I thought I would share this since the problem is widespread. You might want to inform other Sprint users on other devices.
If you get texted a picture and the picture never comes this is what you can do.
1. Open "Settings" in the messaging app.
2. Turn off "Auto Retrieve".
3. Select the message that has the pic that won't come through.
4. Click "Download". Wait for a second while it downloads the picture.
5. Now turn back on "Auto Retrieve".
Hopefully Sprint will get this issue fixed.
Just checked this on VZW as well and it works. Thanks for the info

Am I the only mofo this doesn't work for?
FFUUUUDDDGGGEE!!
I am on WindMobile, and this workst great for me, so i do not think it is a carrier related, may be it is Android Related.
This is a good find. Next time this comes up I'm giving it a shot.
This could be an issue with CDMA networks vice Android, unless some GSM users come in and report the same problem.

What I am wondering is, I would like to go to Verizon to get the 4g lte and enjoy my nez to the full potential, although I think that development isn't moving along a due to lack of support or lack of gsm. If I buy a gnez for Verizon will I bee missing out on movement?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Gnex.
And lack of development?
I've seen more CDMA (Verizon) only roms than visa-versa.
And there are only a couple.
You're not going to miss anything.
Great new guys go to wirefly to get your gnez
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Did you guys ever visit elect-band.com to buy a Gnez?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
its GNex not Gnez... but I prefer calling it GN.
I have the Google Nexus GSM and I'm very happy with it. Please remember that the Nexus family is a Developers family (although any user could work with it) applying custom ROMS is very easy and can be done in a lot of ways since the phone was made to be tempered with.
The community for custom ROMS and android development is very active for the phone you are about to admire and cherish.
some note for you:
Install an app that disables the 4g when the phone sits in your pocket... some people around here noticed the batery drains very fast when you leave 4g on in your pocket!
but to be honest. I life in the Netherlands and we haven't got 4G over here... even 3G loads websites, music and movies amazingly fast. as for browsing you could use Chrome which is released for android 4.0 users.
Hop on and enjoy the ride with nexus!

Huh? Wirefly has it for $79.99 if you're starting a new contract. Any other place buying it used, that's up to you to decide.
And for Christ's sake its a Galaxy Nexus, not a Galaxy Nezus.

I'll have to disagree here. I believe the difference comes down to market penetration.
GSM = World phone (anyone worldwide)
LTE = Verizon customers only.
The more phones out there, the more developers will work with that phone.

Just checked and yes... sorry.
Then my guess would be that you guys in US have 4g networks together with switserland and just a handfull of other countries. So the only roms floating around would come from these places.
I could buy an lte device in the Netherlands using ebay or so but there would be no way to go beyond 3g around here for me. And going to switserland to check my mail lightning fast would mean that i had to drive there and pay €5,- (± $7,-) for every downloaded/uploaded MB...

Just lost my phone in taxi I'm rooted also have face unlock and pattern unlock secondary. Is there anything I can do to assure the finder can't use it. Or can I track it. I'm on monthly 4g so no insurance!
That sucks man. As for gps locating your phone I believe that's offered by your insurance, or if you had any type of Norton, kaspersky, trend micro etc security on it. They offer stuff like that. Otherwise you might be SOL. As for them getting in I don't know. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that answer.

Go to the play store from your computer and download "plan b" it will be pushed to your phone and allows you to track it.

I hate how easy it is for someone to look up how to wipe a phone and easily bypass all security. Usually when someone finds a phone, that person doesn't want to know your stuff.
Where's my Droid can also be pushed, and then you can get it's location
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
did u ever set up Lookout on you phone? it comes w/it.. if you maybe randomly did one day, you can find it with that
2nd to the Plan B. That works amazingly. Also, check if you have a cab receipt. You might be able to use that to identify which cab specifically had the phone. You can call into their dispatch office and ask for that cab. Lookout is awesome too.
I called the cab said he saw no phone. Another passanger could have gotten it. I'm not even going to bother now what's done is done. Thanks to you and everyone for your help. I wanted a new phone anyway maybe my wife will get me one for fathers day. I'll wait and probably get a note or galaxy nexus I'm sticking with Samsung I have a windows and a iPhone at home but don't feel like it I can't go backwards .

I find that the GS3 is not much of a significant upgrade from the GSII. I would much more suggest a Galaxy Nexus since it will still be relevant for many more months to come. The GN comes with pure stock ICS not that TW crap. The GN is almost certain to receive jellybean directly from Google pretty quick while the S3 will have to suffer through what the SII just went through from GB to ICS

Should've went with nexus style all screen.that was kind of the point of ics
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
I would recommend setting up a pin lock on your next device, that way whenever the phone is restarted it prompts you for the pin. It doesn't matter if it's been wiped or not, it registers with your carrier. Also, as added security, I use Avast and from there I can remotely wipe my sd card and the phone, thus removing any chance of someone getting any of my personal info.

You need to request a new phone, not a replacement. Luckily mine was fixed after the first replacement, but I believe there is a policy that after 3 phones, they give you either an equivalent phone, or a brand new one, factory sealed. It's 100% hardware related, so unfortunately no software will fix it.

Force 4g to stay on, you can do so by entering this in your phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*
Go into phone information, scroll down, and select the network speed you want.

Hello,
are there anybody meet the similar problem as following:
My new Galaxy nexus cannot connect data via GPRS, 3G or Edge sometimes (one time in one or two days), but phone call, SMS, and WIFI is workable as usual, meanwhile the signal bar will be grey from blue.
I can do nothing but reboot the phone, GPRS will recover after the reboot. I am really really frustrated caused by it...:crying:
Version is 4.1.1 by OTA
baseband is I9250XXLF1
I appreciate someone can pick me out of this problem.
Likely an APN issue... or you have a bad SIM. Have you tried your SIM in another device, or called your service provider?
I hv changed a new SIM, still hv the problem...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
At that time, the signal bar changed to grey, and no small arrow inside of the bar, does that mean no data connection?
its a hardware issue or system issue?
