the box is checked in settings, however nothing happens when trying to trace, any help would be great
For me it seems like it only works in the messaging app. Wtf
Messaging, facebook and email i confirmed...doesn't work in the browser..kinda weird yeah..
I'm on 4.4.3 LiquidSmooth, and the voice chat during a Hangouts video chat just doesn't work. I've used Fongo for Voice chat recently so I'm not sure if it's the ROM or something I'm not doing correctly with the Hangouts app? I've tried using headphones and that didn't work. Also, if I tried changing the volume during the hangouts chat, it stays at 0%, depsite the volumes in the Settings being raised. Any ideas?
Same problem
I see 150 views so people are having the same issue. I'd love to be able to use video chat with hangouts. I flashed 4.4.4 kit kat and uninstalled and reinstalled. same issue. still not working. changed text app.
Has anyone else noticed animated gifs via MMS not working when someone sends you one? My friends and I like to use them as quick responses and they're getting mine just fine but theirs comes through as a still. Despite opening the gif in Gallery or QuickPic, the gif appears to be broken. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which text app I use. Stock, Hangouts, or even Verizon Messaging shows all animated gifs broken. In case you're wondering, I use Hangouts primarily because it shows the gifs animated in-line. I'm also not rooted and I have no interested in rooting until after I've played around with the Lollipop update (whenever that happens).
Here are some things that I've noticed:
(1) It started happening when I got 12B
(2) A factory reset doesn't solve the problem
(3) Hangouts <-> Hangouts shows animated gifs properly but MMS -> Hangouts is broken
(4) People are still receiving my gifs animated
So what's going on? Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a Verizon issue?
Any suggestions, help, info, whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Update
I installed Textra and it appears to be handling animated gifs no problem. But... this still doesn't explain why they don't work in any of the 3 SMS/MMS apps that come with the G3. Problem solved for now but it's really more of a bandaid than a true fix.
Hmm must not be a Verizon issue since Textra works. Shame we can't just blame them. Gifs play in Hangouts for me in-line as you described with 12b. There were some cases on google forums where clearing Hangout app/cache, uninstalling Hangouts, reboot, and reinstalling Hangouts worked for some but I don't think you can do that unrooted. Plus you have already factory reset anyways. I'm assuming your Hangouts is up to date.
On a side note, after taking the LP update you might no longer have the choice to root if they block rolling back to 10b which I'd say is highly likely. Best to unlock bootloader now. Within days of release the devs will release the LP OTA in a flashable zip. Just my two cents.

Could you share your settings? I'm still unable to get gifs to work in Textra. I'm using a G3 on Verizon.

I haven't touched the settings other than what it automatically took care of. It was weird, though, last night I suddenly stopped receiving texts in a timely manner so I uninstalled Textra and reinstalled it. Problem solved and it was working again. Have you tried that?
The first time I installed Textra on my L3 (I used it religiously on my old rooted HTC Evo3D) I was on one of the previous builds like 10 or something and it seemed to break texting entirely. All texts that I sent stayed in "sending" limbo while I wouldn't receive texts from anyone else. Even uninstalling Textra didn't fix the problem so I had to do a factory reset to get texting back. It has only been since gifs broke in stock/Hangouts that I even decided to install Textra again. I'm on 12B and now it works fine for me but I have no idea why.
I actually just realized that you can access a giphy library from within textra. I was trying to save gifs from chrome and attach but that didn't work. But using the gifs from within textra worked perfectly. I did change my MMS proxy port to 80 based on something I read on androidcentral, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

Update - that didn't last long
Textra has decided to spontaneously stop allowing me to send animated gifs larger than 2mb. I've gone into the MMS settings and changed the sending settings to "no limit" and it's still rejecting the send. Odd, it worked just fine up until a couple of days ago.
Trying other texting apps allows me to send large gifs but still received animated gifs are still broken. I'm getting really tired of this the reps at my local Verizon store are idiots.
Hello, I am looking for an app that can actually remove me from a group message so that I do not receive tons of useless texts that end up using my data. Currently I use Google's Messenger as my main texting app, as we all know the stock one is terrible. This app works great and I love it, however when I get flooded with MMS it does not seem to know how to react and then refuses to send any SMS. Now I am also up to download another texting app if someone knows one that handles MMS better, I have tried Textra in the past however I kept recieving a notification that said something about my MMS APN but I never touched anything in Textra's settings to break that because it did work for a while. I am open to other options if someone has any ideas. Thanks
Handcent it's pretty reliable but has ads. I like hoverchat as well.
Hey guys...so since I've owned my V30 I've always been a user of Google's Messages app. It works flawelessly other than the fact that MMS's and Group Messages don't always come through. They'll show who sent them and state something along the lines of "unable to download, please click to retry" after doing so, sometimes the message is recovered sometimes it is not able to. More often not able to. Recently, it would seem I've become more annoyed with this issue. After many calls back and forth the with T-Mobile they've recommended I ditch Google's Messages app and use the included LG Messaging app.
Well, I can tell you...I no longer have issues not receiving MMS's or Group Messages....The issue I have now is, the LG app is SUPER SLOW. It can take 10-30 seconds just to open a chat....and if I have a group chat open with an active chat...the entire phone and app will freeze until the last message has stopped being received.
Does anybody have any suggestions to getting Google Messages working, or speeding up the LG Messaging app? I am not rooted so I'm stuck using this crappy app even disabled and not the default messaging app. I also removed LG Package disabler to see if turning something off was the issue but it is not.
