Picture messages taking forever to send?

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any tips anyone knows to make it go faster? Also, does anyone know an image converter? Shootme takes screens with png, I want to get stuff to jpg. Thanks.
I'm also using handcent sms.

Try image shrink lite.

I thought there was a setting on MMS to automatically resize the picture before sending... or that was my old phone? my phone send pictures very fast and I don't do anything to the picture and the camera is set to the highest res

Are you using default messing or Handcent?

I'm still having a problem with this. On all messaging applications too. It is taking 10+ minutes to send stuff and still failing. I'm using my wifi too and get 1.5 mbps up. Please help!
It's only a 17kb picture
I notice it says, "priority normal"

I don't have any problems with mine... I use the stock messaging and when I look at the details it says it's up to 200kb and it sends within 20 seconds on edge...

It doesn't have the swirling circle next to your messages?
Maybe this is a.t mobile issue?

No swirling for me. It just says sending for a little bit and then it shows the date and time that it was sent. You sure that your apn settings are right?

How do I change those? Or look at them?
I called T-Mobile and they said the android issue has a known problem with sending data over wifi.

anyone ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.

Don't use wifi, only edge or 3g.

Maybe there is something odd with WiFi, but I use WiFi daily and have no issues... sorry man.

I had a problem yesterday, I was in a bestbuy and i took a picture of the touch pad to show my wife. I sent it then called her on the home phone asked if she received it. After about 4 minutes it showed up as the download button but would never download from the server. I wonder if there was a server side error yesterday?

I have this problem with this phone and two previous android phones. sometimes it takes forever, sometimes it is quick. I have written off to a T-Mobile network issue, though who knows.

[Q] Cannot Read Email Messages from HTC

Hi there; apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I can read all my emails except the ones from HTC which only display the header; the rest is a blank screen.
All other emails received are aok.
Any ideas?

are they the preinstalled emails or did you actually recieve new emails from HTC ?

hi they were new emails recvd from HTC after I had reported the proximity sensor fault

I'm not sure what to say, mine work fine and haven't read about this issue anywhere else

[Q] Picture message issue

Hey all,
I have a weird issue with picture messaging on my G2. I am running stock 2.2 and using the stock messaging app. When I recieve messages they show up as a 5 second 'video preview' of the picture that is coming through, and the preview is a very small picture. This happens when any of my friends send me a pic- android, iphone, BB users. It also doesnt give me the option to save the message. It used to not do this, only started doing this a few months ago. I tried calling into T-Mobile technical support but they couldnt help. In the past month I have used 2 different G2s and a Nexus S. Do you think its a SIM card issue? Or is this how Android picture messaging is?

That's just how it is. I recommended using a different messaging app, or rooting your phone and put a different rom on it that doesn't have that issue.

I noticed as well, thanks for the info. Any recommendations on which sms app to use?

[Q] "your phone is not compatible with this message type or size..."

My friend has an iPhone 4. When he sends me a pic through mms i get "your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. portions of this message will not be displayed". he is just sending a picture he took not anything else. i reboot and ask him to resend and still no luck. the only thing that does work is when he zooms in on the pic then takes a screenshot of it then sends it to me.
Does anyone know why this happens? its pretty annoying.
i attached a screenshot of how it looks

Lol, check the size of pictures. I think mms only supports 640x to 320x
I have this probleme too when I send one mms picture to a old phone. I resize and works

Maybe try a different sms app like GoSMS? That's what I've been using and haven't had any issues with mms... plus it allows me to zoom into pictures which the stock text messaging app wouldn't allow.

That makes sense. It would be great if there wasn't any ristriction. Or like if would automatically resize the picture before it revives or something lol.

I also use handcent. It gives me the same problem. I'm gonna try the application you mentioned. Hopefully it works for me.

Interesting.... I've received pictures from my brothers iPhone 4 just fine. That's using the stock text messaging app.

message not sent....

hi there i dont know if im in the right section but i need your help. my gf is in uk now and she had put her o2 number to her htc wildfire. the problem is everytime i sent her an sms she has to compose an new sms instead of replying me because everytime she reply's me it says " message not sent" and the problem is id does this only if i sent her an sms. if i sent from an other phone it works fine. i told her to put her SIM card to an other phone an put an other number to the htc and i sent an sms to both numbers just to see if its the SIM fault or the phone and both numbers worked fine :S
the problem is only when she puts o2 number back to the htc. i search all over the web and i even try the tutorial about the Handcent SMS and still no luck. is there something else i must do?

Same thing happens when my girlfriends mother texts her, they are both on o2 but the opposite way round, my girl has a wildfire and her mother a really old Samsung. Her mum cannot reply to messages from my girlfriends wildfire but can send them back if she starts a new message, I thought it was just a one off bug in her mums phone till I read this. Maybe its a bug in o2's system.
Dunno how to fix it though sorry.
