I have be searching for a solution since November for the Note 4...
Google Messenger is nice, simple and I like the Material design. However, it has an issue on our phone with MMS and attachments on Wifi...
If someone sends me a pic as part of a group MMS text, it doesn't download and it will sit there for 5 minutes or so, and the app cannot send or receive anything while it is sitting there lagging... So if someone else sends me a normal text, I won't get it until the app finishes whatever it thinks it is doing.
I have searched and searched and it seems the problem is pretty well known and documented, but I don't see a single fix for it... Some report that changing or editing the APN settings fixes it, but VZW locks that down, so we cannot use that.
The phone has gotten 2 OTA's since then, still doesn't work... Google Messenger has been updated a few times, still no fix... Going on 4 months now, surely someone must have noticed this and addressed it?
I see people all over the web having similar issues, with other phones even...
Something is borked with Google Messenger but I cannot for the life of me figure out what... Driving me nuts!

...I may have messed something up...but cannot get a download to work out of market or appbrain. Decided to try talk too...(last time this was issue was due to my gmail account).
But I can get to gmail from phone but not sign into talk. So talk and market are not working so well for me.
Anyone else? (Did I miss a thread and will people now flame?) I looked but nothing posted recently.
on talk i get an upload arrow, but i never get the download/return arrow. tested against web pages and i get both arrows to light up while page loading. not a signal issue.
Magic...now it works...bleh.
I'm using TSM GingerBliss and noticed the timestamps for incoming messages with the HTC messaging app are 3 hours earlier than my phone's current time. Haven't seen this before and haven't quite gotten around to testing with GoSMS or another app. Does anyone know why this is happening, or what file/setting I need to modify to correct this?
I would've posted this in the development area but I haven't posted enough past posts, and it's probably suitable for the general area anyway.
I am running TSM Bliss too but my time stamp is correct. I am not sure what is going on. I would try another messaging app to see if it is wrong there too. If so then you know it isn't the messaging app. There could be some sort of lag on your local Verizon network at the moment.
Hmm, thank you, and good thought on the Verizon lag, but I'm not sure if that's the issue though. As an initial test I sent myself a message, which returns within a few seconds with a timestamp 3 hours earlier than my phone's time. I'll try another app to check as well.
As a temporary fix I installed 'SMS Time Fix' which helps, but I'm curious now as to the actual problem.
Same here man idk what's going on
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
honestly, i dont know why its doing that for some and not others..and tbh i dont know (ive poured through the xmls) and not seen why/what would be doing that
Yeah, that makes two of us so far I've tried with the stock and GoSMS apps with the same result. The SMS Time Fix app does work at fixing the timestamp, but I'm curious as to how it does this which could lead to some ideas. Newt's Inc2HD ROM has the same issue.
So does the messaging system rely on time zone info? I'm heading to another time zone so I'll be able to test that.
Ok, so I'm in Kansas City, and now the timestamps of my incoming messages are 2 hours behind. So for some reason the messaging system thinks I'm in the Pacific time zone. Maybe it's using my home zip code that I have setup through Verizon, which is in California...not sure. Another strange thing is that MMS are not affected, only SMS, go figure.
However, I might have found a setting on my flight over that could work. Maybe someone can confirm this, but in the folder
/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs
there is a file
com.android.mms.customizationBySIM.xml
that has a line
<boolean name="SMS_Use_Device_Time" value ="false" />
I changed it to true, and now all the incoming messages use my phone's time, even after restart. I don't know, maybe that was added by the SMS Time Fix app, sounds promising though. Any thoughts?
Some come tru others dont unless people add text to pic
Some of my MMSs won't download either. I never thought of it being related to whether or not there's text with them before but will keep an eye out.
I thought it might be limited to MMSs from particular contacts so keeping an eye on that and will tidy up my contacts details if needed.
The two I successfully received from my wife had text in them. The one I got from my buddy had no text, and I couldn't download the pic in that one. I then sent one to my wife with no text, but she said she got it, so I don't know what the situation is. My buddy's which didn't come through was sent from TMo > VZN, whereas my wife and I each have the GNex so perhaps it's a content + carrier combination.
Early adopters = late beta testers
I love the phone but wanna smash it sometimes

im on 4.0.2 i have noticed that hancent has updated twice since last week with improvements to allow the programs to run on ICS more smoothly hopefully there will be something soon
Try turning on your lte radio, see if maybe its a network issue?
"unfortunately, the process com.handcent.nextsms has stopped"
definately a weird issue
Aye I've received 2 MMSs from people on AT&T. One worked (it was a video), the other didn't (picture). I had to hold-click on the message and say "Download Attachment", then browse to the file using Astro to see it.
Haven't tried sending any yet...
Anyone come up with a fix? or do we have to wait for google?
My gf's verizon s8+ does not ping her when she receives a new email in gmail app. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

There are a lot of reported issues with this. A lot of reported fixes too. If you search the S8 forums you can find some info. However, I have never been able to get the issue fixed long term. I have been able to get it to work for a while by reinstalling gmail, wiping data, etc, but this gets to be a pain. I am using Aquamail. I tried Bluemail and it was fine, but I like Aqua better. There are probably other good ones. I always get notifications now. Not the best answer, but it works.
Edit - I also tried all of the battery tricks like having a bunch of google apps not optimized and that didn't help.
Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong spot. I have a Pixel 2 XL(obviously) and had been on the Android beta program for some time now. The android p beta had been running really solid for me with no issues. So when they pushed it out officially last week i of course went for it. However, all of a sudden now, when *sending* texts, it gives me a notification sound (same as incoming notification). Anyone run into this? I searched the forums briefly but didnt see anyone with the issue although I couldve missed it.
Note- I'm using the Google Messages(I believe thats the official name) app, I just prefer it to Hangouts. I did check the settings, and disabled the setting for outbound notification sounds- but it persists.
Here's the kicker- it cant be isolated to just me, as my mom has the same phone -she messaged me last week and asked if she should update (I'm typically the guinea pig) and I said yep, been rock solid for me.. now she's getting the exact same behavior. So barring it being the messages app itself which i suppose is possible, I dont know.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I havent tried a different messenger app yet, suppose I could(textra maybe), I'm just partial to this one for whatever reason.
Thanks in advance!
Disregard. I guess its specific to Android Messages app. Installed another text app and the issue went no longer occurs.
I have the same issue with my Android Messages app
