Viewed k times. When people send me text messages with a picture attached, I receive the message but it says something like this, with a "download" button: Message size: 1KB Expires: AM, Mar 12 [Download] 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'm pretty stumped. Update 2: Suggestion to check APN settings. Improve this question.

It may be that the message app you use simply stores it in a folder and expects you to handle it afterwards. StephenSchrauger - thanks, I went to the downloads app. There are 2 tabs: "internet downloads" and "other downloads" but there is nothing under either of them. Is this where SMS downloads are stored?
No, that's just where downloads go to. Do you have a data plan at all? Can you e. Messages with pictures attached are MMS, and require an Internet connection, and often a specifically configured APN provider specific, so you might need to contact your carrier. Yes I have a data plan, I can browse the web, do Google hangouts, and so forth. Everything else seems to work except this. This issue of getting stuck on Sending or Downloading is actually a pretty easy thing to fix, and here is the solution.
If you have not turned off your phone in a while or have not restarted your device since this issue first occurred then go ahead and reboot the unit. Manually turn it off, count to ten, and then turn it back on. Once it boots up try to open or send a picture message and see if the phone will work correctly. Sometimes a second level reset or soft reset can resolve this issue as well. If your phone allows you to remove the battery than, with the phone powered on, remove the battery from the unit.
Count to 10 just like before, and then reinsert the battery into the phone, and power it back on. Make sure that the phone is not plugged into a charger when removing the battery or the phone will still have access to a power source and this reset might not work. Sometimes when Android smartphones have too many messages saved on them they can get a little clogged up and have problems sending and receiving both regular text messages and multimedia messages.
If your messages have started to pile up on the device then go through the saved message threads and do some cleaning. Data and Information can add up over time so try and stay on top of your saved messages.

Message cache and data is also responsible for this problem. Sometimes it interrupts the messaging functions and you are not able to send or receive MMS. Some major software problems are also responsible for this problem.
They disable various functions and people sometimes face this problem. In that case, you have to create or modify the APN settings. The first thing you have to check is your mobile network connection. The MMS function requires an active cellular data connection. Without the data connection, you can't attach the picture to text message Android.
To check if the cellular data is enabled or not, you need to go to the settings option. Then go to "Wireless and Network Settings" and tap the "Mobile Networks" and enable it by tapping, if the data is already on, you don't need to tap. Now you can take an attempt to send MMS. There is another factor about MMS. MMS functions do not run well without the provider's network. Try to back in the provider's network and attempt again if you are unable to send MMS.
People often face this problem and think wrong. Sometimes you are connected to the cellular data but you are unable to send MMS. A weak network can be the reason that the problem appeared. In this case, first, check out the network bars.
If there are 5 bars the network is strong. Generally, this strong and weak network varies from the area. Suppose in the city area, the maximum time the network is strong.
