how can I completely close Skype? (uninstall is not an option)
I am using Skype 2.0.0.47 (newest on market) for Android on my Samsung GT-I9100 with Android 2.3.3
I logout and close (double back) Skype on exit
I unchecked logon automatically
I unchecked skype account in settings - accounts and sync phone
but after a time when I look at Running apps (settings - applications - running services) skype is running, so i stop it, but after a time it is running ...
Its very annoying
I have no root on my phone so I can not use app that require that

why do you need to close it completely? if its a battery issue, your most likely killing it faster having your phone continually restart the service
its good question 'why?'
it pisses me off that i can not control apps on my phone - please do not send me to shrink
Goto Skype settings

Hey guys,
So I just got my Nexus 5 about a week ago, and love it so far. I immediately downloaded 8sms because it seems like Hangouts is still a work in progress.. Anyway, for some reason my phone will not auto-retrieve MMS messages. I've tried changing the MMSC values within the app and restarting it, but it hasn't helped.
I usually keep Mobile Data set to off, as I'm usually at school/work and both have secure WiFi.
My old HTC Desire HD was able to automatically turn data on momentarily to receive MMS, then shut off. This was a stock feature of the phone. Is this not the case with the Nexus 5? I don't want to have to go and turn on mobile data every time a MMS notification pops up; it just seems stupid to have to.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
Turn mobile data on!

I guess it is a good thing to have but if every app could turn on data when they wanted and download anything then it would defeat the point of having data off. I agree with you though that in that situation it should automatically download.
With that said, some custom ROMs have this feature but it's not included in stock Android. When data is manually disabled by the user i'd expect it to stay off however for anything.
Does the automatically download mms feature not let the data turn on to download the message?

The problem is, I've tried just running around with mobile data on, and wifi on, but it still will not download the MMS messages. I have to manually turn off wifi, and then it will switch to data and download the MMS...
Try smart messenger or textra or Hangouts it could be a issue with the texting app

I might try going to my carrier to see if there's a solution. It seems silly that a 3 year old smartphone (my old HTC) had the ability to automatically turn on/off data for MMS, but not the Nexus..
Go to your T-mobile account find where you would select a phone and choose the Nexus 5. Wait a little and restart your phone and see if it works after an hour or 2.

Were you able to find a fix to this? My texts were completely fine for the first day or two I had it while i was on wifi. But just realized today that i might of been missing out on a day or twos worth of texts when my friend asked me why i didnt respond. So i turned off my wifi and i recieved alot of texts at once.
Im currently using the default hangouts app so im not sure whats causing this.. looks like i have to turn off wifi to get and send texts.
I also have this demand. My old HTC phone(Incredible S, flashed with CM rom) was able to automatically turn data on momentarily to receive MMS, then shut off. I haven't change the carrier. So, it's the 4.4 problem
Still no fix for this. I also noticed that if a MMS message is to be received, but mobile data on the N5 is off, 8sms will constantly try to fetch it, unsuccessfully... This causes a notable battery drain and even had 8sms as the top battery usage when checking battery stats. I guess in a way, it's a way to see if you have an MMS message incoming, but still... Really wish data would just auto on/off when the device detected a MMS incoming/outgoing.

I also use 8SMS. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but basically, the problem I had, was that if I were to send a text that was over 160 characters, the old messaging app on my S3, would automatically convert it to an MMS (which I think most phones do). For some reason, this was disabled in 8SMS.
The way to fix that, is to go into 8SMS settings, and find the option that says "Convert long sms to mms" and switch it to "1".
This worked for me, I had a slightly different problem then you are describing, but perhaps this could be a fix for you as well?
I hope that helps, if not, well, maybe it'll help someone else!
I use CM and the option to enable data to download MMS is not included yet. However i have no problem downloading MMS while connected to 3G. As long as your APN has MMS in the APN Types field it should automatically use that connection instead to get MMS.
I didn't have this issue on stock either (4.4) so maybe it's a carrier thing?
for me the problem is when I'm connected to a WiFi network the phone automatically turns off wifi to download the message and then never re-enables wifi turn it back on I understand that MMS must be downloaded through the carrier network but if I remember correctly it wasn't until recently that I wasn't able to have wifi and download message at the same time.
Nexus 5 Android 4.4.4, Tmobile: when at home my cellular has 1 bar (LTE). If wifi is connected, outgoing MMS does not succeed. I get notifications for incoming MMS, but it asks to "download" the message which fails. The moment I disconnect wifi in the same spot (literally without moving), MMS resumes working both for incoming and outgoing communications. Connecting wifi again causes it to fail.
I do remember a time that the phone was able to enable both connections at the same time to download an MMS and then subsequently keep everything else that I do on the phone through the wifi network.
The only thing I don't know for sure is whether it is a third party messenger problem for a phone problem carrier problem orAndroid bug
I also just realized that I bumped a very old post my apologies if I did not read enough to find a solution amongst other threads.
But any help would be great
Hi all,
My S3 is running Bonestock 3.4 (Android 4.1.2) and I've noticed that, if I am running on wifi (4G data is still on), I can receive MMS messages (e.g., group messages, pictures, videos are sometimes sketchy), but I cannot send any type of MMS message, whether it is a response to a group message or photos/videos. If I turn off wifi and re-send the message, it will go through fine.
FYI - I am using the stock Samsung messaging app, but I had the same issue w/ Hangouts.
It's my understanding that MMS requires mobile data. For what it's worth, when I am on wifi, my mobile data is still turned on. I was wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this, or if it will be necessary for me to disable wifi any time I want to send an MMS message.
As far as workarounds go (and as weird as this may sound), I would prefer not installing a 3rd party messaging app.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
hi guys,
I enabled Voice+ during the initial setup but quickly realized I now cannot send any SMS out of the phone. (my Carrier number tied to GV is different from my current carrier number.)
I've read up on it and HAVE tried the following-
- Disable Voice+ in Settings>Wireless Networks>More>Voice+
- Uninstall Google Voice app
- Deleted Google Voice cache and app data in Settings>App>All apps
- Deleted app data and force stop Voice+ in Settings>App>All apps
restarted again and again. Yet I still cannot send any SMS out of the phone.
Calling out and receiving calls work fine however. Receiving SMS also works.
I've run out of options and the final solution I realize is to wipe the phone and start a new but this time ignore when they ask for Voice+. However, I would prefer if there was a way to completely wipe or uninstall Voice+, and only Voice+, as an individual app within CM11.
Any other users who experienced the same problem are also welcomed to share your steps to solving this issue.
- EDIT : Problem Solved, Solution below-
So after hours of searching and troubleshooting, I finally gave up and factory reset the phone from Recovery. After setting it back to how it was before without installing Google Voice and without enabling Voice+, SMS STILL WOULDN'T SEND!!
Now I figure the problem might be something else, I switched SIM card back to my old phone and sure enough, SMS would not send.
Then I went into *#*#4636#*#* and checked the SMSC, Googled my carrier's SMSC and change it to that, hit Update, Refresh, Reboot.
Works just as it should now. Turns out, SMSC (short message service center) number was messed up somehow, I might have changed it to something else in the beginning of troubleshooting this issue before disabling and uninstalling the apps.
Protip/TLDR : Google YOUR carrier's SMSC number and change it to that if you're having a problem like mine.
Cheers, Problem solved. Please close thread.
Hello!
I have installed Wear Messenger for my Smartwatch 3. If I'm out of range and the Bluetooth connection is broken and I get an SMS in the meantime, and then come back and the connection is automatically rebuilt, then the SMS is not displayed on my watch. With the default application that works without problems. Is this a bug or do I need to adjust something?
