Hi all,
Since upgrading to 5.0 OTA I have had a lot of trouble sending/receiving MMS messages. The messages I do receive are very low-res, but usually I can't receive them at all. When I try to send them, about 90% of the time, it just hangs on "sending..." and burns through my battery as it tries for hours to send the picture.
I've tried the following:
clearing cache
Hangouts, Messenger, Stock messaging app
Wifi / not Wifi
Resetting APNs
Toggling airplane mode
Soft reboot
Hard reboot
etc, etc.
It seems to mostly be when I'm at work, which is weird because I have full 4G service while I'm here (I work in downtown Portland, not exactly the boonies) It happens other times, too, but while at work it's far more prevalent.
No problems sending/receiving texts.
Does anyone have a potential solution?
Thanks.
Bumping this - I'm getting the exact same issue. Very frustrating and I can't figure out how to get around it.
Same here. Posted similar thread. Troubleshooted everything. Must be a lollipop issue unfortunately
Hey guys I have an lg urbane 2 and I recently downloaded textra to my phone. The problem I have with it is that at first the watch was receiving the text and after a day or so it stopped receiving texted but I still get phone calls, is there a setting I need to turn on or something for it to stay active to keep receiving texts ? Also my watch is connected to att sync when I don't have my phone on me.
Let me start by saying that this started around the 3rd of the month. I've looked everywhere and every possible solution I have found does not work.
I have the ATT version of the LG Watch Sport and I am using it on T-Mobile with a Digits SIM. However, I mostly just use it through bluetooth on my phone and not directly on 4g.
I have NEVER had a problem before where my phone is connected to 4G and connected to my watch through bluetooth, with using Google Assistant to text someone or make a call. Recently however, trying to get Google Assistant to register or even work unless my phone or watch is connected to internet is impossible.
I have reset the watch and started over. I have tried resetting phone and watch. I have tried updating all apps and I have tried rolling back some apps., but I have not found a solution. I get notifications from texts and email but cannot respond via watch or use google to send texts, etc.
Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution for this?
Hi,
I just got a Mi 9 today and everything works fine (i can receive phone calls normally..) but i noticed that there was a problem with sms messages : i only receive some messages (not all of them) and the ones that arrive are delayed.
And i don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, WeChat...)
I checked the SMSC and it was correct.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks

There are a couple settings you might want to change. If you enable Developer Options there is a Toggle called mobile data always active. Some phones (like those from Google) have this enabled by default. If it's not already enabled I click that setting on. I have never noticed additional data usage on any phone as a result of that being enabled--it just allows for faster network switching.
In WiFi settings you probably have an option to stay connected to WiFi while your phone is asleep. I always enable that as well.
You are probably getting delayed SMS and notifications because the data connection is off when your phone is sleeping--and if your phone is connected to WiFi but your carrier doesn't support WiFi texts then you won't receive texts until your data connection is reestablished.
I would like to bump this subject.
I just purchased a Mi 9 and I have the very same problem as the OP.
Following jhs39 indications didn't help.
Appreciate all the help

SMS does not arrive through DATA connection, as far as I know. It uses plain old GPRS signal. Data is for internet.
Same for me. don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, Facebook. etc

What about APN's?!
Did You check this?!
There must be two APN's, one for data connection (internet) and other of MMS messages only.

I´m having the exact same issue with the Xiaomi Mi 9 T Pro, I can receive SMS from another numbers, but I'm not able to receive sms from big companies (Xiaomi account, Whastapp, Steam) I know is the phone because I put my SIM card on my old phone, and all the company SMS where going through just fine!
Does someone knows the solution from this? I really wanted to use Xiaomi but is getting really difficult and really frustrating at the same time :/
I have a similar problem.
I don't use a Xiaomi's account, so I haven't noticed that problem.
My problem is with Google verification sms.
I don't receive them, or they come much later than they used to on my old phone.

someone managed to solve? My cell phone was working normally and a week ago stopped receiving sms from applications and companies. Please if anyone knows help
I have the same problem since last Thursday... but in my case, it only happens when the SMS is sent from a foreign Phone number; if somebody from my country sends me a SMS it works fine (and, of course, I am able to send SMSs to my country and foreign countries without any problem).
I had the same problem... but i was connected to my VPN.. once i disconnected from the VPN.. everything worked fine
as for me i get sms but NOT MMS. i have defiantly tried a ton of apns and no MMS
Xiaomi is becoming a headache
I have realized that Xiaomi seems to be a good smartphone (mine is a Redmi Note 8 Pro), but at the end it is a very problematic one. Mine never connects to 4G LTE and my SIM card is a valid one which works fine with other phones (Samsung S8, Samsung J7 Neo, Moto G5 plus and Huawei Y7). I have done everything possible that I have read in the internet and I don't get to fix it. I'm about to give up ...
I just got my A71. Currently using it here in the US on Tmobile.
For some reason, on Google Messages app, messages are stuck in sending when I am connected to wifi. If I disconnect, the messages will go through. I reconnect the wifi and sometimes the first 1-2 messages go through but then it gets hung up again. Can anyone else try and confirm if this is an issue as well?
I tried resetting network settings.
Using the native Samsung message app doesnt seem to have issue.
I even thought it had something to do with transfer my old data from my Android 9 phone to this A71 that is on Androidn 10, so I just factory reset the A71 and just installed the google messages app, still the same issue.
