Problem with picture message

Hello Sony Ericsson,
Few months ago I bought "sony ericsson phone W995" and I enjoy this phone pretty much except one thing. I cannot send and receive any picture messages. Every time I try to send picture, it says "MMS setting missing," then I click "install now" but it doesn't work. I did contact my provider "T-Mobil" and they tried their best but they don't have manual setting for this model W995. So I was suggested to contact manufacture that you guys send me a "missing manual setting" to my phone. Unfortunately, after few contacts with Sony Ericsson manufacture I still didn't resolve the problem because manufacture said that I have to talk with my provider about this problem and that I need to have internet on my phone for picture messages. So I do have internet, but as I mentioned above my provider doesn't have "Manual setting" for this model. Can someone help me to resolve this problem please? If in order for my phone to work (picture messaging) I need to buy "setting" I will buy it, just let me know how can I fix such problem. I really need picture messages setting on my phone. And just to let you know, don't send me to my provider because it would not work (I did few times).
Thanks

What do you mean "change network?" Do you mean change mobile company? I actually pretty much happy with my mobile company, and I been member of T-Mobile for 5 years. So it doesn't sound reasonable for me to change mob.comp. just because of such issue. I think there should be negotiation between carrier and phone maker that the customers would be happy and that they wish to use their (T-mob, and Sony..) products in the future. Customer satisfaction should be priority number one for both of you in order for your buisness to be successesful. I would be happy if someone could help me with my phone. It is kind of unusual that mms was not installed in the phone by manufacture. All phone programs should be in there already and the carrier’s responsibility is to make them functional (that is how I understand such business). Also, recently I realized that somehow my phone is able to receive pict. messages and some of them can be opened (not all), but I cannot send any pict. messages(it says "message failed"). So maybe something else is the issue?
Thanks,

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS. The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

I have an iphone 3gs and i cant get it to send picture messages to anyone without an iphone? i already checked to make sure my sms setting is on and it is.

I just bought a used iphone 3gs, (very new to the smart phone thing), and i set the phone up as a straight talk phone. I can send picture messages to other iphones but not to anyone else? I already made sure that my sms setting is on and it is, so is my imessage , mms and group message. anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated

More than likely the problem is with the provider. You will need to check with them to find out what settings need to be on the phone to support MMS. You need to contact Straight Talk. SMS and MMS are carrier functions. The only settings on the phone are the ones you have mentioned, with the exception of APN settings, which are generally taken care of by the phone's carrier settings. I'm not aware of a carrier file for Straight Talk.

TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

Picture messaging trouble

Hey I recently bought an iPhone 3G and I am unable to send or recieve picture messages through e-mail and what not. I checked the settings for mail with my original iPhone and they seem to be the same. I have a gmail account linked to the phone but when my brother with the original iPhone emails me a photo, it emails him back saying failure. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
Rhys

Hi zachary265,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are able to send pictures as iMessages to other iPhone users, but not able to send them as MMS messages to non-iPhone users, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in the "If you can't send and receive MMS" section of this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
All the best,
Jeremy

How do I get picture messaging to work?

when I try to send a picture along with any text message I send out the text goes through just fine but when the picture goes out it says not delivered wheat could be the problem/issue?

GeneGJr66,
We want that picture to send! There are many possible causes to a picture messaging issue. The most common reason is simply a setting. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on. Power off and back on and retest. Let us know if you are still having any trouble.

Groups messages/picture messages not working

I have the Droid Maxx and whenever I try to send a group message, it sometimes take hours for people to receive it. Instead of having a time stamp of when the text was delivered, it just says "Sending..."
I have tried turning the Group Messaging feature both on and off and I still have the same problem.
I also seem to have trouble with sending and receiving picture messages. I will get a notification saying that my message limit has been reached even though I have set my limit to 150 per conversation.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I frequently need to send/receive pictures and group messages. Thanks!

Well have you Tried, like clearing the cache or Tried Factory Resetting the phone usually it's best when you move to one OS to another to clear the cache once or twice and if that don't fix the issue then Factory Reset the Device.. If I'm updating I'll F.R. the phone before or after Taking the new update..

Cant receive or send picture messages

Hi can someone please help me, I have recently bought the Nokia C3 and I cant receive or send picture messages, can someone please advise. Thanks

You need to contact ur operator and ask them to send u MMS & wap and internet settings (Or only MMS), u'll most probably get them via configuration sms, open it, go to options and select "save" phone will ask if to set it as default, select yes. that's it. Try to send Picture message.

Phone no longer can send / receive picture messages after "support" call

Hoping someone can help.
A few weeks ago my phone was having intermittent problems sending picture messages (text are fine). I would sometimes have to retry several times for it to go through, but I could always get it to go through. I have a LG VX9400, btw.
Since it did not resolve itself I decided to place a support call. During that call the technician did "nothing", but after he had me dial *228 option 1 I can no longer send messages at ALL! I was then told I needed a software upgrade or could not be helped further. Now I've received the software update and it still does not work. It has been escalated to engineering and closed (without contacting me) and has been attributed to my phone, but nobody can tell me how they came to this resolution.
I have had this problem in the past where it's been on the Verizon network the configuration has to be changed (there have even been blocks that I've never put on there), but nobody is willing to dig into this and says I now have to reflash, hard reset my phone or get another one.
Also note, mobile web even for account management doesn't work (I did have blocks, have since taken them off so not sure if I have to wait). It also seems I am getting a message receipt failed when I turn my phone off and on, again I only noticed this after calling support.
Any help / suggestions / etc greatly appreciated as I really don't think it's my phone since it was working (albeit intermittent) prior to the "support" I received from Verizon.
Thanks!!

@MySlickDeals
It's very upsetting having picture messaging issues, especially after calling in to technical support and not getting the issue resolved. Let's get this worked on right away.
Have you tried deleting the old text and picture messages and retrying? Please also remove and reinsert the battery and retest.
Does this happen everywhere or just one location? After the software upgrade did they hard reset the device?
Hard reset instructions:
From the main screen, press Menu.
Scroll to Settings & Tools.
Scroll to Phone Settings, press OK.
Scroll to Security, press OK.
Enter Lock Code ???? displays,
enter the 4 digit lock code ( default: last 4 digits of phone number ).
Scroll to Reset Default, press OK.
Reset Default - Preference Settings will be set to factory defaults. Press <OK> to continue. displays, press OK.
Scroll to Revert, press OK
If you are still experiencing issues after this reset please send me a PM and I will look into your account.
Thank you

Error message when trying to send a picture message (multimedia)

I am unable to send picture messages and receive "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages." I tried to upload pictures to print thru the Walgreens app, after becoming frustrated with the application I canceled the upload. I've been having trouble sending messages ever since. I've tried to clear all running applications in the Task Manager, and checked the Multimedia message limit through my Messaging Settings and increased the limit. I can't figure out how to clear the unsent multimedia messages, can anyone help? Thanks!

Was your 3G data connection active when you were trying to send the pictures? Have you tried to send picture to yourself? Dial *228, option 1 to reprogram the phone to the Verizon Wireless network?

Nokia N97 can't send picture message to Nokia 5800...

I have a Nokia 5800 and my partner has a N97 and he can receive my picture messages but he is unable to send to my phone. We have gone through all the trouble shooting with our service providers.
I put my sim card in two other new nokia 5800's and the message didn't come through, I then put my sim card in a different brand phone and I got the picture message! The phone shop said it must be a incompatibility between to two phones, I don't understand how two new nokia's can't send a picture message, has anyone heard about this? Any fixes??
Thanks

I have the same problem as you with picture messages. I have a friend in Australia who has a Nokia E71 and she cant either. This has happened ever since i have had a Nokia phone both N85 8GB and now my N97.
I havent found a answer and we had no troubles when i had a sony ericsson could send and receive pictures.

Cant send a picture message, message size limit reached

My droid razor just recently started to not let me add pictures to messages. It says the pictures to large that it has to be resized, its always said that but then it would resize it and it would send. but now it is starting to say message size limit reached sorry, you cannot add this picture to your message i tryed to use old pictures in a message that ive previously been able to send and i get the same message. My pictures are set on widescreen 6MP right now and video resolution HD+ (1080p) i tryed changing these settings and it still doesnt work. i have pictures that are 1.2MP and they wont even send. it wont let me send a video or audio either only text. Please help!

zjoy622011-
I definitely want to help restore the devices capability of sending photos! Has the device gone through any recent updates? Is this just picture messaging, or also photo sharing like Facebook, Instagram, etc? If you are using any third party texting apps, I recommend trying the built-in messaging app instead. Also, what city & state are you located in? I want to ensure there are no issues related to the network involved here.
Keep me posted!
Thanks,

Picture messaging help!!!!!!

Ever since I bought my brand new unlocked palm treo 680 I have been unable to receive or send picture messages. My service is through GCI and I have unlimited data texting so that is not the issue. Is there a setting I need to do to my phone to allow this? If so can someone please walk me through it?!
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Are you using MMS on the Treo?
Look on page 97 of the userguide for the instructions on creating and sending MMS.
Here is the link. http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.palmone.com/documentation/treo680gsm_UG.pdf

Picture message help!

I tried to send a picture message but it wouldn't go through. I turned off iMessage and set it to go through SMS, but it still wouldn't go through. I then turned on cellular data and it worked. Why is data connection needed? (I'm new to iphone)

MMS & iMessage REQUIRE a data connection. For MMS, that means a cellular data connection, for iMessage either cellular data or WiFi.
