I have a HTC Amaze 4G. I can't receive pictures or any attachments in sent texts to me or sending texts out. How can that be fixed? What should I do? Thank you to anyone who can help me.
What carrier do you have?
My carrier is AT&T but I have a T-Mobile phone. It's unlocked and all the other features work except sending or receiving pictures via text.
ICS or GB? If ICS set to auto-retrieve mms (menu when you open sms)
If GB then maybe your mms size limit is way too low. Again, open the menu after you open your sms go to mms settings and set it to 400 or so, and make sure auto retrieve is checked
Have you tried other text apps like go or handcent?

Hi,
I'm on T-Mobile UK and when ever I send a slightly long SMS, the phone auto converts it to an MMS message and sends it through the internet/uses data to send it?
Why is this? It never used to happen on my Desire.
Any help is appreciated!

WTF... Why is it only this phone that does this!!!!
eugh...hate using a secondary messaging app. :/
It's just a pain coz it displays the message as if it were a picture (which looks ugly) and it's hard/takes longer for the person to receive the message!
THanks though for clearing that up!
Hate to dig up old topics, but looks like my SII can't send more than 1 sms (160 characters) before converting the whole text to mms. People were reporting they can send up to 3 sms before phone converts to mms. 3 should be ok for me, but 1 definitely sucks. Is there a way i can make it accept 3 sms ?
Try this
For me it stays as a text message and I send many text overseas and not just from the country I'm in at the time.
Try my settings.
Going Message> Settings> Text Message Limit
I changed the default to 2010 not that I send that amount and select now Set.
Their is a MMS fix around if that help .

That setting is only for how many messages should the phone store before deleting old conversations, doesn't help with sending more characters in a single sms Thanks for the tip JJEgan but i don't wanna root my phone to achive that and only solution i found was handcent sms which looks like crap. Must be a way of sending at least 3 sms, as all the other SII, but played with sms settings and there's no such thing. Wonder if my provider has anything to do with that, but it's highly unlinkely, as i can send multiple sms with other phones in the same network.
I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

I see this as well. It's a shame since other phones already have the ability.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
Just switch over to the DNA, I had a Note 2 for a few months and now I'm on the DNA (Long story that includes a week with an iPhone5 :cyclops. Is group messaging working for the DNA or is it just me. My Note 2 would group message with NO problems. Just wondering if this is an HTC issue or a Verizon issue.

What app are you using to do messaging? Really should have no problems with it. So question, is it that you can't get it to add more the one person, or are you getting an error while trying to send the message out?
It works fine for me with the stock HTC app.

I am using the stock messaging app. Sorry I didn't further explain. Whats happing is, I can set up the group message just fine (add the reciepiants and it converts to an MMS like it's supposed to). I type the message and hit send. Everybody gets the message but I do NOT get any replies at all. I don't even get replies as an individual text. I get nothing!!!

Maybe they are ignoring you. IJS.
Nah just kidding . are you messaging other providers. sometimes this is a known issue. But no reason why you not getting any. Check your apn setting.
I would believe the ignoring part if I wasn't in the same room with them while I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on...lol. It is across all three carriers. My Son is on Sprint, one of my daughters is on AT&T and my Wife and my other Daughter are on Verizon. They get the message fine... I get none of there responses (in the group or as a response to the group into my phone as an individual message). When they respond to the group message they all get the message in the same group but I see nothing.
I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour. They reprovisioned everything on there end. I factory reset the phone to start all over and nothing is helping. I am not rooted... The phone is brand new. Hell I even took the OTA to try and figure this out which sucks because now I can't root the phone.
You check to see if you unchecked the group reply option in the messaging app? Is under settings > mms

Yes I checked that. It is "Checked"
Update on this issue. I got the Verizon Store to give another new phone, based on Tech Support saying they have done all they can do, the only thing left was to exchange the phone out.
Unfortunitly that didn't fix the problem. I can still send out a group text but I still do not receive the any of the replies. A regular SMS text works just fine. Very frustrating.
I don't have a note 2 right now, but probably will soon. I have a couple of questions about the recent update. When I had the note 2 a few months back, I had something that bothered me about messaging that I wanted to find out was changed or not.
When receiving a picture message with text included in the same message, does it still show a slide show or does it now allow you to view the photo without saving it and going to the gallery to see it?
When sending and receiving group text messages, does it allow you to view all sent and received messages from everyone included in the group within the same thread, or do the messages come in sorted under the individual contact's name even if they're in your group message?

It still appears as a slideshow, it did that on my S3 and RAZR MAXX as well.
As for the group messaging I want to say it all shows up under one tab together but I may be wrong as I have only use it once.
Why is this not posted in Q&A?

I've recently noticed the slide-show thing too. Is there another messaging thingy we can install to get rid of that annoying problem? I saw that someone posted the ASOP one - does that fix this ??

I seemed to have lost the ability to send or receive group messages. My Hangouts app does not have the option under advanced settings, where it was definitely there on my nexus 5. I have had the phone for a week and I only noticed after I tried to send a group message so I am not sure if it was there and disappeared or it was never there to begin with. Group messages get sent as individual SMS instead of MMS. The phone is rooted.

I don't really know if is related to your root, but I doubt it, I have my group conversation options in both, default and Hangouts apps, so just to see, go to your default messaging app and go to settings, multimedia messages and be sure that you have the Group conversation selected there, maybe, and I'm guessing here, if it's not selected there, maybe Hangouts don't give you the option.

From what I've read, it would seem its a problem with the phone. I've also gotten mixed responses from the community here on XDA. Everything from Samsung saying they got rid of that feature all the way to it's the Sim cards. I don't have the option on any of them. So I'm in the same boat.

My default messages app doesn't have the option either. It's like it doesn't exist.
I tried factory reset too and that didn't work.

I went to the T-Mobile store and switched the sim, and it works now. This may or may not matter, but the sim in which it didn't work was Isis-enabled, and the new one is not.

I had the same issue as you.. Both of my SIM cards were ISIS sim cards. The one that came with the phone didnt allow for group messaging and the new one did..
I also have a issue with the stock messaging app not handling group conversations correctly when i am on wifi. When wifi is off, they come just fine, except they come in way slower than my wifes iphone 5S.. we both have tmobile.. I might be tempted to go back to the iphone 5s
I have the option on my text messenger settings.. But my buddy just got his phone and this option is not available... What could that mean?

This is to confirm that issue is with SIM card
I did everything including switching Different SIM card, Finally Found out that ISIS SIM seems to be culprit, ( they are new one with NFC enabled)
Below screen show good and bad sim in terms for group messaging to work.
