SMS texts are sent over your phone connection, not wifi
Phone as opposed to data? So does that mean I got the "Download" message not because I had "data" turned off, but because maybe I lost regular phone signal during the time the message was received?
thanks,
TBH, I'm not sure if it's the phone connection or data.
What I do know is SMS text messages are not sent through Wifi.
I get the "download" message sometimes because my friends and relatives who have the iPhone text me and I don't always get their message. Just curious, are any of your texts (with the download message) coming from iPhones? (This is not just the Stylo but for my previous Android phones as well)
Yes, most of them are from iPhones (although it isn't every iPhone text that does it - same sender, sometimes it does it other times it does not.) I just come to expect that from Apple since they don't like to play well with others.
However, I do have one from an android phone.

However, if other phones do it, then I would suggest you double check your APN settings. Also, aren't you on Boost? Their texting service is erratic.
Yes, I'm on Boost. What/Where is the APN setting? Thanks
I thought CDMA Devices didn't have a APN Setting but instead a PRL Setting.
Typically they all suggest resetting your prl's on sms issue's
I had a ex who I taught a lot tech troubleshooting stuff to who had and loved boost mobile and so I had to learn her tech troubles and teach her how to fix it and that's how I know. Yes apparently it seems to be a boost only issue since someone from VM said that they haven't had that issue and my ex has another boost zte max and came to me again with this issue and I had to help her fix it again. LMAO Now all her friends come to her with their tech issue's haha she's my lil protegeHaven't had Boost or Sprint in 4 years. I remember doing all that and also remembering Boost's sketchy texting service. Seems like nothing changed
I've been having issues getting texts and notifications on my Boost Mobile Moto E 2015 as well. This year is the first time I've ever had any texting issues and I've been with boost for 5 years now.
No I've never had an iPhone...always been android
What exactly is that and what all does it reset?
What fixed the problem for me was Using Google's newest "Messaging" app (not "Messenger") as my default messaging app. No more send/receive problems since. I'm using the LG G Stylo LS770. (Boost)
Hangouts was Googles old messaging app. Messenger is the is the new one. I search for "Google" on the play store and find no more messaging apps by them. Please tell us the exact name of the app that we can search on or attach a link to it in the playstore. Thanks
I think you are referring to Google Messenger. Google only has 2 sms capable apps.The app is called "messaging" by Google.
I was using Hangouts was my default for some time until this problem made it obsolete for me.
Your default messaging app (depending on device) is usually called "messaging"
No worries friend lol[emoji217]True, after looking into things again I found that I had reverted back to the stock messaging app. What first fixed the problem for me was "Google Messenger" as you stated.
Man, got myself turned around for a bit there.
