[Q] Change message center number?

Anyone know how to change the message center number on a Moto X?
I have an AT&T Moto X that I ported to straight talk. Everything ported fine for phone calls, data and MMS. However I can't send or receive SMS.
ST said I need to double-check the message center number and gave me the number that it should be...I just can't find a way to check it on a Moto X. Past Android phones had this option under messaging settings, and the *#*#4636#*#* trick that worked on other phones doesn't work either.

Thanks for the sarcasm, I already posted that the option is not under Messaging settings. I have an AT&T Moto X, so it's possible that T-Mobile versions enable it but my guess is that documentation is wrong.

For anyone else in the same boat as me, GoSMS has an option under Advanced settings to change the SMSC if you need to.
In any case my Moto X started sending and receiving texts 6 hours or so after the number port to Straight Talk went through. Just had to wait.

Are you in the middle / at the end of a carrier port? In my case AT&T was holding onto my texts and didn't release them until the next day.

From the messaging app (make sure you not inside of a message) click the menu button then click settings..at the top click the middle button that says SMS/MMS

Yes thats really odd, I didn't purchased this phone from official dealers or store, I have checked and its not a Fake Note 3 but this is something weird.
How could I check is it custom ROM or not? maybe its because of ROM ? but in "about device" everything looks official

The AT&T version cannot be flashed right now due to a locked bootloader. Therefore it is impossible to have a custom ROM installed without it running Safestrap which you would see at bootup if it was as it would ask which ROM you wanted to boot with. The CUSTOM lock simply means you are rooted and nothing else. You do not have a special phone or anything.

Galaxy J SC-02F
Hello ,
I have a Galaxy J from DoCoMo Japan wich is very close to the Note 3 features , bought it on the online market ,
was not rooted and region locked . I've manage to root the device and to region unlock it with Chainfires unlock app ,
now its working on Europe and even with LTE. Conversations , SMS and mobile data.
But I don't have MMS options in the stock message app , don't have video call in the stock ROM dialer and don't have
any Delivery reports options in the Message settings screen .
My screen looks exactly as the sent picutres on the previous page , but without the MMS options.
The ROM is the stock DoCoMo ROM where I've managed with titanium backup to freeze all the crap. (about 28 usless system apps)
Hints , tips , advices would be welcome.
Thank you.

Did this ever get resolved?
Did this ever get resolved? I am having this same issue in August 2016. This is with my Samsung S6 phone running Android 6.0.1.

How to remove SMS limit in Marshmallow?

Hey guys, I've recently switched over to a Nexus 6 from a Note 4, and have run into an issue with sending text messages under Marshmallow. I often send a reminder text to a good-sized group of people, and when I send it I get a warning from Android that Textra is sending a large number of messages. It then asks if I want to allow or deny the messages. I'd like to disable this behavior, but all of the instructions I've found on how to do so are for older versions of Android and don't work under Marshmallow.
So, any ideas of how to disable this behavior? I'm unlocked and rooted, just don't know where to look...Thanks for any help you can offer!

If you look at the popup there is an option to never show this again. Check that. Other then that it cant be gotten around. It is an anti spam/Security measure set in by google.

EDIT - Misread the OP.

It looks like I may have cracked the code on this issue and found a solution for my device.
Here's what has worked for me on my Galaxy S4 running a custom AOSP Rom. I don't know if this works on the nexus 6. Try this!
1.) Download Terminal Emulator or some other Terminal App
2.) Open Terminal app and grant SU either by prompt or by typing "su" as a command
3.) After SU access is acquired in Terminal Emulator/app type:
settings put secure sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms 0
4.) Reboot!
Let me know if this works for you!

It will still be blocked by the carrier as it is a 2 step deal. First the device blocks it and then the carrier also flags large amounts as spam. We had the same issue and had to go to a messaging app to get around the limit.

Some carriers may block it but AT&T does not. I was using a CM ROM that had it unlocked and I've been sending messages to 200 people at a time. This mod is now working for me on ROMs that do not have it unlocked. YMMV

If it is working then their spam blocker is not working as it should. The blocker was added a few years ago when I was working for ATT and we had to explain it to business users about the limit and advised them to switch to a messaging program.

In that case, I am glad they are not using their spam blocker! I've been using unlocked CM ROMs for years which has allowed me to send broadcast messages to my 200+ member sales team. This mod is now allowing me to use a locked AOSP ROM that I've wanted to use for a very long time. After unlocking sms, I can now send as many messages as I want without getting that annoying pop-up warning. WIN!

You can ask but they will most likely deny that it is there or just flat out refuse. It is a security thing and thankfully it is in place or we would have spamming sms like the rest of the world does.
As for a messaging program I mean something like Telegram, hangouts or something of that nature.

Unfortunately, it looks like the method I posted is not actually working. Messages sent above 30 were not actually being sent. Oh well... back to using my custom CM 13 based ROM that has increased the sms limit to 200 per minute. It's not totally unlocked but at least I can send more than 30 messages at once without being annoyed by the confirmation prompt. Bummer!

Anyone found a solution to this issue ?

Unfortunately, the only real solution I've found is to use a ROM that provides an option to increase or eliminate the SMS limit.

Use Allo, Skype, or Viber. Text message is a dying race anyway.

That depends on where you live. In the states sms is still very widely used unlike the apps you mentioned.

If your device is supported, try flashing a custom ROM like Team OctOS (this is the one I'm using) or Cyanide M which has the limit removed.

This seems fairly odd that there wouldn't be a fix for Marshmallow... I mean, if a custom ROM can implement it, why couldn't a code edit somewhere resolve the issue? I understand that it could be limited on the carrier side, but speaking as someone who likes to occasionally mess with friends using an sms bomber on Verizon, I don't think they do THAT much limiting... Other carriers obviously might be different. Still, I don't understand why it can't be resolved at the phone level at least.

I am currently using another custom ROM created by @side called Optimized CM13 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 where he also removed the SMS limit. Maybe he can provide some answers to your questions. I agree it would be nice if there were an easy way to remove the limit on any ROM you chose.

T-Mobile DIGITS

Anyone activated DIGITS and tried out the app on S8 yet?
If so, what are your impressions and annoyance?

I signed up for the beta back when it started, just put it on my Verizon iPhone 7 (work) and it works flawlessly.

On the S8 there is no additional app needed, it's all integrated into the stock ROM. The dialer and SMS apps let you choose which line you want to call or text from. It also tells you what device made a call. Works flawlessly.

Yep, i was on unbranded firmware which was missing the Multilines settings, so flashed back to official TMO firmware and now everything is seamless without a hitch. Enjoying DIGITS although I don't have plan to carry 2 numbers.

Where are you guys finding the multilines setting? I have an S8+.

My apologies. I should have included the fact that there is a known issue with the location of those settings on the S8/S8+. Another manager in my district activated Digits, rebooted his S8+ and the Multi Line settings disappeared. I along with him & others have reported it to the Digits team and apparently there is an OTA update coming to address it. In the mean time they've suggested using the Digits app for those having issues.
I'm on the AQC9 with all updates blocked and it's working flawlessly so I'm not sure where the issue resides

I have the s8 and the gear s3 and digits works fine without a problem didn't have to set up anything on the phone. I have 2 lines one for me and one for the wife.

I just wish I could put my S3 line into digits.

Ok I work for T-Mobile and I know how to make the digits multi line setting appear. It's a process though so get ready.
First you have to log in to the T-Mobile app. So if yoiu don't have it or deleted it download it again from Play Store. Log in and hit the menu button > usage and plans. You should see a button that says to unlock digits. Click it.
A message will then appear telling you multi line has been added. But you need to restart your phone for it to show up. It will be in clouds and account in settings.
I can't upload any screenshots as mines is activated already and the button goes away. But after thatnjust sign in to your t-mobile account.
Now FYI!!!!
You need to have someone registered as the PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER ON MY.T-MOBILE.COM BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTIVATE YOUR DIGITS NUMBER AND PUT IT IN. IT SENDS A REQYEST TO THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER TO ALLOW THE NUMBER TO BE USED ON THAT DEVICE! IF NOT YOU WILL GET STUVK WITH A "WAITING FOR APPROVAL " MESSAGE FOREVER AND HAVE TO LOG OUT AND STSRT THIS WHOLE PROCESS OVER. ADDED A PAH AFTER WON'T SEND AN APPROVAL TEXT.

I know, two months late here, but I'm wondering if you ever got that figured out. I've done the same with an AT&T phone (TMB/TMB/ATT) and can't get the multi-line to enable. Using Shortcut Master I can get the Multi-line config to launch, but trying to sign-in to my account just gets me a screen that says "Updating Multi-line settings... Please try again later."

Hey, yeah I did manage to get it to work. Had the same issue, using Nova I could get to the multiline settings but no options actually worked. I ended up swapping my sim into an actual T-Mobile phone that has digits integration (S7 edge), then unlocking it on their website for Digits to work, and then swapped it back, and I got the little popup saying that multiline was enabled. Seems like the sim has to be provisioned.

I like the Digits Apps for Windows and MacOS. Its like having iMessage. The only issue I've had is that text sent from the PC don't show up on my phone. Still nice though I can send and receive text on the PC. I can also make and take phone calls.

How To - Google Dialer VVM Activation Steps - YMMV

Ok so I'm posting this because we started to get off topic in the other thread, not because I think you will find it useful lol.
Basically the steps I will outline will trigger your Google Dialer to try and activate VVM. If you are on Sprint like me, all it will do is add the voicemail tab. I've seen posts from others that say the app does import all of their current Voicemails but no new ones after that. Maybe that is carrier specific or maybe if you are signed up for VVM through your carrier it works, I don't personally know.
Anyway, here we go.
What you'll need:
1- A rooted device - I'm guessing this will work on all devices not just our V30s but I haven't tested elsewhere. Feel free to provide feedback if you see this and try it on other phones, and then maybe this post can move to general Android instead of V30.
2- Google dialer installed - mine has been converted to a system app, and I'm part of the beta, so I can update through play store. I am also running magisk modules that may be allowing all of this to happen, such as xml pack, Google framework, and some others. Shout out to their respective devs, thank you.
3 - The app Shortcut Master which is available as a paid app on play store.
4 - some patience because this literally only works sometimes for unknown reasons. Maybe we can narrow down the failure rate with some trial and error but for now I can't tell you why it works sometimes and other times nada. The upside is, there seems to be no I'll effects from trying and failing.
Tldr.
You need root, Google dialer (maybe as as a system app) and the app Shortcut Master to get this done.
You should probably Force close the Google dialer app before you start so the settings take hold. Not sure if you have to, but shouldn't hurt to do it.
Step one:
Open shortcut master. Click search and enter the word "voicemail"
Step two:
You'll see lots of results. Ignore them all and scroll down to ones under the Phone App. Find VoicemailSecretCode and click launch. (I guess you could also just search that instead of just Voicemail)
Step 3:
You'll see a white screen with two options.
Sync
VVM config override < click this one.
Step 4:
Press the top option titled "load current"
You'll see it change some of the fields. This is just pulling in the current config and since you don't have much going on, very little should change.
Step5
Click the Override toggle.
Input your phone number (see pics)
Press back once when done.
Step 6
You should back to the white page with the two options again. This time press sync.
That's it. I'm not sure what makes this work since sometimes it doesn't. If you're hasn't updated with the voicemail section, try power cycling and relaunching dialer. If that doesn't work, clear the cache. If it still doesn't work you can try clearing all data, Force closing,and then following the steps again.
Now you should have the voicemails tab. It will try and activate for a while by sending you a provisioning text. It is going to send this text alot at first so be warned as I don't know if it's a free text (do people still have limited texts??)
You will now have a bit more options in your settings menu under Voicemail, however since it never provisions (or at least mine doesn't) the added options are not accessible.
Enjoy your extra tab of nothingness lol.
Feel free to throw around some thanks

Is that part of your phone number? Or did it load that and you entered your number with it?

I will just say I've only gotten it fully working on the US998 roms (I haven't tried the steps here yet). So it's very possible some carrier branded roms have stuff that mess with apps accessing voicemails, at least ones that use the carrier's database, not 3rd party ones with their own servers like youmail or Google voice. Maybe because some carriers charge for any kind of visual voicemail. Verizon does for the premium transcribing version. Just my 2 cents. I'll see if following this stuff helps me get it working on the vs996 rom I'm on now and report back if I do.

Phone number.
Curious, Where did you get your port info?
Also, noted that your preloaded part of the VVM ends with CVVM while mine is Omtp. Possibly because tmo supports vvm and Sprint is carrier blocked to their own severs???
Have you received some activation texts since reconfiguring? And have any Voicemails loaded?

Since you mentioned Google Voice, I figured it would be a good chance to start the conversation about GV, Sprint, a possible VVM workaround, and a theory I have....
I am sure that someone out there has to know the proper info/settings/specs that would allow us to bypass carrier VM and instead pull from Google Voices VVM service. Or at least I think we can all figure it out through some trial and error.
Right now I have all of my missed calls sent to GV. This allows me to ignore Sprints annoying VM service and paid VVM. All calls bypass sprints VM and instead the message gets transcribed by GVs VVM service. There must be a way to find out what GV ports and packages need to be set and in place in order to tell the dialer to read from there. I've already tried inputting my GV number instead of my Sprint # but all that does is change where the activation texts are sent.
From what I can tell, the Google dialer does not have some VVM server of it's own that it can call on. Nothing in the manifests or code that I could find. It basically only has the ability to piggy back off of a carriers server and relay it into the app as a duplicate (think pop3 / imap).
I believe this is the case because I've seen people post that their dialer absorbed all of their current VVMs but wouldn't find new ones. This probably means that the app is pointed to the place that Vvm are stored either on the device on their carriers server, but they won't get new ones because the app is not authenticated pull data.
So if we can find someone whose Google Dialer pulled in their current batch of VVM and see what their settings look like, we can see what it's pointed at in order to read that data one time and transfer it in. If we can figure out the corresponding file in the GV app, then we ate half way there!
If we can then take that info, and combine it with some knowledge of GV/Google/ and their usual servers ports etc. I think we can create a work around that would allow everyone to get free VVM by setting up a dummy (or real like in my case) Google voice number to use its transcription service instead of the carrier.
Side note for anyone who wants to hear my little conspiracy theory....
Sprint until very recently let you integrate a Google voice account. It's slightly different than just having the Google voice app. Not going to go through all the differences, but basically it was possible to have you GV # carrier integrated until recently.
I think the reason Sprint no longer does this is because Google's VVM rollout. I.e. if GV was still integrated, a quick change of the settings above and it would have properly activated Google's VVM service to work instead of the Sprint version.

I just followed the directions you gave. When I selected load, that's what popped up.
I haven't had any text.

I know with a custom ROM on T-Mobile, the visual voicemail in the Google phone app works with no issues.
Also found this. Any ideas?

Interesting. Just so we can start to trial and error our way to a better world, would you mind sharing a couple details? I may ask everyone to answer a few of these and see if we can start to work our way through this and get to some working versions.
Your Carrier:
Current Carrier VVM status: (i.e do you already have a vvm app o your phone that works, do you pay for it, is it the stock carrier app, etc.)
Since you did the GDialer Configuration Update(the steps in post 1)...
Is your Google Dialer VVM working now?
Have you received provisioning texts? No (you already answered this one)
If you already had a VVM service, did you have transcribed messages in your carrier VVM app?
If yes, did they transfer into your Google Dialer VVM tab?

Good find! I would venture a guess and say that you found something useful there.
Since it looks like that grayed out image is pointing to your TMO VVM box, I would suggest using the two ports listed there and trying them in the Google Dialer Configuration. Meaning the 443 and 8082 #s. I am not sure which is which, but if you try them both maybe it will point the dialer at the stored VVM data.

Damn, it would have been cool if we figured it out that fast.
Hopefully some more people will post their configurations and we can make some progress. Thanks for trying.

Can't find Shortcut Maker in the market or at least the one that looks like in the screen shots.

Going to need a knowledgeable dev to check this.
