I seem to be getting a notification to say I have a message but when I check the message it just says downloading. So I rang vodafone and got them to send me the APN details and re-entered them. Got my friend to resend the message and it worked.
The day after the same thing has happened - I have not changed my APN so not sure why this is happening. Standard messaging app on cyanogen latest. Did a bit of searching but all seems to be related to APN issues and activation which I know this isn't.
wtf
So the same person sent me an mms and it came through with the other one above it still saying downloading... :S
I have this problem recently also. He never got an answer. Is there a fix?
Edit: I came from a clean wipe and I'm using "Blue Magic MKllr1".
Same here, I have to turn my wifi on then I can download it which is strange because my internet is out but seems to trigger the 3g to download it not a fix by any means but it may help someone out.
And yes I have mms activated and all the rest, as the OP stated been there tried that apn wise and mine also went the same way, one day it work and next it didn't
This also happens to me... but it only happens when I get a message from a Verizon phone.
This is a strange problem, when I first flashed a ROM on my G1
I remember not having any data connection at all.
I had to use wifi for any data transfers, and to Sign in with Google.
Upon reboot though everything was setup right, you should check
if it's a bug with your ROM.
Still didn't fix. It's the same on edge, 3g and wifi.
I use to have this problem and it was frustrating to manually switch between using MMS APN and 3G APN. Try this....
in Your 3G APN, under the APN type, type in "default"
in Your MMS APN, under APN type, type in "mms" and make sure your "Proxy" and "Port" settings are also entered under MMS proxy and MMS port.
After putting these things in, I can automatically switch between MMS and 3G and the downloading will actually start downloading and not just remain stagnant with nothing to show. Hope this works.
Sorry if it does not because I am not in the States. But let me know how it goes
I didn't know the apn settings for U.S. T-mobile so I tried a work around that worked! i flashed the base htc rom, then newest cynagen, then fastest 3.0.3, then Blue Magic MKllr1, then metamorphed an expresso theme. All no wipe. MMS works! I still would love to know what goes wrong from one rom to the next.
I apologize for reviving an old thread but from a quick search, I didn't see anyone with the solution I figured out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G on TMO and this same exact thing happened to me. Someone sent me a picture MMS and it got stuck on downloading. I tried enabling and disabling Wifi, made sure I had 4G, etc.... Nothing worked. The MMS they sent me still said "Downloading" and was stuck. There was no way to abort/redownload/etc. Meanwhile, I could send/receive other MMS just fine.
Finally, I tried going into the messaging settings and disabling auto-retrieve. When I went back to the thread, lo and behold, there was now a download button!! I hit it and presto, the MMS downloaded!
Hope someone finds use from this.

Thanks, had this issue on my Samsung Mesmerize and found this thread googling. worked for me.
Thank You sooo MUCH! this was annoying the heck out of me, but your method fixed it:}
Another bump, this was the fix. I had data disabled to save battery when an MMS came in. It was forever "downloading". Data on/off, reboot phone, didn't matter. Flipped it to manual download, turned on data, and hit download. It came right through.
hmmm
Im on a rogers.captivate running apex 11 i believe. None of these fixes worked for me.
same here: i'm on 4.0.4 AOSP (although a samsung note, but as said: AOSP)
and a mms from a girl-friend is stuck with "downloading". none of the above will make the "downloading" disappear. sending and receiving of other mms work fine. guess i have the same issue with the initially wrong APN settings!
anyone has an idea how to reset the downloading?
I know its an old thread but if anyone searches to here....go into settings and uncheck auto download mms...then go back and there will be a download button, click it and boom...itll start downloading. Then go back and recheck auto download.
Can't receive mms attachment pics with Inspire 4g after full wipe

Disabling the auto-retrieve definitely works! Thank you. I was having trouble getting all of the pics my wife was sending me
My daughter is away at college and I helped her install Froyo on her Captivate. All but one thing works and it confuses me. I sent her a photo I took w/ my phone, and though she received the message, she's unable to view the photo.
Could somebody give me some things to have her check?
Thanks
By any chance did the message that she received come from her cell provider, stating that she received a picture message? I had the same thing happen and it turned out that I didn't have the "extra" mms picture/video package from my provider which didn't allow me to view the pictures or messages that ppl sent me from my phone. I had to log on to some website to see them. Not sure if this is the issue, just throwing it out out there.

I have my entire family on a data plan. All of us can send and receive text w/ pic messages at any time. She can no longer do this with the upgrade to 2.2.
hmm, that doesn't seem right. I had 2.2 and I was able to receive pictures so I can't see it being froyo. I would call her provider and let them know the issue. Sorry I couldn't be more help
edit: If she already hasn't done so, I would probably also do a Factory Reset, sometimes that helps clear up some bugs when upgrading
I had this same issue where pictures/video clips would not send/receive. This service goes via MMS (3G data) while voice & text via GSM/CDMA, i believe. I had a battery saving app called "JuiceDefender" that was turning off my 3G receiver (to save 'juice').. by doing so, MMS which requires 3G could not send/receive pictures or video clips. Make sure you can see the "3G" icon at top... just something to check.
Ok, I've got something odd going on and to be honest I'm not sure if it's a T-Mobile Nexus 6 based issue or something on the other end (Oneplus One).
I have one contact in particular that can receive sms and mms messages from me with no issue but I can only receive mms messages from him. If it's a standard sms I never get it. It's really odd. Considering he can get both types from me but not the other way around makes me wonder if the issue is on my end.
I just updated to 5.1.1 and still no change. This was with a factory reset and not restoring the old data either (so nothing corrupted came from the update).
This happens regardless of what messaging program I use (Textra, stock messaging app, etc).
Anyone have any suggestions?
I would expect it to be more network than phone. Try and get a test sim from another provider in your phone.
I'm very surprised nobody else has posted about this...I cannot get MMS to work with either my AT&T or my Verizon SIM card. I've checked APN settings for both, and both look perfect.
It shows that I've received a message, and I have an option to click download, but it never downloads and after a few hours I get a notification saying "Message not downloaded."
Does anybody have any insight?
That is literally the only quirk I have with this phone. Beyond that, it's by far the best device I've ever owned.

Thanks, but unfortunately not helpful. I've already been through the APN settings. Email doesn't solve the problem of receiving MMS messages from people.
same issue, all apn settings are accurate, only problem on this phone.

Can you screenshot your APN settings

I'm not on AT&T but the issue is the same. Have exact same APN settings I do in 3 other phones that work flawlessly.
Use textra.
I couldn't get it to work in hangouts.
Use textra and make sure to check mms behaviour "system"
No need for apn settings
I'm on at&t straight talk and this definitely works
What is "MMS behavior system" is that a setting in Textra.

You never turn on MMS? Holy ****. What's the point of having a almost $1000 cell phone if you have to use email in place of MMS?

For some reason UK charges on MMS are ridiculous, well at least on my network.
For whatever reason, it started working. I only did one thing; I disabled my number 1 sim and made number 2 my primary data (1 was AT&T and 2 was Verizon.) I also made sure my WiFi was disabled before I started. Then I reversed the change, and all of a sudden every missing MMS started downloading, and I got them all.
No idea if what I did made a difference, or how, or even if it will stay working, but thought maybe somebody would like to give it a shot.

I actually don't know anyone who's using MMS around me, and I thought it's an outdated tech just like SMS. I live in UK also, maybe it's just not that popular here. Why would you use MMS when you have all these new chating apps which you can send anything you want for free (as long as you have data)?
Yo. I work for ATT and have the att nxtgenphone APN settings. Works fine.
Let me know if you need them.
.
I'd also download pulse. Let it set up then if you don't like it switch back to your preferred SMS app. That worked for me.
I'm using AT&T and can receive MMS. Group texts are another issue (they're simply unsupported by xiaomi across MIUI, google), but pictures and what not works fine. I use the default "ATT Phone" which comes preloaded. It works fine and allows 4G.
Im on ATT and it seems like I can't receive MMS, but I can send them. Can someone who this works for post their APN settings?
Edit: nxtgenphone works. Turns out Facebook Messenger was just ****ing it up for me. When it's my default SMS app, I can't receive or send MMS. Does anyone know what is up with that? I've had MMS problems on 3 phones now with Messenger...
Group texting...

Did not know this was a issue...I got the mi mix a week ago and have been trying different messaging apps, even gave up project fi... all because Group Texting was not working. I got picture messages to work, but the group texting simply won't work. Is there a workaround? Even potentially getting it to work with a different ROM?

Only messaging app that works for MMS group messages is TEXTRA
I'm having the same issue with both Verizon and T-mobile, nor does MMS or group SMS work. The interesting thing is that I'm also having issue with VoLTE (can't get online while on the phone), I'm wondering if it's related.
Hi guys,
Can y'all please try NEXT SMS and see if it work. Once you downloaded, open the app and inn the top left drop down, select More, then hit Setting, then select All on the right side, select MMS setting, then enter your carrier MMSC and PORT only. Carrier setting= Manual. Ok the bottom, or a check mark for using data for mms. Custom user agent= iPhone. Mms framework= smart.
Hope this help, it worked for me on Verizon

Has anyone else on T-Mobile have trouble sending/receiving MMS messages over cellular? I'll get a notification that I got a photo to download, but it just sits there spinning. If I tried to send a photo it just sits there on the sending part.
However, if I get on WiFi it's fine. Just cellular. On Android Messenger. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey TJK..........
Did you use the APN settings mentioned here? Scroll down to "Android APN settings". If your settings don't match those, then create a NEW APN and copy over everything EXACTLY as written on that site (which is OFFICIAL T-Mobile btw), then Save, then restart your phone to be safe. Then ask someone you know to text you a pic (aka MMS) and if you receive it, you're good. You could also try sending that person a pic if you like, but I bet if one works the other will too.
Note: For the APN Type line, make sure you have NO spaces after each comma.
That's weird about it only happening on cellular, but anyway, try all that and let me know what happens.
Good luck!
I didn't have any issues when I was on T-Mo. I have quite a few contacts that refuse to use anything other than standard texting, so I end up with a lot of MMS messages.
