Slow picture messaging

I have the iphone5 and when I am trying to send picture message it takes forever! I have deleted all my messages, made sure my software is up to date and powered it down, still takes forever

acharo01,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your text. We want to get this issue resolved and keep you in the VZW family. I apologize for my confusion as I am unable to view any previous history your may have had with this issue. To clarify, what make/model device do you have? Are you having issues with text being slow to send out or received? When did this issue begin? I see you stated you are not on contract, do you mean you are on prepaid or are you on a post paid account but out of contract?

  • After updating to iOs 6 software, sending picture messages doesn't work or is extremely slow. Any advice?

    After updating to iOs 6 software, sending picture messages doesn't work or is extremely slow. I have to try to send it multiple times before it will actually send and even then it will take almost ten minutes. Any advice?

    So yesterday vibration suddenly started working again, after nearly two weeks with the problem above. I have no idea why, I didn't change any settings and the only app that was updated yesterday was Facebook messenger...

  • Droid 4 not sending picture messages

    All day I have had problems with my Droid 4 not sending picture messages. I can recieve them, but not send. Regular text messages go through fine. I've had a 3G signal all day, although the mobile web does seem to be running a bit slow. I just got this phone 5 days ago, and have had nothing but problems with it ever since. I had to get a new sim card the very first day.
    I live in central Ohio, was just wondering if anyone else was having problems, or knew of a solution

    Go in to Settings--Apps--Manage Apps Click on ALL,  Find the "MESSAGING" app and open.  When you are in MESSAGING, click DISABLE or FORCE STOP.  Next, click CLEAR DATA.  (a warning will tell you that you will loose all your data and messages, click OK.(all of my messages were saved)).  Now, click ENABLE if you dont have the enable button just exit out.  Then either (1)Exit to the home screen, go into the APPs manager (white circle with 6 dots) and find the MESSAGING icon.  press, hold and drag it back to you home sceen. Or your Message icon will still be there and it will just reenable on its own, just go and try to send your pic and it should work.
    Did for me, did for my brother.  Hope I've helped, and hopfully this is a permenant fix.  I've been sending more pictures now a day later and it still works.

  • 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.

  • Whenever i go to open a picture message in full view the black loading screen just comes up with no picture? (verizon iphone 5)

    I have a 32gig iphone 5 on verizon and whenever i go to open a picture message the black screen that says loading just comes up and i can't view the picture... any help? PLEASE!

    Try using the wall charger to charge your iPhone.  Some USB ports do not enough power to charge your phone, or at the very least, it will take a much longer time than a wall charger.
    You will find that after having it plugged into the wall for 10min, it will have enough power to indicate that the battery is now charging.
    Save your money from buying a battery for your next iPhone  :-)

  • Phone no longer can send / receive picture messages after "support" call

    Hoping someone can help.
    A few weeks ago my phone was having intermittent problems sending picture messages (text are fine). I would sometimes have to retry several times for it to go through, but I could always get it to go through. I have a LG VX9400, btw.
    Since it did not resolve itself I decided to place a support call. During that call the technician did "nothing", but after he had me dial *228 option 1 I can no longer send messages at ALL! I was then told I needed a software upgrade or could not be helped further. Now I've received the software update and it still does not work. It has been escalated to engineering and closed (without contacting me) and has been attributed to my phone, but nobody can tell me how they came to this resolution.
    I have had this problem in the past where it's been on the Verizon network the configuration has to be changed (there have even been blocks that I've never put on there), but nobody is willing to dig into this and says I now have to reflash, hard reset my phone or get another one.
    Also note, mobile web even for account management doesn't work (I did have blocks, have since taken them off so not sure if I have to wait). It also seems I am getting a message receipt failed when I turn my phone off and on, again I only noticed this after calling support.
    Any help / suggestions / etc greatly appreciated as I really don't think it's my phone since it was working (albeit intermittent) prior to the "support" I received from Verizon.
    Thanks!!

    @MySlickDeals
    It's very upsetting having picture messaging issues, especially after calling in to technical support and not getting the issue resolved. Let's get this worked on right away.
    Have you tried deleting the old text and picture messages and retrying? Please also remove and reinsert the battery and retest.
    Does this happen everywhere or just one location? After the software upgrade did they hard reset the device?
    Hard reset instructions:
    From the main screen, press Menu.
    Scroll to Settings & Tools.
    Scroll to Phone Settings, press OK.
    Scroll to Security, press OK.
    Enter Lock Code ???? displays,
    enter the 4 digit lock code ( default: last 4 digits of phone number ).
    Scroll to Reset Default, press OK.
    Reset Default - Preference Settings will be set to factory defaults. Press <OK> to continue. displays, press OK.
    Scroll to Revert, press OK
    If you are still experiencing issues after this reset please send me a PM and I will look into your account.
    Thank you

  • I cant seem to recieve picture messages from other networks besides 3

    i cant seem to recieve picture messages from any other network besides 3.
    can someone please tell me if i can fix this problem and if its the phone?

    You can try the following on your friends phone:
    1.  Remove the contact card
    2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
    3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
    4. Press +.  This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
    5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
    6. Remove from Recents
    7. Try to compose another message
    8.  If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
    9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
    10. Repeat and rinse.
    11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there a way to prevent everyone seeing replies to picture messages sent to multiple people?

    When I send a picture message to multiple people at once, all the iPhone users I send the message to receive everyone else's replies, no matter what my message settings are. The Droid and Blackberry users I send it to don't receive them. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, other than not sending pics to multiple people at once?

    You can provide feedback to Apple to let them know of any feature improvements you would like to see on the iPhone. Doesn't mean they will provide them, but you never know. Use this link to send the feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

    I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room.  I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • Samsung Continuum Issues - Picture messages NOT displaying embedded images + Android 2.2?

    I recently purchased the samsung continuum a few months ago and have had a difficult time with the following two issues:
    The phone is NOT rooted.
    (1) Picture Messages are not displaying as embedded images in my message notifications. All i see is "Message Size and the word downloading.  The picture is only 10K, so it should download relatively fast.  The image does not appear in my gallery either.  Please help?  Where is the image and why can't i see it in my message.According to the notes in SCH-I400.DL17, this issue should have been resolved.     
    (2) How come the Contiuum has not received an update to Android 2.2?  The Fascinate and Continuum were both released at the same time and the Fascinate received the update.
    Here is my phone specs:
    Phone information:    
    Hardware version:  i400.0.6 
    Firmware version:  2.1-update1 
    Baseband version:  S:i400.0.6V.DL17 
    Kernel version 2.6.29 
    Build number:  SCH-I400.DL17    

    I don't understand how the Fascinate has Android 2.2, but is discontinued and the Continuum is still being sold new. What is up with that Verizon? I like the Continuum but would like to see it upgraded.  I still have over a year till I can get a new phone too. Very confusing.
    Sorry I can't help you with the picture messages as I don't have a solution.

  • Network authentication failed error message when trying to send picture messages

    I have a family member who is trying to send picture messages from Dubois, WY.  Verizon's map shows that Dubois is in the extended enhanced services area.  I am guessing that this may be one of those instances where the coverage map is not 100% accurate.  Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be or how to resolve it.

    Customers have the ability to take pictures / videos anywhere. However, messages can only be sent, received, or uploaded, while in the Verizon Wireless National Enhanced Services Rate and Extended Network Coverage Area.
    Try dialing *228 send and option 2 to update the PRL on the phone.  Updating the PRL or Preferred Roaming List, ensures the phone is getting the best service possible.  
    You can also check the coverage area at the link below:

  • I'm getting "the disk is too slow (prepare)" message

    I'm getting "the disk is too slow (prepare)" message when trying to do literally anything in garageband right now, even with all other programs shut down, correct energy saver settings, and only one audio track in garageband.
    Everything else on my macbook pro is running fine, iMovie, Safari, etc... so it seems like a garageband problem to me. I updated garageband, have reset computer multiple times, I don't know what else to do... it feels like garageband is keeping all of my recent projects open in the background at once, but when I check my windows, that is apparently not the case.  Any help?

    Anyone have any ideas to help?

  • Error message when trying to send a picture message (multimedia)

    I am unable to send picture messages and receive "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages." I tried to upload pictures to print thru the Walgreens app, after becoming frustrated with the application I canceled the upload. I've been having trouble sending messages ever since. I've tried to clear all running applications in the Task Manager, and checked the Multimedia message limit through my Messaging Settings and increased the limit. I can't figure out how to clear the unsent multimedia messages, can anyone help? Thanks!

    Was your 3G data connection active when you were trying to send the pictures?  Have you tried to send picture to yourself?  Dial *228, option 1 to reprogram the phone to the Verizon Wireless network?

  • 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.
