Hello guys.
With the basic sms application, I do not get the mms without manually activating the cellular connection. It's annoying, on my previous phones (Meizu, Sony, etc.) and on the phone of people I know (One Plus, ZTE, etc), the datas are activated automatically.
Because of this, I miss some message (long messages that are transformed into mms).
Does anyone have a solution or mod magisk to activate this? Maybe a rom?
Thank you.
yes you let data turn on

Hi!
I use the Cyanogenmod ROM, been using it since the nightlies of the 6.0-version, but one thing has been bothering me..
I don't have a full plan for data; I pay for what I use, so I have data disabled - and enables it whenever I need it.
However, when someone sends me a MMS, my phone recieves it (with a "download now"-button) like it's supposed to do, BUT! There are no way of knowing this. It doesn't notify, no sound, no flash, nothing in the notification area, I have to randomly open the app and suddenly see that I've recieved an unread message from someone..
Anyone else experiencing this? Any settings I've overseen? Thanks in advance!
Poke around in the settings for the messaging app, see what you find It could be that Android only notifies when it's downloaded the message
Thanks for tip, but I've already poked around in the settings :/ Just wondering if it's a bug, or if it's the SMS/MMS-app itself. Thanks for replying, though!
Hmmm. I don't use mms stuff, so I can't be of much more help. Sorry

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)?
Stock Verizon GN3, Stock Message App.
This seems to be a new problem, but whenever I try to send texts with more than 160 characters, it just fails to send. If I reduce the text to 160 or under, it sends just fine. When I first found the problem of it not sending, I pulled the battery and SIM card, and if I remember right, it then did send the long text. But it stopped again shortly after.
I have looked through all the settings, but don't see anything that would automatically split it into 2 texts, or anything else relevant.
Is this an inherent limitation of the Stock Messaging App that I've only just noticed, or something not working right?
I've seen suggestions to switch to Handcent or other App, and I might do this, but would like to get the Stock App to handle this properly if possible.
Thanks.
Any text over 160 characters your phone converts the message to a MMS message that uses your data connection instead of your cell signal like a SMS message..Now I think this is a Verizon thing but if u use wanams xposed module or the other xposed modules that will stop the conversion to MMS and just split the text... that is the only way I know to change it without editing the code....

Thanks for the reply.
If it just converts it to MMS, then it should still just send, and not fail. I understand that it'll use my Data connection, rather than the cell signal, but this shouldn't be a problem: I have Verizon's 3G Network Extender in my home (since my home has poor reception), and I'm sitting right next to it, and a strong WiFi signal available from my ISP, for data.
If this is the case, I still don't understand why it would fail to send, even as an MMS??
Verizon sets up MMS service so that it is only available across a mobile data connection, so your wifi shouldn't be playing a role. And SMS service (which is much older technology than MMS and doesn't use the same "mobile data" link as MMS) also uses the cell radio exclusively.
I use the stock messaging app for texts over 160 characters without a problem (it turns them into MMS as the prior respondent mentioned), but I am on MJ7. Don't know if that makes a difference.
I wonder if it is a bug relating to your use of a network extender? You would know if you got a different result when sending texts > 160 chars when you were on VZW's regular network away from your place.
I recently helped my sister out with a similar set of troubles, and the problem turned out that her (at&t) range extender was hung/frozen.
If that was the case, you would have erratic "trouble" sending any MMS messages. In any event, you should see the "network extender icon" in your notification bar - but it might be useful to verify that you do have a data connection through the extender (turn off WiFi and see if you can still browse).
It won't hurt to power cycle the extender, wait for all it's status lights come up correctly, and then see if that changes anything. (You can send yourself text messages).
Hope that helps.
Try and send yourself or somebody a picture message and report if it goes through fine so we can eliminated any MMS problems..and MMS won't send from wifi...only 3 or 4g

Thanks for the added ideas and suggestions guys. I had wondered if the Network Extender might be mucking things up. I'll explore the various trouble-shooting steps you both suggested, and track it down.
Will re-post if problems persist.
It seems this should not work, but after I subscribed to a data plan for my 2013 Nexus 7 (Android 4.4.4), I was able to receive SMS messages.
They first shows up in the top left status bar, as an envelope icon, and with the first part of the message displayed, and when I expand the left drop-down menu and click on the message, it brings up the full dialog. Once I click on the "Done" button, it disappears forever. The whole thing seems to be driven by the "Simple message receiver" (see attached screenshot).
I did not mod the device in any way (well, I did enable root). I did install Pinger and some other apps to be able to talk and text via Internet (Wifi only so far), but since I got my data plan, I can receive messages without problems (even two-step authorizations from Google — which never went through on the other apps).
So, it seems the SMS capability is still there, and all those fancy workarounds that are being talked about around here are not really needed, or am I missing something? And if so, what else do I need to save the received messages, and to send my own?
The device was bought, new and unlocked, in the Czech Republic, and is now being used in Canada on a pure data plan on Fido (fido.ca/web/content/monthly/ipad_plans).
As far as I know it is completely normal for a tablet to be able to receive texts.
For example, here in Germany your provider sends you a text message once you get close to reaching the limit of your data plan. They couldn't send you that message of your device can't receive texts.
Whether you are able to send texts also depends on the contract with your provider. For example, the provider that I work for offers data plans that are for data only. You can't send texts or make calls with the card, even if your device would support it.
Google threatened to remove this functionality from nexus tablets, but then probably received some suggestions from network operators (banks), as they are using same mobile network connection to send pins or authentication passwords, billing info and other information to devices, using device's mobile number via SMS.
So seems - they had to put it back.
Yeah, the information I found was a bit contradictory (especially with the different builds, models, and Android versions), so I guess basic receiving may be available on all.
So, with that in mind, I did install the Xposed SMS module, and I now have full SMS functionality (notifications, sending, receiving, and records of previous conversations).
I have currently a Rooted Nexus 6P and using Google Messenger as my default messaging app. I used textra for a long time for the feature that recognizes when an MMS is being received or sent and automatically toggles the data for you. I miss that feature a lot but I don't seem to find an option for that neither in tasker nor any application that does that work for me. I'm very tired of having to toggle the data whenever I receive or send an MMS. I know there's some security issues involved but since I'm rooted I guess there's more chance of a possibility in my case. Please help.
