I hate the Verizon message app, so I always used the samsung one, well I tried factory reset, cache,etc. The damn thing won't let me send group messages or send pics, any one else have this issue? It's driving me nuts, I use the group's reply for work and stuff. But it works in Verizon message app...
I can't answer your question as I did not like Samsung or Verizon's solution. I have used Textra for a long time and never have any problems.
I had this very same issue with my Verizon Note 8 and never figured out what caused it. If I would switch my sim from my Note 8 to my iPhone and back MMS would work briefly and then fail after a while. Verizon nor Samsung could help me, so I downloaded Textra and never looked back. Funny thing is when I first was dealing with this I couldn't find a single thread with any other owner reporting the issue now 4 months later I saw your post lol.
I just noticed that I'm having this exact issue as well. Re-flashed the entire stock Verizon firmware and still can't send MMS. I can receive but not send.
Is almost like it was sabotaged, so you had to use Verizon message app, I'll try textra, thanks for the help
Use Signal, I beg of you:

I second signal. Absolutely no issues so far. Very reliable
Same issue that stock app just stopped sending mms. But have to use due to watch compatibility.. Help?
Is anyone else having a problem with the badge showing up when you got a message? Im not getting any number on the icon to indicate there are unread messages....
I've been having a problem with mms since updating to oreo. Never had a problem before that. But I'm also having issues with data during calls.

So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.
I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,
var
I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.

Hey guys
I'm having an issue where some of my received SMS messages are getting cut off at the end. The last part is essentially being replaced with the word "null".
Details
-Happens on stock message app (regardless of whether Textra or GO SMS are installed), Textra, and GO SMS
-Affected messages are usually over 160 characters
-Not all messages over 160 characters are cut like this
-Has happened with 2 contacts, one on H2O wireless
-I'm using a rooted T-Mobile Note 3 running stock TW on 4.4.2 with the NE6 build and the NF1 baseband. Was happening before I flashed the new baseband
I've searched for a similar issue, but I haven't found anything like it. Do you guys know what it could be? Thanks in advance:good:
Wow, that's a new one to me....My first guess would be something funky happening on T-Mobile's end. Maybe call Tech Support and have them reset you? That's just a wild guess, though....

I'm having the same exact issue. On tmobile prepaid with my HTC One. No resolution so far with TMobile.
on tmobile chat support now, they tried to get me to master reset. been having this issue for a while now. thought it might be an iphone thing, but turns out android users also have this happen to their texts. im on the t-mobile htc m8 firmware 3.32.531.2 ARHD 22.2. will report back if anything is resolved
so technical care is looking into it. they said they will do something with my signal and monitor it for 3 days. ill get a call back when everything seems fine. will try to report back when they do contact me
ok so they said everything is fine on the network. all of the texts are going thru correctly so my phone SHOULD be downloading and displaying them correctly. so they said it could either be my phone or my sim card. they are shipping me a new sim card. if this happens again i will switch sim cards out. last resort will be a phone replacement. again i will try to report here any further info if anyone is interested
Same exact issue I've had for a couple months now and numerous others. New sim card or replacement phone didn't help (HTC ONE M8)- it's definitely something with T-mobile .. https:// support.t-mobile.com/thread/73266 an active thread about this matter too. They'll keep giving you the run like they've been doing to me the past month. ( i had to make space between https:// and support since I have less than 10 posts..)
I am having a problem that started a few months ago, although not when I first purchased my S9.
For some reason I started having a problem where I am not receiving all of my SMS texts. Its often MMS but also sometimes regular SMS. Its not only from iPhones. It seems to happen more when I am in bad service or the phone is off, and then when I turn it on or get service, the texts never come (although I think it may be happening in other circumstances as well - not sure).
I have been using Textra and Handcent. When I switch to the stock Samsung app, the missing messages are not there either.
I have read a lot online about people having this issue, but havent really heard anyone have an answer.
AT&T (of course) says everything is fine with the phone and the network.
I am hoping maybe some XDAers have encountered and solved this?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
Well hate to break your bubble but AT&T is lying through their teeth about it not being their problem because it is. They're really good at doing that. On the plus side, your phone is 100% fine.

if its not in the stock app, its not your phone most likely. AT&T is historically known for lying through their teeth. Kinda shocked that they havent been forced to shut down by the FCC to be honest. They have a very pleasant and air tight outside appearance and they have accomplished some great things all while doing the right ting from time to time. They dont look so open and honest when you start reading reports on them. Funny part is that i recall reading hard copies of news bulletins about what wrongs they have committed and its not the easiest thing in the world to get that info online. Suppression tactics probably. Anyways, make a new APN and set it up with all the parameters, select it and see what happens. There are tons of threads on at&t apns spanning many device forums, and people have luck with differing, yet certain settings. Id check some of those out and make several APNs with that info. Youlll never have a problem caused by having eleventeen APNs on your device
Hi guys. I know this is not Note 10 specific but it's great news nonetheless. Someone figured out how to activate RCS messaging and it works. ?
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's basically like iMessage for Android.
Here is the 9 to 5 Google article: https://9to5google.com/2019/10/26/enable-rcs-android-messages/
And here is a tutorial from Jeff Springer over on YouTube:
Spread the news guys it should work on any Android phone carrier. I'm currently in Canada and got it to work.
Enjoy?
confirm, working :good: :good:
Got it working on my Verizon note 10+
I got it working too...I think. Don't know anyone else with it haha
configured as well on my ATT Note 10+; however, replies to group messaging arrived as separate (or new) text messages and not part of the group. Fix for me was to disable the option to "Use WiFi data for messaging when available". Anyone else experience similar behavior? Thanks.

True lol
Works in Malaysia too. But no one here is using it.
Couldn't activate it here in Iran
Stuck in verifying my phone!
Edit: nope it's working and connected!
But no one is using it
I was able to do it on my Samsung-direct unlocked SD Note 10+ on T-Mobile, but when I restarted my phone later it went away and isn't coming back even when replicating the steps. It now says your carrier doesn't support this feature when I go into the Message app settings. I have the Carrier Settings app downloaded from Play Store as well.
Got it connected here. Followed the directions but had some issues with the phone number verification stage. Disabling wifi and trying again helped.
I am not sure if it is actually working though. Every message I send is either a sms or mms, even if I send it back to myself. At least one of my friends it should be going through as a chat message.

You can't send to yourself. Just ask your friend to enable it.
why is all this hype about the RCS? we already have tons of instant messaging apps (most importantly WhatsApp) that surpass the RCS in many ways.
From Romania and got it to work ! N976B
Weird.. I'm on T-Mobile and it's been working for me up to this point.. Now things are being sent as SMS all of a sudden. Still shows as connected though.. Weird..
Never mind.. My buddy I was messaging must be having issues. He's on Sprint but has been able to use RCS without any hacks and using the default Samsung Messaging app .. Weird.
so you never had it before? I had this since the start of the year. My son's Note 9, my wife's and daughter's S10 and my N10+ has this without jumping through those hoops. Just download google messages, it gives an option for RCS and that's it.
All our phones are unlocked Snapdragons so I'm not sure if that matters but you all should just download the google messages app first before doing all that crap for RCS.
I tried it and it worked on my Note 10+ but for some reason my son using his iphone 11 Pro Max couldn't send me any pictures through text and wasn't receiving any i sent.. I switched back to the stock Samsung message app and we could both send and receive txt and pictures?? I'm guessing AT&T has setup as I can send a txt to my buddy using my Note 10+ and I believe he has Galaxy s10 and using the stock messaging app I can see when its delivered, read, and when he types..
Working for me. But I got nobody use it with so far

Thanks, even if a would rather have RCS with the native app.
For some reason for the life of me I can't get this to work. Anybody have any tips or tricks. I have read the instructions over and over again and still can't get it to work.
after set up and working, can activity launcher be uninstalled?
