Mind helping me here. I thought only one APN setting gets used at a time. What does setting up two apns do?

The second apn is setup as a mms "apn type" only and is used but is not selectable. Its the only thing that worked for me on net10.

nexus 4 at&t straight talk
Hey xda. I don't know where to go anymore for help. I have nexus 4 att sim card with straight talk. I just signed up a week ago and have not been able to receive any mms from anyone. I have been successful with sending mms to certain people so far. I have tried several APN settings and nothing is working including the 'dual' fix in the original post. Just spent an hour with straight talk and we got no where.
One thing that seems to work best is using tfdata under APN. If I use anything else it doesn't seem to work correctly, especially the HSPA signal strength. So I think I've narrowed down using tfdata is the correct way so far. I've tried with/without port 80, changed the mms proxy settings, and basically tried every combination I can think of. I'm at a loss and could use some help.
On a side note, I am using cyanogen mod and loving it so far.

I've been using messaging programs other than stock and they usually have their own MMS APN setting available to you in the settings section. GO SMS Pro and Sliding Messaging both have these settings and I would think you could leave the main APN setting alone and use whatever APN setting works for you within the messaging program itself. I've been using Sliding Messaging and it's been working. Also, make certain if you do use another messaging program, you disable the auto retrieve settings in the stock messenger program.

I wanted to update this in case anyone else is still having problems. I could never get any MMS APN setting to work with ST AT&T sim card. But it's not working and here's what happened.
The first month as a customer I was downloading a lot of new content to get my phone working properly. Most of the time it was over cell data while at work (no wifi). So I racked up a lot of data and hit the 2.5GB limit. I was throttled the last couple days before my month renewed. Then as soon as my month renewed and the data reset, now I am getting all MMS working both outgoing and incoming.
I'm not sure if hitting the 2.5GB ceiling, being throttled, and subsequently getting my data reset helped, but it is quite interesting that it all happened at once. But what I can say is I never changed any APN setting or anything else that would contribute to my MMS working. I can say 100% that the issue was on straight talk's end and something to do with data resets or month rolling over. Anyways, if you are having issues still I would recommend trying to repeat this scenario and see if it works for you.

I discovered the same thing Perez1 was saying to be the cause. When using 3rd party messaging apps, the have their own mms setting in the settings menu. Putting the straight talk mms settings there fixed the issue. Otherwise try only using the native messaging app.

My previous HTC's had that problem with t-mobile too. Just go into the call forwarding settings and change it manually (+1 then your google voice number) or follow the star code at voice.google.com under phones.

Sad thing is I flashed back to stock to try it there and it didn't work.

I'm having the same issues with Google Voice as well, won't change from "My Carrier". I can get it to work by going into the call settings and letting it automatically change the forwarding number to the Google Voice number, but no matter what I do I can't get it to show up as "Google Voice" as my voice mail provider.. It always shows "My Carrier". Google Voice works, but it won't let me "view and listen to messages from notification bar", it'll only let me view and listen to the calls through the app itself. I had no issues with my S3 or LG Optimus G Pro, but the HTC doesn't play friendly with Google Voice
I've tried the following steps:
Deleted and reinstalled the app (several times)
Manually changed the voicemail number
Went to the Google Voice web page on my PC and deactivated and reactivated it
Tried it on 2 different custom ROMs with the same results
Any other suggestions? I really would like to use all the features of Google Voice, but until I can I'll have to decide if I want to use it as a stand alone app (instead of in the notification pull down) or use the At&t Visual Voicemail.

Interesting, if you found a solution to this issue. I has the same issue with GV and wasn't able to find a solution anywhere. GV notifications on voicemail, missed calls do not appear in the notification bar. No voicemail access from call log. From the application itself everything works. But I really miss the integration, like it was working on my SGS 3 and Nexus 4

I never found a fix, I just use it as a stand-alone app. It notifies me I have a voice mail, but doesn't let me play messages from the notification area... I have to go to the app, then it takes 2 or 3 times of hitting play for it to work, I keep it because even with all it's faults, it's still one of the best out there. It worked flawlessly with my Nexus 4, S3, S4 and LG Optimus G Pro. Just has issues with the HTC One... Maybe someday there'll be a fix?

Group MMS (Stock Messaging App)

Hello all,
Today I picked up my Xperia Z1S, however I seem to not be able to find any setting to make a group MMS. I had an HTC One and Nexus 5 that did this with no problem, however the Xperia Z1s seems to have no option for this.
Any advice? I would have to go to the hangouts app (though it is nice) if I can stick with the stock one.
Thank You

Go download 8sms - works awesome for me. I'm running it in standalone mode (stock Messaging disabled).

I use hangouts without any issues.

Unfortunately after downloading, setting it into standalone mode (which assumes there is no other SMS app on the phone anymore, hence one should de-install SMS app from sony. But that doesn't work unless you root the phone.... but no rooting yet possible)
So how did you avoid getting 2 text messages every single time with the same content by having 8sms AND the stock messaging app on the sony experia Z1S ?

It's 2014.. you gotta be kidding. I just got the phone and was absolutely loving it until I started getting separate group messages. Unbelievable. I was holding back on using Hangouts for SMS..

Guys...............this is the answer to your MMS problems. I have the Z3 and the same issue with the crappy stock text app. Textra is fantastic, looks COOLER than stock, and has all sorts of neat extras. (The add-on app that gives you cool iOS emojis that look better than the ones that come stock with Textra can be found here.)
My notes on Textra (please read):
1) ENABLE Stock Messenger app, making sure in "App info" screen (in Settings) that the "Notifications" box is unchecked. (Not sure if unchecking it matters, but I'd do it anyway to avoid double notification of incoming texts.) Also, under Stock Messenger's settings, make sure ALL boxes are unchecked as well. (You can try disabling stock text app if you want, but I don't, so not sure you really should either, but it might still be ok?)
2) In Textra (download this great text SMS/MMS messaging app if you haven't already from Google Play Store), make sure it's your default app, under Settings, "Use MMS for Group Chats" should be checked, MMS Settings: No Limit, and check the T-Mobile Wifi Calling Fix box too. (Post here or PM me if you'd like additional Textra settings suggestions.)
OPTIONAL: IF HAVING ISSUES RECEIVING TEXTS FROM iPHONE USERS WHO HAVE iMessage ENABLED ON THEIR IPHONE, THEN FOLLOW THIS: And lastly, there’s the “iMessage” issue ppl like myself are/were having (also those with LG G2 I’ve heard have this issue too) where when someone with an iPhone sends you an MMS pic text msg while their iMessage option is on, you don’t get the text…….. try this (a T-Mobile store rep told me this and it worked!): send YOURSELF an MMS photo text msg but include at least one other phone # as well too. If you’re using Textra or anything besides just the stock text app, then do this for EACH app. If that is the case, then do it via stock app first then Textra (easier this way). If you receive the pic successfully, then ask anyone you know with an iPhone to send you an MMS message (preferably having a 3rd phone # in on it too, but not sure if you need to) with iMessage ON. If you receive it, then it worked. If not, try this again.
Hope it helps!
P.S. If you're STILL having MMS issues, post here and I have something else I can have you try that I did which worked (it involves going into the Settings and changing a few things around, but it worked for my other MMS issue, which was NOT getting MMS messages from certain ppl!)

Contact Photo Not Showing Up in Hangouts SMS Preview

Anyone else having issues with contact photos in SMS preview since the latest update of Hangouts? Seems none of my contact photos are showing up in SMS preview for both Active Notifications or Notification Preview (swipe down from top). The issue resolves itself temporarily after a reboot, but starts happening again shortly after 1-2 SMS messages.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue on my Droid Maxx although I can't get the issue to resolve after reboot.

I think it may be not possible now.. Not Sure..

Pretty sure it's because they combined hangouts and sms in the same window in the hangouts app. Probably need an update from Google.

I have a same issue too. It's annoying. Either reboot your phone or manually resync your Google contacts. But then after some time the pictures disappear again so it's not a solution.

It seems if you start a hangout message it shows what ever pic the user has on Google+. On my Droid Maxx if I start an SMS it shows the contact pic fine until I switch to Hangouts.

Still having the issue after clearing cache and app data. I'm going to try and downgrade the Hangouts app and see if that helps.

Agreed. I love 8sms. Such a nice feature being able to reply to texts right from the notification bar. Great feature that I wish would be implemented more often (looking at you hangouts)

Yeah it turned out to only work after I initially did it but has reverted back. Very annoying.

I also have a Droid Maxx. This is one of the MOST maddening things to me. I have intentionally and meticulously spent hours making sure that all of my contacts show up with photos. I can't seem to solve this one. Prior to the last update that combined SMS/Hangouts all photos were correct. Now some of my contacts no longer even show the name, just a phone number. When I touch the stock photo it shows the person's photo and their name. No idea how to fix it. Not everyone has Google+ so this is not going to work. I'm giving this app until the next major update with GV being integrated and hoping it's fixed.
Has anyone else come up with a solution?

Glad it's not just me. I finally switched to Hangouts once the most recent updates enabled me to send photos over SMS via Hangouts and not require having a G+ account (I do not). I received a bunch of updates this afternoon and rebooted my phone (Droid Maxx) as I like to do sometimes when I install many updates at once. I now noticed this exact problem.... when I have a text waiting, and if I pull down the Notification Shade, the picture next to the contact is the default grey icon. Yet the contact photo properly shows up in my Contacts in the phone and within the SMS Hangout. Very odd, and annoying. I will try clearing the cache and data and see what happens. If this can't be fixed soon, I'll go back to the default Motorola SMS app.

I just had this issue. It appears that hangouts is using the google plus photo when you have a hangout, so there is an issue for only google hangouts photos.
I force closed the app and it fixed it. Try that out.

Note 3 900a on cricket can't receive mms

I have an unlocked galaxy note 3 (at&t version) that I put on cricket 2 weeks ago. Everything works perfect with one exception. I cannot reliably receive mms messages. Voice and data are perfect. It will send and receive sms without fail. It will even send every mms I attempt send but for some reason it will not receive all mms coming in. As a matter of fact it misses most of them but occasionally one or two come through. The phone is unlocked. It is NOT rooted. I have not received a configuration message but I have entered the apn settings on their website and have checked them over and over but no luck. Any ideas? Thank you!

Get on with cricket chat. They are very helpful in getting things sorted. They may need to add your device to their database or even have you adjust some settings. Here are my APNs that came with the config messages when I put my SIM in my new phone.

sometimes in the messaging application setting there is a tweak for MMS messages. Like you have to be on mobile date and not Wifi or something like that. Take a look at the settings.

I used the apn settings shown above and am using textra where I was able to manually enter the apn settings in the messaging app and so far it is pretty much working. It didn't want to get mms from my Verizon phone very consistently but other phones are sending to it fine. I'll go back over everything and make sure there's no typos but so far it's better anyway. Thank you!

put your sim in another phone until the 3 text messages come through. put it back in you gn3 and the the 3 text's and the 2 configs should download
