according to google Hangouts is going to support SMS & MMS

I got the new apk. Using it for about 1 hr now and all is great!

Now make a black background option. All that white is blinding.

Edit: receiving works too. Just sent myself a pic. And I got it.

Same here. MMS works flawlessly.

Should I clear cache & data from Hangouts and uninstall via Play Store then install this? Thanks

Everything works for me except when I try to initiate a video call and then things go bad where it seems to hang on connecting and I can only close the app by rebooting.

MMS on official LP

so looks like VZW has left out or over looked (not like they didnt take their time on this update) to include the required MmsService.apk
Without this some, if not a lot of third party SMS apps will not send MMS, Google's hangout and Google's messenger app for example.
By installing this, flash it, extract it, or just install the APK. (if you dont have root this is the only way) This WILL fix the issue

How did u install it, are you on vzw, and try just installing it normally like any other app.
That's how I did it and sends and receives without issue

This is almost PSA worthy....
I bet VZW issues a small OTA to fix this...

I am using it on Tmo - Installed it as an APK and tried sending MMS with Hangouts, native HTC app and Textra all with no success

Previews do not work for the stock HTC app. No notification card or even a preview in the status bar like on KK with HTC one.

Believe me...I do too, however with the stock sms app if a group message come in, clicking the notification take you to the individual sms thread for the person that sent the text, not the group chat, which in of itself was enough to drive me crazy.

From my understanding LP on vzw took away the ability to edit the apns which I would imagine you had to change to get all the tmo stuff working.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk 2

Oddly enough I had to set up nothing on 4.4.4, it just worked once I have it on HSPA mode instead of LTE/CDMA

I'm stock and rooted while my wife's is stock. We both upgraded to Lollipop and was/is using Textra before the upgrade and continue to use it without an issue. I've sent and received MMS without hiccups.
Are we odd ones out or is there some bug that I'm not experiencing and could possibly find a fix on my phone to share with everyone?

Now HTC has to update phone and message app for heads up notifications!! [emoji84]

Have you noticed when in a group message?

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

It does work well. It's a shame I can only activate it with the stylus because my case won't let my finger get close enough to the edge. But it does work.

Wow that really useful, I hope they add more functionality for apps etc

It works. I couldn't handle the persistent bar being there no matter what app I had open. It's an eyesore when watching videos or playing games. Wish there was a blacklist option.

Stock sms is awful.
Sent from my Blackberry Bold

Hate this problem....
Have been grappling with this problem... In the end I gave up and started using Textra - this created 2 new annoyances:
1 - It doesn't appear on the always on display as a little envelope icon/badge notification when you have texts waiting
2 - You can't quickly get to a contact within the App and use the direct dial feature by lifting the phone to your head.
However Textra is amazing and it's other features have kept it as my default choice for now.

Use Renovate rom. @mwilky took the time to figure it out and it works sweet. Only one who has. And it's a great rom

If you use lightflow for LED control, the screen will still come on even with texta. Or any third party sms app for that matter.
