Issue when texting with Google android messages (Or whatever it's called today).. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

So I have another bug that MAY have started after the Nougat update.
I use Google Android Messages for sms and GBoard for my keyboard...
Lately when i'm texting to someone, when I go to reply to a text (maybe when the text thread is already open?) my keyboard doesn't work and I have to hit the back button which makes the keyboard go away then click on the message box to activate it again so it will work.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any fixes found?
I've tried clearing cache on both apps, this didn't fix the issue for me.

SMS reading problem

Ok, so ive had my legend for a lil' while now, though recently when ive opened up an SMS conversation its jumping to the oldest message instead of the most recent. This is pretty annoying when you have a conversation with over 1000texts.. ive tried deleting all messages but this didnt work. Its not a great problem, but its just really irritating when your scrolling to through all your messages jsut to read one!
Anyone else have this problem? or had it and managed to solve it?
Bug in most recent software update, use Handcent instead, after install disable Notifications in Default messages and you'll be ready to go
Never thought of the update! Is there anyword from HTC when this bug will be fixed? or anyway to uninstall the update?

Keyboard bugs in messaging !!!

Anyone experiencing problem when writing a SMS message (text message) on stock ROM 2.1?
The thing is, that almost every time I'm writing a message, BACKSPACE-delete button and optical cursor stop working!
So I have to go "back", (you know, the order you give when done tying, just before sending the message...) and "tap" the text window again to get back to the message body, then everything works. And sometimes this happens several times before I'm done with writing and send the message.
Any ideas on what would solve the problem? Atleast notify me, if you're experiencing the same problem, so I'll know it's not just my phone...
PLEASE LET US KNOW WETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SOME OTHER ROM WOULD SOLVE. Does this problem continue after flashing the phone with some other ROM than the stock one?
Yeah I have that also, indeed incredible annoying
I haven't found a way to fix it, I just start using an other SMS app like ChompSMS or Handcent SMS. Those don't have that bug.

Odd Texting Issue - Notification Keeps Coming Back!

I have an issue right now that I've never encountered. First of all, I'm running AOKP Milestone 5, but I don't think it is related to the ROM. Also, my texting app is GoSMS. Here's what happened:
I received a text from my friend, and I saw it in my notifications dropdown. I clicked on it and it opened GoSMS as it should, but instead of opening to the text that I clicked on, it opened to a blank text and was prompting me to insert a sender name (as if I want to compose a new text). I thought that was odd, but exited the app and went back into it. The text that I had gotten a notification about was not in my thread list. Again, confusing, but I figured it was a glitch of some sort.
Now comes the weird part... the notification came back again! I thought maybe I forgot to clear it. So I simply swipe it away. Within one minute, it comes back AGAIN! Now I try to open it again, and again GoSMS opens up and I am greeted with the "compose new text" screen, NOT the text I clicked on. This has happened for the last 24 hours now. I've cleared cache, I've restarted the phone multiple times, and nothing worked. I have a constant notification with a preview of the same text. It regenerates within a minute if I clear the notification. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? It's irritating because now when someone texts me, the notification says "2 messages" instead of telling me who the ONE and only new message is from. I no longer can preview my texts through my notifications.
Should I just reflash the ROM, or do you think I need to clear all userdata and then reflash the ROM? Or should I uninstall GoSMS and reinstall it? I'm so confused - it would seem to be network related or something.
Help is greatly appreciated!!
i would start with the easiest thing first. uninstall gosms and all data for it, then reinstall it. if that doesnt fix it, id try to do a full wipe and reflash rom.
Wipe the messenger app data also (unless you uninstalled the system app).
That actually does sound more like a possible rom problem though.
Uninstalled GoSMS, wiped data from texting app, now waiting for the magical ghost text. I'll update soon. Thanks guys!
I assume the issue was fixed eh?
To me it sounds like GoSMS just glitched out... app's can be troublesome.

Unfortunately, the issue isn't resolved. It didn't last long before the text came back.
do a nanddroid backup, then install a non-ICS rom and see if a text comes thru... I'm almost thinking it is an MMS message that isn't getting pushed to the phone properly. And there are different MMS problems on the ICS ROMs.

I haven't tried CM9 yet, so I think I'll flash that tonight and see how it goes. I didn't wanna wipe everything but now that I want to try CM9 (seems "everything" is working now - for hacked ICS anyway), I'll go ahead and wipe. That better fix it! Haha.

[Q] Problem with Google Now

This only started recently, but I can't send SMS through Google Now voice commands, which is nice to be able to do while driving. So maybe Google is trying to kill me? Anyway, whenever I tell it to text someone, it tells me "No SMS app installed" I couldn't find anyone else who had this issue.
should I roll back to a previous version of Now, find a new SMS app, or find a new way to send text using voice commands?
UPDATE: Using a different SMS app does not work, I installed 5 different apps and even tried Hangouts, that isn't the problem
same here
I just started having the same issue on samsung gs3. watching this post to see if anyone resolves.
I've got the same problem here with note 1

3rd Party Messaging Apps will not receive text

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.
