Group messaging doesnt work? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have T-Mobile and my group messaging is not working.. No matter if i use the stock app or Google hangouts..
The actual option is missing in Google hangouts under settings,sms, and then right under advanced settings it should show something like Group messaging or something..
I called samsung and they said it was the carrier and then i called tmobile and they said to come into the store to trade it out for a different one.
Can anyone with Tmobile send group messages with their GS5?
Thanks

Ok. I got it figured out.
It is the SIM Card.
SIM Card provisioning wasnt allowing it for some reason.. I went into the Tmobile store and they swapped out my S5 with a new one, I put in my old sim and it gave me the same issue.. I asked him if we could try the sim card that came with the new phone and he was like, thats not gonna work because all a sim does is allow you on the network.. I begged to differ..
They tried it and it worked after a reboot.
Good luck guys and gals

Problems with SMS sending

I've got some problems with sending SMS.
I read about people with this problem, but nothing to fix that problem.
Please give me some information how to fix the problem.
1. I have the right SMS center
2. I have intalled provider configuration after hard-reset
3. I use WM 6.5 (5.2.21500 - 21613)
4. I use latest Radio (1.14.25.24)
5. I use new Manila (2.0.37889.1)
When I will send a SMS to someone, some seconds later came up message "Can't send SMS".
With the same SIM I can send SMS with an other mobile.
When I got my Touch HD, I couldn't send SMSs either. It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS in newer phones (like touch hd). Try to get a new SIM card.
Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it.

I never heard about that. Why is there a problem with older SIM-cards??
Searching google don't give me any hint!
Is there someone with other ideas?
Intresting approach !
So lets run the above by me one more time.
You post saying that you cant send sms, give us info about your settings, rom and radio.
User one says "It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS "
User two says "Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it. "
and then you google not liking the answer.
Now you want somebody to give you another answer, will google and not like it and then ??
I for one can not answer the question of why one can have a problem with old sim cards only confim that I had it and I solved it. But What do I know.
Hi HDuser.
Thanks for your reply to my thread! But it didn't help ...
On writing my statement, the second one (you) told, that he fixed the problem with a new card, too. So I saw first just one answer, after submitting the second.
My reason to ask more people is:
- I have to pay for a new SIM. Why should I order a new one, just one person told something about a new SIM.
- I don't understand, where's the differents between this SIM-card new one vs old one.
Are there realy different SIM-versions in the market? I don't find anything about that search the net...
Please post some URL to read about that fact.

Update 1:
I checked out with an other SIM (newer from 2008 prepaid) and the news: with it I can send out SMS.
So I phoned with my provider today. I will get a new SIM for free. They told me, a new SIM is good for my battery and GSM-connection, too.
Update 2:
Today I got my new SIM. But SMS don't sendout :-(
Where's the problem - that's my question at all!
Yours Andreas
Now I can only go on what happend to me and that was a faulty sim.
I too have to buy a new sim but if the sim that I have does not work then its a fault of my provider not mine. (but I have a contract and not a pre-paid).
I cant point you to anywere as you yourself can't find the issue in google.
If you feel its not the sim, them use a friends and SMS with that one, prove that you can SMS on the device and you know its not the device.
Proving that you can SMS with your sim an other device does not mean that the sim works on your blackstone.
On mine device just reflashed I need only to go to phone, options - services -voice messages and text - get settings .... this gives me my text message service of my provider. I am set and can send.
Sms Sending Problem with simcard of U-Fone - Pakistan
i have HTC Touch HD i installed the new 1.56 V3.3 XTREME by Dutty based ROM. everything works fine but sms. when i send sms it stays in the outbox until i make a call. the sms is only sent when i make a call.
i have tried the new sim card solution but no use.
still having problem. if someone have a solution please help.
Think you will find that the sms goes even though it says it doesn't, at least that is what mine is doing as the girlfriend thought I'd gone mad and sent her about ten messages all about some flight details.
Even though the phone said not sent she got them all lol, but got to admit it is annoying and it has nothing to do with my sim it has only happened since shifting to the 1.56 base all previous cooked roms worked without this glitch.
I don't have interface to send SMS or type a new e-mail
when i try to send a new sms or a new e-mail i got a blank white page.
please help
on Dutty's roms this is known bug of manila.
I have an old simple sim, more than 5 years old, and I can send sms within standard sms application. but when I use manila (on dutty's rom) it sends somtimes, and sometimes it doesn't.

SMS saved to sim, can't delete?

for whatever reason, the first four text messages i received upon using my tmo HD2 for the first time were saved to the sim. i can delete them and not see them while my phone is on, but upon rebooting, they come back! how do i delete them? i've searched and can't find much of anything.
thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't find a fix anywere.

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!
So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.
what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?
bump this up, still need help!
anyone? anyone at all?
happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...
I have the same problem here :-(
I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?
bump. also have this problem
I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(
you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!

Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?
Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::​
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.
hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.
Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.

annoying "129 (1)" text message keeps recurring...

i keep getting this blank text message which has what looks like either my sim or storage card icon next to it. the contact or sender is "129(1)".i dont know if i am missing texts or if this is some weird glitch.
anyone know what this is?
ive attached a screenshot of my messages so you can see.
thanks,
jason
this happens to me all also, don't know what it is though.
Its a message stuck on your sim card. Just delete it and it should go away. If it was like mine it would go away, what I did was put the sim in a regular phone and delete it. Then put it back in your HD2 and it should be gone. If that doesn't work get a new sim card from T-mobile they should replace it for free for you.

so is there a way to go into thesim and delete this on my hd2 or must i use another phone?
thanks again

Try moving it from the sim to your phone and then deleting it. I remember getting this when I first got my HD2 and that was what I did.
Future 129's just go straight to the phone so no problem getting rid of them.
I seem to recall that one of the potential causes of this would be having visual voicemail enabled on the account without the vvm app running on the phone.
Sounds like its a notification message for VVM then. VMM likely normally intercepts it before you get a chance to see it would be my guess
I asked T-Mobile about this...
T-Mobile told me that this was a page from someone leaving you a voicemail message. If you call to check your voicemail options on T-Mobile, there is an option to not allow yourself to be paged. The only weird thing I noticed with this is that whenever I get one of those messages, it never contains any informaton. I started using the visual voice mail and I still get the 129 messages. After some thought I decided to not turn it off, any extra reminders that I have a voice mail are welcome!

Bingo. I later remembered that was the resolution when I got those on my TP2 months ago. The text is supposed to be the trigger for the vvm app to sync with the server...but I do remember them stopping as soon as I removed the vvm option from my account (I had tested the app and was unimpressed).

[Q] messages, or google hang out with crashing upon sending or receiving an s_m_s msg

thank you in advance. I have an LG g2 d802 which I purchased through Amazon. The phone was working perfectly in the US with AT&T. I then brought the phone to Venezuela where I tried using SIM cards from two different carriers. With both carriers I have the same problem. When sending or receiving an SMS message, whichever app I have set as the default app crashes with no way to send a report, just a dialog box saying the app crashed. I tried wiping the phone from the phone's settings user interface, as well as installing t w r p and wiping from that. I have tried 2 different firmwares for the 802 which I found on the internet, with different version numbers of the system, and still the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could still try at this point to get messaging working?
Thanks
Greg
wow! No one has any suggestions? Anything would be appreciated!
Can you logcat it maybe? Try to pull out your simcard, flash the right kk basebands flash the rom and reboot and reinsert the simcard again maybe it works normally then. I will think of some ideas and i will repost it here again.
Maybe you need to do some build.prop modifications to set the region or what. Does your phone says to which cellular network is connected?
thank you so much! The phone has no sim card, and you can't pull the battery. I did install wildcat and I'm seeing a lot of errors relating to the telecommunications database not being available. Now I'm seeing things like 08-22 12:01:32.128 E/DatabaseUtils(1583): ¿at com.android.providers.telephony.MmsSmsProvider.getThreadId(MmsSmsProvider.java:1332)
thanks again for the reply. I believe the phone was originally from Singapore as it had SingTel apps on it. I have tried flashing a few stockroms from other regions but nothing has worked. I'm going to have to read up about the KKbuild and build prop as those are new terms to me.
Update - I tried using build prop editor to change the locale region from u_s to venezuela and it keeps default thing back to u_s. Maybe this is part of the problem? I did use the phone on a_t_&_t network before bring it to venezuela.

yes my phone does show the network it is connected to, and I can make calls just fine and I can even use the data connection. there are two carriers here in Venezuela for which I have SIM cards, with one of the carriers I am able to receive the carrier's SMS messages which show my remaining prepaid credit, but other messages from other sources crash the messaging app. With the other SIM card I have, even the messages from the carrier crash the messaging apps. So with one carrier it almost works.
I'm in a part of the country with very poor internet but in early September I will have good access and can download roms etc and can follow the instructions you gave me. Thank you! Greg

Nice to see other people also coming up with fixes i didnt thought about an 3rd party sms app yet ;D.
@takoateli could you post an full logcat? Then i could look into it maybe. Use for the time the textra app which Gemc has introduced. I hope that your problem is going to get solved soon

Thank you so much! That did it! What's interesting is that before installing that app my phone would not automatically get the APN information from the sim cards. I had to enter it manually. After installing the app now the phone gets the APN information from sim cards. So not only does installing that app fix the problem with messaging crashing, but it restore is the proper interaction with the sim cards. Obviously that app contains something that's missing from the stock l_g firmware.

Straight talk group sms

About a week ago my group messages not working. I called straight talk and the person said they don't support it. I had it for a yr and now it stopped wtf???
Anyone else?
I tried hangouts and the stock SMS app still nothing the message won't download.
Straight talk USA I'm using....
Sent from my Moto X Pure
I use group text with straight talk all the time. However, its MMS, there is no such thing as group SMS. I would check your MMS settings, they changed the APN recently.

Im straight talk ATT, are you ATT or TMobile?
I have the same issue on my LG G2. I have Straight Talk AT&T. I am able to send group text messages and pictures, I can text myself pics, I can send pics and receive in individual messages, but I can't receive group text messages. Funny thing is, I am able to receive group MMS pictures. (WTF?) I have tried this on stock messaging along with Textra and it's still not a go. I also spoke to Straight Talk, but their customer service is like to cadavers about the space-continuum.
I am on one of the latest Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightlies for my device. I tried resetting APN settings, wiping davlik cache, using the latest APN settings from Straight Talk, same issue. The funny thing is I have noticed is that after resetting my APN settings and adding a new APN, after a restart, it defaults back to the TFDATA APN for Straight Talk.
I am going to try my SIM in another phone to see if it works, but I may just have to do a fresh wipe. I will need to post this in the LG G2 support forums as well.
