Hello all,
I have been happily using my Moto X for many months now without any issues. I have a Verizon Dev Edition which is unlocked/rooted with TWRP installed. The only mods are a customer boot logo and animation. I have super SU installed and ADBlock. Otherwise its the stock current OTA rom.
Just yesterday I have developed a new problem. When I am connected to Wifi, I cannot send MMS messages (which is mostly pictures texts and group texts) out. I can however receive them in. When I disconnect from the Wifi (but leaving the Wifi enabled), I can then send MMS messages. I am using the stock Messaging app. I have also tried Hangouts, which has the same problem.
I have been on the internet reading through forums with people that has the same "type" of problems across different devices and networks. So far nothing I have read has fixed my issues. My APN looks to be set up correctly, but even if it wasn't, there is no ability to add/edit anything.
I just called and troubleshooted with Verizon. After numerous different things they finally sent a "network refresh" to the device. Not even this has worked. Their final solution is to do a factory reset on the device. Before I do this I was hoping someone here might know what I could try before I take the plunge.
Please help! Thanks!
Welp. I disabled Adblock Plus and it works again!

I and other people have been suffereing from the same problem, no one has found a fix. there are a few forums and someone suggested using RSD Lite to flash your phone and that wil fix it but I'm not messing with that.
I just refunded my phone. You can post about it on google plus, the motorola engineers are very responsive and way more helpful than customer service!
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?
Thanks in advance....

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?

i had same problem one of you is not using stock message app, if you check it ull find pictures all there i think its new messages plus thing
I have noticed that when I use voice commands, this device will perform the action associated with idem. Yet, in the background, and occasionally the foreground; it also opens/pulls from recents? Another seemingly random app/task.
My device has upgraded its firmware via OTA a few times, and is currently up to date.
Has anyone else had this issue with their Note 8, or the like? If so, I would greatly appreciate someone enlightening me on if and when this issue is addressed. Thanks.
Hello,
I just installed LOS 15.1 on a friend's Nexus 6, using the latest official build and the pico-OpenGAPPS to get the play store working. Now My friend is experiencing delays in receiving messages in Threema: some time messages arrive hours after they were written, some times they won't be received until the app is opened manually. Some times, though, messages do arrive right after they have been sent.
No settings have been altered after the installation and no options have been fiddled with, and this behaviour is quite annoying. A messenger service that takes hours to receive messages is not quite what it is supposed to be.
There's an option in Threema's menu to renew the push token, thus re-registering with GCM. But doing so does not solve this problem. We already checked the other options that Threema mention in their FAQ.
Is there any thing that can be done to get rid of this delays? Did I use the wrong GAPPS? Do I need to install the nano version instead of pico? Does any one else have the same problem?
Thanks in advance for any help and clue.
Try disabling battery optimization for the app.
That option was already set to no optimising.
Problem solved by completely reinstalling LOS from scratch.
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this, I searched other threads for also other models of Xiaomi phones but everything I tried is not helping.
Basically, I'm not receiving all texts. I am receiving some (from certain networks), but not receiving the rest, including authentication codes from all services/apps. My phone is up to date software wise (MIUI 14.0.3). My messaging app is Google Messages and that's what was installed as default when I bought the phone. This has been going on for a few days, can't tell how long exactly but I noticed on Friday. Things I've tried so far:
- the standard of rebooting the phone, reinserting sim card, deleting cache in messaging app, putting my simcard into the 2nd slot
- trying a different messaging app,
- checking the smsc number,
- making sure my messaging app has autostart on,
- making sure miui optimisation is on in developer settings (saw it worked for some people - not me unforch)
- contacted my network provider who weren't able to help me troubleshoot this as everything seems fine on their end.
Does anyone else have an idea what could help? I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset cause if this doesn't work I'll have to log into my apps again and a lot of them require a verification sms to come through to log in and obviously these are not coming through so I'll be stuck
Many thanks

Unlocked bootloader? Rooted?
