MMS problems from email - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem when people send me MMS from an email or if they use one of those "free text app" on their iPod and it uses an email to send MMS to my phone number.
I'll get the notification in the bar from the correct sender(the email address) and it'll say Picture Message. I tap on the notification and it takes me to the messaging app where its there in my list of conversations for a split second, then disapears. I can't get it to stay, or show me the message. It's like the messaging app is deleting it before I get a chance to open it.
How do I fix this?
Attached in an example notification. When I tap on it. It's in my conversation list and vanishes before I can go into that particular message.

S.O.S. Sent sms folder!!!

Hi guys!
I've got a problem sending sms with my Jam:
I write the text... I tap on "send to" and I browse on my contacts... I select one of my contact's number an then I tap on send button.
It works fine and the text is sent!
Well... when I go to sms sent items I can see the text I sent but there is the N I use instead the contact's name!!!! grrrr.....
If I reply one received sms it works fine and I can see on my sent items the name of the sender....
Any idea?
i've also noticed some glitches with sms on the magician, but i dont use the send to function, i just type the first couple letters of the contacts name in the "to" area and the names with those first couple letters will come up, click on the one desired and click send.
I think the reason i'm having problems is cuz i have spb pocket plus which completely exits the messaging app, so i just minimize it instead of completely exiting it.
If you start typing the contacts name in the To: field it gives you the option to autocomplete using their mobile number and will then show their name against the message in sent items. But if you browse contacts it will just use the number against the message in sent items.
fone fanatic, once you send a message wait for the little bubble to pop up saying message sent before you close the application, otherwise it ends up sending the message twice.

Message notification icon

I see the same generic icon when I get an email or text. I can change the sound I get but is it poosible to change the icon to be different for email than texts? I had this on my old droid charge but cant seem to find where to change it on this phone.
I swicthed to Nova launcher but I am not rooted or anything.
Thanks!
You could use an alternate mail app, or use an app which'll notify you of a new SMS and turn off the stock SMS notifications. Take a look at "SMS popup", you can use it for SMS notification without using the popup thing.

[Q] Force MMS - Stock App

I have a quick question. Is there a way to force a "text" message to be sent as MMS instead of SMS using the stock messaging app? It looks like right now, if the message is all text, then only after the 6th 140 character message will it convert to MMS, otherwise it stays on SMS and splits it into 6 SMS messages. I want to choose to convert it sooner if I want. Is that possible? I know that if I insert a picture then it will convert to MMS immediately, but I want text ONLY MMS. Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't know why you want to force txt mssg to be sent as MMS but there is a setting in stock messaging app that combines all the split mssgs to be send as one whole mssg. Don't know if this what you want tho.

Create a google voice number. Then use that number with whoever you want to text as a group text. It'll become MMS instead of SMS for group texting.

Text messages out of sync

Hi does anyone know what I can do to fix my text messages that are coming in out of sync. If I send a message then the one I receive is being put ontop of my original message and its putting them in different places in the text

Sending MMS with Hangout is painfully long process

Am I doing something wrong?
Normally I select image in the gallery, tap share, tap messaging app, search contact, tap send.
With Hangout additionally I have to choose account, tap new message. Process becomes longer.
Is there a faster way with hangout to share a multimedia message?

Yeah, just send a regular hangouts message... its just the same as an instant message. All your recipient needs is a Google account, and as such, you need their Gmail address
