Bug sending pictures iOS4 on 3GS

I find that the mail app of iOS4 on a 3GS is NOT working properly. There are so many bugs, but the following one really annoys me:
This is what I need to do 1 out of 2 times if I want to email a picture taken with my camera: 1) go to camera roll, 2) choose a pic, click 'email photo', 3) compose email, 4) click 'send', +5) restart phone!+, 6) wait 2 minutes, 7) open mail, go to folder view, 8) go to 'outbox' (created by the mail app, but only shows up after restarting!!), 9) open the email again, 10) click 'send' again, 11) go to 'sent-folder' to double check it was sent this time.
50% of the time, I 'only' need to go to 'outbox' and click 'send' again. (so don't need to restart for that outbox folder to appear).
I find the exact same behaviour when emailing address book cards.
I was wondering whether I am extremely unlucky or whether more people experience this after the 'upgrade' to iOS4

Go I have ios4 on my 3GS and have no problem sending photos fro
The camera roll works perfectly

My iphone 3gs will not send pictures

my phone will start to send pictures and stop half way threw same as text messages everything is slow on my phone i have wifi excellent service even when i am talking to someone i have them on speaker and when i get ready to hangup i half to shake my phone for the screen to come up to end call also half the time no one gets mt text even it says it has went threw

Dunno if this will help...but I fixed the problem for me. I found that after a while the pic messages were showing up as not delivered with a big red exclamation point to the side.
So, here's what I did!
I tried taking a picture with the camera icon next the iMessage text entry box for a text message and sent it, went through fine. Next, I tried sending a pic from the camera roll...finally I got my camera roll back to function. Vwaaaalaaa! Bug fixed. I can now send picute messages again from both locations.
Also, to speed up the functionality of the iPhone, I set to OFF my iPhone 3Gs's Settings>General>Network> Cellular Data button while I was on the wifi connection and turned it back on when I was out and about(the speeds vary when on the cellular data plan anyway).
Well, I hope this helps some.

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.

My iPhone 3GS is no longer able to send pictures via text??

I've done a total phone reset, taken it to the ATT store (they checked all the MMS settings and they were correct), sync'd it to itunes and downloaded all updates...but still can't gte it to send pictures via text?
This all started last Monday when I traveled out to las Vegas...every picture I tried to send would get the status bar about 95% across on the send before popping up a red exclamation point next to the picture that gives me a "message failed to send" error. Here's a screen cap:
[IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/securedownload.jpg[/IMG]
Any ideas?

I had same problem. Check your Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network - make sure your MMSS has 2 // After http, ie, http//... If you have to change this, make sure you switch iPhone off and restart after 20 seconds, go back to your settings to make sure changes have stayed put. Then take a photo and MMS it to yourself, this will take a minute or 2 to go through.
Hope this works for you

Cannot recieve pictures on iphone 3gs w/4.3.2

I have searched and searched, still have not gotten any straight answers.
My 3gs is jailbroken for t-mobile, has cydia.
I put the codes in and can send pictures messages without problems, but when anybody sends me a picture it says "The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction".
A friend of mine has a 3g but did not update to the ios4 software, he put numbers in the "mms max message size" part of cellular data. I copied these but with io4 I believe it doesnt work the same.
So can somebody please help me get pictures!!

Is this why I cannot get a straight answer because of replies such as yours?
I never asked any of the questions you felt the need to "tell me"
I wont get facetime, because obviously I have a 3gs.
I CAN send pictures, thank you very much:]
Im very happy with the speed of my phone, thank you apple!
Only thing I cannot do is receive pictures, hence the question with no answer.
And oh baby its going to happen:]

IPhone Sending Pictures question

I have a iPhone 3G, and I downloaded the 3.0 update, and I know you said we can't send pictures yet but I was looking at the pictures on the website of the new updated iPhone, and it shows there is a picture of a little camera on the bottom left corner of your message screen that you can click on. Am I supposed to have that now? because I dont

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
AT&T will not have MMS available for the 3G and 3GS until later this summer so there is no reason to have a camera with the iPhone's SMS client at the present time. More than likely this will be made available with a firmware update or with an AT&T carrier update for the iPhone via iTunes when AT&T has MMS available for the iPhone later this summer as announced.

How can I send pictures not embedded, but as an attachment? THX

How can I send pictures not embedded, but as an attachment? THX

I had the same problem. I closed the message, tried again selecting the correct imessage contact number and it worked.
I'm guessing I first selected a non-imessage phone number and it got stuck in a gray/can't send mode (bug).

No Picture MMS on 3GS after update to 4.0 software

After I updated my 3GS to the 4.0 software, I lost the ability to send picture messages. If you know how to fix this, please let me know what I have to do!

Same problem in Germany with Telekom. I've tried everything, but the picture button won't appear with iOS 4. The internet connections via Edge/G3 doesn't work either. Did a complete restore yesterday, did the requested update for carrier settings... now i've issues connecting to Wi-Fi too and still no MMS service.
Sorry Apple, but this really *****! Please do something!!

Can't send pictures via text after the update

I completed the update and can no longer use text to send pictures. When I make the attempt nothing seems to happen. When I later try to send another text to that same number, the texting app just quits. Is anyone else having the same issue?

You've posted in the iPhone 4 forum. You want answers about iOS4--you need to post in the appropriate forum.

Sending picture messages and data

Ok, this might have already been answered and I really apologize if it was. I recently went from an HTC Inspire 4G to a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and I'm really really confused. With both my HTC phones (Vivid and Inspire 4G) I never had to turn mobile data on but I still got pictures and could send them with no problem. The 4G LTE icon was always showing on my display but the mobile data in the settings was turned off. Now with the Galaxy Mega I have to turn on my mobile data to receive or send pictures and I never have the 4G showing unless the data is on. I asked AT&T they told me that sending pictures without mobile data was impossible and yet I was still doing it. I love sending pictures when I'm out and about but I've only got 3G shared between two phones because we thought we wouldn't ever need that much since the pictures/videos sent without using it. Now however I feel like I need to pick and choose what I send and what I decide to download from others. I really loved having the freedom of sending pictures whenever I wanted without having to worry about it and why does the 4G not ever show up unless data is on?

Well, the 4G showing means that your phone had established a 4G (HSPA+) cellular data connection with AT&T. When that shows, you can send & receive MMS (the micture, audio or movie) messages. SInce it was showing before, that would explain why you could always send & receive the messages with no problems before. The fact that the messages don't send (or receive) when your cellular data is turned off (and teh 4G doesn't show then) means that on your new phone, the cellular data does turn off completely when you turn it off in the settings.
It sounds to me like your old phone had either a bug where the 4G didn't really turn off when you turned it off in teh settings, or that it had a feature to enable it only for voice and MMS messages. the fact that the 4G doesn't show when you have that setting turned off on your new phone just means that it is actually working properly, even though it is not really what you want it to do. Since I'm not familiar with your phone models, and I don't know what version of Androis you are running, I can't really try to help you to determine if there is a combination of settings to get your new phone to act like your old one did.
After initially posting, I did a quick Google search and found a thread on Android Central where it indicates that some HTC phones (and some Android ROMs) allow for a settign to automatically switch your mobile data on to send & receive MMS messages. I suspect that your previous phone had that and it was enabled and your new phone either doesn't have it, or it isn't enabled. You could try checking to see if your phone has the setting, ut it is just disabled.

HT3880 I can't send pictures

I have a 3gs on ios 5.1 and it won't allow me to send pictures...Any ideas why?

Send how? If you mean you can't send them with messages, go to Settings>Messages and confirm that MMS is set to On. If it is, contact your carrier to make sure you messaging plan is provisioned for MMS.

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.
