Anyone else having issues with group SMS from my verizon phone going out as multiple individual texts despite the check box under group texts checked in settings?
Temporarily switched to textra- bit ugly compared to stock. I thought this was just an att issue

If the other phone isn't capable or options disabled, be it SMS or mms, it does this.
Ahhh. But it works on their phone when I send via textra

At the top of the default app, make sure group conversation is selected and not individual text messages.

i've searched and have tried multiple solutions, but can't figure it out...
what APN settings are working best for you c6606/tmo guys, specifically for mms? half the time i'll get "message not downloaded" when i'm a part of a group text/mms or when someone's trying to send me a picture. sometimes everything will populate hours later, sometimes not at all. i've tried a couple different APNs i've found online but this issue happens with the both of them.
as far as sms (well, mms) group texts go, i noticed this earlier today. a friend sent a group text/mms to five of us - me being the only android user. i noticed that all of THEIR responses would come and populate that single group text/mms/thread. when i would reply, however, my standard messaging app would send an individual sms/text to each of them and NOT into the group text/mms/thread. is that normal behavior for the standard sony messaging app? if so...horrible design. lol
if it matters, i'm running a 4.2.2 c6603 .423 and experience no other issues.

thanks for that! and are you using LTE preferred? i noticed that after i switched to wcdma preferred/gsm, i had NO problem sending and receiving mms! my down speed was about the same as before (when using LTE preferred), 14-15Mbps...weird! it looks like there's a problem switching from LTE to wcdma when LTE reception isn't the best...

Finally got mine just a little bit ago, did a search on our in the General Sub-Forum for any threads on this so figured I would start it. Pretty stable so far for me.
Are you able to send and receive MMS? I still can't..

This is the 3rd update since support for SMS and MMS. I have yet to be able to send or receive MMS on neither of my devices

haven't had any issues yet, slower than using stock app but still goes through for ME. Takes around 4-5 minutes to round trip send myself one and receive it.

Same here. It's pretty slow.
A good way to get any of the MMS to send almost as fast as it does in stock messaging app is to attempt to send the MMS and you can immediately make a call or AirPlane Mode or Mobile Data toggle it and then hang up or disable AirPlane Mode or Enable Mobile Data and it'll send much quicker. The phone call method only when on 3G though, not LTE
How is the interaction with google voice? I frequently dont receive messages using GV integrated on sprint.
Hangouts took control of the voicemail on my phone after I enabled SMS. Instead of getting a voicemail notification I received a text saying I had a message.

It's ok. Full integration won't be until May 2014 though.

Were you able to figure out how to disable that sms voicemail? I'd rather use the visual voicemail that came with HTC One.
No, I had to undo sms with hangouts.

I was having the same problem. Download System Panel lite from the play store. Open GV then press back. Open System Panel and tap on GV in the list then tap exclude. This will stop the service from being flushed.
The problems i have with MMS is that it has to be on 3G to send. Otherwise (if i am on 4G or Wifi) it wont send.
I currently have a mod to enable MMS on wifi with the stock app, that also takes the compression off.
Also. It wont send SMS when roaming. I need to be on sprint.
Do you guys expreience this too? Or is it just all the mods i have affecting my phone?
Not Sure But..
Theres an Stock Messaging app in the play store that does SMS over Wifi.
Its basically the CM messaging app with some extra goodies.
Its called 8SMS
id supply a link but XDA isnt letting me post a link since im new. Sigh
Hangouts is terrible with mms/ group messaging

This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?

This has been asked in other places for other phones, but I've never seen this answered. Here's the scenario:
1. I receive a group text normally
2. I respond to the group text a few times and it works fine as a group text
3. I respond again to the same group text and it suddenly sends my message to each person individually
This is maddening! I am using a VZ Moto Maker. Still on 4.4 cuz I don't want to ruin root. Using Handcent, but I've experienced this with stock app as well.
Any ideas?

You can use Hangouts, it works for groups.

I'll give Hangouts a try. Hopefully it will solve this. Thanks. I wish Hangouts had the popup notification like Handcent.
Talk to verizon. Group messages are sent as mms witch uses the data side of your phone. It could just be a sim card or settings issue on there side. Are you getting all of the picture messages you are sent and do your picture messages send without issue?

Chroma, Verizon. Textra or evolvesms.
OK so it seems when I use a third party app I can't seem to send a MMS on WiFi or group text on WiFi. Messenger app seems to work but not liking limited features. I've added the MMS to my apn to see if that was wrong but I'm still unable to send pic message on WiFi. Is anybody have this issue?

Verizon sends all MMS through data server. Always been that way. There used to be a hack to force it over wifi. Not sure if can be done now or not.
Do you remember the hack?
