MMS will not send

Hey all, I can recieve MMS just fine (does the slideshow thing though) and I can send MMS fine to, but, the people I send the MMS to do not recieve the mms...any thoughts? Is it my end or thiers??
thanks in advance

have the same problem.

Have you tried sending to yourself to test?

it depends what phones they have and if they have a data plan since some phones require data plan to send and receive photos (G1,mytouch, anything android) well at least on tmo thats how it works

im on the elegancia rom i can send and receive but when i receive them they come in very small. if i send one to myself thats like 300 it comes back as about 7k same from other people.
any help?

I have the same problem on my phone. I can receive pictures fine, but when i send them it says it was succesfully sent but no one gets them. When I send it to myself it works? any suggestions?

you have to debrand to be able to send MMS?? I just got my x10a unlocked from rogers. Can't send/receive MMS.

yes as far as i read. but my problem is i cant send any.

That would be very odd if it's true.... anyway.. which network are you on? you'll need to set up the APN for your network provider.. try their site - I got my Vodafone settings from Vodafone rather than SE..

I had no trouble sending mms on ATT with my x10. I did need to input the apn settings and my phone wasn't debranded.

Sony Ericsson X10 Video MMS problem
I also have an X10 on the optus network. I cannot send video mms, but picture mms works fine. I went to optus today and a sales guy has the same phone and we tried it on his phone and he had the same problem. The red clock on the envelope symbol is next to the message when sending and it never actually sends. Eventually I get a message saying it was unsuccessfully sent. The envelope with the clock turns into a red triangle with an exclamation mark after 10 or 15 minutes. The settings have been checked, and optus confirmed that the same settings are used for pictures and videos so it should work.
I rang Sony Ericsson today and the guy I spoke to didn't have a phone configured for MMS. He is going to get back to me as soon as he has tested what I've described and has an answer.

MMS video Kinda fixed
I notice in the last phone update that SE have Kinda fixed the Video MMS feature. I'm disapointed in how they fixed it though. It seems that in order for the Video MMS to send it needs to be 4 seconds and no longer. Looks like they just limited the mms video length to 4 seconds within the software to overcome the message that used to pop up saying that it was too big to attach to the message. This does not make sense to me since all my previous phones (mostly Nokia) all send longer video MMS of about 12 seconds. Why is it that even when setting the camera to the lowest setting and when clicking attach in the messaging screen then capture video, the video is only 4 seconds??? This is crazy.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
X10 on Optus network

Has anyone heard any updates on this?
Perhaps it will be fixed in the 2.1 update (if it ever gets released)?

Updates on what?

If you send a video mms from an xperia x10, the attachment is limited to four seconds of video- the video quality cannot be reduced further to increase the time.
Four seconds is better than nothing, but not that useful.

think that's a carrier limitation issue, here's just 300kb after that they will charge you the mms but won't send it xD

MMS

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.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Liberty using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

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.

Unable to recieve sms picture

I am just wondering on your opinion of what could be the cause of not getting an SMS picture someone sent me. In my last phones I would get a bunch of garbled text so at least I know it attempted to receive it.
I am able to send out SMS pictures and the same person is able to receive them.
suggestions?

Is your friend with a different network provider?
I have a similar issue, that a friend of mine with a different provider cant send me pic messages. They send, but i never get them.

I am with bell and they are with telus

hah, what a coincidence. exactly the same situation here.
i was able to receive pic messages from this same person with my 2 previous bell phones, but the sgs is the first one on the 'new' network, with the sim card and all.
tried it with 2 other people, one (on rogers, with an iphone 3g) couldn't send me a pic, another (also on rogers, but with a blackberry) was able to send me a pic.
telus = rogers
thats gotta be the difference. still unsure as to how to fix the situation though.....its extremely frustrating.

same situation... called tech support, they arent any help. I can send pics to my friend on Tmobile USA from Bell, but I dont get their pics on my vibrant . They have a vibrant as well so it should be working. Gotta be the networks fault.

yeah, i can get pics from a friend on koodo. that person is acting like a pic forwarder now hahaha....and i can send pics to the telus friend too.
anyone found any other info on the web about this? it cant be all that uncommon....?

I can't help, but I can add that I too have had problems receiving SMS messages from someone on a different network. In my case it's from a Fido iPhone user, while I too am with Bell Canada. The Bell rep I spoke to was able to send me a lovely picture of his keyboard without any problems.

Isn't fido part of rogers too? Maybe its a general rogers >> bell thing....
Is this just with the galaxy? Or have you had it work (gotten pictures from that particular contact) with previous phones?
What i cant figure out is that if the problem is with the network itself, shouldn't there be relatively easily-found reports of it elsewhere? I can find no such reports.....

Surfed the internet, and tried a whole bunch of different settings again, and still no dice. Still works from Koodo, but nothing from any rogers variant.
Highly ticked. Probably give bell a call monday, see what they say.

I was able to receive pictures on my old phone (Moto Razr2) although the last time was quite a while back (over a year). Perhaps Rogers changed something in the interim that broke it. Unfortunately I haven't anyone to further test this with.

[Q] Truncated SMS. Bell Mobility or Atrix?

I was hoping someone can help me here. I have a problem with my received sms messages being truncated. I phoned Bell and asked them, and they said its the Atrix. However I sent myself a sms, and it was not truncated. I just wanted to know if its Bell or the Atrix; and how I fix it.
Thanks!

Truncated?
I thought that was a mathematical term not...
What exactly happens again?

It's a Bell issue. I used to be with Bell on a Samsung Galaxy S and experienced the same thing. Same issue on Telus too

The messages are coming in broken up. If its over 160 characters it comes in 1/2 and 2/2 and so on. Now today, they are not even coming in order. I just got some in this order, part 4,3,2,1 and then 5.
I spent 10 minutes on the phone with Motorola Canada, and they confirmed that the phone should not be doing this at all, and its carrier related.
I also spent 30 minutes on the phone with Bell for the second time today, and they tried to blame all the other carriers, saying its the way they break up the messages to send. I had 2 "work" phones that were both with bell, and neither one did this, so I really don't know what its related to. They told me to call back in a week if it does not fix itself.
Plh36 - Did you ever phone for support? Did they ever give you a reason why it does this? I would have stuck with Rogers and just bought the phone from Bell had I known that they can't handle their sms messages properly

I'm on Bell (with an HTC Desire Z, not sure why I'm on this forum) and I get this problem sometimes. I figured it was due to the sending party. Dumbphones and CDMA phones tend to split up messages. Try getting someone also on a GSM network and a smartphone to try and send you a message. I tested it right now with a friend who has an iPhone 3GS on Fido, and I received a non-split message.

This message splitting is normal for Bell - I had this happening with my HTC Touch and Samsung Galaxy S.

Some SMS programs allow you to change how the message is or isn't broken up. Use GO SMS. I'm on Rogers but my friends use GO SMS or other messaging apps and we never have this problem. But I know what you're talking about. It's very annoying.

This. Its because CDMA limit sms to 160 characters so the companies that still employ CDMA as part of their network will limit them. There is nothing you can do, its the network, not the phone.

Hi, this is a problem with your atrix, very many people in Brazil have the same problem, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068693&highlight=Brazilian

I recommend you using GO SMS Pro as a replacement of your stock sms, and this would solve ur problem.
P.S. i'm using atrix on koodo

Fuaaaarkkkkk I'm on Bell and this happens to me now too. It's a nuisance!! Happens when people from Rogers send long text messages.
Maybe I'll phone and complain, score something good like a discount or retention rate plan lol
