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.

My friend has an iPhone 4. When he sends me a pic through mms i get "your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. portions of this message will not be displayed". he is just sending a picture he took not anything else. i reboot and ask him to resend and still no luck. the only thing that does work is when he zooms in on the pic then takes a screenshot of it then sends it to me.
Does anyone know why this happens? its pretty annoying.
i attached a screenshot of how it looks
Lol, check the size of pictures. I think mms only supports 640x to 320x
I have this probleme too when I send one mms picture to a old phone. I resize and works

Maybe try a different sms app like GoSMS? That's what I've been using and haven't had any issues with mms... plus it allows me to zoom into pictures which the stock text messaging app wouldn't allow.
That makes sense. It would be great if there wasn't any ristriction. Or like if would automatically resize the picture before it revives or something lol.

I also use handcent. It gives me the same problem. I'm gonna try the application you mentioned. Hopefully it works for me.

Interesting.... I've received pictures from my brothers iPhone 4 just fine. That's using the stock text messaging app.
I'm on ATT and it looks like I have the dreaded MMS failure issues. For example I often get group texts from iPhone users that send as MMS but they don't download for me. Any ideas?

I'm currently in a group message with two people, and while I am able to see both replies, the names aren't differentiated between causing it to seem as if one person is sending all of the messages. Anyone else having this issue? I'm currently using Textra and will go back to the stock messaging app to see if that fixes it.
Or try hangouts as default sms

I use Hangouts with group MMS enabled and it works fine.

Hangouts and stock messaging don't have this issue for me.

I use Verizon's Message+ as my default text messaging app. When I send a group message to others, I receive the replies (from iPhone users) as a DOWNLOAD. If I click on it, it says Downloading but nothing comes through.
I have read that some people have this problem if they switched over from an iPhone and were using iMessenger. I've always had an Android, never an iPhone.
I have tried using stock messenger and same thing happens. It appears this started when I starting using the 6P, didn't have this issue with previous phones.
Do you have to hit a download button for videos and photos sent to you?
No.

Huh, odd. My thought was that perhaps MMS auto-retrieve is disabled since group messages are usually MMS. If not, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Auto-reply is active. I'm wondering if it could be:
1) an updated version of iOS?
2) Nexus 6P and Verizon not working together nicely?
There is already a thread on this topic. Verizon messages is screwed up in the latest update. You need to find the apk for version 6.02 for messenger to work with MMS.
Great! Thanks for the info.

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.
