Note 4 Hangouts Problem - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot manage to use a different messaging app other than Hangouts. If I switch the default application to anything other than Hangouts I simply don't receive any texts at all. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I had issues with both hangouts and stock app as far as receiving/sending sms/mms (depending on which app I used) but somehow. I noticed that the issues happen with wifi calling enabled. Disabled, haven't had any problems since.

That's funny, because I can't receive any SMS or receive calls until I enable WiFi calling. After that, I can turn off WiFi calling and I still get SMS and calls. But if I reboot the phone, I have to enable WiFi calling again to "fix" it again. Then I can turn it off again if I so desire.

[Q] WiFi (Calling and regular) and SMS/MMS issues...

I cannot SEND SMS on WiFi calling IF I am set to Cellular preferred but connected to WiFi calling. I do recieve.
IF it is set to WiFi Preferred then I can send and receive SMS.
Sending/receiving MMS is a No Go on any WiFi calling and even when on Cellular calling IF I am connected to a WiFi network.
My Galaxy S4 did not have these issues! Its very... annoying. Anyone have experience in this?? Will there be an update? Is there anything I can do?
I am not yet rooted (still in the lets make sure this crap works first phase).
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. It will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use.
Some third party apps are having MMS issue, Handcent just fixed their app. Are you using stock to send MMS?

I use GoSMS, have for a long time. Ill try the Tweakker and stock messaging for the MMS. I am still confused as to why it would NOT send SMS if set to Cellular preferred but will if set to WiFi preferred. Either way the Wifi Calling is active on the same network.

Very odd issues all the way around while using wifi calling. MMS will come in but I get blank messages in stock and gosms BUT the pics so fine in hangouts.
Oh, and I started dropping INCOMING calls at 1 min 26 seconds. I think I saw something about that in another thread...?
Ive turned off the wifi calling except here at work where I mostly use it for texting in the office. As long as its wifi preferred lol.
Its very annoying. Especially since my S4 did not have these issues (though the call quality was abysmal, at least the Note 3 improved that)

Can't send SMS on AOSP Roms.

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.

Google messenger not sending mms with wifi on

H812 on Rogers,
I can't send mms using Google messenger whilst I'm connected to wifi. I can receive no problem however. In order to send I must turn wifi off. Bit of a pain...
Edit: works perfect using stock messaging app.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: I know I can't use wifi to send or receive. That's not an issue.
Some mms apps are not smart enough to switch to cell data to authenticate. See if there is a setting to send via cell

No such setting. Also, stock messaging app has no issues..

MM Update: Group messaging & MMS doesn't work if wifi is connected

Hi folks,
I've got a new problem that started after I updated my D851 from (stock/rooted) Lollipop to (stock/rooted) Marshmallow.
When I'm home, I've got a decent LTE signal (ATT, though using the T-Mobile phone variant). But since I'm home, my phone connects to my wifi and uses it for data. I have no problem making/receiving calls or SMS texts to a single person at a time.
However, as long as I'm connected to WIFI (with my cellular signal present but not used for data due to the WIFI), neither MMS nor group texts work. In the stock Messages app, or the Messaging app I actually usually use, these MMS or group texts sit there as "sending..."
If I turn off the wifi, the cellular data signal is used immediately and the texts go through. Same goes for receiving MMS.
Again, this only happens since the marshmallow update that I applied a couple weeks ago.
I have not found a fix. I found lots of people complaining, and a few proposed solutions, like changing the APN so that the APN Protocol would be set to IPv4/IPv6 instead of the default IPv4. See here for that reference, though it didn't work for me:
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843?tstart=0
Anybody have a fix for this? it's a real problem particularly for incoming messages. I can always toggle wifi off if I want to send something, but not knowing when something is coming in gets to be a problem. SMS from single conversations come through.
Please help me troubleshoot this. I've googled my fingers to the bone and while I've found reports of issues like this going back years, no actual solutions that work for me.
HELP!
There's one workaround so far... using Textra as the messaging app. It has an option called the T-Mobile Wifi Calling fix (in Settings/MMS/scroll down to bottom). Even though my wifi calling is set to off, since I'm on ATT, enabling this setting in Textra automatically toggles off WiFi to send MMS/group sms, and it does the same when it detects an attempted incoming MMS.
I much prefer the Google Messages app, for a variety of reasons, and I'm looking to figure out a real fix rather than this workaround. Any help most appreciated.

SMS/MMS Picture Send Failures

Pixel 2 XL (unlocked) on the T-Mobile network. I can send messages without an issue and everything else works fine, but when I attempt to text pictures or receive them it hangs and eventually comes back stating it couldn't send. This has happened through the messages app and Textra. I was able to send and receive via Chomp, but that's it.
Anybody else see this happening and if so, have you been able to fix it? I've cleared cache and data, restarted the phone and reset defaults for network.
THANKS!!!

I have that issue sometimes on my N6 and 6p and it appears to be the WiFi calling. Turning off WiFi resolves the issue when that happens to me. I also read that 3rd party sms apps can't send mms when WiFi calling is active on t-Mobile. I normally use the stock sms app for this reason.

Yeah, I'm still looking around. Not sure why it's being difficult. Wi-Fi calling doesn't look to be an option that I'm seeing in settings. And I turned off WiFi and it still wouldn't send. But using Chomp it went right through.

WiFi calling needs to be turned on, and the carrier needs to support it. It's under advanced WiFi

I had to turn off WiFi calling for it to work
Just sending the pic with wifi off - no wifi calling enabled - worked for me.

Me too. Textra even has a setting that will turn wifi off temporarily when sending or receiving MMS. It's under MMS, then Legacy. Then, there is a toggle to turn wifi off.
