Lg Lucid 2 not receiving/sending picture messages

I have had my LG Lucid 2 since November of this year. I have almost never been able to send or receive picture messages. I switched to Verizon from T-mobile for connectivity and customer service issues and am not particularly impressed. I have followed instructions in the troubleshooting guide and am still having the same problem. I have removed the Hangouts app and prefer to use just the native messaging app on the phone. Incoming picture messages display as an image saying "download" that never downloads. Outgoing picture messages never go through with the exception of one time in early December. Yes, my data plan is on. Yes, I have cropped the images to be smaller sized. Yes, I have restarted my phone. No, I do not use signatures. Any suggestions/help are greatly appreciated as this is extremely annoying.

    Midoriko, we're here to ease your frustrations. It's important to us that you're able to send and recieve picture messages on your device. First, let's make sure that WiFi is disabled OFF in Settings>Cellular data>WiFi OFF. You will then need to power your device off/on and test the picture messaging feature. Keep us posted.

    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.

  • TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

    How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

    Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

  • Droid 4 not sending picture messages

    All day I have had problems with my Droid 4 not sending picture messages. I can recieve them, but not send. Regular text messages go through fine. I've had a 3G signal all day, although the mobile web does seem to be running a bit slow. I just got this phone 5 days ago, and have had nothing but problems with it ever since. I had to get a new sim card the very first day.
    I live in central Ohio, was just wondering if anyone else was having problems, or knew of a solution

    Go in to Settings--Apps--Manage Apps Click on ALL,  Find the "MESSAGING" app and open.  When you are in MESSAGING, click DISABLE or FORCE STOP.  Next, click CLEAR DATA.  (a warning will tell you that you will loose all your data and messages, click OK.(all of my messages were saved)).  Now, click ENABLE if you dont have the enable button just exit out.  Then either (1)Exit to the home screen, go into the APPs manager (white circle with 6 dots) and find the MESSAGING icon.  press, hold and drag it back to you home sceen. Or your Message icon will still be there and it will just reenable on its own, just go and try to send your pic and it should work.
    Did for me, did for my brother.  Hope I've helped, and hopfully this is a permenant fix.  I've been sending more pictures now a day later and it still works.

    Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

  • MMS is on but still will not send picture messages

    Every now and then I have a problem where my iPhone 4 will not send picture messages. I have checked MMS and it is on as well as cellular data and everything else involving sending or revieving data (except for mobile hotspot, but that's irrelevant).
    It will send pictures via iMessage (I sent a picture to an iTouch)
    it will not send pictures via text message.
    it WILL send text messages.
    turning WiFi off or on does not affect outcome
    turning MMS off to try to send via iMessage through WiFi results in the picture icon going away
    I've tried turning the phone on and off.
    I'm thinking there might be an error with the SIM card, where it may not think I can send picture messages...
    When sending to someone who has an iPhone, it will not try to send via iMessage it goes straight to text message.
    nothing works
    please help
    thanks.

    nevermind, I got it to work. Still don't know what happened, though...

  • Cant receive or send picture messages

    Hi can someone please help me, I have recently bought the Nokia C3 and I cant receive or send picture messages, can someone please advise.  Thanks

    You need to contact ur operator and ask them to send u MMS & wap and internet settings (Or only MMS), u'll most probably get them via configuration sms, open it, go to options and select "save" phone will ask if to set it as default, select yes. that's it. Try to send Picture message.

  • 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:

  • Nokia N97 can't send picture message to Nokia 5800...

    I have a Nokia 5800 and my partner has a N97 and he can receive my picture messages but he is unable to send to my phone. We have gone through all the trouble shooting with our service providers.
    I put my sim card in two other new nokia 5800's and the message didn't come through, I then put my sim card in a different brand phone and I got the picture message! The phone shop said it must be a incompatibility between to two phones, I don't understand how two new nokia's can't send a picture message, has anyone heard about this? Any fixes??
    Thanks

    I have the same problem as you with picture messages. I have a friend in Australia who has a Nokia E71 and she cant either. This has happened ever since i have had a Nokia phone both N85 8GB and now my N97.
    I havent found a answer and we had no troubles when i had a sony ericsson could send and receive pictures.

  • 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.

  • 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 );

  • 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.
