Looking for a good txt app

[sx4dude2013]

So I have my note 5 and I love it. I have tried textra and I don't like it. I'm looking for something similar to iPhone txt message. Where the screen lights up from the lock screen when a txt arrives. A FLUID quick reply option would be nice too

Any ideas on a simple txt app that works well with the note?

What are you using on your note?

Which carrier are you with? Just an FYI if you're with Tmobile, I've never had luck with 3rd party messaging apps. On every phone I've had, and every messaging app I've tried, they will start to delay sending and receiving texts or just fail completely.

I know you said you didn't like Textra, but it has the ability to wake your lock screen and you can have a floating notification (similar to an unlocked iPhone), tap that notification and it brings up a reply window.

I used Textra for a while and ended up back to stock messages.

Has anyone figured out how to store a signature in stock messaging? I can't for the life of me find it.

Im on verizon wireless.
I will mess with textra settings but so far I haven't been Impressed
I had to go in and block the stock messenger notification in app settings cause I was getting double. I just want a simply, easy, quick reply on the lock screen and also while I'm using the phone.

I briefly used Google Messenger but didn't see an option to turn on the display for incoming text messages when the phone was locked?

The stock messaging app works well few me. While in the messaging app, choose settings, notifications, and then turn on preview message.

Did you not set Textra as default app? If you do that, you won't get double. I do like Google Messenger app as well but Textra bc all threads are the same color/theme. Messenger has each thread a different color.

If you are on VZW have you tried the Verizon messenger app. It's a red messenger icon. Might be the one you are talking about, but stock Android messenger is different. If should have came with your phone.

I love the UI and behavior of this app, but it seems like some VZW users had MMS issues. What carrier are you using?

EDIT: never mind. It rotates vertical pictures to horizontal when sending (similar to the old Hangouts bug). Deal breaker for me

I am on AT&T. I haven't used it for awhile. I just liked the look of it when I bought it. It was one of the better looking sms apps at the time.
