Converted my HTC M8 to GPe 5.0 last year and recently updated it to 6.0, and since then every picture MMS I receive is compressed to the point that when you open it, its too pixelated to view. As well I cannot send MMS anymore.
I've tried Google Messenger and Hangouts for MMS with no success in sending. I've verified my APN settings with my carrier but still not luck. Not much comes up when I search the web for this problem, but other possible solutions include disabling any ad block (which didn't work) and uninstalling Pushbullet (which I don't have).
Anyone else experience this?
Does the problem apply to pictures only?
Can you send a text MMS? like a group text
Have you checked the permissions for the native messaging app?
Have you checked your maximum message size setting?
Have you tried deleting your APN and restoring or recreating it? sometimes looks can be deceiving

No, I cannot send any MMS both group and photos.
Messenger has full permissions for everything it's requested.
Maximum size limit is 300kb, which is far below my carrier limit (and I cannot change it).
Yes, I've deleted and manually created my APN with various settings at least 3 times just to make sure.
I am having a similar issue with the latest GPE MM RUU.
Seems like group messages from iPhones in particular get stuck and need to be "manually downloaded" after they fail. Sending SMS messages hang on the first attempt as well. I have to wait for it to fail and then try again.
Well found an odd fix that appears to have worked for me.
Went into SETTINGS > APPS > Settings Icon on the right top > Default APPS the default BROWSER APP field was empty. I set it to Chrome, rebooted the phone and within seconds the MMS messages were sending and receiving..

I instaled RC8.1 few days ago and I for me everything works perfect but i notice that when typing long SMS messages instead of merging them in 2/3/.../6 sms messages it makes it a MMS after 160 characters. I looked in settings for a solution but i couldn't find it, is there any way to change that or I will have to separate messages manualy?
Also some times it just keep "sending" message.
with this release my phone sometimes don't receive all the messages......someone else have this problem?
I think I received all messages, but some of them wouldn't send it just say sending and leave it that way...
As far as I remember, since first release of CM10.1 long messages are converted to MMS by default, and there's no option to change it to multiple SMS
See in mms settings. Or just install other sms app (slide messaging shoud do the trick) and change there. This will fix the problem.

Thanks, I will check that app later
Thx, i'll try that
Btw any news about not sending some messages?
There are two people (at least) that I can't send text messages to. One is on AT&T and one is on Sprint so their carrier isn't the issue. And it doesn't matter which sms app I use.
When I use Chomp I get this result: "Unfortunately, chomp SMS has stopped."
When I use the stock messaging app I get this result: "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
There is no existing thread with these people and their cell phone numbers are valid. When they send me texts everything looks normal on their end but I don't get the message.
I am bone dry stock.
Any ideas? This is very annoying and I probably will have the same problem with other people, I just haven't discovered it yet.
I've never heard of this issue before

Did you accidentally Block them ?

I don't think so. How do I check? When I long press their names in the contact list I see an option to "add to reject list" which suggests they aren't blocked. How else can I check?
I don't think I've blocked anyone. Is there a way to check everyone I've blocked? And on a related note, what happens when I add someone to the reject list? If they call me will they go straight to voicemail or what?

Are you opposed to rooting and trying out a ROM? I honestly don't know what's going on, but if it's crashing your sms programs, it sounds to me somehow software or settings related (but I've never seen anything that could do that). Since it's most-likely software related, I'd bet a fresh install would solve it.
But that being said, it's a really bizarre thing to have happened.
I'd try erasing the problem contacts and re-adding them before going too far into it. Very odd problem though, thats for sure!
It does not sound like you have anyone Blocked / Rejected. Did you install any apps before the issue started?

Honestly, I have never heard of this before. Usually, I would never want to bother sprint tech, but I would go show them and see what they think. That is very odd. Have you tried a factory reset? (Backup everything first)

Look it up.
So I'm in a major bind. I realized that the problem was for anyone who I didn't already have a sms thread with. If I send/receive text messages with someone that has an existing thread, it works fine. If they don't have a thread send/receive text fails as I described.
I tried uninstalling Chomp SMS and that didn't help. So I figured there might be some corruption in my text message store so I backed up my sms & mms and then deleted everything. Now I can't send/receive text messages from ANYONE and when I try to restore my text messages it fails. I backed up with two different apps to be safe and they both failed.
At this point it seems like the only option is a factory reset. Does anyone have another suggestion to fix this?
Before doing a factory reset I'd like to back everything up but I'm not rooted yet and to make matters worse I'm on vacation with my Mac rather than my Windows laptop -- so rooting is not possible. I don't want to do a factory reset and lose everything but I can't be away for this many days without the capability to send/receive text messages. Especially since people who are texting me have no idea I'm not getting their texts. FML
Turn on Mobile Data. Update Profile & PRL, Turn off your mobile data.
Backup export your contacts list. should be like a
Contacts.VCF file.
And backup your SMS messages if possible
Go into applications / All Applications > Wipe Data for both messaging apps + Wipe Contacts list.
Turn off your sync for contacts.
Reboot your device.
Open up both messaging apps and tweak / change what ever you need in the settings for both applications.
Turn on your data and reset LTE/CMDA CMDA/EVDO back and forth once
Reboot your phone.
Import your contacts list.
Re-sync your contacts.
Then try messaging them.
If that doesn't work then I have no clue what'll help with your issue being non-rooted.

I tried this, it didn't work.
Now I have another problem. When I try to sync my contacts, after restoring them from the backup, I'm getting an error. The error says "Sync is currently experiencing problems.It will be back shortly." Maybe it will be back shortly but in my experience with a similar problem with calendar syncing a couple years back, this is not so easy to fix.
Any suggestions?
Your firmware and base is updated to MD4 right?
EDIT:
Have you tried Go SMS Pro Using this method?
Download from Google play
Open application and go to settings
Click Advanced Tab.
Click MMS Settings
Checkmark Fill APN Configuration Manually.
Code:
MMSC
http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy
68.28.31.7
MMS Port
80
Force Close application, and then reboot it, and now try sending something SMS or MMS.
Yes, I'm on MD4.
I actually think MD4 may have something to do with this. The first time I noticed the problem was right around the time I installed MD4. It was within a day, either right before or right after. For some reason Sprint pushed MD4 to may waaaaay after everyone else got it which is why I just recently got it.
I tried your Go SMS Pro technique but got not joy. The stock messaging app still crashes. Go SMS doesn't crash when I send messages but nothing is actually sent. And whenever someone sends me text messages I still don't get them.
So first let me say I have searched multiple sites and fourms on this question. Issue seems to be intermittent Mms wokrs perfectly when phone is initially power cycled. After a few messages mms or not then mms pictures stops working. The bizarre thing is I still get messages in mms format sent and received instantly. Gifs/pics is the issue only. I have checked the apn settings for the phone and textra and they match. I even tried "8080" for the port in both textra and the network settings. Issue seems to only happen after phone has ran for 45+ minuets. Please help as I use group messaging for a lot of my clients and friends. Thanks in advance.
P.s. I have the jedi x20 rom installed. I'll also be at work until 3 pm central time so I might not be able to try suggestions until then.
Double check the apn settings within system settings as well. Also make sure that 'activate mobile data' and use mms for group chats are on
With no changes made to my AT&T Note 4, Textra started throwing this error up in the notification window:
Can't Get MMS
Check Textra>MMS>APN
In a group message, photos were being shared by 4 different people. The Textra icon shows that there are 68 unread messages, which I know can't be true. When I bring up the group thread, only a couple of the text messages are being shown. And I cannot get it to stop showing that there are new messages. I've used Textra for a couple years now and have never had any kind of problem. Searching the interwebs gave me no answers.
In Textra, the Carrier send limit is set to 600KB.
MMS Behavior is set to "Legacy".
Manually configure APN is set to off.
Stagefright protection is set to on.
I fI turn on the "manually configure APN'" toggle, these are the settings:
MMSC
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy
proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy Port
80
I have never changed any of these settings. I rebooted the phone twice with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Almost sounds like carrier issue to me. Otherwise I recommend uninstall Textra and make the default messages app the stock text app. Test that.
I uninstalled Textra and am back to the Samsung messaging app. All seems good. Although, I think that there are several pictures that never made their way to me from that group thread. Very odd. I have never had a problem like that before.
I get this issue like every other month. I really hate how much AT&T has ****ed this phone. Only stock apps seem to not have issues any other apps **** up constantly.
I have this exact same issue on an HTC 10 with AT&T. It only seems to happen after I get sent a MMS(mostly from my wife, who is also on AT&T, but that is where the vast majority of my texts come from) . If she resends the exact same photo a little later it will usually go through. I have the most current version of Textra(per the play store) and have the APN settings manually configured to the correct settings. This issue only happens to me once a week or so but it is driving me nuts. Rebooting doesn't seem to have an effect and it seems to stop incrementing the unread message count after awhile. It almost seems like AT&T is attemping to send an undeliverable MMS that gets stuck in an outgoing queue(until it eventually times out), and every resend attempt increments the Textra unread message count and kicks out a Textra MMS APN error message. Perhaps Textra says "Hey, we have a new unread message" when it first begins to receive the data, rather than after successfully receiving it? I dunno what is going on with it. Meanwhile, my stock messaging app doesn't see or do anything, it is oblivious. If anyone figures out how to fix it or what is really going on with it, please let us know. I think this is more carrier or textra related, as opposed to device specific.
Do you have an ad-blocker installed?
I thought I was the only one - I am also (currently) having this issue with Textra on AT&T (OnePlus 3). Has anyone figured out a fix? I love the app but that error message is incredibly annoying ... not to mention the fact that it pisses me off when I am missing pictures people are sending to me.
Contact the developer. I had a problem with Textra once (different issue) and they were prompt with suggestions for a for fix with the problems I was having.
I tried all kinds of messaging app on my Note 4: Textra, Google Messenger, Hangout, etc. They all didn't receive MMS at all and needed to revert back to the stock message app. It's funny though since I have no problem receiving MMS through Textra in my Axon Pro 7
Hello XDA,
BACKGROUND
Last night I downloaded and installed the latest OxygenOS OTA (4.0.2) for Nougat 7.0 (stock). I noticed that the Messages (the actual name of app) app was different. It looks like the developers made some enhancements to the Messenger (actual name of the old app) app. I like the look of the new app and thought I'd give it a try. After the upgrade, the old Messenger app was still the default app. I noticed that the Messages app would only allow me to view my texts. In the Messages app, there was a prompt for me to change my default texting app from Messenger to Messages. This allowed me to send texts via the new app.
ISSUE
When sending a MMS message through the latest Messages app, the message is being transformed to SMS. Meaning, my texts get sent out individually to the recipients - even though my Messages app shows my text in a group when looking at it on my phone.
I tried to do some research on Google but could not find a solution. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have your MMS APN installed in your phone? If not, add it manually or request it from your operator and reboot the phone.

Hmm, I would not have thought that the APN would have been reset. It was working prior to the OTA update. But anything is worth a try. I will look into this and get back to you.

I have the same thing going on although not the MMS issue as all my apn settings remained unchanged. I am confused about why I now have the pre 4.0.2 Messenger app and now also have Messages since 4.0.2 update. Why is this and how does it get fixed so I only have one app for sms/mms.
Thanks all!

Jay, are you saying that you were able to use the latest Messages app and still able to send and receive MMS?
I could not get the new Messages app to send/receive MMS. I gave up and reverted back to the older Messenger app. I went into settings>apps>messages and force stopped the application. Then I disabled it. The old Messenger app works fine.

James,
I just was able to receive a picture with no issues. I went into the Messenger app and disabled receiving messages through settings and then made sure Messages was able to receive via settings as well. I didn't do any disabling of apps, etc. I ha entirely used the new Messages app much as of yet but it looks decent.
Anyone have reasons as to why the new update added a new app for sms/mms rather then just replace the previous one?
Hi with your new software update in the messaging app i only recieve text cant send outgoing text.please fix this. I want the old version. I m stuck not being able to send outgoing sms frm my phone.
Thanks poornima
