The text messages come in fast and furious from politicians I've donated to previously, especially at the end of the month.
Is there any way to batch up text message alerts so it won't beep at me more than once an hour or so if new messages have come in the last hour?
Turn off alerts in the message app maybe and have a separate app poll messages periodically?

I use SMS reminders in Google calendar. For some reason default Hero messages application does not group these messages under one name as it does for other contacts so I have pretty lengthly list of Google reminders in my inbox.
I tried adding dummy Google contact but it did help. Maybe I should have add telephone number to it but there is no sender number in message details.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem, because each reminder message is from a unique number (the proper shortcode followed by a sequence number), so that Google's system can identify individual messages (and replies when applicable). I never did figure out a way to get them to group, but I did find a work around. I switched my notification types from SMS to Pop-up (in my GCal settings, online). If you have notifications turned on in your phone's calendar, then the calendar app on your phone will alert you (similar to the way the alarm does) rather than getting a text message. The other advantage to this, at least in my opinion, is that if I don't notice it right away, it'll snooze and pop up again in a few minutes, unlike a text message, which is a one shot thing.
In the sms app it doesn't show the time for every message but only for a group of messages.
Is it possible to show the time for every message?
It's annoying that people send me a message and I don't know when i received it.
I was just wondering the same thing...
When I get a message from facebook, it almost always looks the same. usually along the lines of "this is the fir..." but sometimes it is formatted such that it is a long paragraph on the messenger app displaying most of the message but the ending is still cut off with elipses. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem? The last thread I found on the topic was from 6 months ago when there was no messenger support for android wear and it was just the notifications being pushed to the watch. Now that there is notification support is there some way to get the whole message to the watch?
Edit: Discovered that this only happens when there are multiple unread messages in a conversation. very annoying.
I started noticing a slowdown on my LG V20 in the last week or 2. It was very random. I believe it is because I have about 57,000 text messages.
I do not need 57,000 text messages. I normally use Chomp or Textra apps. At this time, some text messages started to not come through to me. For example, my boss texted me and then called me later when I did not respond. Screenshots show she sent the text but I never received it. This happens rarely, but has happened with my sister and my wife as well.
I loaded the default AT&T text message and asked it to truncate all converstaions at 1000 messages per thread (I have 2 threads over 12000 messages). It was unable to do it. I then installed Textra again and asked it to do the same thing - it could not delete old messages or keep conversations at 1000. However, Textra shows some of the dropped text messages. The other apps (Chomp, default AT&T, and Handcent) do not show them at all.
My only solution is to delete all the text messages. I would like to keep the recent ones but no app seems to be able to keep the limits I have set on the threads.
Is there some type of SMS/MMS management app that would manually force the conversations to their limits (1000 messages per conversation?).
I believe when I updated to this phone, and I transferred my messages from my S7, maybe an error was introduced?
One conversation thread has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it. Maybe that thread is damaged?
Any advice appreciated.
Is there any way that I can get 'grouped' notifications on my GTR similar to wear os or tizen?
For example, if there are 5 messages from person A and 5 messages from person B, then the notification should show A(5 messages) and B(5 messages). Once I open the first notification, it should list down the messages from that person.
By default, each message is shown as separate notification which is very annoying (especially for notifications from WhatsApp groups)
Thanks !!!
