Sporadic loss of MMS/SMS

8350i w/OS 5.0; carrier: Sprint/Nextel. problem persists from day 1 (2 years ago) thru all OS upgrades. For no ascertainable reason, MMS/SMS sporadically stops working (email/phone/internet not affected). The only way I know is when I try to text out and get the red "x" or friends call me and ask why I haven't returned their texts. Fixed by turning off then on (hard reset not necessary) - then texts come pouring through. I've called tech assistance. Followed their instructions. They did some resets over the air. Made me change a few settings. Nothing has worked. Still have this annoying problem.

I have the same problem!

I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone using icloud?

I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone? - icloud? - homesharing?

I just bought an iPhone5
To ensure my old iPhon4 was backed up i...
1. Deleted the iPhone4 backup from iTunes prefs(devices)
2. I then sycnched the iPhone4 to get a new backup of the old Phone.
I then installed my new iPhone5 from the fresh backup of the old iPhone4
This way i got my new iPhone5 exactly as my old iPhone4
Screens all looked the same, EVERYTHING the same.
Some minor adjustments were needed afterwards.
Hope this helps.

Sending EMAIL/MMS/SMS

Just wanted to know how SOA Composite sends Email/MMS/SMS? Is there any adapter for this? What are different types of servers required for this? In BPEL, I just find activity for EMAIL & SMS? Does MMS is also handled by SMS activity only? In SMS, there is no field for video files (like email has for attachment)? Any code example or document/blog for these available?
Thanks In Advance!

BPEL components can be configured with the Email and SMS activities. Oracle SOA suite provides the Email, SMS activities for error notification/alerts etc.
For email you would need a SMTP server.

Kann keine MMS/SMS verschicken!

Hallo,
kann mir jemand helfen. Kann keine MMS/SMS verschicken! Seit Monaten geht nichts mehr. Schon alle möglichen und unmöglichen Einstellungen probiert, Neustart, SIM-Karte raus und rein, auch mit der automatischen Konfigurationsdatei vom Provider (Simyo). Diese Datei geht überhaupt nicht. Die behaupten sogar das liegt an Apple. Bisher ging ich davon aus, das der Fehler vor dem Computer/Handy sitzt, also ich. Langsam glaube ich das nicht mehr. Die Leute von Simyo sind nicht wirklich ein Hilfe. Nur BlaBla und zum Schluss nur noch schweigen. Ich habe ein iPhone 4S mit iOS 6.1.3

Hallo,
Danke für die Info!
ich suche eigentlich keine neue App, sondern die Frage bezog sich auf die Standard-App "Nachrichten. Falls dies damit nicht funktioniert, suche ich dann eine ähnliche App, allerdings kostenlos und in deutsch.

When I do a backup of iPhone/iPad, are my MMS/SMS saved incrementall?

This is to say:
I usually do a backup. If, after a while, I get loaded down with SMS/MMS messages on my iPhone I want to delete them conversations.
I don't want to lose all of my older messages from the past.
When iTunes does a backup of the device, does it do a backup of the CURRENT state of the messages on the device and overwrite what was backed up earlier? In that case, everything that was old would be deleted.
Or does iTunes do incremental backups? Stuff from 2012 and 2013 backed up. If I back up stuff now, even if I deleted some conversations in MMS/SMS, that won't affect what's already backed up, right? Just means there's nothing to add to the backup that already exists?

A backup via either iCloud or iTunes will capture what is currently on your phone and is only designed to restore the entire backup to your phone or another iOS device in the event of a problem. The restore would include only the things in the last backup and would restore not just messages but everything included in the backup. If you want to keep a complete history of your messages you should explore a 3rd party method such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com

MMS & SMS Messaging Block

If you block someone on the iphone ios7 this blocks their imessages (MMS), but does it also block their regular (SMS) text messages?

Yes. There is more information on blocking at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5845

225 - All incoming mms/sms end up in a folder call...

Hello!
I bought a Nokia 225 for my mum, cause it has a big display and ease of use. I don't live in the same country as her, so I can unfortunately not just pop over and help her when things don't work out.
I have bought an extra 8 gb memory card to the phone.
She calls me and says that she cannot receive sms and mms anymore. First she got 3 messages saying that the content was too big (it's mms with attachment with a photo taken with an iphone), and then they stopped coming altogether. At that time she had around 3-4 mms:es already in her inbox.
After some fiddling she said she found all the "missing" mmses in folder under Messages -> Alt. > Control messages, and the folder was called "block.medd" (block.mess).
I helped her save down all mms attachment to the memory card, and then we emptied the block.medd folder and her inbox. I sent one sms and mms to her as a test, and she received them fine.
I wonder, why did this happen, is her internal memory so small that it can only store 3-4 mms?? Where are those messages in block.medd stored? Can you somehow set the phone to automatically store messages she receives on the memory card so she won't have this problem?
Kind regards
anji

Hello, thanks for your reply!
They did not have any of those models in the store I was at (big elecntronic chain in Sweden). I guess I should have read up more, but my mum's old phone had stopped working, and she needed a new one asap. We choose this model because they had it on a special offer + the screen is so big, and her eye sight isn't the best anymore.
I guess I will look up the Nokie 301 to see if it's possible to still get hold of it, she cannot use this phone, if the internal memory can only hold 3-5 mmses, she got it specifically to be able to receive and look at pics of her grandchild, and it's too complicated for her to have to save down every pic to the memory card and delete all mms:es. Her old phone was not like that, it was a Nokia too, unfortunately I don't know the model by heart.

Solution for no mms/sms with iPhone 4s?

Just got my iPhone 4s and realized I am only able to send iMessage. SMS looks like it goes thru but they never get it. MMS won't send at all.
I see others have this same issue, but I haven't seen one post saying they found a resolution other than a few who said it mysteriously started working a few hours later again.
Anyone have suggestions? I already restored the phone, checked all my settings, etc. Tomorrow I'll go into the Apple store, but I'd love to fix it before then. Thanks!

Mine is a 16GB white iPhone and I have the same issue. I'm able to send MMS but can not receive them.
Tried my sim in a black iPhone 4s and I can receive them.
The issue is with my iPhone and not with the sim/carrier.
All the settings were the same on the black version as it is on my white. I've even restored to a factory vanilla version of the software to rule out anything I may have installed/set/unset, but still no joy.

Trouble sending or receiving mms, sms and iMessage pictures

This is more of a tip than a question. My wife recently got an iPhone 4 and we had some problems with her appleID, which is what I think led to the problems with iMessage. I attempted first to reset the network settings, as well as following others advice of disabling iMessage, resetting network settings and then reenabling iMessage, but nothing helped. I could not send her a mms from my Android phone, nor could I send a photo from iMessage from my iPad. She also had trouble sending sms to other iPhone users. Something clued me in to her phone number as is it associated with her appleID. She had an appleID from before she got her iPhone, when we were living in the US. Turns out the country code and country setting in her appleID were still set for the US. After changing everything to our current country of residence, I did the turn off iMessage, reset network settings and reenable iMessage routine, and then everything started working normally.
TL:DR
Check your appleID profile country settings, country code and phone number.
Disable iMessage, reset network settings, reenable iMessage. Good luck!
Thanks to eveyone else who has contributed troubleshooting advice here, and I hope my experience helps other people with their problems.

MMS&SMS problems

hey guys, i'm new to this and i'm sorry if i shouldn't be asking questions here but I didn't know where else to post.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 and I am with Rogers. Yesterday I recieved a message in my SMS&MMS inbox, opened it and it looked almost like an e-mail. It was addressed personal and when i clicked my blackberry button to open it and recieve it I got a message that said "could not retrieve message content. Try again later" I've tried many times and i've reset my phone and everything. The icon beside the message is a slanted envelope with a play button beside it...I don't even know what that means...can anyone help?
Thanks!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
That sounds like an MMS message, which contains a format that your BB cannot display. MMS messages can have audio, video, pictures, and other multi-media things (hence, MMS -- Multimedia Messaging Service). You should contact the person who sent it to you and ask them what it is.
Good luck!

My mms/sms message doesn't send

I have iPhone 4 and today when I tried to text via MMS messaging it didn't send. Can anyone help?

Hi KiltedTIm,
Sorry! I just found out the provider cut off our phone. We just got the bill 2 days ago.
BTW, another question. Our provider is Verizon. Can I text to other provider iPhone for free?

I cannot send images or business cards via MMS/SMS messages.

If I try to send a contact it fails, an image from my photo gallery along with a text also both fail.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi I am having the same problem
Cant send MMS pictures or receive or send business cards
I have done the reboot and i have reset my network settings
My smses go through fine, i can send and receive from everyone, as long as its not a business card
My MMS is on and my Imessage is on too.
Might be a Network issue maybe?
Any help will be great thanks
