*SOLVED* (See my post #11)
Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting any text on my U12+. I've seen one other case on androidCentral forums but not much of any results. Figure i would chime in and see if anyone else figured this out.
I had this issue as well. I had to go to a Verizon store and get a new sim card, which he activated in my old HTC 10 then put into the U12+. After that the tech suspended my sms service then reactivated and I was good to go. The only issue I have is that I can not receive MMS messages from any 3rd party app, so I am stuck using the stock one.
Call Verizon -- spent 3 minutes with a level 1 technician who re-provisioned the phone for sms & mms. All is working as expected (although the stock messaging system wouldn't send GIFs, but I downloaded Textra and it works fine).

Are you able to receive mms in Textra? I can send mms and sms in any app, but can only receive mms pictures in Verizon messages

Soooooooo, it turns out there's an MMS bug with Textra which hasn't been fixed yet. I tried all the suggested steps (clean install, change MMS behavior, modify APN settings, etc) and MMS doesn't work with Textra. I emailed the developers and we'll see what happens.
I then downloaded Pulse and everything works as expected with that app. Not sure about any other third party messaging apps right now.

I emailed textra support over the weekend and after running through all the settings, they had me install android messages and that did not work with MMS as well. I tried with a few other 3rd party apps and they came to the conclusion that it is an android Oreo bug and they can't do anything to fix it.
Thanks everyone! I will try the steps mentioned above and report back.
Interestingly enough mms receive works for me on Verizon messages and the default htc text app. It does not work (just receiving pics) in Textra or Android messages. This feels like an OS side issue? I was on the phone with tier 2 support when I first got it and they reprovisioned twice. Then said just use the apps that work lol

Hey Guys I have something similar I have a ticket opened with tier 2 but my problem is that I can't get incoming text messages. I can send from the stock app but just no incoming... I factory reset twice, reset network settings twice but still same problem. Also tried the android messages app and Verizon app.

That's what my issue is. Can send but not receive. Haven't called yet. I'm going to in just a bit. Will report back.
Just got off the phone with Level 2 support. He tried reprogramming the sim card but that didn't work.
BUT he dug deep and did what he called a "CDMA list feature activation"
and then my text and mms started coming through in android messages. also voicemail. apparently that was also affected.
Hope that helps everybody. call support and let them know about this. skip the guess work.

Have you tried using a 3rd part app for texting like Textra to see if it works? I can only use the default stock app but called to see if this would fix anything on my end. Level 2 support told me that the CDMA list feature was already activated and they could not remove it from my account as it was active.

All I use is Android messager and occasionally switch to the stock messenger to send higher quality picture messages. So far everything I've done on Android messager is working.

Textra developer suggested turning off MMS Auto Retrieve in stock messaging app, rebooting, and trying to do MMS with Textra again. It didn't work for me, but can't hurt you to try it with android messenger. Even with Textra MMS timeout issues, Pulse is working perfectly for me. Maybe give that app a shot? YMMV ... just throwing out some ideas for you.

Just tried it, no go as well. Funny thing is, i froze the stock messages with titanium as well, but it thawed itself on reboot. I'll give Pulse a try, does it compress images sent?

I'm having issues sending MMS messages on my GS5. I contacted Sprint support and they really aren't much help so I just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues?
The Sprint rep had me dial ##72786# which sent it into the hands-free activation mode again, but they ultimately weren't able to fix anything.

Check in /system/etc if apns-conf.xml exists. If not, there's your problem. But I need more info to assist here, do you still have data/LTE, phone signal, none at all, are you using third party messaging app?
Okay, network connectivity exists. Normal text messages send fine with no issues and I can actually receive MMS messages. I'm using the stock messaging application because I was having issues receiving MMS via the Hangouts app when I let it handle my text messaging.
The file you requested was there...my post count isn't high enough to post the screenshot of it. I'm not currently rooted.

Try using 8sms.... It allows you to send MMS over WiFi (you can turn OFF mobile data, and still be able to send MMS as long as you have a WiFi connection). Sprint supports MMS over WiFi and is one of VERY few carriers in the world that support it, so try out 8sms

Can you receive MMS in stock messages app? Is it just Hangouts?
I can receive messages in all apps, Hangouts and the stock app. It just seemed to have issues sending MMS within any app that I have tried so far. Currently using the stock app.
I can give 8SMS a try.
I had an issue the other day sending texts. I went into application manager and deleted cache and data for the MMS program and it's worked fine since.

Agreed, try first clear cache/data for sms stock app (do not open), go update prl/profile, reboot. Them open app and see if works. If so, profit. If not and you have time, redo ROM flash of stock or what you're on. I'd say try my APN flash zip in Android development to see but that is at your own risk and, if something broke (highly unlikely though) you'd need to Reflash stock ROM to reset all. All this worth a try.

I had this issue when my phone was new. Did the activation thing and a PRL update, which fixed it for me.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Wondering if anybody else is having any problems sending SMS. Sometimes they send perfect and other times they take a minute then they say message not sent. Usually they resend perfectly fine. I have tried different ROMs and I have the same results. I have tried to use the stock messaging app as well as Hangouts and they both give me the same result. Have also tried removing the SIM card and they worked fine for about a week then they started to randomly not send. Not sure what the issue is and would love others feedback for a solution. Thanks
I have the same issue. I've had it across multiple roms. Good to know I'm not the only one.

I got the same problem to, I figured it's because I live in a area with bad signal but I usually have at least one bar which should be enough to send a text, I guess it's not only a problem with my phone then. I've been using a new messaging app that seems to help a lot here's a link if either of you want to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144
Its been plaguing me too, with hangouts. Driving me crazy
You r saying regular text don't send or mms? I know if your MMS limit is set higher then 1200 it will not sent. SMS I'm clueless tho 1st I have heard of this
I too am having the same issues, stock, un-rooted and using message+, stock app and hangouts.
Also, I have been sending and receiving the same message multiple times. My message wont send, then i'll delete it, resend it, and the recipient gets it 2-3 times. Or out of no where I'll receive the same massage 3-5 times...
I had hoped rooting and a custom rom would be the answer but I guess not :crying:

Try Disabling Google Voice+
What finally fixed it for me was disabling Voice+ (Which allows apps to send SMS through Google Voice).
Messages were automatically switching to my GV number. When I disconnected the GV account, I couldn't send any SMS at all. I could still receive, though, which led me to GV+.
It was driving me absolutely insane.

Hey everyone,
ever since I updated from Android Kitkat to the L preview and the final release of Lollipop, I've had an issue with text messaging. I use the google hangouts app to send my text messages, I've verified my number within the Hangouts app and I've also selected it as my default messaging app. So the problem is: whenever I send a text message, the app says it's been sent through sms and money from my prepaid is taken as well, so I know it was actually processed by my carrier. But for some inexplicable reason, no one I text actually receives the message. I've tried to use an alternative app like tetra and the new stock messaging app from google with the same result. I haven't got a clue what could cause this, but because it occured after the update, I'm guessing it could be on the software side.
So has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix this? All answers are appreciated.
(I've a Dutch carrier, Vodafone)
*edit: Calling works fine.
**edit: fix: Make sure the APN of the hangouts app is the same as your phone's, apparently this may differ which causes complications
***edit: it didn't fix it, reverting to 4.4.4 did

I would like to add something new, it is very strange. I swapped my sim card with another person's sim card who also happens to own a nexus 5. When the sim cards were swapped, we were both able to send each other text messages from both phones and sim cards. But the moment I put my sim card back in my phone and sent a message, the other person didn't receive it. It seems like it isn't the phone's fault neither the sim card, but yet it is. I'm extremely confused.

Ah I fixed it! Apparently the APN from my phone's settings can differ from the APN of the hangouts app. By default it was onpda.stm.sk.ca instead of live.vodafone.com, I don't know why or how this is possible. Just glad it's fixed, thanks for the help anyway!
They may have blocked you
Alright I found out what the definitive problem is: Android 5.0
When I reverted to stock 4.4.4 I had NO issues whatsoever. But with the L preview and the official release I did have problems. I also tried to update from the stock 4.4.4 to 5.0 but I still couldn't text. Anway I hope it's just a carrier incompatibility thing that will soon be fixed.
If anyone knows how android 5.0 can impact and or can come up with a way to fix this manually, please let me know!
Additional update, I've contacted my Dutch carrier (Vodafone), and they informed me that they will look into it before the OTA update is released.

Nope it wasn't, it seemed lik a fix because I was able to send a message to 1 person but to no one else. So as I said, I'm back on Kitkat which is actually a permanent fix. I've contacted Vodafone about this issue and they said they will resolve it before the OTA comes out. But I can safely presume that you have the same issue? Let me know!

Thanks. Yes I'm having the same issue. Also tried those APN settings, but it didn't help.
Well I'm not sure weather it works.. Just give a try
In the settings->apps->Hangouts->uninstall updates
and then try sending some messages ...
if that does not then update the app from the playstore again and then try sending...
If still the problem persists then it is your SIM card problem try PORT or alternate SIM CARD .
Have you tried talking to your phone provider? Might be something on their end.
No it is Lollipop + Hangouts. There is a bug in the way it handles non-US texts. Watch the outgoing number and if it changes to +xx where xx is the country code then that is where your problem is. Google Lollipop country code and you should find some info.
It is also the same reason that I can't SMS short codes from Hangouts using Google Voice because it adds a +1. Hangouts on the PC or the GV app work just fine.

Just activated my Mate 9 in the US a few hours ago on AT&T. Seems like calls and texts are being sent/received fine. However, when I start a new text, start typing a contact that is in my Contacts (that I synced to the phone via Google), the contact comes up, but when I select it I get an error message: "Invalid Recipient <(732) 283-0192)> He or she will not receive the message", without the quotes. Not sure if it's related, but I am also not seeing all recipients on group texts that I confirmed had multiple recipients that are in my Contacts.
Any ideas?

It's just MMS.
I was advised before I ever bought the phone that this is a Xiaomi issue. I'm not sure why, but so far using the stock app hasn't bothered me. I'd like the added functionality of group messages and the web client, however not at the expense of MMS.
I usually have issues with Xiaomi devices and 3rd Party SMS apps, however android messages works fine for me. I'm on T-mobile in the US. MMS working fine both ways.

Did you add the country code to your phone number as well? Going to try this. It's annoying that Android messages seems to pull from a separate database than MIUI Messenger, but it's even more annoying how MIUI messenger handles group conversations.
Also did you edit any of your APN Settings? I can't seem to get it to work.

My SMS database is the same as the stock MIUI message app right now. Maybe you should uninstall and reinstall? I did actually add the country code intially but it seems to remove it automatically. But yes group messaging is the only reason I switched apps too. It's such a basic feature, I can't believe they haven't implemented it yet

That's odd. I used SMS Backup and restore, and the messages showed in the MIUI app, but not Android. Now when I try to send MMS in the Android App it immediately fails. Did you update your APN settings manually? Or was it just the cell phone number?

My messages were copied over from my old phone when I used the NFC touch to set them up. I didn't know that was going to happen but I'm totally ok with it, however I have the same issue in that they show up fine in MIUI Messages but not Android Messages. I also confirmed my phone number is present in Android Messages and tried to send an MMS but it still failed. I'm on Verizon with a Global 6/64 version of the phone on the latest MIUI 9 update.

I think the difference is I've owned a Xiaomi device and my SMS was restored by their cloud process. I've also used textra and the SMS shows up there for me as well so maybe that's it. But I did adjust the APN, but I just had to select the correct one from the list, I didn't have to manually edit anything.
I haven't been able to get Android Messages to send MMS, but if i switch to MIUI messages it works, and it also works in Pulse SMS. I blame the android messages app. I had trouble with it in the past on a previous phone too. For now i'm sticking with Pulse

I couldn't get Pulse to work either. I wasn't receiving group messages at all. Only Textra has worked for me so far.
Messages is working fully for me on global miui 10 beta. It can see SMS restores by 3rd party backup and MMS is working perfectly too.

I can't wait for my bootloader to get unlocked so I can upgrade. 12 more days...smh
I cracked my Mi Mix 2s screen so bought a Mi 8 to try something different. Same issue. However.... Just today I got an update notification for the latest Miui 9 Global stable rom. And guess what MMS and Android messages are working now!!!!! Guessing it will be the same result on the Mi Mix 2s. I'm running MIUI Global 9.6.7 (OEAMIFD)
If you want to use third party app like Textra or pulse to send mms you juste have to allow "display over other apps" for that particular app in the privacy settings of your xiaomi phone
