Cannot receive photos through Messages

Ever since two weeks ago, I have not been able to receive any photos/images through Messages on my iPhone from any non-iPhone users. I used to be able to receive them, but not anymore. I can still send and receive if the other user is an iPhone. I tried resetting my phone and restarting. Even the MMS button is on too.

What trouble?
The message is received with text but no photo, or the message isn't received at all?
More detailed info required.

Make sure MMS is enabled.
Contact your carrier to make sure MMS is provisioned on your account.

My iPod touch 4G doesn't receive photos through iMessage, only typed messages. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Lately my iPod touch 4G has not been receiving photos from my wife through IMessage, when the photo is received I can see it for less than half a second, then it disappears. If I restart my iPod sete it shows up as unknown and a question mark, instead of the actual photo. I have tried reseting my iPod all the setting including network, and have tried turning off the iMessage and back on again. Other than that I don't know what else I can do, so please get back to me as soon as possible I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Troubleshooting songs that skip
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Cannot receive photos via text messaging, says too big to receive

I can receive photos via blue tooth but when anybody sends photos via text it does not arrive or I am told that the image is too big.

Hi,
Thank you for posting the issue here and providing more information. I did some research on the carrier and this is what I found about sending a receiving messages.
Please call your service provider to find out if there are any limitations on attachment sized for your phone plan.
I tried looking up to verify how to manually set up email for the email app for your phone, but was not sure what model you had: please check here for troubleshooting info [http://www.vodafone.com.au/help/devices/ota-settings] if the email is already set up, please ignore.
This lists the networks that work best for sending and receiving pxt in mms overseas and email
[http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/Sending-PXT-to-overseas-numbers]
PXT®/MMS settings [http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/PXT-MMS-settings]
If this continues after any optimizing changes the service provider recommends:
*Are there download settings set in the email menu
*What is the size of the attachment when this happens?
*Is it a specific file type this consistently happens?
*what kind of email account does this happen with, and is it consistent for other emails as well? If so it may be the apn settings.
If you are unable to access the images from the account with Vodafone, it may be the following bugs that is affecting this.

*Does it happen with pdfs? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825318]
*Does is happen when there is no message?
*Does it happen when it is too large and is there a message? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949972]

Cannot Receive SMS Text Messages

I have a Blackberry 8800 on O2 network in UK. I can make and receive voice 'phone calls, send and receive emails and send SMS text mesages BUT cannot receive text messages. When I put my SIM card into another mobile the text messages come through okay. My SIM is not out of space while the "status" in Options/Security/Firewall is set to disabled so is not blocking messages. Any ideas?

I am/was experiencing the same kind of thing. I am in San Antonio, TX and this morning at school my friend (Sprint Customer) said that she had tried to Text me twice this morning. We then tested our phones and saw that she could receive mine but I could not receive hers. Then an AT&T friend of mine sent me a message and I discovered that we can have a conversations just fine.
Then later, after I tried another failed attempt at messaging the friend mentioned previously, I asked another freind (Yet another sprint customer) to text me and we had the same result. Then when he called me to see if i could receive calls I got his last text and many other texts from other people. The problem now is that I still do not reciece all text messages AND the ones I do get come multiple times (I am currently at 5 and counting).
If you find any solutions please let me know

Have android, cannot receive group mms message from one specific iphone

I have a galaxy s4. My mom, dad, and sister, all have iphones. Whenever my family sends me a group message, I cannot receive any messages from my dad's phone. For example, if my mom sends a group message to my sister and me, I receive both of their messages. When she sends a group message to my dad and me, I only receive her messages, not my dad's.
Looking at the message history, group messages on my dad's iphone stay in imessage format (blue) even with my number as a recipient. On my mom's, the messages sent from her are green.
I can receive individual messages from my dad which are green.
I've checked the messaging settings on my dad's iphone and it completely matches my mom's messaging settings.
Is there any reason why his phone is staying in imessage format for group messages as compared to my mom's or my sisters?

I went through this after switching from iPhone to Android. I spent a couple of hours over a period of three days talking to Apple and Verizon support, trying everything they suggested. I finally got this info from a second-level Apple support rep: This is a known problem that will be fixed in some future release. Meanwhile, ask friends with iPhones to send you one-to-one messages, not group messages.

I cannot access Photos through the album app.

My Photo Album cannot be accessed through the album as it is hidden up behind the title.....I can slide it down to see it, but it won't let me view it. I have to go through my camera and view them that way. Can anyone help????

I had the exact same problem. Here is how I was able to fix it:
Double click the home button on your iPhone
Scroll over along the icons on the bottom of your screen until you see the Photos icon button
Press and hold the Photos icon until all icons along the bottom begin to wiggle
Click the red circle atop the left side of the icon and hte Photos icon will disappear
Hit the home button again
Click the normal photos icon and you should be able to access your photos just fine
Hope this helps!

Cannot sent photos via messaging

I have the Droid Charge, with the latest update (EE4). I've done a factory reset, hard reset/battery pull and just about everything else to solve this issue.
Messages being sent via the messaging client (text) with photos get hung up and I get an error message that the message failed to send. On occasion, the recipient says that the photo gets through; largely though, it doesn't get sent.
Anything else I can try? I have tried third party (handcent) messaging apps but have the same error.

Spoke to someone in the network engineering department who thought the issue was with the phone. Just got the new phone, set it up, and still have the same issues.
To recap. Photo (MMS) messaging works 90% of the time in 4G. In 3G or less, the phone hangs on "Sending," I get a general failure to send message and then the phone never closes the connection and continues to attempt to send the photo, draining the battery. Maybe 20% of the time, I get a general failure message and it goes through anyhow. If I attempt to send another MMS, I get "too many unsent multimedia messages" failure error.
Battery pulls have no effect on the phone's attempt to send the photo message, even hours later. This is a new phone, stock everything - I haven't even added my personal apps yet to see if it would work.
This occurs when the recipient is Verizon (tried on two Blackberrys, on Fascinte and one HTC Thunderbolt), Sprint (tried on Blackberry), AT&T (iPhone, Samsung Captivate).
Someone please help.

I updated my 3GS iphone to 5.0.1 cannot receive calls or messages.

I updated my 3GS iphone to 5.0.1 yesterday. I can make calls and send messages, but cannot recieve calls or messages. I called telstra as I instantly thought network problems. My friends and family who are also on telstra have not had network issues. I thought it was strange that this has only occurred after updating my software?? I have restored my phone, reset network settings and still nothing!! Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Thanks,

i have since inserted my sim card into an old phone and then put it back in my 3gs and just received 40+ messages.. not sure why its working now, but it is so I'm happy

Cannot receive contacts through "Share contacts via sms"

Whenever I try to share a contact (by going into contacts and selecting "share contact" and then selecting "message") the recipient receives a text message saying <<contact_name.vcf>> but they cannot import that contact. It doesn't matter what phone they received the contact with, be it iPhone or otherwise. The same happens when I receive a .vcf file from someone else on my iphone (again doesn't matter the origin, iphone or otherwise).
I've also tested this problem and recreated it on all of my friends iphones. They are all iphone 4 and running at least iOS 5.0. Anyone know whats going on? Thanks!

Hi michelefnc
This feature is not available. You may want to consult your wireless provider as they may have a method to move your contacts over.
Thanks
