Help!!! I can't send txt msgs! I go to Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone and try getting the txt msg settings and its not there. (It says: "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.") I've tried hard reset...soft reset....clearing storage and just cant get it to work and come back (i even sit and keep sending txt msgs to myself but they stay in outbox). Know anything? I'm about to go to AT&T and see what they can do

....ok, im using M2D, and i'm on Centennial Wireless.....to recieve MMS messages, i have to connect to one server, then to get on the internet and that kind of stuff, then i have to connect to a different one, and it wont do it automatically to switch between the two...
so sometimes if im on the Internet, and an MMS comes through, it wont download, and the icon on the taskbar disappears, and its usually like 10-15 minutes later before itll reappear and download once ive switched to the MMS server.....is there a way to pull the message back up manually?
....and also, is there a program or some type of script i could use to have the connection automatically switch once ive received an MMS?
Heya, I have a vodaphone raphael, and whenever any other phone trys to send it a file the sending phone gives a failed transfer message, my settings have no pass key enabled, sim access, ftp enabled, tried most combo's but none work.
any ideas?
Try this. Go to settings, then click on the connections tab. Once there, click on the Beam application and make sure that "receive all incoming beams" is checked. That should do it.
I had a problem with the stock msg app going into a continueoues looping resending a text because it was reprtoing that the number was incorrect.
So:
1. I couldn't find this, but is there a way to NOT have it resend on an error
2. If I load on any msg app, is there a way to disable this msg app?
3. any other options anybody can provide??
Thanks
I found this in another phone thread, so I guess this is how to disable the stock if I gho that route..
Open messages and hit menu. Uncheck received notification.
Very strange and anoying. I disabled the stock app, installed handcent set the settings where I thought it doesn't resend on error nd then it starting sending the same msg over and over that the stock one was sending.
FYI - msg is:
2288 error invalid number, please re-send using valid 10 digit number or short code. how can i clear out this msg or have my msg app stop sending it???
update, I did a search and found a number of peiople reporting this problem on other phones but no reported fixes related to this phone. So stuck right now with handcent uninstalled, it continued to resend the stupid msg even with the data off. So back to stock with data off, so NO text functionality at this time unles I can figure out how to clear. reset was suggested on the phone, but that will blow alot of instal apps and data away. so last resort..
EDIT: the last resort didn't work, factory reset and after reboot the d&*n text started up again... I don't under stand how it can send/receive text with no network setup... fyi - I using the phone on a at&t pre-paid network. The 3GS worked great, this phone has issues and thsi is the biggest one.
I keep getting this message: "Unable to download MMS. Check your APN settings and tap to reload."
I'm using ChompSMS, if that matters, but I don't see any MMS if I go into other apps, such as the default Messages app.
Any ideas?
Maybe you shouldn't download the MMS at all since its a common way to get infected by the stagefright bug
That's a fair assessment, but when my wife is sitting right next to me and says, "Check out the picture I just sent you," and it's telling me that it can't download an MMS, I don't think she's trying to hack my phone.
Ah, well then. I had a chat with Sprint who had me "Update Profile" under my system settings, and now all is working properly.
Go to your network provider and request for settings and enter it manually.
I have this phone sm-a750g AND AM ON T-MOBILE. I cant make or receive calls, I cant send or receive text messages. The only way I can send or receive txt's is I have to add a picture and when it converts the message to MMS I can send it and to be able to receive a txt the sender has to do the same and add a picture. If I try without the pic it tells me it will send when the service becomes available. I've tried several different APNS to no avail. When I try to make a call it tells me i'm not registered on the network, I try to register on the network and it tells me t-mobile isn't available even though it finds it. I can get on the internet just fine with the phone and browse email and social media just fine. I've been with customer support for hours and days at a time to no avail and of course everything is tip top on there end and it has to all be me. I can put a att or cricket sim in and everything works fine?? bad thing is im not on anyone of those carriers. SOMEONE PLS HELP ME BEFORE I GO FREAKING CRAZY OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!
Hello,
just for the usual text messages: have you changed the setting for using text-Messages?
Messages > Settings > Chat Settings > "Select default messaging type" > Text/multimedia msgs
With the chat option I've allways had some problems here.
