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.
Hey guys,
I'm with windmobile up in canada and my MMS has never worked even on stock rom. Today I was trying to work things out with the APN and whatnot when I noticed that in the messaging window I do not see the little camera that lets me send MMS.
Does any one have any idea how i can fix this issue? Are MMSes done differently on CM7 or is something missing on my install?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Jason.
Ok now i'm even more confused. I just installed go sms pro and the mms seems to work there. when i go back into the built in messenger program i can see the pictures that i had sent/received via go sms as normal mms. however i still don't see where i can send mms in the built in application. ideally i'd want to just use the integrated app.
thanks again guys.
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to the Nexus 5 and i'm loving it! when I try to group text over MMS with my friends, who all have iphones, they receive the text just fine over MMS and I can reply, view, all the normal stuff, but every text they get from me start with (no subject) in bold over the normal message. Anyone had this issue before?
anyone know how to fix it?
I have already tried a plethora of messaging apps and made sure my MMS settings are correct and can't seem to find any way to remove the (no message) from the messages.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Isn't that a iPhone issue then? Group messaging does use MMS and you can send with or without a subject but boldly displaying that there is no subject should be an issue on their end. I get group messages and it never shows "no subject"
Are you using Hangouts or another custom MMS/SMS app? If using custom, try looking for any settings that would say to include subject line with text. If running Hangouts, I checked and there is no setting to include a subject in Group MMS or anything related to it, so the issue resides as mentioned with the iPhone user.
Try enabling data when you receive an MMS.

Hi all..
I'm just kind of taking a shot in the dark here but I've been having an odd problem that has very specific conditions, so here goes..
I am on Aio wireless using a Samsung i9500 with Kitkat. Most of my family are all on StraightTalk wireless.
The problem I have is that my 2 favorite SMS apps seem to somehow have issues getting StraightTalk to download MMS messages I send.
My family members using StraightTalk are able to send MMS messages to me regardless of which texting app they or I use, however, they do not receive my MMS messages if I use the app Textra, or HoverChat to send the MMS. I do not get a failure to send message, the recipients phone just acts as if I have not sent them anything. The thing is, these same 2 apps can send MMS to Verizon customers perfectly fine (I have tested with 2 friends). I know it has to be a problem with these apps as the very same recipients DO get my MMS from the following other apps:
GoSMS
Handcent
Chomp
EvolveSMS
Hello SMS
Sliding SMS
and the default messaging app that came on my phone.
My problem is this.. I have emailed the developers of both apps and tried to explain this but they can't seem to see that there is a problem. (the Textra app dev got me to send a log and the log showed my MMS successfully sending to Aio's MMSC) What I am wondering is, is there anyone else that has Aio wireless and knows someone using StraightTalk that can see if the same issue happens to you? Or does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and how I can better explain to the developers of these 2 apps so that they may be able to find and fix the issue? I have no idea why StraightTalk would reject an MMS ONLY from a specific app and carrier combination but it is absolutely maddening.
Could these 2 apps be appending some sort of tag or invalid data on the MMS that causes StraightTalk to ignore it and never send the download request to the recipient?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.
My issue is that when someone sends me an MMS with a photo, the resolution is reduced to a fraction of what it was. However, I can send images via MMS at full resolution.
As an experiment, I sent my wife (who has an unrooted Galaxy S5) a 940KB screenshot. I had her send it back to me and when I got it, it was at 27KB. I had her email me that same image and it was unaltered at 940KB. We are both with Verizon on the same account. I use an old version of GoSMS. I have the MMS limit set to 5MB. The stock messaging app which is still active has a MMS max of 300KB but I'm getting less than 10% of that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
.
I kinda gave up trying to resolve this due to lack of success with finding answers, either in my own searches or from more experienced users. But, it's still an issue that has come up once again.
Please... anyone?
