Receiving blank MMS from iPhone users.

Hi,
My Desire HD has this issue when I receive an MMS msg from a user with an iPhone.
I can a receive the mms fine but when I attempt to open the attachment, I get a blank page.
This only happens with mms msgs from iPhone. I'm able to open msgs from other phones just fine.
I'm running Android 2.3.3 with Android Revolution HD 5.1.7 ROM.
I've tried googling this problem & have found many other users with the same issue but no solution so far..
Anybody know of a solution? Should I try flashing to the latest version of Revolution HD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The answer, my friend, is never buy an iPhone. I'm surprised they can send anything.
Jokes aside. I can't see how it matters what phone the mms is sent from. Whatever phone sends it, its data all compressed or whatever the same way. So. The problem may lie in the type of data being sent.
Have you tried to receive different types of data and maybe a few different photos?
I have experienced receiving mms problems myself. Only ever resolved when I changed rom hope this helps.

I can only assume that, difficult as this may be to believe, the iphone MMS is in some kind of no standard format. My advice would be to suggest that your iphone owning mate either get an app that allows him to send them with a standard format (whatsapp would allow him to send them purely as data) or to buy a proper phone.

[Q] Anyone else having trouble with MMS on t-mobile UK?

I have not been able to send or recieve any MMS messages at all. I have contacted tmobile for the settings and have recieved a 'picture' from them that is meant to mean I am good to go but I still get the following message.
'unable to send after multiple attempts'
and recieve a link to pmcollect when someone send me a message.
Has anybody else experienced the same problem or could anybody suggest a fix.
Many thanks

Bump!

Tried this to no avail. Get the same message

Try ticking data roaming in the networks. I have found in the past if it switched to the orange network and data roaming wasn't ticked it wouldn't recieve mms messages.

Yes this is ticked.
Has no-one else on Tmobile had a similar issue?

I can send, but not receive, MMS messages.

I created an APN exactly as described here and it now works.
Looks like their stock APN setting is broken

I'm on t- mobile UK and I have no issues at all with sending or receiving mms, my one x is unbranded and unlocked direct from htc! Is your one x t- Mobile branded?

Have you tried sending an MMS to yourself? I had this problem and T-Mobile told me that I had to do this, to activate the facility. I know this was mentioned earlier, but it did work for me.

I have tried all of these things and have had no joy thus far. It's not a major problem but it's bugging me...

Try changing the mms settings "maximum message size" from 300k to 100k,see if that makes a difference, out of curiosity after reading this thread, i tried to send myself a mms yesterday....(i'm on Voda), it wouldn't send.....changed the size to 100k and it sent, then changed it back to 300k and it then sent as well.

Texting issue....

Hi is anyone else here have issues receiveing text messages in foreign countries? I'm in the military and currently stationed overseas South Korea.
I am able to receive messages from some but not all. The ones I am not able to receive messages from instead of getting the actual message I get "Message format not supported."
The only difference I noticed from the various users are that smartphone users work and old style flip phone dont work.

They might be actually sending you MMS in a format that is not supported by the receiving phone. Works mostly when new vs old phones send each other stuff. If it's just text message, I fail to see how it's different though, unless it contains characters that the receiving phone cannot display.

Say if my phone is not able to display it how and where would I get the necessary software to display it? I've searching Google Play but nothing that actually installs the language packs onto the phone all side apps.
I've tried talking to HTC customer support they replied stating that the One X currently doesn't support all languages in Asia. Now if that were to be true what would be an work around? A global phone not having global support like seriously... My Nexus is way better then this phone.
Any suggestions? I'm currently stationed in South Korea not being able to receive text messages on my phone will partly render this phone obsolete.

Bump does anyone has an work around?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

when my phone arrived, it did not have american english as an option. i downloaded an app from the play store called morelocale2. maybe that will help?

I just installed the morelocale2 switched it to Korean had them send me a text this time it just showed format not supported in Korean. I believe this rules out as not the software side. Perhaps that or morelocale2 doesn't fully switch the phones display and only the system language.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

there are some other locale type apps on the market. and there is the possibility to select korean for the keyboard on mine. so it might be worth checking around more.
one other issue mentioned elsewhere is message size. you can choose a size up to 300k in the message app supplied with the phone. possibly another message app would enable larger messages.
there's a korean version of handcent sms. handcent is, though garnering some criticism for the way it functions on the one x.

I currently have the maximum message size set to 300 already by default. I've also tried handcent, and pro sms. Installed both the Korean plugins for both app insteadof getting message not supported I get a blank space, as if someone sent me a text message with spaces no text.
The space isn't the full length of the message it only has about roughly 3-6 spaces worth.
I also installed the Google Korean IME I can type in Korean now but still no luck with text.

if you've signed up for a handcent account and done everything else, you may have to try the korean service sms app or contact htc to tell them the difficulty you're having using the regular app. let us know how it works out. by the way, does your service provider in korea have it's own app? they may be able to help with tweaking to some extent.

I've contacted HTC support already they just site t ne to google play to install some third part program telling me they are allowed to endorse other products so I have to search around myself.
As for contacting my service provider I have not done so yet will be next on the list. My current service provider is "olleh kt"
It shouldn't be the provider though because my Nexus S works just fine send and receive no issues. It also supported every language unlike the One X such a let down.

can't say i know how to do it, but maybe you can port over the sms/mms software on your nexus. some owners in the states are having to tweak apks and so forth to get at&t voicemail, for example. hopefully there's a fix for you, too.

It seems its the service provider issue at first I had assumed it was cause the old phone to new phone problem. Now I just realized its the provider can't receiveanything outsideof my provider going to talk to the manager later.

Sounds hopeful.

[Q] The first two characters in SMS not sending

Hello!
My problem is that when sending SMS not sent the first two characters, for example:
As it should be: "Hello how are you?"
As actually sent: "llo how are you?"
I'm from Venezuela and the problem appeared when I changed the chip of the phone company, with the first chip sending ok, but the other not sent the first two characters.
I have a HTC Inspire 4G Android Revolution HD 6.3.2.
Any suggestions? Problem with ROM and company phone?
Thanks

If it worked fine with the previous SIM then its a problem with the new SIM/phone company. You should go and ask them.

As sashank said, it's most probably an issue with your sim.
My friend had his sim card replaced but in his case he could no longer send SMS at all, they sat in the outbox no matter what he tried to do.
He called the company's support and told him to replace his sim, the problem was fixed.
