I received a picture in the form of MMS, but when i click on download button it says that download has failed. I called customer service and they said I need a data plan for it to work. I dont have one.
Do I really need one?
Have you tried wifi ...........
yes, it dosent work
Have the sender try to send it to maybe another phone to see if its maybe the message or something. If the other phone receives it, have them send it to you. Never know.. just try it out. Hope it works good luck.
I am not sure how there 3g network is setup, but on my WING i did not have the data plan but still was able to send and receive MMS ........ Try selecting the option to connect to ONLY 2G networks and restart your phone and see if it downloads then
Okkkk thnks alot.. I am going to try it right now..
I dont understand why G1 is so big on data plan.

So I just got a mytouch 3g tonight, and for some reason I'm not able to send or receive mms messages. Has anyone else had this problem? We've tried everything but nothings working. When I try to send there's a little message icon with a red clock looking thing on it. After a while I just get the message icon with a red triangle with a "!" in it. Also when I get mms messages, it says unable to download. I have no idea what to do! Anyone know what's going on?
Do you have a data plan? I had 3G data blocked on mine and then later found out that on smart phones, MMS are sent using 3G data. If your plan is blocking data, you will not be able to send MMS.
I have the same problem - on Orange with a Touch Pro 2. Just got sent my first MMS message, there's a pic of a paper clip, but I'm unable to download it even though internet and standard SMSs are fine...
I have a Rogers HTC magic on using on AT&T. I had to manualy enter all the APN settings to get my MMS to work.
Hey, im failty new to the rooting scene, im usually happy with what comes out of the box but i decided to give this a try.
Everything went fairly well, had a few hiccups but in the end i got Modaco 2.9 on my Telus Hero. The only thing that doesnt work is SMS.. i can't send them and i can't receive them.
I double checked my APN settings and everything is fine, can anyone help me out?
Did you update to the latest radio?
yeah
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22-signed
can you make calls? sms are not connected to the apn settings or something that has to do with internet or data network at all. sms are sent in the signaling with the network, the only thing that has to be set right is the smsc address. did you check that?
yeah i can make and receive calls, i can even do the 611 to contact telus
i checked the service number, its there. Im going to call Telus and ask them to push my config on my phone again.. i had to do it yesterday because my internet wasn't working on my phone.
Hope it works
Update: Called Telus, basically i can send txts but cannot receive them, according to the SMS server, it reaches my phone but isn't notifying me i guess..
i tried, re-wiping and re-installed rom and radio and still nothing.. everything else works great.
EDIT: oops sorry for double post, firefox crashed for some reason :S
Hey guys I have a T-mobile HD2 with a 2.08 radio with the touch extreme rom. Just recently I started to have problems sending MMS messages. It will tell me that it was unable to send the message and tells me to check connection. So i go to connections and press and hole the T-Mobile connection until the connect option pops up. I press the connect button and try to send it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. It this the reason why people try diffrent radios or is there another solution. Any help woud be appreciated. Very frustrating.
I am having a problem now too. Had my HD2 for almost 4 months now and never had a problem until now.
I can't send or receive MMS messages. Text only works just fine but if I try to send or receive any type of audio, video, or picture message it simply gives me an "unable to send message" error notification.
I never had problems before. Tried going into settings to lower the file size limit, still doesn't work.
Help?
I'm not sure, but I think you have to add a special feature to your plan to send anything but text with t-mobile.
How many people have there data network turned off via power menu because they dont have a data plan for the vibrant?
If you turned them off then i dont think you will be able to send a picture message(mms).
Ive had this problem and i just found out today that if you turn this on you will be able to send picture messages.
This might only apply to a small amount of people.
So all you have to do is turn on your data network via power menu and you might possibly send mms.( If you have this problem)
I guess for some reason you need data network to be on to be able to send mms?
EDIT: This might work with other phones too. Worked on the HD2 for tmobile.
It's not a fix...you can't send mms on wifi.
edit: you can send and be charged for data.

I toggle my data on and off for battery purposes and if I try to send an mms on just wifi, it hangs and hangs. Turn off the wifi and turn on the mobile data and the mms goes right through. Strange but it seems to work. Thanks for the post
Same here. I can send text only messages on Wifi. But if I have an attached picture it will not go thru. I have to turn the Wifi off and then the picture and text message will go thru.
Download super power app from market. It will turn data off when phone sleeps.

have unlimited data plan worth it to me
I use unlimited data with only 200 minutes of talk. Because I have a work cell too, I only use like 6 or 7 minutes a month of my 200.

Same. I have a previous Android Unlimited data plan that might not be available anymore? For $20. Not entirely sure but I heard that other than the $10/200mb plan there are $25/$30 Unlimited data plans.
You welcome guys and i also do the same as faith5x5. I wonder if theres a work around to sending mms if the datas off?
I am in need of some serious help, I purchased an s4 on craigslist from an AT&T customer. I verified the phone at the store, and it was an active AT&T phone when I bought it. I then transferred my phone number to a new Straight Talk Sim, and put the sim in the galaxy . I set the APN settings to the support reps recommendation, and everything worked besides receiving group texts and receiving mms. I thought it was the APN settings, so I tried every setting I could find recommended on this, and other forums. None of them worked. The solutions I was able to find included rooting my phone, which I don't have time to do. Since I was unable to use the phone how I needed without mms, I gave up with straight talk and ported my number to a AT&T LTE gophone account. I figured that straight talk was the problem, so I was excited to transfer. Well, after porting today, I have faster Internet, but mms and group texts(incoming of both) don't work. I can send mms, but cannot receive it, and I can send group texts, but not receive them. I am using the default att settings that came which the phone as instructed by the rep. In the AT&T store today. If anyone can please assist me in figuring out why this is happening, and what can fix it, I would be greatly appreciative. I did a search for the APN issue before posting this, but what I found was related to getting it to work with straight talk. I just want it to work with ATT now. Thank you in advance for any help..
Is your mobile data turned on while you try to download it? It may seem silly but I didn't realize it had to be on before ;P
Data is on
Data is on, and the outgoing mms and group texting works. On two carriers now, the incoming mms and group texting does not work. Really need a solution for this if anyone can help.

go to settings>options>mobile network and make sure that "data services" is turned on then send an mms to yourself and see if that activates it.
Data is on. Something with the phone is going on.....
To my understanding, this has got to be a phone issue. The data has been turned on . The outgoing mms is working. The outgoing group text is working. I have been on two different sims with different carriers, and still have the same issue......

I'm having similar troubles:
I CAN send mms,
but I can NOT receive images [although I did when I first set up the phone a few weeks ago, it was automatic image retrieval]
NOW when receiving a mms, a white download button (within a yellow box that gives me the message size + expire info) does not work. I tap "download", and it shows it's trying, but then I keep getting error messages that the download failed.
For purpose of testing the DATA feature of my service & phone I turn off the Wi-Fi.
I'm able to access the internet via data.
I'm able to make calls
I'm able to send texts
I'm able to send mms
However, my phone can NOT retrieve mms sent to me
I've tested repeatedly sending mms to myself. I can send - NOT receive.
Error message: "Message not downloaded - Review message and try again"
I try again, and then the next error message is: "Message download failed"
I don't understand that it worked before seamlessly for a week (after changing APN settings 1x after initial set up of service) and now I can only send, but not receive!?!
I have a factory unlocked AT&T Samsung S4
Using NET10 service with Net10's AT&T Sim Card.
I actually just got off the phone with Net10's Tech Support. Was on the phone over an hour with Service Tech Rep. He was very kind and patient. I had the correct APN settings. We changed some to test = to no avail. Upon my request he gave me different APN settings to try, beyond those that should work for this phone, in case it would work. He stayed with me on the phone while I performed a "Backup & Reset" and then gave me the settings that should apply to my phone. Still the same problems. He concludes that the issue is with my phone.
We do have a local AT&T store. Is there any reset or other options I could request they please do for me????
Thank you in advance for any ideas, guidance that may help!!
PS: My current APN settings from Net10:
Apn name-NET10
Apn- tfdata
MMSC-http : / / mms-tf dot net
Mms proxy-mms3.tracfone dot com
Mms port-80
Fix?
Did you ever figure this out? I have searched high and low and have exactly the same problem, everything works except RECEIVING MMS. I'm on Straight Talk. Please, please, please help!
Why not just Odin the phone to 100% stock. Solution done.

MMS?
Not sure what that means, but if it will work, please explain. I can root. :good:
did you had an iphone before? make sure to turn/sign off imessage in your previous idevice. IT happened to me as well. ITs one of the damn apply/imessage glitch because when you activated imessage it added your number to their cloud server.
Are you back on straight talk or on att? What messaging app are you using?

I had the same issue.. just figured it out. What u need to do is go to your main messaging screen... press the pop up menu click settings... scroll down to auto receive MMS. check the box and that should fix it
