Keep Getting "Message not Downloaded"

[Holden McNeil]

Over the past week I've been receiving this message on about 50% of incoming text messages, especially when receiving txts from other carriers and messages with pictures attached. It keeps trying to download then ultimately fails. I'm using the standard Messaging app and I have the max message size set to 1.2m... Any ideas?

Bump - This only happens with MMS Messages...

just as a test, i would download handcent, set it as default, and have someone send you a test message...

This happens to me only when the mobile network is off. I have to to turn it on in order to download the mms.

I keep Mobile Network on all the time and it still fails about 75% of the time... bump for more feedback...

Edit: Tried Handcent - same issue.

 

[Holden McNeil]

Anyone??? This is getting frustrating as hell....

 

[Caddyman]

if using handcent, go to stock messages app, settings, and turn OFF auto retrieve.

Once again... Battery Pull that sh!t... and then check your settings... or check your settings and then Battery pull... remember these are like small computers... when in doubt always reboot....

It happends to me too most anoying. Most of the time just turning mobile back will clear that message in most cases.

Bump for no good solution.... Went back to Handcent but this still sucks...

same thing is happening to me...i think its only happening when i get an MMS message and my 3G is turned off, but even when i turn it back on i cannot download the message....any fix ideas?

It has happened to me also, I could not figure it out and trying other techniques such as battery flipping and turning or what ever also installing handcent did nothing to solve it or changing the settings around in so many different way. The only way i was able to fix this was to re-format my phone by wiping everything and re-installing my phone, lost everything but it worked. What it seems to be happening is somthing is erasing or shutting down the drivers needed to recieve mms picture mail and things else.

There are a few other threads about this same issue - lots of us are having it and no one really knows why.

ive uninstalled and reinstalled, ive battery pulled...do i really need to reformat the phone or has anyone figured out what the problem is? my sister tries to send me pics all the time and i cant any of them

 

[GirDoll]

I hope somone figures it out, I am stumped and not skilled in this kind of area to figure it out on my own. It has happened once again so i am thinking it is one of the apps that i use

i always seem to get this problem when i have both mobile and wifi on. also wifi by itself dosnt work, and sometimes even mobile dosnt work
