I have a very bizzare problem, as of the middle of last week if I try to go to a https site or use an app that uses https it will not find the server. I get a message in the browser "Data connectivity problem. A secure connection could not be established." or the app just says "cannot locate server." I have not changed a thing on here. on that day or before so it just doesn't make sense. Ive cleared cache, browser history, etc and this problem is both over 3G and over WiFi. Any ideas?
Try wiping cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work, make backups with titanium backup and a nandroid and wipe data and cache. Then restore your titanium backup backups.

It means you did not set up the APN for your carrier so you have data connection problem and not receiving text messages as a result.
Settings-> Mobile networks -> Access point name
Remember to press the menu button and chose Save when you're done.

When ever i have my Data off and people send me Picture messages it just says downloading, is there any way it could automatically turn on data for that period of time then automatically turn off? Im using Jedi Mind Trick V5.
-Thanks
it's hard to give a serious reply when your post shows that your extremely lazy.
If your keeping your data "off" then no you can't download and/or send attachments. if your worried about Battery life change your settings to 2g only.
certain roms (on my sgs 1 and amaze) have the option to always recieve mms. I haven't seen this option in any of the sgs2 roms ive tested.
you can change your data in your options
Menu key --> settings --> More ---> Mobile Networks
you can also check mms settings via the sms app by opening your sms pressing menu key then selection options.
if your rom has the option for always download you will find it in 1 of those 2 locations.
Has state of the art phone with one of the fastest data speeds....
Turns off data

Recently went to Europe and had Verizon activate my SIM card and disabled it on my return.
When I got there, I got a message, "Enable Background Data in Settings." I still get the message.
Can you tell me what this does? I have never used 3G to access the internet - only WiFi.
Thanks, cb

It just allows your phone to send and receive data without you knowing it, in the background. It does such things as keep your email, weather, and account data synced without have to open up those apps and manually sync them.

I keep trying to send a picture message and it says "service not available on network".
I cleared the cache and it fixed it before but now it won't work.
Any help would be nice!
How do I fix this?
Are you running stock or flashed ROM/Kernel?
Just so I don't leave you with nothing, here's a shot in the dark.
Changing some Access Point Name (APN) settings could help.
- APN to either epc.tmobile.com or fast.tmobile.com (whichever is not your current default)
- and or manually entering APN Types (ex."default,supl,admin,mms")
[These can always be restored to default]

OR.....
go to your settings, connections, more networks, mobile networks (turn off data), then select network more and choose LTE, then go to network operators and search now, wait a minute until it pulls up tmobile, then select it and reboot. Possible could be a bad SIM card, worst case, bad mother board, in which case it has warranty, good luck.
Has anyone run into the problem where you can only receive text from the built in messenger app. I've tried Textra, Android Messenger, Etc. And all have the exact same history from a few days ago compared to Samsung messenger which is updated completely . I can send from the the 3rd party messengers i've made default, but all responses go to the Samsung messenger even though it is not the defaulted one. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
I am having the same issue

I'm using Android Messenger and it works correctly. Try re-checking your default messenger settings.

Did that, when my default text app is set to textra or android, 1) i only see the history from a few days ago 2) messages can be sent from the app but all incoming still go to the stock app.
Been running Textra from day one and can report no problems.

My Textra App, shows a completely different message history than the built in app. One that has a few of todays messages in it, missing some in between. I have no idea whats going on. Also my OTP SMS autofill does not work on any app (when the server sends you a code and instead of having to go into messages and copy the code, it should autofill and self verify) You can imagine the problem i had when trying to do a factory restore and google was attempting to send me a text to verify and it wasnt auto reading the text with the code.

Yes, the problem exists.
Go to Settings > Cloud and Accounts > check the multi-line settings "this is the option that is messing with texts"
Also go to Apps > Scroll to "Messages' and tap on it, Hit Storage >> Clear Data, go back one, and you'll see "set as default" under the permissions. clear defaults and "after you do the wipe it might be greyed out >> open your preferred app and try to text yourself and make sure.

What should multi line settings be? I have DIGITs with my S3 Rugged, but i never had this problem with my V20
I've been using Signal since day one. Absolutely no issues. Even used it to make calls through signal to another signal user.

I didn't mess with the multi-line settings, but just to make sure it is off. I have been using textra with no issue.
My wife started having problems with texts after the most recent update as well. She can send texts and I receive them, but she doesn't receive any texts. I've had her try resetting, turning on and off Wi-Fi, etc. I'm having her try clearing data and cache from the Messages app, I'll let you know if it works.
Edit: Tried clearing data and cache and setting Messages as the default, still no luck. And I don't see any option for multi line settings in Cloud and Accounts. Any other ideas?
I am able to text images to people and they get them with issues. If anybody sends me one it didn't come thru. There is a link that says download and I get a busy cursor and it never downloads. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the data for the stock messages app. I have tried using Google messages and the same thing happens. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you check your APN settings and make sure they are right?
Check the APN setting for your carrier, I've had same problem in the past and it was always a problem with the APN setting.
It was working fine until Friday. I will check the apn and see though
It was working fine until Friday and didn't make any apn changes. I just looked and the settings all are what they should be. Sorry for the double pay. My app didn't refresh properly

Are you using a custom DNS entry or some sort of DNS changer? This can and does on occasion break MMS capabilities. I have had this problem and by disabling the custom entry (or app) MMS returns to normal.
Did you do anything or make any changes to or with the phone at all prior to MMS not working?
You could also contact your provider and see if they have any seevice problems or issues. It is possible that there maybe a problem on the providers end.. either provisioning, account setting or something else.
They also may need to refresh the device on the network, sometimes when things like that happened to me this usually solved it.
Two other things you can try and/or check.
If your roaming or not. Depending on the provider and plan you might not be able to send mms while roaming. Either they do not offer data use while roaming, or else a data limit is in use (and you hit that limit).
Try resetting the network settings. On your phone it would be under settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will rest all the network settings back to default. Only draw back to this is any saved bluetooth devices and WIFI access points will be lost, so you will have to enter them in again.
I had an issue with mms once too and no matter what i did it wouldnt correct itself. Even factory reset. I changed the sim card to a new one and it worked. Dont know why but it worked. If you have an extra one try that.
I had the same exact issue! It started around Oct. 11th. I didn't even know that I was missing images from friends...they thought I was ignoring their texts. This problem was driving me nuts. I had been searching everywhere for answers and can't believe you described the same exact problem.
I'm on an Unlocked N10+ & I flashed the ATT firmware months ago and thought this might have something to do with it. I never owned an Unlocked phone before. Turns out that it was my own user error -->
I hadn't changed any of the APN settings. I was using Pulse SMS, tried Google Android Messages then the stock SMS app. No luck. I reset the network settings around 4 times. I thought this was the fix because it seemed to work for awhile but only with the stock messaging app. New images came in at first & I could only retrieve those older missing photos for the current day. The missing images were all listed as Unknown Caller. Later on in the day, I wasn't receiving images again...in any SMS app.
I was going to restore/reset my phone today but before that I started backing items up and checked my backed up SMS messages and the 2 recent ones said Oct. 31st!!!. WTH!?!
I then went into my Date/Time settings, I toggled the switch on and off again for the Automatic Date and Time. Re-selected my Time Zone and made sure that the Date and Time were accurate. They weren't...
I'm sure that this is where I screwed everything up because I had set my date (a couple of times in the past few weeks) ahead 5 days to see if I'd get the latest software/firmware update. I forgot to switch something back to my usual (and accurate) date & time setting which includes setting my time zone.
So far, this process seemed to work. I'm once again getting SMS/MMS images and videos within Pulse SMS.
