I'm unable to receive photos or possibly other multimedia files on my brand new at&t galaxy s3 phone. I"m using Handcent as my primary messenger app.
Any ideas/solutions? THank you in advance.
Do you have handcent set to receive sms & mms in the settings menu?

I believe I do because i havnt changed anything in its settings. If not, where do I go/what do I need to do ?
Can you receive pictures on the stock application in the rom? I had an issue where I could not receive any pictures at all. Needed a new sim card and had to factory reset.

Good afternoon,
Can someone please assist? As the title reads, people are sending me pictures, and I'm not able to see them. I don't even get the download option, nothing comes up period. My phone's rooted and no special ROMs are installed. I went into Settings > More... > Mobile networks > and Data Enabled is turned on. I'm using Handcent. Not sure what other information is needed, but does anyone have any ideas?
Also, not sure how to update to Android version 4.0.3. My phone is rooted and the check for updates button says it's up to date but I'm not on 4.0.3. Sorry if I sound like a complete noob haha

I'd first check the settings for mms in the SMS program you're using.
Also 4.0.3 is not available on the gnex unless you're on a custom rom. Verizon is on 4.0.2 and some GSM models are still on 4.0.1

Just fyi if you have wifi on sending and receiving mms messages well either take forever or not happen at all
I forgot I disabled handcent as my default sms/mms application so Vlingo could do TTS. Thanks guys!

So I'm having trouble receiving mms on Task AOKP. I checked my APN settings and all are correct according to bells website. I'm not sure what the problem is, but the picture shows up and just says downloading. However i can send mms no problem. Is it the ROM?
Resolved!!
Firstly, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989458
Secondly, turn-off auto retrieve in the messaging app settings. This will require you to manually download the mms, but it shows up

If so can you send and or receive MMS? I can send/receive with stock app fine but not handcent.
Go SMS Pro has the same issue. Can receive them fine but can't send. Have to use the stock messenger
I can send and receive on the latest aokp with is 4.2.1 based.

i am on jbsourcery 4.0 which is now android 4.2.1 and my handscent works fine. i restored it from titanium, not a fresh download. not sure if that matters.
try going into the settings and setting it to default messenger.
Chomp sms also had this issue, I saw it listed on their FAQ. Supposedly they're working on a fix.

You are able to send and receive MMS Picture messages fine? Can you share any special settings perhaps?
I can't comment on handcent, but in gosms I had to enter the apn settings again within the app itself. I can send and receive fine. Not sure if handcent has a setting like that too

Just got off gtalk with handcent & servers have been updated & mms is working fine on att lte apns now! Hell yea! They keep a 5 day cache of apn settings so you may need to set your date & time ahead a week then send a mms then just change it back!
I am having problems with go SMS and hand cent and crunch SMS getting able to send Mms. The stock app works fine but all the aftermarket ones can't send messages. I am on nexus4 on att. Any suggestions?

Its an Android 4.2 issue, couldn't get Handcent or Chomp to work on my GNex either. Interesting thing I found is if I use Handcent to start a text to a group I have set up then delete Handcent and finish the MMS with the stock app I get an error like "You are not authorized for this service" this is on Straight Talk At&t. If I add each person individually with the stock app the MMS goes through.

Does the same for me on everything but the stock app.

Handcent came out with an update to fix this but it still doesn't work

Hey I got this to work today. Turns out you have to type your MMS APN settings manually into the SMS app, as I guess they no longer can access the settings themselves.

Not sure exactly what youa re referring to in the app? Can you post a screenshot? Are you creating a seperate APN for SMS/MMS?
Thanks in advance.

Has Anybody been having issues with texts lately? It seems like my messages are not getting through. Maybe happens once every 10 messages.
Idk if it's my network or the rom but I think it might be the network.

I had similar problems with att settings on my phone and it was the APN settings that were off a little. Had http:/ instead of http:// for the mmsc and it wasn't downloading or sending. Not sure if you touched your APN settings but if you did double check them.
Has anyone had problems sending or receiving picture text messages? I can't receive them or send them... can someone help me.

I have problems sending and mostly receiving picture text messages using Handcent. I sent them an email. I think is how they set the APN.
Picture text messages work fine on stock message app.
Are you using stock message app? Check your APN settings for your carrier.
Note 3
no problems here with stock or gosms apps.
still running stock build, I'm on tmobile's network.
In my apt i don't get service, so the messages have the circle and are waiting to send. When i gain service it still won't send. A simple restart usually fixes for me and messages go through. Try clearing the data on messages app. Turn off phone take your sim out and put it back in and see what luck you get.

For me, 3rd party MMS apps only seem to send /receive messages after a reboot. Not sure what the problem is.

Gosms is not working for me.
Only SMS issue I have is when you open up a text from the lockscreen, you type in words and it doesn't show at all. Gotta exit out then go back into the text and it'll work.
I just started having MMS issues yesterday. I have tried uninstalling the update to Hangouts, clearing cache in the Messaging app and Hangouts, force stopping both, and clearing caches, reboots, toggling data, I can't seem to get an MMS to send or receive. Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday the 18th? It's driving me crazy!
From what I have seen this is a T-mobile problem as it has started happening with MANY phones.
I had this issue the other day. I ended up uninstalling the SMS app I was using which was Hancent and the issue went away.
I am currently using SMS Popup along with Chomp SMS and it appears to be working okay.
