I can't open attachments in my messages. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When someone sends me an attachment in a text message it just says downloading then gives me a message saying it can't be downoaded.
This is happening on stock and with Chomp messaging.
Any advice?

Is your data connection on? If so, then maybe the network is down for a bit and just try again in a few minutes.

I'm having the same problem. Also on stock.

It's apparently a problem with the CM nightlie I was using. Flashed SuperCM7 G2 v1.9 from Htcclay and absolutely love it. And videos play when I get them in a text message on stock messaging AND Chomp.
I think I found my favorite ROM! This thing is so cool.

Texts are all mixed up

I remember this happening to my rooted g1 with the slow and sort of crappy sense ui installed; so when my wife complained that her text messages on her Slide dont go in order i was shocked that the problem STILL exists.
I didnt see a thread about it here, sorry if i missed it. Anyone else have text message conversations where the texts are out of order? Phone is stock btw
I appear to have that same problem too, but I'm using stock Android right now. If we have the same problem I can elaborate on it more.
My problem seems to be that if I get a text message reply from someone and it's in the same minute as the last text message I sent the person, their text will go above mine, even though they sent their's after I sent my text.
So for example: I send a text to somebody at 3:20:15PM and that person sends a text to me at 3:20:55PM, their text will go above my 3:20 text, making it look like they sent the message first.
I had this problem as well, before my phone was rooted and even after. The only solution i have found is to install a different SMS app, which i use Handcent because its the closest to the stock app, and its free.
interesting, my wifes is stock and she said it happened with texts that were no more than a minute apart as you mentioned.
i just cannot believe this is still a problem. Sense UI is neat but this sure seems like a fundamental feature that shouldnt have such issues...
same thing has been happening to my texts, before and after root.
i can say the same thing happens to me also

MMS Issue

I am having an issue with MMS. Some of my friends that text me do not show up under all messages. They only show up if I select the SMS/MMS icon within the MMS.apk. Issue is when that happens I cannot open the text messages. It just says loading and never loads. Only the messages that show up under all message can I read. Anyone run across this?
Can you provide more information like if you are rooted and if so what rom are you using..
Yes I am rooted running Redemtive rEVOlution 2.2 running Viva Azul 1.1 Theme.
I'm running the same setup but am not experiencing this. I can tell you this though. I was getting some random force closes from the lockscreen settings.apk and ran fix permissions. Totally f'ed up my mms. Just a thought. Had to go to a backup.

Weird. Dunno why I am. It is only a couple of my friends that this happens to. One is on At&t and one is on Verizon. I have started from scratch before but same issue.

Also trouble with sending messages with pictures
My phone is an HTC EVO 4G, on which I have flashed DigitalKarma v7.77 Heaven: Deluxe Edition.
I have searched until my eyes gave out but have found no solution to my issue which is I cannot send messages with pictures attached. After a considerable amount time I get an error which indicates a "generic network error", no error message, no additional details. Now I am also receiving this error on incoming messages with pics as well. I do not know if this came along with the flash of 7.77 or if it is unrelated. If you have any information, please share.

[Q] MMS won't send on stock messaging app?

This is kind of weird. I'm using AOKP Play Milestone 6 with LuPuS v4. I used the Verizon Messaging App from the Play store for a while but it just looks horrible to me, I was able to send and recieve MMS messages on that app, same with GO SMS Pro. I wanted to go back to the stock messaging app, but MMS won't send at all. I started to send a photo to a friend of mine, then left for class. I got back and it still says sending. I'm pretty sure there's a problem if a phone tries to send a message for over an hour. After two tries, I attempted to send it on the Verizon app and it worked. It never failed, it just says Sending. I'm also curious about this one.
The Verizon Messaging app has this neat feature where it'll say that a text was sent, and when the phone I texted has actually received the message in realtime. Can I enable that on any other messaging app? I'm asking because those "Phone Received Message" icons actually show up on the stock messenger.
As for your first problem, i don't know but perhaps you could try googling it.
For the second one, i'm not quite sure if this is what you mean but you can get a delivery status report on the stock messaging app although i have the R800i.

Oh okay, thanks for the second issue! I didn't know the name of it, I would have had it forever ago. Still having an issue with sending photos on the stock messaging app unfortunately...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I tried disabling wifi and that didn't work, my mobile data is on as well. I tried going to a website then sending, still stuck on "sending."
EDIT2: Just bought this app and it won't send mms photos either...

Now I REALLY don't want to go back to GO SMS because I spent money on this one. I love this iPhone type app, but I just wanna send MMS...

Can't receive picture mms

I can't receive any of the photos I'm send. I'm using GoSMS as my sms app and when i get a photo it gives me an option to download but when I click it, it just downloads then eventually stops I have AOKP 4.2.1 with the 3.0.30-Underwear.kernel. I tried disabling and enabling auto receive on the stock app, and checking if the apn is correct. I searched the forums and even google for the past day and it still isn't working.. Is there anything I can do ? If not then is there any ROM that you suggest I should use..
Also, how come my stock sms app refuses to open if i have one thread with like 20k messages. I have a friend with the older nexus and his phone is fine..
The message says
"Message not downloaded
Select to review the message and try again"
You need to change/manually input apn settings in the gosms app to match the phone
There is also that fill user Agent manually thing, do i need that? :S
Hmm, okay now I can send them and people actually get the photo and not a link but now I dont get any message at all lol. Like it doesnt even ask me to download it.
Bump? Still not getting mms LOL
