Signal app wont download images

Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Labels mms. Copy link. Try to click on the message to download the contents. Tap to retry when an error is shown.

Expected result: MMS message is successfully downloaded. Seems to retry on a hour basis. This can not be the case with me as the issue is intermittent I actually got one of these errors again yesterday There was some SNAFU about MMS when initially when I got my phone with tmobile where they had me enter a url to download mms messages from, and then the MMS flowed before signal Upon reading the "how to submit a bug" docs, I attempted to download the mms again to make it fail so i could submit a debug log but it succeeded this time It's a pain but at least I get to see the pictures.

Good luck. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: comment. Doesn't work for me. Tried again, no result. What a shame. I'm sorry. Who makes your phone? I'm using a Blu product. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: What comment. Samsung Gi This happens so consistently for me. So frustrating! Experiencing this issue with Signal 4. When MMS arrive, You guys check: if!

With "Signal messages and calls" enabled, MMS are downloaded and displayed correctly. Sign up for free to subscribe to this conversation on GitHub. Already have an account? He closed a couple of duplicate issues last week. Obviously, if it was something small it would already be fixed. Been experiencing this issue for a while now and just found this thread. This has been an ongoing issue for me crossing two different phones. Been frustrating at best Nearly demolished the phone at the worst.

I've switched back to Samsung Messages until this gets fully resolved. Looks like yate has a potential fix for this issue in If anyone is interested in trying it out, I can sign a build and send it to you. That means that it could install in-place over your existing installation.

Any chance you will send this build over here. I can't take this anymore not receiving mms. My sister and gf both stopped using signal because of this. Is there a link you could post here to download or is that against the rules or something? Message that number. Greyson said to send him a text asking for the test build that fixes MMS. I am having this issue. It's so bad that i have decided to switch away from signal until it is fixed.

I am on Android 7. Most MMS messages including group messages do not come in. They give me an option to redownload but it never succeeds. This is an app-breaking bug. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon. Greyson has a signed test build that has a possible fix. I have had perfect success with the apk from greyson-signal that includes the fix from yate and it hurts to see so many of you still suffering and ditching Signal.

I can't blame you and it really tempts me to post a link to the apk for you guys. I know it's the holiday season and Signal guys may be busy with family life, but Signal users are suffering and their advocacy toward potential users is more than nullified when they have to stop using Signal themselves.

It's a bad situation. Don't get me wrong, I love the work from Signal devs and wouldn't stop using Signal myself, but I can appreciate the more intense pressure some of you are under from friends, family, and significant others who don't grok the need or desire to protect privacy. It's hard to get them on board in the first place and then having to come clean that it's the app you want them to use that is the culprit makes it so much harder to convert them. Ugh again. I finally dropped it.

Just too many Apple people or MMS groups that message me. I messaged greyson twice over 2 weeks with no response. I know a lot of people less technical than us they don't even know what github is that are just ditching it for good.

Pretty sure people like that won't come back even when it's fixed. Really too bad if there's a fix that actually works, but nobody around to roll it to production. They aren't going to put a pull request in a stable release that just came out. It needs to be tested and verified first. Once they fix the issue just try to convert your friends back. If the bug was easy to fix it would have been fixed a month ago. Luckily yate may have solved it.

Now just let Greyson and the Signal team integrate and properly release it if its the proper solution. BUT I can understand yalls frustration, I do feel like this should be a 1 priority since its a piece of the core functionality.

So we're looking to ship this fix in 4. Thank you! Amazing news. I can't wait to send out my mass text saying, "you can now set Signal as your default again! If anything, the situation seems worse than before, because before, I could tap the message, restart the phone, tap the message again, and the message would then download and appear correctly, but that is now not working. I also seem unable to send group texts to non-signal users ; likely unrelated but I mention it because you may see this in the debug log.

Done, thanks. I'd open up a separate issue. A lot of messages went through since then, I'll get a debug log next time! Did you have the ability tap-to-download?

If it happens to you again, can you open another issue with a debug log? Something happened, we thought someone wasn't in your contacts, but then it corrected itself. It's hard to debug without more relevant logs. Let me know if this happens again! Skip to content.

Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. Steps to reproduce be a member of a group someone sends an image to the group image downloads fine on signal desktop, but not on Android phone Actual result: image may not download automatically and needs to be tapped, despite settings that say it will be downloaded automatically this was on wifi anyway Expected result: images download like normal Screenshots Lost it Device info Device: galaxy s9 Android version: 8.

I'm guessing the sender in the group is not in your contacts?
