Not sure why I can't receive messages. Im using Android Messages and I'm able to send out messages but don't seem to be receiving them? (Sms) I'm in Verizon. I have the Chinese version. Im able to send out calls and receive them too, but I'm not receiving messages. Any help?
Make sure chat features are turned off on the last phone you used.
allow all permissions for the app and the app set as default

When I configure my Google Voice (GV) app, the SMS from Handcent all come thru my Google Voice number. By doing this, I'm able to ensure that multi-part messages are received by the recipient in proper order.
My girlfriend has the myTouch 3G. When she uses her Handcent with GV not configured her multi-part messages show up in my Handcent out of order. When she downloads and configures GV, any messages she sends from GV show her GV number and any she sends through Handcent show her phone's number. The text's she sends thru GV show up in order, which is nice, but she really enjoy's using Handcent.
Does anyone know how to configure her Handcent so it sends SMS thru her GV number?
PS - I find it odd that the multi-part messages I receive in MY Handcent aren't combined. I have that checked in the Handcent settings, but it's not performing that operation.
PSS - If there's another messaging app that achieves sending and receiving SMS messages in the proper order AND combines them without the need of GV, my girlfriend would probably be willing to switch. I just hope the issue isn't t-mobile's services screwing up the order of the SMS messages.

About two weeks ago I couldn't receive any texts, I could send them because my friends would respond back and my Google voice shows that it had to of gone through for them to respond, but on my phone it won't retrieve it. The weird part is if someone sends me a photo or a group message I can receive it, but individual texts won't come in. I called sprint and they said nothing is wrong with my phone, they're going to call a engineer to check out where the problem is.

You probably need to clear out the data and cache. You could also try re-installing Google voice. The reason you receive the texts with photos is because those are handled by your messaging app not by Google voice. Voice only handles txt messages not mms. you also need to check the voice settings. Your settings could be set up to have the message app handle txt messages and not the Google voice app.

Messages coming in from where? If you cancel your SMS plan with Verizon, then you wouldn't be receiving any text messages.
Hangouts is just an app that handles IM's (instant messages) via data (3G/4G/WiFi), and SMS, if you set it to handle text messages.
Anything being charged to your phone bill (account) is up to you and Verizon.
When trying to send a text (SMS) using voice, after dictating the message and saying send it says 'sending message' and then 'message sent' but it never does, if you open the messaging app the text is not there, is anyone else having this problem?
Sending an email works fine, along with getting directions only the messaging (SMS) doesn't seem to work.
I wonder if it is because it is a dual SIM, although I have SIM2 turned off and it set to send via SIM1 as default but it also doesn't work if I change the settings or if I change the default SMS app to Hangouts.
Does anyone else's work?
Got my Nexus 6 today. I'm on T-Mobile. I set my hangouts to be my default sms app. No matter who I send a text to, it says error message not sent. If I send a normal hangout message to another hangout user its fine. Is their a known issue with hangouts and 5.0 or something?
Same issues here. I am trying everything. Had issues since day 1, but haven't had time to look into it. Sprint Nexus 6 here.

I do know there was an update for the regular messenger app. Not sure if that's the problem or not but worth a check.
I switched carrier settings from lte to global and all my mms messages just flooded in at once. I can now send pic and group mms in hangouts and still have the same lte signal. Hopefully this solves your issue!
Just following up, my issues returned while i was out last night. I switched to 3g and again received a flood of incoming mms. Its frustrating to say the least.
