MMS question - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my nokia e71 you could send a mms without attaching anything to it. I sometimes need to send long text messages and when doing it through the default messaging app it won't let me select just a text mms and I haven't found any third party apps that will let me do it either. People are receiving my long texts as 7 or more texts and they don't come through in order. I figured it would auto convert it to mms but it doesn't.
Is this possible?

I though I had it figured out with gosms but that was a dead end.

OK I have officially tried every sms app there is. I just can't figure this one out.

Text message going to wrong person

I installed better keyboard 8 and sent a few text messages. Found out they went to a completely different person in my address book. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm not sure if the keyboard app had anything to do with it or not.

[Q] No SMS

My phone isn't able to send any SMS messages. I can make calls and use data but texts "send" but never get to anyone. I also don't receive texts as well. My Google voice account also won't load any texts after I login, the inbox is just blank.

Bump, this is really becoming an issue, I have no idea what I need to do to fix it. I tried rolling back to an older recovery but it still persists with this. :\
Try reentering SMSC in *#*#4636#*#*.

Look up my thread SMS Messages received but not sent FIX. I cover the SMS issues there with detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Turns out it was Google voice. My number was in limbo apparently. Sprint actually fixed it pretty quick today.

Question about messaging

Does anyone have any insight as to why the stock messaging app would have me download just a regular text message? Doesn't happen every time but enough to get on your nerves.

Never had that happen unless it was a mms (picture)

One thing that did come to mind is it seems to happen when someone sends me a text from an iPhone. Could it be that the Android knows it's superior and rejects the text from the inferior iPhone?

+1000000 hahahaha
mine does that but when its a txt over 160 char long
then it will promp me to DL and comes out like a regular txt
other txts less then 160 char are fine tho
I've never had that happen but if its a problem you can try go SMS, chomp, or handcent.

Check with them if they are using iMessage or something like that. I remember hearing about a texting app on iPhones that uses data and allows iPhone users to text for free.

Tmobile mms not working

Since I had the phone on Thursday everything was fine. I've been using 8sms messaging app and I was able to send and receive pictures. But on Monday all my mms speed coming through. All I get is the notification that there is an mms waiting (see picture). And it's not just for pictures but even if I send a mass text message to a couple people and someone replies it comes back as a mms and even that won't come through, after I click the "download" button it just says "couldn't download message no subject from (senders name)". I'm on a T-Mobile family plan.

will they come through in the hangouts app?
Seems no, I changed my default messaging app back to hangout and had a friend send me a picture, she says she sent two but nothing came through not even the notification like in the above screenshot.
This is my apn

are you using an alternate gallery besides the stock gallery and/or the photos app?
Nop everything is stock. Still nothing came through the hangout app since she sent it

Oh wow - I have to say this is really dumb, I just changed my default to making app to textra and all the pictures/ mms I had waiting came through in the textra app. Still nothing through hangouts and 8sms...

I had this issue a few phones ago with Tmobile. I had to call and add MMS to my account even though it's free. Might not still be that way but worth a call.
Well it works with the textra app but not with hangouts or 8sms.

I was having the same problem with AT&T Nexus 5, installed Textra and all seems to be fine. Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!

Not receiving SMS on sprint

So, unlocked running multiple different ROMs I've noticed that I'm no longer receiving texts. Sometimes they all come in later in the day in a big batch. I am on Sprint and using the Google voice integration. If I install the Google voice app I can get my texts right away in that app but not coming through hangouts. Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas? I've flashed back to stock, but still unlocked and rooted... No change. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Tried using chomp SMS, no change. Also, MMS appears to be unaffected.

I had this issue my first day with my Nexus... I found that toggling my mobile network between global and LTE fixed it. Then I updated profile and PRL and it hasn't happened since
