MMS and auto sync email issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have been having problems last few days with this. When i get an MMS it won't download . I've toggled WiFi on off, data on off, airplane mode..only thing that will work is rebooting the phone.
And i have auto sync off but still get notified fokr emails. I don't get why if auto sync is off my phone is still pulling the emails. Its not ROM specific because I've been on 2 different ROMs the last 2 days and its happened on both.
This never happened before anyone have a clue why this is going on all of a sudden?

Anyone have any idea? Just switched to another ROM and same thing

its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.
This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno
Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is

Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot
Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?
Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

yeah he does. A beta was released which was slightly better but not perfect. Guess it's just a case of waiting

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.
I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.
uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.
Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway
Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?
It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!

No msgs/calls

Ok im having a constant problem with my note 2 . It seems to me that when im at work I am not recieving my msgs or calls when I am on full bars 4g, I only sonetimes get my emails. But today I got home and I automatically received all my missed msgs and voicemails on wifi . Is this normal because its annoying its been happening the last few days . Let me know what you think .

Were you on the phone for a long time (1hour+) before that happened?
I think there may be a really big bug on the note 2. But it has to be triggered.
To trigger the bug: talk on the phone for 1 hour and 15 minutes or longer. After you hang up, it's like the radio is dead. You will not receive any calls. All calls will go straight to voicemail. To get the radio back, you have to reboot or toggle airplane mode.

The sad part I was not on the phone at all. It was in my pocket the whole time but I constantly kept checking the time thats how I know I had 4g full bars. To be safe im walking in to tmobile and ask to replace my sim card see if thats the problem .

I get this problem every now and then at work. when i went into a t-mobile store they said they were working on the towers in the area
I went through this problem for almost a month straight. I tried everything I could think of. Using wifi calling, factory reset, wakelock apps to prevent sleeping, calling tmobile to reset stuff on their end. Nothing worked. I flashed back to stock and did an exchange. Its been 5 days and no problems.
I was getting no missed call notifications but a voice mail would show up. Then upon sending a text I would get flooded with all the missed texts/voice mails. This happened when I was stock originally and after I flashed jedi x7. For the few days that i was back to stock and got the OTA the phone worked fine but I didn't want to take chances.

T mobile note 2 will not sms with Ford Sync

I had a Verizon note 2 and it would read text messages from my phone. I just changed to t mobile and I connected my phone to my car. I thought all would be fine since its the same type phone. I can't figure out why its not working. I have unsynced and resynced my phone several times. All of the times I have allowed my phone too map. Can someone please help.

Its tmo service which is causing the issue. They dont allow devices to access their network through phones.
I have an acura with acuralink, been researching for literally a year to get this stupid acura link to work and i cant figure it out. Another guy on the acura forums has a verizon phone he said it synced up without him trying to.

When I had the Verizon phone with hacked APN my SMS Sync read out worked. I changed phone because if I wasn't on wifi Google play, email, and some sites wouldn't work. Plus I didn't have a frequency that T Mobile uses.

My T-Mobile Note 2 is working fine with Ford MyTouch Sync... SMS messages come through just fine. Have you updated to the latest firmware for your car? Another thing to try is to power cycle the car... delete your phone from the car, delete Sync from the phone, power cycle the phone, and pull the car's battery cable for a minute.

It just didn't work. Everytime I got a text my phone would give the alert noise. It's like my phone would think that somebody had already read the text message. So when I picked the phone up I didn't even know that I had received a reply because I had the radio on and couldn't hear the phone. So its like the radio was trying to get the text but couldn't all the way. I would check and neither device would say I had a text. The phone would have the text but would say that I already read it. My Sync system wouldn't even receive it.
When I started the car up the other day I heard music but the display was all black. The first text I received after that it started alerting me and giving me the option to read them. So my issue fixed is self.
Ido believe that unplugging the battery may have fixed this issue. That is as long as the regular old school car battery was the one that powered this device. As my car is hybrid.

SMS Issues since Lollipop update

Has anyone been having delayed text messages being sent and received since the update? My wife has been having this issue with her M8. It's been intermittent but it happens almost every day to her.

I have also been having this issue. Sometimes a text message takes an hour or more for me to receive it or my recipient to receive it, other times I'll receive up to 4 of the same message in quick succession. It mostly happens when I have Wi-Fi calling enabled, as text messages don't seem to play well with it. For some reason, it completely disables the cellular radio instead of working in conjunction with it. Drives me crazy.
My wife's phone has wifi calling enabled but had cellular as the preferred connection method, so it would only switch to wifi calling if there was absolutely no signal. So I don't think in her case wifi calling was the issue. I completely turned it off just in case tho. I'm having her try another messaging app just to see (Google Messenger vs. HTC stock), but I don't think that's the problem.

Also remember that the only app that can send mms messages over wifi calling is the delivered one that comes with the phone. Any 3rd party apps (like handcent, chompsms, etc) will not be able to send mms messages over wifi calling.
Hi, I had the same problem plus mms would be sent nor downloaded. I was using the messenger google app though, switched back to stock message app and it resolved the issue

I called T-Mobile and they had me clear the cache from the Messaging app, and then reset the APNs back to default. So far so good... Everything started working.

while related but unrelated, I had to do a factory reset after the lollipop update b/c my wifi was having issues that seemed random.

I don't think she's had any issues with wifi but i'm not really sure. I know yesterday I was trying to back up her phone preparing to wipe it and I saw the wifi would go out then come back on. I was about 10 feet from the router and everything else on wifi was holding steady except for the phone. Is that similar to the issues you were having?

My issue was that the wifi would connect and then drop then connect. Also some wifi AP, it would work great. To me it was just inconsistent, so I figured in for a penny in for a pound and just wiped the phone. That worked for me, but it if didn't I was planning on re-installing TWRP and some custom ROM as my bootloader was unlocked (but I was still s-on).

Any further solutions to this problem of intermittent delayed text messages? I now have 5.1.1, and use Hangouts. I also sometimes don't get calls either, it's like the cell antenna just turns off.
From what I remember a hard reset fixed the problem for my wife's phone.

No MMS sending and lengthy send times

My mother bought a brand new nexus 5X from Google's website and cannot send or receive picture messages through messenger and Google hangouts as well. MMS only working through third party apps, extremely annoyed by this. Checked apn settings, rebooted, all that stuff. Any solution?

I have had a few issues with mms as well. Not sure what the issue is, or if it is network related or not.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I also just started having mms issues yesterday. I have a group thread that's been active since I got the 5x a few weeks ago, but for the last 24+ hours all of the messages from one participant are saying "Couldn't download. Touch to download." And when I touch, it tries to download for a second and then goes back to saying it couldn't download. I've tried resetting the APN, rebooting into safe mode, nothing's working. This is all through Messenger; haven't tried a third party app yet.

I have had this issue a few times it doesn't happen very often but when it does I pull my sim card out for a minute first I power the phone off pull the SIM card out for a minute then turn it back on and usually everything is fine also I make sure that my Wi-Fi is off and I have good signal when I do this the last time I did this was about 2 weeks ago and the problem hasn't happened since knock on wood

Same here, just started happening yesterday using the Messenger app. Was working flawlessly before that.
I've tried booting into safe mode. APN looks fine. Strong LTE signal from AT&T tower. What changed yesterday?
Edit: Just tested using Hangouts as the default SMS app, and it worked fine. Something's broken in Messenger.
Hmm unfortunately neither taking out my sim card not switching to Hangouts seemed to do the trick. Still not downloading the messages from that person, and touching to download does nothing.

Guys what are your carriers? I have T-Mobile and don't have the issue, but I know a neighbor with iPhone 6 also on T-Mobile, where as her phone doesn't get mms messages while Wi-Fi is connected. I basically have to text her first and tell her that I am about to send mms, so she could turn off Wi-Fi and get the mms. Check with Wi-Fi off and on. I have seen some android phones didn't switch to cell data to get mms and because of that mms would get stuck and may never reach the phone.
Yea I've seen those types of issues too, but this is with WiFi off. I rarely have it on. And I'm on AT&T.

I had that issue a couple days ago (on AT&T). I fixed it by deleting all the APNs within Messenger, then restoring them, and rebooting the phone.

Deleting all of the APNs, re-adding the previously functional one and rebooting seems to have done the trick. Back on messenger and can send/receive MMS again.
PS, my son had the same issue on a Sony Xperia Z3 running KitKat, also on AT&T, and the same procedure fixed his as well.

Do you guys have three APNs -- Nextgenphone, Phone, and WAP? Which one was selected before you deleted the APNs and which one was selected after restoring the default APNs? For me, Nextgenphone was selected before and Phone was selected after.

I had this exact same issue using Hangouts for MMS - on Cricket (AT&T MVNO). Wasn't sure who to blame at the time - new Nexus phone or Cricket issues. When it first happened a few weeks ago, getting the MDB08L OTA seemed to fixed it. It happened again last week and I was never able to retrieve several MMS messages (Click to download/retrieve message with it failing to download when attempting) before they expired. I never tried the deleting APN trick, I'll have to give it a go the next time this happens.
I'll be switching to to Project Fi soon though, which will either solve this or create a whole other host of issues.
