I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
Hey everyone, I have GOSms installed, but cannot get the emoji add on to work so that I can see emoji. I can send them just fine, but get weird messages when someone sends them to me like: X=/ and etc. I have installed the fonts and can see emoji in twitter and instagram, but not in any messaging apps. Can anyone help?
Ok let me preface this request with my trials:
I had an iPhone 4s before May and never cared for the blandness... But I loved how it just worked with group messaging and emojis.
I use texting for a lot of group messaging and unfortunately most of the individuals in the groups are iOS.
So I have tested group messaging with:
Our Stock Samsung Text messaging app which works probably the best, but the emojis suck on android and there is no stock Popup Quick Reply
Handcent... Which has nice Quick Reply and Great Emoji support BUT the MMS group messaging is super flaky! And this seems to be the same with most other apps too. I click right into a message right when someone responds and it lists the last responder and if I respond then it only sends the response to the last responder not the group... Also I get times where it will randomly have my responses send to all the individuals in seperate texts! Like "Me to 1, Me to 2, Me to 3, Me to 4" Instead of just Me to Group
Go SMS Pro.... Great Emojis also but same problems as Handcent
Textra... Same
Chomp... Same and it seems the worst. All group replies would go to each separately
I am trying Sliding Messaging Pro and it seems to be working better than the others but why don't the others work? I did notice with the first MMS group message it told me to adjust the MMS settings APN... I just told it to find it automatically and now it seems to work...
What has been your experience and how can I fix the other apps? I liked Handcent the most...
8sms in the play store.
Thanks so far I like 8sms... I just want more customization. Also the pictures turn to slide shows a lot!

Hello, I am looking for an app that can actually remove me from a group message so that I do not receive tons of useless texts that end up using my data. Currently I use Google's Messenger as my main texting app, as we all know the stock one is terrible. This app works great and I love it, however when I get flooded with MMS it does not seem to know how to react and then refuses to send any SMS. Now I am also up to download another texting app if someone knows one that handles MMS better, I have tried Textra in the past however I kept recieving a notification that said something about my MMS APN but I never touched anything in Textra's settings to break that because it did work for a while. I am open to other options if someone has any ideas. Thanks
Handcent it's pretty reliable but has ads. I like hoverchat as well.
The stock Samsung messaging app struggles to send mms. It seems like it went resizing photos and live messages maybe? When I switch to non stock apps they all work fine, but in the stock app, especially group threads, sometimes they never send, or only some people in the group get the message. Had anyone else experienced this?
