My Samsung Galaxy s5 does not receive or send mms texts, photos or group messages via wifi.

We turned off our data and found that I cannot get mms or photo texts via wifi on my Samsung s5 active. The sales reps at the store told me it had all capabilities of an IPhone. Two AT&T technical support phone agents did not know about this limitation. After a 20 minute conversation, the AT&T reps said Samsung just overlooked this feature and will not offer it on this device. Samsung said AT&T will not allow this capability for this device on their network, but they had no written specs regarding this technicality to send me. This is a $689 Phone and I would have never bought it had I know that AT&T limited its capability. Does anyone know of an app or workaround?

Simple answer is that you can merge text messaging with Google Hangouts on the device. This will allow you to send text messages from the GS5 without the need of the cellular network. If would like to look into this and get back to me with any specifics feel free to ask. Here is a youtube video that shows you step by step how to get this done:https://youtu.be/v8YwXcw-YD4 Good luck and again just ask if you run into any issues

Bluetooth Earpiece does not receive audible Calendar or Text alerts

Bluetooth Earpiece(Jawbone ICON with A2DP) does not give me an audible alert when I receive Texts or Calendar reminders.
My phone vibrates, but I what I want is my chosen alert tone in my ear.
When I get a phone call, I get the phone number read to me and the alert tone.
I have tried turning the A2DP off and about a hundred other things.
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
-Mark-

There is a slight delay when the phone and headset begin to communicate for A2DP audio. Usually, things like calendar and SMS alerts are too short to be heard in the headset. You'll notice that if you are actively listening to music streaming to the headset from the phone or having a conversation, you will hear the alerts.
If you don't use your headset to stream audio, and only use it for phone calls. Disable A2DP on the headset. You will hear the alerts from the phone speaker in that case. You will probably never get the alerts on the headset unless you're actively listening to something already.

N97mini email app does not receive and send emails

I have installed Nokia email app (build 10.2.0.26 (main)) onto my N97mini. I have setup it up to fetch emails from my gmail and yahoo mail accounts. I also added gadgets to my screen so that I can view incoming emails. It worked before. But now, it stops fetching emails. When I go options->tools->connection info, it always shows offline mode.
I use several wifi network between home and school. Other app like opera works fine. I can use opera to access my gmail. When I do options->Send/receive, nothing happen. The icon on the top of the email screen is always a circule with a slash. So it means offline mode. I suppose when I click Send/receive it should go online to check emails. But it does not. Very few times, it goes online and checks email by itself. But I have no idea what triggers that.
The setting is:
what to sync [Inbox] = sync enabled
when to sync [days] = 7 days; [hours] = on all day; [disable sync when] = battery at 15%; [Send and receive] = soonest;
Please advice what do I miss here?

now my one account works perfectly without any additional changes, but my other one works not.
it shows that my password or username is wrong then i deleted it, created it new. after typing password and username 10 times right it worked. i got my emails and one minute later the same problem again...
i really do not understand the problem... i use the same preferences for the other account and it works, and everything worked untill yesterday. seems like it works if the iphone just wants to.
i am feeling like using windows
my provider is gmx. pop account information with my adress and name, server for incomming emails: hostname is pop.gmx.net username and password are correct.
thank you.

Hello I have upgraded my iPad again. It seems that something gets upset each time. This time my mailbox has become unstable. It does not receive or send mail. I know my wifi is fine because my laptop is fine. I have switched off the iPad again and again.

Not sure you got my earlier message so I am posing my question again.
Having upgraded my iPad to the more recent OSsomething, my mailbox no longer receives or sends emails.
My wifi is fine, checked with my laptop which works fine. I have switched off the iPad many times but the problem remains. Can anyone help?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
That's not the same as turning it off or on.
Another things to try is to reset your settings. Use the Settings app for this.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If the problem persists after the reset check your email accounts on the iPad. You could delete them and add them back. This is also done in the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar

My Mac Mail no longer works (does not receive or send mail)

I have had my MacBook for maybe a year now, and I don't really use the mail often. The last time I was able to send and receive mail was back in October. Now it will no longer work.. I get a pop up that's always asking me to put in my mail password, but nothing happens. I even tried going to preference to change my password and it won't allow me.
When I try to send mail, the little paper plane icon is not clickable. Nothing happens. The only thing I can do is exit out of the message or save the draft. And I can not seem to get mail at all from anyone. I haven't touched any setting either, so I don't understand why it no longer works. My bank can no longer send me emails nor can my friends send me emails anymore.
Does anyone know how I can possibly fix this problem and get my email up and running again. Thanks in advance for all the advice.

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

Hi,
Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
If so start here
Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

Galaxy Tab does not see HP wireless printer

My Galaxy Tab and HP D110a are both clients in my wireless network, however, when I try to print an email my Galaxy Tab does not recognize the HP printer. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

2) If yes, What is the exact message you receive?

4) Are you able to print from computer when you send an email to printer ID?

Samsung Galaxy SIII will not turn on. Vibrates when battery installed.

As stated My galaxy S3 does not turn on. I have removed the battery and discharged the static energy as many posts have stated. I have re installed the battery and attempted to start phone in safe mode. I can not get the phone to do anything.
Phone does not work.
Re installed battery.
Phone will vibrate every few seconds at seemingly regular intervals.
Would like help finding solution or directions to threads with similar problems.
Thanks for your help hopefully i am able to find a fix.

booperman13,
Zoinks! Sorry to hear you are having trouble so far away. It sounds like it was working fine when you first replaced the battery and you had previously done a factory reset. The computer isn't recognizing it and it isn't charging. So, by process of elimination, based on what you have described it sounds like there might be a problem with the USB cable.
Since you replaced that battery have you tried another charger? That might give us greatly clarity as to the nature of the problem. As you are currently out of our reach, if it works fine with another charger and you need to replace it, I would reach out to Samsung for assistance with finding a local provider that has their charger or usb cable in their inventory: http://bit.ly/1v0IVFI .

Phone does not receive incoming calls

Please help. Verizon can't seem to. My phone does not receive 90% of its incoming calls or messages. I have been told to delete all of my messages and call logs- no use. I have tried removing the battery and resetting the phone. I did make sure the phone was not in "do not disturb" mood- it is not. People who call me say that it doesn't ring, just goes straight to voice mail even though the phone is on. Very frustrating problem as my 6 year old phone before seemed to give me better service. I feel like a child who is only allowed to make outgoing calls! Please help. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Check the Call Forwarding section. There are two options to select. One says Forward All Calls and the other says Forward Unanswered Calls. Make sure Forward All Calls is not selected. That would cause all calls to go to the number specified which may be your voicemail. To get there from the home screen click the Phone icon > push the option button (left of the trackball) > click options > click Call Forwarding.

My iPhone does not receive call phones

My problem is that most of the time my iPhone does not receive phone calls. I can call, send and receive sms, mail works, wifi, everything. But most of the incoming calls are not received, therefore my iPhone is not reliable as a phone. I have updated the firmware, I have reset it several times, but nothing changed. If I make a call phone and don't switch my iPhone, the person I have call can call me back and likely I would receive the call!!??? Someone can help me to fix my problem? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Try testing the iPhone without any accessories.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737 provides general tips that will resolve most issues related to making and receiving calls.
Try contacting the cellular service provider, if the issue persists after trying the tips in the article above. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 provides support resources for iPhone service providers.

Hi,I have recently uninstalled a freeware VPN.
After that outlook 2010 does not receive messages (bizarrely firefox works fine, but internet explorer does not)!

I made sure that it is properly uninstalled.
Thank you for your help!

please help... what is happening!!!!

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
Any idea why?

"The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message. If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
The difference is important. Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages. It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

My Samsung Galaxy s5 does not receive or send mms texts, photos or group messages via wifi.
