I have been working on my own firmware based on the AT&T 1.61 firmware, and I have run into an interesting problem. When I access the messages application, what used to be a "Text Messages" inbox (in some of my older ROMs) has become a "Messages" inbox. However, I did not install or build Arcsoft MMS into my firmware. Even more interesting is that there is an option to create a new MMS, but when it is selected, nothing happens. Has anyone else run into this before or does anyone have any suggestions for me?
My unfounded guess is that the problem has something to do with some file in the OperatorPKG folder (I only have the mxip files and the AudioPara file).
Within the AT&T Rom you have a "Messages" Folder. This is for system Messages such as when you register OTA for Exchange/Blackberry service. It was always there in the folders, but it did NOT show up on the Account Selection page. Since the Text/MMS is woven into arcsoft you are left with only the System message account dubbed "Messages".
This is why you also at times will see posts about people saying HTC Home says they have messages, but Exchange/BBerry is empty.
So lately I've been having some annoying SMS/MMS issues that are starting to grind my gears and I'm starting to feel a bit of resentment over the phone.
I've been getting complaints of iPhone users receiving my SMS twice. I'm seeing that when this happens, I get a "message failed" error in other SMS apps other than the stock SMS app, and then it sends right away. This problem can be recreated on both the stock SMS app and Play Store apps.
I'm also getting this extremely annoying problem with MMS where I can't receive files bigger than 600 KB. I get the error "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal." This is happening on a message over 800 KB.
Has anyone experienced these issues? Is this carrier related? I refuse to believe that my phone will not receive 1 MB or bigger MMS messages, as I'm sure it's quite capable of doing.
Also, does anyone have the APN for HSPA+ without LTE? I'm thinking maybe the SMS problem has to do with the network I'm operating on. Please advise.
Edit: the MMS limitation is due to the stock SMS application. the limit for files received is 600 KB while other applications can download well over 1.2 MB. My problem is solved, I'll have to find another viable SMS application.

Hi,
Did you fix this issue with the recipient received your SMS 2 times?
I am using the stock app and never tried any Play Store app.
For me this happen to an Android Phone too.
Maybe your phone heard you were gonna take her back and now she's mad and is refusing to talk

My phone is send *and* receiving duplicate SMSes from iPhones. Very annoying.
Used to have problems
I used to have mms problems, but ever since i flashed the CleanRom 2.4 on my phone, everything has been peachy keen
coming from a heavily jailbroken iphone, I can say that I do love rooting a whole lot more. I love how android operates and is so similar to linux
OP, not sure which app you were using, but I know ChompSMS was producing the exact results you were reporting.
1) Multiple messages sent / SMS Failed etc. This will show up in both Chomp and the stock app. (FIXED by latest Chomp update!)
2) MMS Adaptation. I have found that this is specifically when iPhone users send you a screengrab of their display. Those are saved in .png instead of .jpg and do not share the same compression rate. Obviously you could just have a really big .jpg, but most likely it is the former.
3) General MMS issues. This will occur if you do not disable "Auto-retrieve" in the stock Messages app.
I know it's a week later, but hopefully this saves you a headache or trips to the AT&T store.
I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

Hi!
I just downloaded Textra. I have no problems sending SMS, but I have problems with MMS. Every time I send a MMS, I get a reply with the message:
"One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I have set the Send Size Limit for photos to 300KB. APN Settings is correct, as when I use the Samsung SMS app, it works.
Is it some setting I need to do? I am not sure if the Textra app is automatically resizing the photos?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, running on Android version 4.4.4
Will appreciate if anyone has any solution to this? I am not a mobile user in USA but in Singapore
Thanks!
I think it's a compatibility problem on android 4.4.4.
You should notify to the deverlopers.
When I try to send MMS from the recent photos, it fails. I have to go into the folder then send it and it goes through. Anyone have this issue? Also it depends where I downloaded the photo from. If it's from tumblr it fails.
Hey guys,
I know this might be an odd question but when I send images via Messages app, I cannot send the full size image via messaging. Is there a way to stop the compression feature?

I believe that the stock messages app uses MMS and the size are controlled by your carrier. the standard messaging app does not work like iMessage or other 3:rd party texts apps that use "internet" to send messages.
If im not totally off on my information most normal sms/mms have a locked size in kb of how big they can be.
So if you wanna send full size images I would suggest that you and the person you wanna send pics to use a 3:rd party app like Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Google Allo etc. they work Cross OSes, Windows, Android, MacOS, iOS.
Just got this phone a few days ago. First Samsung phone. I found the app would crash after sending mms messages. I finally just loaded Android Messages. Too bad. I hate having redundant apps.
