What carrier are you on? It's probably because the ROMs you are trying do not include the proper APN settings for your carrier.

I'm on t mobile and it's roms I used to run as my daily driver they started acting up all over a sudden.
my slutty nexus 4!

SMS does not required data plan. MMS does need data so make sure the APN is correct.

Disable voice+ ?
I asked about a similar issue (couldn't send SMS messages) with CM10.2 in a thread earlier today and someone pointed out to me that I needed to disable/freeze the Voice+ app that has been included in recent ROMs if I was in a country where Google Voice didn't work like the UK. After doing this, it was possible to send SMS messages.
In the US it may be necessary to edit its settings to get texts going via the usual SMS route.

Thanx I'll try it out later if it works

Also make sure the "service center" number is correct. It's the number your sms get routed through by T-mobile.

[Q] Picture/MMS Messages Not Working

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently running on a Sprint LG G2 with all of the current profile and PRL updates through Sprint. Since activating this phone, I haven't been able to send or receive MMS, specifically picture, messages. Is anyone else seeing this kind of behavior on Sprint?

Side Note
As a side note, I've noticed this is more prominent when using Google Hangout as the default MMS messaging client. When I switched to the factory "messaging" program, I was able to send photos, but still not receive. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response Steamer! Can the edits you described in that post be performed without rooting the phone? Any rough walk-through/tutorials available to assist in the editing?

My problem is a little bit different.. I can send and receive MMS IF I enable the data plan. If data plan is disable..MMS cant send or receive anything.
Arent MMS supposed to connect to data automatically without us have to manually enable it (data)?

Group messaging problems and getting back replies as individual messages

So I have seen stuff all over the web about this topic, but have yet to find an answer. I am one of the many folks that has a problem with group messaging not working correctly. Here is what I have noticed so far.
If I use my stock messaging app to send a group message, it ALWAYS sends out as a group message.
When using Handcent, sometimes, yes just sometimes, when I send out a group message, it will send to each individual contact in that group message. Most times Handcent works properly though. Then every now and then, it sends all individual messages.
Anybody with an Iphone, or another Sprint Galaxy s4, I have no problems with. Theyre replies always come back as a group text
One friend, who has an android on Verizon, when he replies to the group, I not only get his message as if its just coming from him to me, it is also blank, and I cant read it.
Another friend, has an android, not sure what provider, but his messages can be read, but they also come back to me as individual messages.
Is there a different ROM that will solve this issue? I am using Stock 4.2.2, but it is rooted.
This is really annoying, so I wanted to see if anyone has figured this out yet.

me too
This is very annoying to me too. here's what happens to me.
My s4 is on Tmobile prepaid(has been for years since flexpay)
I use Google Voice for calls n text.
I use the native sms app to send/receive.
I use google voice to send/receive and to start my group messages.
Now my native app is starting to not send long messages, roughly 20 characters or more.
Same for my google voice app since the new yr.
I can send out group messages from my google voice app but the replies come back as individual.
All 1,500+ of my contacts use my google voice number to talk to me.
I dont know if this is related but I use Google voice build 0.2.2.80 and will not update yet.
I've attached my version rom. I've used Jovy xtremeperia rom for yrs and its been the best rom I've used thus far. I jus started having issues a month ago with group messaging. I have not done anything different and I never update apps or my rom unless comments say otherwise.
someone please help us if you know anything. I do not use my regular number so if this issue is google voice related please advise. Thanks in advance

Hangouts not receiving all incoming SMS messages

Recently hangouts has stopped receiving a lot of my incoming SMS messages. I had been using hangouts for a few months with no problems and after flashing a new ROM I stopped receiving all of my messages. I find that they all seem to come through when I use the stock messaging app, or at least I hope they all come through, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling hangouts with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced this before?

i had an issue with MMS. i updated my rom then got 30+ messages that i previously missed at once when i booted with the new rom.

Both SMS and MMS work if they manage to come through. I also tried doing a full wipe and then flashing an update to the ROM I'm using which did not fix the problem.
Could the problem be due to having hangouts replace the stock messaging app through the google apps package that I flashed?

This problem seems fairly common on the Nexus 5 forums. Does anyone know of a workaround other than using the stock messaging app?

I've similar problem to, I sent a text message to my gf and the text she gets its different from what I sent
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm still having this problem. I updated my ROM a while ago and everything seemed to be working perfectly. However, I later tried using hangouts for a video call and got stuck in a continuous call. Upon ending the call by clearing the data for hangouts, I stopped receiving text messages. This was two days ago. I still get texts when I use the default messaging app as my primary SMS app

SMS, MMS over wifi on Verizon

I was wondering if there was a way to get SMS and MMS to work over wifi with any app other than verizon messages. I've been a big user of that since they incorporated individual sounds for contacts. However, their most recent update has made MMS stop working entirely so I've gone back to Messenger for now. But last night I was at a bar with a friend and for whatever reason, inside the building a VZW signal was impossible. Outside the building it was fine....but inside it just dropped out. Wifi worked fine, but I was unable to send or receive any messages. Hangouts I cant remember if it could handle wifi for sms or not...and hangouts is not playing the correct sounds I select for contacts on my 6p.

i'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who used verizon messages that had mms stop working since that latest update. Of course they won't support the Nexus 6p, so I think we're stuck in a waiting game for now.

If you use Google Voice, you can use Hangouts for calls/sms/mms over WiFi or mobile data.

No.. I don't use Google voice. I've had my number far too long to switch to a Google voice number. I like the stock app.... But having the ability to text over wifi was nice with Verizon messages. I had a nasty exchange with their tech support. They kept telling me the same crap. I had to tell them as a nexus owner I'm not a tech idiot. It's on their end and started with their update. Fix it. Of course they continue to tell me it's my fault some setting isn't enabled when it is.

Just to respond to your google voice question. I had a number for almost 14 years. I ported that number over to Google Voice for 20$ one time fee and forwarded my google voice to my cell phone number.

I've been scouring the web for an old version of Verizon Messages and am coming up short. I'm hoping that by installing an old version, it will fix our issues. I'm going to try contacting the developer.

Its available on Amazon App store incase you are wondering.

it is available on apkpure site. You can find many old versions. Just do a quick google search and you should find it.
Search Term: Verizon Messages APK

If I can find my S4 and charge it... I can use apk extractor to grab the old version of my S4 from before my nexus arrived. Also might be on my N7 if that hasn't automatically updated.

Big thanks to chichu_9! Inwas able to get last month's version on apkpure and now mms is working again, over wifi and vzw network. I just can't update the app anymore

Thanks @chichu_9 I got the apk from apk pure and all is working well again. Thanks.

So the Verizon Messages 6.0.2 works over wifi... correct?

yes, that is the version that I rolled back to on my phone and it has been working over wifi. MMS group messages have also been working.

I have 6.02 as well and everything is fine. I received an email from the VZW messages app team and they are aware and "working" on the problem

Adblock plus is blocking mms as of now. Remove it and mms will be back.

I don't have ad block and MMS is still not working on VZW messages. I'm completely stock. It's a problem with the latest update. According to Verizons email they sent me.. "we are aware of the problem and working to correct it"
