[Q] SMS / MMS Issue.... - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if its just me but I am running CM11S (28R) rooted. If I send an SMS to more than one recipient (as I nearly always do), it keeps converting to MMS and then fails to send. I am in the UK and on the Three network (if that makes any difference).

Check your APN settings are correct.

Thanks, I phoned 3 UK and they were next to useless. Still not letting me send to more than one person as a txt. Keeps converting to MMS, which I get charged for. The guy I spoke to in Mumbai, said "that is just how it is". Surly I can get around this?????

Could anyone please post up their APN settings if they are on Three. I am not having any luck sending MMS messages and I can't get any joy from searching the net or contacting Three......

You could use a different messaging app, like Slide Messaging, you can turn off the feature that converts group messages to mms.

Sending videos

I had recorded a video on my phone and when I went to send it, it said it was too large and I tried to send it as a MMS and the same thing occur. How can I send videos without it saying it's too large?

If you are trying to send as a MMS / Text message it will always error out that its too large, MMS is only capable of sending 600KB (its a carrier limit) You can upload directly to youtube, qik or send via email. Bluetooth is an option as well.
I tried to send it as an email and it said the same thing

You must be using the HTC Sense email client then, try the gmail app
Also make sure that when you go into the video camera you set the video quality to MMS. This limits the size so that you can send it via MMS.

[APP] Blist - stop any unwanted call or text right away in a snap

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lovetere.blist
Stop any unwanted call or text right away in a snap!
BLIST is the app to block all voice calls and texts* from a black-list of numbers you choose (including private numbers). In addition, you can mute any notification from these numbers and delete them from your call log. For your privacy, you can hide BLIST itself from your launcher. You will set a secret number to be dialed** and access to the app.
All BLIST activities can be monitored in its activity log or through the notification center.
* received texts will be charged by your carrier, if applicable with your plan, even if blocked by BLIST
** it is not a phone call, no cost associated to this number!
If you find a malfunction please do not leave one star, the app is still a beta ... report problems and suggestions to the developer, it will surely be very welcome!

although the message doesn't appear in the the default messaging app, sms popup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup is able to intercept the messages from blacklisted contacts listed in Blist.

Stock Message App Pop-up

In the settings for the stock message app, it says you can turn on a setting to make messages pop up on any screen. I enabled this but it doesn't seem to work. Am I not understanding what this is supposed to do?
Basically, I'm looking for the same pop-up when a new text arrives like with Go SMS or Handcent. I would use Go SMS but every time you wipe, you need to re-pay for the theme you purchase.
I use something simple.. Textra. Never use the stock messaging app, there is always something about it.

I agree with textra. My wife and I both love it and it does what you are asking

Or if you prefer the stock app download heads up notifications and it will do this for you.

The stock app does exactly what you're talking about...

It works for me no problem, in the stock app. It looks like this.
It will pop up notify if you are not in the texting app. Same with dialer. If someone calls it pops up in a similar way. Very handy for when you are in the middle of something.

Help: Multiple SMS in same Thread

Hi,
I have this issue with Huawei 6 Plus default messaging app.
Some SMS i receive from different numbers appear in the same thread. For example i have some SMS from different Banks, they appear in one thread. Similarly i have SMS from different carriers, appear in one thread. This happens to only non-numbered SMS senders, like banks etc. Regular Contacts are fine. I Tried 3rd party apps, but still i get multiple sms in same threads
I am also facing same issue. Did you find any solution to it?

No. Not yet. Very annoying. Waiting for stable lollipop update and expecting to fix it

In your default messaging app, go to settings, then in general tab(the first tab), uncheck/turnoff the first option (Archive info messages).
Hope it helps. Good luck.
