[Q] Change message center number?

Anyone know how to change the message center number on a Moto X?
I have an AT&T Moto X that I ported to straight talk. Everything ported fine for phone calls, data and MMS. However I can't send or receive SMS.
ST said I need to double-check the message center number and gave me the number that it should be...I just can't find a way to check it on a Moto X. Past Android phones had this option under messaging settings, and the *#*#4636#*#* trick that worked on other phones doesn't work either.

Thanks for the sarcasm, I already posted that the option is not under Messaging settings. I have an AT&T Moto X, so it's possible that T-Mobile versions enable it but my guess is that documentation is wrong.

For anyone else in the same boat as me, GoSMS has an option under Advanced settings to change the SMSC if you need to.
In any case my Moto X started sending and receiving texts 6 hours or so after the number port to Straight Talk went through. Just had to wait.

Are you in the middle / at the end of a carrier port? In my case AT&T was holding onto my texts and didn't release them until the next day.

Yes i ported and at the time i post this comment,it will be 24 hours.
Note: Have ported before but sms was working right frm the start. This is the first time i went from a normal sim to nano sim.
And thanks for affirmation.

How to remove SMS limit in Marshmallow?

Hey guys, I've recently switched over to a Nexus 6 from a Note 4, and have run into an issue with sending text messages under Marshmallow. I often send a reminder text to a good-sized group of people, and when I send it I get a warning from Android that Textra is sending a large number of messages. It then asks if I want to allow or deny the messages. I'd like to disable this behavior, but all of the instructions I've found on how to do so are for older versions of Android and don't work under Marshmallow.
So, any ideas of how to disable this behavior? I'm unlocked and rooted, just don't know where to look...Thanks for any help you can offer!

If you look at the popup there is an option to never show this again. Check that. Other then that it cant be gotten around. It is an anti spam/Security measure set in by google.

EDIT - Misread the OP.

It looks like I may have cracked the code on this issue and found a solution for my device.
Here's what has worked for me on my Galaxy S4 running a custom AOSP Rom. I don't know if this works on the nexus 6. Try this!
1.) Download Terminal Emulator or some other Terminal App
2.) Open Terminal app and grant SU either by prompt or by typing "su" as a command
3.) After SU access is acquired in Terminal Emulator/app type:
settings put secure sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms 0
4.) Reboot!
Let me know if this works for you!

It will still be blocked by the carrier as it is a 2 step deal. First the device blocks it and then the carrier also flags large amounts as spam. We had the same issue and had to go to a messaging app to get around the limit.

Some carriers may block it but AT&T does not. I was using a CM ROM that had it unlocked and I've been sending messages to 200 people at a time. This mod is now working for me on ROMs that do not have it unlocked. YMMV

If it is working then their spam blocker is not working as it should. The blocker was added a few years ago when I was working for ATT and we had to explain it to business users about the limit and advised them to switch to a messaging program.

In that case, I am glad they are not using their spam blocker! I've been using unlocked CM ROMs for years which has allowed me to send broadcast messages to my 200+ member sales team. This mod is now allowing me to use a locked AOSP ROM that I've wanted to use for a very long time. After unlocking sms, I can now send as many messages as I want without getting that annoying pop-up warning. WIN!

hey I tried this on boost mobile and ran into the carrier block. I talked to customer service, I even talked to some pretty knowladgable guys who said he was "heavy programming" to get my sms working lmao. my question to you is two fold.
is there any way to get the carrier to disable the spam filter?
what do you mean when you say messaging program?
thanks in advance

You can ask but they will most likely deny that it is there or just flat out refuse. It is a security thing and thankfully it is in place or we would have spamming sms like the rest of the world does.
As for a messaging program I mean something like Telegram, hangouts or something of that nature.

Unfortunately, it looks like the method I posted is not actually working. Messages sent above 30 were not actually being sent. Oh well... back to using my custom CM 13 based ROM that has increased the sms limit to 200 per minute. It's not totally unlocked but at least I can send more than 30 messages at once without being annoyed by the confirmation prompt. Bummer!

Anyone found a solution to this issue ?

Unfortunately, the only real solution I've found is to use a ROM that provides an option to increase or eliminate the SMS limit.

Use Allo, Skype, or Viber. Text message is a dying race anyway.

Unfortunately, unlike text messaging, those apps require everyone to use the same app.

That depends on where you live. In the states sms is still very widely used unlike the apps you mentioned.

If your device is supported, try flashing a custom ROM like Team OctOS (this is the one I'm using) or Cyanide M which has the limit removed.

This seems fairly odd that there wouldn't be a fix for Marshmallow... I mean, if a custom ROM can implement it, why couldn't a code edit somewhere resolve the issue? I understand that it could be limited on the carrier side, but speaking as someone who likes to occasionally mess with friends using an sms bomber on Verizon, I don't think they do THAT much limiting... Other carriers obviously might be different. Still, I don't understand why it can't be resolved at the phone level at least.

I am currently using another custom ROM created by @side called Optimized CM13 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 where he also removed the SMS limit. Maybe he can provide some answers to your questions. I agree it would be nice if there were an easy way to remove the limit on any ROM you chose.

Bugs i found.

Good Morning.
I bought this phone 3 days ago from amazon, i noticed some bugs i want to share. Maybe i'm just a noob but i can't find a solution so i ask for your check.
1. It's impossible to disable WhatsApp notification. Everyone can read msgs' previews even with the phone locked. I didn't test notification from other apps. Just disabled sound and lock screen preview but it still show it.
2. can't turn off touch-disable function. It's impossible to use the phone inside arm-bands. It seems they forgot the otpion in the Smart Assistance menu.
3. FM radio has not the RDS function.
I'm sorry i can't add attachment with system infos but i'm not allowed to do it cause forum policies about new users.
I would appreciate your test,
Thank you.

HI, for notifications I still can't figure out how to set WhatsApp notification only with flashing led, without sounds...
And in the settings I haven't the option to set the touch-disable function... Could you tell me where you found it please?.

Notifications - Do try it Yourself, remember that You have to manage it inside Whatsapp itself as well.
Touch-disable is in smart assistance at the bottom od the screen.

Hi,
regarding the touch-disable function, this is the smart assistance menu... i can't find it.
Also searching "touch" word in the menu gives no relevant results.

That's the problem with different phone versions.
I do own an Indian/Chinese version 3GB/16GB.
Model LLD-AL10. CUSTC675D3
I do have PRIVATE SPACE, APP TWIN , DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE, touch-disable function. etc
Sadly I do not have an NFC which was one of the reasons I bough't this phone.

Question Google Messages

All,
I thought Samsung said at their unpacked event that they were moving to native Google messages. Mine looks like it is the Samsung messaging app Version 12.1.01.25. Anyone has any nsight on this? I have the s21 ultra 512GB directly from Samsung using T-mo.
A little research -- https://9to5google.com/2021/01/15/galaxy-s21-google-messages-pre-installed/
Not installed in the US... Why?

It was always only for non-US phones, US phones got stuck with Samsung Messages. We will have to wait for someone to upload the APK so that we can sideload it.
And for anyone wondering the Google Messages version in the Play Store is different and doesn't offer the integrated features that come with the Samsung version of it.

I wish they would stick to one of the two apps, not both. My 21 came with both preloaded and it's getting pretty ridiculous. There's pretty much double apps everywhere now, even a secondary keyboard by Microsoft! And I can't even uninstall them!

I am using the google messages for s20 ultra. I downloaded from the play store just fine

US S21 here. I downloaded from play store. It works but it says "chat features unavailable for this device"

yeah and nothing malfunctions, except I can’t get RCS to work.

EMEA Version came with Samsung Messages.
Installed Google Messages and have chat features in it.

Yeah, it's weird. Just got my s21. Text messages that are being reply to me were still going to my old phone that didn't even have a sim card. Searched and found that Chat features needed to be turned off on the old phone...didn't work either until I just uninstalled the app. Now chat features are not available on the s21. Says to call carrier. Figure it's a network issue holding onto my old device info and not releasing to my new? Maybe it just takes some time.
[Didn't know that Samsung is supposed to have a messaging app that integrated with googles.]

Thank you! How hard would it be for the Google Messages app to direct users to download the Carrier Service when they try to enable Chat features but are denied. Chat set up immediately after installing Carrier Service.
Edit: I'm on T-mobile with the T-mobile S21 Ultra.

I just removed google messaging app from mine, through ADB.
I was like.. what?? Why are there 2 apps with the same name "messages" in my drawer?
anyway, got rid of it

I have the Verizon version of the ultra and there were no issues with getting Google Messages to work with the chat features. All I did was download and install the app. I also made it my dark messaging app in Settings > Apps > Default apps.

I use T-mobile and and have the s21 ultra unlocked on Tmobile, and I use the google messages and chat features work perfectly fine.

On Tmobile 512 unlocked.
If I want RCS with call and text on other devices .(Play store version, of Google messages does not support Samsung text and call on other devices) I had to go on "U" firmware with TMO carrier services and stick with Samsung messages.
I tried installing Google " NATIVE"messaging for Samsung. That apk that was posted in another thread and it would not install.
Also it does not seem that continue app on other devices is working either .
My tab s7+ and S21 ULTRA are both on 3.1 and they have the options enabled ,but no
Worky.

Honestly I prefer the Samsung messages app because it gives an audible notification when you're on a phone call. The Google messages app doesn't. It sucks to be on a call and not know a text message came in. If Google messages would add that simple feature it would be just about perfect.

Question for those that have the Google Messages prebaked in, can one of you upload it for us to use? If I'm not mistaken that is the one that is specifically developed to be themed alongside One Ui. Thanks in advance!

It doesn't work, they already tried in this thread.

Question What SMS/text's application are you using?

As title, what aplication are you using for sms/text's?
Currently I am using stock samsung, but is is incredibly slow. I mean I type quickly, and sometimes my messages appear after 5-10 sec in it. Also I can get a text and when I enter apk I need to wait another 3/4 sec just to let it appear. Very frustrating, looking for something better, maybe google messages with one ui are better? Or maybe you got some alternatives?

I use the Google app. IDGAF about Samsung and their apps.

Samsung Messages before. Then started using Google Messages for RCS. Switched back to Samsung Messages as RCS is now supported by my Service Provider in Australia. IMO, Samsung Messages is better than Google's in the functionality wise.

Your Service provider has to support RCS to start with. I have Galaxy Watch. I get more options on my watch notification. Also, the notification tray has functionality to copy OTP or any numbers if the text has one.

I hate to sound thirsty, but look at my post regarding one ui themed Google messages .
I'm deep into my 2nd whiteclaw (mango) ,so I'm like super click bait right now

Been using google app, now switched to samsung messages. Only sms to mms conversion is annoying. Do you know how to turn off sms to mms conversion?
