6500 slide stalling when sending MMS

Just recently, my 6500 slide won't send MMS messages. It just seems to be stalling and then ages later, I'm getting a message saying that message sending failed.
I'm not always receiving MMS messages either - I get the same message - that message sending has failed.
If I try to resend or retrieve, it's just hanging and then telling me that it's failed again.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Alison

hey thanks for helping! i appreciate it. well i dont know if my settings are all correct, but it seems fine to me. in my account, i did apply for texting for both sms/mms, and mms works if i put my sim card in my other phone, but for some reason this phone just wont work with mms.  i dont think the 6500 slide was a USA phone so could that be the problem?
if i were to contact my service provider about this problem, could they help?
yes, i never did recieve the sms setting from nokia. i entered my number and all that good stuff in there about 5 times and never recieved an sms.

  • 6500 slide freezes when receiving SMS

    hi,
    I own a brand new 6500 slider, its only a few weeks old and it has a very upsetting bug.
    when the music player is on and the keys lock automatically (set for 1 minute), and i receive an SMS, the phone simply freezes.
    The keys are useless, the light wont even turn on when i open the slide, the screen still turns of in its fashionable manner... the only thing i can really do about it is removing and returning the battery to its socket.
    Software version is 4.84.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,

  • Apple Mail seems to stall when sending messages

    I've had a problem for a few days now with my Apple mail. When I compose and send a message, it seems to stall and stays in my Outbox for ages. The spiral wheel spins continuously but the message doesn't get sent. In a few cases, the mail has taken 24 hours to send. I called my ISP and they said all my connections were fine - and that it was a problem with Apple mail.

    +VERY FRUSTRATING!!! FIX THIS APPLE!+
    Unfortunately, these are user to user forums and no one from Apple will be replying to you. Also, please do not use all caps - it is considered shouting. And, since very few users are reporting this problem, it would appear to have something to do with your setups rather than a problem Apple needs to fix.
    For both of you: There is obviously some problem with your software or hardware; you might want to try either to delete your mail account and recreate it (in Mail -> Preferences) and/or quite Mail and go to Users -> Library -> Preferences and delete this file: com.apple.Mail.plist. Please note: doing so will necessitate recreation/set up of Mail, so it would be advisable to take screen shots of all of your settings in your account(s) so you can easily copy them if necessary.

  • Resize Picture when Sending MMS

    Hi,
    If I try to send a large picture as an MMS I get a message that the file is too big. If I try to send as email I get prompted to resize. According to the documentation from RIM, I should get the same dialog when trying to send as email or MMS. However, I only get it on emails and can't resize my pictures in MMS.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!!!

    Your MMS options will vary from carrier to carrier and what they support. Some carrier offer different options for MMS.

  • Printing stalls when "sending data"

    All was well.... then I tried to print something by selecting the adobe pdf8.0 printer. Didn't notice that had stalled until I tried printing something else later with my Epson 580. I can hear that the printer is starting up, but nothing else happens once it says "sending data". I've cleared the queue, and when I do, you can hear the printer stopping. I can not print from any application, or with any printer. I've also tried to reset the printers, and remove the preferences. The scanning function on the Epson does work, so its not a cable issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try logging out and back in as a different user, creating one if need be, and attempt to print from the other user.

  • IPhone 4 original video resized when sending MMS :-(

    Hello,
    I was just unhappily surprised upon finding out that the original HD video I shot of my baby was resized to a lower quality when I sent it via MMS. The lower quality video was later imported into iPhoto. Is there a way to prevent the automatic resizing of the original video? I couldn't find a switch for it in Settings.
    Thanks,
    Ira

    For an HD video that is larger than the overall email message size limit to be sent and received via email, you can get a YouTube account if you don't already have one and upload the video to YouTube with your YouTube account in full size and resolution - which must be done when connected to an available wi-fi network for HD video. When the upload is finished, you can notify others via email that the video is available on YouTube to be viewed with a direct link to the video.
    If you don't want the video available to the public, you can select Unlisted for the video so only those with the link can view it, or you can make the video Private so only specific YouTube users can view the video.
    The overall message size limit for MMS is quite small, which was/is a poor man's way for cellular carriers and cell phone manufacturers to provide very limited email exchange with a cell phone - before there were any smart phones or way before phones in the smart phone category became mainstream, but SMS/MMS is a cash cow for cellular carriers which they make a fortune with.

  • Text messages stall when sending to other iPhone users from my iPhone5- recently started, how to get the texts to go through instantly?

    Recently, after updating for i0S7, when texting other iPhone users, my texts never go through.  However, if I hold on the test it will give me the option to "send as a text message" and will send immediately (with the green message, unlike the blue that use to send to iPhone users).  How can I get these text messages to go immediately?

    Reset your network settings:
    1) Turn off iMessage
    2) Reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Netwok Settings
    3) Turn iMessage back on
    Note: resetting your network settings will delete any stored WiFi passwords.
    Best of luck.

  • When sending multiple MMS messages is there a limit to how many you can send in a group?  My iphone4 will not let me send more than 10.  My 3gs I was able to send over 20 MMS messages at one time.  when I try on this phone I get the red exclamation mark!!

    When sending text messags from my iphone4 it will only allow me to send to no more that 10 contacrs at a time.  On my 3GS I was able to sendto well over 20 contacts at once.  When I try to send on this iphone 4 all I get is the red exclamation mark and a message saying message not send and to try again.  Is there something wrong with the way I have my setting?  I use this feature alot so I am really trying to figure it out.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I understand that the limit is 10 people when sending MMS messages. However there is a much higher limit for SMS messages.
    If they would suit your needs, try disable the switch for "MMS messaging" on the Messages page of the Settings app.

  • 6500 slide sms size indicator

    Hi
    I have a 6500 slide, and regularly send long texts, a friend was showing me her phone (Sony Ericson) has an indicator as to when you have reached the limit of 1 SMS message as you type. Having been cained by using my phone abroad this month, it would have been useful to have this indicator set up in my messages. I have looked in the manual, but not seen it there. Does the 6500 have that facility to set an indicator?
    I hope that makes sense!
    Thanks
    FC

    a single text message is limited to 160 characters. on s60 phones somewehre on the screen there is a 160 indicator and it depletes the longer your message, when you run out of characters it will show you 2 indicating that you have started your second message. look either on top right or left for the 160

  • External SMTP server on Nokia 6500 slide

    Is there any possibility to change the SMTP server setting for email on nokia 6500 slide? When adding an email account the phone automatically assumes that you would like to send the emails thru the mobile providers ISP, but i have an external ISP with SSL login at port 495.
    Is it possible to get any advanced settings in this phone?

    It sounds like a hardware problem. Unfortunately we can only help with settings and software issues here.

  • Continuous music possible 6500 slide

    I have transfered albums to listen to on my 6500 slide and when playing them back, the player splits songs which run in to each other, up with a short pause. Can I have the continuous original version. Also some songs from albums are transfered out of order, can these be re-arranged on the player to be back to correct order?

    Hey enriel,
    Just to clarify your problem and re-enact the situation, you will be playing 'x song', when it changes to 'y song', the title of 'x song' is still displayed, whether the music player is shown on screen or not.
    If so, I am having the EXACT problem, my exact firmware version is 7.15 (the latest that I can find). If a solution is found, I can't wait to hear it!
    Nokia has also been alerted of this bug, but please, if anyone finds out soon, again I would love to hear it!

  • EBay mobile on my 6500 slide?

    I've tried looking in the settings, but, i can't seem to find a way to display the items i'm selling.

  • 6500-slide sd card

    Good evening
    I have a nokia 6500-slide with a card(map) sd of 256mb,
    Everything worked marvelously and since yesterday my telephonne does not want to recognize any more the card(map), he(it) did not fall, I have make nothing of special with, somebody has an idea?
    Thank you

    There have been some issues with the memory cards on the 6500 Slide. When the battery cover is removed, the memory card is deactivated.
    On the back of the battery cover, next to the hole for the camera lens, is a a protruding metal piece which holds down the switch on the circuit board that creates the contact with the memory card, allowing it to be activated.
    Check that the back is fitting correctly - if not, it will not be making contact with the switch. Failing that, it is worth getting the phone checked out by a Nokia service point. Don't try to adjust anything on the phone's body yourself, if you cause further damage you will invalidate the warranty.

  • HT3529 i have a problem with mms in my iPhone 5s when m trying to send MMS

    i have a problem with mms in my iPhone 5s when m trying to send MMS then a message appears on the screen 'cannot send messageMMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send this message' but in settings there is no setting available to inable MMS in message settings

    Had the same problem. Have you checked your Cellular Data Network MMS fields? You should write there your MMS settings (APN, username, password, mmsc, mms proxy and mms max message size). You can get the data from your carrier. After that you could need to restart iPhone.  Worked for me.

  • My 3g has stopped sending mms and when i receive one i have to view it on 02 website

    My 3g has stopped sending mms and when i receive one i get a msg from 02 telling me to view it on their website - Help anyone please? Thanks

    Have you checked that MMS messaging is switched on in the Phone Settings?  Even if you thought it was, settings sometimes get changed.  The only other suggestion is to talk to your network provider about it.
