I wouldn't mind using the messenger app if it wasn't themed like Facebook. I don't use Facebook messenger, so I just enabled sms/MMS and it's just like using a regular messaging app. Just ugly

Search chat heads on google play. You will have an application ready for you. But the only problem is that, right now, the developer hasn't yet made it to move freely on the screen

Well, I've figured out something I didn't know, which bothered me, I thought it stored my SMS to facebooks servers, though it seems it doesn't. When a conversation is deleted from the stock SMS app, if you check the Facebook messenger, its no longer there. And if I checked on my tablet its not there, so it seems just like its an overlay of sorts just pulling the information from the stock app, which I'm okay with. Just didn't want it to be stored to Facebook's stuff

Facebook Messenger only has sms integration for certain devices. Maybe yours isn't supported?

Ok, so tried chat heads app, Facebook chat heads, ninja sms, notify me, notifypro plus, wp8 notification banner app, light flow ....
All of these apps have since sort of a popup or banner, but the best seems to be light flow which can be customized for each app, each contact separately. If you really want the text icon on home, and simple pop ups don't do it for you, then fb implementation is by far the best one, albeit no contact wise notifications or customization.

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....

Nothing like Google Voice. Sucks that you don't get a threaded view like other SMS apps. It sorts the messages by days. But wouldn't trade it for any other app. Nay sayers should give it a shot.

I've been using Go Sms Pro since it first ce to Android. It was hands-down the best sms replacement in my opinion. The last two updates however have changed my opinion about it. They started pushing Ads like those annoying scam apps. The last one in particular made me uninstall it. It now places Ads on the bottom of the screen. I'm done with them.
Is there any app besides Handcent, Chomp, Texter that is a good pop up sms replacement. There are many apps on the market aand I've personally come across some awesome apps that wasn't on the top of the list of best apps. So is anyone has some suggestions on apps they use or come across, I'd appreciate it.

First, let me say love this phone.
I received an MMS, which i could tell was a group text sent to multiple people. I could read the text and see who sent it, but I was unable to see any other recipients who it was sent to. On my Nexus 4's stock messaging app, it would show the other numbers that the message was sent to. Is there anyway to enable this? Not sure if it matters, but I know it was sent from an iPhone, and was sent to myself and another iphone.
Edit- Also confirmed that my response was only sent to the original sender.
Thanks!
I don't own the G2 yet, but a great text app alternative on the Play Store is called 'Textra', and it looks just like stock Android, very system light, and super fast. It allows group messaging, and works perfectly, I always text my two brothers, one is on an iPhone, the other a Nexus, and we can keep a conversation going in one thread.

I find 'Textra' the best MMS App on the Play Store. It's very light, basic and simple. Super fast, smooth as butter, and looks and acts like stock Android messaging App.

Just installed Textra and tested it. Sent a group text same from iphone to my g2 and another iphone. I received the group text in normal fashion w/ both people, however my reply was sent as a new message to the original sender and not in the original group text thread. Any idea how to fix that?
Edit - NVM, I found the MMS settings in the app, had to enable MMS for group texts and it seems to work now.

No I understood you were taking about MMS with the Note 3.
However, i personally installed to see if the MMS option existed on the note 10.1 and if it did, would it work over WiFi. It isn't even an option.

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my sms through it. But I didn't see any text messages in gmail. I don't have an android tablet (yet) to test the hangouts app there.
For now I have disabled SMS in hangouts again, as it was extremely laggy (especially in a conversation with over 10000 messages. the stock sms app handles that better). I felt mysms was less reliable too.

I was hoping for the same thing. I was hoping that sms and mms would sync with hangouts so that I didn't have to create backups and such.
