Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way that when you open the messages app it goes to the new messages rather than your last screen? It seems silly that the phone knows I have new messages to view, but instead takes me to the last message I was in.
You can try using alternative SMS apps and see if they have a feature like that.
I know GO SMS (and handcent and others) have a notification pop up when someone texts you. Pressing on that pop up would bring you to that particular SMS thread.
I have a Galaxy S3 and use SwiftKey 3 and Go SMS. Quite frequently when I try to compose a text I can hit buttons on the keyboard but nothing is being entered into Go SMS. This can be remedied by hitting back twice to go back to the list of ongoing sms conversations, and then re-entering the conversation again. Anybody know how to fix this?
Hello Everyone,
I am using the stock messaging app. I did look through the settings but did not see this option.
I am happy with it BUT I would like to know if there is a setting or another app that will always return me to the main text list.
Meaning
If I sent person X a text it does not stay in that message it goes back to the main list of text messages. This would prevent accidentally texting the wrong person.
any info
Hello! I've got strange problem, something gone wrong in SMS app and I can't send messages to one of contacts. It says that recipient is invalid. That recipient is ABC for example. It looks ABC <123456789> in SMS app instead of just ABC like other mesaging threads. When i open message thread and manually select ABC from contacts, SMS is sent, but when I exit to threads view, recipient is replaced to ABC <123456789> again, so when I try to write message again, error appears again too.
I tried to remove conversation, delete contact and add it again, but no success. Even if contact is fully removed from SIM, Google and Phone, and SMS / Contacts apps data were cleared, when I try to send message using only contact number, it appears in messages still as ABC <12345678>, in other 3rd party apps like chompSMS the contact shows as unknown/number only (correct), when I call this number, it shows as number only too, so what the hell with stock sms app (with all data cleared)? I tried to format cache partition, nothing changed. When I add the same number to contacts and name it for example XYZ, and then select option to send sms directly from contacts menu, SMS app is opening with recipient field filled as... ABC <123456789>.
Only factory reset helped, but the problem may occur again, and what then?
Another symptom is that inside SMS app the contact (even if added to contacts) shows as face with question mark (like unknown / not added contact) but without that small triangle in the bottom-right corner (when I touch, nothing appears, normally the menu with contact options like "Add to contacts" should appear).
Phone is Android 4.1.2, no root, stock AOSP ROM.

1) ability to turn on audible notifications that will play even when you are in the conversation threaded view. On my phone, the stock app and Textra both will not "beep" for a new text if I am in the conversation threaded view. Thus i'm forced to back out of the convo or lock my screen just so I can get the beep to let me know if I have received a new text. I want a app that always beeps no matter what screen I am in.
2) can hide the message content when the message is received and instead just show me the contact name and number or etc. Just don't want the message itself to show on the screen until i click on it. Textra has this option, but it does not have option 1.
Thanks a bunch!
