Hi,
I saw many topics about this, but still haven't been able to fix it on my phone. The only app that seems to work with MMS (sending or receiving) that I've tried is Samsung Messages. I've tried Textra and Android Messages (google), neither work. I've been on and off trying to get them to work since I got the phone in April, to no avail or luck. I can't even get the MMS to work when I disable WiFi, so I'm not sure what is going on. My carrier is Verizon. I've also tried setting the MMS mode to Legacy (from the default of System), but that didn't help.
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? One thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Samsung Messages (or disabling it via BK Disabler) as I'd prefer to not lose all my chat history. I'm not looking for other texting apps, would like to use Google's or Textra over Samsung's.
Thanks in advance!
Check out screen shot. A couple of bucks for premium features. This is my SMS app for my S8+ and Pixel XL.

Just tried, also not working for MMS. Texting works. Not receiving or sending MMS, whether on Legacy or System for the MMS APN type.
Something is definitely blocking other apps from working.
Sorry, it's work perfect at my S8+. Don't now who to help you.

Tried resetting network settings, cleared system cache, disabling Samsung Messages (+ service worker), rebooting, still doesn't work. :/ I'm starting to think it's an issue specific to being on Verizon's network. Could it be something on their end that I need to call in about?

Hi,
I've recently been having an issue with Textplus consuming a lot of battery power on my Nexus 4 (pics attached at the end). I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 while having the issue, then installed CM11 on hells-core, hoping a reformat and reinstall during the process would fix the issue.
Is this normal for Textplus on 4.4.2? I'm definitely not using it more than other apps, but I do use it for both regular and free texts. It stays in the background, and I send texts a few times a day.
I'm also unable to mark regular texts in Textplus as read, and in my phone's settings the app can't be marked as the default SMS app. To mark texts as read I need to run hangouts.
I would like to continue using this app, but as it stands it doesn't seem worth it. Does anyone here have a similar issue with the app?

Looks like you need to get another similar app. Try sending an email to the developer and/or check their website to see if they have a support page.

Thank you, I just sent them an email with the issue. Also @jd1639, I was thinking it had to do with location requests, I'll download that and let you know.
I intentionally turn off OK Google detection so my phone is doing one less thing, but it still is working and the options are disabled. I've only recently started to notice this. Tried to enable and disable the options again... no joy.

This may be painfully obvious, and I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all, but:
Have you tried saying OK Google to see if it's actually working? How about just removing the widget from your home screen and replacing it with one that isn't voice activated? Or perhaps both..

Yes, it does work when saying OK Google. Also, would removing it prevent the mechanism on the backend that's listening from working also? Or would the service still be running?
I know that when I removed it, there didn't seem to be any listening going on. I think it uses this process in Maps as well as a couple other GApps, so after removing it you can try it in there/disable it in there as well. If you have root, you can always freeze it with TB. I completely removed it from my phone, so I don't have it to play with to try to find these things out. That's always the first thing I do, so I know very little about tinkering with system apps without root.
You can enable OK Google in settings.
try disabling your google account in settings.
My wife owns a S7 Edge. She loves the device and edge features. Problem is, she receives notifications within the edge panel that won't go away. I've done everything short of a factory reset to no avail. The app in question is Google messenger. Any help would be appreciated.

Does she have a notification on the regular app icon too(not the one in the edge panel)? I sometimes have a lingering notification on the Google Messenger icon, haven't figured out much to do about it. But sometimes i just go thru and open my message threads one by one, just to ensure that I have indeed read all the messages lol. Sometimes that fixes it because maybe there was a message that I actually never officially read. Or even if i did read them all, just opening the threads sometimes makes the notification go away.

No. Only in the edge panel. Not only have I opened every message thread, I've deleted them, cleared its cache, uninstall and reinstalled. I've even cleared the edge panel cache and data. As a last resort, I cleared the device's cache through recovery (stock). Nothing seems to work.
By the way, I'm running 7.0 nougat official

Beating my brain. I have noticed when I receive a lengthy text message it does not show the entire message. It gives me the option to "view all". I have searched the forums and the phone and can't seem to find an option to show the entire text. Is this just and At&t thing or Samsung?

Thank you all for the quick replies ☺

But if the other person isn't using Hangouts then it still is horrible

Facebook app does it as well. Most people have it because Facebook forces it via mobile IF you want to message people..
Yaata
Textra
Pulse
Are all amazing texting apps!
Yaata is the most customizable...And my favorite - also has chat-heads, but Android O won't support chat-heads, as of now - But we still have about a year on that.
Textra is the easiest and looks GREAT, and it's been around for a long time (at least since my S3 days, probably longer). Maybe a little smoother than Yaata, but not as many options.
Pulse is new (ish), but seems to have great features.
Facebook messenger is my go to default for sms. Mostly because of the chat heads and integration with all my FB messages
If you use Google photo you can create a link to your video in Google photo then share the link on stock messaging app with a few simple key strokes . Simple for me since I don't need all the bells and whistles from other message apps, nor do I care to familiarize myself with a new message app.
Anyone have RCS on Android Messages on their unlocked OP6T? I have yet to see it on mine. I have Straight Talk through ATT. My parents have Moto G5 plus on the same service and they both have RCS for Android Messages. It's still telling me it's unavailable for my device.

Funny thing is the day that I posted this, I ended up getting a bug fix update and now I have the RCS chat features. My friend didn't have them though the other day, so I don't know if it's a slow roll or something. I still have yet to get gmail dark mode.

Did you receive an update to the phone? Or an update to the app?
I'm on T-Mobile, but converted the phone to international. I don't have it on mine either.
It's working fine on my phone. Carrier is Deutsche Telekom in Germany. Though I've got nobody to chat with via RCS. [emoji23] I'm wondeing if this is going to change anytime soon.
It says "State: Connected" on the screenshot.
