I have been scrolling through looking for answers, I have a s7 on att fully stocked. When I send a pic through the default app or a 3nd party ( exp: chomp, hangouts) about 2 out of 10 pics come out looking chopped in half and messed up on the receivers end. I have noticed this with people on multiple carriers and a range of different model phones receiving the pics.
Any answers? I have already hard reset it and problem continues...
Idk but this is happening to my wife's phone and it's pretty annoying.

I know, I have done resets, different messenger apps and other things testing. I'm pretty advanced with android but even this I come up short with. I wish someone had a answer. Is your wife on att also? Does she have the new wifi calling enabled? If so sms goes out over wifi not just calls. I have noticed it with and with out wifi calling enabled. I just want to find a common variable between them. :silly:

It's noticeably better using Allo. The pictures are so good MMS compression ruins them!

Hmmm.. because it makes things 100 times easier. You can text from your phone, get home or at work and continue right from your computer.
It was googles answer to Imessage for the Gphone.
Also has video calling RIGHT from the app, no need to switch and hope the other person has something installed

I've gone back and forth, Hangouts sometimes takes a while to launch which annoys me since I drive all day for work and like to respond to texts at stoplights. I've just enabled ART so maybe I will see better performance.
As for texting on my other devices I've been using Mighty Text on PC, Nexus 7 and phone for a while. It is ok but reading a text on PC or Tablet does not clear it from the phone, I never tried Hangouts on the other ones.

OK we were at cross purposes, I thought you meant are we using Hangouts as our SMS app. Is it the best? Down to personal choice. I mostly use Facebook since that's what most of my family are on. I have some people on Hangouts but the main person I speak to on Hangouts I have spoken to for years, originally on MSN and then gTalk so now Hangouts.
Er... no. I find EvolveSMS much better, completely uninstalled hangouts from phone. ..
I tried using Hangout. I did enjoy it, however, am using new app and am much enjoying it.
Im sure most of you read the news about hangouts now supports vzw mms or vzw finally supporting google voice... regardless, this is great news for me since my primary phone has being my Google voice for a long time.
I'm looking forward to a way of making hangouts being less laggy on the Note, if anyone was able to make it more smooth, please share.

Right... it is weird, it is very laggy on my wife's S5, was laggy on my S5. It is laggy on a G3 I have laying around and also on my Galaxy Tab S. I have a original Moto X and on the Moto X it isn't laggy... I'll keep an eye on the development of this issue, I have 2 year warranty anyway (and never keep a phone for that long) if it turns out to be a defective device I'll replace it.

Thanks for this! I've been giving out my Google Voice number for years and the whole MMS thing has been the one thing I hated about it.
I just tested with a friend who sent me a pic and it got shifted over to email. Not ideal, but since I get email on the phone too it's a lot better than it just disappearing into cyberspace.
I haven't integrated Hangouts with Voice yet so maybe that's why it got turned into an email. I've been hesitant to integrate the two. Does anyone know how to separate them again if I try it and don't like it?

I don't know how to separate them, never tried really but the reason you got the picture on an email is because the Google voice app doesn't support pictures, even back in the day when T-Mobile and Sprint were the only two supported for MMS I think it was received as an email.
Make the jump to hangouts and it will all work fine. By the way, when you switch it to hangouts, you'll have to forward your calls again to your Verizon phone # OR you can use the hangouts app to make and receive phone calls. The calls handled by hangouts are over WiFi or data, like VOIP

I had the same issue, tried every single SMS app, did a full wipe. No difference. Will be sending the phone back if I can't figure it out soon. I though it may have been an issue with Verizon not recognizing the phone. Will try to edit the build prop
Moto x 2014 on Verizon had the same problem. Thread died out so maybe they found a solution

I know this doesn't help, but I have no problem with MMS on At&t. I use YAATA as my MMS app.
Just wanted to add - Im on VZW as well, same low res images, I've only tried Google Messenger so far, and I agree would be a deal breaker for me.
This used to happen on other Phones if I used CM12.1, as it was a known bug, and I couldn't handle using CM becuase of it.
its verizon reducing the quality of the image in order to reduce its data footprint. Very doubtful its a problem just with the moto x

The quality of MMS on my Nexus 6 isn't that great a lot of the time. How much worse is this? Are the pictures unusable?
you know, at first I was just somewhat annoyed by this, but after getting some over the last two days, it may be a deal breaker. The pictures are over saturated and grainy, and generally look like s#*t. If this is just " how it is", coupled with the other Verizon issues (no HD calling, no video chat) I may have to take a pass...

FYI - I think HD Calling works fine? - "enhanced 4g LTE mode" is on for me, you may have to call vzw to get it to work (I had to with Nexus 6), b/c it won't be turned on unless they mark you with a phone that they know is compatible. (also have to add it to your account, although its free).
But I agree, the photo quality is so low that you can't use them for anything, blurry photos.
The photo's are coming through at between 10-20kb, completely unusable.

Is this something I can enable on my account page on myvzw?
Also the mms image quality is at an all time low. Any way to edit build.prop for better mms?
Edit: Sending mms isn't a problem. Sent mms to wife and her galaxy s6 received the image at around 720kb.
Sent me an mms and it comes in at 17kb.
I am rooted. So, if their is a root method to fixing this, that would be great.

When I tried to enable online it said I had to call in, so I did and was fine.
Yes I agree - I found a discussion for HTC phones where someone was manually editing mms.apk to allow for higher total, I didn't see anywhere on how to actually do it, or am I technical enough to do it.
Currently using MXP rooted on Textra and have not had an issue with mms. Granted my mom's phone is a POS but they're coming in at ~110-170 kbs
Also using Textra and get pics at 100-200 in size. Perhaps it's the default messaging app?

It has done that to me too, but only after I restored messages from a back-up. This image compression thing has never happened until the V20. My G3, G4 and V10 never had this issue. Thinking google messed some sh*t up in updating it. The latest version has a new icon and also seems to have a lower dpi now, or it matches what ever the user has set in nougat's new dpi changer.. Looks kinda like a mini overhaul.

Did that to me at unrooted stock with a clean database on Shamu. Did it to others so I heard with my contacts in the Shamu dev scene.

Believe me, I hear ya. Its been frustrating the hell out of me. And even more disappointing its still happening on the new phone I'll have next week.'
Anyway I didn't do much research once I noticed it, but once I saw this thread, the only common denominator would be Nougat. We'll see if anyone else chimes in. I like Google Messenger too, hopefully it gets sorted out.

The SIM actually comes out in this if you take it apart enough. You can replace with any SIM of your choosing. The real problem is that the phone is limited on bands as it is just LTE band 13. Let's say you succeeded in adding bands, you would still have an issue entering APN settings as this menu is restricted.
Without root you cannot add any bands. i did this with my tmobile lg g3 back in the day. while complicated it did work.
Has anyone rooted this watch?
Adding bands to qualcomm you must patch rmt-storage or any modifications to the bands will revert
then you have to enable APN menu as adding new APN is disabled on this firmware.
Since this watch was available at $80, a lot of people jump in to get one. Hopefully with time we get more developers to be involve. I'm looking to replace the bands. As of now I don't care about LATE. But I wish we can enable NFC for Android pay

For now you can just disable the Message+ app in System apps. Also disable the cellular radio.

Bt is phone audio. I'll do a reset see if that helps. Hope so because it is a nice watch. Maybe we will get stock wear it soon and have the full potential unlocked.
Tried the reset but no change. Everything seems to work except the mic. Google assist also does not work for texting with ok google. Watch is solid tho.
