[Q] Galaxy S5 to iPhone Messaging bugs - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I send SMS's to my girl friend's iPhone, she receives some of them as empty. If I resend that one again and again, it is empty forever. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is there any correlation with Samsung emojis? Because I often use emojis.
Also, I have another problem.
Does all the Samsung mobile phones have the 160 characters limit on their default messaging app? My Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), runs on Lollipop and I am also having this issue. Is there a way to avoid this limit without rooting?

[Q] has anyone enabled text message blocking?

when I had my GS 3 for Sprint you could add a number to spam messages and it wouldn't notify you. I know the other carriers get this feature with Samsung messaging on the s5. Has anyone been able to unlock it?
I started using hangouts because it has a similar feature, but whenever I use ultra power saving mode, that defaults to Samsung messaging, it shows me the messages from the people I don't want.
bump. it seems like something someone must have looked into at this point

Cant Send Txts Using Google Now

Hi all,
Started this thread in the Asus ZenWatch section, but looks like it is more indicative of the S5 as a whole. Whenever I try to use Google Now to send a text message using my voice, it shows up in my conversations as sent, but the recipient never actually receives it. This occurs in the Verizon Messaging App, the default Samsung Messaging App, and Google Hang Outs. When I click on the message history, it looks like the phone is adding the country code of "01" (USA) to the beginning of my texts. I'm in the USA so I'm not sure of this is a problem or not. As of right now, I can't send any texts through Google Now. This is a huge deal breaker for me, as I got the phone specifically for hands-free applications.
I'm working with a Samsung Galaxy S5 running 4.4.4 on the Verizon Network. Any help or advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Help Removing group sms limit 20 recipients - Galaxy S5

Hello everybody.
I'm new here and yes I registered my account mostly for this question but I've searched my ass off here and via google for the last two hours in order to get this on my phone.
I want to be able to add as many receipents as I like to the send message dialogue. Yes my phone is rooted (CF Autoroot method 2), and no I don't have a custom rom and would like to not have to install one. Yes I'm aware I might have to repeat this product with firmware updates.
I found a simlar guide for many other phones including Galaxy S3, S4, Note 3 and so one. Here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055947 . Either this or some wort of APK-unlock file is my idea? Other solutions are also welcome.
Found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock but it's just for the messaging limit not recipient limit.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: Maybe the topis is a bit misleading since I dont want a group sms convesation, just the ability to send a text to as many recipients as I want to and override the 20 person limit.

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.

Android Messenger Issues

Anyone have any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this issue -
Have Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Verizon. Was using Android Messenger by Google as my SMS app. About three weeks ago, my wife's texts from her Samsung Galaxy S7 on Verizon (also generated by Android Messenger) started coming in under the name "Anonymous" instead of her contact info and I could not text her (either as a reply or a new message). After some troubleshooting, we both switched to the default Samsung texting app and I can, usually, text her. However, sometimes, I get "Error 5: Other Network Error" when texting her. By waiting a while the message will go through. Android Messenger (which I keep trying to switch to) refuses to send messages to her - via the phone or Android Messenger for Web.
I can't find any discussion that this is a known issue for Android Messenger. I can't find any settings on either phone or Verizon online that says that there's some issue. Does anyone have any thoughts?
hey i had the same problem.
what i had to do was disable the samsung messaging app before setting the Android messenger app to default.

Weird. Well, it won't let me do that for some reason, but I did learn that I was behind on OTA updates by about 2 months. After doing both Aug. and Sept., it works. Not sure why. Guess we can mark this as solved.
