Help me with txt msg - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so when my friend txt me to my phone i get the text but it says i have to download it... and when i try to download it nothing happens...
help ?

The message is an mms. If you're on a custom Rom make sure mms works on it. Also could be a network problem.

Download go sms pro from the play store. Its a free app that has worked for many users on custom roms w/ broken mms

[Q] safe to update to 2.3.5 nexus s flashed to boost ? thanks

or i need to update without the radio or doesn't matter ?
please let me know
Thanks
What I was told that data and mms would have to be redone but talk and SMS wouldn't so really not a biggie but from the mixed reviews of the update I'm holding off on mine.

the problem is that i can't see my current apn settings so i cant restore it later, when i go to "mobile network settings" there is no apn settings
all i want is my data to work, mms isn't important to me
thanks

Same here Ive upgraded my mines and my wifey, no problem! Some people might be having problems cause they cant update there profile to begin with, if you have a 100% working flash then evrything is gonna stick, but if your getting the couldnt not update or could not verify then you might have to play with mms settings and data a little!
Can somebody please tell me how you flashed the nexus s to boost. Or give me a link with step by step instructions. Thank you.

Reflash your ROM. Wiping data or factory reset wont solve this seeing as the apk would have been in /system and not /data

i tried reflashing the rom and got the message app back but now when i open the message app this error comes up 'unfortunately messaging has stopped working;
i'll try the apk you gave evilmastr and report back
In Go Sms there is a check box for if you have deleted the stock app and want go sms to do that job. Find it and check it and that should fix you.

Google Voice
Have you tried using the Google Voice app? There is a setting that allows GV to be the default messaging app. I like the GV app better than the stock message app anyway.
I deleted two of my stock app; T-Mobile TV, and EA Games
I deleted those cuz i thought i didn't need them, soon after I restored my phone, which is a T-Mobile LG G2x Android 2.3.4, and then my google app didn't update like the other apps on my phone did. i really don't like that old google app cuz it was for the old version, anyway to get the update?

[Q] MIUI GB Pureview by Fundozz

Been using fundozz's pureview miui rom and loving it, however I am unable to download picture texts (mms). I've tried playing with the apn settings and used an app that automatically sets up the apn for you, still no go.Did a full wipe before install, on T-Mobile USA. Any advice?

You might have to enable data to receive and send mms. This is a problem for me and doing this solves it. Then if you don't have a data plan just disable it after.

Thanks for the response. Data is enabled. It seems to be downloading for about a minute then just fails?
Has MMS worked before, on other ROMs?

Yes. Working on recent roms such as gsnap, GingerDX, even JB paranoidandroid works. Seems to be just pureview?

Yeah, I guess. Your response rules out other variables.
Alright so I installed go SMS. It received a picture just fine.. maybe its just the stock app? Which I would prefer to use over go SMS.
Maybe you could use the stock messaging apk from another ROM?
Ok so deleted go SMS.. now when someone sends a mms I get a fc.. something something.mms? Went into msg app and it fails to download again.
Would it be possible to unzip another miui rom and just install the message app apk?
Can't hurt to try!
No go. Problem parsing the package.
Hmmm. You sure they're both based on the same version of Android?

I guess it makes sense that they would have to be. But no... ill try another one later today. Thanks.
Proper apn settings?
Press thanks if I helped you!
As far as pulling a stock sms app from another cm7 based miui, it causes forcecloses. SMS app doesnt even open after installing the .apk.
As far as the APN settings, ive googled and searched, and everything ive tried is still a no go. Used an app from the store called Twweaker? Sets the APN for you, still no go.
Weird.

Not receiving SMS! P999-G2x

Hey guys!
I installed a custom ROM ( ics 4.0.4 hellfire) yesterday and now My G2x cant receive any SMS (But sending text is ok , just receiving ) !
please help me to fix it!
Thanks
Make sure RIL and baseband are matching. You can check using the app GetRIL. Check your apn settings and make sure they're correct. Make sure you have data enabled as you cannot download SMS without it on.

[Q] MMS

This could have been asked before but i did some surfing and haven't found a thread. Is there a fix floating around for mms on JB roms for our phones? Example: I flash embro 7 (4.1.2) and the stock mms app lets me receive mms but doesn't allow me to download the attachment. I like to keep my roms pretty slim so i know i can technically install say "goSMS" or another app of that type and that will download the mms but i would rather use stock app. Thanks in advance for help/thread links.
On the jb ROMs I've tried I never had any issues. Did you try a different ROM?

Yes, it works just fine on kk and cm10.1 ROMs and certain jb roms like space rocket and miui (which I'm using now) its just the stock 4.1.2 messaging.apk that doesn't allow me to receive the attachments, which is why I was hoping there was a fix for it laying around lol.

Do you have adblock installed.
If you do under APN settings change MMS port from 80 to 8080.
