Hi,
I have a strange issue, when I received an MMS, sometimes I can see the photo right away from the default Messages app. But sometimes, I received as a link.
And those were from the same phone number and from the same phone.
Do you know the root cause of this?
Because it would be nice if I can get the photo directly in the app.
Is there anything I need to do / configure?
Thanks.
I have a motorola i886 which is a weird sorta-android phone with no touchscreen... Anyways, I managed to figure out how to root it but now I have another problem.
For some reason whenever I try to send a text message with anything other than the built-in messaging app, it will immediately fail to send. (they all get 'message failed to send' or 'message not sent' errors immediately after I try to send a message) I have tried chompsms, gosms and the quick reply feature from sms popup and they all fail. They can all read incoming messages OK but can not send for some reason.
Is this maybe some kind of permissions issue? In the manage applications menu it says that they all have the send_sms permission...
Does anyone have any idea of anything else I can check or try to get them working? I am kind of thinking that it may have something to do with the fact that this is such a strange phone and a weird modified android...
I'm currently running Google Hangouts 2.1 for SMS. I've been having some problems since updating.
The main annoyance is that I can not change the SMS received notification sound from "Hangouts Message". Doing so in the Settings > SMS results in it just switching to silent (no ringtone). This happens no matter what ringtone I make it, and once I do this it wont change from "silent" unless I delete all data for Hangouts in the App Manager.
The other annoyance is that MMS takes FOREVER to send. 3-4 minutes every time, regardless of signal strength. It eventually goes through, but it always fails, says "Retrying" for a minute or so, then finishes sending. Anyone else struggling with this?
Does anyone here have a fix for either problem?
Anyone not able to get your hangouts and sms to merge? I have the option turned on.

This is one of the reason why am not using Hangout. Try other applications that will work fine for you.
Hi there,
I recently got the new Android messenger app after upgrading my phone to L
I prefer it to hangouts, but I can't receive MMS.
The important thing is - if I use hangouts, I can receive them without issue on hangouts. So I don't think it's my APN settings that are the issue (I'm on Straight Talk)
Is anyone else having this problem?
Tried unchecking auto retrieve MMS, but it just freezes on 'downloading' and the MMS never shows up.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Ah right - I tried doing that but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions though.
I think part of the issue is Messaging has no options for MMS, whereas in Hangouts you can select a different APN.
I can't see any option for this in the messaging app.
I'm having the same issue. I've got android L on the lg g3
MMS works perfectly fine for me in the Messenger app. Both sending and recieving.
I'm also on straight talk and MMS worked fine in hangouts. Since installing messenger it won't receive. Just sits hanging on the downloading screen.
I would love to start using messenger as I feel it handles SMS just slightly better, but can't do without the MMS and group texting features. Will wait for update.
No problems here either, and I'm in an edge area.
I've encountered the same problem. Tried multiple ROMs to be sure; same problem existed. Messaging lets me receive them, but not Messenger. I have to change my default SMS app every time I want to download a MMS message. Sending MMS works, strangely enough.
Same here....when I receive a MMS , the app seems to freeze , I can't send any sms during the "downloading" time
Doesn't work
I always hated Hangouts so i downloaded SMS app now i tried downloading messenger and it will not download MMS messages. I am on Straight Talk and have a Nexus 5.
Thanks
Pic shows my issue and when i hit "Tap" it said download but will not. HELP!!!!!
What I did (I found this somewhere online), go and delete all the APN settings except the one you use. Reboot and viola. MMS on AT&T Straight Talk worked for me in Google Messenger!
Often when I send messages through hangouts whether it's an sms or a hangouts message, the message sends but the hangout doesn't refresh with my message or even the response that the other person sent back.
The only way I can get it to refresh is to back out or close the app and reopen.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I have been facing this issue too using hangouts and so has my girlfriend. I believe it is definitely an app issue that is due from a recent app update. I also feel like It could be an issue with having to many texts I got over 5k+ texts in the app and every time I have cleared the texts it usually fixes the issues. I don't want to remove my texts so if you are in the same situation I feel your pain. :c I am not 100% certain on the solution though hopefully someone can figure it out.
Definitely the new hangouts. I reverted to the old version of hangouts and the problem isn't there.
I see this on my Note 2 and my work phone which is an S6
