Picture mms not working - Vibrant General

Its my first post so hopefully I don't get flamed.. Ive tried looking but have not found the same issue..
my wife also has the vibrant and has not been able to send picture mms after she did the ota update to 2.2. She gets the error as error from server response... I just rooted her phone and put bionix 1.2.1 today but I didn't help..
Please help..

I did notice that now my wife gets two messages each time someone sends her one. Any idea how to disable one of them?

As it turns out, my loading of a diff Rom was coincidentally occurring while AT&T messed up my account... all is well now, please disregard.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

All text messages deleted randomly.

Hey guys, I wanted to see if any fellow vibrant uses have been getting this.
This is the second time this has happened to me. Just out of no where I will launch my sms application (handcent) and the all of my texts are gone, like magic....
I have done alot of looking and found out that this is an old problem that is general for any android user. Wanted to see if anyone know the solution to what is causing this.

This just happened to me recently. I also use handcent. I dont know if this is the case for you, but I am a packrat, so I had a lot of messages.
I think the limit of SMS messages that can be stored on the phone is 5,000. The only thing that didnt make any sense is that not ALL of my messages were gone, I had 8 left from a recent conversation. I cant explain why they werent deleted...
We can start narrowing things down though. If you dont think you reached the phones limit, then maybe it is a Handcent bug, or a bug with TouchWiz.
it use to happen to me before when i had i believe was the mytouch slide at that time but i cant recall. and yes it happened when i had over 3000+ for my GF and like around 200 for other people! Now i usually just get to 600 or less and delete it and start over. I use the stock sms app btw and have no problems at all.
It happened to me too, not the first or second time it have always happened from the start. I don't use handcent, everything is untouched with no root.

Hmmm...a few people claim that this stopped after they uninstalled the antivirus app. However, I never used this app so it can't mean that. On top of that, many claim that this was due to 3rd party app. That wouldn't make any sence because if uninstalling different apps will fix it.
A few also mentioned that installing the sms back up also stopped the problem. It was also mentioned that handcent has an update coming that said they would fix it but that was almost a year ago. I couldn't find anything on the handcent website that fixed the issue. A lot of android users have the same issue as us on their forum. There are at least 10+ posts on this topic, non with a solution....

Have you removed the settings to delete old messages when limits are reached?
or have u edited those settings in the messaging app?
That's the first thing I checked
it's unchecked, no limits and no deleting if old text messages. Here's the thing, even if that was enabled, it would only delete after reaching the limit and keep it at that. What happened was that all the text messages just disappeared...

This used to happen to me on the G1 on occasion. I got around the issue by using the CyanogenMod Messaging application and setting the auto-delete limit to 200 messages per person, and using the free SMS Backup application to export all SMS messages to a label Gmail as they're received. I'm still using the same solution on the Vibrant, and I've had no problems since.
I didn't think that cyanogenmod is available for the samsung vibrant yet...or am i missing something?

The CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) Messaging app can be installed over the Vibrant's Messaging app just fine. Download a CM5.0.8 ROM for the Nexus One and install the Messaging.APK found in \system\data. :]
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Can't download mms messages

Whenever someone sends me a pic by mms it fails to download it.. it says "generic network fail" or something like that .. if I install a new Rom would this fix the problem or install a new kernel?

is your 3g on?
and are you already rooted and running a rom and if so which one?
if this just started then you need to call tech support as its not anything you or the phone is doing, it sounds more like sprint having issues.
I get this problem when Wifi is on.
I just disable Wifi really quick and the picture downloads.
Switch from the stock messaging app to Handcent or ChompSMS...
Thanks let me see if those work.. I'm using virus Rom

I've notcied that I need to turn off wifi sometimes for the mms to download, anyone know why that is?

IDK but it seems to work for me too....

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.
