Hangouts MMS [FIXED-I think] - Verizon HTC One (M8)

There was a big hangouts update today (you can get it on androidpolice.com). I just downloaded it and tested it, but didnt have much time to test it. It adds the APN settings in the hangouts settings and i'm pretty sure its working now. If anyone has time to test it out while on wifi, please leave a comment saying what APN you used and if it works or not.

Seems fixed to me too... I am on wifi at work, and mms goes through now with default APN... sorry didn't have more time to test.

Also seems to be fixed for me on default APN. I have many different APN names though, like 20+, some of them are exactly the same.

Sweet! Fixed it for me, sends relatively fast now, rather than 5 minutes or not at all! Back to Hangouts for me!
btw what do ppl here use for SMS backups? I used to use GoBackup but it doesn't work too well on this phone.

Hey guys I just received this phone yesterday, and have not been able to send MMS. This happened on my old phone too. I am almost always on WiFi. What do I need to do to fix the issue? Thanks!

Yes, it automatically installed yesterday. A clue to the issue may be that when I tried sending a message of Textra, it said "MMS Denied - MMS subscriber not enabled." I'm on the More Everything Plan with 12 GB of shared data.

i'm pretty sure you need data (not wifi, mobile data) to send MMS. when connected to wifi, i see 4G enable itself then i receive a picture message.

Did you have your data disabled while you were on WiFi? If so, I can imagine that would be why it wouldn't work..?

Yes I did. I turned it on, and the problem still persists. I'm going to consult a Verizon rep and see if I can get it fixed.
EDIT: Apparently my dad had put a bunch of blocks on my phone several years ago, that's why I was having problems. Called the rep and he unblocked everything.

I run a website called WheresMyCellPhone.com that helps people locate their misplaced phone by simply calling it. A lot of users complain about their phone being on silent / vibrate so we've made an app to turn their ringer up when getting a call from the site ONLY.

works great this will help in the future
Awesome, thanks! Yeah we caught a bug pretty early on that wasn't intercepting the calls correctly. But that has been fixed and it seems to be working for everyone now
just downloaded and tried this. works like a charm!
Great to hear, thanks!
That's a great idea, I'll buy you a beer if you can add Australian support
I'm sure many others would too.
The server tried redirecting to a invalid address. please report this to the webmaster of the site.
i scanned it on my windows mobile phone doesn't seem to work.
It's only for US?
i see in the website " country 1 " so if is not only for us, where can i choose other countries ? lol
works great! thanks!
Currently the site is only for the US, sorry. I'm actively trying to figure out how to do it for other countries as well.

Could you provide more information on this? What did you do exactly to get this error?
I just tried this app and website just to test it. I put my phone on Silent after installing the app and then tried the website with my Google Voice number (I had my 3G on). I saw it on the screen, and I saw it raise the volume, but even though it had turned the volume up, it never rang.
Might have been quirk.
Just now (10 minutes later) I tried it again after putting it back on silent, this time with my real cell number and it worked, although for a moment it appeared that it might do the same thing.
Regardless, all one would have to do is try it a second time if they didn't find it the first time. Thanks for this!
Works in Canada too!
Dude, where's my phone?

Hmm, strange. Thanks for the trip report! How long did it ring? Did you have good signal at the time? Also would you mind trying it again to your Google voice number?
Didn't work for me using my Google Voice number. Tried it 3 times and the ringer stayed on vibrate. Guess it has to use the actual number to your phone to work.

[Q] Can't Download or Send Pictures from MMS Texts

I am having a very annoying problem with my t-mobile service. My plan has three lines. I have a mt4g, my wife has a mt4g and my daughter has a mt slide. My plan has unlimited voice/text/web/android etc.... for some reason over the last few days we cannot send or receive picture mms. if we attempt to send a picture via text to anyone they receive a blank message. if someone attempts to send us pictures via text we receive the text with an icon that says "download" but when we click it nothing happens and we can't see the picture. I have taken out my sim card and placed it into my nexus one and the problem still remains. I put my sim card in an old mt3g, Samsung vibrant, and a g1 and the problem still remains. I called technical support for t-mobile and they have no clue what I am talking about and kept me on the phone for over an hour. I then drove to a t-mobile store and wasted 2 hours of my time. They gave me a new sim card and witnessed that the issue still remains. This problem is very weird and annoying. I was just curious if there is anyone else out there in t-mobile world who has also experienced this issue? They gave me a trouble ticket two days ago and still haven't been able to fix any of my lines. You would think that since this is happening on three separate phone numbers they would realize its a network issue and not my devices... HELP?
Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Check to make sure TmobileData is selected and not TelKila. For some reason the phone switches the APN and breaks MMS.

I deleted the TelKila when i first got the phone. i'm on the correct apn as i stated it is happening on all of my phones not just the mt4g
That's been happening off and on for a few days. I just ask the person to email me the pic instead. Any phone can mms a pic to an email address, just use the email address instead of a phone#. MMS seems to be a little wonky the last week or so, about the same time the winter storms hit the south.
Try the chat with a rep option. Much more convenient.
I'm having the same thing. Sorta glad it's not my phone. I get this.

i've tried all options its not the phone its the service...it is happening on all the lines on my cell phone plan. that's separate phone numbers in different parts of the state (nc) so it's not simply a settings issue its a tmo issue. i have a issue ticket with tmo and they call me daily updating me but the issue has still not been resolved

don't mean to bring up an old thread. But since I was hoping to hear what happened to the OP. I'm having the same issue today. It was working fine a few days ago.
I can't receive mms pictures on my MT4G.
I'm also wondering how often this issue comes up. Thanks in advance for any info.

[Resolved] Anyone know how to get rid of this icon in my notification bar

For a DroidX (rooted..but that's it):
I randomly got this voicemail icon in my notification bar last week. I've used google voice for years now, and I've never switched back n forth or anything. I deactivated my google voice today to see if i could manually delete it, but I'm goign to have to go through 2+years of voicemails to even get to my new ones i think (for the built in vzw voicemails).
anyway, anyone know an alt solution to this....notice the date on the voicemail too. wtf is that all about?

I had a voicemail 'sneak' through not long ago, but I just dialed in and deleted it like normal. Is there a way to manage them through the vzw website?

i sure wish there was. i don't think vzw gives that option, surprisingly. but if they even did, i'm sure they'd charge for it
thx for the reply though
aw i finally got it. for some dumbass reason, i thought all my voicemails were somehow cached on vzw side (ya i know..just realized how stupid that sounds). anyway deactivated gvoice & deleted quite a few voicemails until i got to my new one.
sorry for thread hijackin but i have the exact same problem; except its not with voice mail, its with SMS.
I got it when i bought an SMS-ticket for a bus-ride, thing is i sent an sms to a number and was suposed to get an sms back from another number confirming that i bought the ticket and some serial numbers and stuff in it, but i cant find it in my inbox. Although, i have 1 new sms with a red little 1 like the pic, and i have 1 new SMS in the notification bar thingy up top...
at the moment, i have no idea how to fix this, and i've done some reading but cant find any solution. i only have 2400 sms in my inbox atm which should be quite low and not violate some 9300+ bug or whatever that is...
halp pritty plox.
If you are using a custom rom, you might want to back it up using ClocworksMod and then flash the phone back with with Odin3 to stock rom and see if it fixes the problem...............
Did the voicemail message say "Hai it's me! I've built a time machine and travelled back to 1969 to send you a voicemail!!11!. Kthxbai"?

that'll prolly do it. but ahem, i got no custom rom, got 2.2 official, rooted it, fixed some nice theme, some nice apps etc... so any other guess on how to fix it?
discovered that if i delete the message about gettin an sms in the notification bar up top it actually goes away, but if i then enter my sms inbox that still has a red little icon with a 1 in it and then enter a new sms i get the notification about having the sms that i cant read, and if i try to enter the sms thru the notification bar it just takes me to an empty new sms ... just gets wierder :/....

Bug in OTA Android 5.0 - Setting crash

When I go to Settings -> "Data Usage" the application crash: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".
Someone have the same problem?
I'm on T-Mobile, and have not had a problem with looking at Data Usage. Try reflashing?

Try going into recovery, wiping the cache partition and rebooting.
If that doesn't work, you might consider doing a factory reset.

People have started getting the OTA hours ago. Right around the time the factory images came online...
OTA filename or link pleaaaase!
That way we can see if the crashing problem can be reproduced
Format cache & dalvik cache, see if that helps.

Anyway, the only one that experiences this type of issue is OP and no one else so this is not a bug by default and this thread needs to be closed/deleted.

Same problem
I also have a similar problem trying to access language and input. It crashes. Haven't checked data storage setting yet.
Another bug I found, at least for my nexus 7 2013, is for apps that are call-related. Skype, kakaotalk, groove ip, none of them receives voice input from the other side to my device, hence it's muted or screechy.. Skype abruptly ends when attempting video chat, and voice chat doesn't properly start either. Note this is mostly voice apps.
People probably shouldn't conclude it's "pointless" or not without understanding properly what's going on.

I dont remember how i fixed this problem when i had the same issue with 5.0..... Can anyone help me?
i try with:
- wipe cache
- reset factory
- clear cache of setting app

I went to my carrier's office and ask for a new simcard, telling them that the actual was damaged and guess what, it worked!! I finally could use the data usage function!

WiFi drop on 5.1?

It's a couple of times i unlock my phone and i notice the wifi has disconnected, then it riconnects itself. It also happened at first flash of 5.1, right after the setup wizard.
Any known WiFi drops bugs on 5.1?
I am using Cataclysm + EX.
I am not able to provide any adb logcat because it doesn't seem to happen all the times, sorry.
It's becoming a week known issue.
Seems to be a fault in the Wi-Fi settings where the phone is not keeping the Wi-Fi on when the phone sleeps (even though it's set to do that).
I would go back to an older version (5.0.1) until these retards rectify.
I'm having the same problem.
Anyone got a solution yet?
Bump.
The real issue (at least for me) is that when the phone sleeps and the wifi drops, it enables data network, and I have not unlimited data plan...
How is possible nobody is talking about that wifi behavior ?!
Happened once or twice but that's it.
Someone on G+ that had our same issue said he turned off automatic wifi freq (wifi > advanced) and the drop never happened again.. yet.
That's not a proper fix but better than nothing.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.

I usually use the phone in vibrate mode, but today I brought the device to the audio mode and Wi-Fi started to disable when i turn off screen.
