H910 - group or multimedia message cannot download? (I am using T-Mobile)

[zhangla]

I bought the H910 unlocked ATT version. Everything works fine except the Messages app. It sometimes says it cannot backup and sync text messages, and everytime a group message or a message with pictures come over, it would ask me to download, but the download always fails after 5/5 attempts.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

I have the same issues. I noticed it usually happens to me on wifi. Once i turn that off, it usually works then. Also im using the tmobile branded V20

Sent from LG V20

I manually deleted the APN in the phone, and added the tmobile APN. Now I can receive group/multimedia messages, but I cannot send one... This is very annoying...

are you on wifi?

Yes I am on Wifi. Do I need to disable Wifi to send multimedia text messages? that would be strange...

Cellular data always active - does this mean I will be using LTE data all the time even though I am on wifi? that would be so wasteful.... I have only 2G per month.
