So out of nowhere, without changing any settings or touching anything on my phone, I cant recieve replies to group texts I send.
I noticed about 2 weeks ago I started getting "Textra cannot retrieve MMS" and it went from there....
Here is what I tried
1) Checked APN settings, updated to official Straight Talk ones- still cant recieve
2) I can send regular pics and recieve them just fine, it is only with group texts
3) changed from Textra to a few other apps, issue persists.
4) verfied the people I am sending group texts to are recieving my texts, but I am simply not getting their replies
No idea where to go from here but very frustrated as I have missed out on a few important texts because of this

Forgive me if this has been discussed before; I searched but didn't find anything. I'm using an HTC Fuze, no major changes like a different ROM or anything. After I tried to send an MMS (two pictures in one message) to a contact, it failed to send for whatever reason. The problem that after attempting to send that message, I looked in the conversation thread for that contact, and all of our prior texts (a few thousand) had been seemingly eradicated, except for the failed MMS that I had just tried to send. Looking in my Sent box, all of my texts to that contact are still there, but neither my sent texts nor my received texts from that contact appear in the conversation in my Inbox.
However, if I turn off threaded SMS via Advanced Config, all texts from that contact appear in my Inbox. When I turn threaded SMS back on, they're gone again. I know they're on the phone, but I can't get them to come back to the threaded conversation! I've deleted the failed MMS that caused all of this, but that hasn't seemed to make a difference. Does anyone have a fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bump......
Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?
I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA running Android 2.3
just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?
i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol
I don't know why my phone is so wacked out...but now I can not send Pics in Text Messages. It trys to send but just gets stuck on "sending". Any suggestions?
Maybe try toggling your data connection off/on. Or, sent out a regular SMS. Sometimes that will help push em thru. I've had issues sometimes where they'll hang like that until I receive a text, then they push thru, but only on certain ROMs.
Hope this helps at all.
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
I had the same problem before, then I learned that my data had to be on in order to send or receive messages through text messages. I'm not sure if this is because of my carrier or if that's just how it is.
Won't work over Wifi, which seems kind of silly.
You need to have the data on to send MMS (picture messages) the carriers do not generally count that against the data you use.
Anyone else experiencing this? Group MMS texts (no pictures) sent out with Hangouts show up on the recipient's phones (N4 and Moto X) as blank pictures. Replies come in just fine for me. I tested out a different messaging app (Textra) and group MMS worked as expected.
I've tried this on two different N5's, both with the ATT Phone APN, and with the same results.
This seems to work fine when sending to iPhones.
I have a different problem with group MMS on hangouts. I start a group with two Iphones using my Nexus 4, and it sends the message as an MMS, but their replies come to me as individual messages. When one of them tried starting a group, his group message came as an individual SMS to me.
I have the same problem as OP. Extremely irritating.
Bump.. This is still happening even with 4.1.1
:/ AT&T ..
My phone stopped sending texts. I installed Google voice and uninstalled it. I'm not sure if that's related to it. I can still get SMS and MMS tho.
sent from my One and only
I just got my replacement phone today and have been setting it up. Just noticed my SMS messages arent sending but I can receive messages and have LTE data. Cant seem to fix. Any ideas?
Iliketoys I'd check your APN settings
