I can't get MMS on Hangouts. It just tells me that there is a new MMS message to downlaload. I try to download it and it will say "downloading" and eventually say "message not downloaded, click to retry". Sometimes it wont even say that and just be stuck "downloading ". When I use ChompSMS it will display MMS just fine. This started after the Voice integration. Happened to me when I was on 4.4, L developer preview, and now on the official 5.0 release. I was hoping it would be fixed once the official 5.0 was released but it still isn't. I want to use Hangouts because I can call the person straight from Hangouts, where in ChompSMS I can't do that. I'm on Sprint. This dorsnt just happen with messages from ios users. I've tried to update my profile and PRL. Please help! Thanks.

Every new MMS i get i get the message " subject new message" and its really annoying, especially with group chats. I downloaded and tried Textra and it didnt have it happen there. I also downloaded a modified version of the stock messaging app from android 4.3 and below and it has the same "subject new message" Any ideas?

Im on straight talk. It seems to be a problem with their new sim cards using the tfdata apn settings. Anyone else have this issue?
Hey up . Whenever I get sent a MMS on hangouts on my nexus 5 it takes an age to download or doesnt at all. I get a message saying: NEW MMS MEssage to Download : Size is 131 kb expires on 12/11/20:07 etc. Sometimes it seems to stop any SMS going through while the MMS is downloading. Anyone else have this problem/and a fix?
I have this same issue. When I use ChompSMS it will display MMS just fine but in Hangouts, it gives that message and I try to download it and it will say "downloading" but never actually download. Sometimes it will give me a download error after a long time. This happened after the Voice integration. Happened to me when I was on 4.4, L developer preview, and now on the official 5.0 release. I was hoping it would be fixed once the official 5.0 was released but it still isn't. Please help!

Hi there,
I recently got the new Android messenger app after upgrading my phone to L
I prefer it to hangouts, but I can't receive MMS.
The important thing is - if I use hangouts, I can receive them without issue on hangouts. So I don't think it's my APN settings that are the issue (I'm on Straight Talk)
Is anyone else having this problem?
Tried unchecking auto retrieve MMS, but it just freezes on 'downloading' and the MMS never shows up.
Thanks for any help you can offer

I have this isuue with all messing apps in kitkat cant confirm if i have in L. The fix i found was i couldnt start my phone on my home wifi. If i started it on LTE MMS worked.

Ah right - I tried doing that but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions though.
I think part of the issue is Messaging has no options for MMS, whereas in Hangouts you can select a different APN.
I can't see any option for this in the messaging app.
I'm having the same issue. I've got android L on the lg g3
MMS works perfectly fine for me in the Messenger app. Both sending and recieving.
I'm also on straight talk and MMS worked fine in hangouts. Since installing messenger it won't receive. Just sits hanging on the downloading screen.
I would love to start using messenger as I feel it handles SMS just slightly better, but can't do without the MMS and group texting features. Will wait for update.
No problems here either, and I'm in an edge area.
I've encountered the same problem. Tried multiple ROMs to be sure; same problem existed. Messaging lets me receive them, but not Messenger. I have to change my default SMS app every time I want to download a MMS message. Sending MMS works, strangely enough.
Same here....when I receive a MMS , the app seems to freeze , I can't send any sms during the "downloading" time
Doesn't work
I always hated Hangouts so i downloaded SMS app now i tried downloading messenger and it will not download MMS messages. I am on Straight Talk and have a Nexus 5.
Thanks
Pic shows my issue and when i hit "Tap" it said download but will not. HELP!!!!!
What I did (I found this somewhere online), go and delete all the APN settings except the one you use. Reboot and viola. MMS on AT&T Straight Talk worked for me in Google Messenger!
This morning I updated via OTA, it updated fine and everything was good, until I tried to send a text using the Google messenger app which is the default messenger app on 6.0, it doesn't send the message, it errors out and says message sending failed. I tried sending a text to the same number from textra and it sent fine, I am thinking that this is to do with Google messenger not being updated for the 3rd dev preview, dose anyone else have this issue? And does anyone have a clue how to fix it?
I'm on the dev preview 3rd build stock unrooted 16gb nexus 5
Messenger doesn't work for me either and Hangouts is making my texts disappear

It's a bug that has been reported. I guess the quick fix is to reboot into safe mode and send yourself a text. Haven't tried it myself yet since I've got it working again.
I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.
Yancy
Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?

Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
