I've noticed that sometimes when I get MMS Pictures sent to me, i'll be able to see it, but later when I go back to view it again, it's gone! I'm not sure why this happens.
I also get that every once in awhile, when I click on the MMS I see it for about a sec then it disapears like it got deleted can't find it anywhere.

So I have been having this problem ever since I got my Evo 5 months ago:
My contact pictures are always missing from the stock htc message app, I do not have facebook and all the photos are ones that I have taken. I attached them by going through People and tapping on the blank face icon and then finding the picture in my gallery that I wanted to use for that contact. It works fine until I reboot and then everyone's picture is blank again, everyone still has the correct photo in People though. Very frustrating because I go through the trouble of taking pictures of everyone for no reason. Everyone else I know has thier message app linked to facebook so they don't have the same problem. There has to be a fix for this and it has done the same thing on every single ROM I have ever flashed, Thank you.
EDIT: I can't believe no one else has this problem, I had the problem before I even rooted my Evo...
happens to me to sometimes relinking the picture to the contact fixes it but its hit or miss
Yeah but I don't want to do that every time I reboot my phone, it takes way too long. Everyone's pictures are still attached when I go into People so that's why I'm confused why they are missing from the messages app...
Try the following in a terminal window (this changes the permissions on the contacts folder):
su
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
Reboot
This has fixed my stock SMS app.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum but have done a google search for my problem. It seems like it's still an ongoing problem that doesn't have a solution as of yet.
My problem/issue is with MMS messages that contain more than one picture. I've got handcent and the original messaging app that came with my droid incredible.
The best way I know to describe the problem in detail is to give an example. Let's say I received an MMS message that contained 10 pictures. With handcent, I would download the message and it would/could come in in different ways. Sometimes it'll only show me the first picture(view thru some sort of picture manager), sometimes it would show me the first and last as some sort of a movie, and then sometimes it would show the entire set of pictures in a movie type format that would last for 1-2 minutes give or take with no way of scrolling from picture to picture. However, unless it shows all the pictures in a movie type format there is no way to view every picture unless I go into the messaging app that came on the phone.
When using the messaging app on the phone the MMS message comes in in 1 of 2 ways. The first is a slideshow that shows every picture with an option to scroll from picture to picture. I'm pleased with this and would like all of these types of messages to come in this way. The second is the pictures come in as attachments. With this I'm only able to view the picture one by one. I have to click on what picture I want to view then choose between "View or save to SD card" then choose how to complete the action by choosing between "View picture or ASTRO Image Viewer".
My question is why doesn't all MMS messages like this not automatically come in as a slideshow where I can manually flip between pictures, either with the messaging app that came with the phone or with handcent? Is this a droid issue, specific phone issue, etc.? Is there a system setting that needs to be changed or a phone update I need to do? I had an LG Dare before this phone and all messages like this came in in slideshow form and I could flip between each picture.
This is the only problem I'm having with this phone. It's rooted and I'm running RR rom. I just want to be able to view each and every picture by scrolling or thumbing through the message. It's just amazing to me that a phone with this capability would have an issue like this
Thanks for any help!
to the top
does anyone have an answer?
Tried googling around and wasn't successful; maybe I just used the wrong tags..anyways
I've noticed this issue quiet a while back and never thought of it; but recently it seems to of been getting worse..no Idea why because I haven't changed my setup
But; what happens is if I send a text message then open up another app; I.e browser, irc, ect, ect.. then press the back button when I go to open up my messaging app again to reply or send out another text it'll open up the previous app I just backed out of.
This is seriously annoying because I can't get to my text messaging threads at all and have yet to find a work around to fix this except rebooting.
I've tried clearing cache and that hasn't seemed to work. If anyone has any other ideas i'll be glad to test and report back.
Nothing? Nice help guys

I have been unable to receive mms messages on every JB rom with every modem and kernel out there while I AM NOT ON WIFI. Is there a fix for this I may have missed? They notify me but stay as "Downloading" permenantly?

I started with CM10 Nightly 0906 Nightly and I was in same boat. By clearing app data in settings I started receiving some of the pics. Still not able to get video. Will have some one try again tomm. Also I can't send video tells me "Message Size Limit Reached" "You can't add this video to your message"
So made some progress but not 100% yet! I have read all kinds of things. Also found this stuff but have not tried any of it yet and not sure any of it will help!

Ya, I tried that to and it works for my Pics but still cant send or receive video. So who knows. I guess since a lot of people are not complaining it seems to be hit or miss!
Kind of like the photos in gallery. I here some complaints about old pics not showing up. But mine has been working perfect.
I am thinking about wiping everything and starting on the latest build just to see. But who knows!

On cm10 clean install with the first nightly onward, I've never been able to send or receive MMS until the following finally worked for me on sprint. YMMV:
Got mms working finally by deleting mms.db and telephony.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony in databases folder (delete the 4 files in that directory). . I also happened to clear messaging app and phone app data by force stop and then clear data thru settings / apps / (scroll to rightmost category to find all apps / scroll down to find phone and messaging apps). Reboot Also did the voice dialer app --> open apns voice command and edit sprint mms proxy to 68.28.31.7 and mms port 80. Save (settings->save) and reboot. Not sure if all these steps needed or just first one.
UPDATE: It works but gets stuck again and requires a repeat of the above. Not sure this is really a fix.
I have be searching for a solution since November for the Note 4...
Google Messenger is nice, simple and I like the Material design. However, it has an issue on our phone with MMS and attachments on Wifi...
If someone sends me a pic as part of a group MMS text, it doesn't download and it will sit there for 5 minutes or so, and the app cannot send or receive anything while it is sitting there lagging... So if someone else sends me a normal text, I won't get it until the app finishes whatever it thinks it is doing.
I have searched and searched and it seems the problem is pretty well known and documented, but I don't see a single fix for it... Some report that changing or editing the APN settings fixes it, but VZW locks that down, so we cannot use that.
The phone has gotten 2 OTA's since then, still doesn't work... Google Messenger has been updated a few times, still no fix... Going on 4 months now, surely someone must have noticed this and addressed it?
I see people all over the web having similar issues, with other phones even...
Something is borked with Google Messenger but I cannot for the life of me figure out what... Driving me nuts!
