I got a new Galaxy S6 Edge a couple of days ago. Been installing various apps and decided to try one called Textra. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with this phone. I cant send regular text or MMS messages with it. Only messaging app that comes bundled with the phone will allow me to send mesages of any kind. Has anyone else experienced this and if so were you able to fix it?

I'm currently using the Omega 26.1 build and love it.
The only thing is I hate the Samsung text/MMS app and wanted to replace it with the standard Google app now that Indie has released the JBKitchen app.
When I remove then replace the Samsung app texts from contacts aren't threading. My replies show in the individual messages but the replies from the contact come through as a new thread. If I switch back to the Samsung app they are all threaded as you would expect. This issue didn't happen when I was using the ICS rom as I could replace the app fine.
I've tried searching for this problem and although similar issues come up a fix doesn't seem to be evident.
Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix it?
I love this phone, been on android since the olden days of android 1.0, but I;m having a severely annoying problem with my group messaging app. I can receive and view pictures and texts from my friends perfectly fnie in the group thread, one of which has a Sprint GS4, but when i go to respond, it sends them out as if I had the "individual messages" tab selected in the thread. I've made sure 100 times that I have the settings correct, that I have the "group message" tab selected when I send the text. Everything looks like it should be in working order.
Phone is basic, unrooted, regular messaging app in use at all times, it still doesn't seem to work.
has anyone else ran into this problem (or more specifically its solution)??? My friends and I use group messaging all the time for plans and sports, meetup spots etc... And i would really like to be able to contribute without sending out 5 or 6 separate texts.

i have the same problem
anyone solution ??
Bump, still hunting for an answer other than use use a different messaging app. I'm not a fan of GO SMS and I am having to use the Verizon Messages app for the time being, which is poorly built but works with group messages
Bump because I'm STILL hunting for a solution to this. The app Textra was working for a few days but it suddenly stopped.

I just got my S4 and found out my messaging was doing this as well! I've tried Textra and that did not help for me. Is there any fix for this? Are there any ROM's that fix this issue?
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.
Ok so I have a weird problem to report. After installing the latest Oreo update over-the-air from T-Mobile this morning, I installed the Galaxy S9 messages app from apkmirror.com, the one with the blue icon.
The messages that functions normally like you would expect it to but any time I get a text message from my wife who has a Galaxy S9, I get the text message twice. This issue can only be reproduced by receiving a text message from My Wife and nobody else.
I have been searching for a solution to this problem and I have already wiped the apps data and cache multiple times but nothing has fixed the problem.
Has anybody who has installed the S9 messages app from apkmirror.com run into the same problem and if so, how have you fixed it?
Update: it seems I'm getting duplicates from all my friends who have T-Mobile android devices, regardless of manufacturer or software version.
This happens randomly to me as well, it doesn't happen all the time but I think it is from those on tmobile as well that send me messages. I'd wait and see if it just clears up on its own. Or switch to another messaging app.

I have since uninstalled the updated version of Samsung messages and the bug is no longer present.
I was hoping for a solution or work around that didn't involve uninstalling the update but perhaps it's a bugged version of the app. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a newer version, hopefully one from a note build and not an s9 build.

If you don't mind sharing - how did you uninstall the updated Messages app? I have the same sporadic duplicate thing going on, so want to go back to stock app. Thank you

Go to settings > apps > messages and click the 3 dot menu button and click uninstall updates.
Update! I have officially figured out what is causing the duplicate text messages after updating to the latest messages app.
In the newest releases, like the ones that came on the S9 and S9+, samsung integrated the message service app into the messages app. This, for some, is causing duplicate text messages when receiving messages from people who are on the same service provider who's devices also have advanced messaging with chat features.
To fix the problem of duplicate texts, you will need to purchase and install package disabler pro ($2.50 - don't be cheap...) from the play store and disable message service app and reboot.

That's all there is to it enjoy no longer getting duplicate text messages just as I am.
Happy Tuesday!
Hey guys...so since I've owned my V30 I've always been a user of Google's Messages app. It works flawelessly other than the fact that MMS's and Group Messages don't always come through. They'll show who sent them and state something along the lines of "unable to download, please click to retry" after doing so, sometimes the message is recovered sometimes it is not able to. More often not able to. Recently, it would seem I've become more annoyed with this issue. After many calls back and forth the with T-Mobile they've recommended I ditch Google's Messages app and use the included LG Messaging app.
Well, I can tell you...I no longer have issues not receiving MMS's or Group Messages....The issue I have now is, the LG app is SUPER SLOW. It can take 10-30 seconds just to open a chat....and if I have a group chat open with an active chat...the entire phone and app will freeze until the last message has stopped being received.
Does anybody have any suggestions to getting Google Messages working, or speeding up the LG Messaging app? I am not rooted so I'm stuck using this crappy app even disabled and not the default messaging app. I also removed LG Package disabler to see if turning something off was the issue but it is not.
