Sms issues? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Has Anybody been having issues with texts lately? It seems like my messages are not getting through. Maybe happens once every 10 messages.
Idk if it's my network or the rom but I think it might be the network.

I had similar problems with att settings on my phone and it was the APN settings that were off a little. Had http:/ instead of http:// for the mmsc and it wasn't downloading or sending. Not sure if you touched your APN settings but if you did double check them.

Has anyone had problems sending or receiving picture text messages? I can't receive them or send them... can someone help me.

I have problems sending and mostly receiving picture text messages using Handcent. I sent them an email. I think is how they set the APN.
Picture text messages work fine on stock message app.
Are you using stock message app? Check your APN settings for your carrier.
Note 3

no problems here with stock or gosms apps.
still running stock build, I'm on tmobile's network.

In my apt i don't get service, so the messages have the circle and are waiting to send. When i gain service it still won't send. A simple restart usually fixes for me and messages go through. Try clearing the data on messages app. Turn off phone take your sim out and put it back in and see what luck you get.

For me, 3rd party MMS apps only seem to send /receive messages after a reboot. Not sure what the problem is.

Gosms is not working for me.

Only SMS issue I have is when you open up a text from the lockscreen, you type in words and it doesn't show at all. Gotta exit out then go back into the text and it'll work.

I just started having MMS issues yesterday. I have tried uninstalling the update to Hangouts, clearing cache in the Messaging app and Hangouts, force stopping both, and clearing caches, reboots, toggling data, I can't seem to get an MMS to send or receive. Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday the 18th? It's driving me crazy!

From what I have seen this is a T-mobile problem as it has started happening with MANY phones.

I had this issue the other day. I ended up uninstalling the SMS app I was using which was Hancent and the issue went away.
I am currently using SMS Popup along with Chomp SMS and it appears to be working okay.

I assume you mean you cannot send MMS as sms is text and you said that worked ..
Try a different SMS/MMS like GO SMS or Handcent ... this is kind of a known issue, if you are on wifi calling it will not work ...
No I mean regular SMS not mms I get data and I can still make and receive calls It just sits on sending

MMS over WiFi Calling

Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.

Didn't work for me unfortunately..
This doesnt work. Mines just switches to 4g to send it then back to wifi..
Well sorry guys. It's supposed to be the fix from Samsung and its worked for me numerous times.

Wifi mms has never worked. Been on a bunch of t mobile phones and it has never ever worked. Yes I can send mms while on wifi cause the phone switches to 4g to send

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.
I have tried that technique but it failed.....

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!
MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it

[Fixed] Can't get MMS to work with aftermarket apps?

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.

Not receiving notifications for MMS.

I am using Go SMS pro. I have notifications turned off in default app, and on in Go SMS. I get notifications fine from standard msgs but not MMS. It worked fine up until a few days ago when i noticed that i would get an MMS but not a notification for it. So i wouldnt know that i had one until i manually checked my text list.
Any idea of what to try?
bump. anyone?

I would make sure it's not a network problem by deleting the app and making sure the stock MMS app still works. Have you tried emailing the developer of the app your problem?

I wouldn't bother emailing the dev. They are some of the worst at replying. They focus mainly on their targeted user base in china.

MMS problems?

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.

Do those apn settings work over wifi? I have t-mobile wifi calling for a majority of the day and no data. The stock sms app works fine, but like others I want to use textra.

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?
