Hi there-
My wife recently bought a Galaxy Mega 5.8 and we just hooked her up on Straight Talk today. Everything works so far, except that she cannot receive MMS messages. Sending works fine, she just can't receive any incoming pictures, the phone says the download failed. I've tried using the APN settings we got from ST, as well as another set I found only, as well as the APN settings from my ST Galaxy S2, without success. Anyone else run into this, and any ideas on getting it to work?
Thanks in advance-
i have the exact same problem.
anyone have settings that work? i've tried 5 different sets of settings nothing works for me
I think all Mega's are experience the same thing. I have the 6.3 AT&T US version and have the same problem. the website for Straight Talk to set up the APN's said that some phones will not get mms. don't know why.

I am in the US and have a international galaxy s2 on AT&T...My phone is fully rooted, and I am currently running Batista70 FOXHOUD EDITION 2.1 but i cant seem to get my mms on a consistant basis....I have tried several roms so I am pretty sure it isnt that, I can send mms and have a great 3g signal but most of the time I cant recieve my mms...I can browse the internet and download from the market just fine but there again I cant seem to get the mms to recieve...It seems like on a fresh rom install i get the mms fine but then after a day or so I go back to not being able to recieve one at all...I have tried different apn settings and have made sure I am on the right AT&T data plan (HSDPPB) as mentioned in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983) and I still cant get anything consistant on RECIEVING! It has really been agravating and I would love to figure out what I can do to get this working right, I dont know if it is the modem software??? Is it my apn settings??? I have tried different things and still nothing so any help would greatly be apprecitated and I have noticed alot of other people in threads seem to be having this problem so if we can figure it out I would love to make a thread to help out others...thanks in advance...
did you talk to your provider, they may have adjust or refresh your account settings from their end.
That's very weird actually, i used to have issues sending MMS but i never had any issues receiving them.

i have talked to at&t and finally got them to change my account and settings so I know for 100% that I am on the right rate plan and settings......
I to was having problems with MMS on ATT but my problem was sending them not receiving though. After I was sure I had the correct apn setting a customer services specialist had me do this. Try opening your phone dial pad and entering *5005*7672*+13123149810# then the green phone button. This is suppose to reset your sms/mms setting back with the network. Long and behold it fixed my problem of sending mms.
just to double check something - are you leaving your data (edge or 3g) enabled? disabling the phone's data connection will prevent mms from coming through.
Hello, I've got a quick question to ask on behalf of a friend. I recently setup her verizon note 2 for ATT service via NET10 but the problem is when I call her from lets say my phone number (111)111-1111 it comes in as +11 1 111 11 11.
I've doubled checked the assisted dialing settings and their setup as they should, I've even tried the phone.apk from the ATT NOTE 2, along with telephony.apk files... all with no result. If anyone knows a solution please do feel free to post it as I'm not very smart with this type of issues when it comes to android but I'm starting to suspect its because this phone with a sim card isn't meant to be used locally but over seas.

I have the same setup and same problem. I've looked for 3 months and couldn't find a fix. And as of 2 days ago, i'm not longer able to recieve mms. I can send just fine but incoming keeps failing to download. I've tried several apn's and nothing seems to work. it's strange because it's been working fine past few months. Other than that, Net10 is great on this phone as long as you don't have to call CS for anything.

Also having this problem only if I return a call from a previous incoming call it fails because of the "+" prefix.

mine does the sane thing. so I have to either go into contacts or manually put the number. checked all my settings to make sure international calling wasn't causing the problem. I have no idea what's causing this.
I did find an apn that fixed my mms issue though.

You can solve the MMS issue by getting another messaging APP like TEXTRA and adding the MMS APN setting in it. It will work fine after that.

I fixed it by flashing an att note 2 ROM. I moved on from the note 2 since though.

I have spent days looking over this site and others like it. Can not for the life of me find a solution. I too have the verizon international note 2, use straight talk(att) and want my gps. I flashed the clean rom ace version onto my note, if i use the verizon option, gps works, but get a message can not make international calls if i call someone who just called me. the +1 issue. IF i use the att option the phone works flawless.... except no gps. I tried the beans flash and dirty back to clean rom with no avail. any one fix the issue?

I have the same problem, if anyone figures this out please tell us
A search of the forums for this issue predates the S4 and also talked of APN settings. I did a Google search on that and when I click on 'Access Point Names", it crashes. Also, there are two "Access Point Names" entries on the list which seems like there should be one but I'm only speculating on that. I can send and receive text just fine but attaching images seems to be an issue, definitely sending and I'm pretty sure receiving.
Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do to fix this issue? I'm running Hyperdrive RLS7 on a Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH I-545) btw. Thanks.
ive searched and found nothing here on this, am i the only one that is having this issue? Whether on WiFi or 4G, text messages work fine, but sending an MMS (picture) i get nothing, sending or receiving. All the settings seem to be correct but still nothing. Not having these issues on our S4 which is also on 4.3.
well i see this went over like a lead balloon. :laugh:
I just got this phone about a month ago and I am not able to send any text messages but yet, I can receive them. MMS, data, and calling works pretty good too. MMS didn't work at first until I had to change my APN settings. Is there a way to fix this?
Does this problem have something to do with the software version? It's 5.0.1 (lollipop)
I'm having the same problem with my phone also!
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)
Im also having the same issue. Sold phone and bought lg g3. Ive tried changing to LTE / UTMS / GSM from global. But nothing. I turn off wifi and on data, sometimes texts go thru. But not 100%.. Another thing you can do temporarily is get a google voice number. All calls will be forwarded to your number and texts will show up in email and hangouts. Good luck

same problem here. It seems we need to either disable lte or find a way to choose lte/gsm mode to get the texting work. I did not find a way to do this in lollipop. Please help.
I need a fix also
No texting on Verizon s4 i545 on 5.0.1 with root
None of the radio switches are working
Need a proper solution ,
partial soln
I have the same problem going to cricket. Here is the solution I am using until a better one is found.
EDIT: (My SCH-I545 is rooted and running Stang5Litres rom, OF1)
[App] Advanced Signal Status
[Select] Additional Info at bottom of page
[Select] Phone Info
[Setting] GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This soln turns of LTE, but still allows me to use EVDO and HSPA, and texts send and recieve fine. Still trying to find a LTE soln.
