are you on a custom rom? I had that issue on my epic 4g on cyanogenmod.

I'm on the stock rom. Haven't even rooted yet. Although I am using handcent instead of the stock messaging app.

Set handcent as default for MMS. Should fix it. If not then do for both SMS & MMS

This is interesting
I had this happen after the 4.1.2 update on my S3. After every boot I would get one.
I tried the Handcent thing... No good. Ran across a thread somewhere about it being a "silent" text from Sprint notifying the phone about Voicemail. I had the Voicemail app frozen with TiBU. Defrosted it and Never had the issue again.
Don't know if this will help but maybe it will put someone on the track to figuring it out.
Submitted Via Subspace

Visual voicemail for sure. Been around since Galaxy S, fellas.

It's handcent. My wife started getting those several times a day on her S3. I blocked the number on the Sprint website, blacklisted it on the phone and they still came up. Called Sprint support and they said it was Handcent. Uninstalled it and it all stopped. Not really needed on the Samsungs anyway.

It is not handcent. It might happen on Handcent, but it also happens on the stock messaging app as well. I've gotten it on AOSP and TW roms with the stock messaging app.
I have it happening to me now on my S4 and I would get it on my S3 as well, whenever I got one of those messages I would be getting a voice mail as well. I just had the texts from that number blocked and I never got it again.

I get those. I'm rooted on a custom ROM and they inform me I have a new voicemail

Weird text from sprint, anyone else get one of these?

Got this sent to me this morning from the number 9016. I'm using the hybrid 00001 prl. Has anyone else got one, or know what it is? I'm still provisioned with the 00001 prl.

Usually means you got a voice mail.
I've been using the same prl for months and I have never gotten that msg, sorry.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
PRL isn't causing that. Visual voicemail is not intercepting the texts.
Got that message whenever I was running a rom/theme with the AOSP messaging app (which I like better than the TW one).
Yup, AOSP Mms.apk side-effect.

delete/freeze stock messaging app

I was wondering if it was safe to delete the stock message app. I do not have text message plan and I use Google voice exclusively. If freezing that app won't cause me to reflash my rom would it be possible to still be charged for SMS if someone sends me a message, even if the app is frozen?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app
Good question! I think regardless whether the app is there or not and someone sends u a message as long as its sent you will get charged!

Would deleting the app cause my rom a never ending force close?
Sent from my Glacier using xda app-developers app
Hmm, it's possible that if your phone never recieves it, due to not having the app functioning, that you will not be charged. I would ask you service provider to be sure, though.
Many, many moons ago I froze messaging.apk on stock froyo and the ROM worked fine. I would make a Nandroid and then freeze the app. If you have no issue, you will be fine with deleting the apk.

[SOLVED] Why won't my Nexus 4 send MMS on AT&T?

I've had it for four days now and I still haven't successfully sent an MMS message. Receiving one seems to be no problem. Here's a screen shot of the APN I'm using if that will be of any help.

Try disconnecting from WiFi and try to send a MMS after that.
I believe there is some bug that causes this issue.

I had an MMS problem recently, after switching phones. Calling AT&T and telling them my problem got it fixed. I just needed my SMS/MMS plan reset.

I see you are using GoSMS. I had a problem where GoSMS can't send MMS on the N4. Try sending through the stock SMS app. It worked fine for me.
Working fine here with that APN and using stock messaging app.

And that did the trick. I usually stay away from the normal Messaging app because Go is just better in all aspects. It sucks that there's apparently a problem that won't allow MMS to go through. Hopefully it's fixed in the next update because it's literally my favorite and most used Android app.

Yep, I loved using GoSMS too. But the SMS app with the popup is pretty decent.
Btw, you might want to put [Solved] into your thread title now
I am using the same APN as OP minus pta. I am using phone. I cannot send nor receive mms. Any suggestions. I am using the stock message app.

Anything new?

Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?
Yes, I will have somethings to beta hopefully releasing mid next week, this weekend is my last week of work. So I'm freeing up my weekends again to get back to deving more...

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.
In the android app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

Nobody cares that u stopped by Costco to buy toilet paper. Wutever broke that "check in" feature did u a favor.
...im kidding bro. plz dont take offense. I just love giving facebookers a hard time. having said that, I appear to be the only person in the milky way galaxy without a facebook account so maybe I should be the one getting cracked on. im also the only person in the galaxy that still has a Myspace so im sorta cool right??

Facebook has been having issues lately. My wife had me log in yesterday to check something and we both couldn't post. Intermittent posting issues.

Ok so I figured out out has something to do with my settings. Because I logged into my wife's account on my device and the check in ability worked perfectly.
Now to try and figure out what setting is messed up on my device.

I don't know if u have enabled ur developer options but the last time I had a problem like that with fb it was because I had changed a setting called "don't keep activities" if it is checked u should uncheck it...if ur developer options are not activated then it has to be something else...hope this helps
