I have the same issue. Apn is fine.
I think Xiaomi phones just don't like Google messages.
Oh well, I'll just have to buy something else.

Correct I read that its a known issue. I can't understand why though and its pretty annoying. I'm willing to use textra though to keep the phone since its so beautiful and fast. Camera is better than my wifes iPhone X too.
Customer rom (once available) shoudl take care of it though i think...?
Same issue. I'm using Pulse instead:

If you want to root your phone there is a Magisk module that installs Google Framework which allows non-Google phones to use Google Dialer and Google Messages. The Google versions of those apps usually won't work on non-Google phones unless it is an Android One device.
Google messages has worked on every other device for me. Good news though, I installed the global miui 10 beta and android messages (incl MMS) works perfectly without any tinkering. So all of this will be a thing of the past...

I didn't know that. The Google Dialer/Contact App doesn't work on most non-Google phones.
Yeah dialer still doesn't work for me (just trying latest from apkmirror, not getting in to hacked versions). But messages is fine.

Please report it to Google. Looks like G can revoke certification for this ****

I had the exact same issue. MMS didn't work for me on 9.5.19 Upgraded to 8.26 MIUI 10 beta and mms works perfectly.
I can receive and send MMS now on MIUI 10. However, sending GIF works BUT receiving them just gives me a jpg of the first frame of the GIF. Has anyone fixed this? Textra does not work. Messenger does not work. The stock messaging app doesn't even allow them to be inserted.
It seems the newest update released today for Miui9 has fixed Google Messages.
Maybe they backported the fix from Miui10?

Thanks for the info, I'll have to test once I get home(just bought the Mi Mix 2s, haven't fully transitioned yet).
*Edit, no OTA yet for U.S. in SoCal. Downloading the OTA manually from MIUI forums: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3410139&page=1#pid28876221
*Edit 2, just finished manual update to 9.6.4. Tested MMS/GIF sending via T-Mobile on Mi Mix S2 on Android Messages and it works flawlessly. However Verizon is still busted, can't access APN settings. Verizon SIM was taken from my Pixel XL.
what about group text/mms? when people response, it only go to me? other than that everything is good. Where do I get the global rom MIUI 10 beta?
Thanks
Not working in Miui 10 Stable Global
Hi guys,
I have had an MMS issue with Lineage ROMs and solved it by merging APNs, if you have on dedicated fro the web, and the other one for the MMS.
Simply copy / paste the data related to MMS from the dedicated MMS APN to the web APN, and add set type to "default,internet,mms".
It has worked immediately.
Hope it helps !

For the past month, I periodically get an error message - "Yahoo login failure"
This only happens on the T-Mobile network, not when I am on wi-fi.
Its not constant but happens often.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean upgrade.
The error is in the stock Android email client version of Yahoo, not Yahoo's separate app.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on the cure?

Lot of people are reporting the same issue. Apparently Yahoo has disabled access via 3rd party mail apps to promote their own mail client. They deny connections coming from mobile internet ISPs.

Thanks for clarifying that G. Its been driving me nuts. There's no way I'm adding a new app to my system, just to perform the work of built in email apps.
Especially with all the hassles users are reporting. I use Yahoo email a lot, but can easily switch over to Gmail in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll set Gmail to check
my yahoo email. Has anyone done this? Is this a decent work around.
Yahoo, if you are reading this, you are going to lose not gain users. There are too many better options.
You are becoming like "brain freeze" Nobody wants you.

Hangouts doesn't show online/offline/busy statuses, and I use Google Talk for chatting, so Hangouts is fairly useless to me. I rooted, used Titanium Backup to uninstall Hangouts, and installed the attached APK. I imagine if you allow it to update, you'll end up with Hangouts again, so don't allow it to update.

You do realise that this will stop working shortly. They were only keeping the old talk api's onl;inme for a few months. Hangouts does show who is online and offline btw. The icon is greyd out if offline, not if online, simples.

Yes but it isn't sorted, it should be sorted by online/offline of friends who you've actually chatted with THEN everyone else. Hangouts doesn't do that and is inferior hence why most of us are hanging on to gtalk. I'll probably just switch full time to trillian if they don't sort out the sorting issue on Hangouts.

I was also disappointed about not seeing the status when I switched to Hangouts. Apparently, so were many people and Google definitely got the message. It looks like the new Hangouts brought back (or is bringing back) the feature, though I haven't checked it out yet.

By the way, there are very recent reports (within the last day) of a problem using the old Google Talk. Supposedly, it has been resolved, but the issue was basically that it may have been sending messages to the wrong recipient. (Yup, that's a bad one.)
So, "...it appears to largely affect Google Talk users who have not yet upgraded to Google’s new Hangouts service."
http://rootzwiki.com/news/google-talk-comes-back-vengeance-misdirects-hangouts-messages/
So i created a backup of hangouts, then uninstalled through titanium back-up and then installed your APK however it wouldn't show up in my app drawer anymore. Is there a reason for that?
I've installed ChompSMS, but when I go into Settings - Wireless & Networks - Default SMS app - only Hangouts is listed. I've tried rebooting the phone, but still nothing. Does ChompSMS need to be updated so it'll show up on this list? Is there another way to make it the default app?
Thanks!

What he said lol.
There are particular parameters that an app has to have in 4.4 for Hangouts to recognise it as an SMS app.
What the others said.
Long-winded answer:
Basically, before 4.4, there was no such thing as an "SMS app" on Android. Apps like ChompSMS didn't actually directly receive and process SMSes. They listened for SMS received events and intercepted the SMS message as it went into the default SMS app. This was an incredibly hacky method, would cause weird issues (like you'd get notifications from two SMS apps), and wasn't at all supported officially by Google.
Now in 4.4, they added the ability for apps to act as proper replacements for SMS. But they must stop using the old APIs/intents and use the new 4.4 APIs to do this. If/when the app developer does this, then you'll see it as an option.
I have the same issue you too and have been unable to find any SMS 'app' that can be set as the default.... Anyone have any success?
I've tried - Chomp, Now and Textra and none are 'selectable'!
Thanks.

Works flawlessly.
I emailed the developer last week and got a reply to say a fixed version would be out this week. It's not out at the time of writing this post, but on the Google Play website someone gave it a 1 star review for not working on the Nexus 5 and one of the devs replied to say "It's fixed. Please email us with the subject line NOT FAQ." Maybe they are sending people an APK if they email them?

8sms absolutely does work, make sure you have the most updated version from the Play Store and then go to Settings>More... (under Wireless & Networks), then tap Default SMS app and change to 'Messaging', which is 8sms. Could not recommend this app higher.
I just got a reply from the developer. They are supposedly releasing a version that's compatible with the Nexus 5/Android 4.4 today. They also linked me to a beta version that works, although I haven't tested it: -

Thanks for the link! Working great on my Nexus 5 now. This is version 5.89, the version on the Play Store was released Nov 12 and is v5.88.
Chomp user here too, though when I installed the beta it didn't seem to have notifications turned on by default, so I missed a few texts. Worth checking if you install it.
Version 5.89 has been released to the Play Store, has KitKat compatibility.
New to OnePlus, have the Verizon version of the 8 with the Verizon messages app as default. I'd like to go back to the Google messages app but it doesn't allow full functionality for some reason so I'm looking for a comparable replacement. Any recommendations?

A bit of backstory :
I'm literally obsessed in finding a messaging app that has good design and UX, because before Google had revamped Google message, I didn't liked the design of the app. I tried sooooo many app, in the end I can advise 2 of them that are really good (excluding Textra SMS since I heard they had privacy issues):
• Pulse: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.klinker.messenger
• QKSMS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moez.QKSMS

Oneplus messaging app was so great because it was simply and working without much fuss, now it's google messages, spammy AF! I need the old messaging back! Any ideas?
Recorder app come in handy too. Why they did deleted these apps? Plus the facebook thing on the 8, Oneplus becoming corrupt...
Edit: Dialer is out too. The new one is horrible. Contact editing is so confusing.

- Set oneplus dialer as default before disabling google dialer.
They don't have Facebook pre-installed on the 8T. Honest I never used the Google messenger. Always used textra on all my android phones. And for then caller I sue the stock Google one.
