Random Sent Txts - T Mobile - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else's phone sending out random text "Activate:dt=6" from their phone?
No idea why or what it means.
Thanks.

Google, top results, suggests it's related to T-Mobile and visual voicemail. Do your research son!

Anyone able to find out how to stop this? Apparently T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app triggers this when it's enabled. I want to keep getting the visual voicemails but not have these texts keep getting sent from my phone.

I thought the voice mail limit was set by verizon, not the software on your phone. Hence, why you can get it without directly using your phone if you want.
Voicemail limit is set by verizon, not the phone itself. If you want to have ALL THE VOICEMAILS and never have to delete them, go with google voice - far superior to vzw visual voicemail. (and you don't have to worry about that pesky no-voicemail-icon with gb roms )
How do I get Google voicemail to work?

Call your voicemail?
I've had an issue once where my voicemail was bugged. Calling it would bring me to nothing (no tone, nada) and the notification would randomly popup even after I dismissed it. Calling back my voicemail at some point and deleting the message fixed it somehow.

Don't know how your voicemail works, but mine I have to call my phone number to get to it. Holding the 1 key to call voicemail gave me a similar error.

If you go to settings, then call settings, what is your voicemail service set to? Carrier or Google Voice? If it's the first one, in voicemail settings you can change the voicemail number to the one you should be using.
I have changed the number and still receive that notification that I have voicemails :/

Have you been able to get into your voicemail though? As I said earlier, my notification would popup randomly as long as I didn't listen to the message in my voicemail.
my carrier voicemail?---no (gives me error)
Google voice--- yes

That's probably the source of your problem. I'd call your carrier to inquire about what's going on.
ya....now that I think about it I had that error before I rooted my phone....calling sprint!

Not sure if you've resolved this yet or not, but I was having the same problem. I just went into call settings and changed the voicemail number from "*86" to my personal number and everything fire right back up. Hope this helps.

Google hangouts group text messages converts to mms

Does anyone know whether there is a way to send group texts on the new hangouts as SMS rather than as MMS?
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Wish I knew the answer to this.
Just got my first bill on my new contract only to find that the 48 messages I sent to give people my new number were sent as MMS.
Turns out that as soon as you as more than one contact to a text it gets changed to MMS.
Not only did I get charged, I also found out that a lot of people's phone's don't even receive MMS so it was a complete f**k up all round.
Google now owes me £12.

No voicemail notification

Is there a fix for this? I don't use GV. Just the standard sprint vm service. I did notice that my phone/messaging service isn't running. (See pic) Back on my gnex i had the opposite issue and would clear and force stop it to get the vm icon to go away. Now i can't get it to notify me on my nexus 5. Any tips?

You pretty much have to use GV if you want voicemail notifications on Sprint with this phone. There's really no way around it, unfortunately.

not a fan of GV, simply due to sms ending up in both messaging and GV.
tried youmail and seems to work fine. i would prefer vanilla voicemail but youmail seems to be the least intrusive.
Should that service be running? Is that possibility why my notifications arent coming up?

Can't see emoji from iPhones or ppl from other carriers unless MMS

Is there any way to fix this?... people with iphones only see question marks when I send emoji and I receive them the same way...I can see them on twitter Instagram and Mms tho. Is there a way to fix this? Never had this problem on my S3 and its really bugging me

Do you use google voice? It's better with emojis than it used to be, but still not the best, could be the cause of your problem, I know it is mine.
yeah i do use google voice. I've tried sending SMS over 3G and 4G using google voice and my carrier in the hangouts app with no luck. I think it must have something to do with antenna in our phone or something because it sends fine over wifi
I know it's a pain, but try disabling voice, or just have the voicemail part used. Not through the app, but on your computer, like completely disable voice and try that way. From what I know, it can't handle the emojis and they generally get turned into an mms in order to send. try it out and see if that's really your problem or not.
Ahhhhh thank you so much I can finally send them. Sprint integration with google voice was the problem. Once disabled it worked fine

Sweet, that was my issue too, too bad it had to come down to using emojis, or texting over wifi and from computers and stuff. It's a tough one for me.
