Texting problems - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Added a number to my phone today but all texts I sent to her instantly failed. She could send to me and I would receive it but I couldn't send to her.
Was using Textra when this started. Tried to use the messaging app to see if it would work but it would let me send any messages with Textra set as the default messaging app.
I changed the default to Messaging and was able to text her. Went into Textra and it also wouldn't work unless I set it to be the default.
1. Can you not use other texting apps while defaulted to something else?
2. Any idea why I couldn't send to her? (don't know what phone she is on)

MMS problems?

So, I realized yesterday that my phone does not receive picture messages, I can send then just fine, as well as sms. I can even receive sms messages fine. I called tmo yesterday and they had me delete the "telkila" (sp?) apn to no avail.then they had me do wipe/factory reset. After all that I still don't receive mms. I'm out of town and plan to call them this afternoon when I get back home, but before I do, I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem or maybe has any suggestions. Rooted, using handcent sms...
Sent from myTouch 4G using XDA app
I cannot send MMS and have not received any so IDK if people have tried to send me any or not otherwise I would be sure I had recieving MMS problems as well...
I can send and recieve SMS fine though..
I just sent an MMS (I think it went through...)...I think it depends on the method...it didnt work when I view the picture, tap on it, select the SEND OUT icon and then I tap Messages....
it DID work when I did this method:
I had the SMS open, clicked the PaperClip icon, attached the picture, then input the persons name....
weird? -maybe the expresso UI is interfering with froyos native mms ability?

[Q] Problem with n9005 stock sms app

Dear All,
This problem is rather strange. I have an issue with my stock message app. It can receive and send SMS for the most part
The problem is, I can't seem to receive any SMS from one particular number only.
I can, however, send an SMS to that same number. It is receiving texts that are problematic.
I have checked with that other phone already, and it was able to send and receive SMS to another phone (not mine), without issue. Hence the problem appears to lie with my phone.
Of course, I can't say if there are other numbers from whom I can't receive SMS, but can only send, but this is something that I of course will not be able to know for sure.
Help please!
ADDITIONAL:
I am now using Hangouts, but it is not very intuitive. It does not have search capabilities. But at least when i use hangout as my default messaging app, i can receive text messages from that particular number. I tried going back to the stock messaging app, but the problem is still there and this problem is present each time i attempt to revert to the stock samsung app as the default messaging app. Hangouts is presently the default messaging app, so i can receive SMS from the particular number.
Hope you can help identify the issue here. Thanks.

Default apps issues

I just bought a Galaxy S6 Edge+ on AT&T 32 gb, and I'd like to use Google Voice. I can set the default sms sending app to Google Voice after clearing the SMS default from the Messaging app, but after a few hours, it seems to reset. Is there any way to lock the default settings so they cannot be changed automatically? That it has to ask if I want it to change and I can refuse a change permanently if I decide I want to?

If it helps, I think I figured out what the problem is. There's a secondary default for the SMS app, for whatever reason it's under Connections > More Connection Settings. Is there a way to manually add an app to this setting's list? Or disable this setting entirely? Either this, or can I get an SMS app that won't automatically or repeatedly take defaults and permissions that I don't want it to? Basically, the endgame here is an SMS app that can receive my carrier's messages, but won't take the SMS default send permissions away from the Google Voice app. And I do not want to use Hangouts.

MMS keep becoming individual SMS, any solution?

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.

cant receive mms with chomp sms

Chomp SMS is my go too texting app. I can get pics with the stock messaging app but get a message saying check APN setting with chomp. I've changed them and it's still not working.
Any suggestions??
