Hello,
I am having issues with my Telus HTC One. I have been using it for a week and am able to send MMS pictures without issue, however I am unable to receive pictures. I am new to Android so maybe I am missing a setting. I am using Chomp SMS and have disabled all notifications and "auto receive" in the stock SMS app and have turned those settings on in ChompSMS.
However when I am sent a picture it just shows a message "Multimedia Message. Message size: xxxKb" and a button to download. When I click the button a little wheel shows up and spins for a bit but then disappears and never displays the image. I have no idea why. Even if I switch over to the stock app it shows the same thing and responds the same way.
What can I do to fix this? I am beyond annoyed at this point. If it matters, I bought my HTC One new from Telus, locked to them and purchased an unlock code online. I have also rooted the phone but am running the stock software. I looked in the "Access Point Names" and the settings match when I found on the Telus website.
I have a screenshot but am not able to post a direct link

Same happened to me. If your phone is set up like mine, like being rooted, you probably have ADB installed. Uninstall ADB, maybe try using AdAway instead, but I haven't tested AdAway yet.
Revert your APN settings back to the default
Uninstall ADB
Restart your phone.

I'm not sure if you meant Adblock Plus by ADB or not but that is what I uninstalled and now it works again. Thanks so much.
Problem solved.

Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!

PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.
Bump, anyone able to help me? Any devs want to weigh in?

Yes it does.
To op. It's a custom rom feature.

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.
Anyone else?

Thanks, but yeah I tried that one, negative....it can't be this hard!! Anyone know where it would be located? Build.prop? Settings.db? ?!?
I think this app works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock
Just intalled it and proceded to a full unlock. Requires root.
Device said the operation is a complete success and needed a reboot to apply all modifications which I just did.
If I don't have the limit, I will come back to confirm this app works.
Hope it works !!!

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.
So? Did it work?

So? Did it work? I think not, but your promised update would be appreciated.
I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far
Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.
Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:

Yes, SMS Limit Unlock did work. Right above your post I said that I sent out about 200 messages with no issues. Some ROMs like BeanStalk, by the way, have SMS limit settings.
Hey ! I have a Lg G3 rooted but it doesn't work for me ....
I have CM but want unlimited back on android 6.01
So I temporarily unlocked my phone as I am currently on vacation in Europe. I am currently on Orange PrePay and I'm not sure if it is related, but ever since I left the US and unlocked through T-Mobile my battery life has been completely awful (7 hour stand by time.) the culprit is Com.tmobile.pr.adapt which has gotten as high as 35% battery usage. What can I do beside resetting the phone to factory? I don't want to lose all my apps as I don't have the bandwidth to re-download them. Thanks for your help guys
Try disabling it in Settings > Apps.
If it won't let you and you have access to a computer, try using Debloater to block it.
If you don't have a computer, there's probably a way to do it in Terminal on the phone, but you'll have to dig around for the instructions.
That package is part of the T-Mobile my account app, so perhaps disabling or blocking it would help too.

Indeed, you will need to use the debloater tool to block it. You can't disable it otherwise... It didn't hit my battery so much as OP however it caused mobile data to be enabled even though I had disabled it as I was using WiFi and was causing battery drain..

It's amazing how the carrier software is so bad it's ruining the phone. The good news is two dev teams have root now and both seem to be able to root all variants and possibly all software versions!
Glad it worked for you!
Debloater has the warning message on the T-Mo G4 variant,
so how is anyone claiming a "blocked" app or android component when it's not possible?
Blocked and Hidden are two different things, right ?
LOL

I don't think it's that cause I already had it disabled. I was able to freeze it using sdmaid, but don't know it's importance or why it's asking for root rights...
I rooted mine today and then used Titanium Backup to freeze it. Just use the search in TB to find it.
you need to freeze / delete myaccount. i did this without root and that app no longer runs and depletes my battery. you can disable with the debloater, or search for adb commands to do so. since i did that im currently at 22 hours on battery with 15% left (2h 16m Screen On Time).
I had the exact same problem as the OP. It was not an issue until i unlocked and roamed with the phone to another country and my battery would drain like crazy. It was driving me mad until i found what was causing this and then this thread.
It seems that this process constantly wakes up the phone, connects to mobile data, even when on wifi, and sends some info out. Evert few seconds, killing the phone's battery.
I keep getting this.
It keeps poping up but doesnt show up in battery stats

I have the same battery/T-Mobil app issue, but I can't seem to get the Debloater app to recognize my G4. When I run the app it just has a black screen with no info in the fields. No pop-ups and no errors that I can see. What can I be doing wrong?

Just go here and make sure you install a rooted version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/h81110n-stock-rooted-image-t3191038

What do you see at the bottom of the debloater window on your computer? do you have adb enabled on your phone? is your phone unlocked? If you see connected did you click the button in the top left that says "click here to begin/read device packages"
That app is constantly requesting root permissions because of the Phone status check. T-Mobile thinks that rooting the phone Messes the phone up.
In the app theres an area where the application analyzes the phone to tell you what's his status. Giving it root permissions would likely explode the phone with notifications

I just recently upgraded the rom on my phone to MM Chroma (from LP Chroma), After doing so, I'm no longer getting notifications from text messages. I use Textra for my app. I did install Messenger and set it to default, which seems to work. I've never had this problem before so I don't know exactly where the fault lies. I've checked to make sure I have a notification tone set in both system settings and Textra Settings and my volume is up. Does anyone have ideas of what else I should be looking at?
I did also start using Greenify, Amplify, and Smart Network after installing MM. I don't think I have anything picked in these that would be preventing sounds (Textra is not set to hibernate in Greenify).

I would remove greenify and see if that helps. To be honest it is useless in MM now with so many things being tied together. I have no issues with textra at all.

I removed Greenify and Amplify which didn't do it (I assume removing them is sufficient, without needing to clear the settings first). I did also update to the latest Textra that came out today. Still no sound or vibration on messages.

No you might have to remove the settings. Also I would remove all 3rd party sms apps as they could interfere with it As Textra doesnt use the default sms data base that all the other sms apps use. Have others installed has been known to cause issues like MMS not sending and notification issues as they intercept the intent before textra can get to it.

Wait you removed the stock messaging app?
Is textra set as your default sms app in the settings?
On MM, I've used Textra from the start. Messenger wasn't included in my GApps (or Rom, not sure where it is usually included). I installed it today to see if it got sounds -it did- and then removed it. I did just install it again (with Textra still set as default) to see if Textra would work. Didn't make any difference.

Might not be a bad idea to make a backup and try another rom. I have never used that rom myself but in all the roms I have used I have never had an issue with textra....Well that is notification based.
Is anybody else having issues with live Message? When I try to draw anything, it'll work for around 1 second, then it'll freeze up and crash. I've tried clearing the app data and cache, even going as fast as completely wiping my phone, but I still have the same issue.
It seems that it'll always freeze around the same spot on the time bar, so if I draw with my finger (which makes that bar go by more slowly" it'll let me draw a little bit longer.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Here is a video of what is happening:

I'm using the unlocked variant. Could this possibly be hardware? It persists through a factory reset, but maybe it has something to do with my backup.
I have the AT&T version. No problem creating them. However, I can't send them via MMS. Whatsapp seems to be able to send them just fine. I'm guessing it's a size limit thing.

Could be. I would go into a unlocked thread and see if it's only you... Of it is try a reset with no back up and see if it persist.
So I've been doing a little more testing and it seems like ALL 3D renders will crash out.

Textra has always had issues with images and MMS, so I'm not surprised it failed.
textra
so you cats would not recommend textra over stock note 8 text app?
The stock messaging app is rubbish. It's too basic and by default, it will send any text as an MMS if you dare to put even a simple emoji in there. There have been complaints for years that people are getting extra charges on their bills because of this. Now Textra is a fantastic fully loaded messaging client and I have never had any issues. It's even fully compatible with the Gear S3. I don't know about Live Message compatibility I don't really send pictures via SMS but the developers would likely look into it.
