Issue sending picture messages

I have no issue sending or receiving pictures from other people with my S4; however, when I send pictures, I'm regularly told by who I was trying to send it to that it wouldn't come through or wasn't attached. On my end it looks like it when through, though. Some of my AT&T friends receive a message saying the message was deleted. I have the issue with all carriers, including Verizon, and with mulitple different phones. I've checked the Global/LTE mobile data issue and this problem happens when I'm on WiFi and when I'm not. Happens at least half the time. Sometimes, they get it if I resend it, but many times it's a lost cause. Really frustrating...I didn't have this issue with an iPhone, but it's making me want to switch back.

I'm using the original messaging app. I don't have issues using 3rd party applications.

Why won't my iphone 5 send picture messages

So I had an iphone 4 which was configured to another network, a GSM network but now I have an iPhone 5 which is on AT&T's network. It seems that my iPhone 5 wont let me send picture messages unless its through imessage. Could this possibly be due to the network setting that were on my iPhone 4 ? if so how do i reverse this

It shouldn't have anything to do with the iPhone 4 if your iPhone 5 has been activated properly. You would've received a new sim since they use different size sim cards. Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. This will give your phone a reboot and fix any network related issues. Also, try going into Settings>Messages>Make sure MMS Messaging is turned ON.

Brand new LG G2 and unable to send picture messages?

i was able to send picture messages until two days ago. Now I am unable too. Is there anything I can do to be able to send pictures again?

I was told by a service tech that this is a known problem with the LG G2. It apparently was caused by a google update and they aren't correcting it till September, by apparently doing another update.. I am on my 2nd LG G2 phone. My 1st one worked for3 months and started not sending pics or receiving pics with messages. The 2nd one worked for 3 days before it started doing the same thing. I did everything they told me to do plus a hard reset which I did several times and only works for 3 days. And who wants to reset their phone every 3 days. My phone also will only let me open a few emails before I get a "failed" "server not responding", try again later. Have no idea if that is connected with the pic text messages or not, but it is annoying. If google can not get the issue corrected then I understand they will issue new phones. I really don't understand how everything is connected and if someone can explain it further I'd like to hear. Hope this helps.

HT1688 why cant i send picture messages any more after upgrading to IOS 6

Yesterday my iphone for some odd reason turned to reovery mode and I was forced to restore&update my iPhone to the iOS 6. Now I can no longer send picture messages. i would like to go back to iOS 5.1 because the 6 is also draining out my battery and also for some reason my phone, again like yesterday, went into Recovery mode! It is really fustrating. I spoke with AT&T and I am still on the unlimited SMS&MMS plan. I dont know what the cause is of all these issues but I hope someone can fix it fat because every restore takes up 3-4 hours

I've never been able to share FaceBook posts nor seen the option using the iOS FaceBook app regardless the FaceBook app and iOS version. I can Like and I can Comment, and if I select a link or video to view under iOS 6, I can use the Share option for the link or video, but not for a post.

Hi, cymoneW.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to send or receive picture messages via the cellular data network. I would check to make sure that MMS is enable in settings. This setting is located in Settings > Messages and MMS Messaging. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select Messages.
3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable. Enabled when set to ON.
Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
1) From the home screen, select Settings.
2) Select General.
3) Select Cellular.
4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
On /Celluar data enabled
Off /Cellular data disabled
Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

WHY WONT MY PHONE SEND PICTURE MESSAGES

Why wont my phone send picture messages?

iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
make sure MMS is turned on in message settings.
are you provisioned by your phone carrier to use MMS?
If you're still having issues contact your cell phone provider as MMS is a carrier feature.

Moto G stopped sending picture messages

Can't send picture messages anymore no matter what. Have used WIFI and Verizon network. Using Pre-paid account

That's definitely strange, tjfaloon. Especially if you can get online with no issues. I recommend speaking with our prepay team, so they can verify if your account has been provisioned correctly. We work with post pay accounts. Their number is: 888-294-6804.
Thank you. Keep us posted.

Network authentication failed error message when trying to send picture messages

I have a family member who is trying to send picture messages from Dubois, WY. Verizon's map shows that Dubois is in the extended enhanced services area. I am guessing that this may be one of those instances where the coverage map is not 100% accurate. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be or how to resolve it.

Customers have the ability to take pictures / videos anywhere. However, messages can only be sent, received, or uploaded, while in the Verizon Wireless National Enhanced Services Rate and Extended Network Coverage Area.
Try dialing *228 send and option 2 to update the PRL on the phone. Updating the PRL or Preferred Roaming List, ensures the phone is getting the best service possible.
You can also check the coverage area at the link below:

How to send picture message using J2ME sms APIs?

Hi,
I experiment with SMS APIs, i successfully send simple text message. now i want to send picture message, how to send picture message using J2ME APIs.
please guide me.
guna.

I experienced in coding sending and receiving sms in J2ME. Besides, I also esperienced in coding reading a binary file in a applicaition jar. But I never done these both together. Hence Im not sure it works or not. Below is the example to open and read a binary file:
InputStream oInputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "/picture.png" );
if(oInputStream == null) {
//File does not exist;
throw new Exception("File not found");
//Read the binary file and copy it to a byte array
byte[] abyPicture = new byte[oInputStream.available()];
oInputStream.read(abyPicture );

I have an iphone 3gs and i cant get it to send picture messages to anyone without an iphone? i already checked to make sure my sms setting is on and it is.

I just bought a used iphone 3gs, (very new to the smart phone thing), and i set the phone up as a straight talk phone. I can send picture messages to other iphones but not to anyone else? I already made sure that my sms setting is on and it is, so is my imessage , mms and group message. anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated

More than likely the problem is with the provider. You will need to check with them to find out what settings need to be on the phone to support MMS. You need to contact Straight Talk. SMS and MMS are carrier functions. The only settings on the phone are the ones you have mentioned, with the exception of APN settings, which are generally taken care of by the phone's carrier settings. I'm not aware of a carrier file for Straight Talk.
