Do you use google voice? It's better with emojis than it used to be, but still not the best, could be the cause of your problem, I know it is mine.
yeah i do use google voice. I've tried sending SMS over 3G and 4G using google voice and my carrier in the hangouts app with no luck. I think it must have something to do with antenna in our phone or something because it sends fine over wifi
I know it's a pain, but try disabling voice, or just have the voicemail part used. Not through the app, but on your computer, like completely disable voice and try that way. From what I know, it can't handle the emojis and they generally get turned into an mms in order to send. try it out and see if that's really your problem or not.
Ahhhhh thank you so much I can finally send them. Sprint integration with google voice was the problem. Once disabled it worked fine

Sweet, that was my issue too, too bad it had to come down to using emojis, or texting over wifi and from computers and stuff. It's a tough one for me.

I think you can use google and keep your number. I remember I set it up but didn't want to pay to use my original number or something like that. I can't remember.
Okay thanks man I shall take a look into that I'm trying anything anyone offers that whatsapp never sends me a confirmation text so it doesn't work:/

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.
I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.
Gosms is nice..
*Kingpin... get it?*
I use mysms. I can use it from the PC, tablet and phone, and it syncs the message throughout all my devices. Its also free from the market.
google voice does this... works great

This is what I use on my Kindle Fire, and it works alright. Not sure if it has a notification alert.
Has anyone else had trouble sending or receiving pic messages or anything else attachable to texts. When I get a message it'll have a download button but will never download. Regular texts work fine though. Solutions?

Also I have noticed that if I am on wifi, it's not an issue. But if I am on 3g (no lte here yet) the mms will not download at all.

That's because of the nature of the issue, i.e. the settings in the phone are borked when trying to route through Sprint's network. Read the thread linked above and the reason should evident for you
I did do that method, fixed the domain name, and still have the issue if I am not on wifi.

Same for me, I called Sprint and got my code, changed the profile name and had the guy refresh the profile. I started my phone up again and it still doesnt work over the 3G. Im going to try one of the other SMS apps and see if it works then. Ill let you know how it goes.
I got the Handcent sms app from the app store and I can now receive picture messages. It does work, its a nice way to work around the Photon Q's problem.

Hello everyone.I'm wondering what everybody is using for SMS/MMS on their WiFi Notes? I would appreciate feedback as to what you are using and what features you like about it.Thanks
I would guess they use their phones?
I use mighty text. Works well. I switch between that and Google voice. Mighty text works best unless you are on Google voice then it's a toss up. No mms through Google voice but it syncs everything better than mighty text.

If you are guessing that, you have no idea what I am talking about. There are several apps that connect phone to tablet for this or use your phone number to sms thru email on the tab.Move on to your next extremely helpful post somewhere else.
I'm using tablet talk. I like it a lot it's really good but it's not free.
It syncs all your messages to your tablet. It uses WiFi and Bluetooth for it to work.
You can receive calls.
Perfect Combo!

Google voice to handle my Voice Mail and text messages. GrooVe IP to run my phone calls.
Works like a charm.

Well since in many countries it's illegal to spoof sender number I would say that any app that can do that is potentially a way to get your criminal record tainted. And know of at least two providers that do not deliver from spoofed sender numbers.

Haha nice try to cover your own ridiculousness. It's not a spoof number, Google voice and mighty text use your own number? Are you going to say it's illegal to send texts through those services on a Web browser as well?

That is your providers SMSC you use and that is not at spoof. But if I send a message via my SMSC with your number as a sender that it's spoofing and illegal here. I can do that since I have my own SMSC and my contract clearly states that that it's grounds for termination and most likely a report to the authorities.

I use textfree. Can't send mms with it but can receive. Just wish the number they give had my area code.
I'm using Tablet Talk and it is brilliant. I was using Mighty Text, and was wary of whether TT would be worth the £1.79, and it totally was. I'm glad I took rhe plunge.

I used to have the exact same problem.... once I started using Google Hangouts it fixed everything.
I had the same problem when using my LG G2. But, I sometimes was not able to receive MMS's from Android AND iPhone users. It got very frustrating. I am always in full, or near full LTE, or on a stable WiFi connection. The only, temporary, solution was to use another messaging app. I tried a handful, got sick of that, so just used Hangouts as my default. That fixed the problem!... For a couple of weeks, then I would get the same "broken" image thumbnail where the picture or text that the MMS was supposed to be.
Now that I'm on my G3, I noticed this problem was even more serious. Still in the AT&T store, I received an MMS, and was not able to download it. They exchanged it with another G3. Got home, same problem. It's a complete hit or miss, being sent to me from and Android or iPhone, I receive about 80% of the incoming MMS's, and the rest I will ask the person to send it to my email, or use whatsapp if that's an available option.
I have called and emailed about the problem and I've only gotten the responses that you think a "technical level 2" employee would give.
Waaaaaaaahhhhh. :crying::crying:
I had this same thing happen from an iPhone user (she was probably using verizon). My wife's iphone sent me an image a few minutes later and it worked fine. She is on ATT. So i wonder if it's a network problem.

Saw this on another thread and thought i would toss it here, it basically says that sometimes Ad block can mess with some MMS possibly. Just tryinig to put all the information in one place...
Apple has admitted to delaying messages between Android and I phones in the past so it could be doing it again ("accidentally")
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2014/05/16/apple-imessage-android-lawsuit/
I just noticed when I was in a group message I could see when the others were typing and when they read my message? Does this only work when messaging others who have the note 5? That was the case but I can't find any options for this
I should mention that I did find settings for "chat" that would allow me to see the others typing and when they have read my message...but I had turned those off before noticing the typing message and had confirmed they were off after noticing.

It's a new implementation baked into Android devices on T-Mobile. The Note 5 and Edge Plus are 3rd and 4th ever to get it, I believe.

Basically, it's like iMessage for Android. If both phone users have the Advanced Messaging installed on their phones, they will be able to see when the other has read a text or is typing. It's going to be great to see when it is implemented on more devices.

To see the "is typing" while texting go to messages, more, settings, chat settings, turn on share typing indications also if you turn off read receipts than the other person won't see if you've read his messages or not but you can still see theirs if their settings are switched to on
You don't need to be in group text for this to work it seems to only be working with the newer phones, I just upgraded 3 phones 1 note and 2 edge plus' and we tested it out

Yes you will see when someone has read yours or if it's been delivered because they have their settings on, but they will not be able to see it on their end since your settings are checked to off
