[Q] Unable to send texts using voice - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When trying to send a text (SMS) using voice, after dictating the message and saying send it says 'sending message' and then 'message sent' but it never does, if you open the messaging app the text is not there, is anyone else having this problem?
Sending an email works fine, along with getting directions only the messaging (SMS) doesn't seem to work.
I wonder if it is because it is a dual SIM, although I have SIM2 turned off and it set to send via SIM1 as default but it also doesn't work if I change the settings or if I change the default SMS app to Hangouts.
Does anyone else's work?

N1, Handcent, Google Voice, myTouch 3G

*sorry for the rambling, trying to provide as much information as possible*
When I configure my Google Voice (GV) app, the SMS from Handcent all come thru my Google Voice number. By doing this, I'm able to ensure that multi-part messages are received by the recipient in proper order.
My girlfriend has the myTouch 3G. When she uses her Handcent with GV not configured her multi-part messages show up in my Handcent out of order. When she downloads and configures GV, any messages she sends from GV show her GV number and any she sends through Handcent show her phone's number. The text's she sends thru GV show up in order, which is nice, but she really enjoy's using Handcent.
Does anyone know how to configure her Handcent so it sends SMS thru her GV number?
PS - I find it odd that the multi-part messages I receive in MY Handcent aren't combined. I have that checked in the Handcent settings, but it's not performing that operation.
PSS - If there's another messaging app that achieves sending and receiving SMS messages in the proper order AND combines them without the need of GV, my girlfriend would probably be willing to switch. I just hope the issue isn't t-mobile's services screwing up the order of the SMS messages.

Group messages in ICS?

I'll admit that I don't use group messages or MMS (just regular text messages), so this one has me baffled.
I can send and receive regular individual text messages just fine. No problems there.
However, my supervisor, who is using an iPhone, sends out group text messages. Those come to me as 1K MMS messages (with a "Download" button in GoSMS Pro, or a "Downloading..." icon in stock Messaging). When I click on the "Download" icon in GoSMS Pro, it just sits and spins ad infinitum, and never turns into a message.
How do I get incoming group text messages to display properly?
Is this an APN issue, a messaging client issue, or a system setting issue?
Thanks in advance.

MMS on AT&T Not Working

I have a branded and rooted Nexus 6. Everything is working fine. I'm using the default Nxtgenphone APN. No problem with SMS messaging or group messaging as MMS.
I'm trying to send and receive picture MMS. Using the Messenger app, I get a cannot send message; tap to retry. Switching to Hangouts gets me a MMS message cannot be stored.
Anyone have this problem and can offer a solution?
For now. I'll say this problem has gone away. I rebooted and all is well.
MMS not working properly
Had the same problem when i try to send a picture message on my n6 i could receive but cant send them on the android app i installed textra and i could send mms again thats weird
Swap your Sim card , had the same issue on T-Mobile.
I had issues with mms on Straight Talk with AT&T sim. I disabled stock messenger and I installed the CM12 stock messenger which looks practically the same and now mms works with no issues. Here is the link for the direct download. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2PiSOTXR691dUpwdjBUcnkxSms/edit

facebook messenger mms photos appear for split second then disappear

hello all,
i've been trying to setup facebook messenger as my default text messaging app (meaning sms and mms). i seem to have no trouble sending out and receiving sms messages, but i do not receive mms messages that others send to me, and when i send one out to others, it appears for a split second, then disappears. my app defaults show facebook messenger as the default sms app.

This is an old post, so I hope you found a solution for it. I'm having the same issue an I found if you send it with text or the person sending it includes text it shows up. That's the only fix for it I've found.

On Facebook messenger you can't, but on other sms apps you can. Like on gosms you can include text with the pic which stops it from disappearing. I wouldn't recommend gosms cuz of the ads. I just have an old copy from Titanium back up that I use with no ads. Besides that you have to stick to the sms that comes with it or go with a good sms with no ads an just include text with the pic, unfortunately a person sending you an mms without text, the pic will just dissappear.

Question Not receiving messages

Not sure why I can't receive messages. Im using Android Messages and I'm able to send out messages but don't seem to be receiving them? (Sms) I'm in Verizon. I have the Chinese version. Im able to send out calls and receive them too, but I'm not receiving messages. Any help?
Make sure chat features are turned off on the last phone you used.
allow all permissions for the app and the app set as default
