Recently purchased a Samsung GS3 SPH-l710. I installed cyanogenmod 10.1.2 onto it so I'm currently running android version 4.2.2
Despite the fact I have the Group Messaging option box checked in the stock messenger, it will show the texts as 1 kb MMS messages, and then when I try to download it it will say "Couldn't Download message (No Subject) from John Doe".
I've tried Gosms pro as well and it does the same thing.
However, I can receive and send picture and video MMS messages.
Is there some other setting I'm missing that I should have checked to make this work?
Thanks!
I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.

I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

Doesn't work for me.
I installed Contacts+ and made it my default messaging app. Now MMS/group message works using MightyText.
MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.

I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.
Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent
FIrstly, Hello. I had an account here years ago but forgot the email/password I used(oh well).
I actually have various issues with this phone, but the most important one(at least being worked related) is this. I am able to send and receive individual text messages just fine with both the stock "messages" application as well as the "message +"(Verizon) application. I can also send out group messages just fine.... but I am not able to receive group messages from anyone I work with. All my co-workers have iPhones. I'm the only one with an Android phone.
I have tried clearing cache/data, force stopping, resetting network settings, rebooting, adjusting every setting possible in both messages & message+ applications(including disabling/re-enabling/updating). I went through the Verizon z2 force text message troubleshooting on their website and was even on the phone with Verizon for awhile. Finally, I put my SIM card back into my old Galaxy S6 phone and tested with that... still did not work.
I then tried using other 3rd party apps: Signal & Textra (neither one worked either)
I have heard that a "group text message" being sent from an iPhone only circulates on Apple servers(meaning that only people with an iPhone can get them).... however, one of my co-workers insists that he was able to get them on his old phone(Android... nexus something).
Basically, I know the problem is not this phone(right?...) That being the case, does anyone know of any way I can receive a group message originating from an iPhone without having to switch to an iPhone?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Update: I had a friend using an older iphone 5(iOS 10) attempt to send out a group text message. I was able to receive it. Upon doing further research, seems there's a bug in iOS 11 in which Android users are not getting group text messages.
So... it is Apple's fault this time. Additionally, I found that by using the app 'TextPlus' on my Z2 Force, I am able to receive these iOS11 group text messages. Looks like I'll have to stick with that until Apple fixes the issue.
I just bought my wife a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S9. I have an unlocked Note 8 with T-Mobile firmware installed. When I went to google maps and clicked "Share Place" it asks which app I would like to share it with, I click Messages, and it converts it to a goo.gl link and I send it to her. I do not get a delivered status, and she never receives the link that I sent. I tried other goo.gl links besides from Google Maps and they will not send either. I have verified that I can send the goo.gl links to 2 different phones using the same method, It is just hers that is not receiving it. From her phone, trying the same method, it looks like it sends but never goes through to the person it is sent to. So her phone will not send or receive any goo.gl links, I have verified that all of the sms, mms and chat settings are the same in her phone and my phone. Has anyone experienced this before? Is my wife's phone the only one with this problem? Could this possibly be a new "security feature" built into the new messaging app or just a bug?
I am having the same problem but only if I use Google Messages, it seems to work fine if I use the stock SMS app. There is a thread over on Reddit as well, some are talking about missing texts in general while others have issues with goo.gl urls but the mentioned fixes on there haven't worked for me though. I can't post links yet but it's in r/tmobile
Hello everyone,
I have installed Lineage OS 20 on my Samsung A505F device and I am facing a problem with calling and SMS functionality. I can’t make or receive calls or send or receive SMS messages. I have tried different ROMs but none of them seem to support calling and SMS on Samsung phones. I have also checked the permissions, network settings, APN settings, etc. but nothing works.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue or suggest any ROMs that support calling and SMS on Samsung A505F?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
