SMS apps with least battery usage.. topic

I've been using Hangouts lately for SMS needs but lately, I have not been receiving a notification for every new message. I have all the default notification settings turned on and I still won't get every notification... :confused:

Essentially, I'm asking what messaging apps we all use on the HTC One that don't hog the battery. I want to change messaging apps but I feel that the popular messaging apps on the Play Store are huge battery drains with their hundreds of useless functions and features.

I'd like to use the default messaging app but I can NOT stand the 5 lines of the message editor that show up every time I go to reply to a text message. Its just a nit-picky thing, but it bothers me that it wastes all that real estate on the screen with empty space...

Can't wait to see what everybody thinks and I'll be conducting some battery tests in the days to come as well. :good:

New Fuji EVF lag is low, at least on the surface topic

I'd have to see it in action, but it should accommodate a decent pan speed, maybe.
All this can be calculated mathematically, much as you can calculate blur by analyzing camera shake, and relating it to sensor size and pixel density.

EVF: 2.36 million OLED, 0.005s lag

What I want now is a toggle that would allow a one-button infinitely adjustable enlargement along with the ability to jump back to 1:1 with one push. It would function like a zoom lens.

On a semi-related subject, the new FF mirrorless Sony's didn't get very good reviews in Dpreview, owing to continued issues with AF and a horrible JPEG engine (don't care personally), but the output from the sensors (RAW) is impressive.
