Check whether picture messaging is turned on (Settings > Messages > turn on MMS Messaging). Reset Network Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings). Update the device software to the latest version. Visit the Devices page for current versions and steps. Try sending or receiving a new picture message. MMS messages won't come in if you have your WiFi on. And, as I'm sure you know, it won't let you know an MMS message came in until it times out. So what I've done is I went to the messages app, clicked 'more,' then 'settings,' then 'more settings,' then 'multimedia messages,' then turned off auto retrieve.

Multimedia Messaging, also known as MMS (for Multimedia Messaging Service), is a way to send video and pictures to and from cellular phones. It works like a text message, but instead of sending only words, it sends media. MMS is used by teens and older people alike. It is a quick and easy way to share a joke, a funny picture or an unbelievable video. Each phone's procedure of opening an MMS message will be different, so use the following steps as a guide.

I have a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4. When people send me text messages with a picture attached, I receive the message but it says something like this, with a 'download' button:
When I press the download button, it changes to the text 'Downloading' for a moment, and then it changes back to the download button and nothing else happens. I was expecting the picture to open, or something. Is there some way I can download & view these pictures?
[Update]: I have seen other suggestions to turn on mobile data. I went to:
and verified that Mobile data = ON. As an experiment, I toggled it OFF then ON again, then pushed the Download button on my text message again, but got the same result (it said 'downloading' briefly then nothing).
Auto-retrieve is unchecked & still no success. I'm pretty stumped.
Update #2:Suggestion to check APN settings. I went to:
But there is no 'mobile' choice. There is a 'more => mobile networks' but it only has '3G data' and 'connections optimizer'. Is there some other way to find/set the APN settings?

Note 5 Mms Not Downloading
I was using a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1 and had this problem (download button did nothing once pressed and therefore I was unable to receive MMS msgs). Google's Messenger App as SMS/MMS app.
I ended up calling FIDO and someone directed me to change the url for MMS proxy (in Access Point Names => FIDO LTE => MMS Proxy) to an IP address. I then turned off my phone, took out the SIM, re-inserted it and turned the phone back on. I was then able to receive text messages. I'm not sure which of those steps actually solved it, but together they worked.
