So starting about a month ago (I've just pained through it using Snapchat chat) my phone stopped sending any sort of text. SMS doesn't work. MMS does work. I'll send the text and on my phone it will say sent but no matter who I send the message to they never receive it. I've tried calling att and they sent me a new phone that didn't work. They sent me a new sim card that didn't work I deactivated and reactivated my account with att that didn't work... So I'm at a loss how can I fix this? Calling works data works MMS works just not SMS... Attached is some info if that helps. Oh and also receiving SMS works.
Since you changed phones and sim, and the problem persists, the problem must be with the way that your account is set up at AT&T. Have one of their tech support people confirm that you're set up to be able to send sms.
My wife had a similar problem with her data plan a couple of years ago.
AoN
Att says it's set up to send sms, and my texts actually get through sometimes but only when the recipient is an att user also. Att told me they would send this case to a higher level techie and I have yet to hear back from them
So am I pretty much just stuck with help from at&t at this point (is there nothing I can do?)
Your first message stated that no sms went through, no matter what. The message above says that they do, but only to ATT customers. That's confusing.
How many non ATT users have you tested this with, and are you sure that their sms systems are working?
Yeah since posting I've done some more extensive testing and concluded that all att to att texts work and only mms works on the other carriers
I think I figured out what happened. Ive just been posting this for my buddy since he doesn't really do xda I have an lg g2. He called att and they said he was blacklisted on all carriers besides att for 90 days because of spam texting. As he recalls he said he was joking around with his cousin and friends. Remember the whole thing where there was that text message you could send iPhone users and kill their phone temporarily? Well he sent that out a bunch and I'm thinking that was why he was added to the spam lists. Do you guys know if there's a way to get off the spam list?
"Blacklisted on all carriers" doesn't sound as though AT&T can help much there. Just wait out the 90 days.
I didn't think they could even do that.. ?

I'd be furious.. Paying for service I can't even use.

Why? People who spam email get blocked too. Amusingly, the block appears to come from the receiving carrier(s), not the carrier who he's paying for his service.

Heya.
I did a little research and finally noticed that I would never get picture messages, and I heard this is a problem with the Iphone as well. But i figure with the Tilt I should be fine. Why do my picture messages not work and it directs me towards ATT's Viewmymessage.com website? Any help? Thanks everyone! -Jeff
The iPhones does not have mms capability, but the Tilt does. You should check with AT&T if everything is correctly provisioned in their system. I have a Tilt and I get picture messages fine.
Hope this helps!
bump anyone?
Jeff,
Do you know what type of messages are being sent that you cannot receive? MMS, email, other? I have no idea what viewmymessage.com is but on the front page it says...
If you received a text message directing you to this site, then someone has sent you a multimedia message.
To view your message, enter the personal password that was included in your text message.

When you try that does it work?
I have AT&T also and have gotten MMS messages from Verizon and AT&T users without an issue. Maybe this viewmymessage.com service is related to where the message is originating from?
Hello.
I thought is was because of their service providers as well, but I've tried with people from T-mobile, Verizon and ATT and I always received the message without the pic..
It's a MMS, so it's a picture within a txt. I was reading online how this is setup because the iphone cannot received mms, so for the iphone they created this website to view photos within the txt.. But, I cannot understand for the life of me why I cant see pictures in my text's.
Interesting. Maybe AT&T thinks you have an iPhone? Are you on their iPhone plan? Also log onto your account and make sure your phone there isn't listed as the iPhone.
sounds to me like that's what the other persons phone is sending you to. nothing to do with your tilt. Like you could have a rzr and still see the same message. i get mms fine on my tilt with at&t
Yea I'm going to have to call them. It's def not the people sending it to me. I've gone online and ATT is showing me that I have a Tilt on their website, I'm just gonna give them a ring and see whats up.
I am sure this is a provisioning issue. I just called AT&T because of this and sms not getting to my phone and it was because of the way they setup my account. I am sure you will have this fix shortly.
Figured it out I think. I have a W810I registered with ATT because the net is cheaper on that phone. I only use my tilt 4 days out of the week and just dont use net on it those 4 days, cus 30 bucks is expensive. So i opted to just use my w810i for 15 bucks a month. I remember when i called they had to change the MAE or EMI whatever number to the old sony ericson, thats why they are not appearing correctly. This will be interesting...

Do you guys have issues with sometimes not receiving a text?
I have an HD7 with Tmobile USA
and I've had ppl saying they text
me yet they never did
At first i thought it was just lies that
guys tell but i've gotten the same
story for certain friends.
Just wanted to know if it is isolated
or if someone else was having the
trouble i am
Check the number in messaging settings and make sure you haven't changed it, otherwise I can't think of any other reason, assuming you have not added message blocking or some other feature that limits usage
maybe a network issue in your area. I would talk to t-mobile about it and they can check it out.
I haven't had any problems with texts.
The odd thing is that I have had a vibrant, g2, and mytouch 4g with Tmobile in th same area and those never had an issue
tj
It seems like it only happens like 20% of the time but i feel bad for fussing at ppl for not texting back when it is my phone
and i've noticed this is on both HD7
But it is not a MAJOR problem...just a minor annoyance
lol and i refuse to call tmobile's customer service until next month. I finally can transfer to postpaid instead of being on flexpay aka hell. Trying to explain a problem to them is murder. The language barrier alone will make this whole situation worse...
Another issue that pops up
I decided to use the feature of sms confirmation to let me know when it is sent to the users i send the text or pic mail to(which is annoying) because if i send my usual 1,000-2000 msg daily i will get the same amount of texts from my phone telling me that it has sent the text to the recipient.
Anyway, a new issue pops up that when i send a text, it will say it can't be sent and it will resend later. Even if i have full service, it sends me the message and i literally can't text anyone
then after about 10-15 minutes, it will send it automatically with no issues then sporadically pop back up.
This is shocking because i really have had no issues with WP7 or my hd7 aside from this and now randomly that pink hue on the camera started appearing
the pink on camera seems to be fixed with the ..10u.. rom for a lot of people
i can't say anything on the sms delivery reports, but i know tmo on the east should have way better reception than west
missing texts
I have T-mobile as well. My HD2 would drop most inbound texts. I had to do a hard reset to get it to start working reliably again.
Haven't had the issue since I switched to the HD7.
It is working great now. Idk what was going on with my phone.
So today I switched to Verizon from At&t. I had no issues prior to today with sending pictures or group text. Now I can do neither. :crying:
I've tried talking to Verizon and Google. Both have no solution. I've also tried doing a factory reset and I'm still having the same issue.
Anyone know how to get into the APN settings? I can only get to them via the hangouts app. But it doesn't give all the fields I'm used to seeing in typical APN settings.
Anyone run into this and have a solution?
Swap your Sim card

When you say switched, do you mean you used AT&T on your N6 and switched to a Verizon sim? If so, you need to factory reset. You don't change APN settings on Verizon though, the sim card sets them.

I already tried a factory reset. And I'm still having the same issue. If I'm still having the same issue tomorrow, I'm going to swap the sim card.
I think there is or was a problem with MMS on VZ and using Hangouts or Google Voice. I read somewhere that this was being taken care of by VZ soon.
Yep -- I've been having issues with receiving SMS / MMS messages on Verizon too. Sending works fine (tested and confirmed) but I can't receive anything. It used to work but it hasn't for me since last Wednesday or so.. Maybe they're making changes before they launch the Nexus 6 themselves? Who knows. It caught me off guard though as I used SMS for my Google two factor auth. Had to switch to Google Authenticator because of this.
I use Hangouts and do not have any issues with VZW MMS sending or receiving. I live in Chicagoland.

Just to confirm it's a Hangouts Verizon issue, I'm on the OG Samsung Galaxy Nexus and have been having this issue for roughly a month now. Not sure what prompted it, but it's been plaguing me for some time now.

Not OP, but I have. I had a single SMS message sneak through last night -- much to my surprise. I haven't been able to receive SMS / MMS for about two weeks now. Over that period of time, I have sent myself multiple "test" messages from other numbers as well as other people's phones. Only a single, unrelated text has come through. SMS / MMS works as expected with this SIM in my old Galaxy Nexus. Very odd.
N6 on VZW
I have an N6 o Verizon and I have not had issues with sending or receiving mms or sms and I got my phone almost a month ago. Only thing I don't like is when I'm on a call, if I get group messages or a picture message, I may have to tap to manually download after the call because the phone doesn't do voice and data at the same time.

friend of mine on pure sent me sms and mms this morning and i sent both back from my note 4 and no problems on either end.
Hey guys, I am having a weird issue here. I have had the Nexus 6 for about 2 months now and everything has been working fine. I am using hangouts and have been able to send and receive MMS no problem, up until a few days ago. I now cannot send MMS, but I can receive them. I've pulled the SIM, restarted, tried using Messenger and Handcent. When using Handcent I would get an error about the APN settings. I set them to what Verizon has listed for MMS and it was still erroring out. I am not back on Hangouts and still can't send an MMS message. Any ideas? I guess the next step would be a factory reset...
PS - I am unlocked, rooted, and un-enecrypted running the latest stock OTA ROM.
Bump? Anyone? I am still unable to send MMS. I can receive them just fine though. I did a TWRP factory reset and still was unable to send. I might have to flash back to bone stock or wait until Friday when Verizon officially supports this thing.
I only have ever used Textra on my phone (Verizon, rooted, OTA, encrypted) no texting issues I am aware of.

Tried Textra, no luck (it's beautiful and I will probably stick with it!)...I will start from square 1, hopefully a full reinstall will fix this.
I don't know if you saw it in the options but there is a switch to try to "fix" MMS within Textra . Something to try anyway...

I had a problem for the first time the other day.
It ended up being a host file MOAB (Mother Of all Ad Blockers) I added to Adaway ad blocker app.
Did some googling and it seems others have had the same problem.
Just throwing it out there.
I am hoping to get some input from others. I had the note 2 running CM prior to my Nexus 6. I say this because I don't know if CM ran MMS/group messaging different than stock, but here is the scenario:
When on CM, if I sent or received a group text, all the replies were in the same thread. Very convenient for obvious reasons. However, on my N6, if someone starts/sends me a group message all the replies end up in the same thread. If I start and send a group message, the first message shows one thread with everyone in it, but when people start to reply, each message comes individually and not a part of the group thread.
Is this normal? Is there a way to get all messages in one thread?

One of the biggest promises of 5.1.1 for me on T-Mobile was advanced messaging, with a limit of 10 megs per message instead of just 1 meg with MMS, I looked forward to sharing pictures by text without the horribly poor-quality compression. Then, AT&T announced they were going to be supporting it, too! Great bonus!
But why can't I get it to work, at all? I have WiFi Calling and VoLTE activated (as T-Mobile's website says), I've gone through all the 'Chat' settings. Tried sending messages to friends with the same T-Mobile Note 4 with 5.1.1., but the pictures get MMS compressed from 2-3 Megs to 200-300 Kb, just like old times. Not even notifications that the other sender is typing a message or has received the message.
A Google search and XDA search revealed surprisingly little help. Anyone know how to get this going? Thanks in advance!

your post is a bit confusing . You said AT&T is "going to" support it. Do they already support it out is it a future plan? Then you start talking about Tmo. Are you on Tmo or AT&T? Has Tmo said they have/will implement this plan?

Sorry, I'm only on here late, so I'm tired and the words don't sense always make.
T-Mobile has been advertising Advanced Messaging in it's new phones since the summer - I was able to find a YouTube video of it in-action. https://youtu.be/MuC2c0E1c8I
Also, in my search for info on the T-Mobile iteration, I saw the announcement that AT&T will be implementing it, too (making it more useful).
Anyways, I had to call T-Mobile's billing department to fix something, so I had them connect me to tech support when we were done. The tech didn't initially know what Advanced Messaging was, but after waiting on hold for about 5 minutes, he came back and said they have been having system-wide issues with VoLTE for a while, which has been keeping Advanced Messaging from working, right now.
I'll just continue emailing the big attachments, for now, then.
Don't forget that the person you are texting must also be on Tmo with a newer Samsung phone that is setup for Advanced Messaging. I don't know anyone with those specs so I can't even test it.
I'm on Metro PCS, since it's a part of tmobile would the messaging work?
Yes it works

I actually had it work with another friend (It still randomly switched between Advanced Messaging and regular messaging throughout the day). It is kinda cool, but I turn-off the invasive notifications.
BTW, my first friend with same same T-Mobile Note 4 forgot to mention they'd switched messaging apps...

Is anyone having the issue of not receiving text messages from different people on T-Mobile S8? There are several people that text and I don't receive the text messages. My wife is in the same network as I'm with an iPhone 7 Plus, a friend of mine in the T-Mobile network as well with an iPhone 7. A coworker in the sprint network with an iPhone 5S and a friend of my on T-Mobile with an S8. Sometimes I don't receive their messages. My Friend with the S8 sometimes doesn't receive mines. Anyone has this issue? I have several weeks with this issue and it's frustrating.

For the past few weeks I have been reading about text messages not being delivered/received on different networks. Some Google Pixel phone users face this as well and google said that this will be fixed in November's update. I haven't noticed any issues with my text messages. Looks like you have a mixture of Android and iOS devices and these usually didn't play well together especially in group chats I know some iPhone users would temporarily turn off iMessage to have a proper group conversation.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I'm not doing group conversation. They're individual text messages. It's random that's the worse. It can be working fine and then it just breaks. I have tried with the Samsung Stock Messaging app and the Google Messages App as well.
I am having the same problem. I tried clearing messing app cache and system cache, but this has not solved the problem for me. I am considering a factory reset next.
I have an unlocked s8+ on verizon and I also am intermittently not receiving texts. Co-workers and I tested it yesterday and I was intermittently not receiving texts from a windows phone on sprint, a unlocked note 8 on verizon and an iPhone 6s+ on verizon. I would receive a majority of the texts, but once in a while I would miss one... Issue seems to be with my s8+.

I am factory reseting now. One frustrating thing about this problem is that I won't know if it fixed it or not unless someone tells me they texted me and I didn't reply.
BTW, I am pretty sure Samsung customer service employees don't know anything. They wanted me to send my phone in for repair without even trying any troubleshooting first.
I am so frustrated with this problem. Its a basic feature of any smartphone to be able to text and expect you would receive one, but not the case. Mine goes from never receiving or sending at times, to getting multiple copies of the same text. Way to go Samsung to destroy a great product. Problem is they haven't acknowledged or done anything about it.
Same on S7 edge
TLDR: same issue on my Tmo S7 Edge last few weeks. Not just S8 problem.
Full: So interesting - I came here to look at S8 reviews etc, just dropped my S7 edge and busted my glass. Thinking about upgrade to S8 vs fixing glass for $275, partially because of my intermittent text issues on S7. Samy symptoms. Just with a few contacts I regularly communicate with, mix of Android and iPhone, mix of carriers. No way to know I've missed one until they ask if I received. They get 'sent' reciept like normal no matter what. No apparent impact on my ability to send - they get all of mine. Just sporadic recieving problems . Tried clearing cache, switching SMS apps, resetting APN, etc...but no luck. Factory reset is next. Then have to decide on what to do next...S8 or Pixel 2, or fix screen.
Same problem with mine and my wife's S7s. It's sproadic, not related to carrier or phones, or even locations. It's very frustrating that TMobile won't acknowledge there's a major issue here that is affecting a lot of people.
I used to have the problem as well. Then I dumped all SMS apps I used to use, and went back to ORIGINAL app that came with the ROM, and problem disappeared.. So my question is - Do you have messages not received/Sent with the ORIGINAL built in app?
Also - Oreo Beta can be downloaded today. Seems like Google have a fix (to whatever the bug was) anyways.
Same problem with S8 on Sprint. It's not a carrier issue, it's Samsung (or Android). There is no help. Nothing from Samsung or Sprint. I've missed so many important messages, at least 6 a day. At least my fiance knows about the problem, and if I don't respond she'll shoot me a screenshot showing me what I missed. Until she started that, I had no clue how many texts I was actually missing. I've been to Sprint, on the phone with Sprint, on the phone with Samsung. They're all useless and won't do anything. I've already done factory reset, changed from Google messages back to stock, turned off all entrance enhanced features etc, cleared cache, changed network mode from automatic to LTE/CDMA. Nothing helps. The problem continues. So we're all stuck with a broken product until Google/Samsung fixes the problem. Who knows when that will be. I'm highly angered about this problem, it's BS. I'm trying to get Sprint to let me out of my lease without fees, but so far that's going nowhere. So I'm paying for a phone that is broken.

I use a 3rd party, not sure about the stock one. I think the app is going to sleep and missing texts.
Same problem here. Been going on for months. Completed the following: Formatted phone, deleted txt message DB, used stock sms app, and used already activated sim to test. I just activated a new sim and will see what happens.
It might be the sleep mode or saving battery issue.
Do messages come through with wifi?
Had the problem with samsung app but not with Google messages.

If you are not receiving text messages from iPhone owners it's because the iPhone owner doesn't have their phone set up right. There is a setting on the iPhone in imessages that has sms and a check box. That is for people that don't have imessage, they check that box and anyone who has Android phone will now get text message.
I have both iPhone 8 & Galaxy S8.
