My son wants to be able to text me with his Nabi over our wifi. However, every texting app that I download off the play store doesn't work and keeps asking me to set it as the default sms app. I have no option in the settings for changing the default sms app. How can I text with this Nabi? I've done it before but it was on jelly bean. It's now on the latest Kit kat Ota update.

Hey guys,
So I flashed ClearnROM ACE 4.5 and it doesn't have support for group messaging in the stock app, so I tried go sms to use just for my group messaging. For normal texts I still use the stock TW app. My issue is that whenever my phone gets a text message, I get no notification that I got a text. Nothing. No sound, no light, nothing in the bar. I checked to make sure notifications were enabled in the stock app, and they are, and they are disabled in Go SMS. When I enable the notifs in Go SMS, they work, I get the Go SMS notifications, which I don't want. I want the stock ones.
When I uninstall Go SMS, the notifications work just fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Go SMS, clearing the app data for both Go SMS and the stock app. Do you guys have any idea? Should I ask the devs of Go SMS about this or maybe Scott from CleanROM?
There is a setting in Go SMS :
settings/receive settings/disable other messaging notifications
make sure you are using advanced settings.
I'm pretty sure group messaging works just add the names in the recipents
Hi, I know that KitKat only allows to have one message app that will send sms. But is there any way to overide this? On JB I used 3 apps, I like to send messages with stock LG app, read messages and replaying htem with HoverChat when I'm in app, and I have "mysms" app, to send and recive messages from my PC, now I must just choose one of this options which is very uncomfortable. Is there any way to "fix" this?
Hey Everyone!
I recently just updated to Marshmallow and since then my Messenger App (version 1.7.050) is not displaying any setting for Group messaging. I can make a group message by adding people to a group conversation but it sends individual text messages to each person.
I can switch my default app to Textra, Hangouts, or Sony's default messaging and they all allow me to use group messaging correctly. They also all display the option in the settings menu to enable/disable group messaging. (Currently all of my texting apps are "enable" group messaging in hopes it will force Messenger App to work, but it does not).
I have uninstalled, re-installed Messenger multiple times, and have performed multiple restarts of the device itself. (still not luck)
Within the settings of Messenger it does display my number correctly, just no MMS/Group messaging Options
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for any help!!!

I have the same issue. Also on MM and using T-Mobile. I started using hangouts and that works better for me, but MMS doesn't always send correctly using hangouts. Its been a pain in the butt trying to get SMS/MMS working consistently since the MM upgrade. I also tried Textra, and about 50% of the time my MMS would fail on that also. Sticking with Hangouts for now, but once an update gets released for Messenger I will try it again.
Hello,
I have installed several apps on my Huawei Honor 5X phone like Timely and DashClock that are supposed to support daydream mode and I wanted a clock to show up while my phone is charging. However, when I navigate to daydream I find no option to select these apps. All I find is 'Picture Rotation'. Another unrelated problem I have is that several apps when they launch the text messaging app launch 'Hangouts' as my app but then 'Hangouts' closes after giving a message ' In order to send a message via Hangouts select Hangouts as the SMS app'(not exact message but close). I don't want to message via Hangouts. How do I change this? Also how do I make Timely my default clock instead of the stock clock that comes with Android?
Bump....
So I purchased this phone in november of 2020, the RMX2071 CN and had issues with a lot of the CN Rom quirks. One of the biggest ones was not easily being able to change the default SMS app. The issue I was having was the default SMS app would not handle group texts well (all replies coming back from individuals) This was an incredibly annoying oversight and issue. I was unable to change the default SMS Message from within the Settings > App Management > Default App > Messages > It would only allow the system default. I was able to temporarily change it by downloading the google messages app from the play store, opening it and having it set as default.
Now the odd thing was, using the google messages app would work for a little while (minutes?) and then revert back to the default system app!
A few issues i had while using any third party messages app for SMS was that any time i sent an SMS it would prompt to verify identity on the phone.
I tried a lot of different things, but gave up after a while.
Fast forward to this week. I decided to test disabling a few of the bloatware apps using "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>" and after disabling a ton of the heytap, coloros apps that didnt seem relevant, i tried to disable the default system SMS app, which on my phone was (package:com.android.mms) and tried to set the default sms to google messages using the method above, and after testing for 2 days, it did NOT revert back!
Now the downside is that for some odd reason, when i get a text, the notification doesnt make the sound most of the time, and it still prompts for that ID verification when sending texts, but now I can actually get group texts and send properly!
