How to set default SMS app - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
Probably a simple answer but I cannot find the answer. I want to set another sms app, apart from the stock messaging app, the default sms app in my Samsung S3 running Android 4.3. There's no setting in the stock messsaging app or a wireless and network section in the phone settings as other people have suggested.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
TIA
Greg

[Q] Stock i727R SMS app question

Hi, Searched but could not find any answers to my specific question (and I think I'm in the right forum..).
A family member has a stock 2.3.5 i727R, and is wondering if there is a way to make the text input box in the stock SMS app smaller when she is typing (so she can see more messages while typing).
I'll be able to play with the phone in the next few days to see for myself, but just curious if anyone has already done this with a quick setting change in the sms app.
Of course, another solution is handcent or go sms, but hopefully there is a setting for this.
Thanks.

[Q] Alternate way to receive MMS?

Hello everyone,
I'd appreciate any help here.
I just flashed a new MIUI Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435400) but one of the known bugs is that it can't receive MMS. I love this rom too much to switch to anything else.
With that said, I've been looking for an alternative way to get MMS messages. Either with a third party app, change the APN settings or simply have them forward to email instead. Does anyone know of something that can work?
again any suggestions would help. thanks in advance!
i'm looking for the exact same thing. would love to find a way.

[Q] Send calls directly to voicemail in Jelly Bean 4.1.1?

I have just purchased the GS3, which is my 4th Android phone; and, it has the Jelly Bean v4.1.1. OTA firmware update.
In my other Android phones, I could edit individual contacts to go directly into voicemail.
I cannot find that feature in the contacts edit mode on my GS3. The closest I can find is a setting to add the contact to a 'reject list', which just blocks the call.
Does anyone know if it is still a feature in JB; and, if so...where it can be accessed?
Thanks, in advance.

When you are in the stock Phone app, press the Menu Key and tap on Call Settings. Tap on Call Rejection and then tap on the Auto reject list. From the list, click on the + sign to add a new number from call logs, contacts or typing the number in directly.
It took me a while to find this also. Hope it helps!
Solution?
Hi there,
Just wondering if you ever found a solution for this? If I've understood rightly the above answer only allows you to reject individuals whereas you wanted to send certain contacts straight to voice mail... Which is what I'm trying to do on a Galaxy S4.
Did you manage it or find an app that does something similar?
Thanks for your help,
Dan

[Q] Default SMS app? How to?

Greetings,
I have this app called "Messaging 7" (from app store) which if you are aware, is really an awesome windows messaging app. I like its simplicity and have used it before kitkat update.
The problem is, im currently running kitkat in my HTC device and it's annoying that I cannot set it as default sms app. Therefore, everytime I receive a new text message, it will not mark as read until I open it on the device's default sms app. Kinda annoying, I can disable the notification from other sms app, but again, I need to figure out how to set the Messaging 7 app as default.
It is observed that the developer of the said sms app no longer works in it. So I'm thinking that there maybe a work around or solution with this since the app was created before kitkat update. Some other updated SMS apps i have tried to install appears on the selection for default app (from settings) and so I guess there's just need somthing to modify in it?
Any help will be very much appreciated. I really want this messaging app. :good::highfive:
