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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.

Anyone else experiencing their text threads being out of order? For instance, i can send a text that shows that it was sent at the right time, however if someone texts me, the time is a couple of minutes off. Thus, throwing the chronological order off.
If im reading and thinking of ur problem rite it may be the same as mine was. When i first send text sometimes it would fail and wouldnt resend till i reopen text. So it would have wrong time at least i thought it did.

No, my texts don't fail. When I send them, they show the same time as my clock. However, if someone sends me a text, it shows they sent it about a minute or two ahead of my actual time.
I'll try to give an example: 6:45PM- actual times that these text are sent.
Me (6:45PM)- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Me (6:45PM)- ccccccccccccccccccc
Someone Else (6:46PM)- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
See, how it places the incoming texts at 6:46, even though it is really 6:45 still, throws the order off on my reply. It makes it seems like both of my texts were sent before I even received a response.
Very frustrating......
Are you having this problem in the stock messaging app? I noticed it every once in a while, but haven't had the problem yet with Handcent.
If you're using the stock app, try downloading Handcent or ChompSMS or something, and see if it goes away
i have this same issue, its made me switch to handcent because the problem hasnt occured using that. Plus it lets me have vibrate functionality ONLY in the vibrate setting and retain only audio notification in a sound profile

Yeah, I'm using the stock messaging app. I'll try Handcent, apparently a lot of people like it. I'll update ASAP
i'm still using my fuze and i have the same problem. i wonder if it has something to do with the time on att , the other persons phone and/or other carriers servers
Handcent all the way! It corrects the out-of-order issue and is way more customizable, including assigning ringtones for each contact. Just remember to turn off the notifications on the stock messaging app, otherwise you'll receive double notifications on each message received.
Im having the same problem on my Captivate...But my N1 gets it right. Im getting replys before I even send a text...according to the time stamps.
Sorry to report that, although ive only experienced it once, i have seen the same problem with Handcent SMS

This problem happens to me if I reply back really quickly... It'll put my text above the one I replied to.

Beauty is there's ways around it (other apps) and we don't have to rely on anyone to fix it.
My wife and I both have Captivates. Her phone has the text messages out of order, while mine does not. Something we noticed is that when we do an auto sync of the date/time, her phone is consistently 4 minutes behind mine. For example, my time will be 6:06, and her phone says 6:02. I believe this is what is causing the text app to "re-arrange" the messages. The text app just looks at the time stamp of the message, and not the actual order of the send/receive process.
I am not sure how to correct this other than manually setting her phone forward by 4 minutes.

This is exactly the problem.
If I get a text at 9:01... And I reply at 9:01... It puts mine as having been sent before the one I received.
just use handcent people.
Yeah, but like I said, Ive reproduced the problem once, even with Handcent. On a side note, does anyone know how or where to get more skins for Handcent?

That does not solve the root problem... Some phones are getting the wrong time from the network when set to auto-config.

tikicult, somone else reported that their phone was off by 4 minutes. Solved it by getting a new SIM Card.

I've been having this problem as well.
I went to the AT&T store today to try and get a new SIM, as per one of the suggestions in this thread. Problem still occurred. Tried it on a fresh straight out of the box Captivate. Problem still occurred. Sales guy threw his SIM from his iPhone in a demo Captivate. Problem still occurred on both Captivates.
Later I tried adjusting the time manually up by a minute or 2. Problem still occurred after a text with a response approx. 20-30 seconds later. Still showed the text coming in at 1:23, and my response which was 30 seconds later as being sent at 1:22.
Seems like a Samsung software issue.
All of a sudden my gmail stopped sending pictures. they just sit in the outbox and even block regular emails from sending.
Ive already cleared data and re synced but it didnt help.
any thoughts?
thanks
update:
Scratch that the clear data did work but it just took a while to actually send (up 15 minutes) but that could have been since i get crap att service.
Well mods can either delete thread or leave it in case anyone else has the issue and runs a search.
Reinstall app works well too.

When I got the phone (before rooting,etc.), my sister tried to send me a picture and I never recieved it. I kind of shrugged it off as a network error.
I use Go SMS instead of the stock SMS app anyway. Every now and then, I'd get a message saying "Messaging has stopped." but it never bothered me.
Since then, I rooted and installed the CM10 preview on the phone (amazing piece of work, might I add :highfive
I had issues reciving (and sending) pictures then, but I recall specifically reading there was issues with that.
After restoring to stock, the Messenger app wouldn't even load, and force closed every single time. It forced me to use a third party texting, but since I regularly use Go SMS, not a biggie for me. But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the messaging app to ... well work.
Also, as before, I still cannot recieve a picture. No clue why. Makes no sense for me. Sounds like a software issue, but after multiple restores / formats, I'm really not sure.
A friend of mine also had the same issue. I'm posting to see if anyone's come accross this before, AND possible solutions.
Thanks for your input guys! :good:

Just noticed someone posting something similar about this. No one has anything to report on this topic?
Hello, I've had the unlocked Note 10+ for a few weeks and have had chronic issues since day one and not really sure what to do about it. A lot of the issues seem to get worse over time. Not sure if the problems are related, but it feels like it.
First, I have MMS issues mostly with any other app but the built in messaging app and even that one isn't perfect. Using Textra for instance will get me MMS timeouts sending and receiving and sometimes messages don't send or come in. This seems to happen with or without wifi enabled.
Next, I'm getting delayed notifications on many if not all apps. Notifications will some in here or there, then all of a sudden I'll get all the notifications for the day all at once. So suddenly my phone is going crazy receiving 50 notifications from different apps all at once. Related to that, if I get a notification and click on it to open the related app, often nothing happens. Then like an hour or more later the app I clicked on for the notification will pop open in the middle of doing something else. It will also get hung up installing or updating apps. A reboot will usually clear this but at some point it get's stuck again and will take hours to install an app if it does at all.
I've done all the usual things like disabling battery optimization for the apps in question, set the phone to high performance mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled things, cleared the cache partition, reset network settings, checked APN settings, even now have factory reset the phone, twice, got a new SIM card. Talked to Samsung and they tell me I need to mail it to their repair depot in Texas if I think it's hardware.
So no idea where to go with this. Seems hard to believe it's a hardware problem and sending the phone away for a week or more doesn't seem like a great option, especially when they might just send it back as it works OK for awhile after a reboot.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
After you reset the phone, did you install apps manually from store or let it go off a backup?
Also, just an idea but maybe the tower servicing you is acting up.. Unless it's been happening in multiple areas.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
That is a good point, I did let it install automatically from the Google backup. It wasn't a true restore the way I would generally think of it as everything was installed from scratch, but maybe some settings are getting put back that are messed up. It happens out of the are as well, but I did talk to my carrier and they claimed the did some stuff at the tower that might help. I usually think that means they go get coffee then tell me to reboot the phone. Maybe this evening I'll try a fresh install with no restore. Sort of sucks of course as that's a lot more work to get going, but what the hell at this point. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I have a note 10+ myself now unlocked and seeing some texting issues where I don't receive text or mms from Apple phones. Hasn't happened with Android to Android though.
Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
So none of that reinstall stuff helped me. On texting I finally tried the Google Messages app with chat features enabled when it was leaked. Messages alone didn't work, but enabling RCS did and now it actually works better than ever. I hate giving up on textra, but I like the sheer speed of sending giant MMS messages now.
On the notifications thing, the thing that finally got that working right was disabling the Google app. As soon as I did that, all is working as expected. Of course that breaks some Google stuff, but at the moment that's what I have to do to make this work. Even upgrading to Android 10 betas didn't allow me to turn that back on.
I'm on OB4. It has been this way since 3, and yes I've tried a factory reset.
Seems like people who send me texts never get their messages through.
I've tried just shy of everything. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Textra Pro btw
Yes it is happening to me too.. Many a times i wont get the otp. I thought it was carrier issue.
makes me feel a little bit better. i was beginning to think all my friends started hating me

Same here. I was on the Official and had to go back to Android 9. Really sucks because I really liked 10
I installed carrier services from the play store, and it seems to be making it better
I wasn't getting them in the google messenger app and couldnt' download attachments (oneplus messenger or whatever it's called is disabled). I just installed this, looking forward to my next mms.

did it fix it?
I have had this issue on Android 10 only.
I've pinpointed it to when the phone is inactive for I don't know how long.. I work third shift, so sleep in the am woke up everyday for 2 weeks to texts **** down calling worked..
Only fix is reboot.
Temp fix is a scheduled shutdown and start up while I sleep and phone charges. Haven't had issues in a week now. I'm running atnt and Verizon side by side

Did you find a fix for this?
I was having issues with the stock messaging app, did not get a lot of text, or have them send either. It did not matter what network the recipient/sender was on. I switched to google messages and have not had the issue repeat itself. I am on tmo, and this happened to me months back.
