MMS not being received by another

I sent a picture message many times to my friend and she never received it. I tried it on hanscent, chompsms, and the original messaging app and she hasnt received it. I'm on tmobile by the way. Is there a problem going on right now with the mms department?

I'm having an issue receiving MMS on my N1 on Vodafone in Ireland. I won't receive them at all even thought I have entered all the correct settings!!
Cheers,
M

Is the phone rooted? Do you have a custom rom installed, if so flash the rom again.

yes it is rooted to cyanogens 5.0.4.1 i flashed it about 3 times.

i had to change certain settings to be able to send mms to iphones....

I've had issues sending mms on my unrooted n1.
I think it has something to do with the photo size (despite being compressed for mms) if i send a regular picture (always on highest resolution) the report stays on pending until failure. however if i use something like ezimba and reduce the file by say 30% it's received almost immediately...
not sure if this is the cause or not, but that's the work around i've found to get it to work...

what settings? i'm having trouble sending pictures to iphones (3gs) too.

Picture size must be under 300k (this includes the text message).
There is a setting under handcent that lets you specify the maximum size. By default it is 500k.
Change that setting and it may work better for you.

MMS sending does work

I have read all over these forums that many are having issues sending MMS's.
I have tried numerous android builds. Darkstone's builds are my favorite. I am using a T9193 on ATT in the USA. And I have never successfully sent an MMS. I can receive them.
While doing a speedtest to check my speeds with the new darkstone froyo v2.1 I got on average 1400 down and 15 up. I believe all builds have issues with very slow upload speeds. There lies the issue.
When I attempt to send a 300k pic through MMS the message times out and cannot be sent. Most of us have seen the forever sending but never sends issue. So I attempted to send a 10k pic through MMS. And what do you know, it sent. So I tried another and it sent. If you could keep the larger MMS from timing out they would eventually send.
So the issue is not that we have incorrect APN or MMS settings, it is that the upload speed is just too low at the moment. So when the devs get our upload speed fixxed we will all be able to send MMS messages through android. I hope this sheds some light on the subject of MMS messages not sending.

To answer my own post. After I successfully sent the small 10k messages, I can now send larger MMS messages quickly. What is up with that?
Edit: the new larger MMS pics were not larger in size. They were png images which were also about 10k. False hope.

aye this actually worked lol

interesting. so wifi would be better if we try to send a larger pic mms?

Seems to make no difference when using wifi. I tried to send a 300k mms using wifi but it was "sending" for an hour before I finally cancelled it myself. Quite possibly at least with ATT that MMS messages send over cellular data anyways.

I've also got issues sending mm messages except I'm on t mobile and using at mobile issued HD2.
I'm using mattc's 1.5b build and both incoming and outgoing messages are capped to 8kb.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Mine receive and send fine. I'm on T-Mobile using darkstone v2.1
Sent from my HD2 running Froyo.

i'm with you. i'm on att and i can't send, receive is completely fine. i'll try sending a small pic and seeing if it works
EDIT: just tried a 39.2KB pic and no go..........THEN tried a < 5KB pic and BOOM! sent!
EDIT 2: still can't send anything over 10KB even after multiple sends. definitely has to do with upload speed and/or latency

i cant remember where i saw it...but there was one of the devs that enabled ppp data in the smd1 and this was supposedly making data work perfectly..no packet loss at all up or down. This was awhile back and dont know why this feature never got implemented in any of the builds. I bet this would fix our problem. I'm gonna do some searching and see if i can find what im talking about here..lol
*edit* Here is the link, dont know how we can get our hands on this: http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/...it;h=2e866a70a6eea4a9a31d4954572ba100151513d5

I had issues with sending MMS until I deleted the appropriate APN and recreated it. Even though the settings appeared to be identical.
It's worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.

Stock MMS Problems

When I send an MMS to anyone on a network other than T-Mobile using the stock MMS app, the recipient receives a 10 second slideshow with the sent image in it. However, if I send the same image using Handcent rather than the stock MMS app, the recipient receives it with no problem.
Has anyone else experienced this? Using Handcent for MMS is easy enough, but I'm curious as to what's wrong with the stock MMS app. Have others experienced this problem?

consult link in my sig

I checked the link in your sig. Is it in reference to the same problem that I'm experiencing?

The initial MMS issue was about receiving MMS, but after they fixed the Receiving MMS it created the issue you are describing

I hear you. I'll give them a call tomorrow, but the fact that mms seems to send properly in handcent but not in the stock app makes me think its problem with the apk and not t-mo's network.

Can't send\recive mms

Hi,
i have hd2 with cm7 android rom.
I don't know why i can't send and recive mms message.
Any solution?

Search the HD2 Android fora for 'APN Settings' and apply the settings that are appropriate for your mobile carrier. 99.9% of the time incorrect APN settings are the cause of the problem with sending and receiving MMS messages.

failing that download "gosms" from the market and try that, if it works you know the problem lies with the messenger app and not your network, i had the same issue on hyperdroid (ended up sticking with gosms after using it lol)
hope this helps

hey i have the same problem i have coredroid v1.6 install on my hd2 and i cant send or recieve any mms messages any of u guys have a link to a tut on how to fix this im kinda new to this

Service not activated on network - error while replying to group message - tmo us

I am getting this error on my phone when trying to reply to certain group messages. it is a paint in the a###. My APN settings are fine, i have double checked them. I have used both EPC and FAST APNs on TMO and get the same error on both. I dont know what else to change to make it work. This should be simple, but its aggravating !!
Anyone have this issue ? i am running the AOSP rom. thx
