Hey guys. I've been using my Redmi 3 Pro for quite some time now and I love this device. My only complaint is that when I used MIUI 7 or 8 (doesn't matter which ROM ) I can never send picture messages to others when I use Google's Messenger App and I allowed all the permissions for Google Messenger so it would work properly. I even rebooted to make sure but no luck. My pictures are sent only through MIUI's stock messaging app. Personally, I prefer Google Messenger over MIUI Messenger and since I was never able to figure out why this issue was being caused, I flashed over to nehz's CM12.1 ROM so I can have Google Messenger. I have provided pictures underneath my post to show you guys what it looks like and hopefully someone can help. Thanks.

Hi everyone, used to have a wildfire running CM7 so I have two questions someone maybe able to help with:
1) On the stock gmail app, I don't seem to get automatic nofitcations. It seesm like only manually refreshing inside the app will get it to look for new messgaes. I've turned off auto-sync, but I assumed that it would obey it's ruels of syncing every 30 mins, doesn't seem to look for new mail by itself.
2) When writing text (SMS) messages, my old android phone used to suggest full stops, question marks, commas, etc. after pressing space after a word. It used to automatically capatilize words after full stops, amongst other features. Now all those features are gone. Any ideas?
I'm running sensation ROM, can anyone confirm these features work properely on the stock rom, or suggest any soultions?
The built in GMail app doesn't have that feature. Use the Stock Email app for that.
And what is that Auto Suggestion feature are you talking about in SMS? I'd really like to have something like that.
Regards.

I'm pretty sure the SMS auto suggestion is a feature of android 2.3? So it should be found on pretty much any stock rom (unless it was part of CM7). Also, that's a shame about the gmail app, i guess I'll use the stock e-mail app instead.
Or the K9/Kaiten/Mail Droid/Enhanced Email, how many shall I mention? I don't like any of them anyway
I'm starting to think the word/punctuation suggestions in the messaging app were custom to CM7... I've tried three different roms, and none have had this feature.
I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II that has been rooted and uses CleanROM 5.0. Today I noticed that my Google Voice messages are not only being received by the GV App, but also by the stock messenger App. Also, the stock messenger App will reply through whichever source the SMS came in (either Google Voice or Verizon). This surprised me, as I don’t remember ever getting GV messages that way before. Google Voice messages would only go to the GV App. I have also determined that I don’t even need to be logged on to the GV App for this to work. I tried Googling this to see if it was normal. All I could find was recent news of this being achieved by a Cyanogen Mod and there also being an App that will do this. I have neither a Cyanogen mod nor that App. What am I missing here? Why is the doing this for me? In any case, I’d like to use just the Stock App for everything I’d like to know how to make all outgoing messages default to using just Google Voice. Any ideas around why this started happening and how I can control how new messages will be sent?
Answered my own question (mostly)
OK, I found out why this started happening. Somehow I had changed the setting in Google Voice, so that text messages were getting sent my cell phone. So duh.... when I received a text to my Google account, it also was going to my Verizon account, and thus my stock messaging app. I found this out when I saw all the text charges Verizon was billing me for. So now I am using that App, called Stock Messaging Application with Google Voice, It looks somewhat like the stock application- but not quite (I like the stock better). It does catch messages coming in from both Google and and Verizon. I have it set to reply to all through Google- which it does. This is mostly what I wanted to do- the problem is, it's a little buggy. Sometimes a message won't go in or out. And as I said, I still like the stock app better.
So I still have a remaining question. Does anyone know if, or when, the breakthrough of this from July (for Cyanogen Mod) is showing up for other ROMS?

Just posting to let you know I am following your thread and I'm interested in the results as well. Let's hope somebody comes along with some more information. Do you have a link to that app?

Glad to see someone else cares- I was actually kind of surprised by the lack of feedback/interest in this. I would have guessed this would be of more interest to people....oh well.
The app I was referring to can be found on the Google Play Store- it is called "Messaging + Google Voice", the developer is Troxie.net
This board won't let me post the link.
The problem with this app is that it seems a little buggy. Sometimes messages don't send or receive- but in general it does what it says. I have also found the Text for Free service by Pinger works pretty well with the stock messaging. You can set it so that all of your cell phone service based texts will also go into the Text for Free app. Then when you reply, the outgoing message will go through text for free. However, this is a separate number- not a Google Voice number.

I actually use the Sprint integration with Google Voice, so I am using only one phone number, my Sprint mobile number. I am really just trying to set it up so that if I am at my PC and I send an SMS with the web interface, that message will also be displayed on my phone. Right now, I can see that message in my google voice app, but not any third party SMS app (like Textra, which I use). I want to be able to use Textra to send all my SMS and MMS, and have it sync any messages I send using the google voice web interface as well.
As the title suggests, I just discovered tonight after almost 2 weeks of having the Z3TC, I can't reply to group messages in the stock messaging app. When I respond to a message, it goes out individually to everyone and they hate me for not staying in the conversation. Any workaround or solution?
I heard and scoured the web, and basically I just read I need to download and use a different messaging app. This is unbelievable. It's almost 2015 and this tablet didn't come stock with this?
It's not a deal breaker for me, but darn, it is really annoying and gets my Z3TC made fun of. If I have to resort to a 3rd party app, anyone have any particular preference and why?
Many thanks.
Use the new Google messenger app or hangouts instead. The new Google Messenger app will probably become the new stock SMS app and it works great.

When I receive texts on my new huwai 5 x honor I get a random chain of letters and numbers following like this
I love you too

Also
When I try to send a picture in messaging it won't send and I get a long block of gibberish filling a message to contact Google Fi. Google folks are stumped and only seem familiar with their Fi supported phones like Nexus. No help there.
I downloaded Google Messanger to use but it is doing same thing.
My husband ordered same phone and has no similar issues.
I have run spyware fixed with no luck. Google support people have no idea.
I have doñe 2 factory resets to no avail. Also, I deleted all message threads before running Kaspersky and still the problem remains.
One difference is Google Hangouts lets me send small pictures but I get same random characters on received messages on that just like on stock huwaei messaging and Google messenger.
Help! Please
