Unable to text when using Lyft and other apps - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hello,
When I use apps like Lyft on my Honor 5x and I try to text the driver etc. it tries to launch 'Hangouts' and then dies with a message 'In order to use Hangouts for SMS set Hangouts as the defaults SMS app'. However, I don't want to set Hangouts as my default SMS app but I find no way to clear the defaults on the default messaging app on my android phone. How do I change the default messaging app for apps like Lyft? I tried clearing the defaults and even uninstalled and reinstalled the apps but to no avail.

[Q] cannot change to GoSMS or Handcent using 2.3.5 fw

Hi, just flashed to 2.3.5, XXKI3... works fine except that I cannot make handcent as my default messaging app even if I set it as the default. Also tried clearing the data in the Manage Apps menu for the default messaging. The 'clear data and launch by default' in handcent settings are grayed out. Tried also GO sms, same problem.

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

Unable to send SMS using default messaging app

As the title says, I'm unable to send any text messages using the default messaging app on moto E. I have my phone rooted. Messaging is a system application. I'm able to recieve messages though. If I change the default messaging app to some other app like hangouts, everything works. I have tried making a backup of the messaging app, uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. Also cleared data. When I send a message, it's stuck at "sending...". Check screenshot.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would you try switching the default app to hangouts or another messaging app then switch the default back to the stock messaging app and see if that helps.

Messaging FC after Nougate upgrade

When you press the + button to create a message messaging FC
Deleted all messages from within the app but it still crashes when the + button is pressed.
While I was typing all this up I found a workaround, 1st I restored all my messages using a 3rd party app, then I changed the default messenger app to hangouts, hangouts suggested I try the new google messenger app, I installed that. Looks pretty similar to the default messenger app, and it works, so I'm using that instead.
No such thing. Please backup your data, reset phone to factory settings and try again.
