Is anyone having problems receiveings text msgs?
I'm not receiving my confirmation text from qik to enable video chat.
I am. I have been trying for days requesting it over and over and nothing happens
I am getting text from other people, but still no confirmation text from Qik. Are we the only two with this problem?
sms delay
anyone experiencing this?
no, everything's alright here in ....
Hi, just to report that here in Los Angeles everything's alright and working. Even here where I live I get 2 bars of 4G and just that is really, really FAST!!
anyone experiencing sms error code 107 class 2??
any suggestions? anyone??
I was having problems also. I ported my number from ATT and SMS reception/sending was spotty at best for the first 2.5 days or so (the sprint rep I called about this quoted 72 hours as the magic number)
Did you port your number from a different carrier?
yes I ported from AT&T also...but I am getting text from other people...just not Qik. I even tried verifying from my PC...still nothing.
I have not been able to get the SMS from Qik either...I just don't think they are sending it.
i'm having issues as well, can't receive or send mms to/from myself, droid incredible or iphone.
anyone have any answers???

can you check the settings in your default messaging app... go to connections for mms and see if the two fields in the middle have [not set] listed or if they actually have entries. Mine say they aren't set.

Did you port as well? If you did go into system updates and update your PRL. I had my number ported and had this issue up until I did a PRL update.
My friend just sent me a picture to my google voice number. I received the text message part just fine, but the actual picture was rerouted to my email address associated with my GV account. So I received the picture! Can anyone else confirm that this works for them?
I can't seem to respond from my email account back to my friend with a picture, nor can i send a picture from GV to my friend in response. But this hasn't ever happened to me before, so I am a little excited!
Yes, this the new and half-baked MMS feature in GV. As long as you've got GV set up to email a copy of your messages you can view pics and whatnot via email.
If they're on Sprint and send you MMS then you will receive it in your email inbox. This has been true since Sprint started integrating GV.

Truth but I never like the combo specially if you have bad sprint reception SMS would get delay and drain too much battery

I have been wondering about this, does it email you EVERY text or just the ones that are big enough to be mms?
Sent from my... wait... I don't remember what phone OR ROM I'm using anymore!

Just an FYI, T-Mobile doesn't support MMS to Voice yet. So, MMS sent from a T-Mobile number won't reach Voice, but MMS from Sprint will.
yeah, as it happens, she is on Sprint, but she sent it from her iphone. I tried doing it from my work phone (iphone on verizon) and send one to my gv number from my gnex, and neither worked. Sorry to rehash old news, I guess.

Every SMS is sent to email. Best way is to create a filter so that all "SMS From" subjects you set to auto read and archive and label SMS.
That way when you do get a real MMS, you can go to Gmail real quick, pull up the SMS folder and see the SMS email with the picture.

Yes, as I said this is very old news. Sprint GV users sending MMS to other GV users gets forwarded to their email.
is this still working for people / does it work with all carriers?
I tested it a while back, sending an mms from my sprint phone to a secondary gvoice account (not the one associated with my number), and it worked fine.
I've had several people on other carriers try to send me MMS to that same gvoice number, and none of them worked. Has anyone had it work for other carriers?
I'm trying to test it out as we speak. Enabled forwarding to my email address. Only getting SMS, no MMS.

It only works coming from Sprint users who have GV integration. Its not working in any other situation.

No because MMS to Google Voice only works with Sprint users.

I just set up the Voice App on my Photon Q (with Sprint) have my Sprint Number enabled as my GV number. Had friend send me a MMS from At&t went to the standard MMS app on the phone. Didn't show up in Voice or Email. I don't have sms to email turned on because it alerts me 2 times (once for email once for text). That isn't very efficient and rather annoying.
I just adjusted the settings to forward SMS to email and the same response... The MMS went through on the phones stock messaging app even though google voice is set to receive all Messages...
This would be super cool to have working seamlessly!
MMS to Google Voice number from any carrier
I was having problems with sending and receiving mms from my Tmo Note 2 and needed options.
I install "go sms pro" (free)
It works well with sending and receiving mms through the app.
I tested it out on GV and I can send a pic mms to my google voice number and it will pop up in my inbox as a text and can see the picture.
The only thing I am trying to find out is how to send mms from GV number to my cell ???
Any thoughts.
Is anyone else having problems with Handcent's group messaging feature? It has worked perfectly for me in the past, but recently I've had trouble sending a SMS to multiple recipients. The send icon just keeps spinning and the SMS never gets sent. I've been able to receive group messages (messages sent to me and other recipients), and they show up correctly on Handcent as threaded messages, but I have not been able to respond to them. If anyone has a fix or any insight, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using the CDMA version of the Galaxy Nexus, on Verizon, and a CM9 rom. Thanks!

I've had this same problem with Samsung SGS3, I receive group messages but when I reply it just flashes and nothing is ever sent. There is some bug in their program.
Both me and my wife had similar issues with handcent (nexus4g and epic4g). We switched to GOSMS and it seems to work better for us for group msg's. We have a few friends that we often group chat with and one of them use's handcent on his droid X and often has issues too.

Hello everyone, I would like to start by saying thank you to everyone here, all of your posts, info, etc has been excellent in helping me along my way to learning enough about this stuff to be dangerous to mine & my friends phones...we're all still using them so that's a "Win" in my book
Now, on to my problem. I've tried googling & searching posts here, and I don't know if it's just the terminology I've searched but I've found nothing similar to my problem except where a thread had to do with EMBS messages coming through incorrectly.
First off, I'm on a Sprint Branded Samsung Epic Touch 4g Galaxy S II (whew that's a mouthful already) It is on Verizon Prepaid Service.
When I first set this phone up, everything worked correctly - Talk, Text, Web, MMS, WiFi Hotspot, Etc - all working perfectly. I was able to send & receive picture mail through MMS, etc.
I am currently running CyanogenMod 9-20120416-SNAPSHOT-epic4gtouch-Alpha 3
Android Ver 4.04
Kernel Ver 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD10-CL377892
This is the updates I installed to this phone originally:
gapps-ics-20120429-signed
StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5
update-cm-9-20120416-SNAPSHOT-epic4gtouch-alpha3-signed
mmsfix.zip (and made the correct changes for Verizon)
As I said, the phone was 100% functioning at this point for several days. The problem that came up happened out of nowhere, no changes were made to the phone whatsoever, not even a random app was installed from the market.
The only apps I have installed are
Wifi Tether (Rooted Users)
ES File Explorer
Facebook
GMail
Craigslist
Facebook Contact Sync
NFL Scoreboard
QR Droid
SuperUser
Rom Toolbox
Rom Manager
Terminal Emulator
Other than that, it's just what ICS & GApps Installed.
So here's the problem - whenever I recieve a text from anyone now, if it comes in multiple texts (ie 1/2, 2/2/ etc) it shows up as all special characters when I recieve it.
Here is the last one I got, I sent it from another phone on the same carrier - I just typed myself a message until I was sure it would be a 2 part message and this is what came through on my Epic
First Msg
ß<xp¿AcGÉ?üööysgOS&Læ;6lX9W/Ü<9rfEØΨ+FøÆ8xp¿A¥ìÅß<xqF<9$fÅz<EEggÜNixw¿

3vø)rlyscW/Ü>ñzsbEKΨ/ÜÆ_gGEìgVLhurd1äñ2AÅZ#ΛC<z¡@@@@@@@
Second Msg
Ü=ävhPfOÉ?N3vlY1cnÖ<yreIΨ/Ü<9rfEØC¥ìÅÆ8xpaCì
Λ(XΔA$éZTGøΔHEwì/ÖrsOà#Ec=P
I put it in a hex/text converter and the text version came up all "?'s" so I'm pretty much at a loss at this point.
I apologize for a long winded message, but I wanted to include as much information about my phone, etc as possible to get the best answer I could.
Again, thank you all and if anyone has any insight to what might be causing this, I would greatly appreciate the info.
Oh, and in case I didn't make it clear - at this moment, text works fine (if its only 1 text at a time incoming) I can send multiple page texts & the recipient gets them no problem, and I can send/recieve pictures, etc as mms with no problems...the problem only exists if it's multiple pages of text coming in at once.
Thanks
What happens if you use a 3rd party messaging app like handcent?

I just tried a few diff versions of Handcent, with the settings Default, then again with the settings on "Default SMS/MMS App (Disables Stock & Other Messaging Apps) and got the same results...
The wierd character code that comes through is exactly the same, both with the stock app & handcent in case that might be a question...
**Update**
I have Google Voice number sending voicemail converted as text to my phone on a secondary number. I got one today, was 3 pages SMS and it came through perfectly, right after that, I got a reg text from someone elses phone that was 2 pages, and it was the same type characters, and a few more since that were all the same special characters.
I've tested the Google Voice translation a few more times, and it comes through perfectly. I also tested just sending a multi-page text to my google voice number, which just forwarded the texts to my phone via SMS and they also come through perfectly.
So SMS from Google Voice in multiple texts works great, but from another phone do not.
If anyone has seen anything like this, I would love to know I'm not alone.
I'm having this exact same problem too. I noticed multiple texts incoming from certain people are fine, but when I receive multiple texts from a few others or a group sms from an iphone I get this really wonky characters. Any help would be appreciated. I am using this phone through pageplus.
I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

Doesn't work for me.
I installed Contacts+ and made it my default messaging app. Now MMS/group message works using MightyText.
MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.
Brian
I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.
Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent
