sms issues - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Some times my texts don't send and i have to toggle airplane mode to have them go through.
Also the recipients tell me they receive my messages twice
Is anyone else having issues like this?
On tmobile and problems occured with both Oneplus messaging app and googles android messages

Might be something in the APN you are using. I would check with Tmobile and see if the APN is configured the way they recommend

mms dissapearing, no notification

Hello.
I have problem receiving mms. I have my APN for internet and mms set up according to my provider settings I got from them. I was able to send mms, so I guess my mms APN works. But I can not receive mms.
When my friend sent me mms, I got my phone vibrating. There was no sound although I have it set to sound. I get sound for sms. I went to messaging app, but there was no evidence of mms. We tried that again, I could even see something like "Unknown: MMS received" (or something along those lines) but the notification did not stay in notification bar and the message was again nowhere to be found in messaging app. I also tried ChompSMS and HandecentSMS. No change. While testing, we send maybe 10 mms, and one of them actually made it to my messaging inbox and I was able to view it. Others just vibrated couple of times (I guess network was trying to deliver them again when failed before).
I am on G1, T-Mobile Slovakia and CyanogenMod4
Anyone knows solution please?
Thanks.
p.s. I also tested making sure my 3g data is on and working.
Just for the future reference. It was HandcentSMS doing this. After uninstall, stock app works just fine.

MMS problems?

So, I realized yesterday that my phone does not receive picture messages, I can send then just fine, as well as sms. I can even receive sms messages fine. I called tmo yesterday and they had me delete the "telkila" (sp?) apn to no avail.then they had me do wipe/factory reset. After all that I still don't receive mms. I'm out of town and plan to call them this afternoon when I get back home, but before I do, I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem or maybe has any suggestions. Rooted, using handcent sms...
Sent from myTouch 4G using XDA app
I cannot send MMS and have not received any so IDK if people have tried to send me any or not otherwise I would be sure I had recieving MMS problems as well...
I can send and recieve SMS fine though..
I just sent an MMS (I think it went through...)...I think it depends on the method...it didnt work when I view the picture, tap on it, select the SEND OUT icon and then I tap Messages....
it DID work when I did this method:
I had the SMS open, clicked the PaperClip icon, attached the picture, then input the persons name....
weird? -maybe the expresso UI is interfering with froyos native mms ability?

time lag

I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.

Disable convert SMS in MMS

Hello,
I would like to know how I can disable the automatic conversion sms in mms from the stock application without root?
1. Unless you're messaging a group, SMS won't be converted to MMS.
2. The default Messages app also supports RCS on most networks (e.g. on my Vodafone HU model, it received and displayed RCS messages with ease), so that might also be happening in your case.
Any ideas how to disable this SMS to MMS?
Even longer message to only one person results in conversion to MMS. I want to disabe this whout root. Thank you for any tips.
My problem is SMS messages to one recipient always automatically to MMS. All the others go normally. I'd like to stop this one from converting as I usually don't have data on and don't wont to turn it on only to send one message. I'm using the S8 with the Samsung messaging app.
i have the same problem, when my text exceeds the 3 sms it automatically converts to mms.. I know someone with the samsung J5 and on this phone it doesn't converts..
I would of thought it would be possible on the S8, but i can't seem to find any settings for this.
Is there any way to stop the conversion to mms?
If I remember correctly, than Samsung devices with 6.0 or older allowed you to write 10 SMS, before it converts to MMS. With 7.0 and newer it allows only 3. It's very annoying for me, because when I type in my language, with specialized characters, one SMS is about 60 symbols. It's very, very frickin annoying.
There use to be an Xposed module for this, but it doesn't work on Samsung's with 7.0+.
Any fix for this?
yes a fix would be great even with root. because sms is free mms is not!

MMS keep becoming individual SMS, any solution?

All my MMS group messages become individual SMS so if I begin a group message, it gets sent to everyone individually instead of one group message. It's fairly annoying and I tried 2 different Roms with stock kernal and the same thing happened. Is there some solution or something I'm missing?
Look arround your provider APN settings, i think your APN is generic and some settings are miss
All the settings look appropriate for t-mobile it appear
The defualt OP texting app doesnt have mms functionality. Just install a 3rd party app to send mms like textra or android messages.
Switch to Textra App. Download it. And make sure to go to Textra Settings ->Group Messaging -> Chat. Works perfectly.
