[Q] Unable to receive picture messages but can send? - Motorola Atrix 2

So for the past few days I've been unable to receive any media messages....photo or video, but can send just fine. I've done a bit of searching and can't find much info. Has anyone experienced this and and come up with a possible fix?
Thank you

What ROM are you running? It probably has something to do with your apn configuration.

No ROM, just rooted...using GOsms...all 4 APN settings are configured in settings.

This actually began happening a couple days before switching to atrix 2 from atrix 4g and seemingly carries over to my atrix 2.

I've been having the same problem. My daughters LG Thrill is doing the same. I did talk to AT&T and they wanted me to do a full factory reset. I haven't done that yet, not sure I want too. Just got my phone setup just the way I like it.

I tried a factory reset 4 hours and still nothing

Netflix app not streaming on 4G

So I started a Netflix account last night on my PC it works fine but when I try to stream it on my phone I get an error saying we could not connect to the Netflix service try again later ( some other unimportant stuff ) then error code 12001. I called Netflix and the girl I spoke with said it was an issue with Samsung devices after the newest update. I'm currently running synergy nightly builds the 9/5/2012 build. Was wondering before I revert back to stock if anyone else was having this issue or any at All?

Im pretty sure after the latest update it only streams on wifi.

Thanks for the reply she mentioned something similar to this but not those exact words. What if I download an older apk? Unless its going to prompt me to automatically update the app if that's the case I'll just cancel and use some other service any recommendations?

Actually I think I was wrong before. The update added a wifi only toggle in settings.

The newest Netflix is working fine on both of my Droid Charge and Galaxy S3. The issue is with your phone. It also works fine on my Asus tf700 (wifi and tethering through 4G).
OK can't decide if I want to switch ROMs or just use hulu decisions decisions

Change imei back to tmobile

Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?

It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

I can send mms. But I can't receive them.....any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Also, not trying to open a can of worms ; but if I install a newer version of android would that rectify the situation I am having?

Hm so it looks like you are on the latest version. Did you do a factory reset when you got it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't...would that somehow lock my phone to a specific carrier?

No but something might be messing up the mms.

Do you think if I installed a newer version of android I would be able to send and receive texts???
Or if I root it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.

[Q] Can't send SMS

so I'm using the Verizon Galaxy S3 in my Country with a CDMA carrier, I'm using CDMA RUIM to connect to the carrier.
The problem is, when im in the EVDO coverage i cannot send SMS (no problem incoming SMS and In/Out Call) to send a sms i must manually change the network to 1xCDMA, is there any fix to this?
Thanks

What ROM are you using? Are you able to send with a 3rd party texting app or same results regardless of what app?

Well the first think i would try is your using the stock is to get off of the stock. Try using synergy rom or something with a bit more network access on the phone side. Untill i can look into it, that's all i can suggest.

Hmmm. Odd that it has no issues with anything but sms. I'll do some research and see what I can find. What country and service if you don't mind me asking?

Im in indonesia, im using a CDMA carrier called "Bakrie Telecom" / "Esia" unlike most of CDMA carrier that "inject" the Number into the handset, this carrier using CDMA RUIM.
When im using Sprints Epic 4G i used the "inject" technique too since that phone do not has a RUIM slot, and its working well.

I would agree with this. Maybe a rom with a little more network access options would help with this.

Announcing calls

Yes I searched! Every place! Every time I receive a call my phone it verbally "announces" it, contact name or number. I've checked driving mode, checked it and uh-checked it. Checked text to speech, talk back. Nothing is out of order. It started out of the blue about 2 weeks ago, and for the life of me I can't figure it out Running 4.1.2.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So talk back is off and driving mode is off and still having problems. I would just make sure everything is backed up and factory reset.

That was my next step, figured I'd ask here B4 doing that...

Why ant the time changed yet
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
Mine went back two hours I'm guessing I have two apps causing havoc
Perhaps you had one app set it back and another set out forward.
In short no clue but you are not alone in time change woes.
