I wondered whether anyone else has seen this behaviour in the Stock SMS messaging app.
To set the scene I have a Vodafone Branded Sensation with the latest OTA applied.
When I create large text messages, so over 500 Characters which splits into 4 messages, I try and use a Google contact GROUP as the recipient. When I do this just before I click send I get the dreaded message "mms app has stop responding and needs to be forced closed".
I have no other option than to hit close, this then forces the app down and also doesn't save my mammoth message I just ticked in!!
Anybody else seen this happen, I swear it was working pre the OTA update!!??
EDIT: The same behaviour happens with Handcent SMS, which makes me think something more sinister is going on here!
Having some issues with the handcent popup reply, every time I respomd to a group text through the popup window it only sends the message as an sms to the previous person instead of as an mms to the group. However it works fine if I send the message through the thread.
Also wondering if there a way to hide the <subject: no subject> in front of every single mms message, I know this doesn't show up on my friend's htc one x on at&t using handcent.
Couldn't find this issue anywhere online, anyone know of a solution?
Every new MMS i get i get the message " subject new message" and its really annoying, especially with group chats. I downloaded and tried Textra and it didnt have it happen there. I also downloaded a modified version of the stock messaging app from android 4.3 and below and it has the same "subject new message" Any ideas?
I attached a screenshot of a picture i sent to myself just to show you

Im on straight talk. It seems to be a problem with their new sim cards using the tfdata apn settings. Anyone else have this issue?
Hey up . Whenever I get sent a MMS on hangouts on my nexus 5 it takes an age to download or doesnt at all. I get a message saying: NEW MMS MEssage to Download : Size is 131 kb expires on 12/11/20:07 etc. Sometimes it seems to stop any SMS going through while the MMS is downloading. Anyone else have this problem/and a fix?
I have this same issue. When I use ChompSMS it will display MMS just fine but in Hangouts, it gives that message and I try to download it and it will say "downloading" but never actually download. Sometimes it will give me a download error after a long time. This happened after the Voice integration. Happened to me when I was on 4.4, L developer preview, and now on the official 5.0 release. I was hoping it would be fixed once the official 5.0 was released but it still isn't. Please help! I want to use Hangouts because I can call the person straight from Hangouts, where in ChompSMS I can't do that.
I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.
Yancy
Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?

Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
