I have to send long messages occasionally and I'd prefer for the message to send as a single MMS, rather than 4-10 SMS. Previously, my messaging app converted long messages automatically, but that hasn't been happening as of late.
I'm using PA 3.95 and a blacked out messaging app which I believe was pulled from CM10. The app version states 4.2.2-eng.mike.20130224.223649.
I can't recall any setting that would toggle the conversion on/off, but any help would be appreciated. I grew tired of Go, Chomp, Handcent, Sliding, etc. Too many updates, too many issues, too much bloat. I just want the stability and compatibility of the stock messaging app (well, the CM one).
I realized that you can go force an MMS by choosing "Add subject" while in a conversation.

I use Handcent for messenging like many people do, and have turned off the notifications in the stock messenging app to avoid getting double text message notifications.
Every thing has been peachy for the past month, until just today, I noticed when I get text messages, the notification from Handcent AND Stock show in my bar. I thought that I might of changed the settings on the stock, so I checked but notifications were set to OFF in the settings.
I rebooted the phone, and tried receiving a text again. Still the default messenger app notification shows, then handcent for each text. I even went and uninstalled the damn stock MMS.apk to get rid of the double popup!
Now, when i receive text messages BOTH notification still pop up, and if you press the stock messenger notification, it doesn't do anything. -___-;;;
Thought it was a problem with Handcents most recent update this morning, so i re-installed the older version from a few weeks ago. STILL getting double notifications!
Anyone else have this problem?
Hi all,
I work with a guy who has a Droid 2 and every time he sends a text message, it shows a failed delivery icon in the notification bar and says "2 Text messages not sent." When clicked, it just takes him back to the inbox. However, the message that is sent does reach its recipient (my Dinc for testing purposes).
He is not rooted, and he's running the stock messaging app (for all intents and purposes, he does not "use" his Android the way we do, it's a work phone).
Any thoughts on why it's doing this?
EDIT: For what it's worth, he does not have any "drafts" in his Messages that could be causing this issue.
EDIT 2: This has been corrected. There were unsent messages that the stock messaging app was not showing. Upon downloading Handcent, said messages were made visible and were removed.
I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.
I'm on stock Android 4.4.4 with root. I'm using the native app for text messaging and lately is has become really slow. My suspicion is I have too many multimedia messages so I lowered the multimedia message limit to five per conversation. I have since rebooted the phone and been using it for hours, however, when I go into text conversations and scroll thru the messages, I can see that there are many more than five multimedia messages in each conversation. I have the "delete old messages" option checked so shouldn't any older multimedia messages be automatically deleted once the limit of five is reached?
Anyone else have the issue where older text messages are not being deleted? Particularly MMS.
All my MMS group messages become individual SMS so if I begin a group message, it gets sent to everyone individually instead of one group message. It's fairly annoying and I tried 2 different Roms with stock kernal and the same thing happened. Is there some solution or something I'm missing?
Look arround your provider APN settings, i think your APN is generic and some settings are miss
All the settings look appropriate for t-mobile it appear
The defualt OP texting app doesnt have mms functionality. Just install a 3rd party app to send mms like textra or android messages.
Switch to Textra App. Download it. And make sure to go to Textra Settings ->Group Messaging -> Chat. Works perfectly.
