[Q] SMS Issues

Hi, I've had my rooted (bootloader still locked) AT&T One XL since early June and never really bothered with my SMS issues. I'm hoping for a solution now .__. Here are the issues I have:
1) Sending of multiple messages (this happens with the stock messaging app as well)
I saw that a few other people were having this issue too. For GO SMS, it's even worse because ppl get 3 of the same texts I send. I've tried various messaging apps but all of them result in multiple messages being sent.
2) Receiving multiple of the same messages (happens once in a while), noticed this on stock
3) White flash on the screen while using stock messaging app
Whenever I'm texting, a white flash will flash on the screen sometimes. Not really sure how to explain this one .__. I might be able to record a video of it
4) Sometimes I'll get delayed texts from my friend (I'm texting someone with TMO if that helps). The time stamp when my friend sent the text is always correct though so for example:
Me: bhalbha (1:09 AM)
Me: bahlbha????? (1:12 AM)
Person: jlsdfjsf (1:10 AM)
Person: jkldfs??? (1:13 AM)
Does anyone else have these problems/know a fix?

I FOUND IT. It says:
Service center
+13123149810
Seems like it's the correct one for AT&T

I'm having the same issues. Both the double or triple outgoing messages, and the delayed incomming messages. I checked my SMSC number and it's normal. I'm using the stock messaging app, and I'm on CleanROM 4.5.
Anyone have any idea what to try next?

[Q] SMS Scrambling?

Hi everyone,
I need some help and I'm just hoping someone on here experienced this before and found a fix. When sending long SMS messages the recipient sometimes receives the message jumbled/garbled/mixed up with another old text that has been sent to them weeks or months ago. So it usually has the first half of the message I send them as the correct text, and then the second half is "pasted in randomly" from an old message.
Hope that makes sense. I have T-Mobile service and I'm using a t999 variant of the galaxy s3 rooted and running a stock ROM.
It still happens even after deleting all my messages. It happens on both the stock messaging app and gosms, so it's not an app specific issue. It also happened before I rooted my phone and after. This same thing even happened on my previous phone, the HTC G2. Also, sometimes the old messages were sent on a previous handset (the G2) & with a previous SIM (same number but got a new microSIM with the S3), so no idea where it had got the old message text from.
Any ideas why this might be happening and what I could do to fix it? My current fix is using gosms and having it split up the messages every 160 characters so it doesn't have the chance to happen. Otherwise if I'm not using gosms I have to stop on my own and start a new text when I run out of characters. It works but gets very annoying.
Thanks for reading.

Its a known issue. Hopefully Google can do something about this very soon.

Hangouts problem. Not receiving messages.

I have a problem with Hangouts app. I just don't receive messages on my phone. When I text to a person he receives my message, but it doesn't work the other way around, when he texts me back nothing happens on my phone. And I do receive messages on my computer with Chrome Hangouts extention, problem exists only on my phone. Anyone experiencing similar problems?

I am having this problem too. Very annoying.

I have the exact issue on a Galaxy S (captivate). Makes the app utterly unusable. Running CyanogenMod 10.1. Hope this gets resolved :<

Same issue on my ATT HTC One using custom rom

Having same problem OK a gsm galaxy nexus...

Same here. In my case, I receive the message if I enter the app. This is not usable! I sent yesterday night a hangout to my brother asking why is he not using hangout with me, and today morning I have seen in desktop chrome hangout that he answered: "because you are not answering"

hangouts
Uninstall and reinstall fixed it fixed it for me. This was always an issue with Google plus too. These apps don't like being restored from backup

Did you disabled Google Play Services from sending data on the background? I had the same problem, changed that and Hangouts is working again.
Very annoying that Hangout and Google Play Services are using the same configuration.

Hangouts never worked for me... I dont receive messages or calls. I dont know why I have installed it

Group MMS not working (AT&T)?

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with MMS group messaging on my Nexus 5 using google hangouts. When i send a attempt to send a group MMS (text only), my phone simply sends individual SMS messages to each of the recipients. Similarly, if someone includes me in a group message, I receive it as an SMS coming only from the sender (can't see the other recipients).
This used to work flawlessly for me until about a month ago, and then it suddenly stopped working and i cannot figure out the cause.
Some other info that might be useful: I'm on AT&T, running CM11 nightlies, and am using the version of hangouts released yesterday (though it did not work on the previous version either). I have tried both the AT&T LTE (default) and AT&T Phone APNs and neither seem to work. I also tried using the stock MMS.apk and had the same results when trying to send group messages.
Any info on this issue would be very helpful, thanks!

Just wanted to add that a friend of mine who is also running hangouts on CM11 (although on verizon) has a check box for enabling group messaging in the hangouts SMS settings, and this option is absent from my phone

Just curious, did you try deleting hangouts and re-downloading the new apk? Maybe something got corrupted when flashing a CM11 update? Or possibly the gapps from that flash?

MMS issues using Google Messages on WiFi

Anyone else not able to send MMS messages or gifs when connected to WiFi using Google Messages?
I've been using Google Messages and Gboard forever on everyone I've owned but with the S8+, while connected to WiFi, messages just hang. Sent messages always say "sending" and messages sent to me show constantly as downloading. It's not until I toggle WiFi off that the messages come through.

Yea noticed this as well. Had to stick with stock messages.

Totally sucks. I spoke with at&t and they said they have communicated with their Samsung rep and it's a known issue.

I had a weird issue with Google Messages, when I'd send a screenshot to someone, they said it was perfectly clear. However when I was in the messages thread and clicked on the screenshot it came up very blurry. (Sprint version) The original screenshot in Gallery looked fine and it did on the device receiving the message. Kinda strange.

I use signal and haven't had any issues. You sure it's not google related?

I can't send or receive mms while on WiFi calling. Stock message app or Google s message app. Got a ticket in with t-mobile now. I've gone back to factory twice still not working.

I also have this issue. I can confirm as told by an AT&T rep on the phone that it's a known issue apparently . I was told they were looking into it, but no idea when an actual solution is coming.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Yea , all of us are in the same point. It's an issue with the phone not properly handing off the connection from WiFi to data in order to send the MMS message while you're connected to WiFi. We're all hearing from our carriers it's being investigated so let's hope a patch is due sometime soon?
