I noticed I have this issue too while I am at home and have wifi turned on. A lot of times pictures will half load or be distorted. Is wifi what is causing this?
Yea for some reason pics do not load properly on wifi... I see it all the time since I work for sprint.... its an easy fix usually. Just turn off wifi and try to redownloadit and it should work

Hey guys. So im realizing when people send me pictures. You have to click the download button. Well when I click it. It does not download and I can not recieve the pictures. In fact, it doesnt even download. Any way to fix this?

Just realized my pics arent sending either.. what goes on here?
Just sent and received a picture message(With Wifi on). Sounds like it might just be a problem with your phone/connection
**Your phone should Automatically Turn on Mobile Data when Sendin or Receiving MMS Messages while Wifi is active. If this is not happening you may want to Call Customer Care.**
Another thing that may be affecting this is bad Signal

Same thing is happening to me. Sending and receiving pics only works when 3g\4g is on rather than Wifi

This has always happened with me with every phone i had. Including from different carriers. I always thought this was normal.

Quite normal. Of course Mobile Data has to be on. No phone can send a message through wifi and have it delivered through the carrier
Edit
However, even with WIFI on your phone should start and stop mobile Data to send and receive MMS messages. If yours is not doing this, then you may want to call Customer Care.
Another possible reason for why this is happening is that you may have a very weak or bad signal.
I have CM7.1.0 and I love it, the only draw back is that I am not receiving my MMS messages unless I manually turn off wifi and 3G on and then click download. Or if I am on 3G I still have to check if I have a message and if I do I have to manually click download. Can anyone help me with my problem?? Thanks!

Do you have auto-retrieve checked in the setting menu under mms?
Yeah I do that is why I'm confused lol

I know I had this issue a week or so ago. It only lasted of like a day tho. It just went away by itself and the only things i've since having that issue was updating my PRL (*22899). I doubt that did it but you never know!
I leave 3g on when connected to wifi. It just does it by itself.

I do the exact same thing. I was told, by someone, that wifi radio uses less power then the 3g radio.
I've learned my lesson. Lol.

Do you have a lot of people send you pictures? I have never had an issue with the messaging system using that much cpu.

I had data off and my friend sent me a picture of clouds for some reason. Really important. Then that happened.

That's why it happened cause you had data off. Messaging knew it needed to download a pending image but couldn't, so just sat there waiting indefinitely.
That's strange, I would think that he messaging app would just wait until you activated your data again. Not constantly trying to download the picture.

New thread: Why you shouldn't have data off! :silly:
Yeah I see a lot of people that have problems when the turn off data. I understand it saves a little battery but it causes a lot of issues.

Some carriers (T-Mobile) don't use the regular data connection for MMS. Until I got this phone I did not have a data plan and still received MMS like any other text message.
I have auto retrieve off and if I don't download the mms right away it still keeps my phone awake
Next time, tell em to email pics. Lol

Yeah! Why does anyone use MMS anyway? lol
Maybe he didn't have a smartphone. But even basic phones can email these days.
Hope this thread is still alive, I didn't wanna make another topic.
So I have my data off all the time because it saves SOOO much battery, every now and then someone will send me a pic though, I have auto retrieve on, but when I get the notification, and turn on my data, it won't download the image until they send me another picture. :/
would having auto retrieve off fix this? Or is this some other kind of issue?
Ive been textin with this friend and everytime i text her she doesnt get my msgs or she barely gets some from me.. ive texted other people as well and they all get them just her... so what could the problem be??

She's lying lol
Sounds to me like the problem is on her end not yours.
If texting everyone else works fine except for texting to her.....

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.

I have continued issues with receiving picture texts.... I almost always have to tell the sender to send it once more for it to come through. I've also noticed my H bars turning from Blue to Grey when this happens.... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? At&t looks dumbfounded every time I go in or call about this....

TBH, it sounds like an ATT issue.
I know the common thought is that grey bars means lost connections to Google, but when that happens to me, I have always lost network connectivity.

Remove your Google account then add again. Reboot.
Edit, custom ROM? I went back to stock because of many random issues since 4.1.2 was officially released.

mms is either apn related problem or just bad coverage (no good data in area)
you can google different apn settings to try
I have to use go smd to view mms depending on what ROM I'm using.

Uncheck auto retrieve and manually download them when they come. ThTs what I do on my vzw gnex as they sometimes get stuck if it have it auto and don't finish downloading.
