I tried reinstalling two different apps that weren't working and that worked great. However, I still have a problem with messaging. The system is saying that certain text messages have not been sent. But I know they were because people responded to them.
The default messaging app cannot be uninstalled so I am not sure what to do.

Tried another messaging app?

Both messaging apps have same problem.
I tried uninstalling Evolve, but it didn't help anything. This is more of a system problem where it thinks messages haven't been sent so they show up in red. I know they were sent. It's very odd. The problem went away for now in that it's been showing messages as sent, so I suppose I can ignore it.

[Q] Issue with Idol 3 and MightyText

Does anyone else here use MightyText? Since switching over to the Idol 3 last week, I'm having some issues. When I send a text from the MightText web client, the message goes out and the recipient receives it. However, the message doesn't show up in the conversation list on my phone (it used to show up on my old phone). I tried uninstalling GoSMS and just using the stock message app but it's still happening.
If there are other MT users on this board, can you tell me if you have the same issue on your Idol 3?

I don't use that app but whenever moving from one Android version to a new one there are always apps that don't work properly. Same thing happens on Windows as well. The app dev needs to update their app for the new OS. Let them know what happening and if their still supporting their app they will fix it. I have an issue with Next Browser but my issue is it won't even install. Others are having the same issue on Lollipop but on other phones besides the Idol 3. I would recommend using an app that works on Lollipop until your favorite one is being updated/fixed. You may need to do some searching.
It is working for me. After installing the app, the app directs you to a website. This confirms it is communicating with the phone.
I have contacted the developer and informed them. I was just curious if this is a Lollipop issue, and Idol 3 issue, or just something screwy with my phone, and that's what I'm trying to track down.

Right, the app itself is working and sending text messages. The problem I'm having is that the outgoing text doesn't show up in the conversation list, so when I'm viewing a conversation on my phone, I can only see the other person's texts, not the ones I sent through MightyText. If I send a message through the phone, it shows up as normal.
It's not really a major issue, just something that was working fine on my old GS4/KitKat but isn't working the same on my Idol 3/Lollipop.
i just noticed that. kind of makes it one sided..... i have the same issue. I am going to try push bullet and see if that fixes it
---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------
same thing happens with pushbullet. My responses do not appear in the messages. bummer....
I know I'm late to this party, but I also have the same issue. Any luck with Pushbullet? This is definitely somehow specific to the idol3. I haven't had this issue with any other phone over the years, on any Android OS version.

So you're successfully using Pushbullet or Mightytext with Textra, on the Idol 3? Including outgoing messages showing in the message threads? I just can't seem to get this working right on my phone.

I have Pushbullet, Textra, MightyText, Hangouts, Messenger and Messaging. I have tried various combinations to get my outgoing text from my Chromebook to appear on my Idol3, but no success. I had no troubles with my Nexus 5.

Similar issue with OK Google sent texts
I'm having a similar issue when I send texts using "Ok Google".
The texts are received by the other party fine, but they never show up in my text history.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know of any fixes?
Same Issue Here
Outgoing texts do not appear in my conversation list for IFFT, Macrodroid sent texts.
I looked all over the internet for this issue... I'm glad I know now what's the problem, but I wish
a solution had emerge... any luck for you guys ?
This seems to be an Alcatel issue. I have tried reaching their support team regarding this issue and have not had any responses.
This makes the phone useless for me as I send out a lot of group texts via my computer. If I had known this would not work, I would have never purchased it.

How can I fix my sms?

So I downloaded an app that allowed me to spam sms to someone however upon uninstalling it I have discovered that I no longer can send sms messages from my device. They don't mark them as failed or anything they just never are received on the other end. I imagine that somehow the smsc gateway settings got changed but I can't find out how to view it or change the value.
I don't want to have to factory reset my phone but I will if all else fails. Can anybody help?
btw I have boost

I am a little bit confused here. And the app you are talking about somehow was interferred with your original sms app? Look you need sms service and sms app. Perhaps worth extracting from kdz. I might dig those out for you. For example myself, I am using the messanger and services from Marshmallow AICP even on my GF2 and it's working like a charm. The thing is if you haven't srewed the services up, bro.

The app was used to send a large number of texts at once. Its ok though I just reflashed the stock rom over again and it works again!

Oh wow, finally with the same problem as mine, but really didn't notice about the video problem, but I surely have it sometimes. See my thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/problem-sound-output-t3617534
Try uninstalling Facebook Messenger for some time and check if the problems persist, that's my case and most probably yours too.

I'll try,never thought about that.I'll come back with the results
How'd it go?
I'm trying to check if there's a setting forcing this bug, but I think it's something inside the app that's causing it, unfortunately.

I'm surprised that solved the problem,I installed messenger lite and it's all good,but I don't want to keep it forever.I'll install the original messenger again and see what I can do.
You tried blocking all the notifications from messenger?

I too am using Messenger Lite. I have not turned off notifications because that will disable a very important feature of the app , but other than that, I have tried everything and there isn't a single setting that is causing the problem and only the Messenger team can fix it since it's inside the app.
If we send more emails to them, they'll maybe consider fixing it.

Unable to view/send messages

I just received the phone yesterday and am trying to send messages through the sytem app, but unfortunately, I'm neither able ot send, nor receive any messages. I tried 3rd party apps like google messenger but got no result. Any body else faced such an issue?
What can I do to change it?
Thanks!
Sounds weird, I've already read of this bug time ago on older EMUI versions, lately discovered that it was depending by mobile data speed selected (messages not working on 4G, works instead on every other velocity). Already thought of just backup data and wipe it? If not, which EMUI are u running? Type some more about your phone status
I think you should try the old solution, a factory reset

did you check the sms centre number for your messaging settings, just confirm it with your operator

Is anyone NOT getting text messages?

I'm on OB4. It has been this way since 3, and yes I've tried a factory reset.
Seems like people who send me texts never get their messages through.
I've tried just shy of everything. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Textra Pro btw
Yes it is happening to me too.. Many a times i wont get the otp. I thought it was carrier issue.
makes me feel a little bit better. i was beginning to think all my friends started hating me

Same here. I was on the Official and had to go back to Android 9. Really sucks because I really liked 10
I installed carrier services from the play store, and it seems to be making it better
I wasn't getting them in the google messenger app and couldnt' download attachments (oneplus messenger or whatever it's called is disabled). I just installed this, looking forward to my next mms.

did it fix it?
I have had this issue on Android 10 only.
I've pinpointed it to when the phone is inactive for I don't know how long.. I work third shift, so sleep in the am woke up everyday for 2 weeks to texts **** down calling worked..
Only fix is reboot.
Temp fix is a scheduled shutdown and start up while I sleep and phone charges. Haven't had issues in a week now. I'm running atnt and Verizon side by side

Did you find a fix for this?
I was having issues with the stock messaging app, did not get a lot of text, or have them send either. It did not matter what network the recipient/sender was on. I switched to google messages and have not had the issue repeat itself. I am on tmo, and this happened to me months back.
