Picture messaging

Had my Mez about a month...and twice when someone tried to send me a picture in a text message it kicked me to the USCC web page to get my picture... and twice now that I've tried to send images (one a photo and one a screenshot)... the messages have failed to send! Am I not supposed to have picture messaging with this $70/mo. Primary Plus plan?!? Can phidelt or someone with USCC tell me what I need to do to make this work?

You're more than likely missing a code in your account, call uscc (611) and tell them whats happening and they can fix it. I had to do it when I went to my old blackberry.

I am of the same opinion as skitzo. It seems like you have a feature code missing in the switch. I can't speak to the pricing plans since that's not my department, but you can definitely find out with a quick call.

SO... I called tech support (call center in central OK) and spent the last hour trouble-shooting. We had to reactivate the phone on the switch and install some sort of update of tower data (rebooting several times in the process) and then yank the battery to hard boot and then finally it took.

Good stuff. It sucks that it took that long to get it fixed, but I'm glad it's working.

Me 2... Although I was kinda worried that they were going to push something to my phone and find out that I had voodoo on it...or worse yet, brick it.
BTW- the tech answered my Froyo Q with, "all Galaxy S phones will have it by the end of March, but it should be available for the Mesmerize by mid February."

Also, everything was enabled on my account...so it's not like I was just missing a code or whatever. They actually didn't say, but I think it came down to the switch or something in the system thinking I was still on my old z6m Rokr and perhaps sending something to my Mez trying to convince it likewise.

T-Mo / Voice mail issue

Ever since I first booted up the phone, I've had a voice mail notification that will not go away. I called and set up the voice mail, checked it, etc. Nothing will make it go away. Anyone else run into this issue?

Call from another phone and leave a vmail. Then check your vmail and delete it. The notification should go away.

Thanks for the tip! Will try.

Or there's an option to clear voicemail notification from Menu->Settings->Call->Clear Voicemail notification.

Yeah, this works but when you reboot your phone it comes back. I've had a constant voicemail notification with my last 4 phones (HD2,mt4g,G2X,S4g). The good thing about cm7 is that you can turn off your notifications.

Just had the same issue... leaving VM from another phone did the trick, thanks!
Maybe we have TMO to blame, not the sensation...
But im sure we wont be wrong if we blame both haha, theres always something bad to say about either one

Weird text messages

My wife started getting these weird text messages from an over seas number. No idea what it is but she replied one time to get rid of it. We ended up getting charged more than than normal and was told the only way to stop was to change phone nimbers. She now started to get them now. Whats weird is now out of the blue I stared to get them on my phone. Any ideas?

That's annoying. I get blank texts messages from this one number, and it started about 1.5-2 years ago. It happens randomly, and I even called the number back at one point explaining to the middle-aged lady that she was sending me blank texts. She was surprised and said she had no idea that it was happening. I have screenshots to prove it, *****.
Luckily, I don't get charged for her blank texts.

Maybe an app u have is pushing them try downliading air push finder and see what comes up

My wife is stock and I just put eclipse on. I have not installed any new apps that I did not have before. I woke up and there were 5 messages from a number.

doesn't Verizon let you block numbers if you go into a store and ask?

Last time we were there they were not very help full and said I had to change my number which I did. Now my wife is getting these and she cant change her number as she uses it for work. Guess I will call verizon again and complain or talk to a person with more knowledge. Hmm since Im not stock will they ask for information from the phone? Dont want to change back and re load if I dont have too.
Just called and they said they cant block and dont see anything but as long as we dont reply we wont get charged. Its just annoying. Weird though how she showed them to me yesterday and overnight I started getting them.
I am now finding some information on a verizon website and will try and see if it works.

Well neither of those options worked. Guess Im just stuck getting them and deleting them.

Why not just download a root text/call blocker? i have the same problem and this works just fine. I'd get some stupid message from a weird number saying "Want quick cash now! Reply "CASH" for quick cash now! If you would like to stop these text messages, respond "STOP"!"
Just dont type anything to these numbers and get an SMS blocker

You can block numbers if you go to the Verizon website and sign in into your account.

Must be doing it wrong or in the wrong place , the number that I keep getting is more than 10 numbers so it goes something like this
118012222357:OZMAIL
and then some other stuff.

Did you mention the Ozmail thing to Verizon? You're probably getting a message notification if I'm not mistaken. Verizon should be able to turn this off, just make sure you mention the Ozmail thing.
More info here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/668513/

Ozmail is the stock email app. Text 'stop' and it will stop. Every time an email comes in it is trying to go through the now nonexistent email app since you have an aosp email ask with your Rom flash.

Thanks for the replies , will check it out.

You can block numbers on Verizon's website but the block only lasts for 3 months which is pretty useless for this kind of thing.

I use Mr. Number from the market. So far so good. Blocks calls and texts. On the calls I have it set to pick up and hang up so they never get to my Voicemail. I think you can set a custom reply for texts as well.
The blocked numbers and texts never show up on my call log or text folder
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Those work but in my case the number was too long and not really a
phone number. When I replied to the text it stopped.

I have the similar situation,but I am getting a wired phone call is from unknown caller ID. When I pick up ,there is always someone mumbling,, when you stop saying he stops. But the carrier can do nothing with it, unless i have to change the number.

I thought I have read about programs from the market that can block calls.

Please explain to me...

Hey guys,
Could someone please explain to me why the HOX is so inferior to the iPhone 4S as far as sending and recieving pictures via mms and email. I very rarely am able to actually recieve pics sent by text, and I have to send pictures individually over email versus 2,3 or even 4 pics per email on the iPhone. Video's are totally out of the question on the HOX. This is really the only complaint I have with the HTC. Is thee anything i can do, or are we just screwed?

I send and receive images all the time with no issues. Perhaps you're misplacing blame?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

It's not that hard to add another contact in the "To" line in the Gmail app.
And are you using a different SMS app? Maybe it's AT&T, I only get EDGE on my HOX cause I'm on T-mobile.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

Yeah I've never had a problem with mms messages either, and I can also attach as many pictures to an email as I want. I think you've got something else going on because these definitely aren't HOX related issues.

He probably doesn't know how to use anything besides an iPhone, I just sent an email to 3 people without having to remake the same email.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

I don't use the stock mail app, but gmail allows me to attach plenty of pics. My brother has a 4s, even he can't send large vids via email, we use YouTube for that.
Are you stock or rooted or ....can you be more specific?

No problems here bro. Stock messaging app and gmail work fine too... So does k-9 mail..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Not receiving sms/mms probably has to do with the carrier and not the phone. I've never had any issues sending or receiving picture messages.
As far as sending multiple pictures per email, this isn't that hard either. Open gallery, press the share button and chose your method (example Gmail), then select the pictures you want to attach and hit next. Gmail will open with all the pictures attached and all you gotta do is enter email address (one or multiple).

Pretty easy to see how you got to 2,000+ posts. Do you ever add anything constructive?
Misplacing blame? What a bunch of over sensitive girls. I asked some simple questions and asked for advice. I have never been able to get a video to play from gmail on this phone. I am constantly having people ask me if I got the pictures they texted me. Several times today I tried to email 4 pictures at once. Every time it failed. Finally had to end them individually and they all went through. I'm on AT&T. Handcent SMS and the stock ICS email app.
Metalhead, you seem to be the only one mature enough to give a straight answer. What do you suggest I look at to fix these problems?

I have had the same problem with the mail app connected to exchange on wifi, it wouldn't let me send an email with pics. It might just be the stock rom causing issues.

Need some more information. Rooted? stock? rom? Handcent works fine for me, i'm rooted, can add multiple pics, it does resize them cos its an 8mp camera, i use the gmail mail app and can easily send to multiple recipients with multiple attachments. Dont use the ICS mail app, like gmail one better.

"Misplacing blame" was a fancy way of calling you an idiot. You didnt ask specific questions as much as you did complain and compare the one x to the iPhone.
Maybe if you weren't a retard, you'd be able to figure out how to use your device. Good luck, chief.

Oooook guys. Chill out .
OP, try a third party SMS/MMS application. Also, feel free to add more data as it may help everyone better understand your plight.

Coming from an iPhone, I definitely recommend the JB Messaging (formerly ICS Messaging) from the Google Play Store.
Pair this with SMS Popup and it is really great, especially compared to BiteSMS.

Ha don't confuse him with your fancy way of insulting him. :good:

OP, your scenario is strange. I haven't had either of the issues that you are experiencing since I've had my HOX. MMS messages send and receive just fine for me and I have no problem sending multiple pictures via the Gmail app.
In the past I have had these issues on other phones, but it was usually due to AT&T network issues. Have you tried holding the power button down for ten seconds? This is supposed to simulate a battery pull. Beyond that, maybe a master reset?

Thanks for the heads up! JB Messaging is awesome.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL on Rogers.

As far as the email issue, some more info would help. Is it gmail, exchange, hotmail, or what?
You have to remember that you're sending what can be large files, and you can end up with a size limitation there, which largely depends on your email provider and what they allow/tolerate.
As to the MMS issues, do try stock. 3rd party apps have been known to not always play nice on various devices, particularly brand new ones, and especially brand new ones running custom ROMs. So it could be that, or carrier issues, or the other party's carrier, etc.
Finally, before completely knocking the phone and pissing off people who a) like said phone and b) actually know a few things that can help, check the attitude and tone it down. Don't get pissed at the responses you get when you march in the door and, quite loudly, let your ignorance show.

Actually.... Some of the most insightful things I've heard have been from drunk people.
I haven't had the photo problem, the video issue was just that my files were too large, I toned down the quality and was fine.

Group messaging question

This is my first HTC device and the first time on Verizon, coming from the nexus line. So far, of course loving the build quality! So, so, so good! But my question is very simple and just an annoyance, maybe there's nothing to fix this. Group messaging works perfect, nothing wrong with it, its just every time I click on the conversation it says converting to MMS, I don't care that its doing that, but the message that pops up every time is starting to annoy me... Is there any fix for this? Couldn't find anything in the settings

Not the Verizon one, but stock one that comes with HTC. I'm use to hangouts cause coming from nexus and I didn't mind that at all. Reason I'm not using the Verizon messaging app is cause the rep at Verizon was messing with my phone while the number was being ported and basically setting it up for me cause he has an m8, said he was saving me a few headaches
