Has anyone figured out how to increase the MMS size? Or is it due to the new SMS app?
Download GoSMS from the market if you don't already have it installed
(I've attached Screenshots for you to follow along)
Go to Settings, click the "Advanced" tab, scroll down and click "MMS settings"
Click on "Maximum MMS size"
Set to desired file size limit.
Then press back button
Check the box to "Preserve image resolution"
And BAM, your done. Easy Peasy.
Even though I have no 4g here in Phoenix AZ, I usually have it set to 2M. It usually takes a little longer to send on 3G but I can confirm that it does in fact send.

I was wondering if there was a registry hack to allow images to always be shown in emails. I'm tired of always having to press "Show images" for the email then allowing scrolling to the right. Is there a way to have BOTH of those always on? I don't see any type of option for that in the messaging application.
Ok, after I installed the gutted ROM I have the double messages again even I get a text. But there isn't anywhere to choose handcent as default, like it was prior to rooting. I go into the settings on both handcent and stock msg and there is no option to make either a default. I assumed when I sent my first text from handcent I would get the message, but nope. Can anyone tell me how to make handcent default so I can stop getting 2 messages?

In the stock messaging app, go into settings and de-select Auto-retrieve and de-select Notifications. Close that and go to your People app and select someone to send a text message (don't do this in the Handcent app) and you should get a text box to choose which app to use and be sure to select Handcent as the dafault action.
Make sure notifications are turned off in the stock SMS app. That's all I had to do to get Handcent to be my default SMS app. You can also clear your settings, much like you'd do to switch between Sense UI and the stock home screen.

Perfect!! That worked great, thanks for the help guys.
Does anyone know why all my text messages will get automatically deleted from time to time? It happened using the stock text app so I downloaded Handcent and It just now happened to me again? Is there a certain setting I can change or anything like that?
Handcent and the stock sms messenger work hand in hand. Handcent has a setting to disable the stock and all other 3rd party messengers but I have found it not to work. So with that in mind any text you get in handcent you will also get in the stock app. So the same holds true. If you delete a message in the stock app then it will also delete in handcent.
Now go to your stock messages app. Hit the menu button and select "settings". Select "general". Under "storage settings" you most likely have "Delete old messages" checked. Just uncheck it and you should be good to go.
Ok I think I stumbled on how to enable Download Booster without root or anything. This is on a Verizon Galaxy S5, running Android 5.0.
Basically it seems like I am pulling up a menu that was supposed to be hidden. Oddly enough, now, when I go to Settings and look under "Wireless and networks" and click on "More networks" the "Download booster" option just shows up for me as if it was supposed to be there.
Anyways here are two different methods that may have made it work:
NOTE : Before doing these steps, I had "Hangouts" set as my default messaging app.
Method 1
1) Settings > Applications
2) Go to "Messages"
3) Click on "Default Messaging app"
4) When a prompt comes up saying "Change messaging app?" choose "Yes"
5) Click on "Default Messaging app" again
6) This time it takes you to a "More networks" screen
7) Click "Download booster" and turn it on.
8) Set your default messaging app back to Hangouts if you prefer it
Method 2
1) Open "Hangouts"
2) Go to "Settings" and then "SMS"
3) Click on "SMS enabled - touch to change your default SMS app"
4) It takes you to a "More networks" screen
5) Click "Download booster" and turn it on.
6) Set your default messaging app back to Hangouts if you prefer it
Basically I am just looking for someone to give this a try and see if they see the same thing. If it works, great - if not, I will remove this post (or at least update the title) so people don't waste their time. It definately seems to be enabled on my stock S5, and when I tried downloading a large file it seemed to kick in.
On lollipop 5.0 all you have to do is go to settings more networks is on the top

So on Lollipop, the Verizon S5 has it enabled / available by default? Wow.. I feel stupid.
Can you guys confirm that it actually boosts the download speed? It should show the icon at the top and show activity. Think there is a display in the pulldown add well when it is active

Looks like G5 should support advanced messaging feature on T-Mobile. I had few Samsung phones that had some settings in the messaging app. G5 for some reason doesn't have any settings in messaging app that would point to advanced messaging. I texted my friend who has Galaxy S8, who is also on the same network. He can see when I type a message, but I don't see when he types. Looks like it could be working half way for some reason.
I noticed that on T-Mobile's support page, one of the older updates has: Advanced messaging issue fixed (Software version H83010d)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30673
What works at the moment:
1) VoLTE
2) Video calling
3) Band 12 support
4) WiFi Calling
5) HD Voice
My phone supposedly has the latest software of H83020i with April security patch.
Use these steps to set up and use SMS / MMS messages with Advanced messaging on the LG G5.
Change advanced messaging settings
Tap Messaging.
Tap Menu > Settings.
Tap More.
Change settings for Text messages or Multimedia messages as desired.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30606
It probably won't work with all 3rd party text apps. For instance I use an older version of Handcent (I'm not giving it up!!! Screw you, crappy update!) and it has a built in 1MB limit for photos. But that's an app limitation, not a phone limitation. It still sends an image, but it reduces the size. It also won't support the "see that the other person is typing a message" thing.
But again..app limitation.

I have seen the above doc from T-Mobile and there are no settings about advanced messaging of any kind. I am using stock messages app that was on the phone. As I understand, it should just work, if there are no other visible to the user settings. On Samsung for example, there are chat settings options in the messaging app.
It started working: I went to recovery and wiped cache, then restarted the phone. Advanced messaging options appeared in the app's settings.
