Are those the steps for Android 5/Lollipop? I don't see any of those menus in settings.
edit: Ah it's in the actual hangouts app that you have to go to settings. Also if those settings are greyed out then you might not have Hangouts handling your SMS messages, so run the Messaging app instead and go to its settings to disable auto open of MMS.
- dan-silver 11y agoAny idea why the auto retrieve mms checkbox would be checked and disabled so I can't uncheck it?
- tdicola 11y agoYeah that threw me for a loop too, I think it's because Hangouts isn't configured to handle SMS for you. Check the Messaging app and its settings. It has a similar disable auto retrieve MMS setting.
- ams6110 11y agoMessaging on my Moto G (Android 4.4.4) does not have this setting. Edit: Messaging (default app) doesn't have this setting, but Messenger does. I tried Hangouts for awhile but didn't like it.
- gcb0 11y agonobody does. but Google is trying hard to make you use it by deprecating the gvoice app. now if you want to make calls from your gvoice number, you must use hangouts. funny how they think forcing newer apps is the solution to the g+fiasco
- thisisit 11y agoMessaging on Moto G2 (Lollipop) does have this setting under MMS. Disabled it from there.
