Starting about two days ago, my MMS stopped working. I can't send MMS but can recieve them. Because I'm rooted and running jf 1.5, I'm hesitant on calling T-Mo's customer service. It would be great if I can find a solution here first, but if I can't, then I will give T-Mo a call.
I do have a data plan (Unlimted Data + 400 sms/mms for $24.99/month).
best bet is to call t-mobile, they won't know your phone is rooted and they really can't stop you from rooting it.
yea i was having the exact same problem but i called and end up txtin and swapping mms with a hot tmo rep...kinda funny actually hope she cant get in trouble for that...lol...
ok so for about a month now i havent been able to receive mms from att customers but i an send em i was just wondering if anyone else is haveing this same problem or not...h and by the way didnt really kno where to post this so if its the wrong section sorry
bump am i the only one bump
I am having the problem of not getting mms from ATT. I was on the phone with T-mobile for about 3 hrs and after switching my sim card out with my wife, they said that it's a problem with the phone be cause I could receive mms on her phone and her card couldn't receive them on my phone. I was all ready to receive a new phone when they called me back to say that it is a known issue that has been going on since january.
My question for you is did you root your phone to a JF release?
i'm beginning to suspect that is the problem.
user- xjreyes is also having the same probelm
When i first got mine I called t-mo and let them know I was having trouble . I could not recieve or send mms to people on att but I could to verizon and other t-mo members.
She said it had something to do with not adding any info in the subject line .
I am running cyan 3.4.3 and I havent had any problems since rooting .
My g/f works for Tmo and said that they've been having various issues w/ txt messaging.
didn't know that AT&T had MMS capabilities
Doubt its your phone... Im having the same issue. The MMS will either A. not get to its recipient or B. get there 3 days later at like 2 am. I've had this issue with 3 blackberrys and this G1. Its gotta be the service.
So i have had the HTC Aria for almost a month, and still the MMS issue has not been resolved i can send just find to verizon phones, but i cannot receive anybody know a fix for this, would rooting my phone help at all? or maybe some sort of app that does a force receive or some sort. i never had issues getting pictures on my BB Pearl.
i have the same problem, but found a way to work around it. What the sender needs to do is send to like an email attachment.
AT&T (formerly Cingular)
[10-digit phone number]@txt.att.net
[10-digit phone number]@mms.att.net (MMS)
[10-digit phone number]@cingularme.com
Example: [email protected]
Let me know if it works
Is there a way to have all incoming txt convert over so if i have non tech savy people sending it i dont have to explain that to them (if it works)
Ok.. either/all:
Call verizon and enable picture messaging on your account.
Send a picture message to yourself.
hard reset.
return phone
Picture messaging is enabled and im on ATT, its the verizon customers that send me messages i cant receive since upgrading to the HTC Aria. im thinking of just switching to verizon, all verizon customers never have issues it seems like.

I just asked one of my friends on verizon to send me a picture and it appears I have the same problem. I'm hoping there's a way around this.

I think if people are having the same issue, they should be calling AT&T and complaining about it, so that AT&T is forced to reconize this as a common issue, because the ATT representative told me "THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS DEVICE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE"

man.... something needs to be done lol i even stayed on tech for an hour about this
i not shocked that they would tell me that mainly due to that THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHATS WRONG, mmmmm i upgrade to a newer phone, and suddenly i cant get picture messaging......lucky i got a great representative the 2nd time around who's actually pushed it up to to as many levals as she is able to and has told me she will figure it out and that she's even read up on similar issues trying to resolve it. at least there are a few good Representatives out there who do there job as expected.
Just posting to confirm this. I did a test with my friends and had them all send me MMS. Two from Verizon, two from T-Mobile, and one from Sprint. I never received the messages from the Verizon phones. I even had them send a regular SMS afterwards and those were received with no problems. If it were a settings issue or user error it would not be isolated to the Verizon phones. As someone else has said, if you're having this issue contact support with AT&T and hopefully with enough people it won't be some throw-away issue for them.
i agree with you, as well as AT&T first told me that it was the Verizon Customer, i told them the same phones that have sent me images in the past i could get on my BB Pearl, and that they were still able to receive my images, its incoming, i even told the guy if there's some territory mob war going on between verizon and AT&T to just let me know so i can consider the issue resolved, he assured me there wasnt, i personally think its a error converting the images over on the GSM network, w/e the issue is, the Droid X is looking very nice w/ the 8MP Camera
im in savannah ga. using the same sim card for last several phones... on liberated b005.
I can get picture messaging from verizon customers that are my friends. And I was getting them BEFORE I rooted, too!
Its not the phone its USER ERROR.. lol jk idk whats wrong with you guys' phones
it might also have something to do with more populated area's i live in souther cali, so maybe it has to do with populated cities. or something to specific areas. and i doubt its user error seems as i was getting pictures fine before upgrading to HTC Aria, at first ive changed the sim card, as well as the phoen and still issue, even the lady at the kiosk had verizon and sent me a picture and i never got it.and she was verizon.
i spoke with an att tech support rep today and she confirmed to me that there was a known issue with mms between some carriers for some users. She tried to change some routing number within my account settings and told me to power cycle my phone in the morning and try to test it again to see if i can recieve a mms from verizon and if not to call tech support back.
I haven't had any problems whatsoever, I've received countless pictures from my friend whose on Verizon and they come through promptly.
I cannot send or receive from verizon and I can only receive from sprint liberated running 003 . I get an error message saying unsupported data

so i had a friend on a verizon person send me a message today, and at least on the phone its not sending them a message saying i got it, however the ATT rep on wed. told me that they are seeing traffic coming in that is MMS.
So today I was able to receive a Image from Verizon phone!!!! Have the sender reply to a txt from you and attach the image that way. Idk why it makes a difference but if they select the image and then choose you to receive it. So have then reply ajd add the image that way!!!! Hope this works for everyone!!!!!

Throwing in my 2c here as well. No issues.
Hey guys, I could really do with some expert knowledge right now from a few points of view.
Country: UK
Phone: HTC Desire Z (stock ROM)
Network: Orange
Basically for a long time now (over a year) Ive been able to connect to a 3G network but not actually use it at all. When im connected to 3G i cannot send or receive text messages, nor can I send or receive phone calls and finally to top it off I cannot browse the web. In short, when im on 3G I have a £400 paperweight. When browsing the web I get the outgoing data arrows lights up, but the incoming never recieves back.
I have tried my sim card in my current Desire Z, an HTC Hero, an Iphone 3G and an LG Viewty with the same result. I have also tried a 3 sim card in my Z and my Hero just to ensure its not the phone at fault which it isnt as I could use 3G fine with a 3 sim.
Over the last 6 months or so Ive had numerous calls to Orange about this matter to no avail. They have told me time and time again to check my APN settings and eventually sent me a replacement sim which produces the same problem. In early december it got passed over to tech support so they would investigate and they rang back a week later telling me they had done something to do with re-registering me on the cell tower (or summit) and contact them if it didnt work, which it hasnt. Ive now been passed onto advanced tech support who have requested I send them my sim card so they could test it out from their end to try and resolve the fault. I posted it off to them today and they said that ill have it back in a few days with any luck.
Can anyone here think of anything that no-one has thought of yet to try as Orange seem to be spending a lot of time guessing and im all out of ideas now. Also where do I stand with the contract? As much as im happy with my contract and not too bothered about staying in it until July I dont see why I shouldnt try to get out of it if they fail to fix the error this time around so does anyone have any idea where I would stand legally? Whilst my phone offers the capability to force the use of GPRS, if it did not have this capability Id be stuck on a contract I literally couldnt use due to 3G refusing to do anything at all, which i have proven to Orange is their error and not mine and they are failing in their attempts to fix it.
Thanks for any info at all,
Paul
