I currently have had the SPH-720 for a month now, bought the blue one during the BB deal over the holidays...anyways. Been flashing ROMS back and forth and currently on Sacs ROM. Now I've spent DAYS Googling and search forums all over for help on this and I keep getting the same answer. My wife recently ditched the android life and got an iPhone and every time she sends me emojis or vice versa none of them show up on my phone. I can see what emojis I send but she just gets the black diamond with the question mark and I get them on my phone when she replies with emojis. Here are ALL the procedures I've been thru to get it to work on my end cause I'm assuming it's my phone. I've download ChompSms, Handcent, GoSms, Textra and all the emoji plug-ins to get them to work and I still get the same error of diamonds. I've even tried installing the DroidSansFallBack.tff font and fallback.xml whatever and changed the permissions and NOTHING. Can anybody tell me what I should do? Tried all the latest AOSP ROMs and nothing as well, I thought it was a error with Sprint with sending MMS over WiFi but that doesn't apply with the 3rd party apps so I've heard.
Not a Noob when it comes to android phones so if it's anything "complicated" any input is appreciated.
Edit: BTW I use Kii keyboard as my default and have tried KK keyboard as well but still getting the same error

I've tried that numerous times, wiped constantly and flashed 5.0-5.4 of sacs Rom, one of them my emojis worked but after I updated to like 5.3 I think I lost all my emojis. I can view them on Facebook, twitter, and IG but when use them in a text they don't show up.

I have the option to pull up emojis on my stock keyboard, and have iwinnime installed but I still get the same problem. Checked it out on my moms s3 last night and she gets emojis fine but I'm like WTF..I'm lost. Here are pics between my wife's iPhone and me using the stock TW messaging app and go SMS. Now I can type emojis using keyboards and any 3rd party messaging app but she all she receives is the error of diamonds in question marks. I'm currently on MJA apparently and I'm ready to wipe the device completely, return to stock and install mk2... Idk if it will help but I'm crossing my fingers.

*sigh* i'm at a lost lol, ok let me explain what i currently just did. so i used the STOCK rooted MJA Rom found on here cuz that was my current baseband at the moment this all was happened and i mentioned updating it to mk2 which i just did thru odin. So now I'm on the current mk2 baseband stock and rooted thru odin and philz recovery....I grabbed my office's ipad and loaded hangouts on there cuz that was the quickest way i could access at IOS at the time. I send a message from my s4 with emoji's on the default keyboard...via hold mic and select smileys....what do you know THE EMOJIs go thru on hangouts fine via message. So I had one of my friends with a iPhone send me emojis via sms. And here goes the Bullish** with the diamonds and question marks. I'm at A LOST!!!! I wanna install sacs latest but if I can't get the problem fixed on stock what is a custom ROM gonna do for me.

I pulled my hair out with this too. Do you use Google Voice with your Sprint number? If so, Google somehow screws up the emojis when they handle the data. I think the other features make Voice worthwhile, so I still use it with my GS4.
My wife has a Note 3 and was using Voice and had the exact symptoms you are. We removed Voice from her Sprint account (don't just delete the app, you need to remove it from your account...see Google), and the emojis immediately began to work fine.
You might not be a Voice user, but I wanted to put this here in case someone finds this down the road.
Lol it's funny that you replied to this @nobody291 . i came across the information this morning about this google voice problem and TA-DA!!! i disabled my sprint number and can now see Emojis again.

Hi I installed the latest version of the Messenger App and chat heads doesnt show up in any options. How can I make it work? It really looks like an amazing feature, thanks in advanced!
Has anyone sent u a TXT or message. Didn't show until I had one incomming

You have to be on the Facebook messenger app and go to setting and activate the messenger app as you regular message, now if you want to have the chat head, either way for a person to send you a message or, in message app hold down a pop up will appear and press on "pop out chat head"

I found that the chat head only appears if i leave my "home screen". my girlfriend sent me a message and nothing happened until I opened the browser or any other app. When i did that the chat head floated on to the edge of the screen. If i leave the app it dissapears!? I have tested with Nova Prime, SSlauncher, Buzz launcher and the stock TouchWiz launcher. The same thing happens.
Very strange.
A quick restart after update and checking it in settings (of the messenger app) might work out.
It doesn't work if you have your status bar hidden or apps that go into full screen.

An account issue
So I've identified it as a Facebook account issue. Chat Heads doesn't on my phone with my account, but when I logged in with a friends account chat heads worked fine.
Such a bummer... when I logged out of their account and logged back into mine the functionality was locked again and chat heads is no where to be found as long as I use my account.
Tried using the re-signed APK versions of Katana, Orca, and Home from Paul at MoDaCo. Got home to work, but chat heads wasnt available...so I uninstalled. Home is...well...meh.
Really wanted chat heads, guess i'll just wait for a fix i guess...

As you can see, no available option for 'Chat Heads'
So i just noticed that with the stock LG messaging application i am not getting the pop-up quick reply. I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?
Thanks!
I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.
That's how it is suppose to work, however that has stopped working for me hence the post

Well I unfroze everything & still not working dyes I have the option set to yes. Only things I've done is flash stock browser and installed an old apk of Google Talk as I didn't like Hangouts.
I think maybe something with the Google Talk install did it. Looks like I'll have to restore to a backup.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Mine stopped working as well. Did everyone here install GMD Auto Hide?
i used TWRP to do a factory wipe and it fixed it. Restored my backup and wasn't there. Yes i installed gmd auto hide.
I think GMD is breaking the pop up. Oh well.. I rather not have those ugly software buttons than have the message pop up.

Has anyone been able to get the native SMS app from a 4.3 build working on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE.? It receives SMS just fine and seems to have a SMS receiver app because i can view any SMS that is sent to its mobile number, but there is no interface to type a response. I tried to transplant the mms.apk from a Nexus 4 4.3 build as i did with my 2012 Nexus 7 3G but after changing the permissions and rebooting the cell radio kept crashing so there is something more involved other than just transplanting the APK and changing the permissions for the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE. Any ideas..? Thanks for your time, it's greatly appreciated.
I'm using a third party app (GoSMS Pro), it works great!

That worked but the old notification window is still present when new SMS messages come in. So the mms.apk gets the SMS but the old display olny notification also pops up.

Problem solved i disabled the simple Message Viewer i found in application manager, i guess i can delete that apk or file..

Tried this, the apk would not install. Does it need to be copied to a specific location on the tablet?
Update: Never mind, copied it to /system/app, set permissions and I'm golden.
This workaround appears to no longer work on 4.4 (official build) as the ability to set an app as the default SMS app is hidden.
Has anyone figured out a further workaround?
Anyone have the solution in getting this working in Kit Kat..? Thanks

As I said attached is the zip to enable SMS functionality on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE model, the fix was developed by GuyAdams for the Nexus 7 3G 2012 and then ported to the 2013 LTE model. This was made from Android 4.4 (KRT16S).
I can successfully use hangouts to receive and send SMS using this zip.
Just flash while in recovery and reboot, you should be good to go. I or should i say we are NOT responsible if you botch this up.
View attachment 2013_KRT16S_SMS.zip
In case you want to revert back to your stock non SMS capable state i have attached a zip to revert back to the original non SMS capable state..
Just flash while in recovery, and again i or should i say we are NOT responsible if you botch this up.

Do we have a basic or technical explanation as to what caused or why this happened? I'm assuming root is required as well?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm not sure what you mean why this happened..? This was intentionally done by google, no nexus 7 with mobile connectivity ever had native SMS or Telephony services out of the box. It always needed a "hack" to get it fully working.
Root is not required as all you need is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery in order to flash the zip. I just boot into my custom recovery but everyone does things differently.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------------------------------------------------
a side effect of this is the call setting being exposed (set up google voice and you will gain access) so lets see if we can take it one step more and get the google dialer working for sip calls.. so far it seems to try and dial directly from the people app by selecting a contacts number, but if you try dialing from within the new google dialer it crashes.. Just a heads up, if anyone knows the dependancies needed for the kit kat google dialer please do chime in..

Hey all - running stock, rooted on the latest MJ7 update and it seems since this update the stock Sammy keyboard refuses to remember any custom words I input. For example: go to my banking app and enter my user ID in the required field ... I opt to remember the my user ID but once I back out of the app the word is forgotten. If I stay in the app the word will be remembered, but once I exit the apps the words are gone. It's like this for every app! I've tried everything to get it to remember words but nothing works! It was working fine before the MJ7 update ... I've cleared app data and cache, Uninstalled Xposed and nothing seems to get it working ... switched to Swype and it works fine there so it seems to be isolated to the Sammy KB.
Anyone else seeing this with the stock keyboard?

Got the same problem here on my not rooted EU version (not branded). It's the only thing that I find really annoying on this phone, but I don't want to use another keyboard because of handwriting recognition and the number row. Can't believe that we're the only ones here who recognise this bug...?
Additionally I even don't have this personal dictionaries point in Settings. Sometimes e.g. after a bracket the double-tap for a full stop isn't working.
I'm on the Verizon variant and recently received an update that resolved my issues (as well as changed the keyboard theme to dark). Hopefully future updates will resolve it for others as well

You actually can add new words. all you have to do is go to SETTING / CONTROLS / LANGUAGE AND INPUT/ hit the gear next to SAMSUNG KEYBOARD/ tap on the words PREDICTIVE TEXT and then tap LEARN FROM MESSAGES. Once this is done, start a text message and then hit the white arrow that comes up. Your phone has now learned the word that you wanted it too.

Hey guys
I rooted my MF3 SG4 and froze a ton of that garbage bloatware but nothing I didnt find on safe lists on XDA.
Also pre this root around I actually did brick the phone pretty good but was able to Odin my way out with the newly released files.
some reason though my SMS doesnt work. I never noticed becasue I use Voxer and Google Voice but for some reason I checked and its totally not working in either hangouts or the messaging app.
any idea why
