I'm running Vanir 5.0 and its really smooth. The only issue for me is MMS. It barely works, and when it does work it takes literaly 10 minutes to send/recieve group message or pictures. I've tried using Textra, Verizon Messages, and hangouts with all same results. There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my APN. As a person who does a lot of group texting i really wanna fix it, but dont wanna leave Vanir cuz its awesome. What should I do?
Ever figure this out? Having similar issues.
Try a different sms mms app like textra, chompsms etc... See if that helps

I contacted ChompSMS support about the sending of MMS messages to iPhone users. They never received them although the program said it was sent.
David from support sent me a beta trial version to try. It worked. The other fix is to switch to the stock messaging app to send MMS messages but that kinda sux.
Just install this apk over the existing version. You will not lose existing texts. It worked for me. Let me know if it does NOT work for you.
I ran into the same problem with a friend of mine. He has an iPhone. tried sending mms with Chomp and he never received him.
I will give the fix a try.
One question. I paid to remove adds, will anything be messed up by installing this in regards to the license?
No. Mine is still ad free.

Why does using the stock Messaging app suck (which works fine for both sms and mms) as opposed to going through all that bs trying to get a 3rd party app to work??
I used handcent for years when the stock MMS/SMS apps really did suck, but the stock Rezound app works perfectly 100% of the time (no matter what kind of phone its sending to) and looks awesome if you theme it correctly.
Chomp SMS offers more bells and whistles. Blacklisting, custom backgrounds, etc.
I can send/receive picture mail / mms, but the incoming ones come in saying:
"9000:New Picture Mail from
##########!

The phone has always done something like this, and I thought it was some limit of the MMS program. So I finally rooted it and updated it to the newer stock ROM. This made it a bit better, because now I can zoom in on the picture, but same problem overall. Then I changed to MeanROM (awesome speedy ROM btw!), and still the same thing. I went in and changed some things in ##DATA# for MMS, but that didn't help either. I searched and searched and found nothing to do with this. All I know is that the service at pictures.sprintpcs.com is discontinued, and so I don't get how this is still working this way, and how I can go there and view pics.
Any ideas? I think I can change to another SMS program, but then how do I get a backup like SMS Backup+ ?
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?
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.
The stock Samsung messaging app struggles to send mms. It seems like it went resizing photos and live messages maybe? When I switch to non stock apps they all work fine, but in the stock app, especially group threads, sometimes they never send, or only some people in the group get the message. Had anyone else experienced this?
