I just noticed this today that when I try to send a picture that's to big it tries to resize the image but it seems to just hang and never send it.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
At the moment i'm just resizing the image then sending it and it works.
thanks.
I sent a couple mms picture that had to be resized, I never had that problem. I would try turning off the phone and turning it back on.

It works fine in a 3G area. It will fail with the stock messenger app in an Edge area.

Oh ok that makes sense. I'm in an edge area right now so it wont send.
Anyone know why it does that?
You will only be able to send pictures < 100KB in EDGE mode. Not sure if it is a firmware restriction or network restriction. But it is a known bug.
My old samsung impression let me send up to 500kb files on edge.
Its probably a firmware restriction.

I've noticed this too, and I only have EDGE in my area. The only solution I've found is sending the MMS through the stock messaging app (I use Handcent otherwise), and it seems to send fine for me.

So i've had a few people send me pictures over text, but they won't show up and I have no way of viewing them. It shows a "Download" button next to the text, but when I click it, it says "Downloading" and doesn't ever show me the image. It just says "Download of Attachment from xxxx was unsuccessful".
I found some related posts on others having problems getting attached images while connected to WIFI on their Epic 4G's, but turning WIFI off does nothing as well.
Any thoughts on why I can't receive/view attached pictures?
I was playing around with it a bit and found that I can send myself an attached image and it works fine. But when my wife sends to me, it doesn't work. She's also on an Inspire 4G.
not being able to send pics.
My problem is that I am not able to send any pics but I can receive them just fine. What can I do?

you could start off by not waking an old thread. search around for MMS fix for whatever rom you are running (which is kinda step3, tell people what you have)
Having mobile data on is required to download mms
Sent from my Inspire 4g using XDA
Pictures are mms messages so in order to download and open phone needs data to be on whether your on Wi-Fi or not. mms works on data only and pics are mms.
You can check your apn settings if data is on and still don't work.

Yup. Called AT&T, all setting were fine, so I downloaded Textra SMS and everything works now. It's not a solution to the Hangouts issue, but it's getting it done for now.
i have a problem with MMS in hangout app, friend of mine sent me a multiple pictures but when i click on the photo to go in the full screen it only open the last picture he sent to me
My one m8 is not rooted or modded in any way and I am having texting troubles. It doesn't matter what app I am in, sms texts take about two minutes to send and I sometimes receive duplicate texts from whoever I am texting. I have 4g with three bars and I dont know what the problem is. I can temporarily fix it by restarting my phone but after a couple minutes it goes back to normal. I have tried using hangouts, the htc default messaging app and verizon message and they all have the same problem.

Not sure whether this is the same thing, but my recipients are complaining about getting two of every text message from me. It doesn't matter whether I let Hangouts take over SMS or not. I've disabled the Verizon messaging app; I'm thinking of deleting it altogether. Wondering whether this is an artefact of the Sprint messaging app that is flashed with the extreme powersaver mode zip file.
First off sorry for bringing up this old thread but didnt see the sense in starting a new one.
Just wanted to add that recipients of my texts seem to pretty frequently receive duplicates. For awhile I was using Handcent but completely removed that and am using the stock messaging app with the same results in both. I have not flashed to extreme power saving mode referenced above as a possible culprit.
So with that said just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has any possible solutions? I hate calling verizon but I may give them a call this week on it if I dont get any responses here and see what they say.
Bump. I came here to post a thread on the exact same problem. My texts almost never go through. I've googled it extensively but can't find a solution.

I know this is an old thread and I hate bumping something so old.. but as no one had posted a fix in here (and I'm sick of seeing failed to send messages in my sms app) I know of one workaround that has worked for me. In the default (messages) app, if you go into settings for sms and mms and change priority to High sms and mms work much better. I no longer see failed to send messages and they send in a few seconds rather than 30-60. The only problem is, within that same app, you see a red exclamation point next to every message you send. It's an eye sore but it's the only fix I've seen. I've had this issue on every sms app I've tried and just about every rom including stock. Hope this helps someone...
Edit: I tried finding that exclamation to just delete it from the message.apk but it's pulling it from somewhere else it seems. If anyone happens to know off hand please let me know. I'm going to keep looking for that icon to remove it. I wish this want an issue. It's these little things that drive me crazy.
Edit 2: I found it in the htc framework. com.htc.resources.apk for anyone interested. I'm removing that icon from my phone now... Hopefully it all works smoothly.
I have been using this app ever since handcent caused my phone from sending mms. Holy crap am I surprised that this is the best messaging app I have used. It allows you to text over wifi, which is huge for me because where I work reception is not the best.
I did a search and was curious why this app was never talked about? It truly doesn't feel like you're average verizon bloatware.
Because its from Verizon

I havent used it mostly because its from Big Red. But I may actually look into it now since you seem to have had some success with it
Thanks for the Info! Cheers!

Yep, I feel the same and I also stopped using Handcent and other like it because of the mms problems. I only wish Messages+ had a cooler gui.
I thought I was alone when it came to this feeling. Aside from the UI needing some touching up, the convenience and reliability of the app is amazing. I love the synchronization across devices, responding to texts from my work iPhone, and logging into the website to respond from my browser when I'm too lazy to retrieve my phone from the other room...
Is the texting over WiFi built into the app or the stock Rom itself? I'm wondering if this would work with hangouts.
It would be great if the ui could be personalized and have themes.
Syncing across multiple devices and being able to mute group texts are definitely other great features.
Texting over wifi is built into the app.
You can customize it can't you? Swipe from left side to right. There is a whole customize section. Colors, bubble styles, backgrounds, fonts....

It's actual SMS over WiFi?
How can I go about seeing if the texting over WiFi works for me? Does the app ask specifically if you'd like to send the text via WiFi if there is no cellular signal or... ?

There are limitations to the customization though. I.e., you can't remove the contact photos in the conversation list view. Aside from that, yes, it's simple to make it into a minimalist's daydream.
I hated this app, as well as hangouts and the other stock messages one. Deleted all of them and I love 8sms. I can dark theme it as well as other options. I also hate Samsung keyboard and use Kies. I'm pretty sure the WiFi SMS thing is just something auto done when you're connected to WiFi, not messages app related.

I suspect this is not true. Technically yes, any app can be programmed to just do something like send the txt as an e-mail to a carrier's SMS / MMS gateway if no cellular connection is present, but I'm pretty sure that the message would show up differently to the receiver -- as the full gateway number/e-mail. I'm more curious if the Messages+ app does this seamlessly, and that's what I assume... but I don't have a good area to test it currently where I have a good WiFi signal but no cellular signal.
I will concur with most of you. This app is ACTUALLY useful. Especially when using it with other verizon users, it functions like iMessage as in you can see when people have read it. Also if they are using the app then you can see when they are typing too.
Only issue i've ever had with it is that it will send or receive the same text multiple times occassionally. It's not specific to this phone because i've had it happen before.

ahhh...gotcha, cool deal.
Another great thing about Verizon Messages is that you can use it the send and receive messages on a computer (through a web interface or a dedicated program on PC) and on non-Verizon tablets/phones. Being able to send/receive messages via a computer or any of my wifi tablets is a huge plus.
I might have to try this now. I never really gave it much thought since i been using EvolveSms
I actually like this app and have it installed on a Tmobile device because that phone has WiFi calling and sometimes better reception than my Verizon phone at work. I can get all messages on one phone without having to carry both of them. Send /receive on the Tmobile phone from my Verizon number with this app is great.
My needs are minimal and I like it. It's a nice improvement from the stock app without being buried with features I'll never use.

Anyone else not able to send MMS messages or gifs when connected to WiFi using Google Messages?
I've been using Google Messages and Gboard forever on everyone I've owned but with the S8+, while connected to WiFi, messages just hang. Sent messages always say "sending" and messages sent to me show constantly as downloading. It's not until I toggle WiFi off that the messages come through.

Totally sucks. I spoke with at&t and they said they have communicated with their Samsung rep and it's a known issue.

I had a weird issue with Google Messages, when I'd send a screenshot to someone, they said it was perfectly clear. However when I was in the messages thread and clicked on the screenshot it came up very blurry. (Sprint version) The original screenshot in Gallery looked fine and it did on the device receiving the message. Kinda strange.
I use signal and haven't had any issues. You sure it's not google related?
I can't send or receive mms while on WiFi calling. Stock message app or Google s message app. Got a ticket in with t-mobile now. I've gone back to factory twice still not working.
I also have this issue. I can confirm as told by an AT&T rep on the phone that it's a known issue apparently . I was told they were looking into it, but no idea when an actual solution is coming.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Yea , all of us are in the same point. It's an issue with the phone not properly handing off the connection from WiFi to data in order to send the MMS message while you're connected to WiFi. We're all hearing from our carriers it's being investigated so let's hope a patch is due sometime soon?
