Lumia 520 - No media messaging or group messaging after 8.1 update
Hi, I am experiencing a major bug after the 8.1 update. Prior to the update, I was able to send and receive media messages and group texts. Since the update, I can still send individual text messages, and I can access the web and app store, etc. with no problem, but media messaging and group text no longer function. When I try to send them, I get a "Can't send message Try again" error. When I receive group texts, I get a link in the individual's text thread that says "Get media content now 1KB." Tapping on it produces no results. I have already made sure that group text and automatically download MMS are both turned on. I've also double checked my APN settings with my provider, Net10 wireless, and on a few forums online. They haven't changed from their previous settings, and should still work. Just in case, here are my APN settings:
Internet APN:
APN: tfdata
Proxy Server: 66.209.11.33
Proxy Port: 80
MMS APN:
APN: tfdata
WAP Gateway: mms3.tracfone.com
WAP Gateway Port: 80
MMSC (URL): http ://mms-tf.net/
MMSC Port: 80
If anyone can provide me with advice or assistance, I would really appreciate it! This is starting to drive me crazy.
Update:
I deleted all my APN settings, did a soft reset, and re-entered my APN settings. The phone now appears to be working for both media and group messaging, miraculously. I'm not sure what caused the problem in the first place, but it is working now. If you have a similar problem, try this and see if it works for you!
