Anyone using MightyText on their OPO? And is it working? I can't send messages from my pc or tablet through my phone. Everything seems to set up as it should but there is a problem with the network on the phone.
I have been. It's been working about 85% properly. Sometimes messages sent from the web get stuck waiting for the phone with the orange telephone icon. Sometimes I cannot determine if messages actually send or don't. Google play store Android device account manager doesn't actually let me install MightyText from my account because it says it's not compatible with my device.

Hi,
I am using Motorola Atrix 2 from last 4 months.
I am facing problem with my phone internet or it's setting.
I have to manually refresh gmail to receive new mail. It should receive automatically on 2G network like other phones.
Same with other applications like, messenger, Whatsapp, gtalk, skype. If I am on Wifi everything is working fine. When I am on Phone internet I did not receive any message on any app. I receive messages only after connecting to wifi.
Please help.
Android : 4.04

Go to your system settings and then to accounts and sync and make sure there are green buttons next to your email account.

Thanks for your early reply
I already tried this way.
The icon is green.
All sync items are selected also.
But the problem remains.
Odd issue, but I keep getting constant Couldn't sign in errors for my Yahoo! email accounts only when connected to mobile data, never on Wifi. Anyone ever seen this?
Try changing your APN settings, there's a thread somewhere showing what to change. Worked for my issues similar to yours.

I am having the exact same issue, it started happening to me about maybe a month or so ago. I did change my APN settings to a different one (internet2.voicestream.com) but did not add an alternate as described in the response. Did you try this and if so, did it work for you?
My solution was to install the Yahoo email app but if I don't need it, I'd like to get rid of it.
Possible solution

I have the same issues on my Nexus 4 using the stock email app. I went into the incoming and outgoing settings and removed the word 'android' from the IMAP mail servers. This worked for me and I am able to get the emails without the error. you can try that.
Nice Call!
I've had my Nexus 5 for about two weeks now. I've just tried sending a Picture Message for the first time with this phone, but it keeps failing?
I'm on a Vodafone 4G contract, but I'm at home so I'm connected to my WiFi. I've tried downloading ChompSMS which is what I used to use on my previous phone, but it still failed. I've also tried 8SMS which resembles the original Android Messaging App, but no joy?
I've just tried disabling WiFi, and it managed to send the message?!
What's going on? Do I really need to disable WiFi every time I want to send MMS???

you need network data connection to send mms, not wifi. mms go through your carrier, thats why they charge for it. if you could send mms over wifi, they couldnt charge you for it.
You shouldn't need to disable WiFi to send SMS. That's really strange.

I'm sure he typo'd. Either way, you shouldn't have to disable wifi to send MMS. Yes.. you need a data connection to the carrier, but that doesn't mean you should have to disable wifi to do it... I'm waiting for my N5 to show up and have been browsing around here in the mean time... If this is true, then it's definitely a bug as it hasn't affected any other android device I've had from android 2.0 through 4.3. I frequently send MMS while on wifi and it's smart enough to route it through mobile data in the background.

I've had loads of Android devices too, and this is the first time this has happened. When your phone turns up, please try it and let me know?
i am the one that is wrong here, it should send the mms even though wifi is connected. i tried earlier, and it didnt send(turned out that person changed their number). so i tried again, a different number, and it sent.
In an effort to squeeze a little extra battery life from my phone I setup a tasker profile to disable mobile data when on Wifi.
Unfortunately, that means I can't get MMS messages when on Wifi. I'm using hangouts, but don't think it's hangouts specific. Any one know if there's a way to make this work? Thanks.
I think you should keep mobile data on anyway, as Android prioritizes Wifi over data. So when connected to Wifi, data is simply disconnected, but not disabled. So sending MMS is still possible even while connected via wifi.

Yeah, I don't disagree. The problem is for about 15 hours a week I'm in a place where I have abysmal cell coverage. When I'm there my battery goes to crap, I was hoping this would help with it.

The problem is you can't send receive MMS over Wifi, for some reason it has to use the cellular data.

With Google voice you can. I do it all the time. Only use air plane mode with Wi-Fi at work and usually at home... But I'm assuming you aren't using Google voice.

Ah, I see what you're saying... no, only using Google Voice for voicemail. I must admit, I never did really figure that product out completely.
Nextplus
I use next plus for WiFi text, gives you a separate phone number as well
It depends, I don't use hangouts I use stock sms and MMS sent to my number requires data from the provider, stored on their servers till the image expires, or log into my account to view the image
Are the people sending you these images use hangouts and are logged in?, assuming it will send via Google's services
With 5.1.1 there seems to be a bug with WiFi and data cross over, if I have both on, sometimes data stays on instead of wifi while the phone is sleeping at home, then it switches over when display is on,another reason why I don't leave it on.
It's not about images, it's about MMS for group text messages. And some use hangouts and some do not. Some use android, some use iphone.

Hmm.. It should be fine, then.
I tested it with a friend who is on Android. We disabled our mobile data and we could send MMS group messages.
(From Hangouts to Hangouts, no SMS involved. I cannot text using it, anyway, being on iPhone).

I suggest any one who wants to try for themselves test then, because on my setup I would not get the MMS. It may have been due to emoticons or something else I'm not thinking of, but I clearly remember the separate SMS from my wife asking why I was ignoring everyone on the group text
I have the Mate 9, but Android Messages will not function properly on it. It will only show "Unknown Sender" and will not allow me to reply to messages.
At the bottom, it says "Sender does not allow replies". Anybody else have this issue?
same here. aching for the fix!
i had same problem, switched to Textra app and I love it.
I was having a similar problem with my daughter (using a Samsung Active). Her messages frequently arrived as Unknown Sender, and in group MMS messages her messages would never download. Frequently her simple SMS texts to me would show as "Download Failed". So I switched to Textra and that resolved the issue, but I wasn't happy that I could not use the stock Message program or Android Messages. I called AT&T and they re-provisioned my Mate 9 on the account, and I reset the APN to Default in Settings and now everything works fine. Odd to say the least, but at least it works now.

Not talking about mms.
ALL messages are from unknown sender
If rooted, have you tried freezing the stock SMS app? Did you restore your SMS from an application?
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Not rooted. All other sms apps work fine.
There is another thread where I answered this question. Do NOT download Google messenger from the play store. For some odd reason it doesn't work. You have to go to apk mirror and download the apk from there. The only way to get rid of unknown sender is to delete all texts and start over with a fresh install from apk mirror. It fixed the MMS problems as well. I don't know why you have to do it. You just do.
So far I got the app to work. First, I downloaded it from the Play Store. Then I deleted my messages. Afterwards, I restarted the phone then it started working.
Bad thing is messages won't appear even after backing them up.
