Hello all-
Long time Lurker here.
I've been running Tweaked 3.2 since it was released, with the Lazarus Recharged (1/9) Kernel. I hadn't had any issues until I realized that Google Voice has stopped forwarding texts to the messaging app. The settings are set up to do it, it just isn't working.
I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with this, or had any solutions. I've already re-installed the app, and that did nothing. I'd love to get it working because we use this for group messages at work, and the message forwarding is working on everyone elses phones (non are Droid Charge though)
Just tested it before this post on my charge. Works fine. stock & rooted.
Still Charged Up
Check your account on the Google Voice website and look at the settings. The forwarding actually has nothing to so with the app... The app just has a way to set it in you account options. Toy can always set it up on the website too.

I did try toggling the setting both on the phone and on the website with no luck. Also tried a third party messaging app (handcent) just in case that was the issue.
Still no luck...

Using a note 5 with 6.0.1 and mms over wifi just doesn't work.
Looking for a good texting/SMS app that allows mms over wifi to work consistently. Currently use Google messenger but I find that mms are sent or recieved very consistently when I'm connected to wifi. Any suggestions?
Don't want to use what's app or something where the other person needs it as well.
Thanks in advance.
A quick Google search shows that the app Textra has this option. It's a popular texting app.
Your carrier ahs to support MMS over Wi-Fi too I believe.
I've tried the different settings here https://apn.gishan.net/settings/1654_40_project_fi_apn_settings_for_huawei_mate_9.php
I've tried different messaging apps, Textra is my main messaging app however Signal and the stock Messaging app on the phone show the MMS messages that won't download where as Textra doesn't show anything but the notification saying failure to download.
I have the Project Fi app installed and made sure to give it every permission I can within the app settings menu and it gives me the T077 error which I expected since the Mate 9 is not a "supported" phone but I have good T Mobile service in my area. I've tried changing all the different MMS settings in Textra, tried changing APN's in the phone settings, making sure everything was on IPv4 instead of 6 and I know my cell data works with the phone, it's JUST MMS not working for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas or fixed this yet? Would rooting help in any way? This is a really nice phone coming from a Project Fi Nexus 6P and I don't want to return it because I can't get MMS to work, but the fact that it's not working is a deal breaker.
Edit: I ordered another SIM and a Data Only SIM from Project Fi to test out in the event I can't fix it within some settings.

Not sure if this will help or not. I am on Cricket Wireless and Textra is the only app I can download MMS. I had to go to settings/MMS/ and change MMS behavior to "Legacy". It fixed it for me. Hope that helps.
So, with today's announcement that Android Messages had a Web client, I wanted to give it a try.
Except testing it, mms wouldn't send or receive.
So, what gives? Any fix?

What service provider? Maybe check your apn.

I have checked my apn. Everything else is fine.
I think it s a Xiaomi phone issue. Guess I just won't buy anymore.
Were you even able to use android messages? I restored all of my SMS, yet Android Messages still displays zero threads.

Yeah , it didn't restore my threads. Didn't bother me much because I can start new.
Regular texting works fine.
It's just MMS.
I was advised before I ever bought the phone that this is a Xiaomi issue. I'm not sure why, but so far using the stock app hasn't bothered me. I'd like the added functionality of group messages and the web client, however not at the expense of MMS.
I usually have issues with Xiaomi devices and 3rd Party SMS apps, however android messages works fine for me. I'm on T-mobile in the US. MMS working fine both ways. I did have to manually input my phone number because it couldn't read it from the SIM though in Android Messages < Settings < Advanced < Phone Number

Did you add the country code to your phone number as well? Going to try this. It's annoying that Android messages seems to pull from a separate database than MIUI Messenger, but it's even more annoying how MIUI messenger handles group conversations.
Also did you edit any of your APN Settings? I can't seem to get it to work.

My SMS database is the same as the stock MIUI message app right now. Maybe you should uninstall and reinstall? I did actually add the country code intially but it seems to remove it automatically. But yes group messaging is the only reason I switched apps too. It's such a basic feature, I can't believe they haven't implemented it yet

That's odd. I used SMS Backup and restore, and the messages showed in the MIUI app, but not Android. Now when I try to send MMS in the Android App it immediately fails. Did you update your APN settings manually? Or was it just the cell phone number?

My messages were copied over from my old phone when I used the NFC touch to set them up. I didn't know that was going to happen but I'm totally ok with it, however I have the same issue in that they show up fine in MIUI Messages but not Android Messages. I also confirmed my phone number is present in Android Messages and tried to send an MMS but it still failed. I'm on Verizon with a Global 6/64 version of the phone on the latest MIUI 9 update.

I think the difference is I've owned a Xiaomi device and my SMS was restored by their cloud process. I've also used textra and the SMS shows up there for me as well so maybe that's it. But I did adjust the APN, but I just had to select the correct one from the list, I didn't have to manually edit anything.
I haven't been able to get Android Messages to send MMS, but if i switch to MIUI messages it works, and it also works in Pulse SMS. I blame the android messages app. I had trouble with it in the past on a previous phone too. For now i'm sticking with Pulse

I couldn't get Pulse to work either. I wasn't receiving group messages at all. Only Textra has worked for me so far.
Messages is working fully for me on global miui 10 beta. It can see SMS restores by 3rd party backup and MMS is working perfectly too.

I can't wait for my bootloader to get unlocked so I can upgrade. 12 more days...smh
I cracked my Mi Mix 2s screen so bought a Mi 8 to try something different. Same issue. However.... Just today I got an update notification for the latest Miui 9 Global stable rom. And guess what MMS and Android messages are working now!!!!! Guessing it will be the same result on the Mi Mix 2s. I'm running MIUI Global 9.6.7 (OEAMIFD)
If you want to use third party app like Textra or pulse to send mms you juste have to allow "display over other apps" for that particular app in the privacy settings of your xiaomi phone
Have been using Textra as a messaging app for years. With new Pixel 4a I discovered I was not receiving all messages sent from others to me using Textra. Out of curiosity I enabled google's messaging app and suddenly all of my messages came through. Can anyone enlighten me as to why this might be?
I personally don't care for google's philosophy and don't want a "Chat" app. Just want to send and receive messages with occasional pix like I have been doing for years.
When you installed Textra, Android should have prompted you if you want textra to be your new default sms/text messaging app. If not, try uninstalling it and re-enable google messaging, then reinstall textra.
If that still doesn't work then maybe this might...
I think google's built-in messaging has it's "chat" features enabled by default, which I think configure your cell companies network for it in a particular way ("Advanced messaging mode").
So, after uninstalling textra and re-enabling google's messaging, try to then go into google's messaging app settings and disable all "chat" features - so what you are trying to do it configure it as a "simple" text messaging app, which would then tell your cell phone companies network to switch to "simple" mode.
So, now when you install textra and replace google's messaging app, your network will then hopefully work 100% with textra in the "simple" mode.
I think what might be happening is that when your originally replaced google's app with textra, textra didn't know how to reconfigure your cell phone companies network back to the "simple" mode.

Thanks John. I did as you suggested including multiple reboots while uninstalling and reinstalling, and it now seems to work as I want it to.
Thanks for your assistance.
If anyone is still having issues with not receiving text messages on time, I suggest going to Settings>System>Advanced>Reset Options>Reset WiFi, mobile, & Bluetooth. Follow through to completion with on-screen commands and this may do the trick to settling your texting issues with the Pixel 4a.
