Gmail Dropping Attachments - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

When I send attachments from my GN2 using the Gmail application, the attachment is dropped from the email during delivery and does not arrive to its intended recipient. The file is a jpg image that is very small and should send through without any hiccups.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with Gmail on this device or even on a different device? I've been using Gmail for years on Android without ever experiencing this issue and it's driving me nuts!

Never heard of or seen this. Try sending it to yourself. The person you're sending to probably has security restrictions that is removing your attachment.

The odd thing is, it's even dropped it from the email in my sent messages. I'm wondering if it's because it's on my external sd for some reason?
It's also dropping the file if I send an email to myself.
Stock AT&T no rooting or mods.

Are you sending from a browser? Is so, do you have rich text enabled? Can you send yourself an attachment other than a picture?

No. Using the Gmail app.

I have the same problem on my original Note. Never with pictures, but with MP3's and Apk's. I tried removing the file extension (and 'dot') and it seemed to work. I just added back the correct extension after receiving it, and had others to do the same when I sent them things.
Maybe this info will help you guys.

Problem has been corrected for me by taking the update for the Gmail app that was released today.

[Q] Don't get picture messages from only ONE contact

Me and my friend both have unlocked Galaxy Nexus phones. He is on T-Mobile and I am on AT&T. I can receive picture messages from anybody and everybody else in my entire contact list but when he sends me a picture I'm only getting blank messages. We can receive each others texts just fine and he can receive my picture just fine as well but not vice versa. It's a bit annoying and I dont like using 3rd party apps like Voxer or LiveProfile to send and receive pix cuz those apps suck lol I'm not sure if it's a carrier problem and I can't really test it because I don't know anybody else who has T-mobile. My question is: "WTF?" lol
Just have him email them..

Thought of that. That's just as much hassle as using Voxer or LiveProfile.

SOLVED!!!! S3 Text Message Issues

So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however
Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?

Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

Odd Group MMS issue

So Im having an odd group MMS issue with my GS4, I have a group message thread that my family and I use all day every day to communicate, 3 of the 4 have iPhones, and one has a GS3. Everything works perfectly with the people using iPhones, but with the one GS3, I always get her replies in a separate thread. This didnt happen on my HTC One using Sense, but did with the Google Edition ROM, and on happens both on touchwiz and the Google Edition ROM for the GS4. Any ideas?
Anyone?

I have the same issue. No one was able to answer it. The person having problems in mine had a note 2. Maybe a Samsung problem?

I didn't have an S3, but on my S2 when replying to group messages it would send out individual SMSes instead of as an MMS. Default behavior on the stock messaging app. They might try a different client like gosms, or maybe facebook messenger and tie in sms/mms functionality to that.
Or do the iPhones see the S3's response as a group message as well?
The other people see the iPhone as a normal group text.
Go sms does work... But it's got an annoying double notification for group messages. Hmm.. Strange..

Could be because the S3 doesn't have native group messaging. You could try installing one of the AOSP messaging mods with group messaging on that device and see if it clears it up if the phone is rooted.

Thanks for the thought. Hopefully helps out the other poster. Still doesn't explain my issue with the person with the note 2 tho

That I couldn't tell you. Does the Note 2 have native group messaging?
Sent from my TI-82 using XDA Premium
Yeah.

I'm pretty sure the S3 didn't have native group messaging. If i recall correctly, I would get a different thread for each person responding to the group sms. And that's why I love my S4.

I know the S3 didn't, that was part of why the AOSP messaging mods were so popular.

Well wouldn't hurt to flash a different 4.2.2 mms. Maybe it'll work. If not at least I'm backed up

Mighty Text Problem

I love Mighty Text. Since switching to Note 3 Mighty text won't send MMS just SMS. If I try and send a photo through Mighty Text even one it previously sent through S4 it won't send just says "waiting for phone to send message".
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

There is a lot of chatter about 3rd party app that are not working correctly when sending picture MMS. I have not seen a solution yet. It may be because our phones are so new and the third party apps have not caught up. I have emailed Handcent, my favourite text app and have not heard back yet.
So I don't know if this will solve your problem. It may be a learning experience.
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. I will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use. I stayed with default after trying other options. Again I think this is a third party problem.
Here are some screen shots of Tweakker

I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.

Anyone figure it out?

How to MMS animates gifs? Everytime I try and send one no matter what the size it tells me it's to big. Didn't have this problem with my iPhone 5 or my galaxy s4 but the note 3 just refuses to send them.

Do you need to MMS for that? I would just suggest using a cloud service like dropbox and giving the recipient the url link. Or you could do it through email. I have the same issue and I found no work around for it.
It's just more convenient to send it to them. Yes there are work sons but sometimes I just want to send a quick funny meme gif and I can't. It's just annoying.

I have no problem sending MMS.
I have no problem as well but I am on the latest Darthstalker rom. Only problem I ran across is I cant just copy the gif I have to save it on my device first then attach it and it will play.
