People rarely if ever receive long text messages (which I believe are sent as MMS) or MMS messages I send with pictures. I'm on AT&T. The messages show as sent but people aren't getting them 99% of the time, no matter what carrier or phone they use. Is this AT&T screwing me over or something wrong with OOS?

Everyone once in a while, I'll be unable to send messages out and I'll notice that I'm not receiving any. Is this related to the issue where people are not receiving phone calls on the Mes I've heard about? Once I reboot, it seems to work again but then the cycle repeats.
I'm on the Heinz's latest build
Did you check your contacts numbers? If there is a + sign in front, it can cause issues

Also do you have MMS? If you're SMS app is set to convert long SMS to MMS and you don't have MMS, you'll run into problems.
nope. no + in my phone numbers and no, the messages arent long. I do have unlimited MMS to so it shouldnt matter anyways.
Have you tried a different SMS app such as GO SMS or Handcent?
I don't know why my phone is so wacked out...but now I can not send Pics in Text Messages. It trys to send but just gets stuck on "sending". Any suggestions?
Maybe try toggling your data connection off/on. Or, sent out a regular SMS. Sometimes that will help push em thru. I've had issues sometimes where they'll hang like that until I receive a text, then they push thru, but only on certain ROMs.
Hope this helps at all.

I had the same problem before, then I learned that my data had to be on in order to send or receive messages through text messages. I'm not sure if this is because of my carrier or if that's just how it is.
Won't work over Wifi, which seems kind of silly.
You need to have the data on to send MMS (picture messages) the carriers do not generally count that against the data you use.
Ok Ive alwaysssssssss had this problem since I bought this phone and never asked for help but its bugging me now and I want to get it fixed. If I send a text message which falls under the character limit everyone gets them just fine. But as soon as I exceed the limit that it has to send 2 texts no one receives the 2nd text. I even did a test and went 1 character over the limit the other person reported that they were missing the last letter in the text. I have checked my settings it says that any txt exceeding 3 messages will be converted to an MMS. I disabled this feature, I still have this problem. I set it to 5 msg limit to send as mms, still same problem. Its really annoying because I have free txts with my provider so I can send as many as I want but no idea why I cant send long txts. any my friends are on the same provider and they send me long txts and i get them fine. Ive gotten others to send long txts to the same friends they get em fine. its just my msgs that people cannot get from me. My phone provider is vodafone australia if that matters

I think some roms had something along the lines of split settings in the messaging app. Maybe it had something to do with that?
What rom are you running?

Hi,
I bought the Z3 about a month ago, and so far I'm fairly happy with it after moving from my S5, but, I have a few nagging issues that are starting to drive me up the wall.
My gf and I both got this phone, and both of us have these issues, we have T-Mobile.
I have a lot of issues sending and receiving MMS, both using Textra and the stock messaging app.
I have had under probably 10 occasions at least where people asked if I received their picture, or if I received their group text, but I did not. I have also sent mms messages and had the other party not receive them.
In addition, I have to reboot my phone at least once a week, because text messages will start failing to send/receive, and same goes for phone calls.
Is there a custom rom or some flashable fix for this issue? It's really the only thing taking away from this phone..
Thanks!

Well, this is strange. I'm on ATT and as of 6/15, I no longer can receive texts from non-ATT customers. They just do not show up on my phone. I can send to them but I cannot receive. I sent messages to my brother (Verizon) and he sends me a return text but they never show up. I called ATT and they are telling me it's phone specific. It might be, but what can I do to avoid a master reset?
