textra app for HUB

[freedomx20a]

For everything google does right the stock android app for text sucks! Get Textra and it works with HUB perfectly and is much superior light app. Google needs to copy this!

Fully enjoy the HUB experience Right now!

You are incorrect. Textra does not work properly with Hub.

Unread texts are NOT marked yellow/unread. They jump to the top of the Hub but remain gray.

In addition, when you click on a text in Hub, Textra opens as a pop up only above the Hub. Some may like this, some may not. However, the key issue is that the setting that controls this in Textra does NOT work when using Hub. Therefore your only choice is the popup.

The second issue is no big deal to me, but the first is not workable for me.

All that said, Messenger DOES suck horribly, and Textra is absolutely wonderful. But it doesn't work perfectly with Hub.

BlackBerry doesn't have their own SMS/MMS solution so the Hub doesn't even work well with the Hub. Lol.

I'm not sure what your last message meant, but what I said stands true.

I nvr noticed it stays grey in hub because on my home screen Textra has a red icon on it when I get a notification. But your right

I wonder if enough people email Textra devs they could tap into Hub?

Never know. I wrote a reviews for Firefox and emailed them telling them scrolling doesn't work right with physical keyboard. 2 updates or so later and it works now

I noticed a tiny bug with how Textra handles the physical keyboard/virtual keyboard duo, perhaps.

If your physical keyboard is out, and you try to press the "+" sign to add a smiley or an image on the screen, the space that usually pops up comes up but you can't see or select anything. So, essentially, you can only add an attachment if your physical keyboard is closed.

Textra devs respond quickly though,.

I emailed them about this as well. I wonder if they're working on a fix? I love Textra but this issue is frustrating when I want to bombard someone with emojis or attachments!

If they fixed these two things (new messages not yellow and the issue with the physical keyboard and attachments), they would have my heart forever!

Check out QKSMS. It displays properly in the hub.

Only feature I am bugging developer to add is ability to delay messages to a set time

Nope. Doesn't work right at all. Try composing a message directly from Hub. Brings you to a screen where you have no ability to type the recipients name.

Plus the app seems to have some serious bugs around picture messaging.

Yeah I ran into picture bug... I'm testing Yaata right now... liking it the best so far from ones I tried. Seems to work good with my hub so far... when I go into a chat and press back I remain in the hub and doesn't jump me to the actual app like most. Been using it for about 4 days now maybe.

I second Yaata. If you donate to the developer, you get the ability to autoforward sms's to another phone. This is an indispensible tool for those who are forced to carry a work-issued phone in addition to personal phone.

Cheers.

I had a issue with it showing the asteric on the app even though all messages were read... I told the dev, and they seemed very interested in Priv and said they were gonna get the files to properly test their app when they have time

They even asked what phone I had before Priv out of curiosity, thought that was neat to see for once for BlackBerry

Yaata has best Hub integration of any SMS app hands down, even Google Messenger.

I have Yaata working with the Hub on my G4 with the exception that I can't delete SMS conversations right from the Hub, I have to open the app. Is this happening on the Priv as well?
