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.

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.

Hello guys.
I'm having a problem about getting double sms notifications.
You should know that, i disabled everything on "Stock SMS" settings.
I have Go SMS Pro(Tried Handcent Also).
My phone is rooted, running 2.2.2 Android Version.
One more thing, the notification icon is different that Go SMS and Stock SMS App. When i turn on stock sms app, the icon is totally different than this. That means it's not about Stock SMS or Go SMS Pro.
I checked;

I opened the first 2 links you posted. Mine was solved by simply disabling "notifications" in my stock sms settings. Have you tried freezing the stock sms app?

I have an odd problem. I'm using Handcent as the default SMS app instead of Hangouts. When I send a text, it shows double text in the app, but it doesn't actually send out double. The other side only gets 1 text which is cool. however, it is pretty annoying and takes up a lot of screenspace in the app.
When using hangouts to send text, it doesnt show double. Handcent recently updated it's app to support kitkat. Anyone else have isssues like this using third party SMS app on the N5?
No issues at all using this:

Confirmed, also having this issue with Handcent. Can't lose Handcent without losing popup message notifications, so I'll deal for now

Solution
Hi,
I had this problem also but think I figured it out! Go to Settings>> Apps>>All Apps >> Google Hangouts and Disable it. Then restart your phone. Things are working well on my Nexus 5 now when I send and only one message is shown in Handcent.
I had the same issue, and I corrected it by uninstalling the Handcent Emoji addon... If you have that installed, it tends to not play nice.
HTH!

I tried both suggestions, disabling Hangouts and uninstalling the emoji plugin (rebooting after each), and neither corrected the issue. Hopefully Handcent fixes the problem in an update soon!
I removed handcent and then reinstalled it and set it as default sms app before opening it the other day which resolved the issue for maybe 2 days then it just started showing double texts again
I had the issue, I removed it for now giving Hangouts a try.
I like the idea of 1 application to handle the functionality.

GO SMS also had this but it stopped out of no where..
I just removed Handcent again and once again reinstalled it and made it the default sms app in settings before opening up Handcent and I'm back to showing one sent text again
Having the same issue, usually a reboot solves it for a minute or five. sent email to developer
i posted a fix one post up although lets hope they can sort it with just an install

not sure if that's a permanent fix. It's not working for me or any of the other methods people been posting about. I hope handcent can fix it soon.

Yes, i have also this problem. did anyone fixed this ?
I am having the same issue and I have made a little discovery: the thing only happen (at least for me) when the mobile data are activated. Yesterday I was turning crazy with Hangout that doesn't rung, handcent that made me send double sms and go sms that shows the popup window.
So I installed Go sms and deleted the other two apps: today when I was using my phone with mobile data enabled, it sent two sms (the other person received only one). Than turned off data, enabled Wifi and the issue stopped. It's quite weird
It's all happening to my handcent after upgraded to 4.4 I am getting double text out but not actually sending double to the receiver

I also emailed the developer through the play store about a week ago... as yet, no reply
I had this issue. Could never get it fixed. So instead I use 88sms. It took a bit to get used to it cause I've had handcent since the G1 but 88 has a pop up too and it doesn't seem to lag at all like Handcent seemed to do sometimes.
Hi all,
I'm running the Mate 7 unrooted and with the latest marshmallow update. And I'm trying to change the standard message app to contacts+. After doing so, everything seems fine, but my phone keeps changing back to the stock message-app, without any notice. I have even disabled all my stock app's permissions.
I have no idea why or how this happens. Does anyone else have this problem? And did you manage to fix it?
Have you set Contacts+ as default messaging app in the app management settings?

Yep, I did that, and when I open contacts+ it often lets me know that the standard message app is now set as default, and if I want to change that. And then I do that as well.
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)

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
