I am using Textra on my SGS4 and have been for a while now...
I have not had a problem receiving MMS until now. All of the sudden I get a message that I can't download a picture on Textra and when I do receive it, it is a blank black square and I can't even see it.
I have images auto-download to my Downloads folder and it shows up fine but when I tap it to open the photo, it shows a broken image.
All of the people I get MMS from are iPhone users. I finally had them send it to my on email and the image came to be over 2MB.
I have also tried default sms app, Hangouts, and Hello sms to see if it was just Textra, it's not..
APN checks out normal for AT&T, rooted, 4.2.2, I377UCUAMF3
(I also went to AT&T to see if they could do something about it but as soon as I told them I rooted they told me to basically leave... Nice)
Let me know if you need any more information to help get this solved.
Thanks!
I'd check for any MMS settings in textra. I know EvolveSMS had an option to intercept MMS and not let it go to the stock messenger and it never worked. Also try turning off auto download if it's on, since that can cause issues too.

Been having this issue on and off for awhile I believe it started before I rooted and still is happening on and off. About 50 percent of the time when someone send me a text with a pic I get a broken image like the image is broken and then sometime it comes through fine. It is getting pretty annoying and being the fact that the main phone im receiving pics from is another lg g2 on the verzion network, my phone is on the att network currently running cyanogenmod 11 04/27 version, I also add this issue on the stock software and a few other roms. Also when I send a youtube video now it sends in two separate texts causing the link to be corrupted.
I have had the same problems with my G2. I never knew when it would work or not. I seemed to have permanently fixed it by downloading a 3rd party sms app to replace the stock lg messages. I settled on chomp sms but I had to play around with a few other apps.
Next I set my mms max file size to 300k ....sending and receiving through chomp sms so far has been perfect. Not one failed send or receive.
I have looked all over for a stock messages app that will do the same.

I like the way chomp looks so im going to try that, so you set your mms to 300kb? My is set up at 600kb by default. Ill try 300

Yeah it was the least intrusive. Default is 600 and I tried that but I would still miss receiving MMS and also I couldn't send. 300 would always work. It may be because I use an att mvno hence the crappy service.
Play around with the settings though. Hopefully something will work for you as it has for me.
Initial Notes:
Using a rooted Verizon S5 with stock KitKat ROM (NK2), but this problem also persisted on a rooted Lollipop ROM (OA8).
This problem persists on the stock messaging app as well as all messaging apps I have downloaded from the Play Store so it seems to be an issue with the phone itself. I'm currently using Chomp.
------------------------------------------------------
Problem:
For the longest time, my MMS messages would come and go at what seemed to be the most random times, but I've finally come to notice that the only way I can get an MMS (including group texts) to send or receive is if I send more than 1 at a time.
For example, if I try to send my wife a single pic, it will hang indefinitely, literally for days sometimes. However, if I send another pic to ANYONE (including myself), the pic that was 'stuck' waiting to send to my wife will then finally send.
Also, if I long-press the stuck outgoing MMS, and choose 'resend' it will usually send, but then the recipient also gets 2 copies.
I've also noticed that when the stuck MMS finally does send, I frequently RECEIVE multiple pics or group messages from friends who sent them long ago. It's as if successfully sending an MMS from my phone has somehow unlocked a stuck setting somewhere in the network, which then allows all existing MMS to send/receive.
Also, I've noticed that if I attempt to send 3 pic messages, sometimes only 2 will actually go through. If I want to send the 3rd, I have to generate a 4th pic message also to any recipient. I've gotten to the point where I just decide in order to make MMS work, I have to do one of the following:
- Send 2 pics to the intended recipient
- Send 1 pic to recipient, and then forward that same message to myself.
- Send 1 pic to recipient, and then also forward it to someone else.
So I have come to learn that I do have a work-around of sorts, but it's incredibly inconvenient, and just flat-out weird to me. So it's obvious my MMS can work on this phone, but why do I have to send them in pairs?

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.

Has he acknowledged there is a bug or are you guys still gathering data?
Hey there,
I have an Unlocked Verizon HTC 10 running Viper10 5.11
I've been loving the phone and Viper10, but I must have overlooked something or maybe there was a glitch somewhere because I can't send MMS messages, and I'm pretty sure I haven't been able to since the beginning of using the phone (I immediately installed Viper10 after buying, never used it stock).
So my problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with is that I can't send MMS messages at all. If it helps, I installed Viper10 without the stock Messenger app, and I use Handcent for all texting. I'm using the default settings in Handcent for sending MMS which auto-downscales images to be 1MB if they are larger. But it fails to send anything over MMS regardless of size (it even fails to send pics/audio <100kb).
In trying to research the problem on my own, I've read that the issue might be related to some, any, or none of the following: Preferred Network, Network Preference, wrong APN settings, or incorrect firmware version for my setup.
So I'm a bit unclear on how to proceed. I'm hoping I can fix this without reinstalling Viper10 but if it comes to that I will.
I've attached screenshots that might be helpful. And I'm happy to provide more if it helps. I'm sure someone here knows how to get me in the right direction. Thanks!
