.GIF mms messaging on cm10

I posted something like this before but it didn't get much attention. I have a huge library of .gif looping pictures on my phone, and love to send them to people as reactions. Sending and receiving these .gif messages worked flawlessly in Touch Wiz, but in the aosp messaging app they are just sent as pictures. Is there any way to make this work?

Hancent didn't work for you? You can't do it through the stock messaging app if that's what you're asking. No, not possible.
When I tried handcent before, it did not work for me. I just tried it now, however, and it sends .gif messages successfully! I appreciate the help everybody!
I don't really like the handcent app so I'll only use it for gifs, but at least I can send them now.
Also I go to reddit.com/gifs or reddit.com/reactiongifs for all of my content

Well, besides Handcent, there's GoSms, and other 3rd party messaging apps that may be able to send Gifs, maybe one of them suits you better.

Ya I've tried several, but I just can't get away from that beautifully integrated aosp messaging app. I'll try to find one that works for me though.
Thanks!

[Q] Hangouts and IPhone

Does anyone know how to disable SMS from going to the Hangout app on an IPhone? Since I have an Nexus 5 now and all SMS,MMS go through Hangouts. When I send a text to my wife they go to her Hangout app instead of her default messaging.. She doesnt want them to the Hangout app she wants them to go to here regular messaging app like it did on my SGSIII. We have Hangouts so we can be able to video chat when Im at work.

Can't you just use another app for your texting? Handcent is nice. You can probably even find the ole standard Messages app easy enough.

its strange that this issue would even exist. if i use hangouts to message my wife, and she's using the stock android messenger, my texts don't go arrive via the hangouts app on her device. i dont know why it would be different on an iphone. i wonder if its a setting on your wife's iphone hangouts app. you check? the issue is definitely with the app/device on her end. i'll do some looking around.

My best guess is that this has something to do with iMessaging. But I don't know what or how, if so.

agreed. i kow nothing about apple stuff except that when my wife finally switched from apple devices, it was a total pain in the ass. her phone, even with the sim card out, would intercept her text messages. this prevented her from getting any texts on her android. had to straighten that out. what a joke.
there must be something in her system settings, imessage settings or hangouts, etc. i'd start looking there.
I fixed the problem, I need to text to her number not her email. Email is for hangouts, number is for standard texting on IPhone. Thanks for the help guys.

Anyone use Invi Messenger and SMS?

This thing looks really nice. I just can't get it to work with receiving MMS for the life of me. Everything else works great. I feel like I've tried everything to get it to work to receive MMS. I even set it as a system application and uninstalled all other messaging apps to no avail. Anybody else use Invi and have it fully functioning?
-Gods
it sucks
Tried it for all of 2 mins after seeing your post and it just had a terrible layout and didn't seem like it would be practical for everyday use.

Text seems to work fine but no MMS will come through. I can open another sms app and the photos come through no problem. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Yep, same thing I see. I sent them an email about the bug. I'd like it to get fixed as well. It's the nicest looking texting app I've seen. For now I'm sticking with Sliding SMS until the MMS issue is resolved.

[Q] Auto SMS to MMS?

Hey everyone. I finally escaped Verizon because the OnePlus was the reason for me to change carriers. I switched over to atnt and well yeah, it's atnt. Anyways, whenever I sent a ams, they have a 160 character limit. After that, it will split up my messages into however many parts and send them. With verizon, if the message was over 160 characters, it would automatically send it as an MMS which does not have a limit.
I use hangouts for my sms, but also tried handcent and the regular messenger and no option was available. I'll receive all messages no matter the length as a MMS, but when I send them to non atnt users, it will split them up. Any mods or anything that can fix this? I've done a little research and have seen some other phones get that feature. Not sure if this is something already being worked on or something.
Currently running CM 11 33R
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm able to send pictures or a location or well anything without a problem and it sends the MMS correctly, just won't convert multiple SMS's to a MMS. One person suggested adding a subject title to any sms and that will automatically convert it to a MMS, except that option isn't available in messaging or hangouts.
Try few different sms apps from play store and play with settings. I have nexus 5 and I can change settings in the app, I downloaded from Nexus 5 apps forum, its an old cm 4.2 app I believe

Any specific apps in mind? Or any other ways around it you can think of? I prefer to use hangouts but I'm aware that I probably can't use it to fix my problem.
Textra or qksms should have it

Thank you for the suggestions. Tried Textra and it didn't work. It only gives an option to split long SMS messages. Tried the MMS messaging options as well and that didn't work either. Cannot find qksms in the play store though.

Its in Alpha, https://plus.google.com/communities/113548623434189541823 join the community and then beta opt in and then you'll find it.
I know for sure QKSMS has it but its still in Alpha.

So tried QKSms and it still doesn't work. It literally has the options that I was looking for, either split a sms into multiple parts or convert a sms into a mms after x amount of parts and you can choose x. I tried doing 2-4 and neither worked. Took some screen shots I'm happy to share if interested. I've tried with different people on every other carrier as well. Any other ideas? Could it be my service in general?

Pushbullet not syncing SMS with Mate 9

Folks, am I just the only one that cannot use Pushbullet with SMS sync?
I have tried all possible settings without success
Any advice?
I'm having the same issue. Googled around but haven't found any solutions. All permissions are set as should be.
Exact same issue, stopped working on Mate 8 immediately after Nougat update. I suppose this is related to the app itself...
Same here. I'm a pro user so I emailed support. Will report what I hear.
I read somewhere (I thought here) that Pulse Messenger was working, it is not - for me at least. I really like this phone/phablet but no sms sync to chrome is killing me.... I imagine I could root and flash a rom but EMUI 5 has actually grown on me.
From what I've been able to find, it's the way Huawei handles sms messaging. The only program that I've found to work for pc messaging is MYSMS and you have to make it your default sms app for it to work.
Pulse does work. I installed it on a flight and we all know how great airplane internet is Anyway, I resync'ed my messages and all is well.
PB got a couple updates over the last couple weeks and the behavior is changed for the better. Not perfect but much better and usable (for me at least). Messages are now sync'ing to my device but when I reply from the chrome extension I don't see my reply on my phone but the recipient does get it. If I reply from the phone, I do see my message on the chrome extension.
textra works great for sms on my mate 9, also try to wipe cache and reset your default messaging app that may help,

Have you heard anything?
I'm having the same problem on my Honor 8. It's not just a pushbullet thing because other apps I use to text (Tasker and Coffee) also don't appear in my texting app (Textra). I'm on 6.0.

I confirm, it works again for me as well.
Being able to see within the messaging app the messages sent via web is another issue, most likely due to the messaging app itself. I use gosms and I've never been able to see the messages sent by "third-party" in the app. It should work with Textra tho.
Yes, they acknowledged hearing from other Huawei owners but nothing firm on a fix. Like you said, it appears to be a Huawei issue. I think the big unknown is, is this a bug or working as designed (for some unknown reason). Outside of this issue, I absolutely love this phone but will move on to something else in a couple years unless this gets fixed.

Is there any update on this? I've been having the same issue, tried Join, Pushbullet, and MightyText. On the SMS app side, tried the OEM app, Google Messages, and Textra. No matter what, SMS sent from the browser do not appear in the SMS app (but the recipient does receive them so that's good). Ugh...
Edit: yeah Pulse seems to work completely - I can see SMS's sent from Chrome/Pulse in the Pulse SMS app and other SMS apps. Guess they found a work-around for this
Hi,
Having same issue here with P9, mighty text or Pushbullet. Messages sent via PC don't show in SMS app, whatever app I use.
Haven't tried Pulse yet...
Do others have solved this with Pulse?
