Good afternoon lawnranger22-
Thank you for taking the time to visit our community! Lets get these picture messages working for you. Does this happen with a specific contact on your phone? Are you able to send them pictures like normal? Please ensure you are using the built-in messaging application, and that the messages have not reached their limit per thread. You can check this under Messages > Menu > Settings. Keep me posted!

I have an HTC Droid DNA and I live in a pit - it takes 30 min to download MMS picture message. Is there a way I can download MMS over WiFi?

I have really bad reception at my house, and I want to be able to download MMS picture messages over WiFi. How do I do that?

How is service once you leave your home?
- Not any different. I have to drive a block or two to be able to send MMS messages with no hassle.
Are you aware of any resolution tickets filed to investigate issue?
- No

Why won't my Intensity 2 download picture messages?

My friend sent me a picture and my phone wouldn't download it. Then I tried sending myself a picture with my email and it worked. But, I still can't get pictures from other people. Help me?

obxrach, I'm sorry your having issues with receiving pictures. I know this can be frustrating because most individuals with picture messaging send and receive pictures as much as text and phone calls. Pictures you receive may be do large download. You may also need to clear your memory. I have listed information below about file sizes and steps to clear your memory. Also try removing the battery for 1-2 minutes and dialing *228, option #2 to update your phone to the tower.
The maximum file size for picture / video messages varies from device to device.
Devices that are 1X capable only can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
Devices that are Rev 0 EVDO can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
Devices that are Rev A EVDO or LTE can send / receive a maximum file size of 1200 KB.
Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.
Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB). A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient.
Steps to clear memory:
The memory capacity of this device is 105MB (built-in, flash shared memory).
From the main screen, press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose Menu.
Select Settings & Tools then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Memory then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Phone Memory then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Phone Memory Usage then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
If the phone memory is full, unused items may be removed from the phone:

I get the"download iPod updater"message &downloading the updater won't help

Here's what happened:
I plugged my iPod into my iTunes to put music on it.
It says "Do Not Disconnect" like it alwasys does, but this time doesn't go away. It stays for 45 minutes. IN an act of desperation, I disconnect.
I lose everything.
"Not a big deal" I think, because I can just put the stuff on my iPod again.
I connect the two, I get the "download iPod updater" message. I download it. Same thing.
I uninstall and reinstall about 3 times.
Still same thing.
PLEASE HELP.

im having pretty much the EXACT same problem with mine. tried the "5 r's" yadda yadda, completely useless. this is my second ipod, i had a 4G that died a few months ago, which had the same problem, but about 6 months after i bought it. my 5G is brand new, got it for xmas like most people, next day i plug it in and BAM, its been blinking that **** little red circle for days and ive tried everything. im just gonna make use of my warrenty and send it in for repairs. ill post if i figure something out before then.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

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
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

Hi, I have recieved a picture message twice from the same number to my email address but can't open as there is no attachment. Can anyone help? Is

I Have recieved now 2 emails from O2 saying I have a picture message from a mobile number sent to me. the email has the paper clip which I know usually means there is an attatxhment.

You did not get an email, you got a MMS. You have to enable MMS on your phone before you can see the picture.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
