The phone is a couple weeks old, nothing rooted, completely stock and MMS won't work. The actual message comes through with the option to "download" the picture but it never downloads. What could be the problem?
Try turning off "auto-retrieve". I got this issue, too. Only for the first MMS I got on the phone, though.

I never once saw this problem the first 3 weeks I had my phone, but ever since I installed the Froyo upgrade I have had issues whereby some MMS messages do not automatically download. They show up in the list and have a download button on them. Sometimes when you push the download button they download, and other times they don't. It's an aggravating problem.
I've received only one MMS with a pic since I've downloaded the AT&T Froyo upgrade. It worked, but I'll keep an eye out for the problem.
Have you tried to create an appointment in the calendar since the upgrade? I can edit existing appointments, but when I attempt to create a new one and save it, I get a message saying it's saved, but it's nowhere to be found.
Another member on another thread confirmed having the same issue...

I've put several things into the calendar and it has saved them. I did do a factory reset though after installing Froyo. I started having a few weird issues and the reset cured most all of it except that my Market interface never has updated and this strange MMS issue. Also noticed that animated gifs that I receive in MMS messages play at a really slow framerate and they didn't with Eclair.
Thanks for the info.
Hello everyone,
So im gonna make this short and sweet.
Had a thunderbolt, it was plagued with the nasty " sending texts to the wrong contacts " issue.
Got verizon to send me a droid 3! WOO AWESOME...
first thing i did was re sync, re download a few apps. cool great awesome story, but i noticed as soon as it was activated any text i send to a verizon phone gives me the delivery report " failed " ( using GOSMS. ) but i can recieve them, works with AT&T though... so..
called verizon, did a hard reset, re activated re updated PRL and had them do some stuff on their end.. to no avail.
Finally, put the phone into safe mode. sent a text using the stock text messaging application..worked fine.
so i uninstall GOSMS re install.. same issue, So i tried handcent.. same issue.
Now, this is reflected in the stock app. so if i send a message in GOSMS, and it fails.. if i go to the stock app it reflects that and says it failed.. ive tried EVERY messaging application and they all do the same thing... at this point im confused and out of things to try.
anyone have any idea's?
thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
I searched the forums and haven't found anything that has any good answers or is fantastically relevant to me, so I'm making a new thread
Over the past couple of days I have not been able to send texts atall. I can receive them, I can receive and send calls aswell.
I get the error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts', and I cannot text anyone atall.
I am using a HTC Sensation with Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE Rom on Vodafone.
I have tried copying my APN settings to a new one and using them, I have tried re-connecting to Vodafone Contract using the Mobile network settings. I have tried deleting and re entering my contacts, and also I have tried the obvious turning off and on again.
I do not think I did anything related to the problem at the time to trigger it, only that I added a new contact after a friend sent me a text. After that point I could no longer text.
Hope that's enough info, any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Jack
It could be your rom. But have you tried to download any other sms apps from the market? Try them out, maybe they can solve the problem.

Well I have just found out that I can't even connect to the internet!
So now I can't even download a new app if I wanted.
It says I'm connected to the internet, and I have signal, but it just gives up as soon as I try to do anything online or send a text.
Just wanted to post saying what I had to do to solve the problem incase someone else has the same problem.
I had to completely reload my ROM and then load on all my my apps and data. After everything was reloaded I then had signal and internet back. I still have no idea why it happened!!
I had the same problem....
and here is what happened: my text message was too long, so it was automatically converted to a MMS. (this seems to be done when the message contains more then 765 characters!)
and not every phone is equipped to receive mms... That is when I got that error message!!
When I divided up my text into 2 parts... it worked normally again and send it !!
Got this phone a week ago and I've sent a bunch of pictures to people through MMS. I've just now learned that none of those pictures were ever received. I don't get any sort of error message; it seems to send just fine. But when I ask if they received the pics, they always say no.
And no, this isn't the problem with 8MP pictures taken with the camera that won't compress properly with the stock Messaging app. This includes smaller pictures about 500KB in size. I have also tried alternative apps such as GO SMS Pro with no success.
I have another issue with receiving MMS messages. I do receive pictures, but they only open as a weird 5-second slideshow as if it's a video file. The only way to view the full size is to download the file and then go to the Gallery app.
Any ideas?
I have an issue with ppl receiving my mms. My issue is that they get the pic like 24-36 hours later

I've had similar issues too, particularly with sending MMS to my friends with iPhones. I've sent group messages which didn't deliver at all, and I've sent pictures which took hours upon hours to send, but when I sent my brother a picture on his old flip phone, he got it within seconds.
strange... I never had any issue.
Actually, I just tried doing some debugging a few hours ago sending MMS to my family, and I even tried using 3rd party messaging software, but still no luck. They just don't want to send.

I've never had any problem either.
I know this isn't helpful (& I hate when other people respond like this) but maybe something in the way my phone is setup is working a little differently.
I got my phone from a pre-order & on the very first boot I rooted it etc. When the root66 ROM was released, I completely wiped everything & flashed the ROM fresh.
I use Handcent, but the stock MMS/SMS app works fine also (I just tried it). Other than flashing that ROM, all I have done is remove or freeze all the Verizon bloatware & everything works perfectly (& it's fast as hell also)
I've been having this issue ever since I bought it, including stock and root66 roms. I've tried using the stock messenger, Go SMS, and also the closest thing to the AOSP messenger I could find on the market, all with the same problem.
That message I sent out to my family when trying to debug it, they finally got it... around 12 hours later.
I just tried it again tonight, and it seems to be working fine, so it seems to be an intermittent issue. I've sent out 3 or 4 that took ours, and I've sent 2 or 3 that delivered immediately. And as far as when I was testing, same exact picture, same exact text, one took 12 hours, the other instant. It couldn't possibly be an issue with coverage, I've got 4G and almost full bars everywhere, plus I'm connected to wifi.
If you've got any clue as to what setting we may have accidentally changed, please do share because I haven't a clue (and tbh, there's not a lot to customize in the stock app)
Boy that really is strange, I haven't had the problem myself but maybe I just haven't used MMS enough to run into it.
ok so i got a boost mobile moto g, great phone and all but.. i unlocked the boot loader, wiped the stock rom and installed cm11 and it went well for the first 2 days or so. i will now get "ghost" texts. it says my sister is trying to send me a multi-media text but she has never sent one. then it started saying "no APN specified on device" whenever it did this. then fixing my permissions with rom manager started deleting dolphin browser everytime i fixed em. also whenever i reboot my phone i must make a phone call before it will allow me to send a text or else the text just wont send. last but not least, yesterday i started getting texts from people that didnt send me a text or sms saying that i sent a text that the person i was texting had actually sent. anyone have the same problems? any luck on solving them?
