Hello,
I recently started using SMS Pro per recommendations from others posting on this forum. For the most part, it works great. Because I use my Note as my pager and need it to wake me from sleep, I have it set to repeat the audible notification 8 times if I get paged with a text message. However, unlike my prior iPhone, simply viewing and clicking away the text after I read it doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy the Note/SMS Pro- it keeps reminding me the entire 8 times. This has become annoying. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do so that once I view the text and dismiss it, it will not continue to send audible alerts?
Thank you

I get hundreds of emails every day and I currently get a notification but no audio tone or vibrate as it would be going crazy. This is how I want my general email notifications set up. So that part is fine. What I do want however is for starred messages to play a tone/vibrate similar to my text messages. I went into Gmail and then Manage Labels within the menu and I confirmed that 'Starred' is set to sync all and ring, vibrate, notify once. This to me seems like it should be notifying the way I just described that I'm looking for but there is no different notification for starred messages the way I had hoped. What am I doing wrong here?
Anyone? I can't seem to get this to work no matter what I do.
I've got a stock Verizon S4, and I'm using the stock Messaging app. Sometimes, I get audible notifications when a new SMS message arrives, but often I don't. I cannot consistently reproduce the problem. I just tried rebooting, and the first message I got after the reboot only vibrated, even though notification volume is set to 7/7.
Gmail and Mail apps seem to behave as expected--audible notification on first new email received, but no audible notifications for subsequent until I check email...then first message received after the check is audible again.
Messaging app will sometimes give an audible alert for every message received, even if there are other unchecked messages already presernt (which is what I want), and sometimes will not alert for any message, whether it's the first unchecked or not.
I do use Llama, but I've confirmed that the "Normal" profile is active, and I've manually checked all the volumes and they're set where they're supposed to be. (All are 5/7 or higher.)
Anyone else have any issues with Messaging notifications?
Whoops...apparently it _is_ Llama. (More specifically, apparently it's the default Samsung messaging app, and how it reacts to the way most automatic sound profile-changing apps (including Llama) handle vibration settings.)
I'd searched for threads on this problem before I posted, but apparently not well enough. Found this one today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261746&page=2
For Llama users, the dev has figured out why the S4 acts differently, and has a beta version of Llama available to handle it. Check out the June 24, 2013 post on the dev's blog, here: http://kebabapps.blogspot.com/ .
Thanks to user kanahpoo in the referenced thread above for the pointer.
When I get a message from facebook, it almost always looks the same. usually along the lines of "this is the fir..." but sometimes it is formatted such that it is a long paragraph on the messenger app displaying most of the message but the ending is still cut off with elipses. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem? The last thread I found on the topic was from 6 months ago when there was no messenger support for android wear and it was just the notifications being pushed to the watch. Now that there is notification support is there some way to get the whole message to the watch?
Edit: Discovered that this only happens when there are multiple unread messages in a conversation. very annoying.
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've searched around and I think the keywords are a little too generic to find what I'm trying to do.
When I'm using the messaging application (SMS) to speak to somebody else on an Android phone it keeps switching between SMS and 'chat'. It flicks between the two and slows the phone down, plus I don't really want delivery notifications or anything like that. I just want to send good old fashioned text messages. I have also found that 'chat' can be quite flakey, I have sent a few 'chat' messages to a friend who received them all 12 hours later. I'm constantly having to tap the menu and press 'Switch to SMS'. Irritating...
I've gone through the settings in the messaging application but I can't find any way to disable 'chat' all together. Am I missing something blindingly obvious here?
Thank you
I started noticing a slowdown on my LG V20 in the last week or 2. It was very random. I believe it is because I have about 57,000 text messages.
I do not need 57,000 text messages. I normally use Chomp or Textra apps. At this time, some text messages started to not come through to me. For example, my boss texted me and then called me later when I did not respond. Screenshots show she sent the text but I never received it. This happens rarely, but has happened with my sister and my wife as well.
I loaded the default AT&T text message and asked it to truncate all converstaions at 1000 messages per thread (I have 2 threads over 12000 messages). It was unable to do it. I then installed Textra again and asked it to do the same thing - it could not delete old messages or keep conversations at 1000. However, Textra shows some of the dropped text messages. The other apps (Chomp, default AT&T, and Handcent) do not show them at all.
My only solution is to delete all the text messages. I would like to keep the recent ones but no app seems to be able to keep the limits I have set on the threads.
Is there some type of SMS/MMS management app that would manually force the conversations to their limits (1000 messages per conversation?).
I believe when I updated to this phone, and I transferred my messages from my S7, maybe an error was introduced?
One conversation thread has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it. Maybe that thread is damaged?
Any advice appreciated.
