MMS Issues (Verizon)

[LiquidHonesty]

Anyone else having issues sending MMS via anything other than the stock app? I've used Textra, Evolve, and now Google's messenger and none will send MMS nor receive MMS, I have to open the stock app on the phone to get them. I actually went a week not knowing it was happening until someone mentioned they had sent me a pic, so I opened the stock messaging app and showed I had a lot of MMS I hadn't even received.

I revoked permissions from the stock app, reinstalled the other app, even etc, but still nada, can't send/receive MMS at all.

Thoughts?

I am using YAATA no issues, but I did not disable the stock app or verizon messenger+ because my watch uses verizon messenger+

I haven't disabled anything, and it still doesn't work. I have given every app all the permissions they needs (stock messenger, google messenger, etc) yet it still won't send MMS in Evolve, or Google Messenger........ONLY the stock LG Messenger.

Anyone have any more ideas?

Actually ive had issues with mine on occasion using Textra. Tells me that my APN settings are not working or something like that. Mines AT&T variant though. Idk whats up but its annoying as hell.
But after like 10 minutes it works just fine again.

Did you buy it from Verizon? In other words is it the Verizon model, or just being used in Verizon?

I've had the same issue. The weird thing is it started out working fine - I'd installed Google Messenger and I received mms group texts just fine for a couple days, but now every mms message just says "downloading"...

Same issue here, with Verizon phone. Also worked fine for first week or so using Google Messenger. Now neither that nor LG Messages apps can send/receive MMS - only Verizon Messages+ works.

I can't figure that one out, why it worked initially... I haven't taking the OTA, and I didn't really do anything that should have changed that, it just up and quit...

I've had luck getting Textra to work. There's an MMS Behavior option in there - Legacy appears to work (I think that's the default), system does not, then it's all just perpetually downloading...

correction: apparently LG Messaging and Verizon Message+ both work. Google Messenger and Google Hangouts do not. Guess I'll try some other 3rd party apps...

Same here: Legacy option works, System option does not.

Textra and Evolve neither worked for me

I've used Textra on my VZW V20 since day one.. ZERO issues.

 

[LiquidHonesty]

GOSMS works, as long as you have it set to "legacy".

What's maddening is Textra used to work fine, but then just stopped.

UPDATE: Uninstalled all 3rd party messaging apps, rebooted, reinstalled Textra.......working again. YAHOO!!!!!!!!

Not working h918 on att settings correct no mms

This is the solution. Download YAATA, navigate to Settings > MMS and manually configure the APN using the settings posted by dwertz (see post #2).
