Message schedule - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, just a quick one.
I was wondering if there is exposed app for adding message scheduling to the standard app.
I've installed custom roms in the past and it has been a feature. I don't want to flash a room for 1 thing lol.
Also I've looked at the stores apps and they don't add functionality to your default message app but through a different app all together.
I how in not waffling lol and hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks

iPhone reminder-like app?

I'm looking for a reminder app that I can open - set what i need to do, set what time to remind me just a simple one such as on iOS its simple right?
I'm guessing we can't make it pop up etc. but it showing up on notifications is good enough.
What kinds of apps are there? Oh and it has to be offline based, i don't want to be have to connected to the internet to remind me of something.
Thanks

Not nativly no. SMS/MMS does not work over wifi, regardless of the source phones type...( iMessage will do this yes, but iMessage is not using SMS/MMS even though they do it from the same app. it's handleted totally diffrent, and it's only iphone to iphone, there is no option to get an imessage on an android, it's apple gear only).
I froze the legacy sms app with BT.
Then loaded gosms. No pictures would pass thru. Even after making adjustments in advanced.

I've always been scared to delete stock messaging app
Any phone speed, ram, or other benefit obtained from this?
I normally just leave it alone, and disable notifications.
You can even hide the app in the app drawer if you're using Go Launcher, other launchers may have this ability as well.

[Q] What SMS app do you use?

I've settled on Handcent for now, but I've been wondering what some of you guys are using. I've tried a couple others, but Handcent just seems fluid and is constantly updated and supported. Lots of themes and tools to utilize, if that's your thing.
Also, in addition to what SMS app you're using, is there an SMS app that will allow "reply to all" natively? I get group texts from iPhone users and when I reply it only goes to the person that sent the message to me.

I've been using Handcent since I moved to Android(always had dumb phones before)roughly three years ago. I like the set up,customizations and how smooth it operates. I also like that the app has strong support, although I'm sure that they all do.
Am I the only one who likes stock apps? Such as stock sms+keyboard? Sheesh. :x

Since I started with Swiftkey for a keyboard app, I NEVER could go back to stock on any phone (or tablet) - It ruined me for anything less!
And there are some stock SMS apps I like and have used. In fact I like the one on the OG and I seriously considered sticking with it, but I switched to Handscent for purely vanity reasons. I like to put a "signature" on my texts and the stock SMS won't let me do that. I do use the stock e-mail app, however!
+1 for SMS Popup. Also the Cyanogenmod version of the stock keyboard since it has a dark theme. Haven't tried it on the LGOG yet because I haven't gotten mine, but I imagine it will work.
Well, since the stock app has a reply to all feature, I'm just running that now. Handcent had some cool stuff, but all these group texts are killing me.
I can't believe Handcent doesn't have reply to all at this point.

I've used Swiftkey and Hancent before and I've always switched back to Stock.
Well, I used them on my Inspire 4g. But I ran other ROMs so I guess the keyboards were never exactly "stock"...
Meh! I can do without. The LGOG's stock is nice, for my preference anyway.
Am I the only one using go SMS pro? Lol.

And you're 100% positive that handcent is not Chinese or otherwise related to anything Asian? I don't see anywhere on their site stating that they're local, or European. And what proof do you have that they steal your info and sells them?
I don't find go SMS a resource hog at all actually so I don't know about that either.

Many third party SMS app comes with added features that aren't available on stock apps. For me, go SMS pro has two features that I don't see in other SMS apps yet, unless they're addons, and those are inter grated lock screen for the app itself and a private chest to store all your texts that u don't want ppl to see. It has screen popup notifications too so uh don't have to constantly access your SMS app to read or reply texts but I think handcent has the same feature.

I like Handcent for some of the features to customize and privacy aspects. Different backgrounds to choose from and privacy inbox to off load or keep texts in through their storage.
The stock is okay, but unless I've missed something it's fairly limited and bland as far as options.
I use go pro sms...haha....it works pretty well too!

I also use Go SMS. It's the only one I tried that allows me to use group messaging properly.

I always used the stock SMS app, never felt comfortable with anything else. I like the simplicity. Swiftkey keyboard plus the stock app= perfect minimalistic experience.
I use the stock sms and then either Swype or Swiftkey flow.
Sent from my UNLOCKED LG-E970 using xda premium
I'd live to use the stock app if only it has security integration. Just cuz the phone is locked doesn't mean ppl can't get into your phone and then read the text messages. Its an added layer of security.
Another advantage of go SMS pro (not sure if handcent has a similar feature) is that if u never delete your text messages and have literally thousands n thousands of text messages within a single contact, go SMS truncates the chain of conversations to the latest ones n if u scroll up, u can click show more messages to view older ones. This speeds up loading time when going into a conversation. Whereas in the stock app, it can take sometimes 5 or more seconds of delay since its trying to load all the old texts.
For example, my conversation with my gf has never been deleted lately, resulting in nearly 10,000 texts between the both of us. When I open our conversation in go SMS pro, it works fine. But using the stock app can take nearly 10-15 seconds n it sometimes even crash and freeze. So yeah, it can make a difference.

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.

Nope...
If you have a Gear 2 or Gear S watch you won't be able to view or send sms from it.
Nah the only thing you're losing is stupid amounts of lag.. how this app can take a good few seconds to be usable is beyond a joke.
HelloSMS for me thanks.

What's the most customizable sms app, ive been tooling wth textra, liking chomp, tried qksms. Love being able to have different ringtones for different contacts, bubbles, etc. Ty for any input
Evolve is pretty good, lots of themes. Very clean look, fast, smooth.
I use evolvesms as well. The only thing I seem to have lost over the stock messaging app is MMS over wifi. I definitely loved that but I hate the stock messaging app more.
I stick to Hangouts. Simple and clean.
Not as many UI and ringtone features as other apps, but works well with my moto360 so can't complain.
Thanks all appreciate the advise
