this is hit or miss: sending an MMS using the stock messaging app will sometimes show my sent MMS, and more often than not, not show the MMS. i only noticed when someone replied to one, and the MMS wasn't even in the thread.
gmail issue seems similar, but may be wholly unrelated. i was trying to attach pictures through gmail, and it kept showing my pics as there, but the thumbnails are different pics than the ones i have attached. ?!?!?!?!
sending an MMS w/ accompanying text shows up in the texting threads. sending a picture w/out text does not show up in the thread

I'll admit that I don't use group messages or MMS (just regular text messages), so this one has me baffled.
I can send and receive regular individual text messages just fine. No problems there.
However, my supervisor, who is using an iPhone, sends out group text messages. Those come to me as 1K MMS messages (with a "Download" button in GoSMS Pro, or a "Downloading..." icon in stock Messaging). When I click on the "Download" icon in GoSMS Pro, it just sits and spins ad infinitum, and never turns into a message.
How do I get incoming group text messages to display properly?
Is this an APN issue, a messaging client issue, or a system setting issue?
Thanks in advance.
I've been having a lot of problems with MMS since picking up the Active and switching to AT&T.
I usually use Handcent, but right now it's pretty worthless when it comes to group messages or receiving a picture. in both the stock messaging app and Handcent settings I have it set to group messages, and to automatically download. when I receive an MMS, though, I still have to click on download (and they won't download at all in Handcent even after clicking).
say I receive a group text from someone and 3 other people respond. both apps now display 4 different entries, one for each person. if I open each individual's thread and click download (again just in the stock app) the messages will be removed from that individual's thread and then be added to a group thread.
this is pretty frustrating, and I really want it solved. is this an AT&T issue (I was on VZW riding the Droid train before) or something with the phone?
a little update on this:
sending of MMS is also way less than ideal, either not sending at all, or taking a really really long time. I tried to send a picture earlier and it took 40 minutes before it finally went through. my searching of the interwebs leads me to believe it's perhaps an APN issue? it would be strange if the default settings out of the box prevent it from working, though. anyone else have an issue with this?
MMS is horrible for me on Handcent, too. I have to open the stock Messaging app just to download an MMS and sometimes that doesn't work, either. I also tried AT&T Messages, but it won't ever even setup correctly.

Has anyone had issues sending gifs with the stock sms app? My wife sends them to me with her G2 no problems. I can view them in the sms app no problems and even see them in my gallery. But when I try to send them they only come up as still pics.
subscribing bc I also want to know
When I send photos using the stock messaging app or handcent the photos a very compressed and look terrible on the receiving end. Anyone experience this and is there a fix?

Try using Hangouts.

Thanks for the input, but sorry not an option for me, hangouts is trash imo. Really would rather handcent or stock mms. To ask again, any else experience very compressed almost pixilated photos when sending mms?
Any other suggestions, like a build.prop edit or something?
Go Pro SMS has some specific options for Multimedia MMS settings, and if you attach an image it prompts for conversion and sizes. I can't find the same things for the default Messages app.
There are some tweaks available via the XPosed Framework, too like blocking SMS to MMS messages
*** Correction I'm running the Unity ROM and I'm no longer prompted for the MMS image conversion and it's a very big compression.
hello all,
i've been trying to setup facebook messenger as my default text messaging app (meaning sms and mms). i seem to have no trouble sending out and receiving sms messages, but i do not receive mms messages that others send to me, and when i send one out to others, it appears for a split second, then disappears. my app defaults show facebook messenger as the default sms app.

This is an old post, so I hope you found a solution for it. I'm having the same issue an I found if you send it with text or the person sending it includes text it shows up. That's the only fix for it I've found.

On Facebook messenger you can't, but on other sms apps you can. Like on gosms you can include text with the pic which stops it from disappearing. I wouldn't recommend gosms cuz of the ads. I just have an old copy from Titanium back up that I use with no ads. Besides that you have to stick to the sms that comes with it or go with a good sms with no ads an just include text with the pic, unfortunately a person sending you an mms without text, the pic will just dissappear.
