What carrier are you on? What messaging app do you use?
Those questions have to be answered before you can receive help.
You might have to modify your APN settings to send MMS messages.

formerly on Verizon no on straight talk

Are you running stock 5.1 or computerfreeks version those both worked no problem on straight talk for me but any of the Roms like cm or RR need the APN reset the settings are posted somewhere in the forum I can do some digging and look or repost them if that's the case. So what software are you running and we can continue trying to figure this out. And I assume you have a Verizon towers straight talk sim and are not a GSM sim

stock 5.1....

just flashed su4tl-44-twrp.zip and think it fixed it

So this is a screen shot of my APN on straight talk running modified 5.1 check and see if yours is the same I am at work right now but I will try and flash to stock and double check the settings with it. Also what messenger app are u using. I never could get the Verizon messenger to work for me I had to use the standard msg program and make sure to check the settings there to make sure it's set for sms

exactly the same and using same messager

only other problem is periodic pop up spam

latest cyanogen mod - email not updating

Currently I am running the latest cyanogen mod on my g1 and for the past few updates my email won't update with new messages. The only way to get new emails is to do a manual update. My twitter updates as it always has.
Thoughts?
Hmmm lets c....u want ur email to autoupdate.....now if only there were such an option in settings somewhere
Btw, u posted in the wrong forum. There is a forum section labelled Q/A....since u have a question and want an answer, id assume tht section would be appropriate.
Thank you for the quick reply and the insightful suggestion. I did however already check to make sure that the autoupdate box was checked.
My apologies for posting in the wrong section. I will be sure start a new post somewhere else...
I just figured since I'm running a mod and this seems to be a bug of some kind perhaps, I'd post here.
Perhaps posting in the cyanogenmod thread would be appropriate, then.

This is not an SMS or Twitter! You have more than 160 chars to work with, so stop writing like that!
I guess I should have clarified...
The update interval on email (imap) accounts is set to 1 hour.
I was talking about gmail and from what I can see there is no selection for update interval. Only data sync under settings which is all checked.

It's 140 characters on Twitter, just informing the masses

I've had this problem before, I would completely wipe and reinstall cyanogenmod (Wipe, Htc recovery, the whole 6 miles)
I was kinda of afraid that it would come to that.
Thanks for the input and no flameage...

dude... this isn't a debate either, so don't start random arguments.
I had the same issue, and a full wipe sorted it for me.
Cheers! Thanks for the heads up
I'm also having this problem (with the Work Email app though). Think i'm going to wait until some 2.1 Eclair builds start appearing though before I do a full wipe.
A wipe seems to have fixed my gmail issue. The other issue I have is with SMS messages. Not sure if it's a problem with my phone or google voice though. For some reason i'm not getting my GV messages right away. This might be a short coming of GV.

which voice app are you using?
I'm using the app from google. If I set up the app to check for messages every 5 minutes it works great.
They way I'd like to have it set up is that Google will send me an actual SMS message. Allowing me to reply to that SMS as I normally would. Not via the Voice app.
Please state the MOD number instead of "the latest". Makes it better for everybody. Thanks

I get mine instantly, I think it is a shortcoming of the app. If I don't have the app it is instant, if I do then it comes at scheduled times. Try it without the app (It's just an interface anyway, you can get the same things through email)
I think I will try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
Thanks!

What apn are you using. If there isn't one, that's your problem.

Go into settings and then find mobile networks, then look for access point names (apn) and see if has any in there.
i727-ucle2-SkY IcS
no i dont have any in there
FWIW, I've sent many SMS from an unlocked Android device (Xperia Active) w/ out any APN at all (SMS uses the voice system). MMS is another story, iirc it uses the SMS system as a notifier then data APN to actually download the message.
Is your Note setup to be sending MMS instead somehow?
The APN is going to be different depending on what carrier you have. The best way is is to probably search Google for it.
Thanks you beat me to it lol. I know missing apns can cause weird stuff on some of those prepay, straight talk etc I wasn't sure of the carrier I just about to ask

Moto X group messaging.

So, I just upgraded from my old 4S to the moto x. i love it. It is really fast and snappy and does all the things i do exceptionally well.... except for one thing... group messaging. I can send messages out to a group, however when people reply to me the messages get sorted into separate threads from anyone on an android. it seems weird, and i have checked the MMS settings and they are all there. tried speaking with Motorola and they said it's working as intended. Was wondering if anyone else had this issue.
Also, i am on Verizon.
Thank you in advance,
-Jim
Just a heads up for anyone having this issue.
I read through some other threads and no one had an answer, i figured i'd update everyone and let them know what i found. I download Textra, this allowed me to get all my messages in one group thread. I even went back to the default texting app and all the messages were grouped. I then went and removed textra. the threads then split up again.
Long story short, it looks as though there may be some settings that you don't get the privilege of seeing with the default app. at this point textra is working and using super minimal resources so i'm ok with this.

I like to try to get everyone on hangouts since almost everyone has a gmail account and it is multi-platform. I know that's not a solution to group messaging with the messaging app, but it's a great alternative I think.
Good idea,
yea, it is a good idea, i just feel like a **** telling all of my friends to use that for only me haha. this is working great and you can just use standard text messaging/mms.
Group messaging works fine on the Moto X. There does appear to be a SIM provisioning problem on some phones that can be fixed:

Edit: I just re-read the OP - this may not be the same issue... take a look though and see.

Yea I read that. I went in and I can see my phone number, I can also send the messages as MMS. For some reason when I get the replies they get split into different threads. Now that I use the textra app is has started working as it should. The weird part is it now works as it should in the stock app. Idk what behind the scenes settings it alters.

I have a verizon dev unit that is able to send and receive group MMS fine. So far I have only tested it with other phones on verizon though. Do you have the group messaging option turned on in the messaging settings?
Yup I went in and selected the group messaging option. The weird thing is that textra adds more options than my stock messaging app. Idk if its something that textra enables that for some reason I can't see in the normal settings. The pic with 17 at the end is my phone settings. The one with 66 is the textra app.

Replaced phone
So I spent about an hour and a half in total with verizon tech support and they had no idea why this is happening. I then went in and had them replace the phone at the store, sent a text before i even loaded any google accounts or settings. This issue still happened. I am kind of annoyed, but i guess i will have to try and wait for 4.4 to see if it fixes it.
I also use Textra for MMS, the stock messaging has never kept MMS in the same group for me on any of my phones. It is not a problem with the phone just Android's stock message app...kinda sucks, I've always hated it and I never use it. Textra is my newest favorite. Hoping Hangouts does a good job but until then I'm satisfied.
My group messaging worked just fine on stock messenger. Now with hangouts its still working just as good. Never really had a problen

It has to be a provisioning problem if it followed you to a new phone. Have you tried your SIM card in a completely different phone that supports group messaging? I know that VZW has been doing group messaging for a while now. It may be different in stock Android (group messaging didn't work until 4.2).
Another thought: do you have a different phone that you can install CM 10+ on? I believe that does group messaging in the same way that stock 4.2+ does. That would be another way to confirm the problem is with the carrier, but doing it at a VZW store on one of their phones would carry more weight.

I did not try a phone at the store, but it did follow me to a new moto x without even logging into any google accounts or anything. i unfortunately do not have any other phone that i could swap sims with to test this. It did work perfectly fine on my iphone 4s before though. Not sure if it was IOS messaging app fixing the issue with my network or not. It's odd that other apps seem to work perfectly fine though. At this point i'm going to wait for 4.4 and see if it works. VZW tech support in store and via phone have no clue.
I got my Moto X developer edition and the group messaging was working like a charm UNTIL I tried the texting from my computer application in chrome. since then, all my group texts are separated by user instead of thread.

I'm assuming Motorola Connect. Same thing happened with me, but now with SMS Hangouts, everything is fine.

Hangouts MMS - Device or App Issue?

So I came across Hangouts, the messaging program created by Google. I really like the layout and decided to set it as my default SMS program. I got very used to it until I came across a time to send an MMS photo. It kept failing even with the highest bars in service. I Don't think it is the ROM I am running because I tried it on this and on the stock version of the HTC One. Has anyone else had this issue and know if it is an app issue or a device issue? There have been a few updates by Hangouts and none of them have seemed to do any justice.
Ive used hangouts sms since the day it launched. Pictures texts everything work. On data network and wifi. What rom are you running, tell some more about your setup if you require help.

Actually shortly after posting this I noticed there was an update for my Rom. After flashing it and attempting Hangouts MMS it is working now. Doesn't really explain why it didn't work on stock HTC One, but nonetheless it is running now.

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 did a factory reset, and the problem was solved. Thanks to all!!!!
