I can send MMS just fine, but I cannot receive them from other networks. Upsetting.

im having these issues to but mine has not been rooted. I can receive pictures all day long fine, i just cant send them with any reliability. Restarting when it says "sending" doesnt work to force it send for me. I was in a 3g town yesterday and didnt have much problem sending pics, back in home town today on EDGE and having issues yet again.
Anyone got any thoughts?

I have had the same issue. I was even unable to send a picture through gmail as an attachment yesterday while in a 3g area. today i can send one through my corporate e-mail but still no mms. I have rooted and removed the att junk with ti backup. I dont think i removed anything that would effect mms though. I have also tried a factory reset. It deleted all my apps and settings but i did not have to reroot. It also did not return any of the att programs. Any help with this issue would be great.

had the same issue...could not send PIcs at ALL. took it back, got a replacement and it sent one fine.... then i tried again and didnt work. WTF?

I am an att manager and I have a captivate and have sold tons of others. I spoke with galaxy s support last week and they are going to call me back Monday to let me know if they have a fix yet. The tech said that he got it to work 2 out 10 times trying mms. As soon as i hear the fix i will post for all.

Good to hear we have an insider on board
I seem to be on the same boat, however:
Can't send pictures to my dad (AT&T, iphone)
Or my mom (ACS; local Alaska carrier)
But send em' just fine to my girlfriend(AT&T via LongLines Cellular towers)
Boy does that make sense

I had the same issue with sending MMS but was able to figure out a work around. It appears it is something related to the message size. If I crop an image, and the message size stays under 80kb, it will send with no issues. Not sure what the magic number is where it stops sending but will post once I figure it out.

Non-rooted Captivate, had a similar problem receiving MMS for the first week (purchased July 18th). Specifically, I could not receive MMS from Verizon customers unless they were using a Blackberry. Verizon customers using LG and Samsung phones, I got nothing. Verizon customers using a Blackberry, MMS would come through to me fine. SMS worked fine to and from all carriers and I could send MMS to friends on all carriers (and they would receive them properly, regardless of their device).
Tested with 3 different Verizon customers in 2 parts of the U.S. (cross-country), with Samsung Intensity and LG Envy phones on their end ... none of them could send me MMS. My screen would wake up as if something were coming in ... but nothing would ever come through. Very frustrating. Went to an AT&T store, duplicated the tests on their demo unit with the store manager's SIM installed.
The Fix (for my issue, YMMV):
AT&T's billing system was correctly showing my device as a Samsung Captivate, but their network provisioning system was showing the device field as blank (which apparently defaults the behavior to "non-smartphone," for what it's worth). The tech submitted a ticket to correct that, as apparently everything had to be in order before the network folks would take a look at the problem. Turned out that simply correcting that field fixed my MMS issue (since it registered my phone in the "smartphone" category). Note that I was told that correcting that field usually takes them 5-7 days, since it's not considered critical, but she pushed it through more quickly.
Customer Support
I have to include this bit here, because the customer support I received was amazing and far beyond what I expected. I understand that I may have had better luck than most. Got to a higher level tech with no fuss, and she immediately took ownership and had excellent communication, emailing me and following up with multiple phone calls to keep me in the loop with what she was doing. I've been thinking about switching carriers, but AT&T finally releasing the Captivate (even with the GPS issue, etc.), coupled with this tech's absolutely superb customer-focused support, will keep me here for awhile longer (and I'm definitely going to send her a glowing email saying just that, which I hope she forwards to her supervisor).

All my MMS works but 1 just showed up as a play symbol. It was a wide picture.

twitter tab not working

hey yall i was wonderin if it was just me i am running the july ver of the tael rom and i had noticed that the other day the tiwtter tab quit working in fact it had said that "access to the server from this account was forbidden" so @ first i was thinking it got hacked but everyelse works just not the tab has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve the issue?

Same problem here.... Any fix for it?

i read in several places a few days ago that this is due to some changes they did in their API. it will also be like this for sometime.

yeah, Twitter changed the way apps react with their service, and unfortunately, HTC Peep no longer works. Which sucks. The prob happened the exact same day i finally got my HTC Fuze
~Des

Same is Happening for me, i was wondering why i wasn't getting any updates

HTC SAYS the problem's resolved on their Twitter feed, but I'm still getting UN/PASS errors.

the upside
Look on the bright side: now you can say "twitter doesn't work on my phone, sorry" instead of "twitter is so superficial as to break the entire purpose of human communication and therefore I won't use it, you twit." Your hipster friends will be bummed, but now you don't have to pretend you care to read their inane midday thoughts!

i had noticed that TWITTER WORKS TODAY!!!! WHOOO HOOO I CAN GET MY NEWS FEEDZ ^_^ SOOO HAPPYYY!!!.......ahem.....sorry...

Receiving Duplicate Text Messages

I know this is probably something that can't be fixed without working with T-Mobile, but they can't seem to figure out what the problem is and I'm getting desperate
Whenever someone sends me a text I get duplicates of it over and over until I turn on WiFi calling, which seems to work fine. I have had this problem with two different G2x (I sent the first one back thinking it was a hardware issue). This also does not happen on my Nexus One (I moved the SIM card back over and the issue disappears).
I am thinking it has to be something to do with the communication between the G2x and my T-Mobile cell network. Any information anyone has about this that could help me help T-Mobile find the issue would be great.
Thanks.

You don't have another messaging app installed, do you?

First thing I did when I got the replacement was sync Google contacts and tell someone to text me and it started happening. I factory reset the original one I had 3 times and the problem persisted.

Are you running juicedefender? I get duplicates of some messages because juicedefender shuts off mobile data, so the network doesn't receive the notification that the MMS was received. It will try and resend every 5 minutes for a specified number of times until the message is received.

Nope, had no apps installed. Plus I get the duplicates sometimes less than 1 minute apart.
Thanks for the responses so far. This problem is really starting to get irritating.

I was getting a lot of duplicates. Seems to have spied for now. No clue what was doing it

Its really irritating because I love the phone, but I can't use it if I am constantly getting spammed by duplicate text messages.

yea i got 55 texts from 12 am to 11 a m from the same person 2 different texts and it kept going for a couple hours after too idk why i just got a new one today though but it's got a bad bleed so im just returning it and going to wait a week or two hope they solve it by then already sent lg a pic so

If your problems anything like mine a replacement won't fix the problem, unless I somehow got stupendously unlucky.

Anyone figure this out. I have the same problem. It is not every text message and not every person. It is pretty random. The same person can send me 4 texts 2 are normal, one repeated twice and one 24 times over a period of time, usually a couple hours.

Check any of the apps/widgets that have anything to do with calls/texts, even just showing a number of unread texts. If there are any that have the permission "Your Messages: Send SMS-received broadcast" uninstall it and see if the problem persists. I think I may have had an app called Organizer Widget that was blocking my phone from sending that broadcast.

I had your problem.
I was running on stock G2X, and I was receiving text after text after text.
I spent time on the phone with the T-Mo reps, and he concluded that:
"it's a server problem. You see, our messaging database isn't reading that your phone got the text, and thus it re-sends it in hopes that it receives it."
Basically, he is saying that the messaging server is tripping. But, this is not exactly true, because if it was the messaging server, then it would be universal. It is simply a G2X stock-rom problem.
I think it actually might have something to do with the baseband, but I am not sure if CyanogenMod updates it or fixes it when flashing.
I have a fix.
After I flashed myself some CyanogenMod, the problem was instantly fixed.
So, I think its a problem with the stock rom. Definitely. The CM rom works perfectly, no repeating messages. Also, the current nightlies are mighty stable.

I have this issue as well. It doesn't happen often but when it does it sends 10 or more duplicates.
I have handcrafted sms and launcher products which displays the number of texts on the dock. Running rooted stock.
It hasn't happened in a while, so I doubt it is related to the Apps.

I've had this issue on ALLLL my android phones I've owned . Even non Android phones and my unlocked iPhone. I have tried different similar cards as well.
I have noticed it happens the most when I receive messages from a Verizon user; followed by AT&T users. I never (not that I've noticed) had duplicates from Sprint or other T-Mobile users. Only Verizon and AT&T.
My point being I think it's a T-Mobile issue. Or a communication issue between providers.

I'm actually having this problem running CM7 Nightly 63, it's irritating as hell.

Dont know, but I'd like to know the problem too. I have chompsms installed but it shows duplicate in the stock messaging app too.

I really don't think it has anything to do with the phone...
Like I said earlier, all my phones have done it. Even my crappy clamshell Samsung back in the day. Or my unlocked iPhone.
Server makes the best sense.

I have the issue as well...although it seems to be only with certain contacts, however across every carrier. Averages 3-4 duplicates. Never had this problem before with any phone. SIM card went straight from my N1 to my G2X. Kind of an old SIM. Maybe I'll try a re-provision on a new SIM to see if that makes any difference.

Thank you @shaneledford, uninstalling organizer widget solved my problem... everything's back to normal

I've also had this problem with previous phones, though it tends to happen much more often when one of them is an Android phone. Only started happening with my phone before this one, though, but that was a Nokia non Android, so it's a fairly recent thing but not Android specific.

Nexus S NFC activation error (An error occurred)

I am experiencing a very annoying problem with my Samsung Google Nexus S GT-i9023 (pearl white). Everything works fine except the NFC chip.
Every time, I try to turn on the NFC chip in the wireless menu, immediately the message "An error occurred" appears. So the NFC chip won`t turn on at all. No reboot, stock recovery (wipe internal storage etc.) could solve the issue.
Background information:
My Nexus S is 3 days old. It came out of the box with Android 2.3.3. I updated immediately after the first boot to 2.3.4 via OTA! I didn't check it with 2.3.3. Around the net are a lot of people experiencing the same(!) problem. No matter if it is a i9020 or a i9023. Also some people say, that it worked before with 2.3.3 and after updating to 2.3.4 NFC stopped working. I not able to verify this information.
Well meanwhile my Nexus S is at Samsung Germany service partner, called Bitronic Service Line. The guys called me some days ago, to inform me, that they don't know how to fix it. The placed an issue at Samsung Germany itself, so Bitronic is awaiting now reply from Samsung.
My question to xda-developers forum users:
Are you invovled in such a problem? Do you know a working fix? Probably sb. heard something about a defective production lot or maybe about udapting problems via OTA?
By the way, for more information, my and other Nexus S users story, can be read in the android forum. Just search via google for "Nexus S NFC error". It is issue nb. 13581. Sry but since I have only a few posts, the board rules does not allow me to post external links. Sry for that.
Attached a screenshot of the error msg.
Thx for information or any help.
Regards.

Same problem here. Sent my nexus s i9023 also to bitronic germany a week ago. Still waiting for a reply.
I tried alot ROM's (cyanogen, MIUI, nscolab etc.) and kernel's. Nothing helped. So I think this is a hardware problem.

According to a callback of Bitronic (Samsung Germany's contractual Service Partner), my problem could be identified as an hardware bug. They told me, that they replaced a specific part. Which exactly, I don't know.
I´ll get my phone back in around 2-3 days. Then I will post an final statement.

just got my nexus s back. everything is working properly again, so it was definitely a hw bug. From my side the problem is solved.
If someone is experiencing further problems with de- and activating the NFC chip, keep going on with reporting here.

Cool story bro.
Just kidding. Sending it out and getting it back in 2 days is pretty great turnaround. Sounds like quality service. Glad it got sorted.

Got my SNS back today. NFC is now working. Seems so that samsung has found the bug.

If your having problems...try this!!!

I have owned the sensation for 3 weeks and have had random problems that most have reported. Screen responsiveness, occassional connection problems, lag, unable to spin the carousel, and other little issues. I exchanged my first Sensation and now having the same issues with this one.
I was doing some thinking and after reading a zillion forums decided to try something. I downloaded the stock rom (ruu file) and reinstalled the rom file. I did not enter my google info during set-up. I went into privacy settings and unchecked back-up and restore options. I then entered my google account only.
So far my phone is running MUCH BETTER and VERY responsive. I can carousel EASILY!!!! It's like a new phone. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!
I have not added any apps OR any other type of social networking stuff. And I also shut-off that Tmobile contact sync.
Might be worth a shot for some of you.....
I will update this thread and let all of you know how its working.....

I told people about this when I first git the phone but everyone was like....."how would that effect anything". It does because I've done this on 4 different Sensations and all of them ran slower after it loaded all of my settings automatically. On each of them, I disabled the restore settings feature and imputed my Google info after disabling this and every phone was more responsive. I don't understand why but I'm glad someone else noticed it.

I think that most of the problems that people are reporting with the Sensation are software problems. It seems as the phones get faster they also get much more complicated and in my opinion, the manufactures are pushing out phones before the software has been fully tested and evaluated IN THE REAL WORLD!!!
They seem to lose sight that quality is MORE important then a deadline. If you can't do it right...don't do it!!!!
But instead they hype us up with slick marketing and make us go crazy buying their phones that are not ready to be released. Then we exchange/return until the buyers remorse period has passed and then we are stuck with a device that does not live up to the nearly $600 that we paid. Yes WE ALL PAY FOR IT.....if you think that you paid $148 for your Sensation,,,, please look at your MONTHLY bill.
It's not just HTC or Tmobile. It's Apple, MS, LG, ATT, Verizon, etc.....
Im very confident that the Sensation will eventually work as designed and marketed....I just hate that I'm a sucker!!!! I'm an early adopter and this is the price I pay because I have no patience!!!
Now that I ranted...try the rom reinstall so far my phone works flawlessly. As I have said before...its like I have a new phone....the Sensation 2....

Interesting.
I didn't think about turning those off.
Tried it...seems to improve things a bit.
Good thing you didn't title your thread..."I Think I *May* Have Discovered Something".

I've re-installed with the ruu multiple times and it didnt fix anything, no improvement. I've had 4 sensations, first 3 had the touchscreen issue, the 4th i'm only 2 days in and it hasn't messed up yet, its about time though. There are a hundred different things people have done to temporarily fix their problems, most aren't reproducible. Thats what is so strange about this phone. I've had the touchscreen become responsive like new a few times, just like others, and we are always trying to figure out what we did to make it work. I think its a coincidence when it starts working, thats why there are sooo many different posted solutions.. (only talking about touchscreen issues here)

hmmmm.....How did you re-install? via PC or from SD card?

Hmmm.... Why get a smartphone then?
Hope it works for you mate, but I can bet that touch screen issue will be back.

Im trying to see if any of the problems would return while the phone was completely stock. I kept it app free for 24 hours and it has worked great...no problems.
I just added a bunch of apps late last night and so far it has continued to run great. I will keep testing and adding more until I get back to the way I normally use my phone.
So far...i can spin the carousel very easily, screen is still responsive, no connection issues as of yet, and my battery has lasted over 24 hours and it still has over 50% of its charge!!
No social networking yet...I usually have Facebook, Twitter, and recently google+. I'm saving those for last since I suspect those might be some of the problem.
I did add all of my email accounts and my exchange account. So far it's still great!

When you say reinstall do you mean do a factory reset?

I downloaded the stock Rom and flashed via my pc. Took about 5 or 10th minutes. So far it has worked for me. It's been 48 hours and I have not had a return of any of the problems I had before.

Yes, i used this RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed from my computer. I've also done factory reset from recovery as well as from Settings, SD & Phone storage--Factor data reset. All appear to look like the exact same state as when new, just unboxed. I would think that if it was a software issue that one of those methods would fix it everytime, since it worked wonderfully when new in that same configuration.
But when you look at it another way ..If it was Hardware, why wouldnt it do it as soon as you turn it on, brand new? Why does it take a few days? So far this 4th phone has ran longer than the others, no problems yet. It's loaded with tons of software and no bloat removal and its still the fastest phone ive ever used. Damn i hope it stays that way...

This is my last attempt to fix these issues. All three phones, my two and my wifes sensation, all have the death grip issue. And that alone is a very big design flaw. I can kill WiFi with just place my finger along the back top edge of the phone. It really becomes a problem watching videos. As soon as hold the phone on the WiFi antenna side, WiFi drops.
Thinking of returning and getting the mytouch 4g slide. Basically same specs just smaller screen.
