I am running CM11 on the virgin mobile variant and the only way to receive MMS while on 3G/roaming indicator on , is to use the hangouts app. I recall this being the case on other phones I've owned too. Does anybody know why this is or what hangouts secret is? I'd like to use either the default messaging app or textra at least. I don't understand what's making it work on Hangouts only.

So I'm running CM11 on Madmacks latest build and everything is working perfectly except MMS and Textra. I use Hangouts and it works Ok, but I hate the notification and sometimes I miss texts because it won't work with LightFlow... at least not for me.
Textra allows me to setup repeating vibrations and it works just fine for texts, but will not work for MMS. I've tried to configure the APN for MMS using every setting I could find on google to no avail. Just keeps saying it won't work.
it won't even work with the stock messaging app that's why I suspect APN is the problem, not the app. I'm using the default phone APN and LTE.
Any ideas for getting Textra to work or even the stock messaging app?
My girlfriend has an S4 mini from Canada (SGH-I257M, Telus but unlocked and being used on AT&T in the US). She dislikes using the stock messaging app and prefers to use Google Hangouts for SMS as she did on her old phone. The issue is that it will not notify or say that theres a new text message unless she goes into the app itself to check. Other apps such as Handcent SMS and the stock app work fine. I have tried disabling all other SMS apps and deleting and reinstalling Hangouts. It has not worked. MMS/picture messages will have notifications from hangouts.
Hangouts does work fine with SMS for me on my Verizon SCH-I435 however. Not sure what the problem could be. I at first thought it was bad APN settings so I looked up the correct AT&T settings and put them in.
Any solutions would be helpful.

On my gf's G3, Viber texts will show in the stock messaging app but not in Hangouts (even when Hangouts is set as the default messaging app). Any way to fix this?
Also, I rooted it and froze most of the of the AT&T bloatware that came on it and now her contacts don't show names (just phone numbers). Any idea which one might be responsible for this? I tried unfreezing AT&T Address Book but it's still the same thing.
Hi,
There is no way to integrate Viber into Hangouts. You can enable the Free reply with Viber option, but that only applies to regular network SMS messages.

Hi all, Just recently picked up the G3 after Trading in my HTC One M8. I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS while my wifi is on when using Evolve SMS. I know that Textra has a work around built in where it turns off Wifi To send the MMS over Data but I don't really care for the look of Textra. I'm not sure if maybe my settings are off with Evolve as when I had my M8 it would send and receive with no problem. Anyone else having issues with this or know of any other 3rd party MMS apps that have the work aroudn built in like Textra?
Thanks,
Believe it or not every phone is different. Download and test. What works for me hasn't worked for others

It depends on the app. I have issues with hello sms, but had them with the Nexus 5 too. Chomp SMS works more reliably, but I never know if I'm missing messages. I've resorted to using hangouts with the SO for images, and use texting for sms only.
Convincing other users to jump on yet another messaging app is always a hassle.

I went back to the stock messaging app because it was the only one that seemed to send and receive everything reliably while on wifi calling mode.
I mean, for one example, Google Hangouts doesn't even offer to resize pictures - and when you have a hard message size limit, that's a deal breaker. (The stock app indicates 1 MB is it.)
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if it is possible to text someone just by using your Wi-Fi. I don't have the best of service, so I often get text messages really late. Is there any app that I can use that will allow me to receive messages over Wi-Fi? I've heard about Google Hangouts before, is it a good replacement to use instead of the stock messaging app? Also, what don't you like about Hangouts? Thanks a lot for your answers!

The above statement is accurate about Verizon messages, not a bad app either. Hangouts works great for video chatting and phone calls over wifi too but if you are just needing messaging, I would go with Verizon messaging as the other user of hangouts would have to have a gmail account. While I realize most people do, now, have a gmail account I have found many people do not want to message in Hangouts.
