I use hangouts for regular SMS and when I send a reply via voice on the watch the person received it twice...?
Anyone have any similar issues or suggestions?
I have had this issue. It shows up twice in my hangouts but only one instance on the other end.
Yeah... it's borked here too. It appears to be using the Messaging app to send texts even though my default sms client is set to Hangouts.
How long has Google had to get hangouts right?
I'm using 8sms now which fixed it entirely
My default is set to hangouts but it will still send a SMS via my carrier # and not my Google Voice #....which really sucks.

So, I did the GPS fix on June 21st with the ##code# and the msl code. After that, my parents said they sent a text, but I haven't gotten it. Most people use my google voice number, but a few have the old sprint number.
Anyway, I can send a text. I just don't receive a text message. I booted in a march cm6 backup and couldn't get text messsages that way either. Could send, just not receive. I can make and receive calls, and voicemails go to my google voice number.
I have a stock sense backup from december that I can boot into, but am getting tired of rebooting.
Any suggestions. Open for just about anything.
I decided to do a 786 reset, and it cannot update my profile. I am hoping that is because i have a triangle above my wireless signal. Kinda out in bfe as of right now.
My messages will randomly go to google voice instead of messages. That could be a problem as well.

I had this problem yesterday after a fresh flash of CM7.1, and stumbled upon the answer. I wasn't receiving text messages in Messaging OR Handcent SMS - and I have my sprint number ported over to Google Voice. I went over to the Voice app and went to Settings>Sync and Notifications and made sure that Text Message Notification was selected. When I did, the SMS messages going to GV went to my messaging apps too.
Conversely, you could just use GV as your messaging app...

This works like a charm. I am going to post this link in a couple of other places where people are running down CM. Double Thanks!
So I disabled Texting on my GS3 and opted for google voice which can push texts to my phone. I'm not sure if I can receive or send MMS/picture messages on my phone through data only. anyone know any solutions?

Not trying to sound like a smart ass, but why not just email the picture? quality stays the same and no compression
aside from that maybe via apps like GroupMe, WhatsApp Messenger? (although they also have to have the app as well)
I wouldn't mind downloading an App to send picture messages but I want it to be similar to google voice in how they allow my contacts to virtually do nothing different. is there a way to directly send pictures to numbers that isn't reliant on a 3rd party app by both sender/receiver? If I have to resort to email that's fine but I'd just like to do everything through phone contacts if it is possible.

Yes you can email to phones. For T-Mobile the addy is usually like this
Code:
[email protected]
The easiest way to get other carriers email would be to have them email to your phone, then you will have their addy aswell.

[email protected]
Does anyone else have issues with sending SMS on aosp Roms? I've searched for an answer but can't seem to find what the issue is.
What messenger service are you using? I use hangouts which requires an internet connection. As long as your APNs are set correctly you should be able to send and receive no problem.

Thanks. I use hangouts also but I found what was keeping me from sending SMS. It was voice+, I use Google voice and every time I restored all my apps(google voice included) it would activate voice+ and not allow me to send messages through SMS because of some setting. It wasn't till I restored each app one by one and tested SMS that I figured it out.
Glad I did though.
Before I switched to sprint I had used T-Mobile LG G3. The default messaging app split long text messages into two or three, and I received long messages in similar chunks. But I used the Textra messaging app and it ceased to do that. Long messages sent as one as well as receiving 500+ character text.
Now, being with sprint the problems have re-appeared and I an unable to fix it. Textra does not change the sms limits so I send multiple text to friends and likewise with receiving. This is not a huge issue just a major inconvenience and a nuisance.
Are there setting I'm messing, apps that will help, anything i can do to keep long message as one? Please and thank you for your help.
I think it's a Sprint issue. I've been with them for a long time and always remember this happening. However, if there is a fix, I'd love to know it also.

Sprint has the 160 character limit for SMS texting. If you want to text longer messages as a single message, you either need to use an instant messaging app like Google Hangouts (though those require the recipient to also have the messaging app), or find a texting app that can convert long messages to MMS if it goes past the 160 character limit. These solutions will convert the SMS to MMS or other forms of data, though, so just be aware of that if you have some sort of data limit.
If the converting SMS to data is not a viable solution, a quick google search revealed this app: BigSMS, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skezza.main&hl=en.
It supposedly can make long texts, but I have never used it myself, so I can't comment on if it works or not.

As I said before, I used Textra in the past and my messages were sent as one and I received long messages as one. I recently downloaded EvolveSms which fixed the issue of my messages being split by converting them into MMS (which i have no problem with at all) but I still got 4 separate chunks of their message. I know there's an option to reassemble split messages but it seems to not be working. I'll go to a sprint store to see if there's an issue there or not.

Ok, Good luck with with the Sprint customer rep. The split SMS thing never bothered me since I've been on Sprint for a very long time. However, I did a quick google search, and it does seem like some devices have native support for recombining received SMS messages, like the Sprint Galaxy S 5, so it does look like it can work. Hopefully they can do it on the G4 as well.
I'm having a consistent problem where text messages in a group text (MMS) are LONG delayed both in sending and receiving. If I login to Verizon Messages online, the messages come through timely, so I'm thinking it must be something specific with the phone.
I generally use Google Messages as the default SMS app, but I've tried using the stock Samsung as well as the Verizon Messages+ app and the same issue persists.
Any ideas from anyone?
Thanks!

I've been rocking Signal SMS and it's been pretty solid thus far.
