Why am I receiving picture texts as text messages and not iMessages?

Why I am receiving pictures sent to my messages as texts but not an imessage? I know the person who's sending it also has an iPhone 4s, but everytime she sends me a picture I need to wait till I enable 3g before i receive it.  I have wi-fi all day at work but I disable 3g cause sprints 3g network is useless at my work.  No point keeping it on, but when she attempts to send me a picture from her iPhone I receive after I leave work and turn on 3g.  Does any one have an idea what exactly may be going on? Shouldn't I receive the picture text as an iMessage since I have wi-fi on all day...?  Thanks everyone

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • I bought an HTC one 2/28/14.  I had no trouble sending or receiving pictures with my texts.  I had to update my phone 6/5/14 and since that time I cannot send or receive pictures in my texts.  How can I fix that?

    The thing is, before the update, I ALWAYS had my wifi on, and I had my mobile data off.  Worked flawlessly until the update.

  • HT3529 Since I updated to ios7 I cannot receive pictures on a text from another iPhone

    Since updating to the ios7 I can't receive picture on a text from another iPhone any thoughts.  It says it's downloading but never does

    I'm having the same problem. I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.
    MMS is on, and I can send pictures successfully. But when I receive them, the photo shows up for a split second before it becomes a downloading icon which never changes.
    Can anyone help?

  • Cannot receive pictures sent through text

    I was able to receive pictures sent through text up until two days ago. The first time I couldn't receive pictures I went to the hub settings -> display and actions --> turned on "download images automatically" and it worked.
    Now I just get "You have a message awaiting retrieval. Click the button below to download it" i can click on "download now" 10 times and it won't do anything.
    Help! 

    Hi newz10 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Because picture messages are sent via the MMS service, I would recommend contacting your wireless network provider to ensure they are not having any issues with MMS or your account in general.
    Thanks.

  • Text edges are ridged and not smooth

    I have FCE and I used livetype to add some annimated text to my video project. But when I add the text to my FCE project on playback the text edges are ridged and not smooth. How can I correct this. F.Y.I. my video projects are in HD, not sure if that would make a difference but just wanted to provide the info.
    Here is a link to the what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMDLPLQdOgE
    If you watch the video in HD and about 30 secs into the clip when its just the text on the screen you can see exactly what i mean

    1. Set your LiveType project properties to match your Final Cut Sequence settings.
    In the Project Properties window you can also set the render quality. Make sure it is set to "Normal".
    2. When you add the LiveType object to your FCE timeline, it will need to be rendered. This is indicated by the colored stripe above the clip on the timeline.
    3. The Canvas always shows a low-res proxy, to better enable real time playback. Final Cut Pro will let you connect a calibrated broadcast quality monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV. This is the only way to see what you really have. I don't use FCE, so I don't know if it has this capability.

  • My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same.  Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own?

    Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own? Opening organizer in Photoshop Elements for the first time, I see pictures of my husband, but pictures in my picture library are not there. I do not want to see my husband's pictures. And he did not give me sharing permission. What can I do?

    Do you have two different catalogues  (One for you and other one for your husband)
    if yes,
    In Elements organizer go to File>Manage Catalogs and check if you have any catalogue listed of your name.
    if yes, double click on that catalogue and it will open the media on that catalogue.

  • After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp.  Why

    After creating a DVD with music, the pictures all come out fuzzy and not sharp.  I have tried all the options, and nothing works, they all come out fuzzy.   I have wasted about a dozen DVD's

      Have you tried enhancing and sharpening in Premiere Elements before burning to disk?
    What steps are you doing exactly?

  • Why does my php export feature work in IE and not firefox?

    Why does my php export feature work in IE and not Firefox? I've written a web application which contains a SigmaGrid. The grid controls reload, add update delete, print and export to csv all work in IE8. The export feature does not work in Firefox.

    I'm not sure what's going on for you. I've had 4 other developers - two on Comcast and two on Fios review my work and they get the control and export action in the IE8 version but not the FF10 version.
    Thanks for looking into this for me, though. I appreciate the effort. '' The operation was a success doctor, but the patient died.''

  • Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand

    HI
    Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.

    Hi Raj,
    Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
    And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
    If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
    I hope this clarifies the issue.
    Do reward if find useful
    Regards,
    Abhi

  • Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?

    I'm trying to reduce the number of apps that I need to run, and this one just boggles my mind.
    Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?
    The messages is to tightly coupled to the phone, that it doesn't make any sense for them to be separate.
    The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
    What's the story here?
    Does it have something to do with the contacts also being part of email app?
    Actually, that's my other biff... why are they entangled as such?
    Phone contacts should have phone#, email contacts should have email addresses.
    If you want a contact to have both phone# and email address, then the two apps (phone/email) should be combined.

    The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
    What's the story here?"
    The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts.  I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
    I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

    Is this with the spell checking dictionary or with the language setting?

    I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

    sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
    A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.
