So I've noticed that trying with the stock texting app, the new hangouts, and handcent, if a text is too long it won't even attempt to send it. I just get an immediate failure. I'm trying to figure out if it's a general 4.4 issue or ROM related since it persists across multiple apps.
Running:
4.4 gummy
KT kernel
Other info:
The message doesn't switch to MMS when it gets past the length, it stays as a SMS message like if you turned off the option as you could in the past.
Has anyone else seen this or can anyone attempt it on the other 4.4 ROM?
Here's the message I try to send below:
"The position I had in mind is requiring a jr level development experience so your friend won't work. If he does have experience have him email me his résumé. Thanks man!"

So I have been playing around loading different ROMs on my razr and I am seeing the same issue with the messaging app within the ROMs. I am currently running Liquid v2.8 and I am seeing the same issue. The issue is I have a group of friends that we have a group MMS that we all respond to. There is a mix of droid phones and iphones in the group. There are two guys that when they send their messages I receive them in their separate thread. Meaning that their message is not added to the group thread.Everyone else receives their message correctly as did I when I was running the stock ROM. The strange issue is that these two guys are using a stock Galaxy S3 running on Verizon. They are the only two using these phones and the only two causing an issue on my end.
Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas on where I should look to resolve the issue? I have searched but have not found anything. I can resolve the issue by installing the verizon messenger from the play store but of course I would rather use the messenger in the ROM that has more options.
I love this phone, been on android since the olden days of android 1.0, but I;m having a severely annoying problem with my group messaging app. I can receive and view pictures and texts from my friends perfectly fnie in the group thread, one of which has a Sprint GS4, but when i go to respond, it sends them out as if I had the "individual messages" tab selected in the thread. I've made sure 100 times that I have the settings correct, that I have the "group message" tab selected when I send the text. Everything looks like it should be in working order.
Phone is basic, unrooted, regular messaging app in use at all times, it still doesn't seem to work.
has anyone else ran into this problem (or more specifically its solution)??? My friends and I use group messaging all the time for plans and sports, meetup spots etc... And i would really like to be able to contribute without sending out 5 or 6 separate texts.

i have the same problem
anyone solution ??
Bump, still hunting for an answer other than use use a different messaging app. I'm not a fan of GO SMS and I am having to use the Verizon Messages app for the time being, which is poorly built but works with group messages
Bump because I'm STILL hunting for a solution to this. The app Textra was working for a few days but it suddenly stopped.

I just got my S4 and found out my messaging was doing this as well! I've tried Textra and that did not help for me. Is there any fix for this? Are there any ROM's that fix this issue?
Hey, folks. I'm new, obviously.
I recently rooted and s-offed my LTEVO. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and CM10.1 Stable (I also installed the exFAT fix). The problem I'm having and that I'm reading a lot of people are having is with MMS. I'm not sure if group messaging falls into MMS or SMS but I can neither send/receive picture or media messages, nor can I SEND group messages (although I can receive them). I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, whether there's a fix that I just haven't found (I have done extensive searching/trolling before making a profile to ask this question) or if this is a common issue which may have been resolved in newer builds. Essentially, I was wicked pumped when I found out that I could receive group messages from people because the stock, unrooted LTEVO would receive "multimedia messages" from everyone participating in the conversation individually instead of all within the same thread or whatever you wanna call it. But, as I've come to find out, I can't actually participate in these group sessions, I can only SEE them organized within one text thread (which is still better than stock, but disappointing that it doesn't take one seemingly essential step further). Also, I thought it was just crappy Sprint service, but it seems that I can't send or receive multimedia messages (that aren't in text form). I was excited, again, to see that the preview of the image I was going to send was minimally compressed, if at all. I was sick of sending people screenshots of blurry, illegible caca, but again this feature falls short and now I can't actually send or receive any form of media.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or maybe what I'm just NOT doing right. At any rate, if anyone could shed some light on my unfortunate situation that'd be stellar. I'm forced to use Voxer for the time being.
I'm having the same problem. Any assitance is welcome!
I can't say I completely understand your issue but will give an answer with my best guesstimate as to a fix.
You are trying to group messages with others that have iPhones. iPhones natively send texts as mms while android natively sends as sms. Hence your problem (I think).
You need to use a third party messaging app. There are a couple that handle this but I use Go Sms Pro. It allows you to send and receive texts all while staying in the group without splitting the messages.
Once you install go sms pro you need to change a few settings in the app (you can find the correct group settings on Google easily) and disable the notifications from the stock messaging app (so you don't get multiple notifications for one text).
Hope this is what you were asking about as it is an issue for a lot of people.

Problem:
Occasional text messages are not "received". Just as a rough number, I'd say over 90% of SMS sent to me, I get. But I have been able to narrow down the problem with the missing ones.
I only noticed the issue because while at home or when I have headphones in, I have tasker set up to announce the name of the sender of a new SMS to me. Once in a while, it would say the name, but I wouldn't get a new text notification sound nor would I get a new message in any messaging app.
Phone info:
Nexus5
Android 4.4.4 rooted
Stock rom, kernel, etc.
Carrier is T-Mobile
Messaging apps used (not at the same time) are Hangouts, Smitten SMS, Google Messenger
Useful information:
1. This is NOT an iMessage issue. Missing messages have come from both android and apple phones. The last time this happened was today from a S5.
2. This is NOT a carrier issue. The message is received by the OS.
3. This is NOT an app issue. The message is not picked up by stock messaging app or any others.
4. This is NOT a formatting/encoding issue. I have people resend the message (copy/paste) and the resend always goes through and is shown in the messaging app.
5. This is NOT a group messaging issue. These are one on one conversations.
6. The missing message does NOT show up in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db.
7. If I set up Tasker to log all incoming SMS, it IS able to log the missing message AS IT IS RECEIVED BY THE OS.
My theory:
Tasker can catch these missing messages, but the mmssms.db won't see them. So that tells me that somewhere between the phone getting the message and the phone logging it to the mmssms.db to be read by messaging apps, there is a failure. I do not know Android well enough to precisely say where this failure is happening. Because Tasker isn't logging them as they hit the DB but prior to that.
If someone more knowledgeable with how the android os handles SMS wants to chime in here, that would be great.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Any additional ideas here?
I am experiencing the same issue and searching to find a solution.
Android 4.4.4
Motorola Moto G
Cricket is my carrier
Did you ever find a solution? Thanks!
Hi all,
I'm running a custom rom on a Huawei H1611 Ascent XT with only addition modification being Magisk V12 (I've tried posting this question in it's thread, but so far no luck https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ascend-xt-nexusxt-b160-t3597766 ). The rom replaced lots of stock apps with google apps so maybe something is going on there.
Basically, gmail, hangouts, and groupme all fail to notify me of a new email or message, especially when the phone is off. As a test, if someone sends me a hangout message, I won't receive it until I open the hangouts app.
I've gone through all the notification settings, the battery optimization settings (ensure gmail, play services, hangouts all set to no battery optimize), and can't find ANYTHING to cause this issue. Also done multiple wipes and reflashes.
I feel like one time I read about a blocked wakelock causing an issue similar to this but I can't recall it. Does anyone know what could cause an issue like this and how can I figure out what is going on? Driving my crazy...
thanks!
