I'm using a Verizon HTC One M8 and have recently noticed that whenever I send a group text in the Messages app it sends as SMS to each individual instead of an MMS to the group. When I access any thread with multiple people the phone says "Converting to MMS message..." I've checked through the settings to ensure "Group conversation" is enabled and I'm not exactly sure what the Connection settings should be but I have the following...
Name: MMS
MMSC: http:/mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS proxy: (not set)
MMS port: (not set)
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
Strangely enough if I integrate SMS into Google Hangouts then I can send group texts just fine, but I would rather use the Messages app since having texts in Hangouts is pretty messy.
When sending from the Messages app I've noticed an icon of 2 people next to any text where it's supposed to be a group text. If I send a group text from Hangouts and then go back to Messages the icon isn't there. Then there's also the message details and when the 2-people icon is there the phone numbers goes to Cc: instead of the To: field.
Any feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

While that's a valid workaround it's not a solution to my problem.
I have tested Textra and it acts similarly to Hangouts in the sense that MMS messages are "unstable" even when I have strong signal strength or if I'm on WiFi. The messages will either send immediately (rarely) or they will linger for a while before sending or linger and fail to send at all.

I got this phone last week, coming from an EVO 4G with which I used Go SMS Pro for years with no problems with MMS whatsoever. However, now with the Optimus G I'm having some serious problems. Group messages and MMS aren't working properly with GoSMS Pro. Namely, they aren't being sent - unless I send them from the stock messages app. Is anyone else having this problem? I've heard of people reseting their APN settings, but I'm not sure how to do this since it's not in the settings menu. I've tried manually entering APN settings for GoSMS Pro and the settings I've tried haven't worked:
MMSC:
- (New users can't post outside links? This isn't a link! It's sprintpcs mms)
MMS PROXY:
68.28.31.7
MMS PORT:
80
Things work just fine with the stock app, but as I'm sure we've all noticed, the stock messaging app is both unattractive and not very smooth. My question is: Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it? Any help/suggestions/advice is much appreciated!
Mine is working fine. I went ahead and set every option in go sms to manual though.
User Agent - LS970 SPRINT
User Profile Url - http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS970-SPRINT/LS970ZV8.rdf It cuts the url short, so click this link then copy the address.
MMSC - http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy - 68.28.31.7
MMS Port - 80
Hope that helps!
Help with MMS message with Google Voice via KitKat.
I recently upgraded to KitKat.
Now I can't send out MMS messages with my cell phone number..
Before KitKat I would usually just open Handcent and the MMS message would send out over the cell number instead of GoogleVoice.
Now when I'm using Hangouts, Handcent and others. My MMS messages are not going out. The phone is using GV to send it out..
Anyone have a resolution..
I figured out my issue..
I have two google accounts and the google account that was NOT associated with GV was chosen.
I would have thought it would still have sent the MMS message via my cell carrier...
The weird is that I was still receiving GV text messages...
Oh well, it's working now..

Anyone got this to work correctly? AFAICT, only thing I'm able to send is text messages- pictures just won't send or receive. I tried switching to manual APN settings but it looks like only 3 properties are exposed:
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Proxy Port
... it's like where are the rest??? (MCC, MCN, Authentication Type, APN Type)
PS: I have an email out to the Textra developer(s), hopefully they can advise on this. In the meantime, if there's something I'm missing please feel free to point it out

So I gave up on Textra... installed Hello SMS then that wasn't working out. Went back to Textra and voila ... for some reason, now MMS messaging is working as expected. Whodathunkit?
that's really odd, i've had no issues with mms on ATT.
i use evolve, stock, hangouts, hello and qk sms.
did you check the main apn settings to see if something isn't borked there?
Like the title says, I cannot send mms messages. I recieve group messages and pics but when ever I try to send an mms it fails. It has worked perfectly up until today. Any advice?
Edit: Fixed
Try updating prl and profile. Are you using stock messaging?
I went into data menu ##3282# went into MMSC changed MMSC URL to http://mms.plspictures.com and now i can send mms from a themed mms app made for tmobile variant. Don't know why but that worked for me.
Credit goes to @sml2004
When I send mms messages to some people they only get half the picture or it just says no image ?
Mines been working perfectly. I use hangouts for SMS and MMS messages so it merges with Google chat, but I've had no issues yet.
