It's been a while since its release and I am certain that you (all of you) are as fed up as I am about the non existence of a true SMS app for this tablet. Yes, Google+ and Hangout and some obscure other providers give you limited SMS ability and What'sApp doesn't work but Tango ... etc.
Anyone have a TRUE SMS app for this tablet, one that doesn't require your buds to sign up for a Social App or the likes. Remember *Handscent*? I use it on my Note 3 and it works PHantastique !!!
There must be something out there that works.
I used text+gold for awhile. It was pretty good

Text+ is another example for a restricted platform. Looking for a true cross platform SMS app though.

I use talkatone. I make unlimited phone calls and text with my Google voice number and I've had no problems on my iPad mini LTE and galaxy note 8.0

It's NOT cross platform. If someone doesn't have TalkaTone, they won't get your SMS. Also, have you tried to text an international number? Don't waste your time. Doesn't work. There's got to be something better.

What are you talking about? None of the people I text even know or use talkatone and I send or receive texts to them just fine. when my mom had to go to the Philippines I set up her phone so she can make free phone calls and texts over WiFi with a local number from California, no problems there. But hey I must me imagining things if I've been doing this for the past 1 1\2 years.
So instead of complaining of my ignorance, illuminate me and trek me how it's done...Please.

I like the AT&T Messages app. Syncs with my GS4 and sends SMS over wifi on my Note 8.
Interesting. The AT&T message app wasn't preloaded - believe it or not. Furthermore it states "not compatible" when I tried to download it.
Weird. What's wrong with the device...?

Samsung ChatON

Auto SMS
Textra SMS
I've used Google Voice, Voice+ (From Cyanogenmod) and Textra. This only works on Cyanogenmod. For wifi only variants the telephony app requires modding.

So I am new to this whole hangouts thing but I am on Nexus 5 so hoping I can get some help here. I am just really used to the AOSP SMS app.
I have been in a group text with 3 friends for about 2 months ago.
Now on Nexus 5 whenever I get a group chat from one of them, it just shows in their individual thread instead of a group thread like it did in the old SMS app.
In Hangouts go into Settings > SMS and make sure "Group Messaging" is checked.
What phones are your friends using?

Text messages are stored here: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Move SQL database and it's journal to the same directory on the new device.
Use SMS backup in google play
It started when I flew into China for a holiday.
I have an iPhone ios 5
I have updated it for the latest Viber app (available to my ios)
My phone sends notifications that I have 100 viber messages, and I can see who the messages are from, it's just that I cannot read them within the viber app
Please help! I'm here for a month, and cannot do without viber.

Hi,
XDA does not have iphone sections, so I'm afraid you will need to find an iPhone forum on the web.
Good Luck!
Hey, so I'm an owner of an Samsung galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and an N6.
With my galaxy nexus I'm able to send texts, in bulk to hundreds of different people at once from one app. Then send texts through the stock app without my bulk text showing up there.
When i try on the n5/6 the texts i sent keep showing up in the stock app, making the hundreds if of business associates appear in front of my regular texts.
Also there's a restriction of how many texts I can send through the app now, which is annoying and ruins my work. Yet owning both n6 and n5, I seem to just use the GN despite it being sluggish, it does what i need it to.
I've seen the Liquid fluid rom for the N6 can solve my 2nd question, but the DL link is dead and google just sends me to deadends.
tl;dr
How do I stop the stock sms app from showing texts from my group sms app?
How do I remove the restriction of sms sent?
The solution can be for either the N5 or N6, I'd just like to be able to use either of them for what I need.
