[Sprint]MMS stuck on "Downloading" fix.

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

Bump.
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.

I dropped my Galaxy Nexus.. I think I'm paranoid or my device is damaged now.. ??

I dropped my Galaxy Nexus yesterday and I think something is wrong with it.. or I am just very paranoid.
When I dropped my device, everything was fine.. but I noticed for pretty much the whole day, I was on the HSDPA (H or 3.5G) network. Normally, when I use my data, I am on HSPA (H+ or 4G) but I don't know what's happening...
I also noticed that the touch response/detection might be buggered up. For example, if I lightly and rapidly tap on the home button, it doesn't register them. I also noticed that I keep on getting the "Couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later" error, even though I am on the internet and everything was left the same.
I am on Wind Mobile by the way and I haven't gone past 5gb of data so they shouldn't have throttled the speeds...
What's going on?? What's wrong?? I need reassurance..

I can't comment too much here but I think there's a problem with Google servers cuz I get the same login error yet I still get emails, hopefully that's fixed by morning!
Hope you get everything figured out!!

Google's servers r down?? That's unheard of... but hopefully it all gets fixed soon...

Yup that's what I just read in the nexus 7 Q&A forum, I'd post a link but I'm not on my PC.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

When I did a benchmark test, the I/O came out really low. Like really really low....Not what I really expected but I still don't know if it has anything to do with the hardware... I so forgot to mention that I am on Cyanogenmod 10 nightlies.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I had problems to with the google servers and at first thought it was my Nexus but then read a lot of other people had the same problems. But the touch issue would concern me more. I would try flashing a stock rom and see if any issues persist. But hope nothing got damaged in the drop!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda app-developers app

Could the drop also damage the signal..? What I mean is that I normally get 4G data speeds but I checked again today and I'm still on 3.5G and I had download speeds of about 0.01 Mbps and upload of 0.10...again I'm on wind mobile but this sort of thing never happens....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I just tested the touch response with my nexus 7 and it read all of the light and rapid touches... whereas I had to press to get the gnex to work.. and even when I did rapidly it still didn't detect all of them as I saw gaps where the home button animation "retreated". Anyone know what I can do...?? Am I just being paranoid??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

OK I don't k ow why, but ever since I dropped it. The home button has been acting weird sometimes... a reboot usually fixes it but I think it has something to do with the hardware... which is weird.. but I dunno.
The things is, when I press the home button, it doesn't bring me back home. It just does its animation. The icons on the buttons flash, and the notification bar flashes... am I still covered by Google to get another device?? Please help...

[Q] Galaxy nexus can not connect data (3G or Edge)

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?
My phone is in original 4.1.1 by OTA. No root...
Are there someone can help me???

.....Did u try it?

Thx, I download one from play store, hope it can help me while next accident happens.
Is it a popular problem of GN, even nexus series?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Good luck buddy. My first international nexus has an antenna hardware failure. Everything works except anything cellular. Wifi works great. At this point in time unrepairable, its being used as a $500 battery charger :thumbdown:.

I have a Nexus, my girlfriend has a Nexus and my friend has a Nexus. We all have a connection problem that requires a phone restart in order to be fixed. We're on a different carriers. So I think it is quite a popular problem. Just my opinion.

Do you have a case on it? I have found my ebay case definitely blocks the GPS.

Had the same issue it was the weather channel app

Is your case a plastic one or a rubber one?

I don't think he means that the GPS can't connect. He means that it I'd always searching fit no apparent reason. And yes I have this issue as well

I had the issue with the Beautiful Widgets weather clock widget. I found no other solution but to turn the widget off until the problem is fixed.

Was it working for you before 4.2? I find that the GPS for this phone is just plain brutal (or maybe mine is just defective). It usually takes a few min to lock on then when it does and I start driving, it starts jumping all over the map.
edit: Read the post again and sounds like he means it's trying to lock on randomly by itself.

The device is randomly trying to lock on GPS even I dont use any app who requires GPS location.

I have noticed it too after updating to 4.2.

It's probably not Android itself but one of the background apps/widgets that causes the issue due to incompatibility with 4.2. In my case it was Beautiful Widgets.

it is Samsungs thing.. Pretty sure! i've had 4 Samsung phones and all of them have this bug.
Droid Charge at the end of it's life 6 month Just Forgot out about GPS
S2 also also had Problems
S2 Skyrocket gave up on locking after ICS release
Galaxy Nexus stopped locking GPS after 4.2
First 3 phones started to have problems after recent updates. As well as Nexus// But i'm pretty sure carriers phones could have been messed up by Carrier software or Samsungs itself buy i'm not sure why Nexus is having this issue.

Spinz78,read again. This is bit the case.
I kinda silve the problem. I flashed a new rom and I had problems with MyBackup Pro on the restore process so I had to reinstall all my apps manualy. Of course I didn't install every app that I had and for now the problem is gone.

Brothers sprint gnex has free 4G...?

So my brother isn't with sprint anymore, but is still able to use data services over 4G. Not 3g, not 2g, not analog, only 4g. I've got him on the stock 4.2.1 mod for the CDMA model. What is the bes kernel for this one? He's using the one that came with it, but 4g is so battery hungry. I'd like to get it working more efficiently for him. Thanks

lte is very battery hogging. There is no 'best' please search around and try different combos.
Thread title has nothing to do with your question fyi

Probably finishing his billing cycle.

I knew a guy with an EVO who had 3G for like the rest of the month after cancelling. Makes you look badass, but they usually get ya within 30 days.
