I have read another thread on here with people having the issue of VERY delayed MMS using Hangouts. Just wondering if there is a definitive resolution to this yet, or if anyone even knows what the root cause is? I'm guessing its not the app in and of itself, otherwise one would think it would happen on every device.
Wonder if manually entering an APN would help.
Just looking for ideas...
I will say this. I tested using the stock Messaging app, and everything seems to work as quickly as expected. I love using Hangouts, but perhaps until a proper fix is found, I just need to use the native stock app
I'm also having SMS/MMS issues using hangouts with this phone, seems like even regular SMS messages sometimes take up to 5 minutes to send, and usually send 2 or 3 of the same message, and I'll receive duplicate messages back. It's strange, i had zero problems with hangouts on the previous HTC One using hangouts, hopefully an update or something fixes it.
I'm having no issues

Hmmm.. SMS works flawlessly, but if I try to send to multiple recipients or send a picture, it may take a good five minutes or more. And if you delete the picture, it just pops back up later.
Stock works fine, I just want it all in one
I have no problems with regular SMS with Hangouts. MMS is slow. Think every MMS I've received had to retry before I got it.
This happened when Hangouts was first released when using on the HTC One M7. We're probably going to have to wait for an update from Google before it's fixed.

I just wanted to let everyone know who uses a Rogers phone and has the timestamp issue (on Sense UI), before the applicated smsfixtimes in the market only fixed previously received messages and left the new ones still with the wrong timestamp.
it has been updated and now works!!! so you can finally read conversations normally in the messaging application on a Sense UI rom on the rogers network
Rogers time stamp
Specifically which ROM are you referring to?

I think he's saying that you install the "smsfixtimes" app from the market and it will fix it on any ROM.
I just installed it on the MyHero ROM. I'm using Chomp and all timestamps are working now. The auto configuration didn't work, I had to manually figure out how many hours to adjust the time.
In Chomp SMS the incoming time is correct. It works while Chomp is running or not. Notifications show right time, conversations list shows right time and long press message shows right time. Incoming and outgoing messages are all good.
Thanks!
no, he is saying that the smstimefix app was the old method of fixing ya times. but a new real fix is out. maybe rogers pushed a fix?

Pretty sure he is saying that the app has been updated and now works for the rogers phones.
Rogers already fixed the time stamp on their own rom... not sense ui ones.. since they don't have it.
Or we could just all test the app and see for ourselves
im saying that if you have a magic phone on the rogers network, the updated smsfixtimes finally fixes the issue of having messages with a timestamp of 4-5 hours earlier. the automatic setting doesnt work, you have to do it manually.
ive only had the timestamp issue with sense UI roms. myhero, hofo, etc.

I prefer and use Handcent SMS. A lot better than Chomp IMHO, and it shows the pretty facebook pictures!

I cannot get smsfixtimes to work for me. I unistalled it and reinstalled it as well to no avail. Messages are always coming in 5 hours earlier. Am I doing something wrong?

did you set the time to +5 instead of 'Automatic' ?
so this is good that it works, but it's not really fixed. is there a way to fix it properly? it doesn't work if messaging is open and it doesn't work in the notification text, like on the lock screen for example
what did rogers do to patch it in their update? Is there anyway that can be ported to a senseui rom?
You have to set it to 5+ when you first install smsfixtimes or it won't work at all.
IMO smsfixtimes is the PERMANENT fix.
thats bull****...smsfixtimes is a workaround/hack... it doesn't fix the notifications etc...
Rogers released an update that fixed the sms times (w/out smsfixtimes...)...fixes the notifications and everything...
What exactly did they change? ...

Rogers fixed the other timestamp problem where non - EST people across canada got thier messages in EST.. this timestamp is sense rom related so they wont fix it.. if you dont use these roms there is no problem to fix.. was waiting for rogers to get the official sense RUU like taiwan etc.. but not here yet
I understand that rogers wont fix it.... but there has to be a way to 'port' their fix over to a senseui rom.... the question is what 'exactly' changed between the original rom and the updated rogers rom...
Also, does anyone have dumps of the original rom AND the updated rom (I can only find the one with the timestamp issue.) I would like to poke around and see if I can do anything. (Although unlikely seeing as I haven't ever modded a rom...anyone have any good links for beginner rom development on a linux box?)
Anyone else not receiving their text messages through google voice. It was working fine for me when I had my desire. For some reason I never get the texts pushed to me. I have to open the google voice app to check if I have any texts. Thanks in advance.

My next suggestion would be to uninstall the app, and reinstall then. There's really nothing else you can do.
I tried that too. Tried resetting the phone and...I've tried 3 different sensations they all had the same issue. Only work around I found was if I added that gmail account and sync it and then forward the google voice texts to that gmail account. Btw thanks for ur suggestions. I googled the issue found one other person with the issue. Maybe it will be fixed with the 2.3.4 update.
It works fine for me. The only problems that arise are when my connection is shoddy it will not tell me about new texts.. otherwise it works great.
Dunno man. I have a T-Mobile Sensation, Google Voice works great stock, after the 2.3.4 OTA update, and on CM7.
Finally got it to work. It took a few tries of logging out and logging back in. Thanks for all the help guys.
has anyone got the message "cant not receive pictures, balance too low" well i cant believe i got this and i am on the $55 plan.. this shouldnt be possible. does anyone know how to fix it.?
Have you tried to reactive the phone. I haven't ever had this show up, so I am just W.A.G-ing it here.
It sounds like a problem from VM's side... although I have poked around their MMS.apk and it's hard-coded into the software. So possibly not. Although VM is the first group I would blame.
Second might be wifi. If you have wifi on, disable it, get your 3G working, and try receiving again...
I have had this happen to me a few times, it is a glitch in VM's system. I usually get the message with in a few hours after the error message, it has however taken as long as a week to a month in some cases. My suggestion to you is if it happens again you could try calling VM asap. Personally I just ask whoever it is that sent the message to email me it

I have issues receiving MMS as well. I don't get the balance too low message, instead I have to use the stock messenger app rather than handcent (only mostly default settings). Haven't tried tweaking handcent yet to resolve though. If you have handcent try the stock, if the problem exists stock try handcent maybe.
Well I can receive them now. But when I posted this question I didn't take the time to wait it out. It was the least of my concerns. Lol I installed miui 10/30 on triumph. And my mms was and still is working at the moment

I can't get MMS to work at all. Can't send or receive with ANY app. I just says HiddenSenderAddress and fails to download when receiving and does NOTHING when trying to send them. The ones I receive that can't be opened if I try to delete them it crashes the app, no matter what app I'm using. So weird. I wish I knew what was wrong. I'm using Weapon G2x with Faux123 Kernel but I can't imagine that would have anything to do with it because no matter what messaging app it fails.
Anyone else having this or resolved this?
Did you just flash the rom and this happens, or have you used the rom for a while and this just started to happen, all of a sudden?

There were reports of problems with MMS using Weapons. He had a download for the Stock MMS to correct the problems.

Too answer both questions I've had it flashed about a month but didn't get any MMS in that time, just SMS. I did flash the stock MMS and still a no go.
Just use a different rom.
The last few days I haven't been getting any notifications of sms. I am on stock 1.73, no root, stock sense sms app. No other sms apps installed. It's getting really frustrating when the wife texts me and I don't get it (and even more frustrating for her). I've checked all the notification settings and they're all checked.
Any thoughts on what to do? I think I'm just going to take it back to att and swap it out for a new one.

My first One X did that. I replaced it and my new one notifys me every time.. Return it.

Do you by any chance have the Visual Voicemail app running (either the market or the XDA hacked version). It was preventing my sms form reliably notifying me (about half of the time). Removed, and fixed.
Did you check the settings in the SMS app itself? There are seperate ones for SMS if you go messages>menu>settings>notifications

Uninstall and should fix your problem. At least that was my solution .
Go to SMS settings the notifications check vibrate on receive.

I just uninstalled my visual voicemail and will see if that helps
My wife and I each have this phone, and we both downloaded VVM app. After a few days I decided to uninstall mine but my wife kept hers, and she isn't getting (or randomly gets) sms notifications. I get all notifications promptly. I am going to uninstall VVM and see if that works. Also both phones are stock and not rooted.
Have this problem as well but don't have the VVM app. Stock 1.7, no root or unlock, no secondary sms apps.

Mine seems hit and miss. Sometimes there will be the flashing light. Sometimes there won't. I just turned on the vibrate when received option to see if that will affect it any.

It's been a while - did uninstalling VVM work for you?
I installed VVM from the .apk that was floating around and she has issues with missing SMS notifications. She'd much rather have accurate notifications than VVM.
Does uninstalling after you've set VVM up have any ill effects? Does traditional voicemail still work OK?
Thanks,

Hey everyone having this issue - I have had this REALLY frustrating issue, with no solution found (and Telstra unable to provide help), so I widened my search to all phones. It appears to be an even bigger issue with some WP7.5 phones if that makes you feel better.
Anyway, what the issue seems to be is as follows:
The SMS message is sent from the carrier and received perfectly according to their reports, and in actual fact it is received perfectly, but here's the catch:
Messagebank does not receive a NEW message, it UPDATES the existing SMS you probably have in your phone!
SOLUTION: It's not a great one, but if you DELETE the Messagebank SMS text message thread every time you have received one and checked the voicemail, the next voicemail you receive will notify you properly as every other SMS does.
Hope this helps someone until a better solution is found (auto-delete voicemial texts anyone?).
Why are you guys still on 1.73?
This got fixed (along with lots of other things) ever since I upgraded to 1.85. If you don't want to upgrade for whatever reason, I heard some people used GoSMS instead and that worked.
