  • Cannot receive pictures sent through text

    I was able to receive pictures sent through text up until two days ago. The first time I couldn't receive pictures I went to the hub settings -> display and actions --> turned on "download images automatically" and it worked.
    Now I just get "You have a message awaiting retrieval. Click the button below to download it" i can click on "download now" 10 times and it won't do anything.
    Help! 

    Hi newz10 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Because picture messages are sent via the MMS service, I would recommend contacting your wireless network provider to ensure they are not having any issues with MMS or your account in general.
    Thanks.

    I have verizon but i was having the same problem but i just kept messing around. to save picture txt on a palm centro into the palm album, you click on the image icon that appears next to the txt, and then you press the button that is next to the alt key. and that will give you a list of things to do, including save picture and you can select which album you want to save it to

  • My friend upgraded his phone last night from an older version of the Samsung galaxy to the Samsung s4 galaxy. I'm an iphone user and now he can't receive any of my text messages. HELP!

    So last night my boyfriend upgraded his old Samsung galaxy to the Samsung Galaxy s4. He was able to receive a few of my text messages, but then they randomly started saying "not delivered." I turned on and turned off my phone, and tried the turning off and on imessage and facetime but nothing has worked and I still can't text him. I am receiving his messages just fine, I just can't send any to him. I looked onlne at Apple Support for help but I noticed a majority of the problems were coming from people that switched from iphone to an android, but he has always had an android and I've been using the same iphone 4s the whole time. It is really bugging me, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

       Would someone send me the "steps" on how to print those pictures?

    The phone creates two drives, one CD ROM and a SD CARD the SD Card will be the last letter on the computer, in the screen shot mine is J", just look for last letter and open and images will be in "Messaging" folder.
    Make sure you saved the files to card first...  JUST VIEWING IT DOESNT SAVE FILE...  Follow instructions below to save....

  • 5530 - Can I see who sent the text message that is...

    When I receive a text it tells me I have a message waiting. Is there anyway the 5530 can tell me who the sender of the message is?

    Commonly you probably have 2 of every contact so the mobile doesn't know which to display - check your contacts.
    Most commonly this is because contacts are on your sim and phone the best way to solve this problem
    go into;
    Contacts->Options->Settings->Conctacs to Display
    then chose phone memory only
    Note you may want to copy all the contacts from sim to phone first to make sure you have all your contacts

  • HT3529 Since I updated to ios7 I cannot receive pictures on a text from another iPhone

    Since updating to the ios7 I can't receive picture on a text from another iPhone any thoughts.  It says it's downloading but never does

    I'm having the same problem. I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.
    MMS is on, and I can send pictures successfully. But when I receive them, the photo shows up for a split second before it becomes a downloading icon which never changes.
    Can anyone help?

  • Wife and I have an Iphone 4s, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send a text to her. I also do not receive any of her text messages. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Both my wife and I have an IPhone 4s.  All of a sudden, when I text her, she receives my text, but the history on my IPhone disappears as soon as I send the text.  Also, I don’t receive any of her text messages.  Though while testing and trying to troubleshoot, I have sent a text message from her phone to my phone and I do hear the text sound message go off on my phone but no text.  Though I on my icon, I do see I have 1 new text message and as soon as I click on it, the text message will disappear if it’s from her. Now I have noticed when I call her the history also disappears now.  I can call her and she can call me from the phone successfully.  Just can’t receive any of her text message and no history is retrieve from my phone. Can anyone please help??? Just to share, I have hard booted both phones, deleted and re-added our contact information and in the ‘Message’ settings, we both have the message ‘on’, Send as SMS ‘on’, MMS Messaging ‘on’ and under the ‘send and Receive’ field, it has my number listed with a 1 and area code…1 (210) xxx-xxxx.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5 send pictures in a text message?

    Ever since I updated my phone I can't send pictures in a text message.  It just freezes right before the staus bar is all the way across the screen and then I have to send it as a text message.  Sometimes after I do that the person I am sending it to gets both pictures.

    Mine is doing the same exact thing. It has that red exclamation mark. Can someone please help?

  • I bought an HTC one 2/28/14.  I had no trouble sending or receiving pictures with my texts.  I had to update my phone 6/5/14 and since that time I cannot send or receive pictures in my texts.  How can I fix that?

    The thing is, before the update, I ALWAYS had my wifi on, and I had my mobile data off.  Worked flawlessly until the update.
