[Q] SMS Delivery Reports - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having trouble with delivery reports when using third-party sms apps such as handcent? I get delivery unsuccessful even when the other person receives the text and it happens on a few different apps I've tried. It works fine when using the stock messenger.

From my understanding of Android version below 4.4, this can happen to all 3rd party apps. See news article here

SMS/MMS Issues

So lately I've been having some annoying SMS/MMS issues that are starting to grind my gears and I'm starting to feel a bit of resentment over the phone.
I've been getting complaints of iPhone users receiving my SMS twice. I'm seeing that when this happens, I get a "message failed" error in other SMS apps other than the stock SMS app, and then it sends right away. This problem can be recreated on both the stock SMS app and Play Store apps.
I'm also getting this extremely annoying problem with MMS where I can't receive files bigger than 600 KB. I get the error "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal." This is happening on a message over 800 KB.
Has anyone experienced these issues? Is this carrier related? I refuse to believe that my phone will not receive 1 MB or bigger MMS messages, as I'm sure it's quite capable of doing.
Also, does anyone have the APN for HSPA+ without LTE? I'm thinking maybe the SMS problem has to do with the network I'm operating on. Please advise.
Edit: the MMS limitation is due to the stock SMS application. the limit for files received is 600 KB while other applications can download well over 1.2 MB. My problem is solved, I'll have to find another viable SMS application.

Hi,
Did you fix this issue with the recipient received your SMS 2 times?
I am using the stock app and never tried any Play Store app.
For me this happen to an Android Phone too.
Maybe your phone heard you were gonna take her back and now she's mad and is refusing to talk

My phone is send *and* receiving duplicate SMSes from iPhones. Very annoying.
Used to have problems
I used to have mms problems, but ever since i flashed the CleanRom 2.4 on my phone, everything has been peachy keen
coming from a heavily jailbroken iphone, I can say that I do love rooting a whole lot more. I love how android operates and is so similar to linux
OP, not sure which app you were using, but I know ChompSMS was producing the exact results you were reporting.
1) Multiple messages sent / SMS Failed etc. This will show up in both Chomp and the stock app. (FIXED by latest Chomp update!)
2) MMS Adaptation. I have found that this is specifically when iPhone users send you a screengrab of their display. Those are saved in .png instead of .jpg and do not share the same compression rate. Obviously you could just have a really big .jpg, but most likely it is the former.
3) General MMS issues. This will occur if you do not disable "Auto-retrieve" in the stock Messages app.
I know it's a week later, but hopefully this saves you a headache or trips to the AT&T store.
I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

[Q] Mightytext and Glowfly not compatible?

I use Mightytext and Glowfly quite frequently.
Messages sent using Glowfly's quick reply function will not show up in the Mightytext web app. Messages received work fine. All messages still appear in the stock messaging app.
Not sure if perhaps other people have the same issue using both of these apps together. Any insight would be appreciated.
I have already contacted both developers but still haven't received a sufficient response

Most messaging apps unable to handle group message efficiently

I've had some issues with group messaging in the past. I've tried many apps but the only one that seems to work without error is 8SMS. While I have no problem with it, I prefer the look of stock or google messenger. The main issue is the app not downloading the mms at all or when the message arrives and so messages come out of order or way too late. I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or found a fix?
I'm currently running CM 12.0.

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?

OEM Pie - anyone else having issues receiving GIFs?

Unless I'm using the stock messaging app, all GIFs come through simply as images. Outgoing GIFs are fine, but incoming ones are not. Anybody else having this issue? If not, are you using the stock messaging app or a third party one (hopefully not Textra or Pulse because they have the same bug I've described).

No issues on my device, just checked. I'm using Google Messenger app.
However, I've got 2.55.401.1 so a bit newer.
Same problem here. On Verizon. I'll try the default app. Having to use pulse currently because of some weird provisioning bug that won't allow me to receive pictures via mms with any other app messaging app except Verizon messages and pulse
