Hi,
I have installed Gboard and Google Android Messages. As soon as that,
delivery reports for text messages stopped coming.
When I was using stock Samsung Messages and Samsung keyboard
it was working fine.
I have uninstalled Gboard and Android Messages, rebooted and cleared
Samsung Messages data/cache, but it's still not working.
The funny thing is that for MMS it works fine.
Yes, I have everything enabled in Messages settings.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try enabling delivery reports in the Message settings?

Those features will only work with stock messaging app as it's a rcs feature designed solely for it.
Sprint is the only carrier that supports rcs for Android messages as of the moment. The rest of the carriers use a proprietary system that only works on that carrier.
So, it should not give delivery reports unless the person you are texting is on the same carrier. Verify that is the case. Then clear system cache if it still isn't working
I'm currently using stock Samsung messaging app and this problem has nothing to do with RCS.
Delivery reports should work for plain sms/text.

Fixed - appears to be carrier issue
Pls close thread.
Thx.

This one has me scratching my head looking for answers. I noticed this problem a while ago where my friends MMS sent from iPhones were not appearing on my Messages, I have the option for "fetch MMS automatically" and all I get is the little cloud but its blank, it only shows the time it was received, I've also tried disabling the fetch MMS automatically and even when downloading them it shows me the blank cloud. The doozy comes when I tried using Hangouts just to see what it was and to my surprise I could see all my SMS and MMS conversations from my contacts and all the pictures from the iPhone contacts were shown via Hangouts but they do not show on the stock Messages app.
Things I've tried:
1) Googling for answers only resulted in fanboyism comments and speculations that led to more fanboyism.
2) At first I tried contacting my carrier and they made me reset the APN settings to default, which I did and it was after that that I realized that it was only the iPhone MMS messages that weren't being received.
3) Tried disabling the Hangouts services via the Apps option on the settings menu. Restarted phone and still wouldn't work.
4) Been restarting my phone with each setting I change to see if it helps but no.
5) Been bugging my friends to send me MMS from their iPhones and one did get through but nothing more after that.
6) Made sure their iPhones had the setting of "Send MMS when iChat isn't available" enabled.
7) Made sure my old iPhone account was signed out of my old iPhone 4 so I wasn't receiving anymore iMessages.
I'm speculating that I either need to call my carrier again which is Claro PR and explain the situation to see if it helps, or maybe go to a store. Also, I've been thinking about Rooting my phone so I can uninstall some of the bloat, which included Hangouts but don't want to go down that path yet and I don't know if it would really help anything since I already tried disabling the service via the Apps options.
Please help me figure this out, I love this phone but this thing is bugging the hell out of me.
I have had problems with mms on hangouts and the stock app on Sprint doesn't support group mms. I have been using Go sms pro and everything works fine, including iPhone mms messages.
Hope that helps.

Hmm... interesting a replacement messaging app, I would definitely keep this in mind so thanks a lot for the suggestion. I rather use the stock apps while I'm getting used to the phone since this is my first Android device but will definitely use this if resetting to factory defaults doesn't help my problem.
*Edit*
Any other suggestions for my problem are welcomed.
LG didn't enable MMS group messaging on stock messages. My HTC One and S4 had the option in settings to enable it...LG left it out. If you haven't heard, TEXTRA is one of the best, fastest, light weight messaging apps that can handle iPhone group messages without the bloat on go sms and handcent. Look it up on the playstore...ratings are great and all my Android friends use it now. I've yet ran into any issues with group texting.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I've looked up Textra and seems like a nice alternative and has a very clean interface, I'm currently using Hangouts from Google without a problem but would have preferred the stock message app. It's weird because I went to my carrier and they did some test and everything was fine, turns out its only MMS sent from iPhones that won't show through the Message app from G2. Maybe I should try emailing them to see if I can get some answers?
Yea only the Verizon variant supports group messages. I posted a thread about this in the Themes and Apps forum. Could be the cause.
All my friends group text me all the time and send MMS using the Verizon version Messaging app and hangouts. The stock messaging app world best though.

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
In case anyone else was experiencing the same issues I had with my S8+....I was unable to send/receive MMS when I initially registered the phone. Realized it was because I was using a private messaging app such as Signal/Whisper on my Note 5. I installed another 3rd party application such as WhatsApp, disconnected Wifi, Restarted my device, and then sent a few test MMS messages. After doing this I selected "Samsung Messages" as my default messaging app again and MMS messages began to work once again.
Yeah I had this problem, I'm coming from a Nexus 6, so I was used to Android Messages app by Google. None of the MMS messages would come through and would just say it failed to download. I was forced to switch it to Samsung Messages and now I get them.
Still wondering if there's a fix for this.

Have you tried switching back to your previous preferred messaging app since you started receiving them on Samsung Messages?

Yes, that's what I did right after I received them on Samsung Messages. The old mms messages showed up, but I didn't receive any new mms. Had to switch back again.
Having the same issue, couldn't find any fixes yet.
same issue here with Google message.. Its the wifi.. Turn it off and mms will work.
Fixed......I had disabled Verizon Messages. I re-enabled VM and updated the app. Then just opened Android Messages and enabled that as default. MMS is now working.
Simply updating Android Messages fixes this issue. V2.2.067
Thanks I had to find the apk cause the store didn't push it out yet. Works over wifi now with that 2.2.067
Possible issue
I have the Galaxy s8 using Google's 'messages' app. I noticed when the phone is idle for a certain time, it starts shutting off certain functions to save power. I've witnessed my phone resuming from sleep and seeing wifi being turned on and reconnected to. I believe it does the same thing with data. What I think the issue is, is that when the phone is woken up, it's not connecting data back to the part of the messaging app that needs it to download MMS messages. Possible temporary fix, just shut off your data for 30 seconds and turn it back on.
Edit: That only works some times. I really don't know how to fix this. It stopped receiving MMS while I was still using my phone.
Hello All!
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and im all out of ideas of what to do.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Wearable: S3 Rugged
Extra Service: DIGITS
Coming From: LGV20 which never had these issues with the same plans and accesories
So to start, when i got the phone inittially during setup of the google accounts i noticed that my OTP SMS Pushes were not being received, or auto filling the information. I skipped past all of that and noticed that anywhere that OTP text were suppose to autofill in different applications, it would not even when i received the text and got a notification.
So after a while of using TEXTRA which was working fine, one day i stopped receiving ALL text not just mms. I was able to send but never was I able to get anything from anyone. I ditched TEXTRA and went back to the stock Samsung app and noticed that all text were there, even though it was not default. After using the Samsung messages app i decided to go back to textra, heres whats funny. After Textra did it's initial setup, it only showed half of the recieved text from up to that day. Messages were incomplete, some just had one reply from a user and nothing else. So I also tried this with Android Messages and it had the EXACT same message log as textra. Both were not receiving the full logs from the server. Today Android Messaging was working for a good part of the day, then it just stopped all of sudden again.
Can someone help me with this, I've wiped the cache and factory reset the phone. Ive added and removed the multi-line settings in the samsung settings. I've tried the legacy settings on textra. I've called the DIGIT's customer service to see if they could fix it but they made and interesting point that it couldnt be digit because it wouldnt interfere with 3rd part messaging apps. When i switch apps i always make them default, i wipe the app cache etc.
I have a gut feeling this has something to do with something with the default Samsung Messages app and it somehow restricting use outside of it.
I just wanted to reply and say that I've been experiencing the exact same issue and haven't had any luck Google engineering my way around it. For me, I'm seeing the issue with Signal, so I don't believe it's the 3rd party app's problem. I can send messages (SMS/MMS), but the Samsung Messages app is the only one that "receives" them. A strange workaround I found was to download Android Messenger, set that as the default messaging app, then set Signal as the default messaging app again. This worked for a while, but I think the Samsung Messages app recently updated, and it broke this again until I repeated the above workaround.
It's annoying enough that, without a fix, I'll definitely be flashing a completely stripped ROM on this phone once we have the ability to do so to get away from all of the Samsung apps that I can't disable. And don't even get me started on Bixby...

I haven't had any issues with my At&t model...Been using Yaata since day one (about 2 months).
Also, there are some "package disabling" apps in the play store that will allow you to disable any app you want, you don't even need to be rooted. It cost me $1.99 (or around there), but was well worth it! You can even completely disable Bixby, so the button is even non-responsive.
Having the same issue and I may have fixed it. I logged completely out of Digits on the phone (settings/cloud accounts/multi line/hit the ... menu and choose log out.
I have this same issue. No matter which 3rd party SMS app I use I have missing text messages on the T-Mobile S8. Has anyone fixed this? It is driving me crazy. T-Mobile replaced my S8 and the new one does it (not as bad but it does it more than I'd like). How can I resolve this? My friend haf the same issue, he has an unlocked T-Mobile working on AT&T.
I don't use Digits or anything like that... any ideas?
hi guys
all you need to do
go to setings
device maintence
battery
scrool all the way down to unmonitored apps and add your 3rd party sms app
youre welcome
This still didn't work for me and I am having the same exact issues. I have tried installing 2 different 3rd party messaging (Textra and Mood) and both were not working properly. I can send messages out just fine but when I receive them they are delayed (like 5 minutes or longer). Sometimes, I don't get the messages at all. Of course, the Samsung Messaging app (which I hate) works just fine. I have even "Force Stopped" it! What to do?
go into the stock messaging app, and turn off advanced messaging
Has anyone found a solution? I've been using textra for years & suddenly in March I started having this problem but with sent messages. All incoming texts are displayed but my sent texts aren't. I did try the 2 suggestions above. On a note 8, Android 8.0.0,Samsung experience 9.0.
SOLVED. I had the same issues and found the solution. Before you install your 3rd party sms/MMS you need to disable the default messenger. I uninstalled signal, disabled the built-in messenger, reinstalled signal. Now I can receive texts. Also my phone is not a Samsung.
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...
