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.

You did not get an email, you got a MMS. You have to enable MMS on your phone before you can see the picture.

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!

Multimedia messages won't send

Hi, Just wondering what's going on here. When I try to send a multimedia message from my Nokia N70 it just sits in the outbox and says 'Waiting' then eventually says 'Resending at xx:xx'. The reception symbol under where it says how much reception I have also flashes while the multimedia message is 'waiting' (waiting for what I don't know!).. If anyone knows whats going on or hwo to fix it that'd be great.
Thanks!

Have you ever sent a MMS (Multimedia message) successfully ?
If not you will need to get this service enabled with your network provider.

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.)

Multimedia messaging for N70

I just need a simple guideline about the specifications on sending multimedia messages via MMS on the Nokia N70.
For example the type of image file and size that can be sent along with the type of sound file and the size. I can get the picture onto the message but not the sound file (so what's the criteria for sound files). Thank you in advance.

MP3 and AMR files are supported for audio, jpg and gif files are supported for pictures. Some other format may be supported.
The main limitation of MMS is size. Most networks have a size limit of 300kb's in total (some networks only allow 100kb's) so you can only send short sound clips, very short video clips and the picture may need to be scaled down.

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!

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!

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.

Nokia 6300 multimedia messaging

I live in Dubai which a du Nokia 6300 phone. I have downloaded the mms settings but cannot send multimedia messages to or receive multimedia messages from the UK. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Check if your local ISP supports MMS messaging(send/received, or received only whatever) to other ISP(abroad) or local only, & if the local ISP have an agreement with the ISP's in UK regarding MMS.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Question about image size of multimedia messaging!

Is there any way to send the images of original size . I mean when your select large size in settings still the picture is resized 240*180 . isn't there anyway to send images of size 640*480 ?? by mms
i want to send images of their original size ...
Please kidnly help me !!!!

It depends on two things: The phone model and whether the operator's MMSC allows it (or has a size limit).
On S60 based devices like then N73 or others, you can open the "Messaging" app, hit "Options", select "Settings", then "Multimedia message" and change "Image size" to "Original".
This won't help if the operator's servers then reformats the image, or refuses to send it alltoghether because it is too big.
And, of course, even if you get past both your own phone's limitations and the operator's networks, the recipient's device must also be able to handle it.
If you want guaranteed delivery of original, unmodified images, use email instead of MMS.
