ive changed my APN settings, even though i can receive from friends using iphones, but in particular another person i just get a blank text rather than the picture. Anyone else encounter this?
No it works perfect for me, must be a defective phone
shut it T-mobile!
I have a Verizon Note 4 that I transferred to Straight Talk. Everything is working fine with it. I can call, take calls, use data, and send texts. The only issue is that I can't receive text messages. Can someone please assist me with this? I have called technical support once and then just tried to reactivate my phone, which did nothing at all. Not even sure that reactivation went through. Thanks in advance!
I think the problem is - verizon OS we using on mvno network, what Straighttalk essentually is.
I had mms issue (receiving pictures but not sending). I solved that by installing third party messenger (Whatsapp) in my case. Amazingly now I having no problem sending or receiving pictures with my native messenger.
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.
Today I switched from Sprint to Tmobile business. Everything else is working, but I can't receive (i can send) text messages. We have already refreshed the network settings. I noticed on my mytmobile page it has my phone listed as a galaxy watch, but I don't think that has anything to do with it? Should I do a hard reset of the phone, or is this an issue with Sprint z2 forces on Tmobile in general? Any simple solution to try? I'm waiting to hear back from Sprint technical support.
PS they just suggested I try the Sim card in another phone. This after it was escalated
Thanks,
Theodore
So I have had my Red Magic 5G Pulse Version for two weeks now and I have been experiencing a very frustrating issue when it comes to group messaging with this phone.
It might be hard to explain, but whenever my friends start a group chat, my phone number appears on in the group list, which isn't correct since the group list should only be showing my friends and not my phone number. Whenever I try to send a message within that group chat, my message ends up showing up twice on my screen, one from me and one from my separate phone number, causing two version of my messages to appear. Apparently, the second message only appears for me and not my friends. I also do not get any issues when I try to start a group chat with my friends, as my phone number does not appear separately within the list of users when I create the group. This only happens when a friend starts the group chat.
I have tried multiple things in an attempt to fix the situation. I have tried resetting the data and cache for my messenger app. I have tried resetting the phone number within the messenger app. I have tried factory resetting my phone. Nothing has worked to fix the double text message issued.
Big thing to note that I previously used a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite as my phone and have been using an AT&T prepaid sim card with that phone. I never had any issues with group texts using that phone. The issue only started when I transferred my sim card from my Mi A2 Lite to this new Reg Magic 5G. I may have reason to believe that the sim card or my service with AT&T is causing these issues, and I will try and see if they can help me out here, but I am curious to know if any Red Magic 5G users are having this issue with group texting. Last thing to note: I am using the default Google messaging app that comes with the phone.

Are you using Google messages or some other app? I tried to create a group conversation in Google messages. And checked group info and I was not there. Only 3 of the other member showed. So I could not reproduce the issue you mentioned.

Yes, I am using the default Google messaging app. No other messaging apps are installed on my phone.

I can confirm I don't have the issue in NA rom. Atleast not in 8-128 black model. Probably it's only in pulse?
Edit: I don't have rcs so probably rcs is the issue?

Oh, I never even heard about RCS until now, so that may be a possibility. I will turn off the chat features and test my group chats again.

I don't think it's a good idea. Your chat features work based on rcs. Else they will just be sms and you will be charged a lot. Don't do that.

Well, what else would you suggest? I have tried mostly everything else at this point.

I am sorry I really don't have a solution. If you are ok with spending some money. You could disable chat features and reset the messages app and create a new group then test sms once to confirm if the rcs is the issue. Then maybe send a bug report to Google. Other than that I really don't know what can be done.

Yeah, well I should be okay in that regard, since my prepaid service at least comes with unlimited texting. I only have some data to work with but for the sake of testing, I should be fine.

Bumping this. I got my phone back and even with the new update from Nubia, I am still having trouble with group texting.
This thread topic is basically what I have been dealing with. https://support.google.com/messages/thread/977504?hl=en
I have tried multiple things in an attempt to fix the issue, and from the looks of things that it seems to be a device/software issue, which wouldn't be much of a surprise since the software for this phone is pretty terrible.
Might just be your sim card. I get double messages when my sim is near death.
