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.

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.

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. JUST SHARING
XDA user Koush has found a solution to using google voice with any messaging app. Here are the steps to take
Beta 2: Google Voice through any messaging app
0) Google Voice must be installed with notifications enabled (for now).
1) Install a recent +CyanogenMod nightly. July 1st or later. You need the SMS middleware patches I put in for PushSMS. (see Gerrit)
2) Push this apk to /system/app: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/babel-2-signed.apk adb install will not work. The app requires system/signature permissions.
4) Start Babel, choose your Google Voice account. Authorize it.
Fixed since original release:
* Registers with AccessibilityService automatically.
* SMS sent via GV website, etc now sync to the stock messaging store.
* If you're running a +CyanogenMod build from last night, the duplicate GV notifications will be cleared.

What are the chances of getting this to work without using a CM ROM? I use a TW-based ROM on my Galaxy Note 2, and since I am on Sprint, I have completed the Google Voice integration. I sometimes reply to texts using the web interface from my PC, and I'd love to be able to sync my conversations so they appear on my phone as well. I would also love to be able to use Textra or a similar messaging app instead of the boring official Google Voice app. However, since GV doesn't support MMS, could it work so that MMS is sent using the carrier messaging infrastructure?

TBH, im not sure. sorry
Voice+ Delayed & Multiple same messages
Anyone having Voice+ delay your messages? Sometimes text messages will come through right away, but most of the time it will take several hours or a reboot to get the messages to retrieve. When it does retrieve them, my phone blows up with messages because I get each message about 4 times. I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this. It's been hard to find any info since I've been unable to find anyone talking about issues with it.

This does happen to me as well. I haven't found any way to reproduce the issue on demand; it seems completely random whether I receive the messages right away or if there's a delay.
Me too. Today I tried emptying my Google Voice inbox, clearing data for the Google Voice, Voice +, Messaging apps.
Still have problems having messages delivered properly.
I am on the 10/9 nightly 10.2 build.

It started doing this for me as well. I've noticed that I receive messages only if I send one out, and also everything I receive is double. I do get it only once on Google Voice.. If I'm looking at my phone when I receive a text, I see the Google Voice notification, and it never makes it over to the SMS app, until I send an SMS out, then I see the messages.
Same here. Also, sometimes txts will not send from stock (stuck at "sending"), but messages sent from GV app go out instantly.

I'm running Vanir and it appears to be working fine. The only problem is SMS received appears to be coming from a random phone # and not the number it was sent to me from. Anyone else?

Me too. Sucks very hard. Anyone have a fix or reference to a tracking thread??
If any of you have not tried Mightytext, you should give it a look. It allows you to send text messages via your computer through your phone.
I use Contacts+ for texting and dialing on my phone. For some reason ever since I got my One, I've been receiving duplicate messages for most texts coming in. I never had this problem on my Galaxy S4. I tried deleting Contacts and that solved the duplication problem but I wasn't happy with that solution, I'd rather have Contacts+ that the stock messaging app.
I went into Titanium Backup and tried freezing the messaging app but that didn't work. I also saw something called "Message Provider 1.0.660928" I froze that and the duplication problem stopped. Does anyone know what that app is and do I need it?
Thank you

Having a strange problem since yesterday. Been using GoSMS Pro for ages, together with its emoticon package. Yesterday I wanted to send a message with only one emoticon. I started writing the SMS and put the emoticon, then pressed back to do something else on the phone, so the message ended up in Drafts. Since then, the messaging app is stuck. The app starts fine and I can read all texts and see the draft message with the emoticon, but I cannot write or send new messages, nor receive them. When someone send a SMS to my phone, the delivery notification says it has been receiced by my phone. The button for creating a new message in the stock app is greyed out, and so are the text input area, send and attach buttons. The delete button also is greyed out, hence I cannot delete any messages, including the draft message with the emoticon. I tried this both on the stock app and GoSMS app with the same result. I am not allowed to set default SMS app either.
I run Titanium Backup every night, so I have a backup of previous text messages. Tried restoring the data to no avail. Uninstalled all GoSMS apps. Deleted cache and data of the messaging app. Connected the phone to MyPhone Explorer via PC. When I try to delete the draft message, it says I have to make MyPhone Explorer default message app which the phone won't let me do. Still same problem.
My "setup":
Samsung Galaxy S4
Latest stock ROM for NEE, 4.4.2
Rooted and Philz Touch
Xposed
Please help if you can! Thanks.
Hi there,
I recently got the new Android messenger app after upgrading my phone to L
I prefer it to hangouts, but I can't receive MMS.
The important thing is - if I use hangouts, I can receive them without issue on hangouts. So I don't think it's my APN settings that are the issue (I'm on Straight Talk)
Is anyone else having this problem?
Tried unchecking auto retrieve MMS, but it just freezes on 'downloading' and the MMS never shows up.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Ah right - I tried doing that but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions though.
I think part of the issue is Messaging has no options for MMS, whereas in Hangouts you can select a different APN.
I can't see any option for this in the messaging app.
I'm having the same issue. I've got android L on the lg g3
MMS works perfectly fine for me in the Messenger app. Both sending and recieving.
I'm also on straight talk and MMS worked fine in hangouts. Since installing messenger it won't receive. Just sits hanging on the downloading screen.
I would love to start using messenger as I feel it handles SMS just slightly better, but can't do without the MMS and group texting features. Will wait for update.
No problems here either, and I'm in an edge area.
I've encountered the same problem. Tried multiple ROMs to be sure; same problem existed. Messaging lets me receive them, but not Messenger. I have to change my default SMS app every time I want to download a MMS message. Sending MMS works, strangely enough.
Same here....when I receive a MMS , the app seems to freeze , I can't send any sms during the "downloading" time
Doesn't work
I always hated Hangouts so i downloaded SMS app now i tried downloading messenger and it will not download MMS messages. I am on Straight Talk and have a Nexus 5.
Thanks
Pic shows my issue and when i hit "Tap" it said download but will not. HELP!!!!!
What I did (I found this somewhere online), go and delete all the APN settings except the one you use. Reboot and viola. MMS on AT&T Straight Talk worked for me in Google Messenger!
I just got this phone a few days and ago and it's working great except for one issue. I use apps like MightyText/Pushbullet/MySMS to send texts from my PC. These apps all worked fine on my last phone but not on the Honor 6X. I verified that the messages go out and the other person receives the text I send (and all of the apps say that the message has been sent), but the outgoing message does not show up in the conversation thread in my messages app. I've looked in both the stock app as well as my preferred app (Textra) but they aren't there.
At first I thought it was an issue with MySMS (my primary remote SMS app) but I installed and tried MightyText and Pushbullet as well, and all of them send the message successfully but none have the outgoing SMS show up, so I'm thinking this is an issue with phone. Not sure if it has anything to do with it being a dual Sim.
Does anyone know what's going on?
FWIW, I've kinda solved my own problem. Looks like messages will only show up as sent messages if they are sent through the default SMS application. I set MySMS to be the default SMS app and now outgoing messages are showing up. This isn't ideal because I prefer Textra, but I found an SMS app called Pulse that does the same thing and I like the SMS app more than MySMS. It's cheaper than the other options too. It's not a perfect solution but it will work for now.
Still not sure why this is an issue with the Honor 6X and not my last phone (Moto G4 Plus)
