MMS Question; Newb Question - General Questions and Answers

I never send MMS and I actually find them annoying when I receive them and have always ignored them. However, recently my best friend had a baby (Im the godfather) so he has been sending me photos and videos through MMS.
Here is my issue with At&t. It appears every time he sends a MMS I have to go to some website, enter a msg ID, and finally a password. The most annoying thing is that I can hardly ever see the photo without pressing refresh and videos do not work!!!
What the hell am I doing wrong and why is it so damn annoying. I would like to just simply open his message and see the video why does it have to be so damn difficult. I am sure there is a solution whether it is paid or free. Will someone please. I searched MMS, MMS issues, MMS password and I receive a lot of information regarding Arcsoft, which basically allows you to compose MMS, I think?

bump, nobody knows a way around this? weird

You can normally tell At&T how you want to get your MMS. Go to a phone shop and ask them to change it.

cant send pix messages vzw?

when ever i try to send a picture over MMS it says Originator Address Not Found. Ive tried sending it to a contact, to an email address, and to another cellphone, None have worked i always get the same message =[ What is wrong? And i can recieve picture messages, just not send them.
You might have better luck posting your issue in the CDMA forums since most of the VZW and sprint users are located there. this forum is mainly for us GSM guys.
As far as your current problem I would just walk into the VZW store and have them take a look at it. the feature might not be enabled on your account.

Can't receive Pic Messages on FUZE w/ T-mobile

I have a Fuze that's been unlocked to work for t-mobile. I've been getting help from you guys/gals on here (thanks a lot), but I need a few more tips.
1. I can't seem to RECEIVE picture messages from people (also, I think that I'm getting in my "inbox" any message that I sent outgoing??). Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is it a ROM issue? any other software that I can use to change/update my text messaging management?
2. I don't know if I have a regular or cooked ROM, and I don't know what version I have, do you know where to find this info out?
I'm not very technical, but I'm trying to learn.. please explain very plainly if you can...
Thanks.
I am on tmobile also with an unlocked fuze and get picture messages just fine. Can you explain more as to what is happening? do you get regular text messages? and is it only picture messages that you dont receive can you receive voice text messages?
[on a side note] I'm not sure what has been done to my phone since I bought it used. it looks as thought the att bloaware has been uninstalled, and I also have a Tab in setting that says "xbmod manilla fro xda dev, TouchFLO 3D 2.0 3737395.3" whether or not that might affect anything. [end side note]
I DO get text messages, and I've never been sent a voice text (I'll have to test this). the weird thing about my messages is that they show up on the main TF3d screen, however they don't seem to be anywhere in the folders
When I tried to test getting an MMS message with a pic added, I had my sister send me 2 messages. one with only text (just saying "hi") and another with only a photo added. They both show up on my main MESSAGES TF3d tab, and the MMS message says "Click to view MMS", however when I click on the message it takes me to menue with my conversations with my sister and there is NO SIGN of the MMS message, only the one that says "hi".
Thanks for the response.. I really want to figure this out.
BUMP
Somebody please help me fix this problem I have ROM At0mAng V5.4, and I just need to configure/setup my phone to work on t-mobile. If you know how to do this or have any idea please help

[Q] Is there a way to make/add your own smilies?

Like let's say I wanna use those rage faces as smilies, is there a way to make them part of my smiley list or do I always have to attach them as an image?
Captivate seems to have a problem with MMS and never sends/receives multimedia messages...
Any help appreciated
Well you could change them.
BUT: You are the only one that will see them that way. If you want the person you are sending the message to see them you will have to sent them as an mms.
You could check the website of your mobile provider and see if your apn settings are set up correctly

mms problem

i did a search and didn't see anyone with the same problem. i was able to receive pics from other people, but i when i try to send it to them, they don't receive it. my phone shown sent but they don't even get a text at all. i can however send pic text to myself and receive it. this was from using the stock app.
i then switched to handcent sms and uninstalled the regular text app. i can't receive pic or send pic to them. i can't even receive the pic text i sent to myself. is there some kind of setting i'm suppose to set it to?
Under settings->send->maximum size, make sure it's set to default 1M. My was set to 5M for some reason and mms never worked right (oversized).
tried that, still doesn't work with sending pic text or receiving.

Hmm.. I can't seem to find this setting..?
I just realized I can receive mms but not send.
I currently use Handsent SMS and prefer it over the stock texting app. However I did not remove that. You SHOULD keep it, then set Handcent as your default and get rid of all notifications on the settings of your default text program.
I have a similar issue with you only i removed the stock calander and now my 3rd party calander app wont work
sending video to iPhone problem
I searched, but didn't come upon a thread about MMS video problems, but this was the closest thread in nature...
anyone having problems sending video MMS to specifically iPhones? I am able to send to MMS vids to other phones (other Android phones), but when I send a video to an iPhone, they receive it but the sound is garbled when played. Same results happen with both the stock messaging app and Handcent.
(MMS pictures work fine though)
In the video settings of the camera, I have the "Duration" set to 'MMS' and then I've even tried both "Video Sizes"...QVGA and QCIF. All the test video messages I sent to my wife's iPhone have been about 100-150Kb in size. When she receives the video, it plays but the sound is garbled and can't distinguish anything being said.
Any help would be appreciated since my wife likes to receive clips of our baby son while she's at work etc.
using stock non-rooted G2x.
random, but know a guy that works for LG in the mobile department. I asked him about a software update and he replied with the following:
"Yes, there is a software update coming. It should have been out 2 weeks ago, but at the time T-Mobile was thinking of just lumping it in with the Gingerbread update. Now that the Gingerbread update is being moved back to early June (last minute bugs need worked out), we convinced them to let us push the update so at least the users who are experiencing powercycling, freezing, and wifi sleeping will be taken care of."
Compress the pics to 100kb or less and they should go through! Use handcent mms and it compresses them for you.

I hope that is true, that update being held is doing nothing except making G2x owners look for other smartphones, not to mention potential G2x owners reading all these bad reviews around the forums won't even consider buying a G2x.
So I really don't understand why they would delay the patch when they know it's more than likely going to hurt the sales of the phone.
These companies seem to always make really dumb choices.
Happy customers equal BIGGER profits in the long run, that should be the main goal IMHO.

u said u deleted reg message app? that mite be y u cant recieve anything now
has the phone been flashed a custom rom?
if so go into messages > settings> and switch the mms client
so nobody else has any problems sending videos to iPhones? pictures and regular texts go through fine, it's only the audio of the video part that is all garbled and messed up. my G2x is a stock non-rooted phone with the stock messaging app. (i've tried handcent and Go SMS and the vids still don't go through correctly to iPhones).
as for the patch, i asked him when LG is planning to release it...he made it seem like it should be soon.
I had this problem until I downloaded Go sms and changed my mms size to 5M and then set my user agent to Default Android.

Group messaging doesn't work correctly/Can't download MMS

Hi guys....I have a HTC One M8 which is unrooted and running Lollipop which is great for the most part but I can't figure out how to set up group messaging and more recently it won't download any MMS I recieve.
I wanted to try and change the settings for group messaging in ChompSMS but can't figure it out. Right now, when I'm part of a group text, each message shows as a single text from the person that sent it, and when I reply it only goes to that person, not the group. I have tried changing some of the settings but nothing seems to work. I am sure this is an easy fix and feel kinda dumb for not being able to figure it out. I tried my other sms apps as well to see if it was a chomp problem and it's the same for all 3.
When I was trying to figure out the group messaging problem on my own I apparently changed something in the settings because now whenever I recieve a MMS I get a message saying "Can't download MMS - Check your APN settings". Again I have tried messing around in Chomps settings and haven't gotten it working. Also again this goes for Textra and the stock app as well. Please help!
So....nothing?
Is this just a really stupid question or what? I don't know why no one responds to my posts. I've posted about it in 2 other forums as well and no responses anywhere. I have searched this problem as well and found other people asking similar question and haven't found any helfpul responses. I can't imagine no one knows how to fix the problem...someone help! Please!
