Picture Messaging On The Touch

im sure that there might be a thread for this already ..... but ive been lazy and i havent asked sprint about it ... but is the touch capable of mobile to mobile picture messaging .. everytime i wanna send a pic the selctions i get are only able to send to email... i cant select to send to a contact... is it jus cuz i cant figure it out or is the touch incapable of mobile to mobile pix messaging

mms is not yet available on sprint. in the future, you can use the search button located on the top right of this page.

there is, but since you're lazy about it maybe you should try kngtut79's advice and try searching.

you can use dashwire. I am on Bell CDMA in Canada and it allows you to send a sms to your contacts as a link to the picture which is the closest I have come to so far. Hope that helps www.dashwire.com

Yeah, it's called MMS, it's stock!

Not without data

Verizon MMS requires data usage to send or recieve pictures and video. I am specifically looking for a program to send and recieve MMS messages without using data. The program linked above, called sMMS, does it without using data.

This will not work for you then, it still uses data, and you need the Sprint Picture Messaging, which is of course not available for VZW users.
Verizon charges you for a MMS like it's a SMS. If not it's $0.20/msg, the package for, I believe, 250 SMS is $5/mo.

I have unlimited texting, but was told that smartphones on Verizon don't use MMS, instead they use data somehow.

EDIT: WORKS BETTER IF YOU JUST GO THROUGH THE LINK ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE FOR DETECTING REASONS. OTHERWISE JUST FIND YOUR PHONE, GO TO FREE/TRIAL>PICTURE MAIL

I`ve been trying for a couple weeks now to get MMS working on my Touch. I got a thread going but no luck in fixing it. I came across this today though http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35616. I called Alltel after I changed the setting, but the MMS network happened to be down at the time, so I don`t know if the setting work since nobody could send any at the time. The representative talked to the advance service tech and googled it as well, but neither could figure it out. I`m gonna call back tonight ( they said the network should be up by then) on a different phone to see if they can diagnose it. It kinda sounds like a problem with flashing roms. I know it worked for me before I started flashing, but it also happens even when you flash to an official alltel rom with a locked phone as in the case with my brother`s touch. When I upgraded his radio his stopped working. Perhaps its a network problem, hell I read that Sprint took it away from there users.

Not receiving texts on Tablet Talk?

First, I have to say that Tablet Talk seems like it's pretty much the greatest thing ever. But for some reason incoming texts do not show up on my Tablet. Outgoing works fine, though. I'm connected by wifi and I have a very good connection. I can't really think of anything that would cause it to not work. I've searched around but found nothing.

I just purchased the app and set it up using Bluetooth and it works perfectly. I just have my n7 tethered to my phone so I haven't figured out how to set it up using WiFi yet. Not sire I can.

I'm getting the same problem, although I have discovered that if you force TT to Sync SMS messages, then fresh messages show up on the tablet. Unfortunately this is not automatic, (as I'm sure it's supposed to be)

The issue is likely that you are using a 3rd party SMS app like Go sms or the like, if so you need to take the option OFF to 'Disable other message notification' or uninstall the third part SMS app and use the stock one.
I am using Go SMS on a Galaxy S2 with my Nexus 7 using tablet talk and it works beauty, but if I hadnt taken that option off I would not recieve texts on my Tablet only sending would work from the tablet.

+1 yup yup... you're exactly right... had the exact same problem! Uninstalled gosms originally and problem solved... but since then I've reinstalled gosms and just turned off'disabled other notifications'... tablet talk is awesome... I'd be lost without it lol I've also tried it on wifi and Bluetooth... no issues either way but wifi will drain your battery quicker

You are on the right track.
I emailed [email protected] and got a quick reply from them.
It seems that my ROM (MIUI) has a bundled Messaging app that has recently had a new option added, called "System mms app priority".
Going into Messaging's menu settings and disabling it fixes my problem.
Thanks.

[Q] Sending text over wifi

Sorry if this issue has been posted before. I'm having issues sending text over wifi. To do so I have to disconnect wifi in order to send it. Anyone else having this same issue and if so what can be done to fix it? This is driving me crazy. I'm on Verizon and it's a Note 3

Wifi shouldn't have anything to do with sending text messages.
As long as you have good cell service your text messages should send and receive fine.
Are you talking about picture messages?

I think it's a Verizon issue.. I have the Note 2 with the same issue... Only works with data mode. I can receive messages in WiFi but if they include a pic, I get a placeholder. Then I have to turn data on to view. When I inquired from this group the replies were... I don't have a problem.

Yes, always with pics and a handful or regular text. With regular text most of the time the wheel at the bottom of the text just keeps spinning

I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it for me.
I downloaded 8SMS. It's AOSP on steroids. You can use whatever your favorite SMS replacement app as long as you can manually set the MMSC.
For 8SMS, open settings, open MMSC settings, enter the following WITHOUT QUOTES. "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms"
make sure MMS over wifi is NOT enabled as Verizon doesn't support this.
btw, I uninstalled the built in messaging app to eliminate any conflicting issues and then configured 8SMS to be "stand-alone mode".

Do you have Adblock Plus installed? That was the culprit for me. Once I uninstalled it, it started working fine.

That's a good point. I forgot about that. I think I had that problem as well. I switched to AdAway which I find is much better and cleaner anyway!

Cannot receive MMS (Cyanogen) Not APN problem..

I have been having this problem for 6 months, finally its annoyed me to the point of asking for more help. If i take my SIM out of my phone and put it in my wifes, i can get picture messages no problem. if the SIM is in my s4 then i cannot. i will get an error message half our later saying message could not be downloaded.
I have verified my APN information, it matches exactly with what telus says it should be, and with what it on my wifes phone. Ive also talked to telus who couldnt do anything more to help me. everything is good on their end, and like i said it works when my sim is in my wifes phone, and we have the same APN settings.
I would love to be able to get pictures in texts, everyone sends them to me and i can never view them.
another issue is that i canont send picture messages unless i turn off wi-fi. if i dont it wont send and will eventually come back saying ti could not send. if wifi is off, sends no problem. i dont so much care about this one, but if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance!

anyone?

Make sure mobile data is enabled and/or you have your messaging app set to automatically download/enable data for downloads or whatever. MMS can only be sent over mobile data and sometimes it needs to be enabled manually to send and recieve.

Hehe GUI setting is not going to solve your problem, can you attach your /system/csc/customer.xml file please, I know exactly what's your problem m8

Two different things have made this happen for me.
1. Adblock plus app
-made mms not with at all
2. Turning on the text with Google hangouts when you initially setup your phone.
-when turned on, messed up all my mms
Check these, how this helps

I haven't tried it but if it's VZW related I will not put it on my device, I don't trust them.

I have used it on my PC.
When you first run it, it takes a while to download the last 3 months worth of text messages to/from your account....
...which in itself is scary....

I used it as my primary Texting App because it makes it effortless to sync across to my Tablet, and also allow texting from my Tablet. I don't trust Verizon either, but this is a dang good program. Put it on my spouses phone and tablet as well. Plus, I flash my phone(s) often and this actually syncs all SMS and MMS.

I also figured out today that somehow, this app running on a PC shows when some other parties are typing. I suspect it's when the other party is using the messages app vs. the stock SMS app. The friend that I was chatting with earlier when I spotted this is coming over shortly, so I'll see whether she's using the stock messaging app, or "Verizon Messages".

Thank you for the link. I was unaware that this even existed! Downloading it now to play with it - whoot!

So my friend is using an S5 with the Messages+ app set as default SMS app on her phone. They must've done that from the factory?
I'm willing to bet this is in preparation for the move to VoLTE. (The messges+ app uses the internet to send messages vs. SMS messaging which is carried on the 1x network)
