[Q] MMS disappearing - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm having a problem lately.
My MMS messeges are disappearing after downloading. Nowhere to be found. It started after I had installed GOSMS. So I deleted the program, But continued to have the problem.
Its rooted and running Warm Z twopointtwo with the latest Netarchy kernal. All radio/pri/prl profiles are up to date.
Ive read about all texts disappearing but that is not my problem. Only new MMS are disappearing. Not all the time, but sometimes it happens. I can't find them in Handcent (default text program) nor the stock message program.

Go back in a ways in the thread. When I get new mms they are time stamped from whatever server they are coming from, so they appear to be received about 6 hours earlier and pop up in between old texts.

Im still not seeing them. Could they be auto deleting from the time stamp? I have my MMS limit set to auto delete at 10 because I get alot of MMS's.

You could try increasing the limit just to see if that works. Do you have a limit on txt too? I would increase the limit on both. And I,m sure you already knew this, but when you reach the top of your message thread you can hit the botton to show more messages. I would just keep going back until the first message. They are in there somewhere.

Thanks. I'll try that. I do have them limited to 225 texts per person because I text alot. I'll remove all MMS from the convo and see what happens next time this happens, If it is indeed farther back in the convo. It's just odd I've never had this problem before I installed gosms. I have been using the ROM 3 week prior. the night I installed gosms is the night it started messing up.

Threaded SMS sending same message multiple times

Has anyone else noticed that their SMS's are automatically sent more than once. Yesterday a message I sent in the morning was re-sent 5 times, I didnt notice until the person receiving them asked why Id sent the same one multiple times.
I checked the Thread, the message sent time had been updated to the latest time even though that was after the next set of messages in the thread.
I looked in the Sent Box which is obviously empty in the threaded view, then in the Outbox, the message was still in there, it took a few attempts to delete it but I managed to get there in the end.
Anybody else noticed this?
Im using a home grown 6.1 using the pandora 9b1 kitchen...
i didnt notice this precise issue but i hated the way there was no message in sentbox and the sent message stayed in outbox for ages so reverted to ordinary texts
I'm not sure, but it might be related to the issue seen by the guys using the Palm 's Threaded SMS app... They have a theory over there that it's related to closing the app immediately...[post=1441023]
I had similar problem, when something happend with my 3G connection. Sometimes it stuck. I can't make a call, and no one can call me. ( 3G icon appears )And when i try to send sms, it stuck for a while, and then sends few sms's in the same time...

Messages not threading correctly

Hey guys im using htc messenger. i dont like arcsoft as it eventually forces me to read messages via all messages. the thing with htc is it groups sent together with recieved on top instead of sent received sent received driving me nuts anyone know a fix?
I had this problem when I was flashing different roms, this worked for me once, and the other time it didnt and had no choice to delete the msgs (If thats an option for you) the first time with the HTC I went and changed the sms to traditional mode, and then exited (Thru task manager in the start menu) sms, then powered down the phone, then turned it back on and then went back to sms and changed it back to conversation mode and it fixed it, the second time that didnt work, because some how the time date stamp of the msgs got messed up and it was putting msgs inbetween msgs, so since the first way didnt work, I just backed it up and then cleared my sms. But try the first way and see if that fixes your problem.

[Q]Cant sent out MMS

I didnt notice until lately, cuz I had no problem to receive MMS. I was trying to send pic to friends, but my MMS was pending for a long time. I mean, I checked delivery report, nothing came up. Also, while it's pending, SMS had no problem to be sent. I m not sure it's just me or other has the similar problem here. FYI, i tried Handcent and ChompSMS, both got the issue. Anyone knows how to fix the problem?
I do really appreciate it, Merry Xmax, and happy new year to you guys.
Are you running a custom ROM? Could be due to the fact that the custom ROM has the MMS fix that ups the limit to 5MB so its taking a while for the MMS to get sent. You can try to go to your messages, settings, and reduce the max limit from 5MB down to 2MB or lower.

Text Messages (mostly MMS) not showing up for hours...

I got a friend of mine to switch from an iPhone to an S3 and he called me yesterday explaining that he is having trouble getting all MMS text messages ( and sometimes regular texts too). He eventually gets them but they are hours later. He is using Go SMS but the stock messaging app is not working any better.
I went through all my settings with him to make sure he was set up the same as I am and he was. So I cannot figure out why he is getting all his MMS texts so late.
Sometimes he gets a message that says there is a media download and gives and expiration time but there is no attachment with it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same issue when I switched from iPhone to my s3.... Ask him if his mobile data is ON. if not the phone will not download the attachment even if on wifi the mobile data has to be on for it to work.
Also make sure his data plan has been changed to a lte plan.

Make sure that the date, time, and time zone settings are correct
I switched from the iphone 4 to the SIII and I too had this same issue.
My buddy who also had an iphone was trying to text me but I would get it hours late. Remember when Iphone users could start messaging each other without the cost of text? I have a strong feeling this was the issue. I actually didn't do anything to fix the problem, it last about 5 days and with enough usage of the phone I finally started to get my texts on time.

Textra: Can't Get MMS

With no changes made to my AT&T Note 4, Textra started throwing this error up in the notification window:
Can't Get MMS
Check Textra>MMS>APN
In a group message, photos were being shared by 4 different people. The Textra icon shows that there are 68 unread messages, which I know can't be true. When I bring up the group thread, only a couple of the text messages are being shown. And I cannot get it to stop showing that there are new messages. I've used Textra for a couple years now and have never had any kind of problem. Searching the interwebs gave me no answers.
In Textra, the Carrier send limit is set to 600KB.
MMS Behavior is set to "Legacy".
Manually configure APN is set to off.
Stagefright protection is set to on.
I fI turn on the "manually configure APN'" toggle, these are the settings:
MMSC
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy
proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy Port
80
I have never changed any of these settings. I rebooted the phone twice with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Almost sounds like carrier issue to me. Otherwise I recommend uninstall Textra and make the default messages app the stock text app. Test that.
I uninstalled Textra and am back to the Samsung messaging app. All seems good. Although, I think that there are several pictures that never made their way to me from that group thread. Very odd. I have never had a problem like that before.
I get this issue like every other month. I really hate how much AT&T has ****ed this phone. Only stock apps seem to not have issues any other apps **** up constantly.
I have this exact same issue on an HTC 10 with AT&T. It only seems to happen after I get sent a MMS(mostly from my wife, who is also on AT&T, but that is where the vast majority of my texts come from) . If she resends the exact same photo a little later it will usually go through. I have the most current version of Textra(per the play store) and have the APN settings manually configured to the correct settings. This issue only happens to me once a week or so but it is driving me nuts. Rebooting doesn't seem to have an effect and it seems to stop incrementing the unread message count after awhile. It almost seems like AT&T is attemping to send an undeliverable MMS that gets stuck in an outgoing queue(until it eventually times out), and every resend attempt increments the Textra unread message count and kicks out a Textra MMS APN error message. Perhaps Textra says "Hey, we have a new unread message" when it first begins to receive the data, rather than after successfully receiving it? I dunno what is going on with it. Meanwhile, my stock messaging app doesn't see or do anything, it is oblivious. If anyone figures out how to fix it or what is really going on with it, please let us know. I think this is more carrier or textra related, as opposed to device specific.
Do you have an ad-blocker installed?
I thought I was the only one - I am also (currently) having this issue with Textra on AT&T (OnePlus 3). Has anyone figured out a fix? I love the app but that error message is incredibly annoying ... not to mention the fact that it pisses me off when I am missing pictures people are sending to me.
Contact the developer. I had a problem with Textra once (different issue) and they were prompt with suggestions for a for fix with the problems I was having.
I tried all kinds of messaging app on my Note 4: Textra, Google Messenger, Hangout, etc. They all didn't receive MMS at all and needed to revert back to the stock message app. It's funny though since I have no problem receiving MMS through Textra in my Axon Pro 7
