Received MMS problem on E71

Hi there
I've been using a Nokia E71 for the last 5months, it has the latest firmware updates, and recently I've come across with a problem, when anybody sends me an MMS, the picture I receive with the mms is always in small size (something like 128x240...<10kb) I can send mms fine, up to 200-300kb, and other people receive them in original size.
The problem is that when receiving MMS the phone seems to reduce them to small size, My MMS definitions are Large (also tried Original size). I've reinstalled MMS definitions from the Network carrier (TMN) and even re-seted the phone (using *#7370#) but it's the same.
Am I missing any thing here, any kind of configuration change I haven't remebered? Can you help me?
Thank you very much

My phone is a 8330 on Verizon. Thanks
Try going in the store, or call 800.922.0204. Have them remove MMS from your number, save the screen and then re-provision it on the account. Again saving the screen. I know this is a possible fix.

Nokia E71 Cannot send or receive MMS

Help.
I cannot send or receive MMS on my Nokia E71.

You have to contact your mobile operator since they have the configuration data (which is operator specific).
Maybe if you let us know what your operator is (with the country) somebody might be able to help you.
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

Problems receiving MMS with Video

I have Alltel (if it matters) and have only had my curve a few days. When I receive mms messages with video, I am directed to go to axcessmypics.com to retrieve the message. When I do so, I am only able to view a still of the video. There is no way to play it. The video never plays from the message itself. These videos are being sent from friends, most of whom have verizon, none of whom have a blackberry themselves. Is there some software I need to have on my phone in order to view these?

At this point in time Alltel doesn't support MMS messages on their BlackBerry devices. I believe I read somewhere that they will be changing that, but I don't have a firm date.

DIFFERENT type of mms problem (receivers can't view)

Hey all, I have a different mms problem after updating my 3GS to ios 4...
Seems I can send mms and videos just fine, however the end receiver just sees a still image and hears the audio. I've done a lot of tests with this, and my wife's 3GS does the same thing. But it only started happening when she updated to ios 4 ( on different AT&T plans and updated at different times) her 3GS is only a month old.
I've somewhat pinpointed this directly to ios 4, as any video I have shot with it will do this, but only if it is to someone without an iPhone, or with and iPhone but not running ios 4
It seems kind of sporadic as well. I think it has to do with the way each app handles mms out. If I'm in a text message and hit the camera icon and create a new video right there on the spot, Things seem to go fine. But if I've already taken a video and its in my camera roll. And I choose to send that, #1 it doesn't seem to warn me about length that much anymore, and will just try to send the vid as is. #2 it doesn't do any sort of preparation with the vid, just pops it into the message and allows me to send.
I've restored, restored to new device, redownloaded ios 4, reset my network settings, and done pretty much everything people have suggested for other mms problems. Nothing seems to help. And yes. Mms is turned on in my settings and subject field is turned off along with group mms and character count.
What it seems like to me, is that ios 4 doesn't have the same trim length or compression algorithms for mms as os 3.1.3 had. My friend who hasn't updated yet can send vids to my receiver just fine. It seems like the default maximum mms video length might be too long on the 3GS, and I end up sending videos that are unplayable to anyone but ios 4 users.
Can anyone help, or has anyone else had this issue? Should I be calling Apple or AT&T about this?

Experiencing issues sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6

I, like so many others, have been experiencing problems sending/receiving MMS messages after updating to iOS 6. Other than that, I really do like the new update. I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon. I have been to Verizon, and the issue is not with my plan; it is definitely with the update. My friend updated her phone also, but her phone is just the iPhone 4. She does not experience these issues. Is Apple aware and trying to fix the problem? It is soooo frustrating! I cannot send/receive picture messages, nor can I send/receive group messages. --- Has anyone come up with a solution to fix it yet, or is it something that Apple will have to do?
Thanks in advance.

I also am having the same problem. I can't send a pic to anyone who doesn't have iMessage. Also, I don't always get the alert when I have a new message. I never had this problem before I updated to IOS 6. I have AT&T & an iphone4. It's isn't jail broken. I've been reading forums for a couple weeks now and apparently it has something to do with the apn. And I don't know how or even if I can change it. Then I also read it might have something to do with a damaged SIM card. And it might have been damaged when we updated. But those are just theories.

KIN One m won't receive mms messages

My KIN ONEm won't receive mms messages, I've had the problem once or twice before and every time it's happened it shows this error message "someone sent you a message but it can't be retrieved right now" with the error code "3-4003" it's fixed itself in recent times, but this time it's been going on for a few hours and it won't get fixed, what should I do?

I had the same problem and fixed it by going into:
settings, wireless & networks "more", mobile networks, then you need to "enable" data access over Mobile networks
It will then have a check mark on "data enabled"
After I did that I immediately was able to send and receive MMS.

I cannot receive MMS over WiFi- anyone else struggling? (2nd post)

Original post:
I cannot receive MMS over WiFi- anyone else struggling?
Apparently, it's not the settings. Tech told me I need to just return the phone b/c they don't have a clue what's wrong with it. They've done everything they can on their end and nothing works. I posted about this earlier just before I spoke to advanced tech support and thought they'd fixed the issue, but it's not fixed.
If someone finds a fix for this, please post it. As of now, my plan is to return the phone to the store tomorrow.

UPDATE- A tech-savvy friend took a look at my phone this evening at work and couldn't fix the problem. He's a former tech support employee for another major wireless provider. He said his best guess is the problem is somewhere in the APN settings. It seems like LG's default settings are fighting (for lack of a better word) with Verizon's settings. He couldn't fix the problem and ended up suggesting I download the texting app "Textra" because it's one where the settings allow you to change the APN.
I was dubious because we've already tried changing the texting program to the two others that come on the phone and neither worked. But neither allow you to edit or add to the APN settings either.
I'm not sure how it is on anyone else's LG G3, but mine doesn't allow you to change the APN settings at all. On every single walk-through I've found for setting up MMS, I've followed it to the letter right up until it says, "Click the 'add' button in the upper right corner..." because that isn't an option on my phone. I imagine it's prob the same way for many others as well. I don't know if it's just on Verizon or if it's a product-wide problem.
My tech friend said the only way I can change the APN settings on my own (without speaking to Verizon's tech folks again) would be to "jail break" the phone first, which I really don't want to do.
I downloaded Textra and was surprised to find that it comes with a check-box for "MMS WiFi fix" under the setting "go here if MMS isn't working." I clicked the appropriate boxes and sent myself a MMS using my husband's phone. I also asked a friend who has another provider to text me a test pic. Textra turned off WiFi, downloaded both pix, and then turned WiFi back on... exactly the way the phone's default settings should behave. It took a minute or so longer than a typical text but I'm okay with that so long as pix come through.
I've been fighting this issue for nearly 2 weeks now. I've spoken to 7 different people at Verizon as well as several friends who are extremely knowledgeable regarding cell phone OS (KitKat in particular), and this is the only thing that has actually worked. I'm going to give it 24 hours though before I say the problem is truly "fixed."
Hope this works!! (crosses fingers)

Not always receiving MMS message notifications

I haven't received any MMS message notifications from my friends for approx. the last week, and they certainly have been sending them to me. I know this is definitely happening from Sprint and Verizon customers trying to send to me. I have had issues in the past where receiving from those networks would be flaky (meaning, sometimes I'd get them, sometimes I wouldn't). However, I receive ALL of their SMS, just not the MMS message notifications. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!

Okay, I found the problem. After being elevated to a Level 2 technician, it turns out that upon changing my text plan over to the "Family Text Plan" last week, that it prevents MMS from being sent to iPhone users of that family account. I switched back to the iPhone Text Plan, and now all is well and I can received MMS again.
I asked her how many iPhone customers are being affected by this "publicly unknown" issue, and she said, "Probably a LOT!". She did say that later this summer all that will change with the new iPhone 3.0 MMS ability becomes active. HAHA, all those people will finally start getting texts that didn't know/understand before.

MMS PROBLEM

Hi, I have a problem with receiving MMS messages. When I receive a mms mobile seems appropriate sound and the icon appears in the Messages application information about the message (standard message program android). After entering the details of the message I see the information that the message is not retrieved. I have to click on the message and select the download message. The message is retrieved and displayed. This happens every time when each received MMS.
I tried the following things:
- different sim cards of other operators (Orange, T-mobile)
- replacement sim card
- fetch again operator settings for mms
- In the settings of the message is checked automatically download messages mms
Please tell me what to do messages to be retrieved without the need for intervention.

Does this also happen if you wait a bit before selecting the notification or go to the message? Downloading the MMS could take a little while depending on network speed so if you open the message as soon as you get the notification the phone may not have downloaded it yet.
Also make sure that your APN for MMS under Settings -> More -> mobile networks -> Access Point Names has "mms" in the APN-type.

Receiving MMS messages on the iPhone

It is really very cumbersome to be directed to an internet site to retreive MMS messages sent to my iPhone. Is Apple working a fix for this that will allow the phone to receive MMS messages. While they are working on that, I hope, why not add a video recording capability MPEG to the phone as well.

Hi, I have some advice. I myself greatly missed MMS when I bought my iPhone, (but I knew beforehand, I just bought it anyway because the pro's outweighed the cons...) but I found a workaround. Cellphones all use an email-type delivery for SMS and MMS messages. So based on this knowledge, you can send an email to a cell phone and they will receive it as if it were a text. You have to use a special email address though. Supposing their number was (888)777-6666 this would be the email addresses for 5 of the main carriers in the US:
AT&T: [email protected]
Sprint: [email protected]
T-Mobile: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
The trick here is remembering what all these are when you need them, so here's a solution to that problem as well. Add a second email address (corrosponding with the list above based on their service provider) to the contacts that you use this feature with. Then whenever you want to send a picture, just send it like an email but use the special address for their cell phone and they will recieve it! Unlimited usage! And I'm not positive about all companies, but I know T-Mobile customers can sent an MMS to your email address and you will receive it as an email!
I hope this helped! Get back to me if you have any questions or problems.

Won't send or receive MMS

My new iPhone 4 fails to send or receive MMS messages. Is this a hardware problem or a carrier problem? (Also, the battery life is awful. Barely lasts a day. But it seems that's another story...). This is my first iPhone. So far, a bit of a disappointment.

Thanks for your replies. For some reason, it's sorted itself out and I can send MMSs. However, now the email has stopped working and won't receive any new messages! Beginning to think the iPhone 4, or alt least OS 4.1 is a bit of a dud.

Not receiving MMS

Im not receiving MMS. I was told there is a patch to download to fix the problem but I cannot find it on support services. Can anyone help me?

Phone options->advanced->highlight host routing table->hit the menu button->press "register now." (you'll get an e-mail confirming the registration. Then take out your battery while the phone is still on, let it reboot for a couple of minutes, put it back in, allow the phone to reboot.
See if that helps roxy

HTC Desire MMS problem

Hi -
I have just recently received my HTC Desire, unfortunately I cannot receive MMS messages - keep getting an error message 'Generic Network Failure' and cannot download.
Not sure what to do !!!
Would the following info be causing problems ?
If I go to:
Menu-Wireless & Networks-Mobile Networks-Access Point Names-BT GPRS
Proxy: <not set >
Port:<not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: <not set>
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
The other settings have information already entered.
Any ideas ?

That`s what bookmarks are for I use the firefox browser, a simple search found the link.
I tend to bookmark any info that may be useful, and also do regular backups of bookmarks.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

I carnt receive mms messages on my iPhone 4 on 02 paygo

I can't send MMS on iPhone 4s/O2.
Spoke to (online chat) "O2 Guru" who told me it was a problem with all Apple.
Had Max done this, he would have received the same reply and would be on here (as I am) rather than writing to O2.
Anyway, these are user forums - not "writing to Apple" where users can share their experiences and, hopefully, solutions.
Any ideas anyone?
