Go Sms pro MMS issues

not getting go sms pro send mms for the life of me. I can sent pic/mms with the stock app and handcent but not with go sms pro (my favorite ...any suggestions. I have nexus 4 on ATT.

N4 initially couldn't send MMS with any app other than the stock app. Sounds like GoSMS hasn't been updated yet to be compatible.

I have yet to see a good sms alternative that works right with ics and up. They are all written to run on gingerbread and made "compatible" with 4.0-4.2.1. I would just use the stock mms, I use that and a custom text tones app, seems the best way to go
Really though it is frustrating. Why hasn't any developer dared to ditch gingerbread and make an sms app purely on 4.X framework? I loved gosms until I got my ics update on my vivid, afterwards it was buggy and laggy and looked like crap with no holo ui.
Anyway that's your problem. All the sms apps just suck and our stuck in the past.

So I found the fix for my own problem. Go SMS pro doesn't not import the default MMS APN info from the stock program. What worked for me- I manually updated the default AT&T APN details into go sms pro. pretty simple fix in the end. works like a charm so far.
1. on the N4, Go into settings/ mobile network/ access point names/ att wap. Record values for MMSC, MMS proxy and MMS port.
2. go into Go sms pro advanced settings/ MMS settings/ check in " fill APN manually"/ insert the previously recorded info above into the empty fields and voila...

Cool, I'll keep that in mind if I ever use it again, that's good to know

[ISSUE][TW 4.3] Incomplete Emojis & Entering an Emoji Converts to MMS

In the 4.3 update, we got emojis in keyboard. Well it came along with some issues.
One issue is that Some Emojis are missing, okay that's tolerable.
Second issue which annoys me, is that when I enter an emoji in SMS, it converts it to MMS! Whereas I can send Emojis via SMS through Hangouts. (I'd have used hangouts as SMS app but it is still incomplete at this stage)
Also I remember that I could send Emojis from CM10 as SMS which I installed on my older device, Xperia ray.

Same issue here. Don't particularly want to pay for am mms everytime I use an emoji ?

iPhone MMS not appearing on Messages but they show fine on Google Hangouts... WTH?!?

This one has me scratching my head looking for answers. I noticed this problem a while ago where my friends MMS sent from iPhones were not appearing on my Messages, I have the option for "fetch MMS automatically" and all I get is the little cloud but its blank, it only shows the time it was received, I've also tried disabling the fetch MMS automatically and even when downloading them it shows me the blank cloud. The doozy comes when I tried using Hangouts just to see what it was and to my surprise I could see all my SMS and MMS conversations from my contacts and all the pictures from the iPhone contacts were shown via Hangouts but they do not show on the stock Messages app.
Things I've tried:
1) Googling for answers only resulted in fanboyism comments and speculations that led to more fanboyism.
2) At first I tried contacting my carrier and they made me reset the APN settings to default, which I did and it was after that that I realized that it was only the iPhone MMS messages that weren't being received.
3) Tried disabling the Hangouts services via the Apps option on the settings menu. Restarted phone and still wouldn't work.
4) Been restarting my phone with each setting I change to see if it helps but no.
5) Been bugging my friends to send me MMS from their iPhones and one did get through but nothing more after that.
6) Made sure their iPhones had the setting of "Send MMS when iChat isn't available" enabled.
7) Made sure my old iPhone account was signed out of my old iPhone 4 so I wasn't receiving anymore iMessages.
I'm speculating that I either need to call my carrier again which is Claro PR and explain the situation to see if it helps, or maybe go to a store. Also, I've been thinking about Rooting my phone so I can uninstall some of the bloat, which included Hangouts but don't want to go down that path yet and I don't know if it would really help anything since I already tried disabling the service via the Apps options.
Please help me figure this out, I love this phone but this thing is bugging the hell out of me.

I have had problems with mms on hangouts and the stock app on Sprint doesn't support group mms. I have been using Go sms pro and everything works fine, including iPhone mms messages.
Hope that helps.

Hmm... interesting a replacement messaging app, I would definitely keep this in mind so thanks a lot for the suggestion. I rather use the stock apps while I'm getting used to the phone since this is my first Android device but will definitely use this if resetting to factory defaults doesn't help my problem.
*Edit*
Any other suggestions for my problem are welcomed.

LG didn't enable MMS group messaging on stock messages. My HTC One and S4 had the option in settings to enable it...LG left it out. If you haven't heard, TEXTRA is one of the best, fastest, light weight messaging apps that can handle iPhone group messages without the bloat on go sms and handcent. Look it up on the playstore...ratings are great and all my Android friends use it now. I've yet ran into any issues with group texting.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I've looked up Textra and seems like a nice alternative and has a very clean interface, I'm currently using Hangouts from Google without a problem but would have preferred the stock message app. It's weird because I went to my carrier and they did some test and everything was fine, turns out its only MMS sent from iPhones that won't show through the Message app from G2. Maybe I should try emailing them to see if I can get some answers?

Yea only the Verizon variant supports group messages. I posted a thread about this in the Themes and Apps forum. Could be the cause.
All my friends group text me all the time and send MMS using the Verizon version Messaging app and hangouts. The stock messaging app world best though.

Not receiving some picture messages

I'm rooted on chroma rom and I've also had this issue on the other roms I've tried. It seems like only screenshots that I don't get. My girlfriend has a galaxy note 4 and she can send me most picture messages but not screenshots.

Are you using Hangouts for text messages? I've had problems receiving mms when I use Hangouts. Switching apps solved the problem

Buddy has a note 4 on vzw and I can't see his screenshots either via text lol. Both hangouts or messenger.

Same as ranger093 messaging app doesn't seem to matter. I feel like it must have something to do with the file size.. I've found that if I go in and edit the photo by resizing it (make it smaller) it comes across just fine.

Any Suggestion or Tip for Messaging App or Fix? Galaxy S7 Edge (Sprint)

Can anyone suggest an app that will support long texts and will not split them into multiple ones and annoy the person who is ultimately receiving it? I previously had the Galaxy Note 4 and used the Go Pro sms app and that seemed to work well in sending my lengthy messages (over 160 characters) as one and not splitting it into 3 or 4 parts. Go Pro doesn't seem to be working now with my Galaxy S7 edge or am I missing something in the settings? The stock seems to be worse and just sends it into a jumbled mess.
Does anyone have any fix suggestion or app suggestion? Thanks.

if you look at the setting in the default messaging app it does it all
it also has enhanced feature that you can turn on that will send large files videos etc

Google Hangouts supports long texts without splitting them, but only if the person you're texting has an app (and a network) that supports it as well.

Google Messages works really well.

As Robalboa said, the stock app does what the OP wants to do. People need to learn to explore all the menus in an app to learn what's available.
