[Q] 3rd party sms apps wont work - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I want a different SMS app different than TW or Hangouts (which happen to be the only two SMS apps that work on my device). I can read all my texts right away when I open the new 3rd party app, then when I click on anything and go back to the inbox all the texts disappear. Ive never sent a text sucessfully in any third party app, my contacts never show up either. Im rooted and I deleted the stock TW app and was very happy with Hangouts for awhile, but then I ran into some bootloop trouble and had to reset my phone via safestrap. Then the stock app magically reappeared and from then on no 3rd party SMS client will work.
Thanks

[Q] Please Help! Questions about Atrix deleting text messages

I have had the atrix for about two weeks now and love the phone, I havent had any problems with using handcent or any other third part messaging apps until a few days ago. All of a sudden messages that I previously deleted are coming back into my threads and in my currents conversations the phone is deleting tons of messasges. I removed handcent and even the stock messager is doing the same thing. I hace the text limit per conversation set at 1000 and I looked into every second I could think of and just have run out of ideas. Please help because this is extremely frustrating!
if you have multiple text messaging apps installed on your phone try uninstalling all of them and see if the issue disappears. i am thinking that it might be a conflict between different 3rd party apps.
as a worst case scenario i would try a factory reset (which would delete all info and apps) and start again. there is a sms backup app in the market so you can backup everything first and restore after the reset
thank you I am going to try and delete all third party apps for a day or so then re install and if that doesnt work do the factory reset and just install one texting app.

Not receiving messages if stock messaging is uninstalled?

So if I uninstall the stock messaging app with TB I can no longer recieve messages with GO SMS. I haven't tried others. But I can still send out.
I'm using Senseless ROM 2.95 with 360 Launcher.
yea if u remove or freeze the stock app no 3rd party app will work
Well what I figured out is that if you uninstall Messages and then restore with app only the app won't come back but you'll be able to use 3rd party messaging apps.

Android keeps reseting default message app to the stock app

Hi.
I've recently downloaded Textra to use it as my default messaging app, I love it, but once every few minutes Android resets defaults to the stock app. If I disable the stock app, then it'll reset it to Hangouts instead. I'd rather not have to disable Hangouts as well since I use it frequently for work. This happened with a couple of other 3rd party apps I had too. Any ideas on why is this happening?
My device is a Huawei Ascend P6, running B508 stock ROM with Android 4.4.2 (rooted).
Thanks.
EDIT: I've tried disabling the stock app and uninstalling Hangouts. Textra is the ONLY app installed that handles SMS's and Android still asks me to make it the default app!!!!!
Anyone?

[Q] Text and Email Alternative Apps

I have tried using K-9 Email app and TextSecure and hello sms. All of the three seems to stop running after a while in the background. So if I install the any of the 3 and then set it up and it works fine. But then I switch to another app or do something else or not use the phone for a while they stop working. I have tested this and it seems like android os is terminating the process after a while (none of the apps remain in the running apps list on system settings). So is it possible to get these apps to work? By work I mean get notifications if I receive a text or a new email. Also the builtin gmail app and Hangouts and Stock Messaging apps work perfectly fine, no issues.
can you check this post, it worked for me

SMS (Google app) notifications not working

Love my Amazfit.
One thing that's been bugging me though. All notifications work for all apps except SMS (using the Android default SMS app, not some 3rd party one). Anyone else have this issue? I've reviewed the SMS app settings a dozen times and they're all correct.

I'm having the same problem. I've gone back and forth with customer service and haven't gotten anywhere. Did you ever find a solution?
using a different sms app for now
