Receiving picture messages problem. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that if I don't have data on and someone sends me a picture message, I don't get a text or anything indicating that. When I turn on data I still don't receive the text, but when they resend the picture with my data on. I'll get two picture messages, one being the past one I didn't get. Why is this happening?

Bump I know my s2 would show a picture message with a question mark and I'd turn my data on and download it. But with this phone and same APN I get no text message at all. Unless the person sends the picture while my data is on

[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.

Picture message problem

Hey everyone
I was wondering is anyone else having this problem I am. I have tried multiple ROMs and still this has remained constant. I have had multipul people send me picture messages and most of the time my phone tells me i get some sort of message but when I click the notification there is nothing there and it takes me to the new message field. Idk if its something I doing or what but please need help.
Thanks!
I get this too. Mostly if someone uses an email to send an MMS to my phone number. But sometimes it's regular cell phones

My Nexus doesn't care for some things sent from iphones, for instance, contact cards ad slide shows. I just assumed it was an incompatibility between formats.
I seem to be having the same problem it shows me a notification for the message but when clicked on it sends me to the compose no message or the original msg thread.
For me what seems to be the issue is I turn off data or have wifi on and the message wont come through

Nexus 4 SMS Sending Issue

I've had my Nexus 4 for about 6 months now and everything's been working great but over the last few weeks my text messages have been hanging on sending. It doesn't send me a notification that says my text fail to send. Just the message I sent is stuck in sending. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Completely stock and using the stock messaging app.
Thanks in advance.

I'd check the APN's to make sure they're correct. If that fails, have your provider refresh your profile.
Happened with my n4 once... But it was not persistent ..however my message app never tried resending it , dont know why.. I deleted that message and tried sending another one it worked... I believe u are in a low signal zone when this happens.. not totally a software thing...

Texting problem anyone?

I seem to have some texting problems... after receiving a text when I text back right away for some reason my replies pop up before the message I just eceived. Ie. Msgs arent in chronological order. Its not much but jus annoying. Anyone else with the same problem?

Sounds like a problem with the clock. Do you have Network Provided Time checked?

[Q] Recieved MMS images not showing?

Recently I have been having issues with people sending me pictures and them not showing up. I get the mms but the picture shows up as an image icon with an orange triangle with an ! in the middle. I can save the attachment and the picture will show up as a thumbnail in the gallery but when I open it the picture shows for a second then shows an icon of a ...person maybe...with a lightning bolt. Any idea? I was thinking maybe the image was too large but that doesn't make much sense since you can't send huge pictures via mms. Any insight is appreciated.
I am having the exact same problem. Can't find a solution anywhere. Any ideas yet?
The mms apn setting is not correct. I'm on Telus and under my apn settings type is says default,mms with NO spaces.
If there is a space between the comma and mms then picture messaging is broken.

I've never messed around with the APN settings. Other MMS come in just fine. I just read it might be affecting MMS received by iPhone users on the new iOS7. Can anyone else confirm this?
Nope. I get pic messages from 3 different people all running iOS 7 on a 4s,5, and 5s with no issues
