google voice receive multimedia messages now? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I remember reading that sprint would be getting pic messages update for google voice where the pic would be forwarded to your email but I never heard about that update being for all providers. But just now I got a pic message where the pic was forwarded to my email. Does anyone know if this update has come out officially. I would like to read update notes. (Also mods, if there is a better forum for this plz move. I just consider this my home forum)

You can receive mms now. I wasn't aware the functionality was expanded beyond Sprint until a couple weeks ago. It sends to your email just as you said so I'd say it's rather official.

I thought you could only receive MMS from Sprint customers still? This should've made headlines...

That's what I thought up until about 3 weeks ago. I was actually surprised. Lol, I guess I didn't miss the announcement.

Just tested this out. Sent a pic from my regular T-Mo number to my Google Voice number. Didn't work for me.

[Q]Delayed SMS problems?

Is anybody else having issues with other people getting delayed texts sent from galaxy s ii?
I am sending to att iPhone and they have been getting delayed texts. Never had issue with HTC sensation so I am assuming this is a galaxy s ii issue.
Can Anyone confirm this?

Mine are not delayed... Sent to my roommate's iPhone 4 when he was sitting next to me on the couch. I love Swype's censoring when you use speech to text. I think my message went something like:
"Why do you keep f****** keep censoring my *** d*** texts you piece of s*** keyboard!!"
That was the end of my childish exploits, but hey, he wanted to see the feature

Is it on wifi this whole time?
I tried both. Wifi and 4g. Same result. My gf is on att and had been getting them delayed. If I swap my sum Sim to sensation, the problem is gone so it has to be gsii and how it sends SMS.

I think I have the same thing happening. It's hit or miss though not every message is delayed. Btw the gf is also on att.
Same thing happening here. Most texts go through fine, but some have been delayed, or didn't ever show up. I'm going to call T-Mobile tomorrow...
I am using my old Sim from Sensation. Are you guys using the old Sims or new Sim that came with galaxy ii. Just curious If that might be a issue.

any updates? Co-worker just got a GS2 and is having a delay on incoming texts, not so much with outgoing. We're both on tmo, i sent him 3 texts about 15 minutes apart took him around 3 hours for the first one and never got the other 2 before we left work, if he sends me one comes through immediately.
that's a service provider network problem, not a PHONE problem
if i sent to people on the same network, they receive it instantly
if i sent to people on a different network, they get it in a second or two

For me the problem resolved itself, but I ended up getting a new SIM card from T-Mobile anyway, just to be on the safe side. It doesn't happen to me anymore.

lol this is how i block or unblock people from texting
To chime in - i had this exact problem until 4:44 eastern time monday.
All her texts came in at once then. Texting to and from others was fine for both her and i, and she could receive my texts.
She is on ATT - perhaps they have that in common.

Issue sending Video MMS to iPhone

Hi,
I have seen this issue in other forums with other devices, but I thought I'd mention it here.
My Girlfriend has an iPhone 4s. I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM). When I send her a video MMS, she never receives it. Other users seem to be able to receive them fine. After doing some testing, it appears that she can receive them if I use GoSMS or Handcent from the Android Market, but it will never work with the stock app.
I'm assuming this is some kind of compatibility issue on the iPhone end? The stock SMS app encodes the video in some format the iPhone can't recognize? This is kind of an annoying issue. While I have found a workaround, I kind of like the stock SMS app on the Nexus and I just hate it when stuff doesn't work.
I'm gonna say an issue with the iPhone. I was at a party recently & about 6 of my friends (no iPhone) were complaining that my other friend (iPhone user) would answer them back super late or not at all. Turns out she wasn't getting their messages or getting them really late, or getting duplicates when she finally did receive them... (no issues between non-iphone users)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Okay, as an update, I don't think we can blame the iPhone. I just tried to send a video mms to a friend who has a MyTouch 4g running Cyanogenmod and he doesn't receive it either.
So, the messaging app is formatting videos in some way that isn't supported by other phones? Anyone else having this issue with the Galaxy Nexus?
Nope, I send my girl a MMS video when I was on 4.0.1 and it worked on her SGSII.

That's Samsung to Samsung. I'm not at all surprised it would work, even if it's some proprietary format that the phone is recording the video in for MMS messages.
ive sent MMS to my fiance and her thunderbolt no problem.
i remember hearing about that you had to change something in iOS so it would not use some apple application to send/receive texts/mms

You're probably thinking of iMessage. That is disabled on her phone. I don't know what else it could be. I even created a new MMS APN to test it and it's still not working in the stock app.
I have no issues sending mms to my girlfriends iphone 4s .
I did initially simply because I also had an iphone at one point and I message was getting confused . But once she turned that off ..sent me a pic and turned I message back on ..everything was good to go .
I have had no issues on any rom I have tried.

I can do pics just fine. It's video. If I click the attachment icon and select video and then "record video", she never receives it, nor does my co-worker running Cyanogenmod on his MyTouch 4G. It seems like it's a file format compatibility issue. Whatever format Handcent uses for the same function works fine, although the video is flipped when the iPhone receives it.
Mm that explains a lot I thought it was a att or sprint thing that you couldn't receive MMS from some android phones. It happened to my 4S when a friend send some pics but when I switch phones. They re send that pictures and it work... the sucks tho. My wife might not get my MMS sometimes then

Yeah, sorry about that. It was pretty disappointing to me, as well. The good news is that we can still send video mms if we use Handcent, ChompSMS, or GoSMS. And if it makes you feel better, Windows Phone 7 STILL can't send videos that way.
I'd still like to know what the problem is. I reported it to Samsung and got a generic "talk to AT&T" response. AT&T is NOT the problem here.
Actually ..I have a wp7 trophy ..the recent tango update brought mms with it thank god ... so we really do just suck . I HATE using 3rd party SMS apps .
I'm going to dig a little deeper and see if I can find a work around or maybe even a fix

Well I updated my radio and bootloader last night to the official 4.0. 4 and the test videos I sent to my girlfriend days ago were pushed through to her at like 3am.
So she told me a out it this morning.. I went ahead and sent a new video and she got it no problem.
That seems to have fixed that issue... As well as data and voice signal drops

Want to know what's ironic? My girlfriend received the videos I sent her several days ago at 2 am this morning, as well. I haven't changed anything on my phone. I wonder if AT&T did something to their system on the backend. I'm going to do some more testing?
That's crazy man Haha

Confirmed. Tested it this morning and she now receives them right away (though the video orientation is always flipped if I record it in portrait). Looks like AT&T did something and it's working from the stock app now.
Weird coincidence, huh? Maybe your update fixed AT&T's delivery system!

[Q] area codes with state notify

Is there a way to have our phones display where a call is coming from if the person calling is not in your contact list.
here try this out, i do believe itll fit the build
Try Youmail it will also tell you the company/person name if it is not in your contact list
Doesn't Mr. Number do that also? Shows it on the call screen.
What modem are you using? Samsung phones are finicky, and many users are reporting a huge difference in signals simply by switching modems.

Call your carrier, have them reset your line, describe them the situation and tell them you need everything reset on their end.

I have started seeing the same thing on my phone. I haven't had time to dig into it but I just flashed FreeGS3 last night and it started today. When I was full stock/rooted I never noticed a problem. It doesn't happen every time either. Are you on a custom rom? May not have anything to do with it, just a starting point for me.

Yes I am on a stock rom I haven't changed anything besides rooting the phone. My problem just started yesterday and hoping it get resolves really soon.
Has it been happening with every text you send, or is it kinda random? Mine seems to be random so far. Hopefully its a network issue on TMobiles side.
In case you don't know, in Messaging apps settings you can set it to request a delivery report for SMS and/or MMS. That way you can at least be sure if/when your texts go through. It will notify you when it is delivered.
