I have continued issues with receiving picture texts.... I almost always have to tell the sender to send it once more for it to come through. I've also noticed my H bars turning from Blue to Grey when this happens.... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? At&t looks dumbfounded every time I go in or call about this....

TBH, it sounds like an ATT issue.
I know the common thought is that grey bars means lost connections to Google, but when that happens to me, I have always lost network connectivity.

Remove your Google account then add again. Reboot.
Edit, custom ROM? I went back to stock because of many random issues since 4.1.2 was officially released.

mms is either apn related problem or just bad coverage (no good data in area)
you can google different apn settings to try
I have to use go smd to view mms depending on what ROM I'm using.

Uncheck auto retrieve and manually download them when they come. ThTs what I do on my vzw gnex as they sometimes get stuck if it have it auto and don't finish downloading.

I noticed I have this issue too while I am at home and have wifi turned on. A lot of times pictures will half load or be distorted. Is wifi what is causing this?
Yea for some reason pics do not load properly on wifi... I see it all the time since I work for sprint.... its an easy fix usually. Just turn off wifi and try to redownloadit and it should work

Having this problem myself. Both stock app and handcent. Just sits in sending mode forever. Tried toggling between wifi and 3g also, but it shouldn't matter. Still nothing.
Has anyone been able to successfully send mms from the gnex?
I got a replacement Nexis for other reasons... but I don't seem to have the problem on my new one

I have the same problem
First time I tried to send MMS it didn't work, the last couple of times it's worked though.
I had this issue on mine also. I use go sms now, and it works great. I like it a lot better than handcent too.

Hey guys. Ever since i flashed a rom i been getting grey signal bars 24/7 not sure why. Even on stock now. Strange thing is my girlfriend has the same phone but gets full signal.
Can someone tell me wtf has happen? I can still recieve messages and calls but.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It means one of your Google services isn't connected or synced. Some of the usual culprits are GMail sync or Google Talk.
Gray signal bars mean that Google Cloud to Device Messaging service is not working on the phone. If your Market and GMail - for example - also don't work then the problem is in your user account. But if Market and GMail both work and you have gray signal bars, then as I said above, your Google Cloud to Device Messaging is failing, which means that gTalk does not work and push notifications from Google does not work (Gmail notifications included).
What to do about it? I wish I knew. I've reset my phone twice because of the problem and I'm hoping that 4.0.4 has this bug fixed.
But since you flashed your ROM, it might be a problem with whatever you flashed your ROM with.
I have read on some threads that the grey bars can also be caused by too low a CPU clock speed or too much undervolting. However, since you are experiencing it also in the stock ROM, then I can only reiterate martonikaj's suggestion.
Ok so i cant just sync gmail ( dont even use it ) or what ever else to get my signal bars back?
Still get calls ect but kind of annoying when im out .

check that your apn stetting are correct, if they are you should get blue bars.
i cant get blue bars on my office cube which i find weird. i get the grey "h" and i can still download apps, surf, etc.. just no push email from gmail, and no syncing.
any ideas on why this happens? this is through cellular connection and not wifi. i can make calls and download apps... just no sync and push lol.
what makes it more weird.. is that the wifi connection i can get in my cube doesnt allow me to get blue bars either.
even turning on airplane mode, and switching it back off does nothing. once i step out of the building... im all back to the usual blue bars.
im on the 27th floor if that makes any difference.
Try flashing several other radios until you find something thats good for you thats how i fixed mines
In fact the only radio that works for me its xxkl1, rest doesn't

Do you have a lot of people send you pictures? I have never had an issue with the messaging system using that much cpu.

I had data off and my friend sent me a picture of clouds for some reason. Really important. Then that happened.

That's why it happened cause you had data off. Messaging knew it needed to download a pending image but couldn't, so just sat there waiting indefinitely.
That's strange, I would think that he messaging app would just wait until you activated your data again. Not constantly trying to download the picture.

New thread: Why you shouldn't have data off! :silly:
Yeah I see a lot of people that have problems when the turn off data. I understand it saves a little battery but it causes a lot of issues.

Some carriers (T-Mobile) don't use the regular data connection for MMS. Until I got this phone I did not have a data plan and still received MMS like any other text message.
I have auto retrieve off and if I don't download the mms right away it still keeps my phone awake
Next time, tell em to email pics. Lol

Yeah! Why does anyone use MMS anyway? lol
Maybe he didn't have a smartphone. But even basic phones can email these days.
Hope this thread is still alive, I didn't wanna make another topic.
So I have my data off all the time because it saves SOOO much battery, every now and then someone will send me a pic though, I have auto retrieve on, but when I get the notification, and turn on my data, it won't download the image until they send me another picture. :/
would having auto retrieve off fix this? Or is this some other kind of issue?
Ever since last night my 4g/3g has been on and off.. And off more times then on.. It keeps saying "no interent connection" in the notification window. Retarded the phone 20 times. Deleted downloaded cache I even updated the rom this morning... This is so annoying. And its no my service because I used the CM10 and everything was working perfect. I go back to AOKP and no interent connection. It has bars at the top but nothing like "H" or "H+" next to it when its off.. Idk why this is happening. Everything was perfect. I was chilling last night at the bar trying upload some pictures and ever since then this problem started..
Maybe try updating your modem?
And be nice to your phone, don't retard it

Just data enabled. It seems to be working now though. Also how can I reconnect my Gmail? For some reason all my contacts that are synced to Gmail isn't working. I have no contacts..
Thanks for the help!
Mine did the same. It would drop off the data network sort if speak. Toggle and it won't come back on. Call and text were fine. Data was gone
