Anyone with straight talk or net10 with this mms issue? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime i get a new mms i get "new message infront of it which is really annoying. Does everyone else have this issue as well? Below are 2 screenshots i took to show examples. One is in hangouts and the other is 3rd party sms app and ive tried them all. It happens with all but the app "textra" so there must be something written in the textra app that disables the carriers subject line on mms messages.

Nobody??

I have straight talk, I had make new APN settings before my data or MMS worked. I don't use third part apps tho so that might be why and you probably have to disable something if your getting the same msgs.

Thanks, its installed, no rooting required. Looking forward to giving it a good work out tomorrow.
On VZW, SMS works, MMS does not. This app is pulled from an N5, running 4.4 without a messaging app so it will have issues.

Same issue liked it overall but non working MMS is an issue so removed it...
I wasn't able to even get notifications of a new sms.
Working here but doesn't have a widget so no dice for me
Was able to send MMS on vwz gs4 here. I also took the photo from within the app

MMS does not work on the Nexus 5 Hangouts when on Wifi.
Weird. I have a Sprint Moto X. Installed the new Hangouts and I can send/receive SMS & MMS. Even on WiFi it works great. Notifications work and everything. I uninstalled the original stock messaging app too using Titanium Backup. Maybe that's why since it's intended to be the stock SMS/MMS app in 4.4???
Does anyone have an idea as to why i'm not receiving notifications in hangouts for new sms? This was with both the sideloaded update to hangouts and then from the market as well.

[Q] Group Messaging Help

Has anyone gotten group messaging with iPhone users to work correctly on the stock hangouts application? I can send group messages but do not receive any responses. No individual messages and nothing in the group window. I also tried textra and had the same results.
Suggestions?
Gotta be your apn settings. Mine works great on hangouts app

Do you guys in the U.S get free MMS?
The fact that Hangouts sends Group Messages as MMS makes it an expensive proposition here in the U.K?
in the US, every text plan i've had makes no distinction between SMS or MMS, plus i can't remember the last time i encountered anyone with a limited amount of SMS/MMS per month anymore...

SMS to a group

Hey guys...
I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.
Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?

Try Smart Messenger.
I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.

Question on the messenger app

I tried using the Google hangouts messenger app that came stock with the Nexus 5 and it has the option for group messaging so I tried that and noticed that I don't get any of the messages that people reply with to that group chat. Is there any way to fix this? Like allow me to group message with iPhone people and stuff?

[APP] 8SMS - Stock KitKat SMS Client (No root required)

If you are not a fan of Verizon's SMS app-
Play Store Free App - Search "8SMS"
Stock KitKat SMS/MMS Messaging App
It has many settings including dark theme, sms pop up, run stand alone, etc etc.
Enjoy!
Looks like a nice app! Wish I would have found this before SimplyText.
Stupid question, but do either of these handle iPhone group MMS? I've been using Go SMS Pro for a while now just for that reason, but otherwise can't stand it.

Yes 8sms does group messaging. It has an option to convert group to MMS or not.

Great, thanks!
I've been using this app since a little after I flashed KitKat on my s3. Really good app, constantly updated. Without root, this is a must for me.

I think Textra handles them well too. There is a app setting regarding iPhone group messaging in it, but never had to mess with it since it worked right out of the box...
Gonna give 8sms a try now.
