Recieving MMS.. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys. So im realizing when people send me pictures. You have to click the download button. Well when I click it. It does not download and I can not recieve the pictures. In fact, it doesnt even download. Any way to fix this?

Just realized my pics arent sending either.. what goes on here?

Just sent and received a picture message(With Wifi on). Sounds like it might just be a problem with your phone/connection
**Your phone should Automatically Turn on Mobile Data when Sendin or Receiving MMS Messages while Wifi is active. If this is not happening you may want to Call Customer Care.**
Another thing that may be affecting this is bad Signal

Well i came to the conclusion that i have to be on 4g.. i was tying to send and receive pics under wifi.. how come it does not work under wifi? or is it just me?

Same thing is happening to me. Sending and receiving pics only works when 3g\4g is on rather than Wifi

This has always happened with me with every phone i had. Including from different carriers. I always thought this was normal.

Quite normal. Of course Mobile Data has to be on. No phone can send a message through wifi and have it delivered through the carrier
Edit
However, even with WIFI on your phone should start and stop mobile Data to send and receive MMS messages. If yours is not doing this, then you may want to call Customer Care.
Another possible reason for why this is happening is that you may have a very weak or bad signal.

I noticed I have this issue too while I am at home and have wifi turned on. A lot of times pictures will half load or be distorted. Is wifi what is causing this?
Yea for some reason pics do not load properly on wifi... I see it all the time since I work for sprint.... its an easy fix usually. Just turn off wifi and try to redownloadit and it should work

Why you should turn off MMS auto retrieve

I've learned my lesson. Lol.

Do you have a lot of people send you pictures? I have never had an issue with the messaging system using that much cpu.

I had data off and my friend sent me a picture of clouds for some reason. Really important. Then that happened.

That's why it happened cause you had data off. Messaging knew it needed to download a pending image but couldn't, so just sat there waiting indefinitely.
That's strange, I would think that he messaging app would just wait until you activated your data again. Not constantly trying to download the picture.

New thread: Why you shouldn't have data off! :silly:
Yeah I see a lot of people that have problems when the turn off data. I understand it saves a little battery but it causes a lot of issues.

Some carriers (T-Mobile) don't use the regular data connection for MMS. Until I got this phone I did not have a data plan and still received MMS like any other text message.
I have auto retrieve off and if I don't download the mms right away it still keeps my phone awake
Next time, tell em to email pics. Lol

Yeah! Why does anyone use MMS anyway? lol
Maybe he didn't have a smartphone. But even basic phones can email these days.
Hope this thread is still alive, I didn't wanna make another topic.
So I have my data off all the time because it saves SOOO much battery, every now and then someone will send me a pic though, I have auto retrieve on, but when I get the notification, and turn on my data, it won't download the image until they send me another picture. :/
would having auto retrieve off fix this? Or is this some other kind of issue?

Friend not recieving msgs?!?!?!

She's lying lol
Sounds to me like the problem is on her end not yours.
If texting everyone else works fine except for texting to her.....

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.

[Q] Can't receive MMS while on WiFi

Just like the title says. I'm using Wicked's V.5 with UVLI8. I've looked at other threads with other devices and I've seen no resolution.
Any ideas?

have you ever been able too? b'c on past phones while on wifi the mobile network would kick in to let the mms go Thru or come in then go back to wifi when it was done
Check if wifi calling is on. If it is turn it off and it should work.

Seems like a work-around. I'll test, but still, it's a pain to have to turn wi-fi calling off and on to receive a MMS. Why wouldn't I just turn of wi-fi for the moment till the MMS comes thru?
You can do that too. But for many its good enough to be a fix... If you're like me and don't use wifi calling.
I know it sucks, but at least you'll know what's causing it. Maybe if enough people complain they'll fix it.
I've heard some 3rd party apps allow mms to send over wifi and therefore will work with wifi calling.
Tmobile only allows mms to send over data connection.

Are you sure? I get pix all the time at home and I'm showing 100% without signal. 0 bars but still the triangle. This is with Wi-Fi calling always on. Stock and xquizit.
Sometimes I do get the "data roaming" lost connection bs and lose Wi-Fi calling.

Similar thing happens to me. Wifi get stuck or conflict with Data signal.
I always turn Network Data off 1st, then turn WiFi on - once WiFi fully loaded => turn data on. That way it prevent wifi conflict. Works for me.

You might be partially right lol. There was a thread about turning mobile data off and that killed MMS over WiFi. All I know is that I'm able to send and receive MMS at home and I have no cell signal. There's no way the MMS are going through the cell tower. Technically speaking I do have some sort of signal. Even though it says no signal it's a blank triangle and not the circle with a line through it. It's enough to register with the network I guess...
I think I need sleep too. Turning WiFi off gave me the no signal circle. So iono wtf.
I know this has something to do with the custom ROM I'm using (Wicked V.5). I've never seen this issue, and I've been using Androids for 2 years. Even before I flashed Wicked, I had no issues on the same device on the same WiFi network.
Xquizit xD works fine for me.

Weird incoming call problem

When one of my contacts tries to call me, my phone rings and I am only able to see their phone number but not their name. Their phone info will show in this format 1-234-567-8910; oli;63
When I try to call one of my contacts, it acts normal and also shows in the phone logs. I restored the phone to factory settings, but still not able to solve the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem.
Resolved by disable WiFi Calling, wait 60 secs, and turn in back on (if needed)
I Called T-mobile and Tech support sent me couple of SMS and made me turn off and then turn on the phone and called me again and it
seemed to have fixed the problem , but then I realized that problem is fixed from receiving calls from T-mobile numbers or land lines, but the from Verizon number it came with the ;oli;63
This is very strange, hopefully gets fixed soon.
Well I am having another problem now. That is, my phone calls are being rejected automatically when on Wifi calling when the phone is in a deep sleep. I checked under the call settings and changed the auto rejection mode off, but the problem is still there. Can someone else confirm this by chance?

Ready reported it to T Mobile. Not sure if they will fix it soon enough.
Also not getting HD Voice at all.
I have the same issue. I don't have service in my house, so the wifi calling feature is amazing. I've always used a nexus and hard to use third party apps and voips and connect with gv. For the most part if you recognize the number minus the olli, it's no big for now. I'm glad I can still make calls. Update should fix. At least it doesn't happen on reg network.

I called tech support in T Mo and they are sending me a new Note 3. But I doubt that will resolve the issue.

I turned wifi off; but now when a call comes in it is reported as "unknown." could this be an issue with root? would odining back to factory resolve this?

I got a second Note 3 from T Mo and still see the same Caller ID issue along with no HD Voice call capability.
I am returning mine until they fix the bugs (no HD Voice call support, 5Ghz WiFi connection instability, and this Caller ID problem)
I really would like to keep the phone... I love the huge display... but I think I will have to stick with my HTC One for now.
