Update 2.50.405.2 - downloads overide mobile interent off setting!!

Hi
I updated my phone to the latest update on Saturday and ever since I can't turn mobile internet off. I can actually turn it off, but it ignores me.
So, for example if my mobile internet connection setting is set to off and if I open a message that has an attachment to download, and I press download by accident, the download sets in motion the actual download and restarts the mobile internet connection - ie it overrides the setting I have set.
I can see enormous problems with this if you're abroad when this happens. Or when Google maps has an update and it tries to update automatically (I haven't figured out a way to stop it doing this - can anyone help with this??) and I'm used to quickly going to settings and truning mobile internet off so it stops it from downloading without a wifi connection. This I now won't be able to do. Real nightmare in terms of data costs if we can't control mobile internet.
Anyone got any way around this - or indeed - has anyone acually spotted that this is happening other than me?? Try it and see..
I have an unbranded phone on O2 and this issue so far only seems to be with attachements on texts (ie pictures) and google but not updating/refreshing weather etc or uploading emails.....

I can't reproduce the problem here. I turned off mobile data and wifi in the Quick Settings menu, and sure enough, I can't download attachments in gmail, and there's no indication that it's connecting to mobile data when I try.

It will download attachments in mms even if you have mobile data turned off. You shouldn't be paying for these anyway if you're receiving them.

Hi - thanks for this. You're right, of course. I think the thing that's different now is that the icon comes up where it possibly didn't before the update and that's why I've picked up on it. I certainly can't remember the "G" coming up anytime before when it's downloaded picture messages. Maybe cos the carriers charge separately to send these nowadays I'm not getting so many and therefore just haven't noticed.
Thanks guys anyway.
Other than my initial panic about the above, this particular update seems so far to be ok. My sd card fried after the Xmas update and I had many other bugs, so I'm waiting with baited breath about this one and hoping for the best.

MMS in CM10 (or any JB rom)

Does MMS work for anybody in CM10? It seems like whenever I receive one it just 'hangs' there downloading. Sometimes they will appear after a few hours, sometimes never.
Is this an issue everyone is having?
Thanks

Mms is such an annoying technology. I've had these issues since my first phone with Wap.
I believe it's often up to how carriers handle the data traffic related to sending and receiving Mms. Some carriers enables you to use the necessary data connection even when your data connection has been deactivated on your system. If not, then messages often hang like you describe, being unable to stop and re download.
The only solution I know of is having data connection activated before receiving or sending Mms.

I thought it may be related to the carrier but I didn't recall having any issues when I was using ICS, but this last month has been very tedious. But not many people appear to have the same issue so it probably isn't rom related.

There should be some workarounds possible that I have yet to try (only time I get Mms are from relatives older than 60), something that involves modifying how apn profiles work. There was some option in juice defender to use an old apn method that worked for me, it's all I can think of right now.

MMS Notification but when i click there is no message

So this has now happened to me twice, yesterday being the second time.
I'll get a notification for a message at the top, both times it has been after I already had another SMS message that I had not checked yet, then when I click on the notification to bring up the messaging app there is only one of the two messages waiting there in the list. Both times I have texted the person back and they did indeed send me some type of picture message. After resending I receive it the second time. It makes me worried that maybe we could be losing messages and not even know it. It seems to me this is a software bug (vs. Carrier problem since the phone shows a notification for the message)
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 but the first time it happened was on 4.2.1 about a month ago.

Yea, happen to me as well when I was connected to WiFi. Turned off the WiFi, and told them to send them again and it received them that time. Maybe an issue when connected to a WiFi connection?

I think you have to be connected to data in order to receive a MMS message. Wifi will not work. You will get a notification but no picture.

Of course you can't receive a MMS over a wifi, the problem is that the phone is not switching over to mobile data to receive pictures while connected to wifi. I also have this problem.

I don't quite understand your statement. You say you can receive MMS over wifi but then you say the phone has to switch to data in order to receive the picture? How is that different that what I said?

Sorry, autocorrect stole my apostrophe t. I meant cant as in can not.

I have the same issue. The slide down text msg notification icon reported 3 texts from 3 different senders. When I clicked on the icon I am taken to my text msg inbox but only 2 of the 3 text msgs where there. I then verified with my friend that he did indeed send me a text msg. I have never had an issue receiving MMS texts over WiFi. I use WiFi exclusively at work and home. So I had created the same type of thread on the androidcentral forums.

That's exactly what happened to me today, twice! My girlfriend sent me three MMS, I got the first one and two notifications after. But when tapped, all I saw was the first MMS.
My connection was poor, I thought that could be the cause...

Yea I was wondering if it is a carrier issue or if its LG or Google ?

I think a part of the issue is that the phone creates the notification the moment it recognizes that there is an incoming MMS instead of when the MMS is actually received and able to be viewed.

Well that would be fine if it is a preview of the MMS before it arrives, but when it never arrives is where the problem is. There has got to be a solution. I can't help but wonder whom has sent me a text of which I did not receive.

this happens to me also. its annoying. but i do have my wifi on all the time, so I will try it without wifi on, and see what happens.

I'm having this problem as well and I don't like any of the third-party apps. Has anyone found a fix? Thanks.

Well, I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they went through a lot of troubleshooting. It basically came down to turning on mobile data alongside WiFi because apparently MMS msgs need data to send and receive. Sucks, but there it is.

[Q] Cannot download MMS on AT&T Galaxy S4.

This has been driving me nuts. Keep receiving the download button on all MMS messages on both of our phones. Clicking on download does nothing.
Me and the Wife are both having the same problem. I'm on MDL and she is on MF3 and we are both running stock Galaxy S4's. We could send and receive MMS's when we first got the phones and they both stopped being able to do it around the same time. I've rooted mine but her's is pure stock. Data is on and we have also tried wifi. Nothing seems to work. Can receive regular text messages and access the internet. Just MMS's won't work.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here!

Have you checked the apns?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

I did and the APNs seem to be ok. Did some more digging and is there a known issue with Adblocker Plus blocking MMS messages? I tried turning that off and it suddenly got my MMS's sending and receiving again. Odd thing is my Wife's S4 doesn't have it installed and was having the exact same issue. Going to test further and see if just leaving Adblocker Plus off solves it.

Just want to confirm that this was an adblock issue for me. As soon as I turned adblock off, mms worked like a charm.

I had same problems all the time until I update to KitKat. This is common bug for this builds. Try some KitKat roms from development section. Or if you don't care about root or recovery ETC. just update to KitKat.

I'm running [KitKat][RoM]&[KERNEL]&[RECOVERY][I337-XXUFNB8-4.4.2-KK][SHOstock-i v5.0] [03/01/14] and updated my modem 2 different times and still no luck.
My husband has the same phone S4, not rooted, and today he finally updated his phone to kitkat through AT&T ota and he's having the same issue with sending/receiving MMS.

Then this can be problem with sim card. Go to closest At&t store and replace them.

I use to have this problem on an older phone, S2, whenever I was connected to wifi when I received an MMS. Disconnecting from the wifi and trying again to download the MMS worked.

Talk about unearthing an old message!
Yeah, I haven't had this issue in ages. No issue on either of our S4s. Mine is rooted and her's is stock but neither of us have upgraded to Kit Kat yet. Still have Adblock on my phone but haven't experienced any issues. Can't remember what all I had to do to resolve the issue but it's been working fine ever sense!

I had a similar issue and this fixed it.

Anyone else having issues with MMS on T-Mobile (international version)?

I ordered my OP8P directly from OnePlus, but my MMS doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else had the issue?
I actually got a message that the settings were not correct, and that the correct ones were being sent to my phone (had never seen that before). I looked at the APN info, and it seems to be correct... based on memory.

I'm on T-MOBILE also and received the same message. The phone had an update so I installed and rebooted the phone. All call,text, MMS, data worked like it's supposed to. Try rebooting?

I have issues when connected to WiFi, message comes in but doesn't download

I've tried rebooting. Things are a lot better, but I still have some issues with calling out (can't remember the message... will try and get a screenshot next time). If I immediately try again, the call will go out.
I'm also not seeing any wifi calling. The feature is enabled, but it doesn't seem to be working... even on the "wifi calling preferred" setting.

Just wanted to post an update.... still having issues. MMS pretty much never works with wifi on. For this reason, my wifi is off pretty much all day. It never fails that as soon as I turn it on, a picture or group message comes in.
Also, this does not affect SMS or RCS messages, which appear to come in over data somehow.... just MMS.
Need a fix bad.

I'm having the same issues with T-Mobile. I'm leaving wifi off in the meantime. Hope there is a fix soon.

That was supposedly fixed with the last update. What software version are you on?

Hi, not sure if it would make a difference but I'm using Google messages with the chat features enabled. I never noticed anything unusual though but I live in Louisiana. Sorry to hear that. I know there is an option for mobile and wifi (dual-channel network optimization) that I haven't been using. Anyway I hope this clears up for y'all.

I'm on 10.5.6. I just went to t mobile and got a new sim card.. It didn't resolve the issue.

Use Textra app, go into settings for Textra and it has option for TMobile WiFi, works great

You really, REALLY had my hopes up. It actually makes sense, but it doesn't work. I tried with both on and off... no luck. MMS messages (both inbound and outbound) are stuck until I turn off wifi.

I used to use the Textra app, but really prefer Google Messages for it's web app. I am on the PC all day, so it's aggravating to have to pick up the phone all the time. I've tried MS Your Phone, but it's not as easy to use, or as reliable.

I created a thread with a similar (but opposite) issue to what you're experiencing. A friend of mine with an international 8 Pro on TMO is having the exact issue you are.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/receive-mms-wifi-calling-tmobile-t4088673
Didn't get any help from that but you can try the APN trick for a temporary fix until it's patched for real. I also created a thread on Reddit for this and I think I found the solution. I use Textra, but that alone didn't help. Someone on Reddit told me to disable the stock messaging app, as well as revoke it's permissions to everything. Since doing that I'm no longer having issues. It's only been about a day so we'll see how it goes from here.
Hope I could help!

Duplicating the APN worked (of course, I did the whole thing then swiped back, thinking it would save, grr). I'm guessing it won't last long. It's just as easy to disable wifi for it to send... so weird that you're having the opposite problem.
**EDIT**
Nevermind... it didn't work. I was able to send out with wifi on (which I couldn't do before), but my wife's test message wouldn't download until I disabled wifi.
I had frozen the stock messaging app on day one, with tibu. I thawed it, revoked the permissions, and disabled it via settings this time. No luck "Not sent. Tap to try again".

Anyone find a fix for it yet? I thought 10.5.8 would help but I still can't receive or send MMS on WiFi.

Granted, I haven't done any extended testing yet, but I can send/receive MMS now with wifi connected. I upgraded about 4 hours ago, and this is probably the longest I've ever had wifi on.
Now that you've posted this, I'm skeptical it will last, though.
**EDIT**
Yep. MMS is still broken when on wifi. Geez....

The latest update seems to have fixed it for me. I was also having issues receiving calls. Callers would get a busy signal. The update fixed that as well. Maybe try taking your SIM out, reboot, then put it back in and reboot.

That didn't work. I'm finally getting notifications from my sports app after the 10.5.8 update. Just have to fix the wifi now.

Wifi still dies on me, but not with the ! on the icon. Just no traffic. I had to toggle it. But nowhere near as much as it used to. The MMS issue is the only reason I don't leave wifi on. I was really hoping it was fixed.

Same issue here even with most recent updates. MMS will work 1/10 times over wifi (sending & receiving) but not the other 9 times.
Since the update I've also noticed wifi issues - they may have been there before but didn't notice. Wifi seems to hang, I sometimes see a "!" next to the wifi symbol. In many cases I turn WiFi off and the connectivity issue in whichever app is resolved.
So at this point on TMobile there is no reason to keep wifi on, which is unfortunate because with their "5G" I actually get half the speeds of LTE. ?

Pretty much everything you said. I'm really upset and disappointed. I'm actually considering returning the phone and going back to the OP7P. Not even sure what the return policy with them is...
