Anyone else receiving this error when getting MMS from iPhones?
"one or more of the message components deleted by MMS adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for you terminal."

what are they sending? pics with audio? my gf has a iphone and I get her pics but thats all she sends is pics..she has never sent me a pic/audio etc before so that may be the issue.

I got a weird error message on my first mms also, and the pic for some reason came in almost like it was a 5 second video instead of a picture.

That's how the stock Android messaging app does MMS for some reason.. a 5 second video.
You should download GOSMS, very good replacement text messaging app.

No just pics no audio. Its a hit or miss with the MMS. Some will come through and some will show me that message.I even switched out my phone thinking it may have just been a faulty phone...I was incorrect.I'm surprised nobody else is having this issue.

I am having the same problem, anyone else?

I have figured out that its screenshots that come from an IPhone

This started happening to me today. I didn't change anything on the phone. All of a sudden I'm getting this for the majority of MMSes coming in from iPhones. Sometimes the pictures work, most of the time they do not. I have no trouble sending to them, they can see everything I've sent except for .3gp videos and sound formats iPhone doesn't support.
This is becoming really frustrating, and AT&T's tech support line is closed. :|

is there any way to stop that goofy feature, where if someone sends me one picture it comes to me as a 5sec slideshow, which doesn't allow me to zoom in on the picture at all. Or if they send me a series of pictures those also come in as a grouped together slideshow. I want it to just give me clickable single pictures that open in the gallery and let me view them full screen and be able to zoom in and out.

My girl has a 4s i kept getting a mms from unknown sender message constantly when she sent pics (no not naked ones) i downloaded handcent SMS set up as my default messagr and now it works like a charm plus has more custom options.

Pics in text msg. Come in as video. Can this be changed so it's a pic?

When I get a text with a picture, it plays as a video. Can someone help with this. Not sure how to make it just a pic. Thanks

Same happens to me. I have been able to save the picture sometimes.
But I would love to know how i can change this so i receive it as a picture.
Yeah. It's driving me nuts. Not sure how to fix this. I even tried other apn settings but no difference.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
I dont think its the APN settings because I it happened on my GS2 as well.
Very unusual, maybe its the way Samsung's messaging application shows mms?
Is there anyone who doesnt have this issue?
I havnt re-checked after reading this (I'm lazy) but i was pretty sure it IS a picture but viewed as a slide show for a few seconds, and therefore has a timed progress bar like a video...
My old non-smart phones were the same...

U have to wait for further update from Samsung. Maybe they change that in jellybean. Otherwise you can use Go sms app. Download it from Play store for free.

[Q] What SMS app do you use?

I've settled on Handcent for now, but I've been wondering what some of you guys are using. I've tried a couple others, but Handcent just seems fluid and is constantly updated and supported. Lots of themes and tools to utilize, if that's your thing.
Also, in addition to what SMS app you're using, is there an SMS app that will allow "reply to all" natively? I get group texts from iPhone users and when I reply it only goes to the person that sent the message to me.

I've been using Handcent since I moved to Android(always had dumb phones before)roughly three years ago. I like the set up,customizations and how smooth it operates. I also like that the app has strong support, although I'm sure that they all do.
Am I the only one who likes stock apps? Such as stock sms+keyboard? Sheesh. :x

Since I started with Swiftkey for a keyboard app, I NEVER could go back to stock on any phone (or tablet) - It ruined me for anything less!
And there are some stock SMS apps I like and have used. In fact I like the one on the OG and I seriously considered sticking with it, but I switched to Handscent for purely vanity reasons. I like to put a "signature" on my texts and the stock SMS won't let me do that. I do use the stock e-mail app, however!
+1 for SMS Popup. Also the Cyanogenmod version of the stock keyboard since it has a dark theme. Haven't tried it on the LGOG yet because I haven't gotten mine, but I imagine it will work.
Well, since the stock app has a reply to all feature, I'm just running that now. Handcent had some cool stuff, but all these group texts are killing me.
I can't believe Handcent doesn't have reply to all at this point.

I've used Swiftkey and Hancent before and I've always switched back to Stock.
Well, I used them on my Inspire 4g. But I ran other ROMs so I guess the keyboards were never exactly "stock"...
Meh! I can do without. The LGOG's stock is nice, for my preference anyway.
Am I the only one using go SMS pro? Lol.

And you're 100% positive that handcent is not Chinese or otherwise related to anything Asian? I don't see anywhere on their site stating that they're local, or European. And what proof do you have that they steal your info and sells them?
I don't find go SMS a resource hog at all actually so I don't know about that either.

Many third party SMS app comes with added features that aren't available on stock apps. For me, go SMS pro has two features that I don't see in other SMS apps yet, unless they're addons, and those are inter grated lock screen for the app itself and a private chest to store all your texts that u don't want ppl to see. It has screen popup notifications too so uh don't have to constantly access your SMS app to read or reply texts but I think handcent has the same feature.

I like Handcent for some of the features to customize and privacy aspects. Different backgrounds to choose from and privacy inbox to off load or keep texts in through their storage.
The stock is okay, but unless I've missed something it's fairly limited and bland as far as options.
I use go pro sms...haha....it works pretty well too!

I also use Go SMS. It's the only one I tried that allows me to use group messaging properly.

I always used the stock SMS app, never felt comfortable with anything else. I like the simplicity. Swiftkey keyboard plus the stock app= perfect minimalistic experience.
I use the stock sms and then either Swype or Swiftkey flow.
Sent from my UNLOCKED LG-E970 using xda premium
I'd live to use the stock app if only it has security integration. Just cuz the phone is locked doesn't mean ppl can't get into your phone and then read the text messages. Its an added layer of security.
Another advantage of go SMS pro (not sure if handcent has a similar feature) is that if u never delete your text messages and have literally thousands n thousands of text messages within a single contact, go SMS truncates the chain of conversations to the latest ones n if u scroll up, u can click show more messages to view older ones. This speeds up loading time when going into a conversation. Whereas in the stock app, it can take sometimes 5 or more seconds of delay since its trying to load all the old texts.
For example, my conversation with my gf has never been deleted lately, resulting in nearly 10,000 texts between the both of us. When I open our conversation in go SMS pro, it works fine. But using the stock app can take nearly 10-15 seconds n it sometimes even crash and freeze. So yeah, it can make a difference.

Group Messaging

Hi Guys!
I hate the stock messaging app so I use GoSMS Pro for my texting. The problem is, whenever I get a group message, the app lags like crazy and if i get 3-4 group messages at a time, the phone becomes unusable. Is there another app that can group message effectively. I don't want an app that recieves group messages but then when it sends the message to the people in the group, they get it outside of the group message. Thanks!
I've seen others complaining, but I have no problems. I use GoSMSPro and in the pop up group messages come up as a picture and I have to open the app to see it, but no issues other than that slight inconvenience.
When I get a group message the phone actually goes through a two step process.
First, it tells me that I've received a picture from the contact that sent the group message. If you click on that message, it takes you to your individual chat with that person, which is very laggy.
Second, it combines that message with the group message, tells you that you've recieved yet another text, and then takes you to the group text, which takes 10-15 seconds to appear. If during that process, another group message has been sent by anyone else in the group text, the app more or less locks up and doesn't work at all for about 30 seconds.
Go dev apps are known to be slow and buggy. It was weird for me as well. I would recommend not using anything by them. There is an app of the playstore that is 99% the AOSP messaging app if you are interested.
What's the name of the app?

*Kind of fixed* Is no one else besides me noticing the small MMS pictures?!

So after using my phone for a while I noticed my pictures coming in at a rather disappointing quality and size. My phone sends them perfectly fine, but when receiving them, they come in at under 300kb . No matter who sends me the pictures, it always happens. So today i sent a picture to a friend with an att inspire, he received it at 379kb. I then sent the same picture to my phone and i receive it at 139 kb!!!! WTF!!! I have checked all my settings and everything is at 1000kb . I dont get it!!! Anyone else noticing this problem?
Somewhat of a fix!
Not sure if its a fix, but it fixed my situation. I was a faithful user of Handcent for my sms/mms duties, but then i realized....it was making matters worse than better. It would compress the pictures way smaller than what the stock sms app did. Long story short, I edited the default.xml file inside the ARHD 9.4 and made the mms settings in it like the ones inside a stock tmobile htc one. Then i downloaded go sms pro mess the mms settings, and wala. I am now able to receive pictures at a better quality than the stock sms app. For example a picture would come in at 410kb through the stock app, but then on the go sms app i would enable it and the same picture would come in at about 500kb. I guess this was my solution to this whole debacle. Still kind of stupid because i am able to send the pics at close to 1mb but receive them at around 400-500kb.
Under mms settings in go sms pro, select retain size and set the option or size to 1.2mb.
Also make go sms your default sms/mms app.
Should be good after this.

Can you show a screen shot of the picture you received and then size kb wise. That's where it will show the truth. I receive them too, it's on the quality where it shows the size.

pictures come in fine for me.
Ok pictures are coming in fine for me too, but at a miserable low size. To those saying that pictures are coming in fine, click on the picture and then on details and see what the incoming size is. Post screenshots please.

SMS on update

Hey, so my wife received the update to 4.2. She's complaining about the messaging app not showing unread threads and taking forever to send since it won't let her send another until that one is sent. Is there any fix? Or is it possible to use the sense 4 messaging app? Not rooted.

There is a slight lag with sending texts, hopefully they fix that...don't see another way...I'm stock as well.
Try clearing cache and data of the messaging app or get a 3rd party messaging app.

I would use GoSMS if it would send pictures properly. It sends links to pictures. Always hated that.

Make sure with gosms that you're sending it as an mms and not a goshare message. If it's an mms the pictures send fine. If it's goshare it sends a link unless the recipient has gosms as well.
I personally use Google Hangouts since my phone is stock. It works pretty good for me.
I second Google Hangouts. It's a great SMS app since the update a while back. Much nicer than stock in my opinion.
