[Fixed] Can't get MMS to work with aftermarket apps? - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

I am having problems with go SMS and hand cent and crunch SMS getting able to send Mms. The stock app works fine but all the aftermarket ones can't send messages. I am on nexus4 on att. Any suggestions?

Its an Android 4.2 issue, couldn't get Handcent or Chomp to work on my GNex either. Interesting thing I found is if I use Handcent to start a text to a group I have set up then delete Handcent and finish the MMS with the stock app I get an error like "You are not authorized for this service" this is on Straight Talk At&t. If I add each person individually with the stock app the MMS goes through.

Handcent came out with an update to fix this but it still doesn't work

Hey I got this to work today. Turns out you have to type your MMS APN settings manually into the SMS app, as I guess they no longer can access the settings themselves.

Not sure exactly what youa re referring to in the app? Can you post a screenshot? Are you creating a seperate APN for SMS/MMS?
Thanks in advance.

If so can you send and or receive MMS? I can send/receive with stock app fine but not handcent.

i am on jbsourcery 4.0 which is now android 4.2.1 and my handscent works fine. i restored it from titanium, not a fresh download. not sure if that matters.
try going into the settings and setting it to default messenger.
Chomp sms also had this issue, I saw it listed on their FAQ. Supposedly they're working on a fix.

You are able to send and receive MMS Picture messages fine? Can you share any special settings perhaps?
I can't comment on handcent, but in gosms I had to enter the apn settings again within the app itself. I can send and receive fine. Not sure if handcent has a setting like that too

Just got off gtalk with handcent & servers have been updated & mms is working fine on att lte apns now! Hell yea! They keep a 5 day cache of apn settings so you may need to set your date & time ahead a week then send a mms then just change it back!

Not receiving notifications for MMS.

I am using Go SMS pro. I have notifications turned off in default app, and on in Go SMS. I get notifications fine from standard msgs but not MMS. It worked fine up until a few days ago when i noticed that i would get an MMS but not a notification for it. So i wouldnt know that i had one until i manually checked my text list.
Any idea of what to try?
bump. anyone?

I would make sure it's not a network problem by deleting the app and making sure the stock MMS app still works. Have you tried emailing the developer of the app your problem?

I wouldn't bother emailing the dev. They are some of the worst at replying. They focus mainly on their targeted user base in china.

I'm also having this issue with AOKP 3/1/13 release. I get my sms notifications fine but MMS wont notify me at all (unless I manually go in and check my messages).

Sms issues?

Has Anybody been having issues with texts lately? It seems like my messages are not getting through. Maybe happens once every 10 messages.
Idk if it's my network or the rom but I think it might be the network.

I had similar problems with att settings on my phone and it was the APN settings that were off a little. Had http:/ instead of http:// for the mmsc and it wasn't downloading or sending. Not sure if you touched your APN settings but if you did double check them.
Has anyone had problems sending or receiving picture text messages? I can't receive them or send them... can someone help me.

I have problems sending and mostly receiving picture text messages using Handcent. I sent them an email. I think is how they set the APN.
Picture text messages work fine on stock message app.
Are you using stock message app? Check your APN settings for your carrier.
Note 3
no problems here with stock or gosms apps.
still running stock build, I'm on tmobile's network.
In my apt i don't get service, so the messages have the circle and are waiting to send. When i gain service it still won't send. A simple restart usually fixes for me and messages go through. Try clearing the data on messages app. Turn off phone take your sim out and put it back in and see what luck you get.

For me, 3rd party MMS apps only seem to send /receive messages after a reboot. Not sure what the problem is.

Gosms is not working for me.
Only SMS issue I have is when you open up a text from the lockscreen, you type in words and it doesn't show at all. Gotta exit out then go back into the text and it'll work.
I just started having MMS issues yesterday. I have tried uninstalling the update to Hangouts, clearing cache in the Messaging app and Hangouts, force stopping both, and clearing caches, reboots, toggling data, I can't seem to get an MMS to send or receive. Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday the 18th? It's driving me crazy!
From what I have seen this is a T-mobile problem as it has started happening with MANY phones.
I had this issue the other day. I ended up uninstalling the SMS app I was using which was Hancent and the issue went away.
I am currently using SMS Popup along with Chomp SMS and it appears to be working okay.

MMS problems?

Is anyone else having problems with third party SMS programs? I've tried textra, gosms, and 8sms. I can't get MMS to work at all. I've tried manually inputting the settings and it still hangs or errors. Has anyone had similar issues, or a fix? Thanks in advance.

handcent seems very buggy. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Yes. I've tried Textra and Chomp and they both don't work.
I've actually been going back and forth via emails with textra developers for two days and they came to a conclusion that they are having issues with multiple Note 3's
They will email me when they have a solution. When I find out, I'll keep you posted

I figured as much. I don't think it's going to be on their end though. It seems like something in the messenger settings on the note is breaking it if it's all sms apps
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Youre right. They probably need to update this phone for a fix. I hope there's a fix soon.
I hate the stock messenger for group MMS. Its slow, laggy, and I get that stupid No Subject for every group text. Textra is amazing and I can't wait to start using it again.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I will say, if you use 8sms, and leave the stock sms app alone it all still works. If you install textra MMS is completely broken
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I had the same problem with Textra (love this app). After researching and testing different APN settings, I finally found the one that works like a charm.
Create a new APN and use the values from the screen shots I have attached. Don't forget to enable "activate data" in Textra MMS settings. Then reboot and enjoy.

Do those apn settings work over wifi? I have t-mobile wifi calling for a majority of the day and no data. The stock sms app works fine, but like others I want to use textra.

On wifi yes, not on wifi calling. That's something only enabled in stock sms app.
So I'm not totally sure what is different in my settings from others. However my MMS was not working over wifi when I used the new APN. I eventually turned wifi calling to use "cellular network when available" and all of a sudden it seems to be working. I had the setting in textra selected to use data when sending and receiving, but it didn't seem to be doing anything

Anyone having issues with Textra not being able to send MMS once or twice a day? I keep getting the red exclamation mark and have to reset my phone for it to work. Bummer, I had to go back to stock messenger because it was getting way too annoying.

I noticed this is LTE, what if you are not in an LTE area? Will your phone switch to a different APN from this customized APN? And if it switched would MMS again be broken?

Google hangouts with SMS integration

I have the latest available version of hangouts and it has been said we can start using the SMS integration. I don't see that option anywhere in the app.

I'm sticking with Sammy's SMS for now
I like Hangout for Video, and such but for SMS it to me gets mixed up with all the other hangout stuff and I would rather have it separate. For me, I use SMS/MMS WAY more then Hangout, and it's just cleaner to keep it in it's own app. I did try it, worked fine and all. Just like SMS/MMS to be stand along.

I'm the opposite. I use SMS as an alert and rarely use it with other people. I use hangout text all the time. Don't do video much. I'd keep the SMS out of hangout as I prefer it separate.

MMS works between google+ accounts, but not between mobile numbers - Hangouts will force-close whenever I attach a photo to a message going to a phone # (as opposed to a hangout contact).
I got mine to work but I noticed when wifi calling dont work but works when on 4g I also downloaded one inverted from darkhorse is the one im using

Seems like if you are in a group message to people on their phones numbers then the messages will go as MMS instead of SMS, When i am connected to WIFI mms does not work hence i have to choose WIFI or group message and i hate it
