I can receive a text with my WiFi "ON" and Connected and my Network Data "OFF" but I can't receive a Text with a Picture attached to Text with this Setup. I have to have Network Data "ON" to get the Attachment,is this Normal?
Thanks

pic messaging requires data connection. messaging doesn't. I'm pretty sure wifi doesn't replace data connection for pic messaging.

Thanks. I was just wondering if that was the deal or if I just need to change a setting.

Same here. I am around WiFi 90% of the time so I always keep Data Connection Off. I do have Tasker App, I wonder if I could construct some Profile for Turning Data ON with Messaging.

Is there any way to disable the mobile network on the Nexus One?
On the HTC Hero there was an widget to set the mobile network on/off!
And in the system settings there was a checkbox, but on the Nexus One i dont find any of this...
i think your looking for apndroid
look for it in market
I've tried it but the mobile connection is not disconnected.
The apndroid changes the APN settings and add "apndroid" to it, but this makes no difference for me... the mobile connection is on and i am surfing
Is there no system setting?
how is dat possible? if the apn is called something else surely u cant surf using ure phone
goto the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and you will see settings there to turn off the cellular data connection.
no he's right, apn droid doesn't do **** on the n1. at least when I tried. and yes. i rebooted. don't know how it figures out the connection with apndroid appended to its parameters... what I do is just delete the APN's compeltely
So there is no way to disable the mobile connection from the system...
Very strange because on my HTC Hero there was such an option and widget.
I use Locale and want to disable the mobile connection in the night.
Flightmode is not usable for me because the telephone should ring, only the wifi and mibile connection should be off.
JuiceDefender has a home screen widget to disable the apn
Thanks but JuiceDefender has one added a Note:
Might not work on CDMA phones w/ Android 2.1
Very sad :-(

if you read my post, type *#*#4636#*#* and it will take you to a special settings menu. you can disable data there.
Thanks i know this but i want a app or a widget
Been looking for one also...

Sorry, i have an Alltel Milestone(Droid)
Not a verizon..
I dont see Apn as an option.
APN = Access Point Names
Should be there
Sorry, apn isn't an option anywhere.
In mobile networks settings there is only:
Data enabled
Data Roaming
System Select
That's it.
bump..
anyone else gotta any tips?
Try playing around with the settings, you are missing what is essentially the master setting for MMS messages

hmm,
you do know you posted question in a GSM area of Milestone?
you have a CDMA droid phone right?
so maybe try droid development?
i have the milestone, not the droid, still it isn't working with EclairMODv3b. even when i was playing with the MMS settings.
Hello, whenever somebody sends me a picture on the normal messaging app i can never open it.
When i press download, it says downloading but it never finishes. It just says 'downloading'. Is there a way to fix the problem? I dont want to use any third party app.
Thanks!

First, check your data plan is open before download the MMS. MMS can not download without data plan.
Second, if you using any firewall ie droidwall, android firewall etc. Give permission for messaging app to use data/ 3g.
Hope this help..

Is anyone having problems with auto retrieve. I have it turned on but when someone sends me a picture I just a notification and I have to manually turn on my data and hit download.
Any suggestions?
It's my understanding that it should just manually turn on my data and download it.
Also shouldn't my data turn on right away when trying to send an MMS instead of me having to turn it on manually?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Hahah thank you
And no I'll have my wifi off. Nope no Wanam settings are checked. I'm in an LTE area and I have Auto Retrieve on. I have my roomate send me a group message and picture and it just gives me a notification with the button to download.
It's suppose to just automatically download right?
Also if I'm in a group message and I send an MMS without my data on should it turn it on automatically?
I'm used to CM MMS so I don't know Touchwiz too well.
I dont believe data will turn on automatically if you have it turned off. Youd have to manually re-enable data , remember a text message is sent via the network "voice" carrier while mms is sent as data which is why you can still send texts with data turned off. Your saying that with group messaging it gives a notification, how bout just a regular message picture? Under normal circumstances if you have auto retrieve on it will download it by itself though. Did you change APN settings by any chance?

Yeah a regular picture message just comes up as the download button and I have to turn on my data and hit download.
Nope APN settings are the same.

If it's not too much trouble would you mind pulling SecMMS.apk and uploading it?
I tried to put an AOSP messaging app in my system and forgot to backup.

This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?
