I just got this phone a few days and ago and it's working great except for one issue. I use apps like MightyText/Pushbullet/MySMS to send texts from my PC. These apps all worked fine on my last phone but not on the Honor 6X. I verified that the messages go out and the other person receives the text I send (and all of the apps say that the message has been sent), but the outgoing message does not show up in the conversation thread in my messages app. I've looked in both the stock app as well as my preferred app (Textra) but they aren't there.
At first I thought it was an issue with MySMS (my primary remote SMS app) but I installed and tried MightyText and Pushbullet as well, and all of them send the message successfully but none have the outgoing SMS show up, so I'm thinking this is an issue with phone. Not sure if it has anything to do with it being a dual Sim.
Does anyone know what's going on?
FWIW, I've kinda solved my own problem. Looks like messages will only show up as sent messages if they are sent through the default SMS application. I set MySMS to be the default SMS app and now outgoing messages are showing up. This isn't ideal because I prefer Textra, but I found an SMS app called Pulse that does the same thing and I like the SMS app more than MySMS. It's cheaper than the other options too. It's not a perfect solution but it will work for now.
Still not sure why this is an issue with the Honor 6X and not my last phone (Moto G4 Plus)

Hey all,
is there a SMS app that reads the latest recieved text upon opening?
I'll give an example of what I have now: I recieve a SMS via GoSMS from John. I was previously texting Marie the last time I opened GoSMS. When I open the messenger I'd like it to go to the newest text (John's) yet it defaults to my previous texts with Marie.
I've looked in GoSMS settings but this doesnt seem to be a feature. Are there any texting apps for android with the behaviour that I want?
If any of you have not tried Mightytext, you should give it a look. It allows you to send text messages via your computer through your phone.
I use Contacts+ for texting and dialing on my phone. For some reason ever since I got my One, I've been receiving duplicate messages for most texts coming in. I never had this problem on my Galaxy S4. I tried deleting Contacts and that solved the duplication problem but I wasn't happy with that solution, I'd rather have Contacts+ that the stock messaging app.
I went into Titanium Backup and tried freezing the messaging app but that didn't work. I also saw something called "Message Provider 1.0.660928" I froze that and the duplication problem stopped. Does anyone know what that app is and do I need it?
Thank you

Hi, just bought a new ATT S7, running 6.01.
For years, i have run SMS Backup + to sync texts to my gmail account. Love it.
On my new S7, this app does not recognize/sync SMS texts sent from the phone. If i use Google now to dictate "send message to xxx saying yyy" ...that text composed that way gets sync'd. But one that is typed or dictated in the messaging app does NOT.
Sent SMS texts are NOT sync'd either using Exchange activesync. Recvd texts sync fine.
I also use MightyText and sent texts from the phone do not show up in the app. If i send a text from the MightyText web app, it usually will sync via SMS Backup +.
I have reached out to both vendors for assistance.
i have changed my keyboard from Samsung kybd to Google keyboard. no luck.
Anyone seeing anything like this?
I turned off "Advanced Messaging" and it seems to take longer to Send the SMS from the phone, and the message will intermittently sync with the various apps (Sms backup +, MightyText.) But not always.
make sure your apn info is correct for SMS / MMS

Keeping ADV messaging disabled seems to do the trick.
Just bought a Honor 8 for about a week and still finding my way around it. I had a LG G flex 2 and the honor is so much better. Anyway I use Hangouts to send SMS and MMS. Just notice I can receive MMS but not sending them out. I can use the default Message App and it sent out MMS just fine so it is not the Access point problem. Anybody ran in this problem and how do you fix it? TIA.
PS. Still waiting for OTA update to 7. L04 in US with T-mobile.
maybe you should re-install the configuration settings .. contact the service provider
I am on T-mobile and I have the same problem. I can receive MMS within Hangouts, but cannot send one. I am on Nougat, though, and I noticed this problem only after the upgrade (probably because I never sent an MMS before the upgrade).
If I install Google Messenger and use it as my SMS app, it does not display SMS conversations correctly. All SMS conversations are labeled as "unknown sender".
I also use MightyText to send text from a computer, and any SMS sent from a computer does not show up on the phone.
It seems that Honor 8 has a bug related to SMS/MMS...
I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.

Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?

Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
