For about a week now, I have been having problems w/ RCS on my S21+. The Google Messages app requests that I verify my number, but (almost) never progresses any further. If it does actually connect, it will disconnect very quickly.
I have tried clearing data and cache from the messages app, as well as Carrier Services, but no difference. I am on VZ.
Is there something I am missing?
I have to be in the beta program of the app before RCS work for me. Not sure why, but that's the only way I got it to work.

I was in the beta program, but got out of it cause I thought that was the problems. I will try again.

Did you check if there are conflicts with your APN settings. I too have a S21+ and RCS works fine. (Previously on Mint, currently on Visible.)
I did not change the APN settings. Its a VZ device and the only APN is "Verizon Internet". I have tried when on WiFi and on cellular. It doesnt make a difference.

Hi. I despise the stock messaging app on my H810 Att LG G4. Sometimes I will get anonymous messages with nothing to download. Other times I will be prompted to retry to download an MMS over and over. I feel I am missing out on texts from my friends and family. I checked APN settings, called ATT, and even had a replacement phone shipped. I have tried multiple 3rd party apps. Textra intermittently works, but I constantly get a notification to "Cant retrieve MMS recheck APN settings". Group message has people with iphones and other carreirs, but I can't believe a basic functionality is so buggy. Do any of you have any tips to solve this issue.?
Try a different messaging app. I loaded up Google Messenger just to check it our and have been using it as my main SMS and MMS app since. On my last phone I used Hangouts and between the two I prefer Messenger but I still use Hangouts a lot for non-SMS/MMS messaging. Outside of those there are a ton of options out there with good reviews like Textra and QKSMS. Look around and find one with the features you like.
Thanks for the help. I have tried multiple other apps though. Textra will fail at receiving mms too. Get the notification (Cant retrieve mms check apn).
Are you running an ad blocker?
The same exact thing happened to me, there's a thread somewhere.... Nothing useful inside it though. I ended up doing a factory reset and it worked. I was pretty sure it was something I blocked via debloater causing the issue.
I believe there's two packages, one each from LG and Qualcomm related to messaging.
Also, ad blockers can block messaging, but changing the mms port in the apn to 8080 seems to fix it.

I've gone through the entire ATT help service even got a new phone. THeir resposne was oh well unfortunately android doesn't communicate well with ios sometimes and it isn't your phone causing an issue so basically you have to just suck it up. We are "working" on a patch for the latest version of android. Bull***. Anyway they won't fix my service and won't allow me get a different phone unless I pay off the remainder of the balance AKA $600 when the damn thing has been discounted to 500 by some carriers. I'll try the new MMS apn port and hopefully it work.s Apparently they said that my mms are timing out and not being pushed to my phone for some reason.

Have support transfer you to retention and say T-Mobile is offering you a better deal.
It's worth a shot, although there were some people in the T-Mobile threads complaining about messaging too.
Did you ever find a resolution to this? I have the same problem and know I am sporadically missing out on messages. Truly infuriating. Tried different APN settings, different apps, having AT&T "re-registering me on the network". Unbelievable that this is a known issue with basic phone functionality that LG and AT&T haven't addressed.
Debloat
I only use regular messaging.
I never have any problems.
I rooted and didn't know of any programs that actually delete or uninstall apps that are stock.
I don't want to disable. I want them gone.
Thanks.

A few bits of information to start.
- I have been on the same ROM and same settings for over a year (including APN)
- I use ChompSMS, but have uninstalled it as part of testing
- I have tested both on and off of WiFI
- I am on StraightTalk
- I used a different APN than what they have on their site, and when this started, I updated to the one they list there now, but the problem remained the same on both options.
Now, my problem, for the past two days, any MMS (I believe based on past history that these are group conversations, not individual MMS messages), are not downloading. Using the built in Messanger application I get an error that it cannot download the message. With ChompSMS, installed, I get the message that it cannot download MMS and to check my APN settings. I tested sending myself an image MMS, and that both sent and got received. Other than that test, I've got nothing the past two days other than that error from Chomp (or nothing from the built in) at the rate of 4-5 times every 30 minutes (the approx rate I'd normally get a message in a group text).
What I have left to try:
- I'm using SMS Backup & Restore to backup my SMS/MMS and then I'm going to wipe out the database and restore my messages
However, anyone have any other ideas what might be wrong or what I can do to fix this?

Do you happen to use PushBullet? If so, uncheck "SMS sync" and reboot. That always causes issues for me.

Unfortunately no. I don't have anything that could have caused this. Since Saturday, I've only updated "Reddit is fun golden platinum", "dolphin browser", and "power toggles" (installed, but never run).
The above was on Sunday
The problem began on Tuesday afternoon.
Prior to that, it was working.

Well I thought I'd ask. That's the only thing that has ever broke MMS for me.

Apparantly I'm not the only straight talk user that has this issue.
Don't know what it is though :\

I'm assuming it is something with Marshmallow and Cricket causing the issue. My Nexus 5 on Cricket won't receive MMS if WiFi is on. If I leave WiFi off, I can receive and send MMS fine. My wife has a Moto X on Lollipop on Cricket and can receive MMS fine with WiFi on.
My situation was very similar to yours in that MMS was working fine for weeks after I upgraded to 6.0. It then just stopped randomly. I still have not found a work around other than disabling WiFi.

That's not the same issue.
This is an issue affecting all (most) of straight talk, and has nothing to do with the phone or the setting.
Wifi on/off doesn't have an effect.
So, it's not a phone issue, just a Straight Talk one.

This is my exact life, please let me know if you figure it out better. I do think Pushbullet was screwing me up too, even just having it installed without SMS sync.
MMS always downloaded fine with Pushbullet installed, but since upgrading to Marshmallow, I haven't been able to download a single MMS on my N5. I'm on T-Mobile, not Straight Talk.
Are you sure it's not related to the more-widespread issue of MMS not working with WiFi on?
EDIT: See here.
Actually having this problem on mine as well now (AT&T). Had auto updates off. Nothing changed to my knowledge. Just not downloading some MMS' in Google Messenger. Some it will download. Standard txt's seem fine? Have a group of about 4 under a user category (this is usually where various threads/contacts are shown in Messenger) "message not found". Then under known contacts, I had 4 labeled as "couldn't download" - "touch to download" - which upon touching, state "downloading"... which at some point fails (like, lots longer later - 10 minutes +, and states the msg size is 709KB?)
Also, just noted the "more-widespread issue of MMS not working with WiFi on". Will investigate this possibility.
edit: my wifi has been off. So, not a culprit with my particular problem.
Yup, standard SMS works, but the only way I can get MMS to work in any client is to cycle WiFi and reboot. It's an enormous bug.
I love this phone for so many reasons, but there are too many times I've sent a SMS (either in Messenger or Honor's stock app, Messaging) and the send fails. If I try again, it'll usually go, but I don't think it should ever happen. Any ideas?

try checking the message center number etc in message settings. Cal your operator to confirm. Might happen when you switch to a new phone.
please read
check message center number if not entered call your service operator and ask for number also check mobile network,
no issue with phone problem is with your sim card
I've had this issue more and more with Android. It is very quick to decide there is no connection and will fail to send. Had this happen many times with both this phone and Nexus 6p.

Yes. Make sure your APN settings on the device match with your service providers. Call them directly to confirm this #. [ns]
I have same issue with Cricket. Huawei support was no help. Basically told me clear the cash and check APN. I use Cricket and there is no option to change it.
I guess I need to stick with Facebook app for messaging

Is that app region specific? I suspect it is and depending on your device version it might conflict.
Was there ever a resolution to this problem? I'm getting the same thing on Fido in Canada with the correct APN, correct message center number and the amount of time to factory reset. And the time it would take me to set everything up again on this phone would take far too long for me to justify a factory reset.
This issue just started today for me, I've had the phone for a while now... Maybe 2 months
I suffered the same problem. I gave up and ended up installing the non-bloated Google's Messenger application to send SMS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging Now I have fully working SMS'.
i have problem in sending sms. SMS NOT SENT appears. actually first time when i was sending an sms then i received an option please tick, to not send, it will cost, and i also tick on another option that KEEP ALWAYS my PRIORITY mean not to send an sms from my phone if it costs. now i cant sms to check my balance or any other information. plz help
So I noticed yesterday that I was having an issue with sending or receiving MMS while on WiFi.
I searched online for a solution and the general consensus is to edit network APN settings. The problem though is that APN settings are grayed out and cannot be edited or added.
In order to send or receive MMS, I have to toggle wifi on/off. I have not callee Verizon tech support yet, planning on it and will update this post but I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experience and would like to share their solution.
Thanks
[Update]
The next day after making this post, I called Verizon. The tech support walked me through a reset of settings and asked to reboot the phone. After following her instructions, the problem persisted. She said she would create a ticket number and follow up with their technical supervisor/support and I should hear from her within three day.
Well today after making the report, I woke up with an updated Galaxy App in my notification. It seemed to have been pushed to my phone the night before. I clicked but nothing opened. So I assumed it's a fix for the MMS issue and immediately composed an MMS and voila, the **** works now. Idk what they did but it is working. I suggest calling tech support and have them deal with it if your aon setting is grayed out.

I am having the same issue on AT&T! what sms app are you using? I am using google messages. mms go through as soon as I turn wifi off. fn annoying!
I glad is not only me (it's mean I am not crazy)
Just got my S8plus 2 days ago, replace broken LG V10 and I notice this problem with all samsung and google message apps, but when I install third party messaging app it's working fine
Any suggestions how to fix
Let's be real. Only happens on Google messages. So, software, fixable, not by Samsung and will be in a Wednesday release this week or next. Not worried.

My default app is Google messenger but I tried it with samsungs and Verizons messaging app, a three failed. I am currently toggling WiFi and hoping someone can figure out a solution. I don't wanna use another third party app
I can send MMS on wifi in stock app. But on Google it dies to work on wifi

Anyone else seeing this? If it set Google Messages as my default text client, I end up having to switch back to the OnePlus client to receive all my texts. Oddly enough some seem to come through, especially if they're not from a short code.
i had 2 things cause this.
If you're using verizon make sure you have the CDMA-less feature provisioned on your line.
And I had to uninstall and reinstall the google messages app after some kinda thing I did broke it randomly.

I've got the CDMA-less feature. I'll try a reinstall and see if it helps.
