Unable to send Picture Messages - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
Im hoping you can help me. I have the KIW-L24 currently on Lineage 14.1 using Tmobile. I cannot get picture messages to send. I can receive picture messages and I can send group MMS messages.
When I send the message I get "Message not sent: Invalid message" I've rebuilt my APNs, and checked any settings I can think of. I tried different ROMs and even tried some 6.0 ROMs with no luck. It worked fine on the stock ROM .
Thanks!

if it works on stock rom then its a bug on the custom rom, better to report it in the related thread

It happens with every custom rom I install, that's why I'm confused.

You can try a factory reset? Doubt it will do anything

When I receive texts on my new huwai 5 x honor I get a random chain of letters and numbers following like this
I love you too
~cveBKQAWVzqk8gg
Also
When I try to send a picture in messaging it won't send and I get a long block of gibberish filling a message to contact Google Fi.
I downloaded Google Messanger to use but it is doing same thing.
My husband ordered same phone and has no similar issues.
I have run spyware fixed with no luck. Google support people have no idea.
I have doñe 2 factory resets to no avail. Also, I deleted all message threads before running Kaspersky and still the problem remains.
One difference is Google Hangouts lets me send small pictures but I get same random characters on received messages on that just like on stock huwaei messaging and Google messenger.
Help! Please

U cant send

Blank message from Anonymous sender after MMS

Every time I receive a picture in an MMS I get another message from "Anonymous" no subject. I open it and it say "message not found" I receive the message multiple times until I delete the original message. This happens in the stock messaging app and in Chomp. Uninstalled Chomp and it still happens on stock.
Rooted running UnNamed v1.0.1
Bump for some help. This is really annoying

Does this happen when you try to send a message to certain people, or just one person in particular? I wonder if maybe it's a read receipt notifying you that it was delivered? I'm on a custom ROM so I can't check. Try going into messaging, hit menu, then select settings.
Otherwise, maybe it's a carrier issue.
No Trojan this happens when I receive picture messages. From anybody on multiple carriers. May be an at&t issue. I think this happened on my Infuse too but don't remember if I ever resolved it

It happened to me on my Atrix. I found if I ignored it and didn't open it, it actually deleted itself. As far as I can tell, it's related to read receipts. Unnamed Rom doesn't offer the ability to request them and I don't think Stock did either but I also don't use a 3rd party messaging Application. Try turning off Read/Delivery Receipts on your device and see what happens.

From what I have been able to tell, it is a Carrier Issue AND read receipt issue.
Anyone found a fix for it yet?
Happened to me today, we both use GoSMS but I think she has enabled delivery receipt.
did you happened to fix it?
I love how people are complaining that this was brought up again in another thread, which in fact led it to being locked even though there is no answer on this board. It is really annoying getting those messages. I have searched "blank anonymous", "blank message", and just "anonymous". Only two threads come up that are related to this issue. This one, and the one that was just locked. So if anyone truly has an answer to this issue and doesn't worry about trying to look cool by insulting users, please provide the answer, or at least point us in the right direction.
Thanks
I found a way that worked for my phone. I'm using ChompSMS and I would always get those and they would keep popping up.
All I had to do was open Chomp settings > SMS & MMS Network > MMS Network Settings > set "auto retrieve" to UNCHECKED.
I cant confirm that this will work (especially if you dont use Chomp as default), but it did work well for me. Good Luck

I've tried that. It doesn't do anything. Once I download the mms I'll get the anonymous message.
I've had this issue when I was on my Captivate. I tried flashed a few different ROMs and even went back to stock and the issue was still there. It was one of the reasons why I upgraded to the GS2 before my contract expired. However, the issue appeared on the new phone. The real problem was that my SIM card was messed up. Once they replaced my SIM card, everything was working fine again.

Messaging BIG Problem (Ridiculous)

Hi, This is my first post and i need help, I was texting with my new phone (SGS3) in the stock messaging app, and i wrote an SMS (4 Pages) and suddenly the SMS was automatically converted to MMS, and there is no option to disable this horrible and ridiculous feature, and theres also no option to turn it off! So how can this be possible? Such an expenssive phone, and you cant even write freely an SMS??? Why is there a limit of 3 pages? I was wondering if someone could do a MOD to fix this! I had the same problem with the galaxy note, and there was a little mod that could fix that, so i think im not the only one that want this fixed! (i dont like custom ROMS or anything like that, and i dont like apps like GoSMS, or stuff like that, i just like the stock messaging app, but with the fix) i just want PLEASE a little mod to fix this BIG problem. (Sorry for my english)
Sms are limited to 160 characters. Otherwise it has to be sent as an Mms.

Thats not what i asked for, i mean.. im coming from an iphone 4s and that never happened, in fact it never happened to me in all the phones i have had!! So, i dont see the point of converting an SMS automatically to MMS just because i write more than 3 pages, thats just ridiculous But the thing is, that i would like to know if someone could do a MOD for the stock messaging app to fix that and make it without characters restrictions! To explain it better this is what i want for my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371755
no one texts anymore, use whatsapp or some sort of instant messaging

i'm pretty sure that's not how it works, SMS longer than 160 characters get sent as multiple SMS which then then recombined back into one sms on the recipients phone. I've had the issue before when one part of a multi SMS message was delayed causing me to have the first or second half only and when the other one arrived sometime later the phone still knew to combined them together.
MMS is only when you attach a picture, video or voice clip to the message.
I have just tested what the OP has said and its true, if you type a long SMS, after the 3rd set of 260 characters, (there is a counter just above the send icon) it then gets converted to a MMS
But to the OP, I do wonder why you would want to type such a long SMS on a regular basis? you can also just send the sms at 3 pages then send a new one.
Can't you just send after every two pages. Yeah, it cost more but it will solve your issue.

Sms are limited to 160 characters (Per Page), And when you write more than 3 Pages, it will automatically convert your SMS to MMS without asking or option to disable, it will just convert it to MMS. (it will convert it even if you dont attach ANYTHING, Even if it just based on text)
Use Go sms... But this is stupid...
S3 shouldn't do that...
Lol at the Wattsapp suggestions

Wow I just realised that there is no option to cancel this 'feature' after I read your thread.
I do hope this is resolved since for those on Payandgo networks, like me, MMS isn't always free whereas practically even mobile plan has free SMS. Defeats the objective here, you can send very long SMS texts (counts as more than 1 but still sends fine) from other phones no problem. On the galaxy nexus it was possible to disable this SMStoMMS converting problem easily, I hope the devs come up with a workaround..

Who still has data rates for SMS and MMS? I thought this stuff was free now? In Australia SMS for free is pretty much standard and most plans have at least $500 of credit included, an MMS costs max 0.50c, is this seriously an issue? Just use a different messegeing ap or use an instant messenger.

Guys, am I right in saying that this was always a problem with stock messaging app? Hence most custom ROMs have a modded 'No MMS convert' message app? I remember this limitation on my stock SGS2 back in the day - dont remember this ever happening to me after custom roms.... or maybe I never sent over 3 pages.......
I just tried Texting over 311 characters from my SGS2 to my SGS3 and them back..........No MMS converting.... One whole page too....
Therefore this is not a problem with custom ROMs...

Correct.
The rest of your question (the part not quoted above) is actually a bit off-topic for a ROM support or development thread and I prefer not to go off topic, but that being said, it seems that T-Mobile may not get the Sense 5.5 until the upcoming android 4.4 KitKat update.
Now, I ask that we all please keep speculation and questions about release dates out of these threads. Thank you

I could make it work but would have to revert back to the sense 5 lockscreen. Not a big deal for some, for others not preferable when its a sense 5.5 rom. So the best answer I can give you is I have no immediate plans.
Is it possible to incorporate the theme chooser or is it limited to cm based rims?

Problem with basic WIFI
First thank you so much for the development. This ROM is exactly what I was looking for. I just traded a G2 for the HTC One so I do not have a ton of experience with this device. I am having very inconsistent results with WIFI. WIFI calling seems to be fine; however, WIFI itself rarely gives the network layer to the phone even when I have an excellent signal. I have tried disabling WIFI calling to see if that is the culprit and the same behavior continues. Again this is a new phone to me so is this a consistent issue with the HTC One? The WIFI antenna itself is significantly better than my last phone's - so it's not an issue with a weak signal. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I've been reading more and the general consensus seems to be to do a factory reset. I did a reset before coming to this rom but I guess I'll try again. Certainly this is not related to the ROM based on what I've been reading. Thanks again for the time and effort Behold_this.

You might try rebooting your router/modem, every so often mine gets a little finicky
I've searched and cant really find anything about this, but my HTC Email app will randomly quit working. I can open it fine, but it wont let me switch between my Outlook account or my work email. Sometimes I can get it to open emails, but I cant reply to them. The send button just blinks, nothing happens. I've wiped and reloaded, cleared data and cache for the email app, nothing. Seems very odd.
Stock Group MMS not working, sends blank message
So I flashed this ROM a few days ago and it has been working superbly. Super fast and overall plain awesome.
I was sending a group MMS text yesterday using the stock Messaging App with Group MMS checked ON in the settings, and people kept telling me that I was sending them blank messages. My friends are iPhone users but my group texting used to work for everyone before. Any thoughts guys?

Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in the 3.62 base as it has appeared on other ROMs built from it. I certainly can't do anything to fix it, I'm sorry to say. If I come across a workaround or any solution I will post back but for now unfortunately I would suggest you use a different app, or avoid group texts. The new Hangouts app is a great supplement to the stock messaging app now, as it supports full SMS capabilities. As for the stock app there's not anything I can do atm.
I don't know why, but my SIM contacts keep disappearing and appearing at random.
The only mod I have is Bulletproof Kernel, 1% battery, and purexaudio.

Aww that is a bummer. Do you think there is a way to roll back the stock Messaging App to the 4.2.2 version? Would that even work as a fix? Maybe someone has an apk out there I could install and test it out...

You can try the stock messaging app from the tmobile 3.24 release. It should still work. I have come across many sense 5 apps from the Android 4.3 build that work on sense 5.5/Android 4.3 builds, just haven't tried messaging.
The "hold back arrow to kill app" feature, is that a mod or part of the stock ROM? If a mod, is there a way to install it to other ROMs?

This is not related to phone's firmware, software, or hardware. This is due to T-Mobile's crappy network. This started happening to me on 4.1.2, I upgraded to 4.3 and still the same issue. Happened out of the blue, started in October and hasn't been fixed since. It was working perfectly fine since I've had the phone on launch day. Please refer to this thread, there are some Executive Response email addresses you can reach out to on Page 2...you can see some of our templates there.
This is not just affecting Android phones, but Windows phones and iPhones as well.
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/55846
I have the same username on there. I was reached out to by the Executive Response team. I will be in touch with a "best of best" advanced tech specialist who will get the details from me, and report that information to the networking engineers at T-Mobile to fix this horrible, annoying issue.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I installed Textra and people are telling me that they are now getting my group MMS. So I am under the impression that the issue is actually with the stock messaging app. I am not sure if there are other issues with the network in your area.

I believe you are incorrect and that it's network related. Like I said, it was working flawlessly for 6 months and the issue started occurring out of nowhere in October, which is when it started happening for a bunch of other people on other phones, not just the HTC One. I had not updated the stock 4.1.2 OS. Please read that thread I posted above on T-Mobile's Support forums. When using other apps, it most likely uses different server configurations and doesn't necessarily travel through T-Mobile's servers. While it might be working now through a third-party app...a stock experience should never be faulty.

Unable to send GIF through whatsapp.39

[SOLVED]
Hi guys,
I apologise for creating this thread as I couldn't find any related to the problem I am facing.
I am currently using whatsapp 2.16.354 beta version
I was able to GIFS as soon as whatsapp announced the feature.
But, recently I realised I couldn't send them anymore.
This was possible by either sharing the GIFS through
-the giphy app
-the gallery icon in chat and then clicking the GIF tab
-built in video recorder which could convert videos which are 6 seconds or less into GIFS.
Now, I couldn't see or use any of them
- GIFS shared from giphy apps, render the GIFS into pictures
- no GIF tab in gallery
- no button to convert videos to GIFS in the video recorder.
Despite that, I am able to receive and view GIFS sent by others.
So far I tried these many procedures to solve the problem
-uninstalled whatsapp beta, reinstalled, cleared cache and data.
-uninstalled whatsapp beta, left the beta program, reinstalled stable whatsapp, cleared cache and data
And none of them worked for me.
It seems I am the only whatsapp user facing this problem as I couldn't find the solution anywhere and nobody knows anything about it.
P.S. I live in U.A.E. Since whatsapp call is banned here, did they ban GIFS too?
I would be glad if someone is able to resolve this issue for me.
Thank you.

I am facing the same issue. I have the Nexus 6P, on whatsapp 2.16.310 ... seems that the issue is specific to android
EDIT: I read an article stating that Whatsapp for android and Web (prod, not beta) do not support sending GIFs, but they can receive them. Guess it's only a matter of time.

So, if it's specific to android devices, how is that others are sending gifs?
Also have you noticed that after updating whatsapp through playstore. You have the option to send gifs when you open whatsapp the first time after update. The second time you open, it disappears.

I have the same problem...
I can only send the gifs that I have received from my contacts...
But if I download a gif from the internet and try to send it, the message "sending" remains forever and the gif is never sent...
I have the latest offical update...and I think it's possible due to having root or cyanogenmod

I have the same problem...
I can only send the gifs that I have received from my contacts...

Well, yours seems to be different compared to mine.
Atleast you can select a gif and get a "sending" message. Mine just converts the GIF into a normal picture and sends the pic successfully.
I can't be possibly due to root or cyanogen because my friend too rooted his phone with cyanogen mod and he can send gifs without breaking a sweat.

So, i realized the problem was with the xposed module called KMOD which is used for whatsapp theming.
There was a option which enables/disables sending of GIFS. The toggle was switched off. Switching it on solved the issue.
Moderators can now close this thread.

stock messaging app RCS (TMobile)

I've been using the default messaging app with my v60 and I actually love it. Up until a few days ago rcs was working perfectly with it and then it just stopped working. No read reports no typing indicators ..nothing. just wondering if anyone knows how I can fix this issue and get rcs working agian as I would prefer to keep using the stock messaging app. I already tried wiping cache and data for the app. Any help/ideas are appreciated

For some reason RCS has never worked in the stock app for my wife and I ever since we switched to TMobile. It works in Google messages, but never the stock app. And after today's announcement that T-Mobile was rolling out universal profile, I tried it again and it still doesn't work

That's so strange. I wonder why it was working....literally since I got the phone in hand, and then just stopped. Hm...I hope they get it figured out as I actually prefer the stock TMobile messaging app.

That is strange. Although, I'm having a weird problem where mms doesn't even work at all on the stock app, but it works fine on Google messages or any other 3rd party apps. Which sucks because I like the stock app but I can't use it since I can't send or receive pics or group messages. T-Mobile literally had to open a trouble ticket in my account and are trying to figure it out

Weird....mms works for me. Hopefully they can fix this with a future update as I really don't want Android messages.
Maybe it has something to do with TMobile agreement with Google regarding RCS.

I would have thought that could be it, and maybe it is, but I've had the phone for well over a month and it hasn't worked from day one. Supposedly T-Mobile is going to contact me on Tuesday after the "engineer's look at the provisioning" on my account
Aaaaaand just like that, RCS is working again for me in stock messaging app wtf?
