Multimedia message problem droid turbo

My droid turbo has stopped receiving and sending picture messages. It worked. And then randomly stopped. It says "sending" for hours or even took 3 days one time to actually send.
&& when recieving picture messages it pops up as "download" & won't download or show the photo for hours or even days.
I did today's system update, turned it on and off & in safe mode.
Nothing works.
I have signal. I have unlimited texting. And the phone has a lot of free space.
Help me.
Its been like this since around thanksgiving.
Is it just my phone?

    my2kidsrup, Thanks for the details. We're super excited about the Droid Turbo so I'm sorry to learn that you're having difficulty with Picture Messages. Is your phone connected to Wifi when this issue occurs? The phone does need to communicate with our Mobile Network to automatically download, send, and receive picture messages. Which application are you using when sending/receiving picture messages?

  • Multimedia messaging problems

    Whenever i press the download button within multimedia messages i recieve.....it says downloading but then nothing happens. There is no notification in the status bar or anything until a few minutes later in the status bar it says generic network problems. Whats up with that?

    Hi LinyantiDinc2,
    I understand the importance of being able to save pictures that are sent to you in a message. I'm sure it's frustrating that your device is not performing this function. Are you able to send pictures successfully? Please attempt to send a picture to your own mobile number, as this will test both your incoming and outgoing capabilities. 
    I have researched my references on this device and I am not showing this as a known issue. Please understand that I am not doubting you. I would like to provide you with some troubleshooting steps.
    Please perform a soft reset of the device. Note: you will not lose any data on your device. Below I have provided these steps.
    -Remove the battery from the phone while it is powered on
    -Wait 60 seconds
    -Re-attach the battery and power the phone on
    -Have a picture sent to you and attempt to save
    Please let us know the results, as we want to make sure that your picture messaging service is functional.
    Thank you!

  • Droid Razr Maxx Multimedia messages

    For the past couple of week, my droid razr maxx has started not to allow me to respond or send anything that is considered a multimedia message. At all. This is extremely frustrating. I'm a college student and often use this as a way to contact my parents, friends, and classmates. My phone is up to date and I have both Wifi and my data plan turned on. I can receive multimedia messages just fine; however, I cannot send or reply to them.
    Can anyone help me? I haven't even had this phone for a year and this is just the latest problem I'm having. My sister and mom have this phone as well and they're having no problems whatsoever.

        I know it's very important to have an operable device to communicate rcripps. Let's get to the bottom of this! Are you connected to the wifi connection while the wifi setting is on? When you attempt to respond or send do you notice the signal indicator connecting to 3G/4G for a few moments? Are you able to send/respond with wifi off and connected to the Verizon Wireless network? Try powering the device off and removing/inserting the sim here http://vz.to/19QSEGL test and share. Thank you.

    I can't get Droid Turbo bluetooth to work in my 2005 Prius.  Droid Razr worked fine.  It seems to pair OK, and everything works great immediatly after pairing.  After stopping and restarting car there is a message saying it found bluetooth device, I can still place a call with the car system, but no sound or microphone connection to the car system.  Android tech support just said, "yea, that happens."  I have version 4.4.4.  Any ideas?

    Automata,
    Oh no. Is never fun having issues with bluetooth. Did you have this issue with any of your previous devices? When this happens what steps do you take to get it working again?

  • I have the Droid Razr Maxx HD and I cannot send multimedia messages while connected to WiFi.

    I have a mobile data "signal," but need to disconnect from WiFi whenever I want to send a multimedia message, including a group message. I can receive multimedia messages while connected to WiFi, sending them is the only issue. Is this a common issue? And is there a fix for it?
    It's very inconvenient as my phone is almost always connected to WiFi and I often use group messages for work.

    Don't believe someone who tells you that you have to turn off WiFi - I FINALLY got someone who knew what they were doing at VZW - and she had me do the following - and VOILA - it worked!  This is a known issue and level 2 support has access to many similar cases
    Call VZW Tech support and tell them you want them to do the following:
    1. You turn off your phone
    2. They "Refresh the network on the voice and text side"
    3. They "Sync network with billing"
    4. You turn your phone back on
    This solved my problem......

  • Droid Turbo Group Texting Problems??

    Just switched my daughter over from an iPhone to the Droid Turbo.  She is using the messaging app on the home screen.  She is no longer able to receive group messages, be added to groups from the other end, or send to groups in her contact list. Thoughts?  Fix? Alternative app suggestions?  Would love to fix this before she heads back to school in the next couple of days.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Where in settings is group message on/off button??
    The 3 button overflow.  Everything working fine for me even with this type of reception in NC. 
    Anyone who knows I am from Hawaii...  Yes I am doing field work and Verizon coverage at this connectivity is still better than the other major carriers.

  • Droid Turbo Moto Assist Sleeping Problems

    My Droid Turbo Moto Assist, Sleeping function doesn't appear to work correctly.  I have it on (see the moon icon and it is during set sleep hours).   Under Silence, I had only Favorite Calls enabled to get through...  Tested from a Non Favorite phone and it rings/displays on my screen.  I also have the Keep My Screen Off option selected.  I verified that cell I called from was not a favorite and even tested with Favorites Calls not enabled.  The call still comes through and displays on my screen.  Seems to defeat the purpose of "Sleeping" option.  Screen lights up too with the caller's contact info.

        We certainly want to make sure your phone is functioning properly, Anna_Droid_Maxx. Did you possibly have the "Someone Calls Twice" enabled on the Silence options? If testing a number of times in a row, the phone may recognize this as an emergency call. When you go into the Moto application, tap the settings in the upper right corner. What Version are you seeing?

  • 3 Droid Turbos in 4 Days, A true story of potential Verizon Employee Fraud and Insulting Service

    If you want to hear a worst case scenario with verizon employees and new hardware defects, here you go. Kudos if you read the whole thing, I don't expect most people to...unless you're one of those people with a faulty battery/camera flash/screen/speaker. Then, enjoy and beware. What follows is a true story. Thursday 10/30/2014 12pm – Purchase Droid Turbo #1
    – Went to Verizon Store and worked with sales associate John to purchase my new droid turbo. I traded in my OG droid razr maxx for $100 rebate, and then John tried to “sell” me a wireless charger for the device by saying he could waive my upgrade fee to apply towards the product. Having already read about the promotion for waived upgrade fees, and knowing it is not only applicable towards products in store (as John was insinuating) I declined, feeling decidedly like John was trying to take advantage of me and the lack of knowledge I may have about current Verizon promotions. Friday 10/31/2014 –Full Day with Droid Turbo #1
    Used Turbo Unit 1 for 24 hrs, after charging to full. My battery drained unusually fast, so that I was getting less than 20 hours on the battery. I took screenshots of my battery reports during two full discharges to demonstrate to reps that the battery was in fact underperforming, knowing that evidence would be useful because it is hard to just look at a phone and tell it has a battery issues. Saturday 11/1/2014 – Return Turbo #1 for Turbo #2
    11am- Returned to Verizon store. I worked with sales associate “Ross” and brought my concerns to his attention. He also frequently made furtive trips to have whispered discussions with Andre, who I assume is his manager, throughout our conversation about my wanting a replacement unit. They did a “test” on my phone in which they just opened up a call and let it sit for 15 minutes, then said “oh it looks like it drained normally.” As if they know, on a phone that is literally 2 days old. I could tell they were (removed)me, they had no interest in looking at the battery data I had saved on the phone demonstrating the VERY fast discharge, and when I expressed my displeasure, Ross again went and had another whispered conversation with Andre, and he came back and said “we want to help you out….” He proceeded to tell me that they would replace the unit for me. He then went into the back and came out with a box in one hand and another Droid Turbo unit in his other hand—I never saw him take it out of the box. He switched my sim card into the unit he brought from the back, and said I had to keep my current box/etc and did not give me the matching box with the unit. Here is the first time I have a unit that doesn’t match my box/IMEI number information. This is despite me requesting the box to keep the serial numbers consistent. Saturday 11/1/2014 – Later that Day with Turbo #2
    When I get Droid Turbo #2 home and start using it that evening in low light conditions, I see that there is a noticeable change in color from the top left to the bottom right of the screen. It was evident in multiple apps, and although subtle, is very apparent when you utilize a graphic designed to test color and brightness consistency on a display. (I used Display Test app, “viewing angle graphic” which demonstrated clearly the screen was not uniform.) I make plans to go in on Sunday and have it exchanged for a unit with consistent color reproduction. 
    Sunday 11/2/2014 – 11am. – Returning Turbo #2 for Turbo #3
    I return to Verizon for the 3rd time in 4 days. At this point, I am feeling decidedly emotionally raw from my previous experiences in which I felt that employees had ZERO interest in what I had to say or show them. I explain that I’m here to have my device replaced because the screen color is not uniform. They immediately get General manager Steven S. to deal with me, and after taking a cursory glance at my unit underneath glaring overhead can lights at the front desk (where you can hardly see the screen anyways) tells me “He doesn’t see a problem.” I am detecting barely contained hostility at this point—I feel that the employees have labeled me as a “problem” to be dealt with. Another employee, Matthew, hovers nearby the entire time I’m dealing with Steven, making me feel even more ganged up on and adding non-helpful comments from time to time. At this point they have made no effort to get any information from me. I needed to tell them that the flaw is visible in dim light, when the screen brightness is turned down lower, and how you can see it in certain apps, etc, but they took a defensive posture from the beginning as though they had already decided I was wrong. After nearly 90 minutes standing at the counter arguing in front of MANY CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE, that there was a flaw that CAN BE PERCEIVED, I plead for them to just LOOK more closely at what I’m trying to show them. I am at my wit’s end at this point, ready to cancel my contract.  Steven S. finally goes to get a magnifying instrument resembling a jeweler’s loupe, and looks at the test graphic that clearly shows the non-uniform screen through it. HE AGREES THAT HE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A NON-UNIFORMITY IN THE COLOR REPRODUCTION ON THE SCREEN!!! This is an important point, because later on I am told that “there was no defect found on the units I returned” by Solutions manager Jeff. Steve S. agrees to replace the unit as defective and tells me Matthew will get my replacement. Matthew then goes into the back and does not emerge for nearly ten minutes. Just to get my unit from the shelf? When he comes out of the back, again, he is holding another turbo unit in one hand, and the box it may or may not have come out of in the other. Like Ross did for my last replacement, Matthew swaps my sim card into the other unit, but does not give me the new box despite my asking to exchange, again, to keep serial numbers consistent. At this point they could have given me back the unit I had returned the day before and I would not be any wiser. I’m feeling more and more uncomfortable about the lack of transparency in this process, and the way employees at this store are handling my complaints and concerns in general.  I leave the store, vowing never to return and completely emotionally traumatized and exhausted from the process. When I get home that evening……and start to use my Droid Turbo #3….the flash starts to malfunction. At first it just misses timing on a photo every third or so, making photos oddly red and dark. Then, it’s giving an odd “half flash” instead of a fully bright flash occasionally. Solutions Manager Jeff G, sent me text message following up on my customer experience. I responded:
    (Mon, 11:31 AM) “the camera flash has been wonky on two occasions, like it isn’t timed right with the shutter..I’ll wait and see how it works out.” He does not respond. Sunday 11/3 and Monday 11/4 – Turbo #3 Flash Not working at all, periodically. As I’m testing the camera over Sunday night and Monday morning, the flash stops working completely on three different occasions. Even when set to “always on” the flash has just stopped turning on. It gives a weak “half flash” the first time you try after it’s been sitting a while, then just never turns on again. This happens on and off as I test the camera in various lighting situations. Clearly a malfunction, by any definition. Again, I text Solutions manager Jeff G:
    (Mon 6:49pm) “Hahah crud. My flash no longer works at all. Apparently it wasn’t going to be ok.”
    Jeff G responds:
    (Mon 7:06pm) “At this point, any manufacture defects needs to go through Motorola directly. We have exchanged 2 devices already for this line we will not be able to exchange out a 3rd device for the same model. If you are still unhappy with this device we can exchange it for a different model phone and we will waive the $35 restocking fee, however, if you feel this is just a manufacture defect you can reach out to Motorola at 800.734.5870 or motorola . com So according to the Solutions manager , there is a 3 unit limit per customer on models of the same device, despite experiencing manufacturers defects that employees admitted were in fact manufacturer defects? I respond:
    (Mon 7:06pm) “ I didn’t realize there was a limit on manufacturer defects! What would you recommend? Is a non working flash on a phone that has taken less than 50 pictures a manufacturer defect or a feature of the droid turbo? Because I’d love to have your answer on record.” Jeff G responds:
    (Mon 7:13pm) “After reviewing the devices exchanged the manufacture defects that were reported are not currently listed as defects by Motorola as a result the devices exchanged were done as a courtesy as a Verizon customer. Future defects should be reported to Motorola. Again if you are unhappy with this phone we are willing to make a final exception to waive the restocking fee to exchange the device for a different model.” So, at this point I am insulted and offended. First of all, the devices I returned were not exchanged as a “courtesy”—I had demonstrated and provided evidence, BEYOND WHAT SHOULD EVER HAVE BEEN NECESSARY OF A CUSTOMER YOU WANT TO BE COURTIOUS TO, that each of the devices I exchanged were not performing as advertised. Secondly, he is flat our refusing to honor Motorola’s manufacturer’s warranty, despite the fact that I have had the unit for less than 24 hours and it is in PRISTINE condition.
    Can a Verizon employee (Jeff) arbitrarily and retroactively change the terms of your exchange of a defective device? Verizon is contractually obligated to provide you with a device that functions as described, but instead Jeff is saying “basically, we took care of you because you whined about it hard enough.” This is despite the verbal attestation of multiple employees at the location that the defects were indeed noted at my time of exchange. Tuesdsay, 11/4/2014 – I call Motorola. (Case # XXX-XXXXX) I take Jeff’s advice and call Motorola- I still want a functioning Droid Turbo. Talk to Tech support about flash issue, they agree to send a replacement unit no problem. They ask me for the IMEI number. This is where the problems created by the employees at the Verizon Store Maple Village come to the surface.
    I give Motorola my IMEI on the box (XXXXXXXXXXXXX) —but it doesn’t match my device info in their computers. (Remember how they would not give me the matching boxes with my exchanged devices?)
    So we investigate further. Motorola tech has me dial a number that gives me Droid Turbo #3’s internal number. (IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXXX) I get put on hold…and apparently escalated to Tier 2 tech support because the number I gave them isn’t matching the numbers they should have in their system. Fraud alarm bells have gone off, something about what he saw in the info attached to the IMEE# of my device.
    Motorola tells me that the Verizon employees have done something wrong, and perhaps even illegal, in processing my exchanges. He says that I need to return to the store and request a replacement unit, with the matching box, serial numbers, parts, etc. This effects my warranty, and apparently could be related to illegal practices behind the scenes at this particular Verizon store? He’s vague about the details, but says they need to escalate it. He gives me a case number and says I’ll be contacted within 48 hours during the investigation. In Summary:
    I don’t know what to say at this point. I demand as many replacement Droid Turbo models as is necessary until I receive a unit that functions as designed and advertised, without defect or flaw, and not as a “courtesy as a Verizon customer,” but as a “fulfilment of the contractual obligation Verizon has to its customers.” This does not seem to be an unreasonable request, given that I am paying for a product and service. 
    Update at time of publishing: My camera flash has not malfunctioned in 24 hrs, I don't know if it was just working out the kinks, was software related, or new battery, who knows. I don't. What I do know is I have 0% expectation that I will get a replacement unit, so I'm probably just dropping the turbo instead of risking having an unwarranty-able device with no Verizon support and a potential faulty flash.

    Me? I wouldn't want a device with that many problems and would take the offer to change with a waived restock fee. Who wants to deal with that?
    My phone advertises a 17 days standby time but I have never gotten that. When I use it for things like Facebook, texting, call, web browsing or anything else it drains the battery. Happens to all mobile devices.
    Was this purchase made at a corporate store? They should have scanned the new ESN onto your account and not just switch the SIM. They would only give you the new box if you had the old box with you.
    In either case, if they're still willing to waive the restocking fee, I would switch devices to a different model. It is not up to VZW to make sure that your device is not defective. That is up to the manufacturer of the device.

  • Unsupported multimedia messages!

    Is there any fix to recieving this message?  My husband has a phone that isn't a "smartphone"  his is the flip phone.  He receives messages from iphones my "smartphone" just says unsupported multimedia message.  Do I have to give in and buy and iphone or will the droids fix this problem?

        That is very likely, Kay-pea!
    I know you want to be able to view the messages on your Droid Pro. You should have someone try to send a picture in email form to see if it can be read that way, but normally it is a compatability issue.

  • Droid Turbo missing calls, delivering texts late, not capturing call history, not updating e-mails

    My wife got the Droid Turbo Ballistic Nylon just before Christmas as a replacement for her iPhone. She has been complaining that she is not getting calls, e-mails, text messages, voice mail messages. Last night, my son called her twice from California and there was no answer. Checking her phone there is no voice mail from him and her call history shows no attempts. I re-booted the phone and she suddenly got a flood of e-mails, call history, texts messages. She uses this for business and this is negatively impacting her buisness.
    This morning I did a test. I forwarded an e-mail from her phone to me and then I replied to that e-mail, which is set up as IMAP on all devices. I could see my reply on her PC but nothing her phone minutes later. This test is being done in my home with all devices on the same Wi-Fi network. I re-booted the phone into Safe Mode and the e-mail came through. I don't know if it was just the additional length of time or putting it into Safe Mode. Based on the number of issues with multiple applications (she also says she is losing contact information) I am beginning to think that this is a hardware or OS problem. Anybody have any ideas?

    I know that IMAP is sometimes set to auto-sync only every 15 min or more, according to default or user set amount of time.  When you rebooted, the phone auto-synced with the email server.  As far as missed calls and those not showing in logs, I'm not sure.  I can say this though, I was missing calls and voicemails and came to find out that the Advanced Calling HD Voice VoLTE updates had negatively impacted my phone's service.  I have since disabled and service is better.  Perhaps the Turbo also has HD calling enabled and is experiencing similar issues because of that.

  • How do I delete ALL emails on Droid Turbo (pop3)?

    I have a Droid Turbo, and love it. But I cannot figure out how to mass delete (all) emails from the phone. I use Pop3 to my email.
    I know you can swipe individual emails to delete or press and hold on an email to select, then do the same individually to many and then delete, but I cannot find a "delete all" option like my previous Droid Maxx. Because I haven't been able to keep up with it, I have over 999 emails sitting in there with no way at the moment to delete them all unless I spend a few hours deleting each one, one by one.
    Any help here?
    Thanks.

    That is extremely disappointing. If I delete the account from my phone, will it delete all the messages that way? I might have to find a way to delete and re-add the mail into the phone as the current amount of messages is a large bloat to the phone.
    Also, where do I suggest this "delete all" be added to the phone? This was on the Droid Maxx and previous versions. It is odd they would remove an option that could cause extreme bloat.

  • How do I make it so my phone can send Multimedia messages again? Samsung Intensity II

    I'm not sure if this is even where I am supposed to post this, I've been having a few difficulties navigating around the site as it is, so my apologies if it is in the incorrect section or anything.
    I have a Samsung Intensity II, and up until today it was perfectly fine. but now it wont send Multimedia messages anymore, I think I may have accidentally changed a setting on it some how. So far I haven't seen any other problems with it.
    Every time I try to send a Multimedia message of any kind, to anyone, it will sort of freeze on the percentage sent bar, for about 5 or so minutes, and then it will continue through all the way to 100% pausing like that, and then say "send failed would you like to try again?"
    I can receive Multimedia messages, and text messages, I can send text messages, but not multimedia messages. It fails every time.
    I have turned my phone off and back on, I have removed the battery and put it back in, nothing has changed. actually about the only thing I've seen change since the first time it wouldn't send, is that it pauses on 29% instead of 19%.
    If you can tell me what setting may have changed this, or another way for me to transfer my pictures, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.

        Hi okikust,
    I use picture messages all of the time! I understand why you would want this corrected as soon as possible. I would like to look at your account, in order to determine the root cause of the issue and fix it! Please send me a DM with your name, mobile number, and contact number. I will be happy to review this personally. Thanks!

  • Has anyone had issues with blue tooth in the car with Droid Turbo

    Every time I play the music on my Droid Turbo via Bluetooth in my car, I end up having to do a factory reset in order to use the phone via bluetooth.  I can tell the phone to dial a number or I can answer a call but the person on the other end can't hear me even though I can hear them loud and clear.

        Belynda227,
    That's definitely odd, we certainly need to get to the bottom of this so you can use it safely while driving. Have you been able to use it in the past without completing the factory reset? The factory reset deleted everything from your phone, is that the type of reset you're doing? If so, you need to pair your phone every time, which explains the problem. Is your car compatible with the phone? Some cars are not compatible, in this case some features work but not all. Use http://vz.to/11fpca7 to review compatibility.

  • Multimedia Messaging

    I use a Samsung Brightside and I have this problem for a while already. When I receive a multimedia message and try to download it, I get "message receipt failed". Sometimes I receive the messages with no problem, and I don't have any problems sending multimedia messages at all, I just have a problem receiving them. Most of the time the message receipt would fail which has been making me frustrated. I have looked online for any solutions and had no luck at all. It was recommended for me to switch over to using a smartphone, but I don't want to because I use an iPod touch that almost does everything that an iPhone does and it saves me a bunch of money. I tried to restore my phone and reset everything and still the issue is still occurring.

    I am paying all this money for 'unlimited data,' and yet my data is being limited.
    SMS & MMS are not part of data access over a cellular network and cost money if one goes over their messaging allowance where email does not. The data exchange involved with sending and receiving email is included with unlimited data which costs all of $20/mo and includes 200 SMS which is the most reasonable by far unlimited data plan made available by any provider in the U.S. for any phone in the smart phone category. There is a 300KB or less message size limit with no such small message size limit with the exchange of email. All other phones need to catch up with this capability.
    It undermines and insults every Iphone/Apple customer who are the ones to thank for promulgating the company's success.
    For you and some others but not for me and definitely not for ALL iPhone owners which you don't and can't begin to speak for nor can anyone else. I rarely if ever used MMS with any previous cell phone - primarily because I wasn't interested in seeing a mediocre quality photo at best captured by a cell phone and viewed on a tiny little screen which wasn't the best either.

Maybe you are looking for
