Delivery reports? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Unless I'm overlooking the setting, I don't see an option to enable delivery reports.

For SMS? If it doesn't have it just use a different client. Google Messenger (for SMS) does.

In the stock messaging app it's under More, Settings, More settings, Text messages.

Delivery report
The problem I'm having is that my delivery report works sometime. I can be texting someone and the delivery receipt pops up, once I leave the message and go to the web browser and come back to the message and continue texting the delivery receipt stops working. Anyone know what the problem might be? I'm also texting to another Samsung device.

Use a different messaging app. Textra sent/delivered reports work perfectly.

no delivery reports WM6.1 TREO...

Hi,
i set requesting delivery reports for smss... but nothing returns me when message is delivered... is it normal ... ?
thx
I have the same thing.
Must be a bug with the Palm SMS app that does not make it play nice with my provider. I have found a tedious workaround. When I install Samans SMSDRFIX (do a search) then I do receive delivery reports. However, I receive them TWICE. Plus the popup message. Very annoying. As soon as I uninstall it, no more delivery receipts.
Weird huh.

I thinh I have solved that, palm messaging can't use normal delivery reports, if I enable them in registry, nothing changes but, if I have in settings of palm meddaging to request reports then in outbox folder, when you click on your sent message you will see, delivery report requested or that time when message was delivered not so happy solution but works... if you want normal messaging it looks like we have to use rom without palm messaging only with normal WM Inbox....

Hangouts does not support Short Codes

I was stunned to discover this morning that the DEFAULT messaging app cannot send SMS to Short Codes. I'd have to say I'm more than a little shocked that our texting app is missing core functionality.
I've already submitted a topic on Google's Product forum.
I just realized this myself and probably looked ridiculous standing in front of a short code and not being able to figure it out...

are you sure it's hangout's problem? what's your carrier?
I can send short code without problem.
Well i feel dumb... you just need to scroll past all the G+ bs and contacts to get to the send sms option... it shouldnt be all the way at the bottom but whatever...
I have no problems sending to and receiving from short codes using Hangouts. Don't know why anyone else would have this problem. The first time I received one, it prompted to possibly incur charged from my Service Provider, but past that it acts just fine.

On T-Mobile I got that same popup, and it says that the messages have been sent, but I do not receive any response back from the short code. Like the local radio station here is 48258. Usually you get a auto response saying thank you for txting blah blah blah. With hangouts I do not get that response.

Yeah, see - I don't get that problem. I can properly respond and receive a response back and so on. I'm on AT&T - don't see why that would be carrier specific.

Not sure, i have been much to lazy to download a 3rd party sms app to test it to see if its actually hangouts or carrier having issues. Might give it a try tonight and report back.
I always stored those few short codes like #225# or #932# in the Phonebook & dial from there. It's a Pop-up showing the info onscreen but not saved to as incoming SMS, unlike traditional non-smart phone like the old LG or Sony. Hangout is on the MMS path and that should explain the reasons for not being able to use it.
I just did a test from couple different SMS apps and none of them get a reply from 5 digit numbers. Also my google voice number is not getting a response, so I have no idea if it is working or not.

Recieve SMS delivery reports on Lollipop

Hello.
I have just updated to Lollipop, but I'm having trouble recieving SMS delivery reports.
I have installed Chomp and Messenger, but when I send an SMS I never recieve a delivery report, even though I have the option checked in both apps.
Is there a setting I am missing in Lollipop to enable this to work?
Thanks
You might need to enable delivery reports in SMS in the Hangouts app.
Thanks for your reply. I've ticked enable delivery reports in Hangouts, but still no reports.
What used to happened when I sent a SMS was a box would come up. no matter what screen I was in to say it had been delivered. This doesn't seem to be appearing.

SMS App and/or Settings that work with Sprint Visual Voicemail

I am now running CM12.1 on my Photon Q. I successfully installed and provisioned Sprint-VVM-M.apk (version T.7.0.0.16)
When I get a Voicmail, an SMS message shows up in my messaging app from (650)603-0000. Here is an example of one I dialed in from google voice on my laptop:
[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. To listen call 650-603-0000 or click http://smsvoice.sprint.com/iv.do?d5ee6b9fbb3
Click to expand...

Calling 6506030000 results in a busy signal. Clicking on the link, opens Firefox at the mentioned URL. There is a box with a play icon. When I click it, the page refreshes, but I hear nothing in my phone. There is a SmithMicro Software logo and copyright message at the bottom of the screen.
The message does not show up in the VVM inbox. I found this thread on the Sprint community forums regarding this issue.

... you are using a third party text messaging program which is intercepting the notification to the Voicemail app before it can hide it ...
If you are using a third party text messaging app (GoSMS, ChompSMS, etc), depending on the application many of them will have an option that needs to be adjusted to correct this. If you are using one, let me know and I can see if I can locate that setting for you. Alternatively, if you do search on here or Google, you can likely find someone with the same app and same issue and how they fixed it.

Evidently these messages are supposed to be handed off from the SMS app to the Visual Voicemail app. The original poster was using GoSMS. They could not figure out how to change the settings mentioned above; so, he opted to switch to Google Voice.
I had been using SMS + MMS Messages from SMS & Messages Studios from the play store. I uninstalled it and am now using the default messaging app in CM 12.1.
Does anyone have a clue what settings JPSquared might have been referring to?
Will the default SMS in CM 12.1 let me change that?
If not is anyone using an sms app that successfully hands off messages from 650-603-0000 to the VVM app? Could you tell me the SMS app and version and the VVM app version you are using that work together?
Postscript notes & thoughts:
In the default SMS app, I can set a specific ringtone for the 6506030000 conversation
... but, if I delete the conversation rather than individual notifications in it, it reverts to default for the next message
In my SMS, I also see messages from 9016. These appear to be meant to turn on / off the message waiting indicator. I assume these should also be passed to the VVM app. VVM should set my light to blue if this works, but are no such luck.
When I have a voicemail waiting, I get a message to 9016 with "MWI Notif turnOn" in it. When the voicemail box is empty, I get one to 9016 that says "MWI Notif turnOff".
Any Smart SMS App That Could Change the LED Color?

I could live without the Visual Voicemail app downloading my voicemail at all, if I could find a way to get my messaging app to set my phone's LED to a specific color based on those messages to 9016!
Anyone know of one that can?
Could it be MIUI whatever that is??
possible clue from this thread
saint01 said:
Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

gosms may work
thread
It turns out GoSMS was the culprit that was breaking my Visual Voicemail and causing me to receive the 9016 voicemail texts.
Apparently if you go into settings for GOSMS>>then Advanced>>the Receive Settings, there is an option for "Disable other Message notification".
With that option checked, it will actually disable all other SMS services and that will mess up the visual voicemail because I guess that receives a form of text message that tells it you have a voicemail and to go and get it.
Once I unchecked this option, and rebooted my phone, I began to get all my missing voicemails. So for anyone else who is having this issue, I hope this clarifies.

The current version of Go SMS Pro that installs is 7.10
The menu has changed (of course, lol)
I do not see ""Disable other Message notification"" under any of the settings menu items...
rebooting erasing vvm data
re-provisioning
no message from 9016! hmm. darn i have to go to work more later!
system permissions?
I have a theory of why this is happening
sms messages are stored in system partition -- need higher privileges to read
vvm gets installed to data partition
Probably Have to Change Phone Company
I could write a program in Python to turn the light on when a text message is received, but C, Java, etc. are out of my league.
To replace voice mail with Google Voice, your carrier must support Conditional Call Forwarding. Red Pocket -- my current carrier does not. Yesterday, I contacted many of the Sprint mvno's listed here before I found one that supports that feature.
I am looking at changing to Pix Mobile, because they do support it. Very frustrating to have to change carriers when there is such a simple work-around to make the Message Waiting Indicator light tell you that you have a voicemail.

No SMS/MMS on Verizon

*SOLVED* (See my post #11)
Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting any text on my U12+. I've seen one other case on androidCentral forums but not much of any results. Figure i would chime in and see if anyone else figured this out.
I had this issue as well. I had to go to a Verizon store and get a new sim card, which he activated in my old HTC 10 then put into the U12+. After that the tech suspended my sms service then reactivated and I was good to go. The only issue I have is that I can not receive MMS messages from any 3rd party app, so I am stuck using the stock one.
Call Verizon -- spent 3 minutes with a level 1 technician who re-provisioned the phone for sms & mms. All is working as expected (although the stock messaging system wouldn't send GIFs, but I downloaded Textra and it works fine).

Soooooooo, it turns out there's an MMS bug with Textra which hasn't been fixed yet. I tried all the suggested steps (clean install, change MMS behavior, modify APN settings, etc) and MMS doesn't work with Textra. I emailed the developers and we'll see what happens.
I then downloaded Pulse and everything works as expected with that app. Not sure about any other third party messaging apps right now.

I emailed textra support over the weekend and after running through all the settings, they had me install android messages and that did not work with MMS as well. I tried with a few other 3rd party apps and they came to the conclusion that it is an android Oreo bug and they can't do anything to fix it.
Thanks everyone! I will try the steps mentioned above and report back.
Interestingly enough mms receive works for me on Verizon messages and the default htc text app. It does not work (just receiving pics) in Textra or Android messages. This feels like an OS side issue? I was on the phone with tier 2 support when I first got it and they reprovisioned twice. Then said just use the apps that work lol

Hey Guys I have something similar I have a ticket opened with tier 2 but my problem is that I can't get incoming text messages. I can send from the stock app but just no incoming... I factory reset twice, reset network settings twice but still same problem. Also tried the android messages app and Verizon app.

That's what my issue is. Can send but not receive. Haven't called yet. I'm going to in just a bit. Will report back.
Just got off the phone with Level 2 support. He tried reprogramming the sim card but that didn't work.
BUT he dug deep and did what he called a "CDMA list feature activation"
and then my text and mms started coming through in android messages. also voicemail. apparently that was also affected.
Hope that helps everybody. call support and let them know about this. skip the guess work.

Have you tried using a 3rd part app for texting like Textra to see if it works? I can only use the default stock app but called to see if this would fix anything on my end. Level 2 support told me that the CDMA list feature was already activated and they could not remove it from my account as it was active.

All I use is Android messager and occasionally switch to the stock messenger to send higher quality picture messages. So far everything I've done on Android messager is working.

Textra developer suggested turning off MMS Auto Retrieve in stock messaging app, rebooting, and trying to do MMS with Textra again. It didn't work for me, but can't hurt you to try it with android messenger. Even with Textra MMS timeout issues, Pulse is working perfectly for me. Maybe give that app a shot? YMMV ... just throwing out some ideas for you.

Just tried it, no go as well. Funny thing is, i froze the stock messages with titanium as well, but it thawed itself on reboot. I'll give Pulse a try, does it compress images sent?
