Group Messages/MMS issues after installing xposed? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running Pure Nexus for awhile and had xposed before on older versions. It was working pretty good but I had a lot of MMS issues where people would send me pictures and my messenger app would just keep telling me that it couldn't be retrieved. Then I would stop getting group messages as well.
At first I tried several different apps including Textra, Hangouts, Messenger, Chomp SMS, but the MMS issue continued. I even tried some alternate APN settings. Eventually I got frustrated and reflashed PN and voila my MMS disappeared.
Over some time I missed my xposed modules so I reflashed xposed and immediately after I began having MMS issues again. So from my experiences it made me narrow down my culprit to xposed although I'm not 100% sure.
Anyone else run into this problem?

Bad luck... I never had issues with mms on xposed.... :/ Are you on arm64 version xposed?

Yes. Maybe its something else but that's what my evidence pointed to

Didn't mean to bump an old thread but I was having similar issues. I uninstalled adblock plus and a couple unused xposed extensions and it started working. I believe it was the adblocker though.

Ad Block was also my problem with MMS and XPOSED. It prevented me from sending MMS.

I'm running the default APN setting I googled some Verizon settings but I haven't found any up to date ones.

Couple of things. 1 check to see if you connected to LTE, You cannot send MMS over wifi on Verizon. They took that feature out, dont know why. Second, Check to see if there any old MMS that are stuck, its good idea to delete all old MMS that are pending to be sent and retry.
Someone else posted something similar the other night, they had one of those old MMS stuck in resizing. He deleted that message and his MMS started working again.
I have a similar problem since I updated to Verizon Message version 6.06. I could not go back to the last version, and I was unable to find the prior version APK file; however, Amazon had a very old version of Verizon Message, so I loaded that and it fixed the issue. I was also able to use the stock message app to get and send MMS, but with Verizon's app I could not.

Turn data on.

Hi, without trying to hijack the thread, why solid this be an issue? I am having trouble with my s5 cm 13 alpha and assumed it was because of that, but does pushbullet affect it?

I had trouble with my 6p sending MMS. After googling it, I found people with the same issue and quite a few had pushbullet installed and said that once they uninstalled it, it worked fine. Once I uninstalled it, MMS started working again.

This happened to me the other day. I tried turning data on/off, airport mode on/off, restarting the device, clearing data&cache from the Messages application as well as reverting Messages to factory and reinstalling the updates.
Either by chance or by one/all of those things, it seemed to clear up.
This is not just Verizon, it's happening to T-Mobile also but I don't think it's a carrier issue. My nexus 5 does the same thing as my 6p. Rebooting the phones and it starts working again. This affects group messaging also. When I receive a group text it days unable to download. Restart they phone and it comes through. Hopefully this is a marshmallow issue that will hey fixed ota.
It's the app. Mostly happens to me when WiFi is connected with "WiFi calling" enabled. I disable WiFi and reboot the phone and then everything works again. It happens to me once in every month, if that. Don't bother me much.

3rd party messenger apps can't send/receive MMS

Anyone also have this problem, I can't send/receive MMS with 3rd party messenger apps like Google messenger, has anyone else encountered this or found a fix?
Check the app permissions?
Checked all permissions, everything looks good but can't send/receive mms messages, I can send SMS messages
Yes!
I've been trying to track this since yesterday. I lost it somewhere between all the flashing and customizing of EU ROM.
It definitely did work on Chinese official.
I can send SMS and MMS from 3rd party, but I can only receive SMS in it.
The incoming MMS are disappearing into thin air, that is as long as 3rd party app is handling SMS as default.
With all hair ripped out of my skull, I'm getting ready to wipe again.
Which ROM are you on ?

Have you doubled checked your APN settings ? Could be as simple as that (hopefully) . Ive had similar issues with my Oneplus2 before i changed my settings and everything worked fine.

Damn, just made a thread for this too.
I can't send or receive MMS...I am on the Stock Chinese ROM...
I was never able to send/receive MMS on the Chinese official stable rom, and now that I'm on Lithium EU rom it still doesn't work. I have checked APN settings several times, and allowed all permissions but something is preventing MMS for sending/receiving.
I had some MMS wonkiness too several months ago with mi Mi Max (since then upgraded to Mix). I tried quite a few MMS apps, finding Textra handling all my messages, including images, just fine. I've stayed with it since and it's worked great, no issues or lost messages/images.
It is ROM dependent. Some of the ROM's do not work well because of a conflict on the locale setting vs the APN
Same problem.
Material messaging works perfect though. I guess because it has the ability to input custom APN settings
I'm having a similar problem with the google dialer. It won't list call history even though it has full permission. I've tried disabling and removing stock dialer to no effect.
me 2...
I cannot use the google messenger to send mms either. I am on 6.12.22 global rom. I tried setting all sorts of permission, won't send. I tried the Mi Mix's built in texting app, works.. hmmm...
Try
Settings -> Installed Apps -> Defaults -> Messaging -> switch to your app or switch to the xiaomi messenger app and then switch back to your app.
I had this issue with my Mix. It turned out that setting my phone to Norwegian did this when using Ice.net provider. Using English solved it, but I ended up changing provider and now it works fine with Norwegian.

MMS not working after a few days on any stock based rom.

Hello,
I've been having this issue on stock and any stock based rom. Currently on WETA 5.0.7 on a US996 unlocked.
MMS works fine at bootup, but after a few days, pictures are not downloading. Using google messenger, shows downloading and never does. The LG app doesn't even show that an image was sent and needs to be fetched.
I tried disabling/enabling data to no avail. Only solution I've found is to reboot the phone and then force the download.
Any ideas of culprit or solutions?
Thanks

Same issue here, it also keeps converting almost all of my sms to mms. Any added emoji automatically changes it to mms. Most the time all my sms sent to me come thru as mms. Tried multiple SMS apps. So far android messages seems to kinda work.

I doubt we'll get an answer since people probably flash their phones every other day and reboot it!

Sigh, I too have the same issue. A reboot fixes it. When it was acting up I tried Chomp SMS and chomp didn't even detect any of the pending messages. Maybe I didn't wait long enough? Anyway I rebooted and then Google message picked up the mms messages. Super frustrating LG! Of all the various phones I've had in the past, I never encountered this issue...

Delayed notifications for WhatsApp message

Hello!
If I remember well, for many phones, on some custom rom's, whatsapp messages come with a delay. Meaning, at some point, even if WhatsApp is not battery optimized, it seems that is put to sleep by doze, and only if I open the application, form time to time, then I received my messages.
ON stock I didn't had this problem.
I restored WHatsApp from TItanium backup.
Afterwards I installed again, over
Any ideas for fix or workaround?
THank you
Hi,
I've the same problem with WhattsApp, Skype and Viber!
Messages does not arrive... I need to open the app and do something to force a refresh.
But I've rooted (with Magisk) and installed both AFWall and AdAway, maybe this is the reason.

AFWall shouldn't stop notifications if you haven't any firewall rules to stop the app from accessing internet. AdAway shouldn't have any affect too if you haven't blacklisted related IP's.
In most cases this behaviour is ROM related.

1. What ROM are you using?
2. Does whatsapp automatically show notifications with a delay or it only notifies after you open it?
3. Are you using greenify?
4. Is background data restricted for whatsapp?
5. Is privacy guard enabled for whatsapp?

Hi, I had the same problem with gmail, facebook messenger and whatsapp. "Diasable ad blocking" in adaway solved it. I dunno, how. I dunno why.
Is there some way to have adaway block ads and not interfere with gmail/fb messenger/whatsapp?

Verizon MMS won't download

Having issues with download mms. Some apps work like stock and pulse, but others like yaata, mood, etc don't. I can't edit the apn settings in the native settings app, so does anyone have any suggestions?
Are you cdma_less?
If not, then search. There's a hundred messages about it.

Yes.
For me it seems that mms is working in some messaging apps and not others. Signal, for example, cant download mms messages but when i use the default messaging app it seemed to work okay, at least for group messages. SMS works on all and it's been set to CDMA-less

Exactly what I'm dealing with. Yaata, textra and mood doesn't download mms at all and I use yaata so I really wanna know what a fix could be.

Yeah. I'm in the same boat. Everything is work on the OP6T after hours with Verizon and my own investigation. Pulse, stock, Textra, Android Messages, Chomp, Verizon message all work properly (sms/mms send/receive). Yaata and Mood won't download mms. Can't change APN on phone
I tried changing the apn via adb. It didn't save. Also tried editing the apn dB file but that made the phone shut down instantly when you get past the boot animation.
I used to use ChompSMS buy couldn't get MMS messages to download. QKSMS has been working great so far with 0 issues!!!

Just tried Qksms and it works too. Seems only Yaata and Mood won't download mms. Interesting how the most customizable sms apps are the ones that don't work properly. You'd like to think that with all the customization we'd be able to tweak it to get it to work? Sucks because I really liked Yaata; so much that I purchased it back in the early days. And I like Mood too. Wrote to their support so we will see what they say....

I liked chomp because it has a lock screen quick reply. But not getting MMS is kinda dealbreaker.
I just had this issue with ChompSMS. Under Settings > MMS, I changed Carrier Send Limit = 1MB, and MMS Behavior = System. Forced Closed ChompSMS and reopened it. Seems to be working ok so far most of the time.
Just to add to this I'm having the same issue downloading MMS with Signal.
Verizon user here with CDMA-less mode enabled and all that junk!
I'm running into the same issue with my 6T using Chomp. I saw this about 2 weeks ago and fixed the issue by uninstalling Chomp, then clearing the cache on MMSservice, then reinstalling Chomp. I then tested it every which way I could think of sending tests from my wifes phones (whos on ATT). All were received without issue, SMS, MMS, group texts (which send as MMS).
However now just this morning it's popping up again. Considering more than just Chomp is having the issue (based on this thread) it seems to me it's either a Pie issue, or maybe something with OOS. Searching around though I've seen a lot of people have the same issue back after just upgrading to Nougat on various phones. So if i had to guess i'd say it's more an OS level issue with our fav text apps needing a small tweet somewhere.
For reference:
OOS 9.0.7
Rooted
Call record module
Viper module
Having this issue as well. Going to try QKSMS now.
I used to use Cuomo but couldn't get MMS to work and I true everything.
Using qksms and have had 0 issues!!
Hmmm I'm still having issues with QKSMS. I'm trying to dual sim at&t and Verizon but can never never get full functionality. Closest I was able to get was AT&T fully working but only able to send with Verizon. Otherwise it's one working fully and the other not working at all.
Anyone running dual lte?
**edit**
Also, anyone tried Havoc or MIUI?
ChompSMS was updated yesterday. MMS issues still remain though.
I switched over to QKSMS after my initial post and haven't had a problem yet. Although it took a few weeks for it to show up with Chomp as well so I'm still "waiting". So odd that some of you see it constantly, where it takes a couple weeks for it to crop up for me.
Still rocking the same OS and mods as my previous post for reference:
OOS 9.0.7
Rooted
Call record module
Viper module
Working with the ChompSMS dev to get MMS working. His other app Textra seems to be working well with MMS so far.
