Are you trying to download them over wifi? Apparently sprint doesn't like that, try it on 3g

This. Sprint's MMS server is not accessible over the public internet, thus you must download on 3G.

Most Sprint phones will automatically run the data transfer over 3G (without manually turning off/on wifi), not the Epic though.
That said, many of the custom ROMs resolve this issue (including Heroic, which I run).

Thank you sooo much to all that replied.. because that's was the problem. I had my wifi on.. I guess its time to get a custom rom..

Bell Users: i9000m - Issues with facebook app on (3g) data network

Hi I was wondering if anyone else on bell is having issues with the facebook app while using 3g. When ever I try using the facebook while on 3g and click on notifications in the app it gives me an error "Cannot retrieve notifications at this time please try again later. [Connection reset by peer]." but when I switch to wifi everything works again.
I was wondering if anyone else on bell mobility network is having the same issues. It does not seem to be a rom issue as I have tried several roms including the stock JL2 with same results.
Thanks

Getting it too.

Ya thats what I meant HSDPA or 3g. Well at least I'm glad its not an issue with my phone. Guess bell is blocking something. Any idea how we go about getting them to fix this issue?

I think we should all try to call and make them aware of the problem. Chances are they will just deny it but if enough people call to complain then they might look into it. I wonder if this is an isolated problem to the SGS or android platform I hope its not as that would only make things harder for us. If you know anyone on bell thats not on SGS can you see if they also have the problem.

I'm getting the same too, I thought it had to do with a new JS3 rom I'm using. Did you guys lose the push notifications as well?

Same problem here. Bell / JL2.

Same problem! Bell/Darkys 9.1

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this...

It's the Facebook app that's busted. Loads of reports on their site. Need to wait for fix or dig up older apk.

[Q] signal weirdness

Ever since installing android I've been having signal issues. Sometimes ill just lose signal for like. 30seconds then it will all be fine. Or other times ill have full bars 3G but yet the notification bar and lockscreen say no service and because it says no service my cell stand by is height battery even though there's signal. And this happened on different Roms and I have the latest radio.
What can I do?

This is a known issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal to the developers. I've seen a couple threads posted here in the general section about it but have never seen anything where a dev has addressed the problem. Who knows, maybe they are just working on it behind the scenes.

Well, i used 2 have such issues before so here's what i did....Upgraded to d latest radio & then went into Settings > Mobile networks, i then changed network connection from "Auto" to "GSM only"...That stabilized my network, i still get great data speeds so i'm gud....
Most times its not a problem of the build, its more lyk your location (cell towers) and the phone trying to give you a better network by switching between GSM & WCDMA connections...
P.S. Try using GSM or WCDMA only mode n see which works best for you.

Wow that also worked i put my connection to run 2g and wifi and it shot me straight up to 4 bars

You know that signal bar shows 3.5g>3g>2g? So if you choose auto it shows 3.5g first, if ever possible, then so on and so forth. So even if you have 4bars 2g then 1bar 3g, it will show 1bar on the signal bar.

Well the first thing you should do is upgrade to MikShifted G v1.76. It's just a patch, so you won't lose any of your info. You can find the upgrade HERE. After you do that the MOD you want is on THIS THREAD. On that thread was also a link on how to change the PRL.

Force roam didnt work. And sprint data reset code for its msl isnt doing anything either

Do you mean ##775# ? When you say Force Roam didn't work, what exactly do you mean? Just trying to get a better grasp of what you mean.

##72786# and ##3282#, i typed it and the display showing what i typed went blank. The only way to get the touch pad to respond again was to hit the home button. And my phone did use the mod and i forced it to roaming but it still gave me a generic network error.

I am also having MMS problems. I used MikG 1.76. I switched back to x99percent Sense Stock rooted GB update 2.76.651.5. Works fine now. Maybe something having to do with MikG Rom. Mik hasn't updated it in awhile. Just released a few mods since 1.76

Not sure what your trying to do with ##72786# , as far as I know that's not a real code. ##3282# should bring up the ESPT menu, View or EDIT. Choose EDIT then enter your MSL. ##775# , is also valid. Just checked both on MikSHifted G, both codes work. Also just tried the Force Roam mod, all good. If you already updated your PRL / Profile. Try booting into recovery Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, and then reboot.

Both sms and mms are heavily dependant on mobile data network. If you are connected to wifi and you are in a area with poor mobile data network or you don't have a mobile data plan then a lot of times you will not be able to send/receive texts or mms. If you have a mobile data plan try turning off your wifi before sending or to check for received messages.

Ok I Reflashed the MikG 1.76 and its starting to work again. No Generic Network Failure anymore. Sent mms on WiFi within seconds. No problem at all. Maybe it is the PRL. Try Reflashing the ROM completely if PRL doesn't work.
Its you bro. Not the network. "The key to self recovery is admitting you have a problem".

[ZIP]Orange UK ICS signal boost!

alcurtis93 said:
I thought i would create a new CMW flashable zip for people on orange uk moving to Custom Roms, or even those who are on generic firmware but don't have this capibilty.
It basically enables Signal boost technology (UMA) for Galaxy S devices when in low signal areas.
This CMW zip works perfectly. This zip is tried and tested on most roms
However Give me and others feedback on if this works for you on other Rom's.
Remember this is Orange Network only!

Just flash in recovery.
