Hey,
so I'm currently in Vietnam and group mms doesn't work out here. Is there a way to disable it? In the stock messaging app, if I sent a group message, it would just send a single sms to each person [which is what I want to happen], but in hangouts it tries to send an mms and it just gets stuck.

This is a generalised issue which all the users except USA (?) are facing. .
My group sms also get converted to MMS and that really pushes the bill high. Google needs to fix it. For the time being I am relying on third party app.
I can't seem to send MMS text messages on any app but the default Messaging texting app. On CM12 bacon, I can only send MMS with the default Messaging app, but if I use Google's Messenger or Hangouts, I can't send MMS and only SMS. I also experienced the same issue on JFLTEATT CM12. On the S4 CM12, I could only send MMS on the default Messaging app, but when I used a GPE rom, I could send MMS on any texting app.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone know if the CM Messaging app changes APNs so that it can send MMS, while the other texting apps down?
Hi guys
So I've had an odd problem for quite a long time now and I can't seem to find a fix.
So the first problem is that I can't send mms with the default message app but with the app Textra I can.. But it only works if I take the picture using the Textra app (if you press the camera in the Textra app the text area turns into the camera view so the picture is not as big as a picture taken by a normal camera app), if I try sending myself an mms it always works for some reason.
It's really bugging me I can't send pictures taken with the camera app, any help will be appreciated!
And BTW my provider is a Danish one named Bibob which uses Telenor's APN.
Thanks
Hapse
Seems that because I made this thread the problem have fixed itself..... I am so confused!
anyone?

BTW I am able to recieve mms perfectly fine, could this have to do with how many kb the image im trying to send is?
I use Google Messenger as my standard SMS/MMS client. This app doesn't work at all with MMS on Sim 1 on my Huawei Honor 8. I can see when a MMS message is received, but no able to download it. When trying to send MMS it doesn't go away.*
With stock messaging client everything is working.
Anyone more experience this?

have you set it up correctly with your carrier settings
I have now empty data & cache for both messenger and the stock message app, double checked the APN, rebooted phone, but no success. It is so strange that it working in the Huawei app, but not the Google one.
Is it working for others?

Stock message app is not compatible with Android wear 2.0. I obviously still use MMS, doh!
The question was about using Google messenger. Nothing else.

I don't have any issues with mine. I can send and receive no problem.
And to those who say "who is still using MMS", I prefer using MMS as I don't have to mess with any settings to send the original quality picture. For any of the data based messaging systems, the standard settings tend to compress the images to save data which causes a huge hit to quality on the photos.

Do you use dual Sim cards? I checked my colleges Honor 8 yesterday, he couldn't send or receive MMS from one of the sims either, while send or receive with the other sim works fine.

Ah that may be it then. I use a microsd card so I've never even had a chance to try dual SIM. It's also not uncommon for the second SIM slot to not use LTE networks, and I know my MMS APN is for LTE networks. Maybe try a standard APN when using the second SIM slot.

??? MMS compresses the photos far more than other messaging solutions. It has a 300 or 600KB size limit depending on operator, thus requiring substantial compression.
I don't use MMS because why would I pay 25p to send a lower-quality image? In the US, where MMS is usually not an extra per-message fee (like it is in most countries) it seems less awful, but low-quality and unreliable between carriers are still its big downsides.

Weird. I'm in Canada and I've sent MMS up to 1MB without compression. Whereas Hangouts and Whatsapp seem to default between 400-600kb. And I get free international SMS and MMS.

Interesting, perhaps there's more capabilities than I was aware of. MMS used to be 300KB and I know that was doubled on some networks, but have never heard of larger than that being possible.
Telegram sends uncompressed messages

No problem, I did a bit more Googleing. 300 KB is indeed the original size limit, but 600 KB wasn't a universal increase - some networks went to 1MB, some 1.2, some even larger. 300KB remains the size you can be sure-ish your recipient will get (if they get MMS at all, even in the US - I go back and forth - I have it disabled always).

Yes, I was referring to MMS, as this thread is about MMS. SMS is 160 8-bit characters.

You are awesome as you still have the phone .
And as for Google messenger part , have to tried to set the app as default one for all settings ?

Everytime I send a picture through MMS using the native messenger the image quality gets lowered and the images are grainy is there any way to change that?
There is a transfer limit per mms. With my provider, Vodafone Germany, it is at 300 kb. The sent pictures simply get compressed.
You can try to use a different sms messenger like QKSMS. It allows you to play around with this limit. But in my expierence I was refused to send a message when the limit was above 300 kb.
It is neither the fault of your sms app nor your phone. You can't do anything about it. Don't use mms. Get data plan an start using a messenger like threema or telegram or other alternatives to share your pictures. They usually provide options to control the quality of the sent and received content.
Some operators allow you to change the compression, usually in the client portal. Some don't. It's not a device limitation. Contact your operator and ask them.

Thanks for the answers I appreciate the help
It definitely is an app limitation on my Mate 9. Default Huawei messaging app always compresses the images horribly. I installed Textra and set MMS limit to 2000KB and images look far better. Shame the default messaging app doesn't have an option to change the limit.
