Picture messaging problems

I have had my droid for over a year now, and in the last month I have begun experiencing issues when sending or receiving pictures via text. If i try sending a photo - the same way I had for the first year of phone ownership - the message status is sending. I have had one message keep the sending status for 3 weeks, and it never went. I didn't change any of my settings -it just stopped sending.
Also,when receiving pics via text I am now asked to download them - which can take up to 5 minutes per picture.
Phone signal is fine, other non-pic texts go through fine, Internet access is speedy, but for some reason I cannot send pics or receive them like I used to.
Any ideas?

This sounds like there is a block on MMS/picture messaging - either go online to your account or call customer service and see if a block was placed on picture messaging - get it removed and you should be fine.

Picture messaging problems for EnV 3

In the past few days, I have been having picture messaging problems. When a Non-Verizon person sends me a picture, it says connecting (as it should) but just continues to say connecting. I never receive the picture. It just says failed if I let it continue to connect. When I receive a picture message from a Verizon person, it also says connecting and I allow it to go until it stops. It never shows a loading bar like it used to but the "connecting" screen will eventually disappear and I can view the picture. It works but, its very slow and it doesn't show the loading bar like it used to.
I also have problems sending picture messages. Again, the connecting screen comes up when sending a picture but no loading bar. I usually let it go for 30 seconds and I'll end up cancelling it. BUT, a friend of mine did end up receiving the picture even though it never said message sent on my phone.
Any help with these problems? I haven't done anything different than I used to and I have had the phone for almost a year and a half now. Everything has been fine until now.

Yay!! It's so nice when it's a simple fix!
You can do the *228 reset every month or so just for maintenance and to keep your phone updated.

IPhone 3GS picture messaging problems :( :( :(

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem? I have an o2 iPhone 3GS 32gb on 4.0.1 os. At the moment, my mms isn't working; there's no options to switch it on and off under the 'messages' settings, or no camera in the bottom left corner of my messages screen. Its nothing to do with my cellular data network settings as all of the criteria are filled in. However, there is a carrier update available, but its not actually letting me update for some reason :s it just keeps reappearing every time i go onto itunes :/ ive also tried restoring the phone, and this hasnt worked.
If anyone could please please please help me with this problem, i'd be very grateful, as the last thing i wanna do is send my iPhone away
Thanks

Problem in delivering Picture Messages through Java SMPP client

I m working on development of SMPP Client, using Java. In it�s development I didn�t used any API from eny vendor, and implemented purely in Java. I am facing one unusual problem in receiving of Picture Messages. Also, I have one C based client application.
I m sending picture message through both client application(s) to be delivered over different handset(s). I have tested many different cases, but could not conclude to any solution. The behavioral cases are as follows;
When I sent same picture message through Java SMPP client on Nokia 1100, it get received with prompt �Picture Message Received�. And on viewing it, �Message cannot be displayed�, is informed and no picture message get displayed. Till now it happens for every caseto this handst, but get properly displayed on Nokia 32xx / 53xx.
Whereas while sending through the C SMPP Client on Nokia 1100, sometime it get displayed and sometimes it doesn�t. Same prompts follows on not receiving right picture message while using Java SMPP Client
I m not understanding why;
It doesn�t get delivered correctly a picture message, every time I submits it to deliver on 1100 while sending through C based,
And why It doesn�t get delivered correctly at all while sending through Java SMPP client on 1100 whereas it get delivered correctly over other Nokia model handset.
Kindly, anyone make me solve out the prob��.

Hi,
Even we have implemented the Java SMPP client, to sending the picture message as embeded SMS.
If you do not have issue to share the SMPPClient which is sending the picture message, I can look into the code and help you. Let me know, I can share my personal email id.

Problem sending MMS/Picture messages

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem:
I'm finding that if i try to send someone a picture message along with a typed message, as soon as i hit send i get a little message saying its converting and then it just stays stuck on "sending". It never actually sends the message.
I realized this two days later when a friend said they had not received my text. I resent the picture without a typed message and then they suddenly received BOTH pictures (the original with the message and the new one).
Sounds like a weird software to me? Any thoughts?

Thank you everyone for reporting this issue. I can understand that it would be frustrating to have to try multiple times to send the same message. I have a Nexus myself and tried with a few other Nexus' here and was not able to duplicate the issue. Since there are multiple people having this issue, I will escalate this issue to our product team to further investigate this issue. I will need more details to troubleshoot. Do you notice this only happening in a certain location? Does it happen when picking up 3G, 4G or both? Do you get an error message or what exactly happens when trying to send MMS? Does this happen only when the signal is low, or with full signal?
Also, try removing the battery and SIM card for about 30 seconds. Toggle airplane mode and network mode for a few seconds, then retest.

Problem with picture message

Hello Sony Ericsson,
Few months ago I bought "sony ericsson phone W995" and I enjoy this phone pretty much except one thing. I cannot send and receive any picture messages. Every time I try to send picture, it says "MMS setting missing," then I click "install now" but it doesn't work. I did contact my provider "T-Mobil" and they tried their best but they don't have manual setting for this model W995. So I was suggested to contact manufacture that you guys send me a "missing manual setting" to my phone. Unfortunately, after few contacts with Sony Ericsson manufacture I still didn't resolve the problem because manufacture said that I have to talk with my provider about this problem and that I need to have internet on my phone for picture messages. So I do have internet, but as I mentioned above my provider doesn't have "Manual setting" for this model. Can someone help me to resolve this problem please? If in order for my phone to work (picture messaging) I need to buy "setting" I will buy it, just let me know how can I fix such problem. I really need picture messages setting on my phone. And just to let you know, don't send me to my provider because it would not work (I did few times).
Thanks

What do you mean "change network?" Do you mean change mobile company? I actually pretty much happy with my mobile company, and I been member of T-Mobile for 5 years. So it doesn't sound reasonable for me to change mob.comp. just because of such issue. I think there should be negotiation between carrier and phone maker that the customers would be happy and that they wish to use their (T-mob, and Sony..) products in the future. Customer satisfaction should be priority number one for both of you in order for your buisness to be successesful. I would be happy if someone could help me with my phone. It is kind of unusual that mms was not installed in the phone by manufacture. All phone programs should be in there already and the carrier’s responsibility is to make them functional (that is how I understand such business). Also, recently I realized that somehow my phone is able to receive pict. messages and some of them can be opened (not all), but I cannot send any pict. messages(it says "message failed"). So maybe something else is the issue?
Thanks,

Problem with picture messages - help!

Hi,
I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. I was initially with Orange and was able to receive and view picture messages on my device, no problem. I have recently changed provider to Virgin, and now am being directed to a web page to view picture messages. Have followed directions to go through advanced options, host router, register now, etc but its still not working.
Any ideas? Its driving me nuts!
Thanks :-)

Hi leighpat79
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
Are you able to send any MMS messages from your BlackBerry ?
Try those steps in the same sequence :
1- Register your Handheld .
KB00510 : How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Wait till a Registration messages comes in your message box.
2- Resend your Service Book
KB02830 : Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
( Wait till a Registration Message comes in your message box for each email that you have configured on your device )
3- Then perform a battery pull restart like this while the device is powered On remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert it back
I assume you alreday have sufficient data plan from your present Carrier which allow MMS or you have to call your carrier to confirm that .Try it and let us know.

Problem replying back to picture message

Just found a new problem with Razr. When I get a picture message from somebody that sent to multiple people, I reply back only to find that my reply goes to everyone the picture was sent to. Cannot figure out how to stop this.

Are you speaking of a Text message? I believe Reply to All is the default. I haven't had this issue so I can't troubleshoot it for you if it doesn't work, but I've read that if you press and hold the conversation box, you will get an option to reply to sender. I believe you may have to scroll down to the end of your options.
If you are speaking of an email message using Gmail, touch the triangle by the reply button in the message header. It will open up and show options of Reply, Reply All or Forward.
If you want to change your reply default options for Gmail, with Gmail open go to Menu>More>Settings and select your gmail account. Scroll down General settings and uncheck Reply All.
Here is a link to the Android 2.3.4 Users Guide which can give you more information.

Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S? I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS. The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?
