Verify you APN settings...
I think there's a reset network settings button... Try that...
Otherwise... Try clearing data for messages...
And when all else fails... Factory reset and try again...
You could also try the Oreo Beta 3... That has a Sprint messaging fix

What should the correct APN settings be for Sprint?

Are you by chance using Ad Block? If so, that is most likely your issue. Try removing it and search for Ad-away. That seems to work fine without the annoying mms issue.

SMS Issues Over LTE

Hey everyone, did a quick search via here and google, but couldn't come up with a definitive answer. I'm having an issue with text messages when I reboot. I'm currently using T-mobile on this phone, and the apn settings posting on here. After a reboot, I can't send text messages, but can receive them. Voice and data works fine. The only issue I get is when sending texts. I found a workaround for this, switching the phone from Global to GSM/UMTS, then back to Global mode and it works fine. Does this sound like an APN setting problem? Or is it something else? Thanks.

Which update caused this issue? Or you are having this issue on the stock NCG 4.4.2?

MMS only working in Messenger

Hi, so I recently picked up this 6P, but I'm having a problem with MMS. I have been using EvolveSMS for quite some time, but MMS messages aren't working. They work perfectly in Messenger though.
I've tried other apps, like Message+ and Textra, none of which work either.
I'm on Verizon's service and have tried using just wifi as well.
Anyone else have similar issues or know what might be wrong?
Thanks !

Nevermind.. I got it!
Apparently the other text apps weren't using the APN settings from the device and I had to set them manually. Never had that happen on a device before, odd.
Which APN setting did you use? Which carrier?

Verizon. In EvolveSMS there was actually a "System Controlled MMS" setting under the APN settings. That picked up the APN settings from the phone.
I hadn't thought to look there initially since that wasn't an option in EvolveSMS on my old phone.
I didn't bother trying in Message+ or Textra since I don't use them.

Textra as default SMS app, Messaging app randomly receiving texts

Has anyone seen this behavior on the V20? I have Textra set as the default SMS app and randomly, I get a notification from the Messaging app that I have a new text or MMS. The odd thing is that those messages won't show up in Textra, only in Messaging.
So far it seems to be with 1 contact, my brother who is on T-Mobile using an S6. I deleted my convo in Messaging with him when this happened yesterday and deleted his convo with me on his phone and it was fine. Just now, I got an MMS from him and happened again. Seems odd...
Anyone else?

I tried that right after I posted, actually. Seeing if it happens again.
How can I get textra to show on second screen
Will Textra send via WiFi? I have not tried the app yet.
Thanks
I'm not seeing this behavior yet. However, Textra and the Messaging app aren't showing any of my contacts. I keep syncing them, and they show up in the Contacts app, but it's like the Textra/messaging app doesn't have access to them or something.
Edit: Reboot helped.

I'm having this issue as well, so I just went back to the stock messaging app.

Same thing. Have you been able to fix it? I'm about to delete Textra, force stop stock app, then reinstall Textra to see if it will start working properly. I noticed that it happens to only one person in my contact list, extremely odd.
Just in case anyone else is having this issue I seemed to have found a fix. Go to settings then apps. Select the native messaging app. Revoke permissions, block notifications, switch "message app" to No, switch draw over other apps to No. Delete Textra, restart phone, reinstall Textra, & set Textra as default app (simply go into Textra & begin to use it, it will ask if you want to make it the default). This should hopefully fix any issues anyone might be having.

THX,I'll give that a shot (not sure if I'm actually having issues,but,incoming texts seem to be coming in later than they should).
And BTW...............
:good: WELCOME TO XDA DEVELOPERS ! :good:
EDIT: @Kief_haring
After following the steps you listed,the stock messaging app settings (permissions/notifications) reverted back to enabled.
The message app & draw-over other apps settings remained off (no).
There's some MMS settings within the Textra app that are T-Mobile specific,may need to have some trial & error to get things just right,YMMV.

You have to make sure you don't open the native app after setting everything to off. Maybe just set them all to off, delete Textra then reinstall. Don't restart phone as that may be what is enabling the native messaging app settings. I have T-Mobile as well. I enable the T-Mobile MMS over wifi option to on within Textra. Let me know if this works out, if not I'll try to troubleshoot the issue a bit more.
Also thanks for the warm welcome! I've been lurking on this site for over 10 years, just never made an account. Figured it was about time to give some input & ask questions for myself as well. Love this community & want to give back as much as I have taken from it.

T Mobile wifi fix. Apologies for not being more clear about that. When you set that you can actually see wifi shut off & 4G take over when sending an MMS. Never have trouble sending a picture after setting that up.

Also with MMS Behavior, Legacy seems to be working well on the V20. Haven't had to even think about switching to System MMS.

I leave the off on mine and have not had any issues sending MMS.
Wish that Textra supported the second screen and that is where the notifications appeared.

I'll have to try and leave it off... With the N6P it always had to be on.
None of the above worked for me. The one or two peoples messages that were going into the stock app just stopped coming in completely.
Any other ideas?

3rd party messenger apps can't send/receive MMS

Anyone also have this problem, I can't send/receive MMS with 3rd party messenger apps like Google messenger, has anyone else encountered this or found a fix?
Check the app permissions?
Checked all permissions, everything looks good but can't send/receive mms messages, I can send SMS messages
Yes!
I've been trying to track this since yesterday. I lost it somewhere between all the flashing and customizing of EU ROM.
It definitely did work on Chinese official.
I can send SMS and MMS from 3rd party, but I can only receive SMS in it.
The incoming MMS are disappearing into thin air, that is as long as 3rd party app is handling SMS as default.
With all hair ripped out of my skull, I'm getting ready to wipe again.
Which ROM are you on ?

Have you doubled checked your APN settings ? Could be as simple as that (hopefully) . Ive had similar issues with my Oneplus2 before i changed my settings and everything worked fine.

Damn, just made a thread for this too.
I can't send or receive MMS...I am on the Stock Chinese ROM...
I was never able to send/receive MMS on the Chinese official stable rom, and now that I'm on Lithium EU rom it still doesn't work. I have checked APN settings several times, and allowed all permissions but something is preventing MMS for sending/receiving.
I had some MMS wonkiness too several months ago with mi Mi Max (since then upgraded to Mix). I tried quite a few MMS apps, finding Textra handling all my messages, including images, just fine. I've stayed with it since and it's worked great, no issues or lost messages/images.
It is ROM dependent. Some of the ROM's do not work well because of a conflict on the locale setting vs the APN
Same problem.
Material messaging works perfect though. I guess because it has the ability to input custom APN settings
I'm having a similar problem with the google dialer. It won't list call history even though it has full permission. I've tried disabling and removing stock dialer to no effect.
me 2...
I cannot use the google messenger to send mms either. I am on 6.12.22 global rom. I tried setting all sorts of permission, won't send. I tried the Mi Mix's built in texting app, works.. hmmm...
Try
Settings -> Installed Apps -> Defaults -> Messaging -> switch to your app or switch to the xiaomi messenger app and then switch back to your app.
I had this issue with my Mix. It turned out that setting my phone to Norwegian did this when using Ice.net provider. Using English solved it, but I ended up changing provider and now it works fine with Norwegian.
