N97 MMS issue

Hi All,
Im a newbie on here but im looking for some advice to help resolve an issue with MMS. I have had this phone for nearly 12 months but never really used MMS only to find that when i try it wont work. When someone sends me a message it appears as atext and wants me to sign into Vodafone website to retrieve picture and when i try to send one it just hangs in my outbox and will eventually fail.
I have had a look and so far i have follwed some instructions on vodafone website, and today i updated software to very latest release. Still no joy with MMS. Is there anything i could be missing or should i phone my provider?
All other features a re fine, email and internet use all work its just MMS.
Please help

Contact your SP for the right packet-data MMS settings. Some providers limit the size of messages to e.g. 300KB
‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

Nokia Lumia 928 MMS issues on unlocked device

I'm a Finnish guy and using Elisa as a carrier.
I got the chance to purchase unlocked Lumia 928 with a decent price so I checked its specifications (GSM Arena site) and also found out it could be used internationally.
It seemed to be a brilliant phone (and it sure is) so I purchased it.
But now I'm facing the problem with the MMS messages. All settings are just OK and I can send MMS messages successfully but I cannot receive them. The phone announces that "you've received a message which has media content" but when I try to open the media content, nothing happens.
This seems to be quite common problem (at least when I'm reading those most popular Windows Phone discussion forums) but I haven't found a solution to it. Someone has just said that because the phone is made for a particular carrier, it has "specialities" in its firmware. Well, the phone uses same MMS settings for sending and receiving MMS messages so how come MMS messages won't get thru to my phone correctly? I'd also like to know how the MMS firmware settiing are different between Lumia 925 and 928???
And most of all I'd like to get a remedy/solution to fix the problem from Nokia/Microsoft people Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, I suppose that even though Verizon has ordered these phones from Nokia, all the settings, applications and characteristics were preloaded to the phone at the factory. So in other words Verizon would've delivered preconfigured things to Nokia before the manufacturing process and would not start to fiddling around (=to install all the setting, apps and characteristics) when they received the phones from Nokia.
Therefore someone in Nokia/Microsoft must know the differencies between the stock firmware and the Verizon firmware, especially if we're now talking about these MMS issues. And I wanna know it. If I'd ask the same question from Verizon, they probably would not know the difference between those aforementioned firmware.
It's not rocket science, I guess it's just because of those preloaded/-configured differencies between the stock and the Verizon firmwares...

Crossing my fingers..found a solution to MMS issue on the LG G2

So, I've been pouring over forum posts here and elsewhere discovering that this MMS sending/receiving issue I've been having is not "just me" and seems to be an android/google issue with no future fix until at the earliest Sept. I was all set to go to my local store and trade it in for a different phone. The service guy there just happened to have the LG G2 as his own personal phone and was confused about this "issue" I was having. He said he's had this phone since earlier in the year and never had an issue. Even since the Kit-Kat update. The biggest difference between how he uses his phone and how I was using mine is that he's always used Hangouts instead of the stock messaging app. Since I read on here that a few others have had success with Hangouts...I figured I'd do a factory reset and start with Hangouts and see if that doesn't work. Just thought I'd suggest this to others to try as a solution. We'll see if it doesn't revert to messing up again in a couple days.

The issue with the LG G2 not receiving MMS is the same across the board for a lot of G2 owners. The issue isn't any different. Some have found fixes or work-arounds, but no one has found a solution. This goes back to a message I posted earlier in the forum community about VZW customer support not having good communication or a support page that provides them with issues. Too many times I have read a reply by VZW support that asks what is going on, or provides a statement that says we want your device working correctly. It appears to those who look to this forum for answers or suggestions, that VZW doesn't take note of this MMS issue for G2s. The issue is that at some point, we lose the ability to send/receive picture messages through the native messaging app. While no one has pinpointed an exact cause, the Tech Coaches have indicated there is a "known device issue" and that an software update is in the works. Yet, I haven't seen any replies from VZW community customer support mention this to those writing in. The lack of information that flows from customer support is troubling. Nothing in this world is perfect. While we all want our devices to work correctly, it is more about letting us know that you are aware of an issue and that you are attempting a fix for it. Too many have no idea that there is a compatibility problem with the device.

Camera issue,MMS issue continues

Is anyone having issue with camera popping on when phone is touched? Multiple times when I pick up phone I will notice it start snapping pictures when I left it locked. Camera app isnt even on first screen. The MMS issue of sending double texts out is still occuring as well. Last month BB working on issue, but its no better!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Good luck!

N97 network issues

hi there - after finally managing to update my software last night - it seems now a new set of issues has cropped up on this nightmare phone.
Wondering whether anyone can help.
I cant seem of access the network destinations. So the phone now only seems to want to search of a network that I used in a coffee shop and has that one as the defualt. there is no way of going beyond the initial access point menu. The network 3g internet will not work on the phone either.
Seems to be a glitch on the software as before the update it was working well.
I even tried to restore to factory settings but that has not worked either...can anyone help??

Hi,
I've got the same problem.
I cant browse the internet or use any apps that require network access since the firmware update.
I ran a software update on my N97 using the Ovi PC software from v11 to v12 and now I cant access any of my network destinations/wireless networks. I cant access the internet via 3G either.
When I try to view my networks in: Applications > Connectivity > Destinations... I cant access the 'Uncategorised' link which contains all of my set up access points to delete and re-create them.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this??

Just Another N97 Major Issue ..

Here's Another issue in the Awesome N97 ... I left it recording a Video for like 22 min , then I pressed Stop .. It then
said " Processing " .. then .... TADAAA .. Nothing .. came back to camera View .. No Captured Video was there or even processed
Lovely Phone :/
Lens Scratch - Freeze After Phone Calls - SLOW - Self Restart -5MP Camera is Nowhere Near the Sonyericsson 3.2 Awesome camera -Vibrating issues - Mass Storage issues - & the list Goes On & On ..
This Device Does EVERYTHING that you dont want it to do for 620 $
I WILL NEVER GET 1 INCH close to a Nokia Device .
Thank You for wasting my Time & Money .
N97 .. Working or Not , it's still a *bleeing* Rip OFF .

I wouldn't recommend the N97 to anyone because it doesn't do what it says it does on the tin. It's the worse phone I have ever had and I've gone and tied myself in a 2 your contract so I better learn to live with it.
My handset constantly crashes (I would say a few times a week) it can be when a call is coming through to my phone. The only way to get it working again is to switch it off and reseat the battery. On a couple of ocassions it hasn't come back on and I've had to leave it and retry it and eventually I've been able to switch it back on.
My phone crashed this week and I got some sort of memory error (yes on a device that has 32GB internal memory and I have a 16GB memory card). I went into the file manager and noticed that the phone memory was low. I managed between clearing memory errors to get into some settings and changed the save location to mass memory and memory card.
Prior to the crashing I had a problem with the phone not holding the charge, luckily when I took it back to the Phone4U shop the assistant tested the charger on another N97 had the same problem so swapped the faulty charger for a new one.
Another weird thing my N97 does is that although I have a default ring tone set the phone intermittently rings with a different tone.
The BBC iPlayer doesn't work, well that's not strictly true I can get to it but every single TV show I try to view comes up with "Sorry, but to play to BBC iPlayer programmes you need to switch to a WIFI connection". So I exit BBC iPlayer and connect to the WIFI and then go back into BBC iPlayer and it still comes up with the same WIFI message.
Oh and yes I recently updated the firmware... and guess what it didn't make a blind bit of difference.
Nokia I challenge you to sort my N97 within the next 2 weeks and if not you provide me with a phone up to the same value from your Nokia store.

N97 message issue NO solution found on google

Hello
i just bought a N97, and im in a region of +5, and we are on day light saving. i am using an operator service (warid) and if someone sends me msg from same network carrier then i receive that message with time of 1 hour before howerver other network carriers are working fine. ive tried changing the region and used other sims of same carrier but nothing helps. basically its picking time from carrier NOT what is on my mobile. can anyone please help me.
thank you

I believe all phones take the SMS time stamp to get the actual time the text was SENT not when you RECIEVED it... it would be pointless otherwise or you'd never identify a Delay... this sounds like a network issue... unless someone corrects me

MMS issues

Hi,
I just got my iphone 4s a week ago, had my number ported from tmobile. Ive been having issues with sending pictures over via regular text messages. Sometimes it just wont send the picture, it takes so long that it finally gives the message that it failed to send (even with at least 2-3 bars, mms turned on in settings, *228 option 2 completed). Other times it will send, but it takes more than 3 minutes to send and starts to chew up the battery. I've restarted my phone, reset my network settings yet nothing seems to work. This doesn't happen on iMessage though, just over regular MMS. Does anyone else have this issue with their 4s? Anyone know of other options that worked for them to try to fix this issue?
Thanks

Hello niravac,
Thanks for your response kaebfly. Niravac I can relate to your concerns regarding sending picture messages. Are you still having this issue? Are you unable to receive picture messages? Can you send and receive text messages? Is this happening with all your contacts or certain contacts? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.
Thanks,

HT3529 iOS6 Non-iMessage MMS Issues

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4, I can only send MMS messages to people on iMessage. I am paying for unlimited. Everytime I try it pops up "Not Delivered" and I do not understand why. From what i have seen, I'm not the only one with this issue. I am very frustrated and am not finding a solution. I read you can use a T-Mobile SIM Card or something.. but I do not feel comfortable wit that. I don't want to jailbreak because I did that and hated it so un-did it and upgraded to iOS6 and can no longer sned pics to friends/family without iMessage and it's ridiculous. Please someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

02 MMS issue?

Hiya,
I have taken a photo with the camera on my new handset, but it wont let me send as an mms? the setting are done for 02 etc, but just wondered in anyone else has this? it emails the pic fine, just wont send as a picture message. is it because its a large file or something??
Other than that Im very pleased with this new one and have no other issues!
Thanks for any help.

Cheers man, I just tried it again and it works fine. Sorry to waste your time! I feel an idiot now but its all working, thanks again!

IPhone mms issue

Please try this:
Turn on iMessage
Turn on mms
Turn off send as SMS if imessage fails
Go to camera roll, select picture, then the share button and pick message
Send to a non ios person
Does your message automatically fail as the phone automatically tries to send as iMessage?

Last night was the first time I had attempted to send a picture via MMS on my new Iphone4. I took a picture with the phone and attempted to send it but kept getting a red exclamation point indicating failure. It would load to about 98% and then fail. I tried rebooting etc but nothing helped. This morning I did two things and finally got it to successfully send a picture.
1. I turned on location services for the camera
2. I cleared all history/cookies/cache (setting>safari>clear history/cookies/cache
I took a new picture with the iphone4 and sent it successfully. I turned off the location services for the camera and tried to send a previously failed picture and again it failed. I turned the location services back on for the camera and the previously failed picture went through successfully.
Either there is an intermittent problem causing the issue or the location services has to be "ON" for camera in order to send a picture via MMS. Give it a try and see what happens.

Outbox MMS Issue

Hi All,
I've a nokia 6680 branded "3" from Italy.
In the OUTBOX folder there is a MMS with the status "defered". I've tried to delete and move but the MMS is still in the folder.
Have you an idea to remove this issue?
Thanks
/Andrea

You should be able to move it to "Drafts" and then delete it. Have you tried that?

N97 multiple issues.

I figured on starting a new N97 problems thread. I received my phone in the mail yesterday. Two days have gone by and I’ve had so many problems that it’s hard to keep track of them all. I guess I should tell you first what I’m working with here.
Model: N97, Type: RM-505, Software version: v 22.0.11.0
When I got the phone out of the box I noticed Ovi was malfunctioning with a “Script initialization failed” error. First thing I tried was to uninstall Ovi from the application manager. That failed with a “file corrupt” error.
Next I tried to hook up to my computer via Bluetooth. That is partially working however I continue to get an error “Support software installation failed” when trying to install the Ovi support software to the phone.
Then when I hook up to USB windows gives the error “USB device has malfunctioned”
Finally when I connect the USB cable it doesn’t matter what mode it’s in, Mass Storage, PC Suite, Multimedia, or Image transfer, I am never prompted to select a mode, even though the “Ask on connect” is marked as YES.
Oh, also the phone never charges via PC USB. Must be wall charger.
The problems that I have had seem very common among N97 owners. Let me tell you what I’ve tried so far:
1, uninstall, reboot PCSuite cleaner, reboot, reinstall.
2, soft reset *#7780# and hard reset #*7370#
3, different ports and different computers
4, *#0000# and update, tells me I’m current
5, different USB cable (ca-101 from my n81)
6, connecting the phone to pc in offline mode, and powered off
So far I’ve read the following articles and have found no value in them.
/t5/Ovi-com-Ovi-Store-Ovi-Share-and/Ovi-Store-stops-working/td-p/472158
/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/N97-charging-prob/m-p/505560
/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/USB-Problems-N97/td-p/497419
/t5/Connectivity/N97-USB-connectivity-problem/td-p/521341
Can someone please tell me how to fix one of these issues?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All right folks. I figured it out for myself. You can close and lock this thread.
Applications -> office -> file browser.
If the E drive is unformatted...there’s your problem.
Options -> format mass memory.
Huzzah. 30GB of internal memory spawned outta nowhere.
Its nice to know the brand new out of box N97 is shipped with corrupt or unformatted memory. Be sure the first thing you do when you break it out of the box is to format that lovely 30gb internal memory so that you can finally load a map or two.
Cheers,

Known MMS issue with iPhone 4?

I recently upgraded my wife's phone from the original iPhone to the iPhone 4, however she cannot send MMS. Text messages work fine. I called AT&T and after about 40 minutes on the phone with them they didn't have an answer, they stated they reset the carrier settings and had me reset network and all settings. I restored the phone as new, and still nothing worked. The lovely folks at AT&T did give us a follow up call back on 12/27/10 stating the this is a known issue on Apple's end with people who have upgraded to iPhone 4 ios 4.2.1.
So, do you know about this? Any suggestions?
MMS is on, Data is on...

Hello,
I am in the same boat. On phone with AT&T for over an hour, transferred to tech. support. Mms on, reset settings, 3G and cellular on. I also upgraded from original iPhone to iPhone 4. Finally tech told me that it's because it shows I still have the original iPhone and that someone has to manually go in and change the setting. She couldn't do it, her supervisor did not have access. She said that ticket was issued and it can take up to 32 hours, it's been close to 48 hours and nada. She is suppose to call me back today. The only thing I did not try is to set up phone as new. The rep said that it's on AT&T's end.
Please let me know if you get your wife's fixed.
