[Q] Group messenging with MMS? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Does the the stock text messaging app allow group conversations with MMS (as opposed to sending a single SMS to each recipient)?
The XZ Premium appears to be using Android Messages as the stock SMS/MMS app and that app doesn't allow group MMS on my Xperia XZ for some reason. The setting doesn't even show up in the app's settings.

I'm in the same situation and looking into it.

I hate it when people do this, but my solution is ALWAYS to install Textra. There are a lot of free options..

Appreciate the suggestion, may go that direction. Odd the stock application doesn't have it though...

Installed Textra. Yes, it's awesome and using it now. Thanks.

Stock text, phone, and sometime keyboard are many times useless. They only put them there out of necessity to make the phone work. They don't worry about the built in apps because they know many, if not most, users will replace them with something more to their liking from the play store, including a different launcher. I just wish they would allow us to DELETE the crap that we don't want that we will never use... disabling the stuff is not good enough. That is why I am looking to root.

Oreo has group message now.

It seems that group messaging got added to the stock app in an update at some point over the last few months. I didn't even realize as I've been using the excellent Textra messaging application. I don't have Oreo yet on my Premium from the UK (G8141).

It sounds like this isn't an issue anymore but just to clarify for you guys it's because of the firmware. I previously had the HK firmware, which had group messaging disabled in the android messages app (the option didn't appear). I flashed the CE1 firmware and group messaging options appeared in the android messages menu. Right now I know that the US,CE1, and FR firmware all have group messaging.

The only issue I've for the first few months aside from group messaging was I couldn't share news feed links or map locations on my XZ Premium. When I try to add a link to a message, it brings up a message that I must use stock messaging application. However, that is not the case now. Textra does it all.

I think what I said is wrong actually, because I seem to have lost the options for MMS in the app. So maybe it is carrier related, because when I first flashed the phone the options were there. It's weird because my wife has the phone with the US firmware and the MMS options have been there on hers but not on mine. It's only been about a day and the MMS options have disappeared for me.

One thing I noticed when I was messing around with the XZs and XZ1 is that the US firmware was the only one with group MMS sending enabled. With other countries, I could see the option until I stuck my sim card in. I was able to narrow it down to one .sin file with my XZ1. I think it was OEM-*.sin. So I could flash everything to a non US firmware but use the US OEM_*.sin file and get MMS with the fingerprint sensor. However, I was able to figure out a way to enable the fingerprint sensor on the US firmware by just using another country's system_*.sin and vendor_*.sin files.

After searching online a bit I saw that others ran into this issue and that it was related to the sim card, others have had success with contacting the carrier and getting them to solve it eventually. I am trying to decided what would annoy me more, having to flash my phone repeatedly with updates manually, or contact AT&T repeatedly until they can find a solution...

Still not seeing this on my USA hardware flashed with CE1 with an AT&T SIM. Like others have mentioned, the option was there before I put in my carrier's SIM -- now, it's gone.
I would really like this issue to be fixed. Such a shame, as Oreo has really beefed this phone up.

Didn't have it with 8.0 and got it with 8.1 Malasyia.

Again, pretty sure this is a carrier problem and will have to contact them. This isn't such a thing as USA hardware as there are only two models of this phone, single sim and dual sim. My wife has the dual sim with USA firmware and group messaging is working fine. I have a dual sim but with FR firmware and group messaging option goes away when I insert the sim card, and it wouldn't surprise me if I were to flash the US firmware and see the group messaging option until the sim card is inserted. I have found posts only where others have had to escalate their issue with AT&T tech support in order to get the issue fixed.

What? You got 8.1 already?

Sorry, getting confused with my Pixel 2, which I flashed 8.1. I meant to say, I didn't have Group Message on 7.1.1 but got it after flashing 8.0.

I would LOVE to simply have USA firmware, but I need the fingerprint scanner.
I assume AT&T had to do something on their end vs a simple setting that needs to inputted. Ugh.

Ya I agree that's why I won't use US firmware, but like I said that likely won't fix the problem. I will be contacting AT&T this week to see if I can get it resolved. There seems to be an issue with their provisioning for certain sim cards. Very annoying as these services/features are working fine for others.

Let me know what happens. We're both in the same boat it seems!
Something interesting I have found is that Textra works perfectly for group MMS (just tested), and I didn't adjust or alter any settings, etc. I don't like the idea of paying $3.49 for an app that should have worked out of the box, but I guess no one is really to fault here: We aren't using the proper fw for our region, and AT&T hasn't tested this software on their network; they obviously can't guarantee a feature or function will work.

One problem with using Textra is that I can't get notification badges working so there's no quick way to tell when you've got new messages. Sure, it'll be on the lock screen or in the notification drawer, but if you use the fingerprint scanner to log in, you bypass the lock screen and if you don't think to check the drawer, it can be quite a while before you notice.
This is driving my wife crazy.

Android system sending SMS without user interaction?

Hello!
Could someone confirm that the Android system is sending out short messages without user interaction?
I am using my unlocked G1 with a different carrier and get SMS messages from the carrier telling me that some sms can not be sent. But I haven't sent any SMS and all the messages that I send get received by the receiver. So my consumption is that one of the preinstalled applications must sent sms messages. (perhaps in the direction of T-Mobile)
This behaviour started right after the activation of the G1 with the different carrier. Especially after restarting the system I get this messages and after that nearly every hour.
Here are some details about the system:
G1 unlocked
Carrier: Simyo
System: Android RC30 custom build (at the beginning I had RC19)
Network: 3G switched off / Wlan switched on
It would be nice to hear if someone has the same problems. I'm getting up to 100 SMS during the day from my carrier. (I suppose that they are auto generated)
Regards from Germany.
It sounds like the MyFaves service is sending SMS messages,
Id try using the modified RC8, this doesnt have the MyFaves App and is known to solve this problem.
Make sure you back everything up before doing the software change (Just in case)
Yes it does. We've already explored most of the issue in a previous thread.
This behavior comes from an application installed by T-Mobile (MyFaves) that you can not uninstall.
If you are using a custom build RC30 (I assume JF's one) switch to the UK TC5-RC8 from JesusFreke as it removes the crazy app. It works on a US phone and the functionality are the same.
If you have an official OTA-RC30 i'm so sorry but you're SOL and I would suggest to go and try to raise hell with T-Mobile if you can..
I hope you didn't get charged for those SMS...

Great thank you for your help. So I won't have any problem with the moded RC8? Switching from RC30?
You helped me out!
I am on callmobile, a provider in Germany and have no sms sent unintentionally.
Strange but I read about the problem.
Well callmobile is using the T-Mobile network right? So you won't get messages that are showing the failure of delivery.
I have updated to RC8 now and the sms hell is gone. Thanks to all the guys that helped me out here.

You're right, callmobile uses T-mobile net, but it's not t-mo itself. Maybe that is the reason anyway.
Lucky you, you've got root access. And I am so stupid: I read somewhere that there is no reason for having root access on the device at the moment and you should wait with root access if you were not a developer. As I was bored by the permanent notification for an update, I pressed YES and ... there goes my possibility for root access, auto rotation, use another provider without unwanted sms...

You could just try to send a normal SMS to the number 453, my guess it will not work on the network your provider is using. Hence the myfaves problem is not an issue as long as you're not roaming.
yes, you are right. 453 sms produces an error message.
last weekend I was in France and - so far - I have no roaming on my bill.

Yo I got t-mobile service on my mediapad x2 texts are working fine, maybe check ur APN settings, and I have it sim slot 1
Thanks for reply
I have 703-L android 5.0
Last year: tried many texting apps, senior XDA member checked my APN settings, SIM in slot one (it worked in prior phone, and everything else working except receiving texts, once I moved the SIM to my new X2.
ANYONE:
I was curious if Marshmallow 6.0 upgrade could be a fix? or has a ROM come out that could fix this issue? Also wondering, should a non-developer, attempt rooting and adding ROMs? Or am I asking for trouble? I want to clean out garbage apps and have just a regular basic android OS! does anyone know X2 experts that can do these fixes (if so: contact details and costs if you know? I love this X2 phone and am willing to pay if someone can fix it.
Thank you in advance

If you have 2 Sim Cards for one phone number, SMS can only be received by one of them.
This can be changed by a phone call to t-mobile.

Text Messages not coming in

Hope someone can help me with this. So I got my phone yesterday and I set it all up and everything and I realised that I had bars but not data, no texting, or calling. So I did some research and remembered that I probably needed to change the APN, the default APN was set to Verizon and I have Xfinity Mobile so that made sense but it didn't work so I set it to Xfinity Mobiles APN and data works now I can call, receive calls, and even text others and they'll receive my texts. But for some reason I am unable to get any texts from anyone, no MMS or SMS. I'm really not sure what I'm missing, I don't want to have to go through my carrier and deal with their crap so any help is appreciated.

zandander is right, but more specifically; It looks like either time will resolve as they add the device through natural attrition, (24-48 Hrs) or contact them (877-894-4946) and request feature # 83856 "CDMA_LESS"

My understanding from talking to Xfinity mobile service people is that they have no power to change the device to CDMA-less (one of the reasons they only support iPhones for byod). This was about a year ago, but they still haven't added any Android byod support so I don't things have changed.
Verizon is phasing out CDMA all together so it might not be a problem for much longer: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-218813/
Do they make you change your plan if you are on a legacy unlimited data plan to go CDMA-less?

No Incoming SMS or MMS on Verizon

Hey OnePlus fam,
I just thought I would put this out as PSA for anyone on Verizon and having issues with SMS or MMS, as there is little information out there on this for our specific phones.
If you are unable to send or receive any text messages it is most like that the "CDMA-Less" feature needs to be activated.
You can call Verizon and ask them to enable "CDMA-Less" to your account.
Hope this helps
I had to get a new sim card that fixed my problem
Here are also a few links too; the first two are for a 6T but to concept still applies.

VZW information
https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/faqs?s=LTE
Had the same issue.
Called Verizon and asked them to enable this device as CDMA-less.
Been working perfect since.
Same here. I inserted my Verizon sim in the international version. Data at 50Mbps, Voice, Visual Voicemail and outgoing text messages worked. If it doesn't work for you, make sure you are using slot 1. It may matter. If you have a very old sim, you might need a new one.
I called Verizon and carefully explained that incoming sms was not functional as this was a next generation phone for a world where Verizon turns off their CDMA at the end of 2019 and SMS is routed over LTE. I instructed him to make sure "CDMA-less" was available both in the billing account and the network account. After a bit of digging he found the provisioning settings. Seconds after the phone was provisioned, sms started flooding in the stock message app. Also make sure IMS Basic Visual Voicemail is on your account if VM is giving you trouble. I use VZW Message+ (Verizon Messages) for sms as I can text from a PC also and it will restore previous sms.
By definition the phone uses VOLTE so there is no setting for HD Voice in the phone. That feature is required on your Verizon account but you would have to be switching from an ancient phone not to already have that. I cannot locate any option for Wifi calling and it does not work in airplane mode. I have a google voice number which allows Wifi calling. Interestingly it errors when the phone is in airplane mode but works when cell service is on. It reports "Wifi Call" and appears to use the stock dialer when initiated from the Voice app. Somehow Voice is even more tightly integrated with the stock dialer now than just trapping and routing international calls. This is a bug of sorts as my Moto phone on 8.0 could call in airplane mode with wifi on.
Google Duo appears to be integrated in the dialer but I haven't tried with my wife's Pixel to see if I can switch to Duo while on a regular voice call.
Bootloader unlock was simple: Tap Build # 6x, Developer Options - OEM unlocking, adb reboot recovery, fastboot oem unlock [This erases the phone]
The 7 Pro is an amazing device! Truly the most amazing. I'm really excited. The phone is super super slippery and a drop magnet. It does come with a TPU case.
I'm going to sell my kid's mint 5T and upgrade him too!
BT sucks worse than the Moto phone but I think that is an Android thing as my wife's pixel as issues to with her car. Contacts not syncing and calls not going through while connected to BT. Just have to do work arounds when I have some time.
Hoping video is fixed for the wide camera. They are amazing; but then, I'm coming from a Moto phone which has the worst cameras. Sony knows what they are doing.
Sorry to wake an old thread but did not want to start a new one.
I have verizon and have cdma-less provisioning done already. Have HD voice on the account as well. SMS works fine but I can only send MMS not receive them.
Ive tried moving sim card to other slot, tried reboot, tried factory reset, tried different apps...nothing.
The only time MMS fully works is when I am in safe mode. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
Thank you

I downloaded a couple other SMS apps and they all work fine. So leads me to believe its just something weird with the stock app and with Mood SMS. I will switch to QKSMS for now and requested assistance from Mood SMS so they could take a look. Thanks all.
I'm going to guess MMS didn't work with that app while you were on wifi? Some apps don't know how to route MMS data properly when there both data and wifi available.
It's an option that has to be enabled on the account for Verizon customers, it's the cdma-less option. It took me a couple representatives til one of knew what I was talking about lol
I think his issue is slightly different as he can recieve sms but not mms and it varies on the app he's using.

No that I already checked. I still have not figured out why I cannot receive MMS on the stock app or on mood SMS. Mood had not replied to my email. I switched to qksms and have no issues anymore.
So ya if anyone else runs into something like I did, try different SMS apps
Yup, I learned this very quickly when I got the OnePlus 6t. Just getting them to understand that the phone was certified on VZW. Then 4 techs before one knew what to do. I think they now can address quickly even over chat.

Yeah, there's a lot more to this than enabling CDMA-less. Before about a month ago data/sms/MMS wasn't working on Android 10 based custom roms and MMS still doesn't work unless you use Messages+.

SMS Delayed and Calls go Right to Voice Mail

Using the device on T-Mobile. Sometimes I'll just get a voice mail notification - without the phone ever ringing. Tested from a desk phone, and sure enough it goes right to voice mail without ever ringing. If I make a call outbound from the Zenfone 6, it will always work. Then I'm able to receive calls for an unknown amount of time. I can reboot and get calls after the reboot, but they will eventually randomly stop.
SMS also come though delayed by hours. For instance someone sends a SMS my way at 2pm, I'll get it at about 4pm. If I send a SMS out bound, I then instantly get all the inbound ones.
Anyone know if I need to whitelist something in battery optimization? So far the Zenfone isn't really good at being a phone. - great at everything else though.
Check your apn settings I think I had to update the default to whatever BYOD APN settings are for T-mobile see if it helps you
Also had this issue on T-Mobile. If APN settings don't fix it, I'd go to Auto-start Manager in Settings > Battery > PowerMaster and allow your messaging apps to run.
For me, I'd get SMS messages only when my screen was on, and some weren't received from contacts, like it shuts the apps off after not using them.
Same here. I'm about to switch providers because of this. What rom are y'all using? I'm on LineageOS 16. @wreid23 can you post your APN settings?
Tried unoptimizing all the messaging related apps, no effect.

I've found the same to be true for me. Wi-Fi connection prevents calls from coming in. I can dial out just fine.
This is extremely strange since this phone is not even Wi-Fi calling certified and it's not even a feature. This has been my biggest issue with the phone so far because you never know if you miss a really important call.

Asus denies the phone could be the problem (despite the phone obviously being the only variable). I replied to that thread anyway, with my experience of similar lost calls on a Moto x4 with Wi-Fi calling enabled. Maybe it'll give some engineer at Asus a push in the right direction...

I'm having the issue with T-Mobile 7T Pro, when I got the permanent unlock approval and switched to Mint Mobile sim is when calls went to voice mail, have you found a solution yet? Phone works fine if I use T-Mobile sim, but Mint Mobile sim in the 7T Pro is when the calls go to voice mail and text don't go out, if I put the Mint mobile sim into a Pixel XL all is fine. When I had to quit Mint Mobile becasue of this and go back to T-Mobile on prepaid again, all worked well.
The zenfone 6 is getting volte with the android 11 update so hopefully that fixes this issue
