[Q] MMS delivery reports - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Is there any way to get MMS delivery reports (know when the message has been sent or opened on the receiving handset)? I thought this was an ATT problem originally but I see that my daughter's iPhone gets them.

nope, that's a imessage/bbm feature only

My previous phone was an Atrix (still use it with the lapdock) and supposedly it had been enabled for it (although I could never get it to work with ATT):

sms out of order

friend switched from iphone to inspire; her text messages show in the thread out of order.
any thoughts?
stock sms.
thanks.
bump....nobody?
Did she go to an AT&T store to do the switch, or did she switch her self? Sounds like there may be an issue with her account. I would have her call AT&T either way.
Your friend have check the APN setting?

i don't see how that sounds anything like a problem with the account??
I have the same issues every once in awhile. Is it every time for her? It seems like i only have the problem if i respond to a message within the same minute as i received a message.
at and t handled her upgrade
her phone is not rooted; completely stock.
sounds like it happens often, but she is busy at work and a lot of texts to contractors (so the reply time would be pretty quick)
how does she go about checking the apn?

edit: may just tell her to ask at and t
I have the same issues no matter what ROM im using. I think it has to do with the Sense sms app

i thought the same thing but our secretary has an evo with t mobile (htc) and never has that happen....
im at a loss....
Just asked my 14 yr old daughter and she said hers never show up out of order. I don't text too much so I had to defer to her.
If the timestamps are correct and they are out of order that is strange. You could try gosms or handcent as I believe they simply order them as they occur.
apr. that....kids ought have an idea better then us id guess.
seems like they text a lot. my last phone i had text blocked....lol...
ill tell her to try handscent or go sms....thanks again....

I have the same problem with my inspire 4g. like when I check my account balance from my bank. The text I get back from my bank is before the one I sent to my bank. It only happens when the texts are in the same minute. It also happens while testing my wife a lot.
ie
Bank 9:06am: Checking Balance: 2,000,000
Me 9:06am: Balance

I've had the same thing, except my balance says something a liiiiiitle smaller hah
Get the app in the market called SMS Time Fix, install it, run it and put a check in the box for Active and under it set the Adjustment Method to USE PHONE TIME. Works great for me! There is the occasional message that comes in out of order but for 99%, the time is correct. When you restart the phone, just go in and make sure the check in the box is for active and make sure your app killer or task manager doesn't shut it off.

Step 3) Press and hold power button

Do you have WiFi on ? Personally I think the WiFi data transfer is contributing but can't back it up
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Noticed this morning. Left the house and was 15 miles away yet it still said connected to my home WiFi. I really think it has something to do with trying to send via data while WiFi is on. I don't think its switching over properly

the only issue i have with the messaging app is how it sometimes resets the text size. very strange.
Yea I tried sending two mms the other day while on WiFi at my house. Both failed. I was eventually able to send them but I think it has something to do with the WiFi.

are you in the app that came with the phone? i'm trying to figure out if it's a function of the size limitation. looks like it's at 300k max for mms in the basic app. handcent's ceiling for an outgoing mms is over 3x higher.
The problem that I having is receiving MMS from iPhone users. I wonder if it has something to do with the 600k size limit within the settings menu? I have had to resort to asking people to e-mail them to me.

the only time i've heard of iphone to one x problems had to do with people taking their micro-sims from their iphones and moving them to the one x. the iphone has to be wiped first to clear the relevant sim card settings or else messages from other iphone users never showed up.
I sent an MMS Monday night and while my phone said it went through, the recipient never received it. Then on Tuesday morning my sms stopped going out and I couldn't make an out bound call connect so I restarted my phone. That fixed the sms and calling issue, and five minutes later I got a text from my friend telling me my Monday night MMS finally went through. I don't think I ever turned WiFi on during all of this but can't remember for sure.

I'm having issues sending a MMS from the Gallery. When I send a pic from the Gallery and share through MMS it doesn't send it. It still shows in the waiting queue. When I select "retry sending" and sends it immediately.

I'm having this problem. My gf is trying to send me an 800 KB file thru MMS and its simply not going thru. It's telling me:
One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal.
I look in the MMS settings for the phone, and the limit is 600 KB! What is this bull****?! How can iPhones have unlimited MMS size? Is this a carrier restriction?
I am having the same issue with MMS. When I try to send an MMS its really a crap shoot as sometimes it goes through and sometimes it does now. When I select to retry it works.

don't know the answer, but just for comparison, as someone on at&t prepaid on a stock int'l one x, in the native messages app the max size is 300kb! however, if you choose handcent, you can set it much higher - with a warning that it could affect costs for those with light data usage plans.

T-Mobile Visual Voicemail APK

For some reason the Google Play Store is saying my Nexus 5 is not compatible to download the app from the app store. Pretty annoying. Would someone mind sharing the APK for it? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Wouldn't do you any good. T-Mobile hasn't upgraded the app to work with 4.4 yet. Should be fairly soon though
edit: As o_z0ne points out below looks like it just might work . I should have known when the tech support tmo guy told me it's not updated yet to work with kitkat ugh....
thanks o_z0ne!

Working fine for me.

When I first booted my N5 when I got it, it downloaded T-Mo VVM with no issues. Worked fine. I reset my phone, still on stock, but when all; my apps reinstalled automatically, VVM was not there. When I went to the Play Store, it now says my phone is not compatible. Very strange.

This appears to be an attempt to activate VMM on the line, per TMO support fora (this one was for a Windows phone):
"
I found another thread where a user tried texting a short code that eventually got VV to work on his Windows Phone. Let me know if this process works for you
1. Text "Activate:dt=6" to 122 (omit the quotation marks)
2. Call yourself from your mobile phone (enter the vm system), enter your password, and then hang up after hearing you have a saved message. When you hang up, you should have visual voicemail working on your phone."
Thanks

I keep getting a message saying that the server isn't responding. When I tried calling myself, I just got a busy signal but when I long-pressed 1, it took me to regular voicemail....anyone else run into this or have any suggestions?
EDIT: I've been through the wringer trying to get VVM set up; long story short, T-Mobile says that VVM is available on prepaid phones, but not the Nexus 5, and customer service even gave me the link to a document stating that. It's amazing how some people have gotten VVM/Google Voice to work on their T-Mo prepaid N5's, and some haven't. I'm one of the unlucky ones, I suppose.

According to T-Mobile, they're working on support for the N5. They supported the N4, so I don't see any reason why the N5 won't be supported eventually.

Sprint MMS Issues?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had any MMS Issues since buying this phone. I've had several people ask me if I ever got the pictures they sent, and I just never got them. This happened on both stock and custom roms. Weird thing is, this morning I had my wife send me a test MMS and it worked. But later in the day, I didn't receive one again.
Thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'll be tentatively getting my N5 on Monday (knock on wood), so if everything goes according to plan I'll test MMS right away and let you know.
I get them but I'm not always notified that a new message exists. Seems to be group MMS messages I'm not receiving notifications for. This is probably more of a Hangouts issue than a Sprint issue tho.
The problem is more unicorns exist in the world than sprint cell towers
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'm on sprint and up until like 3 hours ago, my MMS was working great... But now for some reason, I can't send any but can still receive them no problem. It's pretty irritating. I haven't changed anything yet they just stopped working. Using textra (and have been since I got the phone two weeks ago)

Turn data on to receive mms. And I hope this thread will stop you from asking 100+ times in less than 24hrs in the same rom thread about same issue. Thanks.

If you're using Hangout, try 8SMS. It's a free app, a KitKat modified version of the CM messaging app. One cool feature (which Sprint supports) is that'll send MMS via Wi-Fi. They also have a thread in Android Apps here in XDA.

I'd consider it, but my MMS are back to working. That wi-fi MMS thing sounds awesome though... it's just- I've been waiting for SMS/MMS in hangouts for so long, I don't want to cheat on it!

MMS pictures received super crappy

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?

I installed Textra earlier today and it seems alot better.
Was looking into this as well. I use GoSMS and the pictures from group texts are mad crappy.
I was wondering if a custom ROM would fix it but I guess not.
Anyone getting better results with another messaging app?
I am using textra and it seems to be better.
