Can't receive pictures in text messages after 2.2 upgrade - Please Help!

I have been having an issue with my Samsung Fascinate. Ever since the 2.2 update I cannot receive pictures people send me through text. It just says downloading and never does anything. I never had this problem on 2.1. Does anyone know why this is happening and what the fix is? Thank you

Hello AyaniB_VZW
Yes, I would see the message and it would just say "downloading". I only use wireless when I am at home, I always turn it off when I am asleep or away from my house so it does not use my battery.
I think I might have figured something out. I un installed the app JuiceDefender. Whenever I was on the phone with support I had my phone un locked and waiting for the test messages from them that worked. Then later on it would stop working but I would receive the messages when my phone was locked in my pocket.  When the phone is locked the app JuiceDefender shuts down all data. Maybe this was causing an issue when I received the messages and my phone was locked. I have removed the app and tested a few times. Each time was successful. We will see how it goes. Not sure if this was the problem or not. I did not have JuiceDefender when I was on 2.1 so maybe this was causing the problem.
Thanks

  • Cannot send pictures via text message since software update...HELP!!!!

    Although I am a BIG FAN of BB Torch (have had several), BUT since it was discontinued, I had no choice but to "up grade" to BB Z10...IT was working just fine...NOT as good as the Torch though, but I was getting use to it...TILL the new software came along last week (Tuesday), so after doing just that, up dating my phone, I saw that I was NOT able to send or receive pictures via text message. I did called ATT, deleted everything, resintalled my data/information...and STILL nothing.
    I "google" the problem, and was sooooo SAD to find out that I was NOT the only one, and that THIS problem is AN OLD ONE (2013), but BB has done nothing to fix it.
    I did read on of the technical support answers and followed every single step, but STILL NOTHING, NADA...no able to send neither receive pictures...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

    Well, interesting... glad it worked out.

  • New iphone can't receive or send text messages

    I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

    It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

  • Can I transfer pictures off my phone onto my desktop? Please help!

    I have the latest BB desktop software installed, along with Roxio Media Manager, and I still can't seem to get pictures off my 8120 Pearl onto my PC.  It sees all the music I have on my 4 GB sd card, but doesn't see any pictures.  Am I missing something here?  Please help!  Thanks in advance...

    1. Yes. Where are you pictures stored,. on your Media Card or in your Device Memory?
    Unplug from the USB and look on your device to Media > Menu > Explore. See where they are.
    2. On your Media card, enable Mass Storage and just look at your Media card from the PC using "My Computer".

  • Can't receive long (2part) text messages and Picture messages say they were sent be they aren't

    I can't receive long (2 part) text messages, I only receive the first part or the second part but never the entire text. Also my picture messaging is unpredictable, sometimes I can send them sometimes I can't, it always tells me they were sent but the receiver doesn't always get them. Do I have to change something in my settings to fix these problems?
    Thanks
    Amy

    My phone has also stopped receiving long texts, (2 part messages). It has now started to receive only part 2. If you find a way to resolve this i would like to know too. Thanks shan

  • HT4865 How do I receive pictures with text (Messages)?

    Someone texted me a picture and I cannot find it.  I use "Messages" for texting.  Can a photo be received there.  Where does it go when it is sent to me?

    It will appear in your text message conversation, just like any other text message.  When you do this it's called MMS messaging.  If it's not working for you go to Settings>Messages and make sure MMS Messaging is set to On.  If it is and it still isn't working you'll have to call your carrier and make sure they have your messaging plan correctly provisioned for MMS.

  • How can I read my old text messages after transfer...

    OK, I've got a couple of problems. First of all, I've been unable to send text messages from my 6620. As detailed in this older thread, 
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=14597
    ...somebody on Yahoo answers suggested a possible fix, but it requires deleting all the text messages in m "In," "Out," and "Drafts" folders first.
    I've therefore been dragging my heels about implementing this fix, as I have numerous text messages on my phone which I'd really like to be able to keep and refer back to in the future. The problem is, the last time I checked, there was no way to read any old text messages that you'd removed from your Nokia smartphone and stored on your computer.
    Is this still the case? It seems ridiculous to be that there wouldn't be a way to do something as simple as reading an old text file on your computer, but as I said, the last time I checked, nobody could point to any app or utility that would make this possible.
    I do recall being able to open certain "Mail" files on the Mac, using TextEdit, but the Nokia had buried the messages inside an incomprehensible structure of layers upon layers of folders and sub-folders, and when you opened the messages, you'd often have to wade through tons and tons of duplicates, all of which had tons of bizarre, random ascii characters showing up in the bodies of the text messages.
    So using TextEdit's not a great solution.
    Please, can somebody tell me if there's a program that will enable me to easily find and read my backed-up text messages? Ideally this would be something that works under OS X, but I can use VMWare Fusion or Virtual PC if there's only a Windows solution available. Thank you!

    As I said previously, "Of course this will not include any messages you had prior to first using Verizon Messages on your old phone."
    Verizon Messages will only sync messages which have been sent/received SINCE you first enrolled in it. It will NOT do so for messages from BEFORE.
    You could restore older messages to your phone with an app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but they won't be on Verizon's servers to access from other locations such as desktop/laptop/tablet.

  • TS2755 Problem with receiving other's text messages after installing new version.

    I just installed the new version for my iPhone.  Subsequent to this, I started to receive a copy of my husband's text messages.  He did not receive a copy of mine.  We have the same iTunes account, however separate phone accounts.  I turned off and back on the phone . . . no change.  Has anyone run across this problem?

    That's because you both are using the same Apple ID.
    The only place to share Apple ID is
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > shared Apple ID here.
    All other Apple services like iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, etc... you both should have unique Apple ID.
    Check especially, Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > only your phone number is selected.
