Is anyone else having problems with third party SMS programs? I've tried textra, gosms, and 8sms. I can't get MMS to work at all. I've tried manually inputting the settings and it still hangs or errors. Has anyone had similar issues, or a fix? Thanks in advance.

handcent seems very buggy. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Yes. I've tried Textra and Chomp and they both don't work.
I've actually been going back and forth via emails with textra developers for two days and they came to a conclusion that they are having issues with multiple Note 3's
They will email me when they have a solution. When I find out, I'll keep you posted

I figured as much. I don't think it's going to be on their end though. It seems like something in the messenger settings on the note is breaking it if it's all sms apps

Youre right. They probably need to update this phone for a fix. I hope there's a fix soon.
I hate the stock messenger for group MMS. Its slow, laggy, and I get that stupid No Subject for every group text. Textra is amazing and I can't wait to start using it again.

I will say, if you use 8sms, and leave the stock sms app alone it all still works. If you install textra MMS is completely broken

I had the same problem with Textra (love this app). After researching and testing different APN settings, I finally found the one that works like a charm.
Create a new APN and use the values from the screen shots I have attached. Don't forget to enable "activate data" in Textra MMS settings. Then reboot and enjoy.

Do those apn settings work over wifi? I have t-mobile wifi calling for a majority of the day and no data. The stock sms app works fine, but like others I want to use textra.

On wifi yes, not on wifi calling. That's something only enabled in stock sms app.
So I'm not totally sure what is different in my settings from others. However my MMS was not working over wifi when I used the new APN. I eventually turned wifi calling to use "cellular network when available" and all of a sudden it seems to be working. I had the setting in textra selected to use data when sending and receiving, but it didn't seem to be doing anything

Anyone having issues with Textra not being able to send MMS once or twice a day? I keep getting the red exclamation mark and have to reset my phone for it to work. Bummer, I had to go back to stock messenger because it was getting way too annoying.

I noticed this is LTE, what if you are not in an LTE area? Will your phone switch to a different APN from this customized APN? And if it switched would MMS again be broken?
Just switched to the LG G3. The messaging app lags to the point of being frozen most of the time. I have many messages in the app (500+), maybe that's part of the reason. Yet it's lagging like crazy... To the point of my thinking of ditching the phone altogether.
Can anyone please help how to fix this?

Use another messaging app? Textra, EvolveSMS, you name it
Same here. Ridiculously laggy.
maybe save attachments to internal instead of external.
and delete OLD messages.
What's the best third party messaging app?

No, even with one message containing a single character it lags like crazy...
For some reason when someone sends me a MMS it sends it as a group message so when I reply it sends my text to myself. Its rather annoying.
Thanks in advance
No one ?

What would using this app have anything to do with wifi calling? I've been using Smitten for a while now on my G3 and my wifi/wifi calling is fine. It's a really good sms app too. I can't stand the stock sms app and Smitten is a big improvement.

I like this, but I was experience some weird annoying bugs that led me to stop using it. Messages would appear to go to the wrong person, event though they didn't. Random crashes frequently.
I mean I need mms over data and texting when no signal only with wifi calling with stock app will work.

Same boat. I love the hoverchat app for SMS but don't use it as my primary because anything other than stock seems spotty when on WiFi.

Hmm, I never use wifi calling so I guess I wouldn't have noticed this problem.
So here's something strange. I wanted to snap off a shot and send it the friend I was talking to at the time, and when I pressed my camera shortcut, it says "unable to use camera during calls" and then the camera app just closes to the homecreen.
Is this normal? If so, is there any solution via xposed or root app (I'm on dev edition)?

you need wanam exchange/root to do that
I do have my phone rooted with wannam installed, do you know where the setting is for that?
In the meantime, my workaround was to install a third party camera (in this case Google Camera) and it works fine during calls, if that helps anyone.
