[Q] Messaging, download box appears - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In sms/mms messaging, sometimes I receive a mms and instead of displaying the contents, it has a download box. I will click download, wait, and nothing ever appears. There's no location to see where the download goes. It's random that the download will appear within hours or even several days. This has been an issue since I first picked the phone up from 4.1.26 to 4.1.83. Are there any resolves to this problem, it's very annoying. - tia.

I downloaded it myself.

You may need to be connected to mobile data to download...wifi doesn't cut it sometimes. I'm not entirely sure how it works as I can receive them sometimes (not on mobile data) but can't send them. But I'd try turning it on if you have problems with MMS (if it's not already on)

Just rebooted my phone and about 10 ppl got pictures I sent out as old as 5 days ago! Crap like this pisses me off on motorola's part. I have done nothing too change or alter messaging on this phone. It's only running rooted 1.83 so it's not just receiving related

[Q] having several issues..

first: sometimes while texting i get and SMS Error and it wont send my text.
Says: "General Problems"
if i click details then it says: Cause code: 65535
error class 3
sometimes i just restart the phone and its cool. but then after a while it does it again. now it just does it all the time. but usually to whoever i was texting. sometimes others are not affected.
EDITok so i might have found the solution but i will leave this hear for future reference) i removed the +1 in front of the number and texts are working fine as of right now. if anything changes i will re-edit again.
EDIT2: so this did not work for me. i read it on the vzw community forum.
second issue. GPS. cant get a fix no matter what i do. ive tried everything i could without hard resetting the phone. i even downloaded GPS Status and used that. nothing helped.
phone is all stock. no root.
any help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same issue with textimg yesterday. I could receive but not send and would get the error message you had. I rebooted my phone and have not had the issue since. I am curious as well as to what caused this issue. I am stock, not rooted, and using the stock messaging application.

Try the GPS Test Plus app. It shows you how many satellites you're connecting. It connects actually pretty fast.

H+ signal but no internet access?

I've been trying to search about this but i can't seem to get the answer.
I heard about making new APN's but it doesn't work for me.
All it says is "access to this url is blocked" or something like that, i can't seem to use it unless i use Opera mini.
Btw i had this phone for like a month already.
thanks in advance.
More info? What kernel, android version, ROM?
2.2.2, no custom rom, 2.6.32.9-00007 is there more to the kernal?
I have the same issue once in a while. It's almost like the data is stuck on something. A reboot usually works for me. I'm on mobile so I can't see but are you with bell? Asking as I am.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
I allways blamed my carrier.
I use Signal Refresh, its on the Market. It helps sometimes. I allways end rebooting the phone.
I'm on 4.5.9.1 right now, but I've experienced this issue since 4.1.2.6.

Even though your homepage is blocked on your stock browser, can you still navigate to a different website?
Like can you navigate to Google.com, or is that blocked too?...

Today I had this same issue.
No data. I tried refreshing the signal, toggling airplane mode, rebooting...phone would send or download data sometimes, but it never loads a web.
I ended using wifi to write this answer.
I hope this issue get fixed somehow.
Had same issue myself for the first time today. Never had this before. I'm on 4.5.91 beta 3, and I didn't realise at first when I lost all data that my signal bars were telling me something. On stock GB the signal bars are blue when you have data, but they turn white when you do not. I saw 3 white bars and thought I still had signal when in fact I did not. Tried rebooting, got blue bars for a couple of seconds, then white again and no data. I actually had to go outside my work, at which point I picked up a strong signal again, and I have been fine at work since. Very wierd, but it's almost like the radio lost the signal, then could not acquire it again without me being outside where it possibly had line of sight to a tower.
weird you guys only get it sometimes?
Mine has been like this since day one and it's already been a month and a half.
APN Settings.
There's a thread I posted a while back with all the APN settings for AT&T. Try to add these and see if you can't get it working.

By chance did you just start having these problems after installing the leaked version of the updated Market? Whenever I run the market, downloads are very flaky, I get a few force closes, and my connection seems to just drop out entirely, from apps, browsers, etc...
It picks back up eventually if I close the market app whichs eems odd
Just got to work this morning, went to new Market, (leaked version), and as soon as the app came up my 4 blue bars turned white..............no data again! Something with the new Market is definitely messing up data connectivity.
<edit> Rebooted phone, tested data...............working fine on everything. Start Market again, blue bars turn white, no data!
yeah, i went to manage apps and selected uninstall update to market. Rolls it back to the original.
nope checked the APN's still the same should i go back to att with this?

Can't receive calls while downloading from Market. MIUI-2.1.13, SiyahKernel

Just flashed MIUI-2.1.13 after having experimented with UnNamed. As per topic title, I'm using the latest SiyahKernel. Aside from the custom kernel and flashing MIUI, I haven't customized anything. I don't really know much of anything about modems at this point, so I haven't bothered to mess with them yet.
Since I just flashed, I'm downloading my apps through the web-based marketplace. Normally I'd use MyBackup Pro or some other backup/restore app, but sometimes the apps won't work when I install them that way; they will repeatedly force close. I'm downloading and installing from my computer to my phone because I live in a 2g area, and the Market app will always timeout, so I can't use it.
I can receive calls normally when I'm not downloading an app, but if I am, my phone will neither ring, nor show any evidence that someone tried to call me. I can make calls, but not receive them.
Once I get all my apps back on my phone, this won't be much of an issue as I won't be downloading a bunch of apps at once. For now, however, I would hate to miss a phone call because I'm putting some apps on my phone. And since it takes forever over EDGE (no, I don't have wifi in my room), it creates a pretty big window of time where I can't receive calls.
I searched and didn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure what to do. Rebooting hasn't helped anything either, so that's out.
Edge can't do voice and data at the same time. So that's your issue there.

Yup... remember all of those commercials with ATT boasting that you can call and surf the web on its 3g? (using two separate signals, one for data, one for calls)
Ah. Guess that explains that then. Thanks.

Any progress with that "loosing connection to google services" problem?

Ever since I got my first Android device (Galaxy Nexus) I had the problem that Gmail and Google Talk just often won't notify me about new messages. It works fine sometimes but often there is a delay between a few seconds and several hours until it finally notifies me (if at all that is).
It's basically freaking useless. I just can't rely on it so I end up checking for messages and mail manually every few minutes.
Things that don't affect the problem:
Device and Android Version. Plenty of people reported this problem and it's just not limited to one device or version.
If the screen is turned off or not. It even stops working while Talk is open (not in the background).
How the phone connects to the internet. At home it's using the same connection as my PC, while it just won't notify me of an new e-mail the Talk client on the PC manages it without problems.
ROM/Kernel don't seem matter either. Also did plenty of factory resets.
All I can find are old and/or unanswered threads.
Like those:

I'd have ditched Android by now if there would be a good alternative. But it's either Android, iOS or Windows Phone...
Sign out of google talk and gmail.do a battery pull, then a factory reset, then try again.

my advice. backup what you need(ie. text messages) and just clear data, revert to stock image

I don't really get how this could help. Don't feel like doing yet another reset unless it could really have an effect.

ROM and Kernel don't seem to matter. That includes for example stock, Cyanogen and franco kernel.
Did a factory reset like 100 times before, just this time logged out first. Didn't help, how unexpected.
Another option, contact sprint, have them do a. Profile refresh. Also update ur prl twice. Now that I think about, it could be a slight network issue in connection with ur device (hard to explain)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm in Europe. No sprint here.
I'll replace my Nexus with an S III today. Guess I'm about to find out if it's affected too.
Will probably be hard to do any further tests with the Nexus because my SIM is going to have a little meeting with a scissor.
Didn't get too many messages yet but some of them were definitely several minutes late. Guess the S III is affected too. Just great.
Am I the only person with this problem?
Still happening and renders the phone mostly useless.
At least some ideas on how to pinpoint the problem?

Messages App, Dialer, and People App Loading Problems

First of all, I am using the normal software on the phone, it is not rooted or anything.
I am having a lot of issues using the Messages App on my 4G LTE. Often times when I click on a conversation it will often display the number for the contact I am trying to text and display the loading icon and spinny wheel in the text box. Sometimes after a minute or so the conversation will appear and I can message that person, other times it will not.
The same thing happens when I sometimes click on the People App. It simply will not load for a minute or two.
The dialer has similar problems. I will use a speed dial or pull up a contact to call, and when I speed-dial or press to call that contact, the dialer will reset and act as if I had just opened it. Sometimes it will connect the call one or two minutes after this occurs.
I have tried GO SMS Pro but that had problems of its own.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had the exact same problem. I tried deleting apps, battery pulls, factory resets, cache clearing, etc. Nothing worked. So I rooted and it's fine now. I hope you find a solution. I never could.

I'm rooted also but I have the problem too. I'm running ViperLTE. I thought it might be my OOM managing app killing them. I've use a different dialer and now recently a new text app. Its a sense thing I think. People complain about it on HTC evo lte forums.
