Updated to the L preview and have had no problems besides the few apps that aren't optimized for ART. Noticed i wasn't getting MMS. Tried 3 different apps (Hangouts, Go SMS, and Hello). Followed the APN settings from a APN list (Can't post links yet) . No luck on that helping as well. Any info on a work around would be greatly appreciated. Not looking to go back to KitKat though.
Thanks in advance

i found out at least in my case that forcing the phone to 3G and disabling LTE lets me send and receive MMS sometimes, you can try that. Also try using Textra for Messages: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra&hl=en
Like others have mentioned, this has been all over the android L threads. I had the same issue when on it. I noticed I was able to send/receive MMS on Hangouts when not on wifi. However, it took a while to receive them sometimes.
Try Chomp.... It work perfect for me sending and receiving.

Was considering installing this. I use goSMS but it has become a major bloatware app.

I like it so far but am afraid I may have to give up on it until it matures a bit more. I am experiencing two problems with it. 1. MMS messages are not going through (I even entered all the manual settings for MMS APN as suggested by developer). 2. When I try to send a picture, it rotates the image 90 degrees counter clockwise. As soon as I can get MMS working on AT&T w/Galaxy s4 I will update this post.
Might note that it's not available on 2.3.6 GB.
Been using it for a few days now. Its fast and simple but still very much in its infancy. Very bland as a texting app but I see the potential of this app becoming great as long as it remains slim. Looking forward to when customization will be added.

go sms pro vs textra sms vs sliding messaging pro?
which is better at present

Textra is good its made by ChompSMS people.
I love Textra texting app and for the most part it has been great, but as of recent I have not been able to send MMS anymore. I can do so via Hangouts, but not through Textra anymore.
A simple word of advice for fellow Textra users. After you enter the MMS APN settings, reboot your phone and MMS will work again.
EDIT: When I first installed it, I couldn't get MMS to work same as you guys. So I uninstalled and went back to Hangouts. But I figured this was a long shot. I installed again, ran my APN settings in, and sent a MMS group text and it continually failed. I rebooted phone, and bam it resent successfully and all MMS afterwards went through.
This thing looks really nice. I just can't get it to work with receiving MMS for the life of me. Everything else works great. I feel like I've tried everything to get it to work to receive MMS. I even set it as a system application and uninstalled all other messaging apps to no avail. Anybody else use Invi and have it fully functioning?
-Gods
it sucks
Tried it for all of 2 mins after seeing your post and it just had a terrible layout and didn't seem like it would be practical for everyday use.

Text seems to work fine but no MMS will come through. I can open another sms app and the photos come through no problem. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Yep, same thing I see. I sent them an email about the bug. I'd like it to get fixed as well. It's the nicest looking texting app I've seen. For now I'm sticking with Sliding SMS until the MMS issue is resolved.

Hey everyone. I finally escaped Verizon because the OnePlus was the reason for me to change carriers. I switched over to atnt and well yeah, it's atnt. Anyways, whenever I sent a ams, they have a 160 character limit. After that, it will split up my messages into however many parts and send them. With verizon, if the message was over 160 characters, it would automatically send it as an MMS which does not have a limit.
I use hangouts for my sms, but also tried handcent and the regular messenger and no option was available. I'll receive all messages no matter the length as a MMS, but when I send them to non atnt users, it will split them up. Any mods or anything that can fix this? I've done a little research and have seen some other phones get that feature. Not sure if this is something already being worked on or something.
Currently running CM 11 33R
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm able to send pictures or a location or well anything without a problem and it sends the MMS correctly, just won't convert multiple SMS's to a MMS. One person suggested adding a subject title to any sms and that will automatically convert it to a MMS, except that option isn't available in messaging or hangouts.
Try few different sms apps from play store and play with settings. I have nexus 5 and I can change settings in the app, I downloaded from Nexus 5 apps forum, its an old cm 4.2 app I believe

Any specific apps in mind? Or any other ways around it you can think of? I prefer to use hangouts but I'm aware that I probably can't use it to fix my problem.
Textra or qksms should have it

Thank you for the suggestions. Tried Textra and it didn't work. It only gives an option to split long SMS messages. Tried the MMS messaging options as well and that didn't work either. Cannot find qksms in the play store though.

So tried QKSms and it still doesn't work. It literally has the options that I was looking for, either split a sms into multiple parts or convert a sms into a mms after x amount of parts and you can choose x. I tried doing 2-4 and neither worked. Took some screen shots I'm happy to share if interested. I've tried with different people on every other carrier as well. Any other ideas? Could it be my service in general?
Hello all,
For starters, some preliminaries:
ROM: ViperRom 3.2.1
Firmware: Latest (4.4.4)
Kernel, radios: Stock
Has anyone been having trouble with group MMS beyond the Hangouts app? The Hangouts app works like silk when it comes to group MMS - I can send/receive to all my friends (regardless of whether they have a smartphone or cell phone), it can play GIFs within the thread and it doesn't deliver messages at the wrong time (a 5:09pm message gets delivered before a 5:06 pm message). The problem with Hangouts is that it is slow and has odd kinks that drive me insane (when you send a message it doesn't show it unless you exit and reenter the message thread, three second delay to display contact when searching for number). The glaring issue is that it is an app that I simply do not use for it's native purpose - which is to create Hangouts and not use SMS. Nobody I know uses Hangouts, so I only use it for SMS.
I have tried literally every SMS app there is - Handcent, GOSMS, 8SMS, Hello, Textra, ChompSMS, Evolve SMS, Messaging (stock KitKat modified), HTC Messaging.
These apps all have a consistent problem - I cannot communicate with my cell phone friends in group chats. They receive blank messages and cannot read my replies. I've tried modifiying my APN but I am unable to create a new profile in Settings>Networks>APN. This is honestly strange to me because Hangouts works so flawlessly compared to all these other apps. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Verizon Message+ ? That is what I am using and works well for me. I'm usually not a fan of Verizon Software, but the messaging app has a lot of options and doesn't seam to lag.

I tried that app. Super clunky, definitely looking for a better alternative.
Interesting.
I have been running Viper also ( until yesterday actually).
I have been using Handcent and group messaging seems to work fine. At least no one has told me otherwise.
I do notice, with Handcent that from time to time SMS/mms messages seem to get hung up for quite a few minutes( see the spinning wheel next to message). I always though that was a network issue. You have me thinking otherwise now..
I have never tried hangouts for SMS. I might give it a whirl.

Super clunky, okay. That's one way to describe it. lol. But did it work for group messaging? Have you tried a different rom? Viper is an international rom that has changes made for Verizon to work. Maybe there is a setting or library missing from Viper. Have you asked in that thread to see if anyone else has the same issues on Verizon?

I used CleanRom before this...really have no interest in switching ROMs but I see what you mean about it being international. I always had used Hangouts without compliant but it took a serious speed hit when it got updated/I updated to Viper
Tried many of them and constantly been sticking with Textra.

+1 on Textra. I had group messaging problems too until this app. There is an option under settings to use MMS for group messaging. I think it's off by default. Try switching it on and see how it goes. It fixed my probs, particularly when texting to/from iDevices.

UPDATE: Some of the issues I have were actually due to me disabling animations in Developer Settings. Once I re-enabled animations, the issues with Hangouts "hanging" at the second to last message, rather then displaying my newly sent message, went away. The app also seems much smoother on the whole. I guess that disabling animations is a bigger detriment than benefit when it comes to Hangouts.
I still have the same group MMS issues in apps other than Hangout (people with basic feature phones only receive blank lines, rather than text). Hangouts remains the only texting app that works flawlessly with group MMS. It's a shame, because Textra is such a beautiful app.
Hi there, I have looked at this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3518328) but doesn't seem to provide a resolution. I thought I'd repost with my issue.
I am on T-Mobile and have the Honor 8 FRD-L14 US 64gb version. I prefer using Google Messenger for Texting and MMS but am having issues with MMS. I checked APN settings (tried various settings found online, restored original settings, etc). When I send or receive MMS messages using Google Messenger, I get the whole Downloading...then error downloading. When I switch to the default stock Honor Messaging App, it works with no issue.
Has anyone else successfully get the MMS working with Google Messenger?
Thanks
Same problem on AT&T with ATT-approved APNs with Android 7 on the L04.
