Sending MMS Problems after 2.2 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So lately Ive noticed alot of time I send picture messages to people it says they cant recieve them. Some people with other Droids can get them and Blackberry users also have no problem. I sent a picture to a basic cellphone and an iphone and neither phone could download the picture. Anyone else having this problem and is there a fix?

I'm having the same problem. I'm also having a problem receiving messages. I'm using redemption 2.0.4

I'm all stock, so the sending MMS part has to be something with 2.2. I don't have any problem receiving them though

Are you sending through handcent? I cannot send mms through handcent. You have to use stock messenger for now...

Im using totally stock and non-rooted phone. Still gives me issues

MMS has always been a challenge for me with this phone. When I first got it I was able to send MMS to anyone with the exception of iPhone users using most messaging application I tried. To send MMS to iPhone users I had to use the stock messaging application (not Handcent, etc.) and also enter text into the text field, or else it would fail. After I upgraded to 2.2 I noticed that more often than not my MMS were failing regardless of the device I was sending it to and what application I used. This problem seems to be specific to the Incredible and is quite frustrating. Any info or knowledge on the subject would be GREATLY appreciated!

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.

The same thing is happening to me. Two days ago, every MMS I try to send eventually errors out and moves into the unsent messages folder. Regular txts send fine. I can receive MMS fine. Whether I try to send just a picture or a picture with a small amount of text; doesn't matter, same result, doesn't send. I'm running a rooted Sense ROM. When I come across a solution, I'll post it.

[Q] Always have to "download" text message from iPhones?

Hey-
Interseting problem that I'm hoping someone may have a "fix" for. I'm running the Thunderhawk III rom on my epic. Whenever someone sends me a text from an iPhone, I have to "download" the message before I can read it. Never happens with any other type of phone that I'm aware of. This happens when using Handcent and Go SMS, however, if I'm using the stock SMS app it comes through fine. Anyone with any thoughts or fixes? Thanks in advance for any help.

Go to the stock sms app and then settings then turn on auto retrieve message, do this on go sms and handcent as well.

It's a "feature" of iOS.. seems apple in all their wisdom deemed to send most all sms as mms, so normal phones (android) see them as mms and will occasionally have to be "downloaded"
oh, and the wonderful "feature" also in iOS about replying to texts that were sent out to multiple people, by automatically replying to all.. apple FTL!

Anyone using MightyText having a problem sending MMS through Web app?

I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

Doesn't work for me.
I installed Contacts+ and made it my default messaging app. Now MMS/group message works using MightyText.
MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.
Brian
I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.
Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent

[Q] MMS Not sending with WiFi on

Hi all, Just recently picked up the G3 after Trading in my HTC One M8. I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS while my wifi is on when using Evolve SMS. I know that Textra has a work around built in where it turns off Wifi To send the MMS over Data but I don't really care for the look of Textra. I'm not sure if maybe my settings are off with Evolve as when I had my M8 it would send and receive with no problem. Anyone else having issues with this or know of any other 3rd party MMS apps that have the work aroudn built in like Textra?
Thanks,
Believe it or not every phone is different. Download and test. What works for me hasn't worked for others

It depends on the app. I have issues with hello sms, but had them with the Nexus 5 too. Chomp SMS works more reliably, but I never know if I'm missing messages. I've resorted to using hangouts with the SO for images, and use texting for sms only.
Convincing other users to jump on yet another messaging app is always a hassle.

I went back to the stock messaging app because it was the only one that seemed to send and receive everything reliably while on wifi calling mode.
I mean, for one example, Google Hangouts doesn't even offer to resize pictures - and when you have a hard message size limit, that's a deal breaker. (The stock app indicates 1 MB is it.)
