How do I make Go SMS Pro the default sms app, permanently? - General Questions and Answers

After every time that the app gets updated, I get prompted for what app to use for SMS actions. I set Go SMS to default each time, but the setting gets cleared each time there's an app update.
Is there a way to make an app the default app permanently, even after updates?

To make Go SMS default, try the below steps, it worked for me.
1. Go to Stock SMS app -> settings -> Notification Settings.. Here uncheck the Notifications.
2. Go to Go SMS app -> settings -> Advanced -> Notification Settings -> Check Enable notifications.
Now you should be able to receive messages thro Go SMS.
Good Luck !

History tab in contacts

Has anyone noticed that when u go into contacts there is a history tab that saves every email, mms, sms & call sent or recieved by the phone. This is very annoying when u go to erase ur call & sms log as you also have to go into contacts and erase the history log also. Is there anyway to turn this off, is there a change in froyo?
Thanks in advance

Still has never worked for me... i've set it numerous times to just show calls, they all still show back up eventually. Don't know why the settings won't stay?

handcent: see all sms received

I try for some day handcent sms,I like it a lot,but I have a problem:
Handcent don't display the old sms that I receivet. it display the last (i don't count the number) that i received.
How can I do for see all sms received?
someone can help me?
I believe if you go into settings in Handcent you should have a setting to show a button to display older messages. It is either in receive messages settings or customize, I forget which. Unfortunately, this may only work AFTER you have enabled it. Try going into the stock messaging app to see if you can find the message(s)
you are looking for. Also, there is a setting that is in both Handcent and the stock app how many messages to save. Try setting it to a higher number (500 instead of 200). Hope this helps.

[Q] SMS shows received time not sent time

Hi,
I have a question.. is it possible to change the settings so that text messages that we get show the time as the sent time instead of received time.
I did a search for this on the forums (and google) and i believe someone worked on it for the galaxy s I9000. Is there anything we can do for the Nexus S. I also saw that there is an app called SMS Timestamper fix which adds the correct times to the texts, but i just wanted to know if its possible to fix it in the phone settings itself?
Thanks,
the SMS time fix is only to show received time, not sent time
the sent time should be recorded properly as it uses the time you sent out on your phone

In my messaging app, I can't see "Use original timestamps"...I am using the default messaging app. Any ideas?

Im not sure if you are thinking the same as me. I dont have any issue with the time being an hour behind the correct time (which is what i understand the time fix is for, but correct me if i am wrong).
The situation I have at the moment is, say i am in an area without reception and people send me smss. I do not receive them, but as soon as i go into an area with reception, all the sms's arrive on my phone. However, the time associated with the sms's is that of when they arrive on my phone (ie when i have just moved back into an area with reception), and not the time they were sent (which would be much more useful).
Hope that makes sense, and sorry if you did understand my problem already.
I have searched in the default messaging app, but i cant find the settings Use original timestamps. Maybe I am missing something.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
I just checked and use original timestamp is there indeed. Check it again man.

very odd indeed... i checked again, i went to messaging app (the default one with the green bubble icon with smiley face), settings, and definitely not there for me. I see settings for delivery reports, but not a "use original timestamp".
I am running the deodexed stock rom with voodoo kernel, posted by master, perhaps this is causing the issue? (i actually believe i have never seen this setting on my phone even when i was running 100% stock with normal kernel).
Is there anyway i can reinstall the default messaging app?

messaging default app

is there a way to disable default messaging app?
in my AL00 I used Textra as my default messaging app but at random times the system itself makes the base messaging app default causing me to manually have to go into settings an select textra as my default sms app every time this happens.
Anyone experiencing same behavior?
I don't think you can at least without root. I just got my Mate 9 a couple days ago and I've been using Google's Android Messenger for that time period and it hasn't changed back to the stock app.

Under Settings > Apps > Settings
Look at the default app settings and change the Messaging setting.

But OP, to somewhat answer your question, no. I installed Textra when I first got my phone back in January, and it's never reset the default back to the stock app.

Question Problem with 3rd Party SMS Apps

Hello good folks, I noticed that 3rd party apps like Chomp SMS are not able to see either of the SIM cards to send out messages. Is there anything I need to do as i don't like the default Mi SMS app. Thanks for your anticipated suggestions/help.
I'm using google Messages. No problem (even chat features working)
(Its so good that I delete it my stock one)

Did you unlock bootloader to do it
To do what ? Delete app ? No I debloat it via adb
Try changing the permissions for the app, often it's set to Return blank messages or deny, set to always allow. That worked for me with the Google Messages app.

Is the app set as the default app for messaging?
Try toggling the "Get device info" permission under the messaging app.
I had forgotten how annoying the CN version is. I use the Google Clock app for the alarm. It went off this morning but with no permission to appear on my lock screen, so couldn't turn it off. Chances are it'll reset in a few days and happen again.

I did and it still wouldn't send any texts nor see my existing texts in the oem sms app.
My partner is using xiaomi 12s ultra and yeah, we had issue with Google messages, but after reviewing the permissions, setting the app as default and activating "chat features"... Now it works as a charm.
Next: Gmail doesn't send push notifications... So reviewing the permissions for the app again, setting as default... Bla Bla Bla...
Apparently we have to do this for most of the apps one by one.
It's not a deal breaker thou.
I love this phone
