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

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.
I just noticed that when I try to send an MMS, it says it compresses the message but even after compressing it still says the size was something like 964KB for one specific test image - far beyond the 600KB AT&T officially supports. And then when I try to send I get a spinning circle for a while and eventually an alert that the message has failed.
I checked with my friend who also ordered the S4 and he said he also has the spinning circle.
So, anyone else noticed this and got a fix yet?

No I've sent two pictures so far today. Both to iPhones. One, my sisters, also AT&T, and another on Virgin mobile. Both pictures sent fast and in good quality.
Check mms settings and see if there's a send size limit setting

I used the faster APN "ATT Test 5" and it messed up my MMS messaging. I changed it back to "proxy.mobile.att.net" instead of the IP in the thread and it was fixed.
But if you didn't use any different APN then I don't know whats making your phone behave like that.

what are the settings for the ATT Test 5? I have been having issues trying to get my MMS to send for over a week now. Tried several APN settings and nothing has worked so far.
No matter what Program I use I can;t Send MMS with 3rd party texting apps. Stock App works fine, I even tried to has the APn for mms in Chomp and Go sms pro, and I had Tmobile checked in Chomp.. Stock app works fine
any work around?

Yes you need to create a new apn. Mine and my gf was same but I made new apn and it working flawlessly. Make new apn similar to stock except put nothing in apn type field. Stock one has default, mms,* the one you make should be blank. I also changed name to T-Mobile US LTE. I just realized I could have take screen shot and avoided this sigh.

I was having the same problem with Chomp. Used your APN fix and seems only to work as long as I keep chomp from allowing message sizes to be no more than 300K. Usually it cuts down the resolution to something like 120k and the resolution just isn't so great still. Any time a message was sent larger than 300k it would send out, but upon recieving it I would get an error.
Other folks experiencing the same ?
This is what I had to do for GoSMS. I don't see issues with image resolution as big MMS is sent via their own service and MMS under 300Mb is sent via the network.
The solution is actually to change the APN Protocols to IPv4/IPv6. Everything else can be the same.

I've noticed since the kit Kat upgrade no one on AT&T ever gets my MMS messages if they include both a picture and text. Just a picture sends fine. Just text sends fine as a regular SMS. Sending to Verizon and other tmo users have no problems regardless of picture or text.
I've tried just about every APN setting with no effect.
I've read that AT&T has a 450kb limit on MMS, but I don't see any option in the kit Kat messaging app settings to limit this like I recall seeing in the past.
Anyone else on tmo experiencing this or any idea how to limit the size of an MMS on kit Kat?
In on stock 4.4, rooted, no lte at the moment, epc.tmobile.com APN.

Att limit is 600 kb but It will compress anything bigger.

Same Problem on HTC One with 4.3
I have the same problem using an HTC One on T-Mo sending MMS to my AT&T friends. I performed an experiment with friends on the other big 4 and an MVNO friend and found the following:
1) I can receive MMS texts, with or without messages accompanying the picture in the MMS message from any carrier.
2) I can send MMS texts, with or without messages accompanying the picture in the MMS message to any carrier EXCEPT AT&T.
I even tried small files, including ones that were sent directly to me from AT&T friends that I saved on my phone and just re-attached singly.
This leads me to believe that something on the AT&T side is not playing nice.
Any thoughts?
Glad to see I'm not the only one with the text plus picture to att issue.
It is not a 100% issue. I can sometimes have success regardless.

Hey everyone.
For weeks now I have been having an issue with sending mms to anyone, nor can I receive. Im on the Koodo network here in Canada. I have made sure that my apn settings were correct. I mainly use GoSMS and when I select the image, type a message and hit send it just disappears. No sending arrow icon not even the picture itself.
I have also tried in the stock messaging app. But when try the same task, it actually crashes. My gf has a nexus 5 and she is on the Bell network and having the same issues.
Im not really sure what steps to take next. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Try Sliding Messages. It allows you to set APN in the app.

Yes so does gosms. Not sure apn is the issue as it seems like it can't even attempt to send.
