Over the years on various devices and versions of Android and with various SMS apps, I have on rare occasions run into an issue where I cannot retrieve an MMS message from my carrier, which has almost always been T-Mobile USA.
The current example shows up like this in Hangouts:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Says "New MMS message to download: size is xxxxKB, expires on mm/dd, hh:mm. Message not downloaded. Tap to retry"
And when I try to "tap to retry", it claims to be downloading but always reverts to the above state:
Says "Downloading" for a short time
Definitely seems to happen when I had a weak signal at the point when I first received the MMS.
Any idea how to fix this? If I switch to a different default SMS app, will that app be aware of this un-downloaded MMS and give me an opportunity to download it, or will it be lost? Is this a carrier issue or a device issue? My device is rooted. Many people have posted all over the place about this issue but the answers are widely varied so there seems to be no clear solution. I have not messed with my APN settings. Most MMS are received without issue.
Note: Nexus 6P running 6.0.1 stock (rooted) with Hangouts 8.0.116581895

It was there on my S3 but it's not an option on the T-mobile S5. However, someone from another forum posted a picture of their stock email app and they have it! What is UP with T-mobile's email app??
T-MOBILE S5:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
OTHER S5:
Well, it LOOKS like I might have success. I completely changed several of my IMAP settings. I now have "none" checked under "security type" and I also changed the Ports.
In addition to the sync problem I've been having, the "spam filter" button has now come back!
Let's see if it sticks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just an update:
I will say this: my fix is not a perfect fix. The spam filter has stayed permanently. Does it sync? Yes. However, I've noticed that it takes about 10-20 minutes on average for it to sync properly. It's still frustrating but it works.
My service went out last night and in true moronic form I went and messed with settings I'm unfamiliar with - turns out the Verizon network was down and now I'm not sure how they're SUPPOSED to be set...
The settings are as follows:
1) APN Settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Preferred Network Type:
3) CDMA Subscription:
Info about my phone:
Unlocked, rooted, ROMed (GPE 4.4.4), Verizon GS4.
Can anyone tell me what these should be set to? I've done some searching and it's pretty inconclusive.

They look fine except I'm unsure of the 'subscription' setting in the last pic. If you have issues then try toggling it to NV and do a reboot or toggle airplane mode to see if it helps.
Missed your reply the other day, the problem I've recently started experiencing is that until I reboot once or twice I cannot hear callers and they cannot hear anything at all (both inbound and outbound calls.) I'm not sure if it's related to this or not. I've found a few threads where people are having similar issues and factory resets don't seem to do it. Neither do any of the other suggestions presented in said threads.

It does nothing. It just remain there. The one in the far left, the first icon. What in the world is it?

Don't worry about the 1X. I've been trying to force the device to obey my command to update the PRL so that the connection be 3G/4G. Just want to know what the first icon in the notification is and if it can be removed.
Location service disabled. I have to say one thing though - i found this on google in exactly 2 minutes ( I have very slow internet ). Maybe you could do your own searching and find answers to your questions. Your behaviour could be considered rude here
I have tried and tried on Google for several days. I just didn't know what words to look for. I've also tried on Yahoo. I apologize of I seem rude, I'm really having a hard time to understand many things. I was hoping that the icon was what caused the connection to be stuck at 1X. I'm about to go to the store for help to get it to be 3G/4G either fix or replace. I will see if the people at the store can remove the location icon. I'm new to EVO 3D and its older style of Android.
Hello I am facing the issue of ping spikes in my phone and easiest example to demonstrate this issue is delay in sending of messages in Whatsapp and Telegram and also sudden drops in speeds while downloading something or running a speedtest from ookla speedtest app. I am attaching an image to help you guys better understand this issue. Please help me fix this as I want to avoid service center at all cost.
Some flashback to this issue- I got it in DU for a day but before I flashed another ROM to check for same it disappeared automatically and I never cared to check for it again. 2 days back I clean flashed Zephyr-OS and this **** returned.
Thanks for help
P.S. No lag in other devices so router isn't an issue.

Try setting static unused IP to your device. I am not sure though. Just give it a try!..
Just Press on the WiFi network if already connected->Forget Network
Then Click on it again. Enter password and click on Advanced options enter your IP and Gateway and DNS as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Today, I'd like to show you a fix to some of the weird Caller ID issues, like these:
- All calls shown as from "Unknown number", even if you have them in the address book.
- All calls shown in the weird way, like +123(caller)&+123(your number), where +123 is your country index (+1 for the US, +30 for Greece, etc)

I have seen this mostly on AOSP-based ROMs, such as crDroid, PixelOS, ArrowOS and such.
HOW TO FIX THIS:
1. Go to settings
2. Network & Internet
3. SIMs
4. Pick your SIM you use for calls
5. Find the "VoLTE/4G Calling" option
6. Disable 4G Calling/VoLTE.
7. Reboot.
If you use two SIMs for calls and SMS, repeat the process for both.
And voila, if everything is done right, you will start seeing who's calling you again! I hope this guide was useful. I know that it's quite an obscure bug, but it's annoying.
Have a great rest of your day
So i can't use VoLTE in aosp based rom?
