Telus One will not download MMS pictures

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.

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

I had a lot of android phones HTC's; Samsung's and really know where to find the delivery report check-box bu the problem is that in my setting there is no this option at all

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

So here is screen of message settings and firmware

Same screenshot I have for SMS/MMS. Official N900A, purchased through official retail channel, stock, unrooted, Messaging app, shipped with MJ5. No delivery receipt option.
My wife's, shipped with MI9, same retail channel, OTAd to MJ5, same thing - no delivery receipt.
Very strange.

I just looked on my phone as well running MJ5 and I do not have the option in the location you said either. In fact like the OP I do not see an option to see message receive confirmations.

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.

Text messaging issue after 4.4 update

I tried searching for this issue but I am not finding anything. After updating to Android 4.4, I am having some kind of texting issue about 50% of the time. What happens is, I am typing a text message in landscape mode and I hit send and nothing happens. I flip the phone and when it goes into portrait mode, the text area goes black (keyboard is still active at the bottom of the screen). I also cannot backspace in the message. All 3 of these effects happen together as a result of some weird glitch. I can hit the home button, then go back into that text thread and there's no draft saved. The second attempt is always successful. This only happens in text messaging. I'm using the standard built-in keyboard and I do not have Google Hangouts linked to my text messaging. I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

T-Mobile HTC One 4.4 texting issues after update
I am also having texting problems too after the update. I still text using "phone" which is the old school flip phone t9 method. Several major and annoying problems have occurred after the update. First issue, auto space is forced and can't be turned off so after making up words or trying to add punctuation it will put a space and I have to back up and erase the space. The other issue is some simple words like "go" and "am" won't generate when trying to create the words using t9 also known as "phone"
I need this problem resolved or I will go nuts

T-Mobile HTC 4.4 update issues
I don't want to have to download 3 party texting applications when the stock HTC texting app is perfectly fine up until this defective 4.4 update.

They said some people were experiencing issues. I just suggested using a third party until an update either for the phone or the individual app comes out.

if a factory reset doesnt help only your carrier can help

Well, I did a factory reset and it was good for a couple of days and now it's starting to do the same thing again. Any other ideas? Do I have to talk to Verizon and/or HTC now? I've had the phone for about 5 months now. I feel like if I could just reinstall the 4.4 update that would fix the issue.

[Q] how to remove SMS limit per hour on Lollipop?

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!
- Master Ramy
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?

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:

Textra Attachment Issues

Anyone else using Textra on the Note8 not seeing a way to attach files to text messages? I'm a beta tester, so I left some feedback for the Textra devs, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone experienced this and found a resolution:
Next to the text input box, theres a +. Tapping that icon should pull up recent pictures and a bar across the bottom allowing me to select gif, pictures, etc. I used this app on my Note5, and my husband uses it on his Galaxy S6. On the Note8, however, tapping the + only bring up an emoji selection box. I've checked all permissions and did the standard clear cache/reinstall stuff to troubleshoot. Before anyone brings it up, I can go to a picture in my gallery and share that way, just looking for a solution to attaching while still in the Textra app.

i get this when i hit the + on the non beta

Thanks, bub. For some reason my nav bar appears to be covering that bar.

If you turn the phone to landscape then the options to attach pics and gifs show up. It's annoying but it will do for me until a fix is pushed out.

Have you rebooted your phone recently? I hadn't since I got it last week. Was going back and forth with Textra support (in a positive way) and then I thought to rebooted...and textra worked fine. I felt stupid for not thinking about doing that. Might help, won't hurt.

I was trying to get some screenshots of the issue and how the bar shows only in landscape mode. Apparently Bixby commands force portrait mode and get hidden by the emoji list. Likewise, I tried with the SPen but the air command menu also gets covered and I'm unable to interact with it.

I chatted with a textra rep and she stated rcs does not work on T-Mobile .
However i am able to send live messages direct from textra to another phone i have. That phone is also on T-Mobile so it seems T-Mobile have no issues with sending /receiving gifs/live messeages...

Same here I just tried googling some help and found your post. Textra doesn't play nice with N8

Not everyone is having the issue.
Maybe specific to beta testers on beta firmware or/and carrier specific nonsense.
T-Mobile user here and textra is working fine in seeing the tool bar and sending in/receiving gifs and such.and im not the only one that is having success, so its not totally fair to say this app is failing everyone.

There is a workaround from Textra.
Settings > Display > Navigation Bar > click the text under Show and Hide Button > turn off Textra
