A couple of CM updates ago, my G1 started having some issues on sending SMS texts. It's been been completely crazy ever since.
Sometimes messages don't get sent, other times they're sent with a huge delay and on the other side, my gf says she's receiving multiple repeated messages from me without it actually appearing on my messaging log.
In other words: she's receiving the same message I had sent the previous day over and over again.
Has anyone had this kind of problem as of late?
Any help is appreciated!
no one has had this problem besides myself?
Sounds extremely weird, and I don't think I've seen it anywhere. Try wiping messagin data and cache from Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Other then that... call and complaint to your provider.

I get the exact same problems!!
Are you in UK too?
Chances are it's the network as opposed to the phone.
Otherwise, I'd try clearing the cache (listed above) and if that fails to rectify the issue, ask others in your area if they have similar issues.
Call up the provider, maybe they can re-register your APNs.

Not far from it. Portugal to be exact.

Problem is G1s aren't sold in Portugal. They never made it. However, I may have changed from my manually configured APN to a predefined one from the CM mod. maybe that's the problem.
Either way, I'll investigate the APN settings and clear the messaging cache and report my results back.
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
So today I switched to Verizon from At&t. I had no issues prior to today with sending pictures or group text. Now I can do neither. :crying:
I've tried talking to Verizon and Google. Both have no solution. I've also tried doing a factory reset and I'm still having the same issue.
Anyone know how to get into the APN settings? I can only get to them via the hangouts app. But it doesn't give all the fields I'm used to seeing in typical APN settings.
Anyone run into this and have a solution?

When you say switched, do you mean you used AT&T on your N6 and switched to a Verizon sim? If so, you need to factory reset. You don't change APN settings on Verizon though, the sim card sets them.

I already tried a factory reset. And I'm still having the same issue. If I'm still having the same issue tomorrow, I'm going to swap the sim card.
I think there is or was a problem with MMS on VZ and using Hangouts or Google Voice. I read somewhere that this was being taken care of by VZ soon.
Yep -- I've been having issues with receiving SMS / MMS messages on Verizon too. Sending works fine (tested and confirmed) but I can't receive anything. It used to work but it hasn't for me since last Wednesday or so.. Maybe they're making changes before they launch the Nexus 6 themselves? Who knows. It caught me off guard though as I used SMS for my Google two factor auth. Had to switch to Google Authenticator because of this.
I use Hangouts and do not have any issues with VZW MMS sending or receiving. I live in Chicagoland.

Just to confirm it's a Hangouts Verizon issue, I'm on the OG Samsung Galaxy Nexus and have been having this issue for roughly a month now. Not sure what prompted it, but it's been plaguing me for some time now.
still have an issue with this?

Not OP, but I have. I had a single SMS message sneak through last night -- much to my surprise. I haven't been able to receive SMS / MMS for about two weeks now. Over that period of time, I have sent myself multiple "test" messages from other numbers as well as other people's phones. Only a single, unrelated text has come through. SMS / MMS works as expected with this SIM in my old Galaxy Nexus. Very odd.
N6 on VZW
I have an N6 o Verizon and I have not had issues with sending or receiving mms or sms and I got my phone almost a month ago. Only thing I don't like is when I'm on a call, if I get group messages or a picture message, I may have to tap to manually download after the call because the phone doesn't do voice and data at the same time.

friend of mine on pure sent me sms and mms this morning and i sent both back from my note 4 and no problems on either end.
Hey guys, I am having a weird issue here. I have had the Nexus 6 for about 2 months now and everything has been working fine. I am using hangouts and have been able to send and receive MMS no problem, up until a few days ago. I now cannot send MMS, but I can receive them. I've pulled the SIM, restarted, tried using Messenger and Handcent. When using Handcent I would get an error about the APN settings. I set them to what Verizon has listed for MMS and it was still erroring out. I am not back on Hangouts and still can't send an MMS message. Any ideas? I guess the next step would be a factory reset...
PS - I am unlocked, rooted, and un-enecrypted running the latest stock OTA ROM.
Bump? Anyone? I am still unable to send MMS. I can receive them just fine though. I did a TWRP factory reset and still was unable to send. I might have to flash back to bone stock or wait until Friday when Verizon officially supports this thing.
I only have ever used Textra on my phone (Verizon, rooted, OTA, encrypted) no texting issues I am aware of.

Thanks for the help.
Tried Textra, no luck (it's beautiful and I will probably stick with it!)...I will start from square 1, hopefully a full reinstall will fix this.
I don't know if you saw it in the options but there is a switch to try to "fix" MMS within Textra . Something to try anyway...
Sent from my Nexus 6
I had a problem for the first time the other day.
It ended up being a host file MOAB (Mother Of all Ad Blockers) I added to Adaway ad blocker app.
Did some googling and it seems others have had the same problem.
Just throwing it out there.
I am hoping to get some input from others. I had the note 2 running CM prior to my Nexus 6. I say this because I don't know if CM ran MMS/group messaging different than stock, but here is the scenario:
When on CM, if I sent or received a group text, all the replies were in the same thread. Very convenient for obvious reasons. However, on my N6, if someone starts/sends me a group message all the replies end up in the same thread. If I start and send a group message, the first message shows one thread with everyone in it, but when people start to reply, each message comes individually and not a part of the group thread.
Is this normal? Is there a way to get all messages in one thread?

DUDE!!! YOU JUST FIXED MY PROBLEM!!!
I disabled the MOAB host file in Ad Away and now I can send!! Did you figure out if there is a specific host file you need to white list to keep MOAB and send MMS?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Can anyone help me with this? I've entered all the correct apn settings and have even made a new apn with the proper access network credentials. I've retarded the phone and honestly don't know what else to do other than going to at&t with a rooted phone. Should I unroot?

Ok did that too. Still not working. I selected it too as resetting it deselect it I suppose.
Still doesn't work...
Should I just unroot my phone? I don't really want to delete all of my data.
FIXED IT
I fixed it. MMS is now sending. Apparently Ad Block Plus would block all my incoming and outgoing MMS data. It blocks port 80. Apparently you can change your port to 8080 and it will work, but I didn't try this since I'm not using ad block right now and won't until I deem it necessary. Or you can get adaway.

I was using adaway and I noticed webpages loading very slow if at all. I uninstalled and everything is back to normal. I wonder if this is what was causing the same issue on my s5. It had me so frustrated because pages would rarely load.

It could be possible. Because after rooting the ad blocking software has more privileges in blocking actual data from coming into your phone. Some websites are probably riddled with so much ads that the ad block would just over load and not even load the website. I'd guess anyways, I'm no developer.

I tried that and it still wouldn't work. I never installed ad block plus but I had installed adaway. I tried clearing cache, I tried adding port 8080, I tried white listing the mmsc in adaway, I tried disabling and uninstalling adaway. All along I could receive but not send SMS or MMS.
The thing that got it working for me was to go into the ATT messages app and add the number for the message service center: +13123149810
And, I switch back and forth between hangouts and the Att app for SMS. After switching back, upon opening the Att app, I was always asked if I wanted to turn on the Att message cloud backup, I had been clicking no, or skip for now. But on a whim I clicked okay. A couple of minutes later---it takes a while to initialize---my SMS and MMS work.
Hope this helps others with the same frustrating problem.
I'm unrooted and can't send MMS with WiFi on now. It'll hang and maybe go through hours later, but I just toggle wifi off quick and it instantly goes through.
Worked fine on WiFi before the OTA.
I made the switch to oreo several weeks ago and have not been able to get any MMS messages to automatically turn the data on.
I've tried quite a few messaging apps to make sure it wasnt that and have tried several different APN settings for Cricket.
At this point it just seems like I may have missed something when flashing over to Oreo (N95OU version).
Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix for it?

I'm literally having the same problem. Driving me nuts
Got to your settimgs and reset your iternet settingsa amd mobile alsonit wil do it also after that it will work you will get the mms
any work around with not able to send sms? I ahve the note 8 N9500. before I can send sms with att and tmobile sims as I have dual sim. after I rooted I can't send anymore sms. apns are all correct, wipe the phone even to factory settings. then Even tried the revert to original firmware not working yet. anybody that had the same problem with sending sms after update?
Bump.. anyone found a solution to this? I updated to Oreo on Verizon note 8, and MMS stopped auto retrieving MMS. Now everytime there's a group msg, I have to turn off WiFi and click the download button to download msgs, timestamp will be messed up tho.
Please anyone know how to fix this, it's annoying. I want to go back to nought if I cantget this to work.
Couldn't download mms on my note8 after software "upgrade". Took my note 8 to the Samsung guru at Best Buy. She got rid of downloaded messaging apps, told me I should be using the original firmware. Set it up. Turned on data and it worked. I began downloading mms immediately.

MMS works when data is turned on. It's just that when data is turned off or when both WiFi and data is turned on, MMS does not auto retrieve. It used to auto retrieve on 7.1.1 when data is turned off or both WiFi and data turned on. When data turned off, MMS used to auto turned on data temporarily to download the MMS, but not anymore. I really want to fix this. It's very annoying. Now, It will just tell me there's a MMS message to download
