Texts not sending / receiving. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

So recently, most of my texts haven't been sending /receiving. It's pretty random, and sometimes it works, but the last couple of days it's been really buggy.
Anything I should try?

What messaging app are you using? Have you altered the APN settings at all? Is it SMS? MMS? Both?

using the default SMS app. NO, haven't messed with anything.

Besides rebooting your device, you could call T-Mobile ask them about it. Could be a network problem

happens ALL the time for me in nyc over the last two months. what fixed it for the most part for me is switching to 2g/3g and forget LTE. :-/

Yeah it could just be a network problem. I was having issues the other night with MMS (serious lag and then a flood of incoming messages). Hope you can get it worked out!

SMS/MMS Blocker app??

Is there an app that can block/hold all MMS and SMS messages? Or a toggle switch app to turn off all notifications/led for MMS and SMS? I could of sworn I seen something like this before, it let you create profiles I think.
Thanks
'missed call' ???
you can try SmartBlock by spbase inc.-(for both sms or call)
or my much prefered SmartSMS-(sms only)by cnemsolution.
both works well in blocking sms. But i didnt tried it if it will work on mms.

Cannot receive MMS messages

Hey guys I just got an HTC Vivid a few days ago and I love the phone, the screen is such an upgrade from my iPhone 4(in usability).
I do have an issue where I cannot receive any MMS messages at all. I can send them just fine and I can sent receive regular texts, but picture messages just come up with a download button but once pressed it will say downloading and switch back to saying download.
I already called AT&T about it and they where unable to do anything about it. Any ideas? If I do not get this figured out by Monday, I will likely try to exchange my phone...
Make sure you have a LTE data plan provisioned and you have selected the default apn. Also you may want to go into a corp store and get a new sim.

i had this problem about 1.5 weeks ago and it was a network issue... it was resolved within a day or 2... what usually worked for me was to reboot the phone, after ATT fixed the problem then all was good.
It was indeed an issue with the default APN settings. After setting the APN to what is described in the link below my MMS works 100% perfectly! Thanks for the help.

How does one make changes to the APN settings? Mine are locked and greyed out.

I don't have Vivid in front of me ATM but maybe you can try and create a new APN instead of modifying the existing one.
Yes you can press the options button and create a new APN.
Sorry for the bump of a thread. This is what I get. "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal".
Sender was using an iphone 4. I can receive other pictures from my friends 4s.
Would updating the AP fix this and would doing so effect anything with the network?
Sorry I am a noob.

I've had this same issue when I was sending a picture to a friend with an iPhone 4. That's the message they received when trying to open the MMS.

[Q] Send vCard via SMS doesn't work

can't seem to send vCard via native People app. Only Dialer One works.
Is there a setting I've missed?

well we can see on your screenshot that your signal strength is 0/5, pretty normal that you can't not send mms with poor signal.

can you also see that WiFi Calling is engaged?
and, as I said, I have no problem when using Dialer One.
But thanks for your input. Must be cold up there.

MMS

Anybody having issues sending and receiving MMS via WiFi?
Just curious - are you using the stock messaging app, or something else?
I'm coming from an LG G2, and spent a few months working with support to finally determine I couldn't use a non-stock app and still send MMS over wifi. I miss Handcent, but switching back to the stock app did the trick. I don't know if that's true with the S6, but would guess it is.

Using stock messenger app. I tried tweaking the APN according to what others were recommending on older gen Galaxys by selecting IPv6/IPv4 but still not able to get MMS to work over wifi.

Problems sending sms

Hi, how are you guys? I have the following problem. When I go to send a SMS, the message it wasn't show into the send SMS, and it wasn't sent. I have stock ROM 5.1.1 with ElementalX
I didn't notice the error before, I installed the ROM again on Saturday, and I saw the issue today when I tried to send a SMS.
Anybody else got this problem?

Check your APN settings are correct, sounds like you are missing something.

The aPN settings are ok. The problem looks that it's in the application. When I press send, the sms don't show up in the screen or there wasn't sended.
Just in case I deleted all the APN settings, and reinstalled all again, but the problem persist.
It's possible reinstall only the sms app?
The rom it's LMY48M.

Try installing Handscent or chomper and see if you get the same result. If your using the stock messenger, you can disable it and uninstall the updates but not uninstall the app.

In your apn settings check to make sure you have the correct mms proxy and mms port, also check your apn type mine is default,mms,supl but best to google the settings for your provider

Yes, the APNs are ok. I have two. One for Internet and another for MMS. I did a "Reset to default" and the information for each APNs are the same as the provider.
I had few problems with sms before as well and I just installed a different sms app (like Google Messenger) and made it default one. Everything worked fine after and it usually even looks better.

I can't see it being the kernel, I was running the same one but I flashed back to the stock one. Never had a problem sending sms on either though to be honest. Did you check your providers website to make sure it isn't on their end? Also can you receive texts?

Yes, the most strange it's that I can receive sms, for that reason today I realized of this issue. I received a sms and when I was to reply, I couldn't.
The kernel it's stable. I used it before and I could send a sms.
I hate to say it but maybe factory reset? clear both cache... if that isn't it..... reflash with stock kernel and see if that does it..... just dont flash userdata so you dont loose anything.... it sure sounds like a settings problem though... who is the provider?
Are you using Hangouts? I had this problem and then switched over to Messenger and its all good now. Might be a totally different issue, but maybe worth a shot.

Yes, I think so, but I don't want to jaja. I will try to go back to the stock kernel, and if that doesn't work, yes I will do a factory reset.

I disable Hangouts, but the problems still persist. You go to Apps > Hangouts and disable it? o you did something else?

So, it isn't that. neither the kernel. I have to do a factory reset. I will try with a TWRP BackUp, and if does not work, then I will do it.
I did a factory reset, and the problem was solved. Thanks to all!!!!
