Alright since I got this phone I've had an issue with my phone not being able to find my girlfriend and my cousins number when I go to text them. It'll show her email but no number so I have to hit find in contacts etc etc.. Also for whatever reason sometimes the text thread with my girlfriend will disappear but if I go to start a new text with her all of the old messages will be there... Wtf??

Check your contacts and make sure her number is saved as mobile.

Solved. They were set as iPhone instead of mobile.. Its weird it would do that though

I have Gmail set to only notify for messages that get marked as important. Today I noticed it is no longer doing this. Was there a change made over the weekend?

Hey, so my wife received the update to 4.2. She's complaining about the messaging app not showing unread threads and taking forever to send since it won't let her send another until that one is sent. Is there any fix? Or is it possible to use the sense 4 messaging app? Not rooted.

There is a slight lag with sending texts, hopefully they fix that...don't see another way...I'm stock as well.
Try clearing cache and data of the messaging app or get a 3rd party messaging app.

Jaggar has it right... Try GOsms works great on 4.22

I would use GoSMS if it would send pictures properly. It sends links to pictures. Always hated that.

Make sure with gosms that you're sending it as an mms and not a goshare message. If it's an mms the pictures send fine. If it's goshare it sends a link unless the recipient has gosms as well.
I personally use Google Hangouts since my phone is stock. It works pretty good for me.
I second Google Hangouts. It's a great SMS app since the update a while back. Much nicer than stock in my opinion.
In the last week my email icon on the home screen started to show negative numbers after I delete mail? It will show how many are there and then a -1 after I delete them. I have two accounts. Gmail and aol. I am using 4.3. Anyone know why this started?

Hi,
I'm trying to switch my SMS app on my GS4 from what came with my phone to hangouts. Currently when I send an emoji through the built in sms app it is sent as MMS instead of sms (it switchs as soon as i type an emoji) which is fine with me. But then I go to start using hangouts for SMS and I type an emoji and the recipient gets nothing. Please help. I would like to switch.

I'm not sure why it does it but for some reason in certain versions of sms apps with Samsung phones it defaults to mms instead. I know there is an xposed app which changes default long messages back to sms vs mms. I use hangouts as well but it doesn't give me that issue. Then again I'm on an S3
Edit: have you changed the default messaging app to hangouts inside settings within hangouts?

Yes I have tried changing the default app within in hangouts. And the sending via MMS doesn't bother me. If it could fix it I'll send them through MMS inside hangouts if there were a way.

I don't know why it's doing that. I'm a little confused myself

Would changing the access point names help?

Try using the S5 SecMms_blue.apk.. It allows you to send emoji's through sms.. Just find your carriers or if your international based use theirs..
Just find it somewhere and install as a regular app. I'm not rooted nor plan on rooting.

In that case installing another system sms app will not work then

Umm.. yea then you will not be able to accomplish what you want.. I know thats some Messaging apps use wifi to send pics, but the other person needs to have the same app..
Yeah def check out the xposed module. I think this is ridiculous. I know in the newest version of hangouts in the bottom left hand corner you can click and change back and forth between the two but if you add emoji it might not give you that option. It does me, but I'm running a rooted Moto Droid Mini.

I still get the option to change between hangouts and SMS in the bottom left corner like you.
