As it says in the title, I try to send a screen shot via a group message in the stock app, and it says size limit reached. I tried sending it individually, but it doesn't work. Can we seriously not send a screenshot via messaging?? There has to be a way around this, without downloading or using another app.
edit: It sent fine via Hangouts. Side note, has anybody had any luck using Hangouts as their primary SMS/MMS app?

I use hangouts for SMS and MMS and have 0 issues
I did on my S3 and I liked it.. Lacks any semblance of customization for now though. Wasn't happy about the white background with that screen..
My only guess for your problem is that for some reason it wasn't shrinking the file size automatically for mms if it was too large? Seems goofy though

Hi,
is there any way to add a sending animation (like a progressbar or something) when you click on "send" for a text message?
Sometimes I click on sent and don't see if the click was working because the phone seems to do nothing. So I click again and this often causes the text messaging applicaction to crash.
Does anyone have the same problems?
maybe you should try enabling sms sent notification in the settings..........yes it may be sometimes annoying when sending to multiple contacts, as you get multiple notifications
no I don't want a notfication that the message was sent.
I'd like to have a notification that the message is sending, to prevent clicking on send again.
On my last windows mobile phone (samsung omnia) there was a little animation during the sending of a message. And i was wondering why there isn't anything like that on the HD2.
when using the htc messaging client, the message will move upwards into the space under the last message you got from the person your replying to, to show that it has been sent.........
i wish there was a way, would take away some of my worries about txting lol

Yeah I know, but this only shows me that it was sent.
But I'm looking for an animation or similar WHILE it's sending

Samsung has a very different software overlay than HTC does. You will not get this functionality out of Sense or Windows Mobile as default.
You might be able to get it by using a different SMS application (maybe check Freeware Pocket PC?).

Managed to install successfully the Whatsapp Messenger over my 10.1 HTC JetStream which means that i can send/receive Text, Pictures, Videos from & to my tablet, either over WiFi or Cellular. This is great as i can photo with my tablet and send it to any mobile phone that run's whatsapp and its FREE. Same goes for receiving Text or pictures.
Its a great way to communicate FREE from my tablet.
Didn't managed to download the apk file from the market so i googled for it and just installed it, registered & it work.
BTW - The HTC JetStream is SIM Unlocked - was locked to ATT when i got it and easily managed to have it working on ORANGE network. see other thread in the forum.
As stated earlier, whatsapp works great on the Jetstream.
One small issue is that i do not able to see the contact list wheni want to compose a message to someone who didn't text me earlier. The contact list in the "compose message" is empty. anyone got the same issue ?
Any idea how to resolve it ?

I'm using text + which lets you send a text to anyone in your Google contacts and also shows you the list. Not to thrilled about the randomly assigned number when you sign up, but it does work for SMS and MMS.
how did u install whatsapp?
where did u get the APK from?

Currently using Handcent as my messaging app (but have also verified this in the stock messaging app). Whenever I get longer type of texts from my friends (most using iphones) it shows as a MMS message.
Is there a setting I may have missed to stop this? It's getting really annoying.
Also, is there a way to disable that stupid slideshow when someone sends more than 1 picture in a text?
I text back and forth with my wife all the time... She has an iPhone 4S. I have never had any of her texts arrive as MMS unless they were that. I still use the stock app and running on the stock ROM unrooted. You said you verified this on the stock app, but was that ever before installing the Handcent app or only after?
As far as the stupid slideshow issue... I hate it too... Even if it's only 1 single solitary picture it will play the slideshow... Stupid... Not sure why, but I can't help with that.
Should be normal......... depending on how much you're typing. If you pass the length of 3 text messages, it automatically gets turned into mms to be able to send all of it in one go.
If you're typing less than 3 text messages worth and it still gets sent as an mms, you have a problem.

I am getting a glitch when using the stock messaging app. When I get a multimedia message (a message with multiple pictures in it), the app tries to play it as a slideshow. It tries to open it but nothing happens. Is there a link to another stock sms app I can download that fixes this bug? If I use Handcent, then I'm able to open or play the message as a slideshow.

I can reproduce this bug with the stock messaging app very easily. I am on Carbon Rom (4-28-2013) and s-off. If I go into Gallery, select two pictures, select share, select the stock messaging app, and send the mms message to myself, when I get the message the app won't be able to play it. Nothing happens when you hit play. It's supposed to play it as a slideshow. Using Handcent, however, the mms file is able to be played as a slideshow. Check it out and you'll see. There's definitely a bug with the stock messaging app and this ROM.

Try searching the MMS fix for CM 10.1, which iirc Carbon is built from. Some people found putting in the APNs through voice dialer helped. I personally used Go SMS Pro and it received mms fine. (However Go SMS has an option for your APNs if needed like the stock app, however adding it to the stock app didn't help for me)

I thought this fix was more for if people weren't receiving MMS at all. I think the OP is talking about receiving the MMS but the app won't display when you click the big grey play button. I've experienced the same thing running CM10.1 and Carbon while receiving an MMS with text in it, the app thinks it's a slide show and is presented to me that way within the messaging thread. When I click the play button to view what it thinks is a slide show, I can barely catch a glimpse of the picture until it blinks away then I'm left at the messaging threads.
It seems to be a messaging app or slideshow viewer problem rather than an MMS receiving issue. If I receive just a pic with no text I can view the image just fine and I'm not presented with the big grey play button.
I can't believe no one else has this issue...unless I'm misunderstanding the APN fix, but that thread doesn't sound like the same problems.

Yes I don't believe that is the same issue. I have no problems sending and receiving a MMS message. It's only when there is a slideshow MMS that the stock messaging app fails to play it properly. I have switched to Handcent to resolve the issue. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know. Thank you for the replies guys!

I've got the same exact issue with SlimBean. Seems installing a 3rd party app is the only solution. Annoying.
Stupid t-mobile always fails to send SMS longer than your standard 160 chars or whatever. If I have it split into two, the person sometimes gets neither, and sometimes only gets the second half. So, confusing. Standard/stock app works fine, as it has an option to auto convert to MMS once it gets so long. So the short of it is, I want a 3rd party texting app, that doesn't suck, and that converts to MMS rather than splits.
Things that would make me happy.
1. It being pretty.
2. It having working group MMS
3. And, as I said, it MUST have an option to convert to MMS.
Don't suggest Textra or ChompSMS. Both just split. Neither auto convert. I own Chomp and I've used Textra extensively.
Edit: and on my 2% remaining battery I downloaded Go SMS Pro and it doesn't appear to have an auto convert option.. only split
Sliding messaging ? Panzi ?

I can't find Panzi on the play store. And Sliding Messaging is $1 to get? I feel like you're just naming popular messengers without any idea of whether they actually support converting long texts to MMS automatically.
Sync your SMS messages with facebook messenger app . this app dosent split the SMS
