Receiving blank MMS from iPhone users. - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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] About SMS on CM6

I've searched far and wide, and can't seem to find anything on the issue I'm having. Or maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but it's been about a straight hour know that I'm looking and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
My problem: When I send a SMS as ONE text it sends perfectly, but once the text reaches 2 texts and I try to send it does not work, it says "sending..." for literally 10 minutes then I get a notification saying the message cannot be sent. I have no idea what I could possibly do to fix this. Someone help, please?
My suggestion is picking up the phone and calling them.. clearly you have alot to say.
(its late... you'll have to excuse me... lol)

Yeah, I was expecting something like that from this time at night..lol. I did laugh.
I think the problem is that the message you're trying to send is over 160 characters, and since SMS messages can't be over 160 characters, and the messages app isn't breaking the text into two texts, it can't send and just times out. Try using chompSMS or Handcent as an alternative, as they have auto-160 breakout features.
A known problem with that Rom. Can't send texts over 160. Why I tries fresh Rom. Can't stand that and don't like the sms in the market. If I can find out to put froyo sms on the Rom id switch back to pick. Bit that's a downfall to me personally.

I really must agree with you. The rom is awesome, but that's a major issue for me. ah well, guess I'll go back to Virus or someone else.

I should spell check before sending. Amyways, on cm6 my sms never had the letter counter so could never tell if over or not. I thought it was the kernel I installed. Then went to the Rom topic and people had the same problem. If I can find out how to pull the sms apk from froyo and push it to cm6 is say I have a perfect Rom.

Yeah, this is a real issue. CM6 was originally for GSM networks, which don't have problems with extra large SMS messages. They haven't tweaked the AOSP messenger for CDMA networks yet (by splitting messages).
Here's the issue on the bug tracker. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1942
Be sure to go there, reply and star the issue.

That makes perfect sense. That's pretty game-breaking if you ask me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds that to be a huge problem. I'll definitely go to the link you provided and take it from there. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Sending MMS Problems after 2.2

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!

Your MMS Server might have the wrong address or something. Tell me something, are you able to send regular text message without a problem or does that result into an endless wait too? If you're not able to send text messages either then you're going to have to flash into a sense rom preferably Sprint Lovers ROM and go to the dialer and press ##DATA#, once you press that you should be prompted for a code which will be your MSL....if you don't know your MSL then go to the market and download MSL reader....get your MSL and retry the ##DATA#.....once you enter your MSL then you should see a black screen with about 4 or 5 menu entires....go into Advanced and scroll down to where it say MMS Server and make sure it says http://mms.sprintpcs.com.....if it doesn't say that then that was your problem....reboot and re-flash CM7.
No I don't have any problems with SMS. But I will try the process you stated ... I had to do pretty much the same thing to get my 3g to work on my custom roms so I get the jist of the steps ..ill post my results once I set it up. Thank you for the help

Did you have your 3g on? Won't work on wifi, but works on 3g. 3g has to be on before you begin to send.
Fixed it! thanks

Solution?
I have the same EXACT thing happening.... U ever find out a solution?
Long messages or just simple text?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
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.

Email. apk Wrap Issues

I am having a problem with the word wrapping in the stock email.apk. I experienced this problem in the latest version of CM and now latest build of AOKP.
The issue is that whenever i send an email from the stock app it does not properly wrap the text when sending. Upon receiving emails, it works perfectly fine just not when sending. It will send the email with broken sentences and punctuation. Does anybody know how to solve this??
And no im not purchasing some stupid app as an alternative. It worked for every android device I had still i started using the Nexus 4. I use Microsoft Exchange as the incoming/outgoing protocol, so theres not many free apps that is fully capable of supporting it.
