Multimedia Messaging anytime soon?

I don't currently have an iPhone but am going to be getting one soon, however I would really like being able to send (not using some e-mail workaround) and receive (without having to go through that whole viewmymessages.com thing and actually get it in the message) multimedia messages and being able to store them in the iPhone's photos folder. I was wondering if anybody has any idea if Apple is working on implementing this into the iPhone in an updated version or something. I am willing to wait a while for one with this, but would like to know if this is even being worked on. Anybody know anything? Same question about taking pictures from the iPhone's Safari and saving them into the Photos folder, that would be nice too... Thank you...

Mr. OHYEAH1213
I would like to inform you that the reason that the iPhone currently does not support MMS messaging is that ATT use of Flash for their MMS messages. I do not know if you are aware but Adobe and Apple have been butting heads over getting flash onto the iPhone because Adobe does not feel the need to make a special version of said product just because it happens to run poorly on the iPhone. Apple's case is quality control, which means Apple refuses to have software on the iPhone that would make the phone's user experience sub-apple-standard.
The SDK for the iPhone was let out months ago so it will be all in good time before we see anything resembling MMS messaging on the iPhone.
I may suggest you to http://www.pktpix.com/how.html this site tells you how to email any friends cellar phone ( even if they do not have email on their phone ) and through this email a text message will be sent to your friend's cell phone with a link to download the picture message you have sent.
I myself have had small luck with this site but the few times it has work makes it worth trying for anyone.
Best of Luck to us All!

  • 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!

  • For 6500s, switching a multimedia message back to ...

    hi there
    i was sending a long text msg and somehow switched it during writing into a multimedia message. i hadnt noticed i had done it and have not sent one before but it went off ok, however the recipient cant read it. i only wanted to send text. i have it saved and want to convert it back to text to resend. how do i do this?
    thanks for any help

    ok then,
    thanks everyone for your answers. i'll drop my ubuntu as soon as i get enough spare time.
    @peart : i'm confident most hardware should be functional, as it is already using other distros. Except for my nvidia graphics… (it seems to be unstable lately, maybe because of nvidia drivers and/or recent kernels… it can't be worse anyhow.)

  • Saving Multimedia messages!!! Bottom line you just cant!

    Im sure most people have noticed when reciving a multimedia message on the iPhone you get a text message saying:
    "I sent you a multimedia message. You can view my message via the internet at viewmymessage.com using Msg ID xxxxxxxxx Password xxxxxxxx" Well 1st of all that kinda ***** but the worst part of all is once you go to the site, login, see the picture, and then decide you like it and want to save it it doesn't matter if your on your iPhone or home computer! YOU CAN'T!!! Talked to the people at both apple and AT&T and got the same answer from both people and that was as of right now that there is no way for me to save that picture and that I should go on apple.com and leave a message about this and apple.com is check multiple times a day! So maybe sometime in the maybe near future changes will be made and I would b able to save that picture I really wanted to keep, but wait that not all!
    So, I figured I would just save the message, logon ID, and password till maybe when I would be able to save it....Oh forget that idea the message EXPIRES IN 7 DAYS!!!
    So what I got out of all this is that after that point I am just kinda F%$@ed out of being able to keep a important picture to me that I wanted!
    Apple & AT&T lets please see some changes to this soon!
    It would have been great to jump on my home computer, go to the the website, login, see the pic, right click that pic, and save it! Really simple I thought, but I guess not!
    Thanks B

    I think he's referring to the phone itself, as opposed to the computer.
    Anyhow, I don't think this was built with the intention of saving things directly on the phone. To me, the iPhone was built as a synchronization tool, so that things would synchronize to it as opposed to users downloading to it directly. Just think about the security issues this creates! I think it was designed to make the iPhone more secure.

  • Vista 64 bit support anytime soon?

    iTunes functions fine on 64 bit Vista, except that the Burn Engine isn't compatible. I'm greeted by the message "itunes was not installed properly, if you want to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall itunes" every time I start iTunes.
    I was just curious if anyone knew if apple was going to throw some support behind Vista x64 anytime soon...?

    camoracer's onto it. Here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. Note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. Be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

  • Will the LG Lucid get Jelly Bean anytime soon?

    I want to know, is the LG lucid going to get the newest version of Android anytime soon. LG tells me to go to Verizon to answer this question.

    It has NOTHING to do with shareholders.
    Verizon does not develop and manufacturer the device.  LG does...  It's their job to update their phones, and submit an update for testing.  If LG doesn't you will not get an update.  Same goes for ANY manufacturer out there.
    Verizon doesn't care if you get updated or not.  They make money off the services the provide.  They don't care if you are on 2.3.6, 4.0, 4.1.1 and such.  LG makes money from the sale of the device, and the Lucid probably didn't sell well enough for LG to make an attempt to update the device.
    Actually it's selling quite well. And while my little area means nothing in the grand scheme it's actually one of the most popular phones being bought at the local Verizon store. And it's certainly the most popular budget phone.
    I have this phone and I'm fine with it. I'm not sure what the difference is between Gingerbread 2.3.6 and ICS but I'm fine with the current OS. Probably my main beefs are the app layout choices and I hate the talk bubble in messaging. And yes I realize I can get a 3rd party app for messaging but I shouldn't need to. My old phone was an LG Ally and I liked the simpler messaging layout.

  • New feature phones anytime soon?

    Are there going to be any new feature phones anytime soon? I haven't seen any that I like, and am just wondering if there will be any new ones in the near future. Most of the ones sold now are absolutely worthless and the rest (theres only 1 or 2 of them) don't really line up with my tastes and I'd be better off keeping my old phone then get a new phone that will fall apart in a few months or getting one I don't want.
    And please don't just give me the link to the feature phones , I'm completely capable of looking there myself and also please don't tell me to sign up for updates, as I'd rather be told by an actual person than being sent a generic email that doesn't really give me the information I'm asking for.
    I'm just curious if anybody has any information about new feature phones coming out this summer. I'd like a phone with at least some of the capabilities of a smartphone, or at least a phone that looks nice and works well, but I'm unable to have a data plan since all my money is going towards a college bill and my parents are in control of my phone bill.

    Appearently new phones running MP Brew are in the works but I don't suspect they will be out until late this year.  This question has been posted more than a few times and Verizon is unwilling to give an answer.  The fact that no one is previewing a phone should also be telling as to when the new phones will ship.

    Yo,
    Atm im in the market for a BIG lcd (30inch) but the 30" ACD is AUS$3200! way too much for me as the dell 30" is AUS$2600. Can we expect prices to drop on ACD anytime soon..?

    We can only hope so, since we have figured out how to use PNGs as TPIs to do Copyright and Frame overlays as Id Plates, not to mention End Panel images. It would be nice to catalogue them from with in LR.
