May I ask why? Maybe there's an easy and more natural way to reach your actual goal?

Maybe try talking to them to change that policy? Requiring empty SMS is a really stupid idea ...
Did you try the usual alternative SMS apps (Handcent, GO SMS, ...)?

You can't send "empty" messages, on any phone.

Sure you can, if by empty, you mean a visual empty body.
There will always be more information sent through the air than you can see.
OP: Try sending just a full dot or something and see if that works.
If that doesn't work, 'GO SMS Pro' lets you send spaces. It's a free download in the Market.

haha quit being cheap and get an actual tmo line. But anyways i would say search simple mobile mms settings.

Sending a pic to yourself will always work. Is your phone rooted?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Yes it rooted. Did a lil online research and it was happing to the iPhone. So I guess bug the hell out of simple mobile.

you might have trouble downloading on wifi or while plugged in to pc.

Turn off your wifi when you send and receive a picture message

Did you happen to mess with the build.prop file at all?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

No I did not mess with the build. But my wifi is always on but is never connected. So say I have to leave it off at all times? Many thanks for the reply.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

No, you should be able to leave it on. I have mine on right now as I'm typing this and I've an mms..
I assume you have restarted you phone multiple times. Have you been able to send/receive photos before?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Before I can send no problem. Receiving is a hit or miss. Now all I getting is download fail.
Rom is ultimate 1.0

I was going to say, I can never send MMS messages while on wifi calling, I have to turn it off, but if you aren't using wifi calling, must be something else!

i got text bombed!!

i believe i got txt bomb...how do i make it stop!...i keep getting force closes...it freezes..its basically unusable...i called sprint n block the number...but im still geting the msgs here n there...what can i do???

I personally use handcent which has a blacklist feature, and then you can turn off the notification in the stock messaging app

i tried using different messaging apps..but the msgs keep scrolling accross the notification bar...i blacklisted number and blocked threw sprint...now i keep getting force closes on everything...idk what to do

My Carrier (Rogers) allows me to block SMS as well as phone calls via their web site. Worst case scenario... change your number.

Just leave your phone on and let the messages come through. If your phone freezes leave the back door off and just do a battery pull it will run its cycle.

[APP][ICS] AOSP MMS Confirmed Working!!!!!!!

Been emailing the dev back and fourth for a week or so and he JUST put it on the market not 20 minutes ago.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
ENJOY!!!
(You have to delete your old mms, or rename it to mms.apk.bak, or you will recieve texts twice!)
Everything else seems to work perfectly.
UPDATE 4/8: MMS fixed. FC on self picture click check market for the update. Dev is touring europe for a few weeks so there probably wont be any other updates for a bit :[
If you guys really appreciate this I reccomend donating to the dev, his paypal email is in the description in the store. For all the people who had the FC issue when deleting thread or the new MMS app where the silly attachment and send button were switched and it drove you crazy.

Awesome!
Or what you can do is in the Applications menu, disable the old MMS. It's like freezing it. Just built into the OS. I think I'm starting to like ICS more and more...

I tried it, and then when I opened a thread with MMS I received FCs.

Quick note, pressing on your own contact avatar/icon results in a FC of Contacts.

Might need to edit the apk's XML's to match the stock messaging app to fix that. Don't have my computer right now, so I can't do it myself, but when I was messing around on an Epic, that's what we have to do to prevent that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Saw this in your other thread, thanks for the info. It'd be better with working mms.

still same thing..

i NEED mms, but other than that works great here

So far everything has worked great for me.. haven't had a single FC. I also have it as a system app.
Thanks for posting this!

have you tried MMS?
If so the solution may be to make a system app. will try now.
Edit, nope no change for me.

Great find man already popped it into the system/app and it runs great no fc but is there a way to make the new message icon come up on the lockscreen like the old mms did?

This is from the app's description in the play store:
* Removed some stuff about "date sent", which was causing crashes. Samsung's lame SMS app doesn't have this field in the database. I could potentially add it though. But it is not a critical feature so I just disabled it.
* There's stuff about DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the code. I presume this is for copy protected MMSs? Does anyone even use MMSs? Anyway I haven't tested anything to do with MMSs or DRM and there's a good chance the app will crash if it has to deal with any of that stuff.

Just tried this as well.. FC'ed when trying to MMS.

Latest update of the app fixed this for me! Seeems like I had to come off of wifi for it to send. But I may have just been impatient.

[Q] Picture Messages [Solved]

My dad recently updated to ICS (Thanks Team Acid) but when someone sends him a picture a box comes up that says download as opposed to the picture just being there like on my phone which also has ICS. Can anyone help me fix this? It's important as he needs the pictures for work.
P.S. Nothing happens when you hit download. Just says downloading and nothing happens. Checked his gallery for download pictures and nothing new was there.
Help is much appreciated!

If your talking about MMS then you need to check something on your side, MMS works fine on my side, my friend sent me a picture of his Math Homework

Check settings in the messaging app and see if auto retrieve is checked.

Make Sure Data is turned on.

If his data was turned off, then he wouldn't even receive the message. His problem is that he could not see/view the picture that was sent to him.

Actually that's wrong, he will still receive mms but he would have to "download" it to view the picture.
He said that nothing happens when he pressed download, so I would check to make sure he has data turned on

@OP Google "TMOB MMS APN" and see if your APN matches. If all that is good I'd call TMOB.

Can you explain this further. When I had Virgin Mobile they had many growing pains when they started selling the optimus v and with that several data outages. When data was out you couldnt ever get mms pictures. I got a couple free months of service because of that. I was told by sprints level three techs mms would not be transmitted. As in you would never get the message unless data was on.
If I am misreading what you are saying please ignore. But I am almost positive you still need data to get the mms. Not just to download but to receive it.

I don't know if its just the way t mobile handles mms but when I have my data off I will still receive a text message with the subject of the mms and an option to download (obviously it won't download it unless I have data enabled)
