Updated to the L preview and have had no problems besides the few apps that aren't optimized for ART. Noticed i wasn't getting MMS. Tried 3 different apps (Hangouts, Go SMS, and Hello). Followed the APN settings from a APN list (Can't post links yet) . No luck on that helping as well. Any info on a work around would be greatly appreciated. Not looking to go back to KitKat though.
Thanks in advance

i found out at least in my case that forcing the phone to 3G and disabling LTE lets me send and receive MMS sometimes, you can try that. Also try using Textra for Messages: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra&hl=en
Like others have mentioned, this has been all over the android L threads. I had the same issue when on it. I noticed I was able to send/receive MMS on Hangouts when not on wifi. However, it took a while to receive them sometimes.
Try Chomp.... It work perfect for me sending and receiving.

Had anyone installed the new messenger yet? It works for me except when I try to attach a picture... messenger FC's. Anyone have success with it yet?
its on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
I have been using it as my daily text about for about a week now and it works flawless.
Works for me very well. You should check your settings or try to delete your cache or something. Did you set it as your default sms/mms app?
I deleted the version I got from the forums and installed the play store version and all problems went away.
Anyone having problems receiving long texts or pictures with Messenger?
I Like it but...
I used messenger for a little bit, but for my personal preference I prefer to have my messenger and hangout integrated into one. That's the reason I was stoked when hangouts came out with SMS integrated. Other than that it is an amazing app.
I can receive pictures and group texts with 5.0 messenger but I cannot receive regular text! I've been working on this for a while, any help is appreciated!
Hello all,
For starters, some preliminaries:
ROM: ViperRom 3.2.1
Firmware: Latest (4.4.4)
Kernel, radios: Stock
Has anyone been having trouble with group MMS beyond the Hangouts app? The Hangouts app works like silk when it comes to group MMS - I can send/receive to all my friends (regardless of whether they have a smartphone or cell phone), it can play GIFs within the thread and it doesn't deliver messages at the wrong time (a 5:09pm message gets delivered before a 5:06 pm message). The problem with Hangouts is that it is slow and has odd kinks that drive me insane (when you send a message it doesn't show it unless you exit and reenter the message thread, three second delay to display contact when searching for number). The glaring issue is that it is an app that I simply do not use for it's native purpose - which is to create Hangouts and not use SMS. Nobody I know uses Hangouts, so I only use it for SMS.
I have tried literally every SMS app there is - Handcent, GOSMS, 8SMS, Hello, Textra, ChompSMS, Evolve SMS, Messaging (stock KitKat modified), HTC Messaging.
These apps all have a consistent problem - I cannot communicate with my cell phone friends in group chats. They receive blank messages and cannot read my replies. I've tried modifiying my APN but I am unable to create a new profile in Settings>Networks>APN. This is honestly strange to me because Hangouts works so flawlessly compared to all these other apps. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Verizon Message+ ? That is what I am using and works well for me. I'm usually not a fan of Verizon Software, but the messaging app has a lot of options and doesn't seam to lag.

I tried that app. Super clunky, definitely looking for a better alternative.
Interesting.
I have been running Viper also ( until yesterday actually).
I have been using Handcent and group messaging seems to work fine. At least no one has told me otherwise.
I do notice, with Handcent that from time to time SMS/mms messages seem to get hung up for quite a few minutes( see the spinning wheel next to message). I always though that was a network issue. You have me thinking otherwise now..
I have never tried hangouts for SMS. I might give it a whirl.

Super clunky, okay. That's one way to describe it. lol. But did it work for group messaging? Have you tried a different rom? Viper is an international rom that has changes made for Verizon to work. Maybe there is a setting or library missing from Viper. Have you asked in that thread to see if anyone else has the same issues on Verizon?

I used CleanRom before this...really have no interest in switching ROMs but I see what you mean about it being international. I always had used Hangouts without compliant but it took a serious speed hit when it got updated/I updated to Viper
Tried many of them and constantly been sticking with Textra.

+1 on Textra. I had group messaging problems too until this app. There is an option under settings to use MMS for group messaging. I think it's off by default. Try switching it on and see how it goes. It fixed my probs, particularly when texting to/from iDevices.

Does textra have gif support in the message threads?

UPDATE: Some of the issues I have were actually due to me disabling animations in Developer Settings. Once I re-enabled animations, the issues with Hangouts "hanging" at the second to last message, rather then displaying my newly sent message, went away. The app also seems much smoother on the whole. I guess that disabling animations is a bigger detriment than benefit when it comes to Hangouts.
I still have the same group MMS issues in apps other than Hangout (people with basic feature phones only receive blank lines, rather than text). Hangouts remains the only texting app that works flawlessly with group MMS. It's a shame, because Textra is such a beautiful app.
Hi!
I just downloaded Textra. I have no problems sending SMS, but I have problems with MMS. Every time I send a MMS, I get a reply with the message:
"One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I have set the Send Size Limit for photos to 300KB. APN Settings is correct, as when I use the Samsung SMS app, it works.
Is it some setting I need to do? I am not sure if the Textra app is automatically resizing the photos?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, running on Android version 4.4.4
Will appreciate if anyone has any solution to this? I am not a mobile user in USA but in Singapore
Thanks!
I think it's a compatibility problem on android 4.4.4.
You should notify to the deverlopers.
Hi
Huawei Stock MMS app works flawlessly on my L29 mate 8
However, willing to get a more customizable app I have been trying many third partie's apps (GO SMS, Easy SMS, Zero, Material Messaging, and more recently Mood messenger.
Most of them worked on Mate 7 (Lollipop) but on Mate 8 I haven´t been able to send and/or receive MMS with all others. Each app has its own apn configuration settings but, as i told before, they worked with same apn providers on other phones.
I would like to hear from your experiences and get some advices
many Thanks
