[Q] Z3..can send mms but cannot receive mms on Straight Talk - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got D6603 model Z3 and I'm using it with Straight Talk. The issue I'm having is that I can send mms fine, however, I can't receive them. I get the message, "Message not downloaded". When I had the dual sim Z3, I never had this issue. I have been searching the internet for hours trying to find a fix for it. I have tried numerous APN settings and still I can't receive mms.
I have also tried the feature, where the phone is supposed to download the APN settings automatically. But Straight Talk does not appear in the list. Only H2O, Red Pocket and ATT shows up. I have also done several factory resets and reinstalled the firmware via the Sony Companion Program.
So do anyone else know of a fix to this issue?

[requesting help] When the 3G icon inverts, cannot make/receive calls but can sms

Look at the screenshot below. The one on top is the norm and everything is nice and dandy. However, randomly at times, the 3G icon will invert to the logo below. When this happens, no one can call me and I cannot make any calls. I cannot find anything that triggers this and I don't know where to find support.

This thing can be "fixed" but turning off the phone and turning it on again in Comm Manager or a soft reset but there's no telling when it will happen again. It has caused me some headaches because urgent calls cannot get through to me.
My phone is a HTC Touch 3G (Jade) but the icon seems like a Windows Mobile icon so I've posted it here instead of the Jade forum.
Does anyone know anything about this? This is the stock ROM that came with the Jade.

(oops) accidentally downloaded MMS from "1"

Today I got an MMS from what displayed in the stock lollipop message app to be just the number 1. I know this was stupid but I tapped download accidentally, something flashed, then it went back to the messages app and that text was gone. I know I read fairly recently about an MMS exploit that doesn't even require the content to be opened, just downloaded. So I figure that's what I just stupidly downloaded. What should I do at this point? I have the avast mobile security app if it matters at all... probably not.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, I just figured it'd get more replies here since it applies to all phones.
For right now the phone is off until I get some guidance from a trusted member on here or another forum.
It's an LG G3 with Candy5. Just in case that matters too.
Hello,
please use this App to check, if you mobile is vulnerable:

Secret dialer service menu Marshmallow

After upgrading to Marshmallow yesterday I am not able to enable Advanced Calling or WiFi calling. The Verizon rep told me it wasn't a problem on their end and I need to use the hidden settings through the dialer. I have tried a few codes but nothing will work. Does anyone have the dialer code for this phone?
When you first try to turn on HD calling, Verizon makes a change to your account to be able to handle same. Check with customer service to see if that is purposely disabled in your Verizon account.
Do you have the advanced calling option in settings?

I have the Advance Calling feature listed in the settings, and I had it turned on with Lollipop. My phone is tied to my work account so I had my admin call Verizon about it and they said it is turned on on their end, that is must be the way Marshmallow handles it. I was told to check the hidden settings through a code entered in the dialer.
Problem solved. I just received a notification that it had been enabled.

Ulefone note 9p on att can't send text and stuck on 3g network

I can't send text out on the factory text app and it's showing only 3g and it's a 4g compatible phone the apn settings aren't showing the right numbers and I'm not sure what to do to try to edit them I've tried and it keeps returning to the same thing. What do I do to correct it? Att says everything looks fine on their end

Question Any thoughts or suggestions

I have been having some alarming issues lately and have switched out router, factory reset and changed my phone number and Sim card and yet I keep getting issues like this. Who or what is this number that was toggled on to receive my messages and should I be concerned? Thanks again your the best!

I don't know, it's your beast... Google it down.
The first sign that something dubious was afoot was when all my call forwarding and other phone services were being routed to a mysterious number that wasn't mine. Then my phone started taking screenshots while I was looking at my router settings and several other oddities. So I got a new router, factory reset my phone making sure not to reload the backup from before. I then changed my phone number and got a new sim Card. That number being there has me concerned because I didn't put it there and have no idea how to remove it. Thanks for any guidance or suggestions you may have, I assure you with a moral certainty, it's greatly appreciated.
