Sup guys.
Loving the M8--it's gorgeous and functional in almost every way I ever could have wanted.
However, I'm finding that using MMS has been kind of a pain. Coming from a gnexus up to date with cmod, I never had any problems with group texts over MMS, but it's been a source of annoyance on the M8. I started off using Hangouts, only to find that I got the annoying "tap to download" message on incoming texts to the group, and even with that, I realized that the MMSes delayed significantly (like five to ten minutes).
I've now switched to the HTC messages app, but it's not ideal either. Group texts arrive on time, but they also show up as individual texts before the app organizes them into the group. In general, I also just prefer using the Hangouts app and having all my messages (Hangouts, SMSes, and MMSes) in one place.
Anyone else running into this problem? It's a pain.
I had similar issues with receiving MMS, it had something to do with the APN settings. Do a search for VZW APN on Google and you should find a solution.

This does not work if your on Wifi.... apparently multiple people including myself cannot send MMS when your connected to Wifi using Hangouts. If I turn wifi off, its fine. I have reset, tried the above, etc... 3rd party MMS work fine on wifi, as well as the built in VZW and HTC app. Hangouts works fine with MMS and wifi on my Note 3...
There are a few threads on this scattered about already.

if i uninstall Hangouts will I lose my existing messages? i'm assuming yes. and since i'm rooted and backed up all my messages via TB (xml) I wonder if this is part of the issue.

Open the Verizon messages app and back up all of your sms just in case. It's actually kinda handy for a Verizon app.
Your sms xml should have zero effect on your outgoing network traffic. Several people who reported an issue are using a different kernel and flashed the newest update. It could be that or the combo of the two.

Download scrosler's stock ROM, clear cache and dalvic, then install it. Use titanium backup, or other app to remove hangouts. If you have XForceEnter Xposed mod, disable it.
If none of that works, throw your M8 into the wall... LOL!
Just kidding. Don't do that.

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.

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

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.
Hey guys I'm having a few issues with my phone and if anyone has had these problems before and have any fixes.
I'm running Cyanogen 2013-02-01 with stock kernel
1. I seem to be having problems with sending mms messages when over wifi. Now with this though, I can perfectly send them over 4g etc. If I happen to turn turn wifi ON I have to go into recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik cache before I can send a mms again over 4g, otherwise it might take a day or three to send the message.
2. Having strange thumbnail previews of pics as you can see in the pic. But this is also going on on my desktop after uploading the photos from say dropbox or anything. This doesnt happen to every photo but it's irritating because it will cover the view of the photo I may want to view.
pic url too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7trfxtf2zus4ir/2013-06-16 18.30.42.png
If anyone has any ideas or solutions aside from flashing (personal reasons about backing up) I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!
Figured I would update the OP;
Partially Solved - The thumbnail icons was partially solved by doing quite a bit more digging and found that I should delete the thumbs.db file in the DCIM folder. I did that and only a few images were fixed. Also the MMS seems to be fixed as I believe it had probably been a bad flash because I did get the time to do my OCD backups and reflash/restore what I needed to so a fresh flash seemed to do the trick for now. Thanks for the info guys!
You cannot send mms over wifi. Mms will always be sent using data. Even if you are on wifi, data needs to be toggled and you will see the 4g icon appear as the message sends even while you're connected to a wifi network

Cyanogenmod uses its own custom messaging app. To restore mms over wifi, you need to flash the stock one. It should be available in the CM7 topic, maybe hellfire phoenix.

I should of also mentioned I use the Handcent app for messaging and such and never had this problem before. I remember back in old threads something about mms and wifi being a problem at one point but didnt think that would apply to CM by now. I'll go back and do some searching see if there is a fix.
maybe try the go sms app. and try checking the option for it to handle all your sms stuff. its the option you check if youve uninstalled your stock sms app. because it might just be a bug in the stock sms app.

So far so good. Restored my old MIUI backup (moved to my /0 folder before flashing), had a settings FC on boot and a music FC when adding the music widget, but no issues since.

@krazie1 - I have the Zero Lemon 7000 mah battery. My initial run with my kids watching Netflix and Hulu, I was at 3 1/2 days when it hit 1%. I do underclock the kernel to 1184mhz and leave the voltage alone. I have always set up my phone like this.
@StrumerJohn - I would like to rebase it with the latest CM 10.1 nightly and the latest MIUI. I thought I saw Notorius stating that CDMA was broke after 3.6.28. I'm on vacation after tmw for about a week, so I should have more time to set that up. I don't want to say that this is a one-time deal. I always been interested in Android and finally have some time to learn. Depending on my transfer at work, I may not have enough time to keep up. The only major thing as of now that I would love fixed is the LTE/CDMA setting and the front facing camera. I haven't ran a logcat to figure out what's going on with it. But thanks for the offer of help. I will take you up on that.

@prenedo - Before I added the ERI.xml to the framework-res.apk, I used it to say Verizon Wireless. Everytime it would put VZW in the carrier field, data would get messed up.
K. Yeah, I tried changing it and got a FC, then I went into roaming (I also entered network settings, so not sure what caused it). Nothing that a reboot and a change to the secret menu didn't fix. Still running good. DL'ing some themes now, they seem to apply fine. I get a music FC on reboot, but still haven't tested the music app itself though.

I messed with something earlier and went into 'digital roaming' and only had 4g as well... A reboot fixed it (you'll have to reenter the phone code to turn on 4g)
Edit: I take that back. I'm unable to send SMS or make calls either (not in roaming and everything looks good with my connection) . I wonder what went wrong. Gonna try a few things and I'll be back.
@hackers, are you signed into a xiaomi account? I wonder if their cloud/VoIP stuff is messing it up? Also, I tested the music app, all works well; it seems the problem is with the widget. As soon as it's added, music FC's. Probably a MIUI bug with this weekly were using.
Edit 2: so playing around in hidden menu (just switching between different network modes) I somehow put my phone into 'digital roaming' again. When I'm on digital roaming, SMS and calls work, when I'm fully connected and 'Verizon' is displayed in the status bar, SMS and calls won't send/receive. Not sure what this means, but hopefully can help narrow down the issue.

I do have a Xiaomi account and logged in. Do not turn on any of their sync problem. I have read with other posts that could cause problems. What you could try is to go into Settings > Mobile Network > Select CDMA then reboot > do the 4636 code to select LTE/CDMA to see if that help. I remember that trick from Notorius' MIUI thread. I have had no issues with calls, sms/mms, or data.
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.

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.
My dad's phone got the 4.4.3 update yesterday. All of a sudden, his messaging (Hangouts) stopped working correctly. Sometimes, when he tried to send a text, Hangouts would just crash. He could still receive messages without a problem, but he was unable to send them. I thought it might just have something to with the bad weather/power outages because my Nexus 5 was having some problems sending messages (but my Hangouts wasn't crashing). But more recently, I have not had any problems, but now Hangouts crashes every time without fail on his Moto G. I tried using different SMS apps, but they all crashed when I tried to send messages, too (but receiving is fine). I've also restarted the phone, toggled airplane mode, removed and replaced the SIM, reverted Hangouts to its original, and quick booted and erased the phone's cache all to no avail. Could this problem have been caused by the update? Is the phone crapping out? Is it a carrier problem? Something else? Advice?

My dad's phone got the 4.4.3 update yesterday. All of a sudden, his messaging (Hangouts) stopped working correctly. Sometimes, when he tried to send a text, Hangouts would just crash. He could still receive messages without a problem, but he was unable to send them. I thought it might just have something to with the bad weather/power outages because my Nexus 5 was having some problems sending messages (but my Hangouts wasn't crashing).

Same here with wife's phone. She makes me search for a fix. Who is your carrier? Hers is Straight talk. She just can't send text. Picture sending/receiving and incoming texts work ok.
At least we're not the only ones! Ours is T-Mobile. I haven't tried sending data messages. I'll have to try...
Update: MMS works fine. Just sent a picture to myself.

for all, have you try to update your hangouts after updating to 4.3.3 ?
Hangouts updated and crashing as well. I tried several different messaging apps with the same result
Have you tried disabling the messaging app and also clearing the data and cache for handouts?
Try this one: Settings > Apps > All > Reset preferences.

Did that as well as deleting and reentering APN settings.

Hey, we are back in the game! Thank you for your tip, it worked (at least in my case). Thanks again!
Well since it seems to have had some success, I'll try this in morning and let you know how it goes!

Are you guys sure the Messaging app was fully disabled after the update? Also, the only app default for Hangouts is to be set as the default messenger. Perhaps going into settings and setting it as the default messenger would do the same as reset app preferences without resetting all your other defaults.
It didn't make any difference for me. I couldn't send text messages no matter what app was default.

After messing with this some more, it seems the issue is if you disable the Messaging app, this behavior exists. If you keep it enabled, then Hangouts will work just fine. This is a pretty bad bug imho.
Can't enable messanging app

Why would you not be able to enable it in the settings?

Im on 4.4.4 and can even seem to disable the messaging app on my moto g.
So this issue exist on the Moto X 4.4.4. Had Messenger disabled while on 4.4.2 and used Hangouts (past and current version) with no problems. After update to 4.4.4 problem started, but solved with the known solution of re-enabling/re-installing the Messenger app. The problem also exists if Messenger is uninstalled.
My question is does anyone know what is causing this issue? Is it a change in the Messenger app, Hangouts (unlikely), or the core OS (seems most likely to me).
Just curious more than anything, but I would like to remove the Messenger app if possible.
