I recently had my sprint s3 switched to straighttalk. So far I'm happy with my choice. But when all was said and done I was told to download gosms to recieve SMS messages. I hate using aftermarket messaging apps. I have tried editing the APN but nothing works. I am running stock JB. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, the consensus is to use Go SMS.
Ok thank you

Wow....gotta revive an old thread. I also did this, but can't even get goSMS or handcent to work. I actually like those 3rd party apps. I know that apn can be changed within both of those, I just don't know what they are. I also am very happy that I switched

If anyone else is interested......my Sprint GS3 is flashed to StraightTalk, using Verizon towers. I am using GOSMS Pro for MMS.
My mmsc is as follows

My MMS port is as follows

Everything else is left blank. You change those in advance settings

Hello everybody I been having trouble sending mms over 3g. 4g and wifi work perfectly fine but 3g doesn't send for me. Could somebody test this out first before posting your opinion thanks. I've tried Calkium's 1.6, Venuim's latest ROM version 0.1.1, cyanogen mod 9 alpha 4, and paranoid Android 1.3. Pretty much any ROM I have tried.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
Which Rom? More details always helps those trying to help you at the other end
Edit: Works for me, it might be Sprint's network at the time? Try GoSMSPro if you are using CM9, AOKP or MIUI, I even use it with TW roms

It does on our phone! I'm not sure if it's a Samsung thing but the E4GT does send mms on wifi. However if I disable the stock messaging app thru Handcent it would no longer work on wifi or 4g and sticks to 3g only..

Incorrect. MMS is only sent over 1x/3g in the stock messaging app. If you are in wifi or 4g it will activate 3g to send/receive the mms. Third party messaging apps have been known to work over wifi though.

Sorry but I'm not incorrect. My phone sends mms on wifi and 4g.. I can disable my 3g and send a mms thru 4g or wifi with no issue. I've tested this plenty of times and it works. It's a feature that kicked in on el29. Back in the previous builds it worked the way u mentioned but not anymore.. At least not on my phone.

No MMS over 3G
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Calk's last ICS ROM and i have updated the mmsc URL for my carrier (credo mobile) but I cannot send MMS on 3g. I can however, on 4G and Wi-fi.
And I do not have "handcent".

I really doubt you're sending MMS over wifi or 4G, as MMS only travels over the 3G network and in some cases the 1x network.
Download Go SMS Pro, and in the MMS settings area, enter your carriers MMS apn and see if you can send.

I know there was a thread on this before, but for some reason I can't find it. Currently I'm using Frosty JB V1 and I know it's not the rom issue it's a general issue.
When I receive MMS from people it shows the picture like it's a video but it's obviously just a picture. Can someone direct me to the thread that has the resolution for this?
Thanks!

Correct. It's how the stock app works for whatever reason. Go SMS doesn't have that issue.
I am having problems with go SMS and hand cent and crunch SMS getting able to send Mms. The stock app works fine but all the aftermarket ones can't send messages. I am on nexus4 on att. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Its an Android 4.2 issue, couldn't get Handcent or Chomp to work on my GNex either. Interesting thing I found is if I use Handcent to start a text to a group I have set up then delete Handcent and finish the MMS with the stock app I get an error like "You are not authorized for this service" this is on Straight Talk At&t. If I add each person individually with the stock app the MMS goes through.

Hey I got this to work today. Turns out you have to type your MMS APN settings manually into the SMS app, as I guess they no longer can access the settings themselves.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure exactly what youa re referring to in the app? Can you post a screenshot? Are you creating a seperate APN for SMS/MMS?
Thanks in advance.

Is anyone else having problems with third party SMS programs? I've tried textra, gosms, and 8sms. I can't get MMS to work at all. I've tried manually inputting the settings and it still hangs or errors. Has anyone had similar issues, or a fix? Thanks in advance.

handcent seems very buggy. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Yes. I've tried Textra and Chomp and they both don't work.
I've actually been going back and forth via emails with textra developers for two days and they came to a conclusion that they are having issues with multiple Note 3's
They will email me when they have a solution. When I find out, I'll keep you posted

I figured as much. I don't think it's going to be on their end though. It seems like something in the messenger settings on the note is breaking it if it's all sms apps
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Youre right. They probably need to update this phone for a fix. I hope there's a fix soon.
I hate the stock messenger for group MMS. Its slow, laggy, and I get that stupid No Subject for every group text. Textra is amazing and I can't wait to start using it again.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I will say, if you use 8sms, and leave the stock sms app alone it all still works. If you install textra MMS is completely broken
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I had the same problem with Textra (love this app). After researching and testing different APN settings, I finally found the one that works like a charm.
Create a new APN and use the values from the screen shots I have attached. Don't forget to enable "activate data" in Textra MMS settings. Then reboot and enjoy.

On wifi yes, not on wifi calling. That's something only enabled in stock sms app.
So I'm not totally sure what is different in my settings from others. However my MMS was not working over wifi when I used the new APN. I eventually turned wifi calling to use "cellular network when available" and all of a sudden it seems to be working. I had the setting in textra selected to use data when sending and receiving, but it didn't seem to be doing anything

Anyone having issues with Textra not being able to send MMS once or twice a day? I keep getting the red exclamation mark and have to reset my phone for it to work. Bummer, I had to go back to stock messenger because it was getting way too annoying.

I noticed this is LTE, what if you are not in an LTE area? Will your phone switch to a different APN from this customized APN? And if it switched would MMS again be broken?
I have a Sprint gs3, running CM 11 Monthly snapshot 3.
At first, everything worked as expected. For some reason now, I am unable to send mms. I've been trying to change my apn, tried other mms apps, all to no avail. Anyone know of a solution to this?
Ask questions in the questions forum, and update profile and prl. Sprint is doing a lot of work lately.
