I suddenly cannot receive picture via text

Notification says text message not received. So I click on it and it gives me 2 choices download or reject. When I choose download nothing happens. It started this morning and now happens with all picture texts. I have only had this Bionic about a week and it is very frustrating. If you can help please do.

Good morning firecracker123,
As a proud owner of a Motorola Droid Bionic, I absolutely love this device! From the screen size to the dual core processor to the 4G LTE connectivity, this phone is impressive in every way. Picture messages can be a bit tricky at times. May I ask are you able to browse the web and download apps on your Bionic? This will help us determine if it device related or if the issue is network related. Also, what software version, baseband, and kernel version do you have? There was a software update released on 12/9 and I want to confirmed that you were able to successfully install it. If you have done so then please try the troubleshooting steps that I have posted below to resolve.
Verify how much device memory is available (memory card storage as well)
Send test picture message from your phone to your phone to test delivery
Check My Verizon to verify that all message restrictions are removed
Removed any 3rd party text messaging apps
Delete any long threaded messages that you have stored.
Remove the battery and SIM card while the device is powered on and re-insert.
Once you have the completed the steps above, please retry to download the picture message that you received. If you are still having an issue then please reply with your findings so I can further assist!
Thank you...

Cannot receive pictures via text

I am unable to receive pictures via text. My phone is a Blackberry Bold 9900. I have no problem sending pictures.

Looking for suggestions.
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.

I can send but cannot receive images via text

how can i receive images via text?

Hello cschock,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Are you referring to not being able to receive images sent to you over iMessage? If not, receiving MMS requires a cellular connection, and does not function over just Wi-Fi. Please follow the instructions in the article below to resolve the issue.

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.
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=image+email+firefox+os]
*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]

Imessage all of the sudden cannot receive pictures

I'm all up to date on iso and whatnot.
My husband who has an iphone 4s and I text back and forth all the time, inlcuding photos. All of the sudden two days ago (many many days after the iso update) I cannot recieve photo messages via imessage. Nor can I (sometimes) send them. It shows that they are sent and delievered on my screen but the other person never gets them.

As of today, my husbands (iphone 4s also updated to iso 6) is also doing the same thing. Never says Delievered for both of us. We just never get a photo.

Iphone 4 not receiving pictures via text

Is it possible that if I'm using my phone (not calling, but just doing stuff) that I can't receive a picture text? A friend sent a few pictures while I was not using my phone and I received them just fine, and send a few others and I didn't get them, but I happen to have been using the phone (not calling) at the time they were sent. We can't figure out why I didn't receive those other 2 pictures, only can think since I was using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I spoke to AT&T Directly, and they said that MMS was disabled on my account. they enabled MMS on my account again, and that solved my issues!

My bb classic suddenly unable to send/receive photos via text messages

It was working up until a few weeks ago. Now I cannot share photos via text. What happened and how to fix it?

Rebooting the device is the first troubleshooting step for odd issues like that. Resetting is the second. It was more efficient for me to suggest the reset, but in the future you should try just rebooting.
And if you find yourself rebooting or resetting often, take a look at what you are doing, such as the last app you installed, the apps you are running, the apps you have open at the time, in short any coincidences.
For what it's worth I practically never do resets and seldom reboot.

I got problems with the new ios6 in my 3gs. no picture via text message

recently i download the new version ios6 to my 3gs. since then i cant send picture via text messages.

If you still can't send or receive MMS messages
To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

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

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

I suddenly cannot receive or send emails - help?

I had this problem. I checked all settings and they were correct. Purely by chance I changed the setting to recieve emails from manually to every fifteen minutes. This generated a request for my apple ID and I began to receive my emails again. Hope this helps.
