When I receive picture message i only receives a link on Go sms.
It only happened once so far but when I sent a picture from my friends x10 to my x10 using go sms, the pictured showed up on my phone was the wrong one.
For example, I sent a picture of an apple to my phone but the picture that showed up on my phone is a dog.
Does anybody know of this happening? I mean GO sms sending the wrong link to the picture that I received?
Thanks
Is the dog yours?
What I mean is, was the wrong picture another one of YOUR pictures, or not?
If not, it's probably a mistake on their server's part.

Thanks Immortal, no. The dog is not mine and the dog should not be there either, just apple.

Ah, I see.
So, here's how Go MMS service works:
you upload a picture on the GO server and then the server generates a link
(much like when you upload a picture on any other picture sharing site).
So, what happened to you is that the server returned the wrong link.
In general, be very careful of what you upload using Go MMS,
there is little guarantee that your data are being protected
and since you reported such a mix-up, all the more reason to be extra careful.
Thanks immortal, Your probability right about the mix up. It is no big deal but hopefully it will not happen again.

a friend of mine has been trying to send me a video of her daughter, first i found out that att has a low mms limit cap, so in order to get her to receive video from me, i had to make sure it was under 300kb(what a joke)
anyways she tells me that her phone is unable to send mms video,
after some digging i found this to be true.
why did MS leave such a key feature out of this OS?
is it something a update with fix like apple did with the iphone?
she has the samsung.
sorry, im out of my comfort zone here, im a android guy with a rooted evo.
thanks everyone for the help, and hello from android land!
afraid this is true... hopefully MS fixes it up soon. it's a bit retarded.
Erm......email it? Surprised anyone still uses MMS.
the downfall at present is that videos are trapped on the phone and only transferable via Zune. Pictures are fine, they can be sent across email/mms. it's just video.
Now then, I am a self declared WP7 "fanboy" but even I must admit, this needs fixing!
I can't say I have ever MMSed a video to anyone before....I'm not saying others don't have a burning need to, but is it really that urgent?

Well, sometimes there is a need to share a video you took of your two year old playing at a park with your close ones, sometimes it happens when there is no computer around for a few days (vacation for instance). If you are willing to wait till you get to your PC it is one thing, but sometimes you want to do it right that second.
and those goofy video FWDs as well...
ive always mms'd with ppl, could believe it when i found out this big deal smart phone left that feature out....

Can't do that either from the phone. The only way to share a video from a WP is to get it onto a PC first.

WOW! So old school you'd suggest emailing a vid rather than mms it! Sounds like my grandparents, lol. But seriously most people in the 21st century would like to have this option. It's a glaring problem for this OS.
I'm currently out of state for work, my kids wanted to send me a vid of them being funny. They have no computer with them & are staying with my parents, who have no internet or computer, lol. Guess what? They couldn't send it via mms! They & I were dissappointed that I couldn't see this video of my daughters.
That is when it can be a GLARING problem for people who enjoy this convenience. I love WP7, but it's obvious they were in a rush to get this OS out to save some jobs & keep investors happy. This is an embarassing hole left in this OS, that needs fixed ASAP.
Not sure what the big deal is. When the iPhone first came out it didn't even have mms picture messaging while every phone on the market had it and no one made a fuss about it. I've never sent anyone video messages and I don't know anyone who did either.

Stop living in the past, the iPhone came out four years ago. Not being able to share videos from your phone, today, is ridiculous. While I haven't MMSed videos myself I have often shared them on YouTube or via email - this isn't even available on WP7. Also, just because you don't use it doesn't mean noone else does.
I'm sorry but when the iPhone came out EVERY OTHER phone on the market could do MMS, however we didn't hear people say that it was ridiculous that the iPhone couldn't do MMS when everyone else could.

Actually, everyone bar the Apple fanbois thought it was ridiculous. Just like everyone bar Microsoft-ites now thinks it's ridiculous that WP7 can't.
If Video MMS was not the de-facto standard today noone would care if WP7 had the ability or not. Fact is, all cameraphones today offer this feature, therefore it comes as a complete shock to the average consumer that their brand new WP7 device does not.
Of course, more and more people don't MMS these days when everyone has a smartphone with YouTube apps and email. Problem is, WP7 doesn't even allow you to share your video on YT or via email unless you first sync it to a computer.

Please do not use "we" since obviously you weren't watching the comments and blog post roll in about how ridiculous of an omission it is.
The fact that video mms is not present is infuriating. I USED to do video mms with my wife all the time on my Touch Pro2. With no option, I've been forced to stop. For MS to advertise WP7 as the "get in and get out" OS, this is a straight slap in the face.

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."
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.

Every time a device gets AOSP (for the first time) I see a flood of posts whining about MMS being broken. (I've had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D and saw this on both when they first got AOSP, now I see it in the unofficial CM9 thread here.)
Why MMS? What's good about MMS that you can't get with any other app or service?
Did I miss the train?

Yea.. I gather that as well.
How else would one sext and send nudes?
1) It's universal.
No matter what phone the other person is using, chances are it supports MMS.
2) It's in-line.
Unlike email, you can just go "Here's a picture" instead of "I just sent you an email, you should go check it out"

I know its a serious question but made me laugh a bit. "Why God why!!" Lol
My girlfriend and I send MMS's (plural?lol) all the time. Sometimes she wants to send me something she saw or maybe a new outfit she bought With email I don't always have autosync on for battery life and its just that extra hassle. If I'm trying to send something pretty high resolution I will use email though since it doesn't compress it.
its the easiest and fastest way to send a pic to a person on another mobile phone, any other mobile phone, any OS, any platform, any carrier.
was this a joke?

I guess I just don't get why you couldn't just email pictures or videos. All you have to do is tap after you've taken your picture and the UI asks how you want to share it. I don't know a single human being who still uses MMS outside of these forums and maybe my mother, who keeps buying feature-phones. :^\
It's easier to send a quick picture to a phone than through email. I don't know much of my friend's email addresses off the top of my head

Mms is also used as a group chat in messaging apps like gosms. Allows you to text multiple people at once and everyone in the chat can see everyone elses response. Just fyi

Here is a better question: Why do people still use CDMA carriers such as verizon and sprint? SIM lacking carriers are almost non-existant outside the USA.
Why MMS??? Then why sms ?? Yeah you could SMS but then if u wanted to send a pic or video then you would have to open a separete app which takes more time mms is simply faster

So I've tried using the stock app and 8sms but anytime someone sends me a picture, it comes in super small and very pixelated. Sender can be an iPhone or Android. I've also noticed if someone sends me multiple photos, the last one or 2 is in black and white and not color.
Any suggestions?

This has happened to me too and not found what causes it. I also miss some videos people send. I believe it has to do with the 1200kb max MMS can receive. Wife sent a 1800kb video and everyone got it but me. All of them on verizon, half with android and other half with iphone. Im hoping we can make that max even bigger.

Does anyone know for a FACT the file limit size Verizon will allow it's customers to send via mms??? This would help
Taking 10 seconds out of my day found this. Seems Verizon stats that the limit is 1.2mb which is 1200k correct? So that's our limit to send and receive no matter how high we want to make the setting on the phone, network will only do this?

Not for me. Mine send at full size.
All carriers cap the size of MMS. If they didn't, you could send gigabytes of files and really hog up the MMS server.
T-Mobile and AT&T both cap at 1MB.
The reason you didn't get downsizing with your iPhone is likely because iMessage can route texts through its own servers if the recipient also has an iPhone, which makes the MMS cap much larger
If you text someone who has t-mobile and they have a Note 5 or S6 etc then you can send full size mms with no cap or compression.

MMS has a cap that sits somewhere between 1.5-1.8mb. Carriers will also include their own cap, like the 1mb for tmo.
If you were sending full size images on an iPhone it is because iMessage was handling the traffic, its like sending a photo over Whatsapp or Kik, there is no compression because they are not limited by MMS spec..
