Samsung Galaxy S7 on Verizon - MMS won't work. Period. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I got the Galaxy S7 just over a week ago. MMS and picture text haven't worked from day one. Two days later I got Root. Still doesn't work. Went through every setting on every thread I could find. Flashed patches and fixes. Nothing. Tried multiple messaging apps, still get the same error "Invalid Destination Address". If it does accept a picture on a text, it shifts it to Group Conversations, but I can't send one. Period. I performed a full wipe and flashed a custom Rom. Still nothing. Has anyone found a real fix for this or is this a complete failure on Samsung's part? Thanks.

Did you receive and install your two configuration texts from your carrier?
If not, give them a shout and ask them to send you then, sounds like the settings just aren't in place
Might be able to do it from their site, some let you send the settings to your phone

I didn't receive anything from Verizon. I can't remember having to do that before. I was the last customer of the night when I left, my whole set up felt rushed and the phone didn't show service until the next morning. I know the APN settings aren't right. I'll again and see if I can get someone.
Thanks!!!

You could try setting it up manually too if you prefer

Thank you for both replies, when I called tech support and asked about this directly, they discovered my phone had not been properly activated, the woman had it fixed in two minutes. This was the problem. Thank you again!

sms errors

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, but the past few days my texts have not been able to be sent. I get some SMS error and some code number. It never happened until a few days ago when it started happening probably about once a day. I had been on bamf a few days before it started, flashed the new bamf to see if that fixed it and I'm still getting the errors. It only happens when I hit send.
Anyone else experience this or know whats the deal with it?
I had this issue. I think its mainly network issues still going on. What I did was flashed back to stock radio and ran a different rom. Fixed it right up. But yes its a known issue.

Yeah Had Same Thing Happen To Me. Running Bamf Stripped V.1.1
My Thunderbolt just started doing this around 7AM this morning. I could receive text messages but when I tried to reply I got SMS Error Cause Code: 97 Error Class: 2
This happened to me before when I had a Droid Eris. No one could figure out what was wrong...Verizon sent me a new (refurb) phone - but the same thing happened. Eventually they had to send my case to Engineering before it was fixed. (which was approx. two weeks)
Not only have I lost SMS/MMS, just about 10 minutes ago I no longer have network access...
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
I did a battery pull, didn't help.
I also flashed back to stock from VirusROM. No changes...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I had this issue on Friday and Saturday but seems to have resolved itself yesterday (for me).
I've been having this issue for weeks now, but only on 3 contacts. Only way I can send messages to those 3 contacts is by sending messages directly to them, if I reply via the message thread then it fails. It's been driving me nuts.
I'm having this issue as well, sms code 105, error class 2. And it's only with 1 contact, happens once in a while with others but not too often. this 1 contact though it fails 100% of the time. Along with that my 3g will just randomly drop and it will say "no data connectivity", and I then have to cycle back to 3g. It's a big time PITA, thats for sure. Does anyone know if this is a network issue, or is it a phone radio issue?
I've noticed it has something to do with your facebook sync. If I have my favorite widget for a couple contacts set to text it automatically puts a +1 in front if the number and sms fails. If I go into the contact card it doesn't show the +1 though. Another thing I've noticed is if your in the actual message thread, hit menu, select more, and it should list recipients phone number as on option. I can select the one without the +1 but it won't default. Been having these problems on and off for about a month now with no solid fix....

[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

I've been having issues with missing contacts since getting the hox. I'm familiar with the way contacts and android and gmail work, i've had an android phone since Nexus One era.
Anyway my problem is missing contacts. I added a contact yesterday, saved it. Used it this morning, this afternoon it was gone. Today i added a phone number and pic to a contact i've had over a year and now the contact is missing from my contact list. his name and pic is on my call log, i can access the contact from there, and edit it, but its nowhere to be found under the regular contact list. if needed to cal him after he was wiped from my call log i wouldn't be able to find him.
Any ideas? TIA
I have had this problem as well, it's annoying as ****... Also, one time I sent a msg to "bob" then it said I sent it to "dan" then "dan" replied. Then I tried again sending to "bob" and It said I sent it to "dan" but the first msgs weren't there. Then "dan" replied... But it was actually bob this time. Then I force closed the SMS app. Then went back and it showed my 2nd attempt with "bob"s reply. But the first attempt was sent to the wrong person....
Those are two of my only 3 complaints about the phone. The third is that the stock messaging app, the mms size limit is 600k
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love it to death

What more do you need? Devs just started doing it like this... Just gonna get better everyday!

[Q] Galaxy S3 Messaging Help

I've got a Galaxy S3 here and for some reason when I try to send texts that are longer than one message and the phone has to send two out, it just won't send.
I just sits there with "sending" and then tells me that it failed to send.
I have to end up splitting the message up into 2 messages and send them separately.
I'm on Sprint and using the AOKP ROM.
Any help would be appreciated, because I have no ****ing clue what's going on.
I've tried researching my problem on Google but no one seems to have the same problem as me.

i believe it has something to do with the stock sms becuase this happened to me yesterday while sending a picture..also just check on your signal and if it happenes again try rebooting your phone ..i honestly dont know how else to help
Have you seen the options inside the stock messaging app?
There would/should/could be an option in there which would auto split messages longer than 160chars...
Check whether that's enabled...
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
Nope, no settings involving the 160 characters thing.
Are there any apps that I can download that can replace the stock Messaging app?
Might that work?

You could try...
Go sms or maybe handcent...
The custom cm7 rom that I use, has the option...I think that's where your problem is...

Can you manage a logcat?
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
I think handcent is probably the best alternative.
Also, see if that is listed as a bug in your ROM .

[Q] Display issue: bottom third ghosted with repeating lines

Received the phone yesterday afternoon and everything was great for the first three hours. After updating to the latest version and reinstalling apps from Play, the screen flickered and started ghosting a line of pixels stretched vertically over the bottom third of the screen (images and video below). It doesn't appears to be a hardware issue as the ghosting moves with animations, but it does appear during boot as well. I've factory reset without any difference, and have flashed the current firmware images (cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot) without any luck.
Booting
Notification drawer
App drawer
Video
Any ideas?
EDIT: I didn't have my brightness all the way up; the issue persists during transistions.
Sorry about that, you can try RMA. If it's also in Fastboot mode, you have two options: a) Write OnePlusOne and ask for repair(tooks long!!) b) Buy another phone.
You should try a custom kernel. As the stock kernel for 33r doesn't have the display commits that custom kernels have. I recommend Franco kernel. If the problem persists, then I'm afraid you'll have to RMA.
It is surely hardware.

mine too.....
Got mine 5 days ago and was in the middle of a game last night and the exact same thing is happening..... I put in a request for an RMA already but the whole process takes about a month from what i have read.... Didn't see a similar issue in a search of their forums but it is interesting that our phones came from the same batch likely and have the same issue....grrr

So I am debating filing a paypal claim. Reading the reports of the RMA process on their forum I am wondering if I will get a functioning device within the paypal buyer's protection timeframe. After several emails and pointless software fix attempts back and forth I finally got their support person to say they would forward me to an RMA specialist... but who knows how long that will take and given time frames I think it is very likely the 45 days will run out on 10/5/14 before I receive a replacement device. Any luck on your end?

Moved thread please delete this. Ty

Moving thread .... don't believe its a sprint issue
I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. They screwed up and let us keep our old phones and did a discount for the hassle. I figure I don't need 2 S8's so I would just sell it. Welcome to my nightmare.....
So I factory reset the phone to get all my data off, I did this through the settings menu. No issues the phone reset. It was at the beginning new phone screen so I just left it and placed the phone on craigslist.
I get a buyer and we meet at the store. The lady who works at sprint and was going to verify the phone was not stolen starts the phone and asks me for the password..........huh?....
The phone is at a password screen and I have maybe 5 at most that I use various combos of, none of these work. She brings it over to the "techs" there are they say they have never seen this. I then apologize the the man who wanted to buy the phone and proceed home. I do some searching online and find out how to get into certain menus and do resets, and re-flash the stock rom. Even after those it wants a password.
I then think I'll just use find my phone with good and unlock it. Well it is a sprint phone and I have T-Mobile now so it has no connection, and I can't get past the password to get to the wifi settings. So google says it can't find my phone.
I contact Samsung and since it’s been less than a year they say they will help. I send in the phone and they send me it back with the crack on the back of the phone fixed and nothing else. I called and they said they have record of me asking for help with a password problem. I then ask if I can send it back and get that taken care of and they said it would cost 150$ because they fixed the phone......huh?
I really just want this password off the phone. At this point it’s a matter of I am more curious about finding a way to get it off the phone than selling it. I’m also open to all ideas. Taking it apart, flashing something third party on it.
If you need pictures I will get them up shortly. Or a video. At work currently, so I can probably reply in a timely manner. If you need more info please ask and I’ll try and get whatever you need
Thanks in advance
