Anyone have trouble sending mms? Mine just stalls and eventually gives me a notice that it can't be sent...had the trouble for a while now....

Are you having this problem on both 3G and Edge or just when you are on Edge?
your not trying to send it through google voice are you?
I had trouble with mine on EDGE. The solution was to get Handcent SMS and set the size of the MMS.
Settings->Send message settings->Maximum MMS size and I set it to 100k
No problems since.

I am also having this problem. I found that it was only an issue on Edge.... which is all that is available here. Pretty much rendering my MMS messages useless. Along with GPS. So im quite displeased at this moment.
As for the Settings = send message settings above thing .... I do not see the "Send MEssage Settings" option anywhere. Not in Message Settings or in regular Settings. Any particular place for it? Hope it works if i find it. Frustrated.
Correction - I see you mean to get the program Handcent SMS. Though that actually pisses me off more that I have to get a program to send on Edge, I will give it a shot.
Works
I can confirm that the Handcent SMS app on the Marketplace works for MMS on Edge network. Thanks for the tip off good sir.
If you're running Stock JF6 ROM and only has EDGE signal, you have two choices:
1. Some how shrink the picture down to 100k or so. Anything bigger won't send over EDGE. It is one of the known bugs in stock ROM.
2. You can flash to the newer leaked beta ROM. This bug has been addressed in newer ROMs.
Or you can wait for the official ROM update that fixes GPS among other things. No one know when that will happen yet.
Question for mmm_tacos
mmm_tacos -
Did you find a way to disable the regular Messaging system so you dont get two notifications for every text/MMS message received?

You should be able to open the stock Messaging application and hit your menu button and go to settings and go to Notifications and uncheck it.

much appreciated
I can send a MMS, but cant receive one.
Those I send it to do receive it.
When I receive a MMS I get a Txt which has a 'Download' button in it. I try to download but it doesnt work, even if the photo is tiny.
Im on JH7
Hey there, I've been looking for a way to fix this for a few days now and im stumped.
Im using Synergy rom, juice defender ultimate and handcent. My problem is when I receive MMS messages while connected to wifi I have to manually disable wifi then re-open handcent and download the message again. Same with the stock messaging app. It seems handcent doesnt like to use wifi. I cant find any settings in either app that seem to allow me to force MMS to downloag over 4g. Has anyone else had this issue?
P.s. it also happens while sending mms messages. If I do not manually change any settings and let JD do its thing, it takes hours for a picture messgae to send.

had this same issue on cleanrom. i ddint use handcent nor juicedefender. i just swtiched over to synergyrom r443. i don't have any issues now. hmmmmmm??? i am unable to explain this to you, it's well beyond my understanding. just thought i'd give you a courtesy call.
Had this issue when on a TW ROM, switched over to an AOSP ROM (LiquidSmooth) and no issues with that anymore. For what it's worth, AOSP ROMs rock ;]
I used to use cleanrom and had the same problem with and without juice defender. Id rather not change roms again im pretty happy with this rom and kernal.
Is auto retrieve checked?

I have a similar issue, just noticed it recently with CleanROM 6R2. It does not seem to happen with the stock ROM, as both my wife and I have S3's, hers stock. We are both using Verizon Messages for our texting, and we both have the settings so that integrated messaging is enabled to sync with the web and tablets we have
If I have WIFI enabled and I receive a group message, when I try to respond my *send* will fail. If I turn off WIFI, the MMS group message will send without issue. I've tried this with both Verizon Messages and Handcent, and both suffer the same issue. So it is something at a lower level than the application.
I'm temped to try a rooted stock of the latest ROM to see if the problem goes away.
EDIT: just noticed your PS, looks like we are in the same boat...

Yep, checked those options in both messaging apps.
Glad someone is having the same symptoms as me, hopefully we can figure this out.
I did use the stock rom with root for a few days when I first got the phone and I dont remember having any issues.
Wondering if anybody else is having any problems sending SMS. Sometimes they send perfect and other times they take a minute then they say message not sent. Usually they resend perfectly fine. I have tried different ROMs and I have the same results. I have tried to use the stock messaging app as well as Hangouts and they both give me the same result. Have also tried removing the SIM card and they worked fine for about a week then they started to randomly not send. Not sure what the issue is and would love others feedback for a solution. Thanks
I have the same issue. I've had it across multiple roms. Good to know I'm not the only one.

I got the same problem to, I figured it's because I live in a area with bad signal but I usually have at least one bar which should be enough to send a text, I guess it's not only a problem with my phone then. I've been using a new messaging app that seems to help a lot here's a link if either of you want to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144
Its been plaguing me too, with hangouts. Driving me crazy
You r saying regular text don't send or mms? I know if your MMS limit is set higher then 1200 it will not sent. SMS I'm clueless tho 1st I have heard of this
I too am having the same issues, stock, un-rooted and using message+, stock app and hangouts.
Also, I have been sending and receiving the same message multiple times. My message wont send, then i'll delete it, resend it, and the recipient gets it 2-3 times. Or out of no where I'll receive the same massage 3-5 times...
I had hoped rooting and a custom rom would be the answer but I guess not :crying:

I have never had this issue never. Maybe phone issue.
I have this issue with sending pics (MMS). Text works fine but the MMS is not as smooth as the old iphone. Got to admit iphone ranks supreme when it comes to messaging. Wish there was a way is flash imessage onto our M8s.

Is your MMS size limit set about 1200 or no?

I dont know why, but using textra really seemed to help, i had the same problem as you until i switched to textra and it really helped
Try Disabling Google Voice+
What finally fixed it for me was disabling Voice+ (Which allows apps to send SMS through Google Voice).
Messages were automatically switching to my GV number. When I disconnected the GV account, I couldn't send any SMS at all. I could still receive, though, which led me to GV+.
It was driving me absolutely insane.

Just activated my Mate 9 in the US a few hours ago on AT&T. Seems like calls and texts are being sent/received fine. However, when I start a new text, start typing a contact that is in my Contacts (that I synced to the phone via Google), the contact comes up, but when I select it I get an error message: "Invalid Recipient <(732) 283-0192)> He or she will not receive the message", without the quotes. Not sure if it's related, but I am also not seeing all recipients on group texts that I confirmed had multiple recipients that are in my Contacts.
Any ideas?
It's a bug in the SMS messaging stock app. Try installing another like Google Messenger and it'll work

Oh okay, thanks! I actually just installed Chomp SMS and it seems like it's working there, but maybe I'll check out Google Messenger too. Is it better, in your opinion?

Damn. I just imported like 6 years of texts that I keep transferring from phone to phone with SMS Backup into Chomp. I guess I have to do it again to get them into Textra now =(

I had the same error on my Mate 8 (on att) when i moved to one of the international roms, it was always the number format that caused issue on mine. Ended up downloading an app to make all phone numbers the standard US format
country code. use the number 1 first. it should work

Supposedly it's a bug in the stock SMS app. I'm using Chomp now and no issues. And there's no way I'm changing the country code in every one of my Contacts LOL!

I know this is late but is this a known bug in all international versions? Or is it just the way the stock app is programmed in all international versions. My brother has this and it works with country code added but is a hassle and wants to know if he should get an exchange or if it'll be the same with the new one.
Another vote for Textra...I'm still using a Mate8, textra is perfect.

Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting any text on my U12+. I've seen one other case on androidCentral forums but not much of any results. Figure i would chime in and see if anyone else figured this out.
I had this issue as well. I had to go to a Verizon store and get a new sim card, which he activated in my old HTC 10 then put into the U12+. After that the tech suspended my sms service then reactivated and I was good to go. The only issue I have is that I can not receive MMS messages from any 3rd party app, so I am stuck using the stock one.
Call Verizon -- spent 3 minutes with a level 1 technician who re-provisioned the phone for sms & mms. All is working as expected (although the stock messaging system wouldn't send GIFs, but I downloaded Textra and it works fine).

Soooooooo, it turns out there's an MMS bug with Textra which hasn't been fixed yet. I tried all the suggested steps (clean install, change MMS behavior, modify APN settings, etc) and MMS doesn't work with Textra. I emailed the developers and we'll see what happens.
I then downloaded Pulse and everything works as expected with that app. Not sure about any other third party messaging apps right now.

I emailed textra support over the weekend and after running through all the settings, they had me install android messages and that did not work with MMS as well. I tried with a few other 3rd party apps and they came to the conclusion that it is an android Oreo bug and they can't do anything to fix it.
Thanks everyone! I will try the steps mentioned above and report back.
Interestingly enough mms receive works for me on Verizon messages and the default htc text app. It does not work (just receiving pics) in Textra or Android messages. This feels like an OS side issue? I was on the phone with tier 2 support when I first got it and they reprovisioned twice. Then said just use the apps that work lol

Hey Guys I have something similar I have a ticket opened with tier 2 but my problem is that I can't get incoming text messages. I can send from the stock app but just no incoming... I factory reset twice, reset network settings twice but still same problem. Also tried the android messages app and Verizon app.

That's what my issue is. Can send but not receive. Haven't called yet. I'm going to in just a bit. Will report back.
Just got off the phone with Level 2 support. He tried reprogramming the sim card but that didn't work.
BUT he dug deep and did what he called a "CDMA list feature activation"
and then my text and mms started coming through in android messages. also voicemail. apparently that was also affected.
Hope that helps everybody. call support and let them know about this. skip the guess work.

Have you tried using a 3rd part app for texting like Textra to see if it works? I can only use the default stock app but called to see if this would fix anything on my end. Level 2 support told me that the CDMA list feature was already activated and they could not remove it from my account as it was active.

All I use is Android messager and occasionally switch to the stock messenger to send higher quality picture messages. So far everything I've done on Android messager is working.

Textra developer suggested turning off MMS Auto Retrieve in stock messaging app, rebooting, and trying to do MMS with Textra again. It didn't work for me, but can't hurt you to try it with android messenger. Even with Textra MMS timeout issues, Pulse is working perfectly for me. Maybe give that app a shot? YMMV ... just throwing out some ideas for you.

Just tried it, no go as well. Funny thing is, i froze the stock messages with titanium as well, but it thawed itself on reboot. I'll give Pulse a try, does it compress images sent?
