Queries & help regarding various sms apps(or am I missing something) - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I recently changed my phone & used sms backup & restore to restore the sms on my new phone.I found out that manufacturer sms app was unable to show all the sms(1000 to be precise) in a very long thread.I tried textra & yaata with same result.However next sms was able to correctly show it. After some troubleshooting I decided to install google/android messages & made it the default sms app after which it also correctly synced to show me the 1000 sms in that long thread. After again switching over to my manufacturer sms app(& then yaata) I found out that they also now successfully show this long thread but textra still doesn't.
Is this the normal behaviour of sms app where if there are such large threads/conversations with 1000+ sms(only text no mms) then one needs to first install android messages & after that only other sms app can correctly sync to show such large threads & next sms is just an exception?
Is there any issue with using handcent next sms(like some privacy/security concern) as I saw that it was suspended from playstore for some time a few years back? I am currently using it without login/tencent account & intend to keep using sms backup & restore to take backup of sms.
Is there any other sms app(free only) that can always display the total no. of sms in a thread(like yaata & next sms) in conversations list(textra also shows it but only on sliding the conversation to right which I don't want)?
Lastly,is there any sms app that can remember the sim/number on which sms was originally received(e.g.dual sim phone sms A & sms B received on sim 1 & sms C received on sim 2) & when taking backup/restoring on another phone with same 2 sims then after restore it still shows/remembers sms A & B received on sim 1 & sms C received on sim 2.

SMS goes on the SIM instead than on the phone :-(

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone (e-Ten Glofiish M800).
I always received SMS without problems until some days ago.
Now my SMS always arrive with hours of delay and, even more strangely, are stored on the SIM, no more on the phone. Even the icon on the left of the phone number in the inbox list of messages is different (it shows a SIM instead of an open envelope).
The problem, other than the delay, is that when I receive more than 10 new messages it says that it can't receive any more SMS because the SIM is full! until I delete some of these SMS or manually move them to the phone
How can I set to store the SMS in the phone as it always did?! why is it storing them on the SIM? how can I troubleshoot this problem?
PS: I have plenty of free storage on my phone and many SMS in my SMS inbox.

SMS Unread Count not updating

Recently, my SMS count has not been updating whenever I get a new SMS. It just stays at 0 all the time. Email counts and Missed Calls still work fine. It's just the SMS. Is there a possible solution for this without a hard reset? I've searched but couldn't find a solution.
Thanks.
What phone/ROM do you have?
Also, have you recently changed/updated/flashed anything, i.e. what has changed on your device which may coincide with you losing your sms count
I'm using an i8000 with kunchai's lite rom. I'm not sure when exactly it started but the last few programs I installed were basically wifi remote access and smsserver (which i uninstalled).
Also, I am now unable to send emails or smses from tmail.exe as well. For sending SMSes I have to use SMS chat. Whenever I try and send a new email, it just redirects me back to the inbox.

[Q] Transferred Texts

I switched over from an iPhone 4S and transferred over my old text messages, but now if I message any of those contacts, my incoming and outgoing messages appear in separate threads. This does not happen for new conversations, but I don't want to have to delete all my old messages for it to show up properly. Has anyone else had this issue?

I had an issue(Switching from my M8) Where my old texts got restored like they were new. It looked like New > Old > Newest in my texts.
Try using an app like sms backup and restore to backup > delete > and restore again

Sent SMS sync issue

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.

Outgoing SMS Not Showing In Thread When Sent From MightyText/Pushbullet/MySMS

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)
