its horrible, you can't send higher res pics, you can even take a picture within the app without horrible quality
between Google messenger, and WhatsApp, i got everything I need.
I've never bothered with MMS, they have always been a pain to use, and compatibility across cell phone carriers it's abysmal.
I you are from Company A, you send MMS to friend on another phone Company B, chances are they will not get the picture.
that happened so often, that made MMS obsolete, specially with the intro of Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat, QQ, ICQ, Hangout,etc...
Toss out all HTC stock apps is my suggestion. Get Google dialer. Get Google messenger or Facebook messenger if you want chatheads. Get Google calendar. Get Google clock.

Textra also does chat heads too :fingers-crossed:
Sooo the stock messages app is the google messenger app, just realized it while trying to download it, I hate it, it's sends low res pictures, is there anyway to change quality or another good txt msg app?

I use Google Messenger, Calendar and Inbox instead of HTC's apps, but I do keep HTC's flip clock, it's an emblem.
And what's wrong with HTC's dialer, but the dark theme not available ?

Same. Android is just the name of the system Google developed.
Texting and MMS?!? Haven't used those for the last couple of years. WhatsApp has me covered for pretty much everything and more.
Good if you have no data signal though for a quick message.
MMS? Does that still exists?? I can't remember receiving one. And never sent one... Yes in the early days.

When I first got my Evo, the notifications worked. Now they don't. I came from a bb and when I heard the facebook app got reworked it made it a little easier to make the switch. Now I am not a facebook crazy teenager, I am in the military and I use it to talk to friends over seas. Sometimes the notifications can mean if I get to talk to a good friend or not . Is this a facebook issue or an Evo thing. What's weird is that my wife has an Evo too and it works for her phone. But I seem to read that it conflicts with sense. Is this a myth, or is there some fact behind this. As I am typing this I am running CM7, if that makes a difference.

Facebook notifications = epic fail... sometimes they work... most of the time they don't. Blame facebook..
Facebook = Epic Fail
Facebook for android in itself is worthless. The notifications work every now and then but they still havent added real notifications for things like comments and likes.
They've never worked for me, but I have facebook setup to send me email for the notifications I want... and my Evo gets those emails instantly. Seems like a good solution.. works great for me, anyway.
What he said^ f#%* the notification, just wait for the email. :/

If you really need notifications, I suggest using Flow from the market.

Thx guys. I appreciate the replies. There is always the chance a post like this turns into instant flaming, but I am glad that didn't happen. Thx for the insight. I just wanted to make sure that there want something I couldn't do as far as the setup side of the app that I was perhaps missing. Thx again.

U can also have the notifications sent to u as text. Works the same for me.
I used to use a beta of bloo when I had the Moment. But that was hit or miss as well. But at that time it was way better than the facebook app that was available.

Flow is way better IMO especially since you can set it up now for push notifications.
Going to check out Flow. I wonder why Facebook just doesn't utilize this as notifications without getting Gmail notifications all the time.
Check out my black social apps. The notifications work at times but at least the colors and icons look good
Ok...I am looking at how to set this up, and unless I am reading this wrong, isn't my inbox going to get flooded with facebook emails? Right now I have them archived, and for that specific reason.

ud get the same thing if u were getting notifications from the facebook app itself just not in email or by text. plus u can choose what u want to get. i only get when someone writes on my wall, sends a message, comments on a photo, or comments on a status i put out there and i use facebook alot and dont get a ton of texts. alot of the time it stays in the same thread for my text
This is partially true. For Flow to work the email has to be sent to the inbox. For the facebook app, I can have them archived and still get the notification.

#1 Any news on honeycomb version?
#2 anyone else having trouble getting it to sync? It wont even let me add the facebook account on the accounts page.
Facebook no longer syncs with Android. That's for Gingerbread, but I'll bet they implemented it in Honeycomb, too.
And as for a version for HC, I doubt they'll have one cooked up before spring considering how slow they are with the regular Android version.
You didn't block apps from your Facebook did you? I had a problem recently where I could set up the normal Facebook app, on my EVO, but facebook for sense kept failing. Turns out when I went nuts removing annoying apps and trying to lock down my facebooks security, I blocked future unofficial apps.
I can confirm the facebook contacts don't sync on honeycomb. Although Twitter contacts still do. Must be software thing and less a google thing. When you try to add the account to accounts & sync it just flashes and drops you back to accounts.
It actually has more to do with Google's rules for Android. Here's a better explanation of it.
Engadget
It's something Facebook will have to deal with if they ever want the feature to return.
Do they even have a iPad version of Facebook out?
Well Facebook is not happy with Google stop the sync.
Probably FB will demand it back before making the Android tablet version
One thing that I want for FB is MULTI USER client app!!!!!
Which I can choose account to use

Friend Me works really well, it's made specifically for Honeycomb, and it's FREE. The ads are well done so it's not intrusive and for $3 using in app billing u can unlock the ad free version.
The only downside is as of yet they don't have any widgets

Better than creating a new thread to discuss a topic that has already been introduced, don't you think?
So I was all excited about it, the new Hangout and today I installed it. Now let me get this straight, the SMS feature, that will just replace my native messaging app and I will be sending SMS via Hangout instead of my native app, and it will be sent normally via my carrier. I mean why on earth would one use this feature? What am I missing here? What's the point?

Yeah exactly. If iPhone 5C is the most ridiculous device of this planet, then this so called 'upgrade' of G-Talk to Hangout is the most ridiculous software update ever made

Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion. I am going to try just using the default messaging app for now.
I did with my last phone. But not with this one. I don't like the same pic for different ways to chat with the same person.

Hmmm.. because it makes things 100 times easier. You can text from your phone, get home or at work and continue right from your computer.
It was googles answer to Imessage for the Gphone.
Also has video calling RIGHT from the app, no need to switch and hope the other person has something installed

I've gone back and forth, Hangouts sometimes takes a while to launch which annoys me since I drive all day for work and like to respond to texts at stoplights. I've just enabled ART so maybe I will see better performance.
As for texting on my other devices I've been using Mighty Text on PC, Nexus 7 and phone for a while. It is ok but reading a text on PC or Tablet does not clear it from the phone, I never tried Hangouts on the other ones.

OK we were at cross purposes, I thought you meant are we using Hangouts as our SMS app. Is it the best? Down to personal choice. I mostly use Facebook since that's what most of my family are on. I have some people on Hangouts but the main person I speak to on Hangouts I have spoken to for years, originally on MSN and then gTalk so now Hangouts.
Er... no. I find EvolveSMS much better, completely uninstalled hangouts from phone. ..
I tried using Hangout. I did enjoy it, however, am using new app and am much enjoying it.
Im sure most of you read the news about hangouts now supports vzw mms or vzw finally supporting google voice... regardless, this is great news for me since my primary phone has being my Google voice for a long time.
I'm looking forward to a way of making hangouts being less laggy on the Note, if anyone was able to make it more smooth, please share.

Right... it is weird, it is very laggy on my wife's S5, was laggy on my S5. It is laggy on a G3 I have laying around and also on my Galaxy Tab S. I have a original Moto X and on the Moto X it isn't laggy... I'll keep an eye on the development of this issue, I have 2 year warranty anyway (and never keep a phone for that long) if it turns out to be a defective device I'll replace it.

Thanks for this! I've been giving out my Google Voice number for years and the whole MMS thing has been the one thing I hated about it.
I just tested with a friend who sent me a pic and it got shifted over to email. Not ideal, but since I get email on the phone too it's a lot better than it just disappearing into cyberspace.
I haven't integrated Hangouts with Voice yet so maybe that's why it got turned into an email. I've been hesitant to integrate the two. Does anyone know how to separate them again if I try it and don't like it?

I don't know how to separate them, never tried really but the reason you got the picture on an email is because the Google voice app doesn't support pictures, even back in the day when T-Mobile and Sprint were the only two supported for MMS I think it was received as an email.
Make the jump to hangouts and it will all work fine. By the way, when you switch it to hangouts, you'll have to forward your calls again to your Verizon phone # OR you can use the hangouts app to make and receive phone calls. The calls handled by hangouts are over WiFi or data, like VOIP

According to this http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/10/google-voice-mms-messaging-support-for-verizon-now-official/ , group messaging is being worked on and will "be enabled in a coming update".
