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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Go SMS will send/receive mms when connected to Wi-Fi but not if you have Wi-Fi calling also on. Not sure there's a way around this. However the stock messaging app works on wifi even with Wi-Fi calling on. But even with the issue I still prefer to use go SMS pro over stock or handcent mainly due to it's iPhone mms group chat capabilities. Handscent seems to have a lot of issues with this feature.

Bone stock should be able to send/receive mms over wifi calling. If you are using a ROM I have no idea, you'll have to reach out to the developer of your ROM. If you have done the mods to enable group mms, you'll have to revert back to your stock SecMms.apk to send/receive via wifi calling then switch back to your modded SecMms.apk. Unless someone has made a fix but I haven't been able to find any yet.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
