New Samsung Galaxy S5 won't download MMS messages

Hi,  I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it wont download the MMS messages.  I've looked everywhere for answers but can only seem to find info on previous iphone users switching to the Galaxy.  This is quite aggravating and would appreciate any advice. 

I am going through the same thing.  I have read the info here and it has been pretty useless.  I am coming from an old-style Casio Brigade.  I would receive a picture message, click on it, and it would open.  With my new Samsung Galaxy S5, this doesn't happen.  There are several messages sitting there, all with a download tab -click it and nothing happens.  I am connected to wifi, and my phone is receiving text messages, so why no photo messages?  Of course, if I turn on "mobile data" and choose to be charged an outrageous amount for data, then everything works as advertised.  It SHOULD be able to receive this like any other text message, as it did on my old phone.  If it needs the internet (and I don't understand why it would), it IS connected via wifi in my home.  How do you or I fix this so that I don't have to use my mobile data each time I receive a group or photo message?

    Be aware, changing your Apple ID password doesn't always work, & can take up to 45 days to work.
    It's either that, or you call AppleCare & have them fix.

  • How to get a replacement AC charger & cable for a new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

    I've had my new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini for a few days.  Last night I plugged in the phone's wall charger and cable to charge.  The following message appeared on the screen: To charge faster use the charger and cable provided with this phone.  I did use the charger and cable that was shipped with the phone.  Then the charging indicator under the Settings menu changed from charging to not charging several times.  I noticed that the plug into the phone was a little loose. 
    There is a little black tag on the cable with the following:  For warranty replacement of your phone call 1-866-406-5154
    I called the number to see about getting a new cable and wall charger.  I was offered a free medical alert necklace if I was older than 50, and then I was told that I had won a free cruise and was asked about personal info such as social #.  I never did get to speak to anyone about the problems I am having with my charger. 
    So, I'm hoping I get two things resolved with this post.
    I need a new cable and wall adapter to charge my new phone.
    I would like someone to know that the cable that came with my new phone has a black tag on it with a phone number.  And when called, they ask for personal information in exchange for a free cruise on a ship.
    Thanks!

    Visit a corporate store with your phone and charger.

  • I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. It doesn't recognize my Adobe ID/password combination.

    I cannot add Adobe DRM settings on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook because it doesn't recognize the ID/password combination that works on the Adobe website. Please let me know if I am in the wrong community.

    Having the same issue, called B&N, have spent many hours and still no resolution.  As a work-around, I downloaded bluefire reader on my nook.  Then I used dropbox to take the book that I borrowed from the library and open in bluefire reader on my nook and that worked (still cannot see it in my nook library, but at least I can read the book).

  • What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

    what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
    I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
    How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
    Thanks!

  • Can't Receive Calls On New Samsung Galaxy S4?

    I'm unable to receive calls on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4. I only activated the phone two days ago. When I call my number, it goes directly to voicemail.
    Everything else works fine - I can make calls, send and receive text messages, synchronize my e-mail, etc. It's only impossible to receive calls on the phone. I've tried calling both from a cell phone and a landline. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Ashley,
    I contacted a Verizon sales rep in Bethesda on Friday and he informed me that the problem is due to my telephone number not being ported correctly (I transferred my old number from my previous carrier). I have since resubmitted my porting request, so this should be resolved soon. Would you be able to give me an estimated time to completion of my request?
    Another issue came up more recently - I am not receiving text messages from certain numbers only. Do you have any idea why this would be the case?
    Thanks!

  • Upgraded to  new samsung galaxy s4 from a I phone 4 and I can't receive text messages from anyone with an I phone.

    I upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S 4 from an IPhone 4 and I can't get text messages from anyone who has an IPhone.

    Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
    They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

  • I cannot get the ringback tones to work on my new Samsung Galaxy S III

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy and I purchased some ring tones and ringback tones for specific contacts. The tones work fine but the ringback tones do not work at all. I am registered, I have taken the appropriate steps to purchase, attach and manage these songs. What is the problem?

    Are you managing your ringback tones through your MyVerizon account online?

  • Droid MAXX won't download MMS

    My Droid MAXX will not download MMS messages. After clicking "Download," I receive the following two messages in sequence: "Message has expired or not available." and "Couldn't download mesage (no subject)".  Does anyone know what might be the problem?  Thanks!

    Make sure your mobile data is on.  If you are on WiFi, as long as you didn't shut off mobile data first, it should cycle automatically to download the MMS, but it doesn't always work.

  • Cant download mms messages on btmobile.....another problem!

    hi guys,  as above....i cant download mms messages on btmobile. is there a setting i can change?? ive downloaded and installed bt's stuff and it still wont work. thanks.

    If it's a new Nano Sim swapped from another, sometimes some services don't reprovision correctly to the new sim.
    Call bt mobile and have them manually remove the mms service then reprovision it to your account.
    It will then reactivate within 24 hours.

  • KIN One m won't receive mms messages

    My KIN ONEm won't receive mms messages, I've had the problem once or twice before and every time it's happened it shows this error message "someone sent you a message but it can't be retrieved right now" with the error code "3-4003" it's fixed itself in recent times, but this time it's been going on for a few hours and it won't get fixed, what should I do?

    I had the same problem and fixed it by going into:
    settings, wireless & networks "more", mobile networks, then you need to "enable" data access over Mobile networks
    It will then have a check mark on "data enabled"
    After I did that I immediately was able to send and receive MMS.

  • My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD.  When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play.  Message is "Can't identify source".  Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.

  • I have a samsung galaxy tab3 and when downloading it says my system is not suppoted

    I have a samsung galaxy tab3 model number gt.p5210 and when downloading flash it tells me that flasg is not supported

    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

    I have itunes on my iphone but was hoping I could put the music on the tablet but I guess you can't
    Yes you can!  But you can't use the iTunes program to do it.  iTunes is not capable of syncing music to an Android device.
    However, if you purchased the music from the iTunes Store, it is normal AAC audio, which the Android can play.  As K-T suggested, use an appropriate program to sync the music.
