Can't send picture messaging

Can't send picture messaging, what should I do or check?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I rarely use MMS so I'm probably not the man with the best answer. That said, I think it would help people a lot if you provided more info, like:
What rom are you on?
When did this problem develop?
What changes have you made to your phone recently?
Have you recently frozen/deleted/disabled any stock apps?
Can you still receive MMS?
What is the exact behavior? I.E. does the phone try to send the MMS and it never goes through, or are you getting some kind of error that doesn't allow you to even try to send?
What troubleshooting steps have you already attempted?
As it stands, with the amount of information that you've provided, most answers you get will be completely wild guesses.

My problem started occurring after I rooted my phone, I'm able to receive pictures just can't send them. It says generic network failure

[Q] any1 who uses handcent, please read and see if this happens to you.. Annoying...

Hello all.. Ok here is a weird on, well maybe.. Does this happen to anyone...
SO I get a message and pull down my status bar, and click on it.. Lets say its John.. I go to Johns thread and see the mesage, and I notice it says a different name at top then john.. Lets say Rachel... I am in Johns thread and I send a message it goes to Rachel but shows up still in Johns Thread.. Essential meaning it goes to wrong person.. I have to stare at the top to make sure it is right person now.. It doesnt happen all that much but I have sent messages to people that I did not mean to because it had put a different name on the top...

If people have complained in the market about the same problem its not your phone it is handcent... I don't use handcent so I can't really help you further than that... I would look into a different messaging app until that is fixed...

I've used handcent since my first Android device and have never encountered this problem, or any problems for that matter.

Welp, there's a free 'thanks' for ya. Anyway, I read about someone having this same issue, but I don't remember if they stated it was specifically for Handcent or not. Me personally, I've been using handcent for a while now, and I've never experienced this problem, nor am I now.
However, I rarely use the notification bar shortcut to get into handcent. I'm using the ICS lockscreen through WidgetLocker, and left circle is handcent, so that's what I do 99% of the time to get to my messages.
Not sure if it's an issue of getting there with the notification bar or not.

ill trying using the actual icon instead of the staus bar for a while, see if that makes a difference..

Just a thought (not sure that it would actually help) but have you disabled all options under the stock message application's settings? Also if you could post/pm your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

yes. at point stock was removed as well....
what do you mean post setting? example??

Have you tired reinstalling the app? Or clearing your Dalvik and cache? Clear app data?
This usually clears things up. I have never had this particular issue... Do you have any of Handcents add ons installed? Perhaps the issue is with one of those...? Just some thoughts

yes done all of that.. still not helping issue... it doesnt do it all the time either... just sometimes but annoying enough...

I mean post your handcent settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

what settings do u want? lol there are hundreds

There are not "hundreds". Mainly any that would be specific to app functionality and send/receive settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

well there are ALOT of settings within handsent that can be changed.......
but here are my send message settings
Comp check, is on
auto conver to mms
auto resize pic
quick attach
prevent resend
sms to email gateway are the only things checked...
In receive settings
handcent delivery report
auto retrieve
roaming auto retrieve
timestamp is default
self check
are all checked....

And you said you removed the stick messaging app from your system?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

i did a wjile ago... hve it now made no difference....

what rom are you using? my wife has said this has happened to her. she is still using midNight 5.3 (EC05/Froyo); she can be technology challanged so I figured she either saved a phone # twice on 2 people. Trying to grab the phone away from her while she is feeding her words with friends addiction is tough though!
I have been using handcent since I had the moment and on my epic for over a year. I've never seen it happen. Not that I haven't had any issues with it; but they usually fix things. This seems really random though

im on acs ics v5.5... ive emailed handcent numwrous times about it.. no help yet

I've been using handcent for a very long time and also never encountered this problem. I've used about every single rom out for the epic since ec05 and had this app on my moment as well
So idk what could be wrogn.. I once had a problem where I sent a txt to the wrong person cuz of this app but its not the way u said it happened it was cuz of low signal and txts not sending so they started saving some as drafts and some kept retrying and 2 got mixed up and sent to the wrong people lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yeah it is very strange.. and I have sent some messages that should not have been sent to that person.... But i never payed attention the top sender... It will say one name but show a different persons thread.. I just have to pay attention now and be careful not to hit send till I know the right person is at the top...

Random text message.

I just recently flashed mikrunny's v1.01 and ever since I did so I keep getting this random text message from the number 6250 and the contents usually say either vzwnmn:1 or vzwnmn:2. At first it didn't bother me but now its starting to annoy me. Any idea of what it means/is.

Its was am idea Verizon had to let you know you had an email...turned into a bug. Forgot how to disable it lol
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

There are two ways to disable it. The easiest is to go into the message, push menu, and select block messages. I think it will ask you to set up a password, so do so. It will then say no messages found. Press menu, block list, and then press the plus button, and add 6250, and press okay. Then back out, delete the message, and you should never see another one again, until you flash a new rom.
The second option is to go to the my verizon website and go to the sync options and turn it off, but I always have trouble finding it and it doesn't stick between flashes either, so the phone way is just as good.

Thanks for the help. I love this community. Probably the most helpful out there

Google Voice

I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with the google voice app using their galaxy nexus on verizon..I am unable to send texts from the app. It just hangs at Sending.. with the little circle going around and around. It will stay at that screen for a few minutes then will say the message was canceled. I tried rebooting, uninstalling the app and nothing has fixed it. I also have tried it on 4g, 3g and Wifi. same result.

oh okay. maybe they are fixing the problem, but one platform at a time? idk

I'm so glad you posted this. I had the same issue! Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Seems to be working better though now but had problems all afternoon and into this evening.
I'm on VZW as well.

Having troubles sending texts through gv on Verizon today as well
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

I had the same issue tonight and I just tried texting myself from GV and the text took 6 minutes for me to receive it. Something is definitely wrong at the moment.

I was also having issues last night (~5-8pm Pacific) with the app. Uninstalled, re-installed, cleared data and cache of app, all sorts of stuff. Gave up and sent from the mobile voice website and it was fine. Hours later it was working a bit dodgy. I have found that the app is much more problematic than the website or a chrome extension.

it does not work for me at all. For example, to send a text message. When I say "send text message to.....Message...Hello" there is nothing in the "to" field, everything is in the "message" field. I've seen this problem mentioned on google forums, but no answers.

[Q] Help! SMS Issues No One Can Seem to Solve (Even Sprint!)

Hello People. Here's the scoop. I had a fully functional S-Off Rooted Sprint Evo 4G Running Deck's 1.3 or Cyanogen 7. I had Zero Issues up until 4 weeks ago. I noticed several of my contacts were not responding to texts. Quick phone call confirmed that no text was being received by these people. This happens to about 5% of my friends. It's the same contacts each time.
So, here's what I've tried.
-Searched EVERY Thread/Post/Forum about this and no one seems to have the EXACT same issue.
-Upon recommendation, I flashed the newest version of my ROM's Radios and Kernels (Was SavagedZen but Recently Usually Tiamat) No Change!
-Flashed a Rooted OTA from TheMikMik. Nothing!
-Each time I flashed I cleared Cache, Dalvik (Which Normally was enough) When devs requested Full Wipe, I did so.
-I tried flashing a Rooted Sense Rom, Provisioning, Updating PRL and all those goodies and NOTHING! Same Issue Persists
-Finally out of ideas I wiped phone, ran the S-On Patch, Reverted Bootloader to stock and unrooted fully. Updated all the PRL and Goodies again and, NOTHING! Same Issue Persists!
-Called Sprint and they tried some things and directed me to a Sprint Store. Went to Sprint Store and they updated HTC Software to 5.07. Nothing! Same Issue Persists! The Only Break I had was one time the operator from Sprint Customer Service sent a Refresh Signal to my phone, and those people with issues got 2 text messages from me! Then right back to Horrible, they never got one after. They said they couldn't figure it out and that it may be a hardware issue.
PS. The contacts that cannot receive messages from me can send them to me successfully as well as receive MMS from me. Only Outgoing SMS is dysfunctional to these contacts.
I'm lost. I've flashed many a ROM and learned a ton from you guys so hopefully someone can help!
I'm vacationing to NY in two days and need a fully functional phone before then, so hopefully we can figure this out in the next day

He moved it from the forum that is was in before.
But anyways, it might now be your phone. Your friends probably have low connection or their service doesn't like to be compatible thus causing the issues. Besides that it may just be their phones and they don't realize it. When i say do i send YOURSELF 10 texts, all counting down like 10 9 8 7 blah blah blah, if you get all 10, then its NOT your phone. This still causes your signal to bounce it to satellite and towers etc but it gets sent to you. There's no short cut it takes so its as if your sending to a friend.

Nandroid your current setup, and than flash a mostly stock ROM like TommyTomatoe's Classic.
You don't need to sign into Google. You should start receiving your old SMS messages.
While on this ROM, update your profile and PRL. (Your messages may not come until these steps.)
Now use your nand to get back to your ROM. If you still do not receive SMS, you may have to repeat and do a fresh install of your ROM.

I have been having gmail and sms issues. When I send a text or email 5 out of 10 times it gets stuck on "sending" and never sends. I just tried what you outlined here and it seems to have worked. Easier for me because I am already using TommyTomatoe's Classic rom. I just didn't even think to see if I could update the pro and profile on this rom. Can it be done on any sense rom thats not plain stock?
Anyway...THANKS!!!!

here is a long shot..... if the messages that are not being sent are over 160char make sure you are have sms split selected in mms settings and if you are using a 3rd party messaging like gosms or handcent make sure those settings are matching in the stock app and 3rd party

@Matt, your are welcome.
Any Sense ROM should do.

The Sense Based Rom I flashed was the TommyTomatoe Classic. I can receive SMS fine... It's my recipients that do not get them... It shows as if its sent, but upon phone call to these people, they do not get it. They have 0 complaints of this happening with anyone else...
I tried sending myself messages and it works... I just don't know what to do!

No 1 Before the number... I have a HUGE Event coming up this Saturday. I need to text my whole phone book (5,000 people) which I used to be able to do just fine. Now I am very concerned that I will not be able to succesfully send this message and I could lose 1,000's!
