Can't get pictures on my new iPhone 6 from another iPhone. Says downloading.

Hi Netta18,

iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream

I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure that Wi-Fi is on and your device is connected to a wireless network. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
3. From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream on a device using iOS 6).
4. Make sure that My Photo Stream is on.
5. Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
6. See if your iOS device is below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches 20%. Downloading and uploading will continue after you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

I hope this helps.

I am having the same problem with my iPhone6. Its when some texts me a pic, not related to photo stream... I am wondering if it has something to do with the software update that was causing some many problems, but mine is 8.0.2. Hoping someone can help and I don't have to call apple or return it.

Is there any other way to fix the problem if i don't won't to use photo stream or automatically upload to iCloud? I've never had problem receiving photos via text message with my 4s before until I got iPhone 6 plus with iOS 8.1.1. (I was so happy when I got the new iPhone 6 plus but now I got so frustrated with the photo message problem.)
Thanks
