps. Sometimes when you let a third party app take care of things that the system is supposed to take care of, like ringtones and sound/led notifications, things get wonky!

Hello All!
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and im all out of ideas of what to do.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Wearable: S3 Rugged
Extra Service: DIGITS
Coming From: LGV20 which never had these issues with the same plans and accesories
So to start, when i got the phone inittially during setup of the google accounts i noticed that my OTP SMS Pushes were not being received, or auto filling the information. I skipped past all of that and noticed that anywhere that OTP text were suppose to autofill in different applications, it would not even when i received the text and got a notification.
So after a while of using TEXTRA which was working fine, one day i stopped receiving ALL text not just mms. I was able to send but never was I able to get anything from anyone. I ditched TEXTRA and went back to the stock Samsung app and noticed that all text were there, even though it was not default. After using the Samsung messages app i decided to go back to textra, heres whats funny. After Textra did it's initial setup, it only showed half of the recieved text from up to that day. Messages were incomplete, some just had one reply from a user and nothing else. So I also tried this with Android Messages and it had the EXACT same message log as textra. Both were not receiving the full logs from the server. Today Android Messaging was working for a good part of the day, then it just stopped all of sudden again.
Can someone help me with this, I've wiped the cache and factory reset the phone. Ive added and removed the multi-line settings in the samsung settings. I've tried the legacy settings on textra. I've called the DIGIT's customer service to see if they could fix it but they made and interesting point that it couldnt be digit because it wouldnt interfere with 3rd part messaging apps. When i switch apps i always make them default, i wipe the app cache etc.
I have a gut feeling this has something to do with something with the default Samsung Messages app and it somehow restricting use outside of it.
I just wanted to reply and say that I've been experiencing the exact same issue and haven't had any luck Google engineering my way around it. For me, I'm seeing the issue with Signal, so I don't believe it's the 3rd party app's problem. I can send messages (SMS/MMS), but the Samsung Messages app is the only one that "receives" them. A strange workaround I found was to download Android Messenger, set that as the default messaging app, then set Signal as the default messaging app again. This worked for a while, but I think the Samsung Messages app recently updated, and it broke this again until I repeated the above workaround.
It's annoying enough that, without a fix, I'll definitely be flashing a completely stripped ROM on this phone once we have the ability to do so to get away from all of the Samsung apps that I can't disable. And don't even get me started on Bixby...

I haven't had any issues with my At&t model...Been using Yaata since day one (about 2 months).
Also, there are some "package disabling" apps in the play store that will allow you to disable any app you want, you don't even need to be rooted. It cost me $1.99 (or around there), but was well worth it! You can even completely disable Bixby, so the button is even non-responsive.
Having the same issue and I may have fixed it. I logged completely out of Digits on the phone (settings/cloud accounts/multi line/hit the ... menu and choose log out.
I have this same issue. No matter which 3rd party SMS app I use I have missing text messages on the T-Mobile S8. Has anyone fixed this? It is driving me crazy. T-Mobile replaced my S8 and the new one does it (not as bad but it does it more than I'd like). How can I resolve this? My friend haf the same issue, he has an unlocked T-Mobile working on AT&T.
I don't use Digits or anything like that... any ideas?
hi guys
all you need to do
go to setings
device maintence
battery
scrool all the way down to unmonitored apps and add your 3rd party sms app
youre welcome
This still didn't work for me and I am having the same exact issues. I have tried installing 2 different 3rd party messaging (Textra and Mood) and both were not working properly. I can send messages out just fine but when I receive them they are delayed (like 5 minutes or longer). Sometimes, I don't get the messages at all. Of course, the Samsung Messaging app (which I hate) works just fine. I have even "Force Stopped" it! What to do?
go into the stock messaging app, and turn off advanced messaging
Has anyone found a solution? I've been using textra for years & suddenly in March I started having this problem but with sent messages. All incoming texts are displayed but my sent texts aren't. I did try the 2 suggestions above. On a note 8, Android 8.0.0,Samsung experience 9.0.
SOLVED. I had the same issues and found the solution. Before you install your 3rd party sms/MMS you need to disable the default messenger. I uninstalled signal, disabled the built-in messenger, reinstalled signal. Now I can receive texts. Also my phone is not a Samsung.
Hi,
I have installed Gboard and Google Android Messages. As soon as that,
delivery reports for text messages stopped coming.
When I was using stock Samsung Messages and Samsung keyboard
it was working fine.
I have uninstalled Gboard and Android Messages, rebooted and cleared
Samsung Messages data/cache, but it's still not working.
The funny thing is that for MMS it works fine.
Yes, I have everything enabled in Messages settings.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try enabling delivery reports in the Message settings?

Those features will only work with stock messaging app as it's a rcs feature designed solely for it.
Sprint is the only carrier that supports rcs for Android messages as of the moment. The rest of the carriers use a proprietary system that only works on that carrier.
So, it should not give delivery reports unless the person you are texting is on the same carrier. Verify that is the case. Then clear system cache if it still isn't working
I'm currently using stock Samsung messaging app and this problem has nothing to do with RCS.
Delivery reports should work for plain sms/text.

Fixed - appears to be carrier issue
Pls close thread.
Thx.
