I normally send PM's through my phone, but when I'm home I send them though my PC. Although messages sent from my pc appear to go through, meaning I dont get any errors, the messages don't show up in the sent folder. This leads me to believe they're not truly sending. When I send the same message through my XDA app on my phone, they send perfectly and show up in my sent folder. I tried this sending messages to multiple people, and they only go through on my app. Has anyone else heard this, or had this problem? Slightly annoying.
thanks

Hello
I have a probs here, why i can't send Private Message.
Everytime i send, there's no message i have sent in my Sent Message folder.
Help please?
there are many reasons for this to happen, perhaps:
they disable receiving PM or they only enable it for their contacts and mods
they set their profile privacy, so that bla..bla..bla
u're in their ignored lists
*PM me for testing that everything works fine
I'm having this problem as well. I can't get any private messages out, no replies, no new ones, nothing. They don't even show up in my outbox.
EDIT: huh. I went through my options and had it save sent messages in my outbox which got everything right. If I don't save to outbox, I can't send a pm at all. Weird.
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

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.

I've been having problems with my texts getting to other people out of order. Some of this is caused by the poor reception I have at work, but I group messages come only as individual messages from each recipient/responder. The strings are all out of order and I can't seem to reply to all the people on the list. Anyone else have this problem?
i was loosing messages pretty consistantly, i have crappy reception at work and the stock messaging app would get stuck. i use handcent now and turned on the delivery reports, so now i have a verification when they recieve a message i send... it might help you trying out handcent or go-sms...

I used handcent once before and wasn't nuts about it. How about group convos? The stock app has never seemed to work the way other people's phones work with group messages. There is no indication that its a message that's been sent to multiple recipients unless I look at the message details. And then there is no way to reply to everyone at once short of starting my own sms and entering all the recipients? Am I right about this or am I moronically missing something?
i never bothered trying to figure out the group thing, i get scared i will send incredibly inappropriate stuff to the wrong people, lol

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 am using MightyText (and PushBullet) to send text from my desktop. Text messages get sent and the other ends receive them, however the sent messages don't get saved in the message database (they are not in the threads in the messaging app). Anyone has the same problem? Solution?
Thanks!
Same here
Having the same exact problem. Loving this phone but really wish someone could find a solution for this, I tried messing with soooo many settings and nothing.
Anyone?
