I'm rockin a note 2 and I recently bought my gf a S4. She was able to receive pictures until about a week or so ago from me. Now it keep saying failed for her. She's away on a business trip for a few weeks so I can't actually see the phone myself. She did say she her Gmail account got disabled for some reason and she hasn't been able to send emails. Don't know if it's related. Any ideas?

To get mms messages you must have data enabled, and be in an area with data available. Maybe she's in an area that's not a strong signal.
When I first got my phone sending/receiving mms was iffy. It would "failed"on sending. Receiving I would only get there header and it would say downloading but fail or the picture would come in hours later. I went into the apn settings and did a "reset to default" even though the settings were already correct. Seems to have solved it for me.
Also like already mentioned, could just be the area or network issues.

Hi, I'm running a rooted AT&T GS3 with KyanROM 1.5. I'm able to send MMS messages to people with no problem, but I can't receive MMS messages. I don't even receive anything on my phone telling me I have a MMS message. I'm pretty sure the message is sent though because, after my friend sent me a MMS, when I restart my phone on the bottom I receive a message saying "Currently unable to download. Please try again later" I have auto-retrieve messages enabled and I have mobile data enabled. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I tried installing GO SMS and restarting my phone, but I had the same problem.

U need to make sure original messaging app is still on the phone and not disabled. Even if u use ha cent or another third party. I have found that to b only way to get hand cent to work with mms.
U can still disable notifications on messaging app and mark button on hand cent making it default.
Good luck.

Hey guys, i bought the international Note 2 and i'm using it on AT&T about 2 days after getting the phone i stopped getting SMS, I can send them but i cannot receive them. I swapped a sim in the AT&T store and it worked. 3 days later same problem and now getting a new sim didn't help. I can receive MMS and send MMS or SMS, I just cant receive regular SMS messages. Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be? Thank you in advance.
If you use different languages, make sure you set the coding of SMS to Unicode in the settings menu of SMS.
Other than that, check if you have this message center number: +13123149810
If still not working, someone else needs to chime in
Check your APN settings, settings->more setting -> Mobile Networks->Access Point Names.
Make sure these are setup correctly I wouldn't just rely on the phone gathering these automatically.
Are you on the stock ROM or have you flashed a custome ROM?
If you have flashed a custom ROM I would suggest doing a full wipe and re-test.
If that doesn't work I'll look at getting a new phone.
Hey man dont worry about that. My friend has a galaxy s3 international and had the same problem. It has nothing to do with setting or differents roms. It att issues. What he did was call att, after a couple of days the phone began to receive sms then again tue same problem. He called again and i am not sure what they did but after 24 hours the problem was solved. So just call them and see man.
Good luck

So does anyone have any insight on this topic or a solution? I have done a factory reset twice and even called At&T with no resolution. My phone was working great till a few days ago.

I have an international Note 2, also on AT&T. Post your APN settings and I'll compare it with mine to see what is the difference.
I'm having the exact same issue again. First time, I did a hard reset, and it resolved the issue. I don't feel like doing that again, so i'm on the phone with AT&T right now and we'll see what they say.
so... AT&T cannot determine why this is happening. I took my sim card out of my phone and put it in another AT&T branded phone (the GN2 is my work phone), and once I did, all text messages I missed came into my phone. I swapped the Sim cards back, and now it works as intended, and I'm receiving text messages again. The tech is calling Samsung now to see if they can offer any assistance.
Seems like whatever the issue is was resolved when I swapped phones. I figure it'll work for a week or so, as it did last time, and then will stop and I'll have to swap Sims again to perform a quick fix.
any Telecommunication guru's out there have any idea?
I'm having some issues with mms messages on my phone. I have searched on google and the forums. I haven't found anything to help me yet. My mms messaging was working fine I sent and received several messages the day before. I installed gosms pro and used it for a day and a few people sent me some mms messages. The messages werent downloading. I would keep clicking on the download button but a few minutes later it would say it failed and show the download button again. I uninstalled gosms and I still cannot download mms messages even in the stock messages app. At first I thought it was the network, but i put my sim card in my old iphone and it was receiving picture messages without issue. I have tried everything i could think of short of reflashing because I don't want to have to spend hours setting up all of my apps and settings again. I don't know if I am missing something. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance for any help.
My carrier forces me to send and receive mms over 3G. I am unable to send or receive using Wifi. Do you have 3G truned on and network coverage? If not try that. Also check the Access Point Names (apn) are the same on both phones.
Check in the apps settings as there are sometimes filter settings (max size etc.) that can be changed. From personal experience AtAT limits the size and theres no way around it.

I have signal. I can make calls just fine and browse the internet without problem. It is only when sending mms messages. That is why I am confused. I set the apn settings back to default then checked those entries against what others were saying here and they are all correct. I even went and cleared the app data of the messaging app to reset all of its settings.
New development. Now I can't send sms messages. I just tried this morning to send a few text messages and it just keeps saying that the message failed to send. I have no idea if im not receiving incoming messages now, but I haven't gotten any since yesterday afternoon. What could possibly cause all incoming and outgoing messages to stop working? i don't get it.

Just wondering if anyone is having issues with SMS split on the stock ROM? Mine is incredibly inconsistent, and sometimes will send only the first part of the text and sometimes only the last part of the text. I haven't been able to figure out a pattern, and I'm always under Sprint coverage. I have no problem receiving multi-part texts, but it seems outgoing texts don't send either one part or another (not sure about 3 part texts at all). Messages are being sent to my girlfriend who is on my plan and also in Sprint coverage. I've tried with the option to combine messages selected and unselected. Any insights/similar experiences?

Do you have it set to send it as a MMS after 3 pages?
Hey all,
I discovered a strange bug that I'd appreciate if anyone could shed light on.
I have rooted my note 2 using the toolkit, and left it on the stock rom.
I havn't noticed before rooting, but now whenever I send a text containing the @ symbol, like an email, the @ symbol is gone from the receiving device. So
Code:
[email protected]
becomes
Code:
email email.com
. Also texts that I receive are missing the @ symbol. Though I noticed they show up in my Google Voice app that I have integrated with my Sprint number.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Wow yup does that here also
