unable to receive picture massages - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having a problem where I am unable to receive picture messages. This started about a week or so ago out of the blue. I have called Sprint twice and spoken to tech support, but they have walked me through all the obvious things to try and are telling me everything looks fine on their end.
I can send pics no problem and have no issues with regular texts - my only issue is with having pictures sent to me.
I tried nandroid restoring my phone to a point from 2 weeks ago as well as a restore point from over a month ago. In both instances I was still unable to receive pics.
Does anyone know anything else I can try?

Hello,
I have browsed through these boards for a couple of weeks now and seen many pages of issues and problems and for some reason i recently got an issue i cant seem to figure out so im hoping someone else has experienced this also. I recently Hard Reset my phone and reinstalled all the Cabs i wanted. i am on a verizon Touch Pro 2 and i can text everyone except one phone (a phone on my cell acount) and it will send but then respond with MY phone number saying its a System Administrator text back to me saying my text has been delivered. Its annoying and only get it from this phone so far. Why am i getting this? If i need to give a screen shot i will.
Turn off the delivery notification. This can be found under sms options.

[Q] Unable to get texts from one person

So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.

text messaging tantrums!!!

Hi all
Noticed this at xmas but got sidetracked and never brought it up.... until i tried to send a bulk txt this morning !
I have UK defy unlocked with t-mobile, stock ROM but rooted.
When i try to send bulk text messages they ALL fail!! i have to manually resend each one multiple times until i discovered that you need to resend them one at a time, but let each one actually finish sending before moving on to the next.
WTF??? is all i have to say about that...
has anyone else experienced this issue? any ideas how to resolve?
thanx
Apps on the market that are supposed to allow multi-text messages at once. Never tried. I have heard this complaint before with Defy. Not sure if it's been addressed in the latest update.

Not receiving picture messages

Has anyone had an issue with not being able to receive picture messages? my sister sent me several pictures a few weeks ago, and my sister got them on her phone in minutes, when it took 4-5 days for my phone to get it, and by that time, it said they were "expired."
I just had someone else try sending me 2 picture messages, and a half hour later, nothing. I'm running a Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile GSM with Energy ROM. Was anyone able to fix issues like this?

[Q] Any one else not able to send or receive text messages?

So when I woke up today, my phone decided it no longer wanted to send or receive text messages. I contacted sprint, reset data, updated my profile and prl, did a factory reset on the phone and nothing worked. I had a similar issue last night but fixed it by going into airplane mode and then turning it off. Now I have to get it replaced.
Any one else have this issue?
My phone is completely stock btw
UPDATE: My phone just randomly fixed itself lol Just received around 30 texts all at once.
Mine is currently doing this. I did a battery pull and it didn't affect it. I haven't contacted Sprint yet, but maybe I'll have to if it doesn't get rectified soon.
My wife and I both experienced something similar with our EVO (except we were able to send messages at least) and had to delete the SMS database to fix it.
