MIME type (TEXT/PLAIN) is UNKNOWN in received MMS message

This has happened occasionally ever since MMS was enabled. And it only happens when someone sends an email (not a text or MMS from another phone) to <[email protected]>. I'm no expert but it seems to me that TEXT/PLAIN should be pretty easy to "decode"!
Anyway, anybody else have this issue or know how to fix it?
-- Thanks

In all cases that I've been able to investigate it's been TEXT/PLAIN. I haven't been able to investigate all occurrences because this issue is trying the patience of some people on the other end.
For the specific case illustrated in the screen shot the subject is correct as is the jpeg image. However the body of the message was 66 bytes, it is this part the iPhone did not display correctly. I know this because I was able to get the sender to email to my iPhone ([email protected]) and CC to my email address. Both Thunderbird and Outlook display the 66 bytes of text correctly.
In every case I've seen the number of bytes in the "un-rendered" TEXT/PLAIN has been less than 300 or so. I doubt it's a movie file.

Unsupported Content-Type: text/plain

Hi everyone,
I am trying to invoke an aync Oracle BPEL process from WLI 8.1.6, without worrying about the response / callback. The web service control that is generated shows the operation stub as public void receive (java.lang.String input); which makes sense since I don't want any response. When I invoke BPEL though, I get the following error in WLI:
<Error> <WLW> <000000> <Failure=com.bea.control.ServiceControlException: SERVICE FAULT:
Code:javax.xml.soap.SOAPException
String:Unsupported Content-Type: text/plain
Detail:
END SERVICE FAULT [ServiceException]>
There shouldn't be any response though, so how can I tell WLI to ignore what (doesn't) come back? When I check BPEL, the request is successfully received and the BPEL process completes successfully.
Thanks,
Nicholas

By default, getContent() will return decoded text. But,some mail server will put 8bits instead of 8bit. Javamail will throw exception when encoding is "8bits". In that case, you will have to decode the message by yourself, force using "8bit".
Part 2 & 3 of the problem - it is not able to find the character set support.

Content-Type: text/plain

Hours after I MMS a picture or video I get the following message. Anyone know what it means?? The message seems to go through but not sure if complete.
Re:
Content-Type: text/plain;
boundary="_CONTENT_64564_PART_BOUNDARY__33243242_"

Hello,
>> To build on Rob's reply, I think there are a number of open-source lightweight HTTP proxy/Web servers out there that might already provide the capability of removing the Content-Type header on GET requests or could be straightforwardly modified to do so.
It could be a solution. Before, I plan to use some cross-platform http client application like curl or wget only for http GET requests to the Live API server . This should work ok.
>> You might start with "lighthttpd".
I'm familiar with this server I currently run it on my home router for the small site which acts both as data agregator and proxy at the same time. So it was my choice as well
I'm slowly calming and recovering after this trip-up in API and soon will start looking for some workarounds
Thanks for suggestions!

Running mac OS 10.5.8, Using Mail 3.5, Text encoding set to Automatic. messages arrive, but the message is 200 lines of alphanumerics. Top says Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64.

I use Mail 3.6 and some incoming email messages start with
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
then go on to 200+ lines of alphanumerics (mostly upper and lower case letters).
What causes this problem, how can I fix it?
Text encoding is set to Automatic, and I'm not using any fancy fonts. Senders are usually
sending from PCS that may well use Outlook.

See if view Plaintext version helps.

Receiving MMS messages on the iPhone

It is really very cumbersome to be directed to an internet site to retreive MMS messages sent to my iPhone. Is Apple working a fix for this that will allow the phone to receive MMS messages. While they are working on that, I hope, why not add a video recording capability MPEG to the phone as well.

Hi, I have some advice. I myself greatly missed MMS when I bought my iPhone, (but I knew beforehand, I just bought it anyway because the pro's outweighed the cons...) but I found a workaround. Cellphones all use an email-type delivery for SMS and MMS messages. So based on this knowledge, you can send an email to a cell phone and they will receive it as if it were a text. You have to use a special email address though. Supposing their number was (888)777-6666 this would be the email addresses for 5 of the main carriers in the US:
AT&T: [email protected]
Sprint: [email protected]
T-Mobile: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
The trick here is remembering what all these are when you need them, so here's a solution to that problem as well. Add a second email address (corrosponding with the list above based on their service provider) to the contacts that you use this feature with. Then whenever you want to send a picture, just send it like an email but use the special address for their cell phone and they will recieve it! Unlimited usage! And I'm not positive about all companies, but I know T-Mobile customers can sent an MMS to your email address and you will receive it as an email!
I hope this helped! Get back to me if you have any questions or problems.

Blackbery Bold does not send or receive MMS messages

When I receive an MMS it says Not Retrieved Yet and when I click "download now" it says "receiving content" but it is not downloaded. I have reset the device by removing battery and SIM card. I confirmed with my provider that I have the ability to receive MMS. Everything is checked to receive MMS messages. I also cannot send an MMS. It attaches a pic but cannot send. I receive SMS texts.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should again contact your mobile service provider for formal support and potential formal escalation to BB for enhanced support.
Good luck!

Cannot send or receive mms messages iphone 3gs

I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1.6 the phone is locked to AT&T. I use a Straight Talk SIM and have, voice, data, and Text but cannot send or receive MMS. I have gone through the APN update for Straight talk and even talked to spoke with a tech support rep. He said that he adjusted the APN settings for my SIM card and still not able to send.

SMS/MMS are carrier features so take it out with them.
We cannot help here.

Experiencing issues sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6

I, like so many others, have been experiencing problems sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6. Other than that, I really do like the new update. I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon. I have been to Verizon, and the issue is not with my plan; it is definitely with the update. My friend updated her phone also, but her phone is just the iPhone 4. She does not experience these issues. Is Apple aware and trying to fix the problem? It is soooo frustrating! I cannot send/receive picture messages, nor can I send/receive group messages. --- Has anyone come up with a solution to fix it yet, or is it something that Apple will have to do?
Thanks in advance.

I also am having the same problem. I can't send a pic to anyone who doesn't have iMessage. Also, I don't always get the alert when I have a new message. I never had this problem before I updated to IOS 6. I have AT&T & an iphone4. It's isn't jail broken. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and apparently it has something to do with the apn. And I don't know how or even if I can change it. Then I also read it might have something to do with a damaged SIM card. And it might have been damaged when we updated. But those are just theories.

I upgraded my iphone and now I don't receive MMS messages

Does anyone know if there are settings I need to change to receive MMS messages again after the update I did last week?

Check that MMS is still turned on in Settings > Messages > Enable MMS.
Have you tried sending one since the update? If you can't send either, does it come up with a red exclamation mark next to the message.
Is it specific people that can't send to you, or everyone?
Which update did you get (you can check this in Settings > General > About).

KIN One m won't receive mms messages

My KIN ONEm won't receive mms messages, I've had the problem once or twice before and every time it's happened it shows this error message "someone sent you a message but it can't be retrieved right now" with the error code "3-4003" it's fixed itself in recent times, but this time it's been going on for a few hours and it won't get fixed, what should I do?

I had the same problem and fixed it by going into:
settings, wireless & networks "more", mobile networks, then you need to "enable" data access over Mobile networks
It will then have a check mark on "data enabled"
After I did that I immediately was able to send and receive MMS.

Can i send and receive mms messages in my ipad ?

how i can send and receive mms messages in my ipad?

You should be able to do this through the iMessage app if the other person is connected through an apple device If not however there are plenty of apps on the app store that you would be able to use to send pics as long as the other user has a smart phone (does not have to be apple)... for example WhatsApp, Kik, Skype etc Hope that this helps!

Difficulty receiving MMS messages

MMS messages. . . photos are slooooooooooow to download to the point of not caring to even to see them. And a group message (including any related responses made my anyone in the group also using MMS) may take hours or days to come through at all. I have both WiFi and 4G (or available service) turned on, with WiFi to be used when available; and Group messaging is turned off. Where am I going wrong? The trouble started within the past 2-3 weeks, after the latest update.
Thanks for the help!

mynameisjack, Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your MMS issues. Lets get to the bottom of this. Just a heads up, you are only to receive MMS messages via data (3G or 4G) and not on wifi. Be sure to temporarily turn off wifi and make sure some data connection is made to be able to receive the message. If you are using a 3rd party application it might work over wifi, but if it is the messaging app that came with the device, then it will only come thru via data. If turning wifi doesn't help, try to go to settings>Apps>All>messages> force stop and clear data/cache. Here is a troubleshooting support page that can also help http://vz.to/1dXZprQ Keep us posted on the progress so we can get your device back into gear in no time. Thanks
