Where I live I get bad reception in the house so I get a lot of failed SMS which is annoying when I have to try 2 or 3 times to get it to send. I've tried both Samsung and asop text apps and neither have a setting to auto retry the failed SMS. Is there something I'm missing? Or a mod I can do? If not can anyone recommend an app that will do this? Thanks.

the closest I've found is CrowdSMS but it's crap it every way besides that it autoresends.
Unreliable SMS is possibly the most frustrating thing about Samsungs, combined with the fact that Android is missing this obvious feature. My Carrier were like "oh yup this is a common issue with Samsung phones, it's the hardware" while Samsung are full of complete BS like "we've never heard of this and nobody else has this problem". Riiight.

has anyone got the message "cant not receive pictures, balance too low" well i cant believe i got this and i am on the $55 plan.. this shouldnt be possible. does anyone know how to fix it.?
Have you tried to reactive the phone. I haven't ever had this show up, so I am just W.A.G-ing it here.
It sounds like a problem from VM's side... although I have poked around their MMS.apk and it's hard-coded into the software. So possibly not. Although VM is the first group I would blame.
Second might be wifi. If you have wifi on, disable it, get your 3G working, and try receiving again...
I have had this happen to me a few times, it is a glitch in VM's system. I usually get the message with in a few hours after the error message, it has however taken as long as a week to a month in some cases. My suggestion to you is if it happens again you could try calling VM asap. Personally I just ask whoever it is that sent the message to email me it

I have issues receiving MMS as well. I don't get the balance too low message, instead I have to use the stock messenger app rather than handcent (only mostly default settings). Haven't tried tweaking handcent yet to resolve though. If you have handcent try the stock, if the problem exists stock try handcent maybe.
Well I can receive them now. But when I posted this question I didn't take the time to wait it out. It was the least of my concerns. Lol I installed miui 10/30 on triumph. And my mms was and still is working at the moment

I haven't seen this posted before, so here I go...
I'm not sure other people have this but whenever I get a picture message, the phone interprets it as a 10 seconds video message. The first five seconds are just blank white, and after that it shows the picture in an area of around 100x100 pixels at the top for the last 5 seconds. And this doesn't happen to all messages, but most of them(Even from the same sender). Really weird. Anyone have the same problem? Know of a fix?
Which rom are you using? some dev's post fixes for things like that with the rom download files.
This happens to me whenever someone using an iPhone sends me an MMS with multiple attachments. Is that what's going on with you too?
Exactly, but to me it happen even if its one message only.

I can confirm this issue. For me, MMS barely works at all without some workarounds. I believe it's because we're on Wind in Canada. The development is 100% geared towards the T-Mobile G2X, and there's gotta be some file in the phone somewhere that makes this happen on the Wind Network.
I've posted about this before, never found an answer. I dug around in the /system folders and files but nothing really peaked my interest as being the cause of the problem.
For now I've corrected this issue, as well as sending/receiving issue by doing the following:
Every time I receive an MMS, before I download this MMS, I navigate into system->More->Mobile Networks->APNs, then just tap the "Wind CA" APN, and without editing, back out. This will cut off your internet from working and allow the MMS to download properly. Then once that's done to get internet back up again you have to go back into the APNs and reset to defaults.
Pain in the butt if you ask me.
I have been on Sky ICS ROM for quite a while now, and it has the Google Now and voice search for ICS in it and it has worked up until a few weeks ago. When I voice search for anything, my browser will open and display an error saying "We're sorry, but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users we can't process your request right now." Strange thing is, it's not consistent. Sometimes it will work fine, then suddenly gives me that error. I have tried flashing back to stock then reflashing Sky ICS from scratch...same thing. Any ideas what could be wrong? Is it my phone, or is something going on on Google's end?
I've had this problem happen to me a few times, not exactly sure what causes it but only (statistically) happen when I update CM10 with the OTA updater. If I do it manually and include clearing the caches it usually fixes it self, then after that I just fix permissions after reboot.
But yeah I've had that notice popup while I was on data.
Just noticed new quirk with it. It doesn't error out when I'm on WiFi, only when I'm on the mobile network (AT&T). Very strange. I checked the APN settings and everything looks good. Can't think of anything else that could be wrong.
I am STILL trying to figure out why I keep getting this message. I've tried full wipes, flashing back to stock, flashed both bases of Sky ICS, and I am still getting same error message more times than not. I have tried searching online and in these forums for any answers but can't find any. Seems to be either working for everyone else, or the problems they have had are different then mine. Am I really the only one? Does anyone have any ideas?

It's a jb feature and your on a hacked up ics version. It's bound to screw up. Use a real jb rom If you need it that badly.

I was attempting to find the cause of getting this same message from google search. Same symptoms, works great on wifi, sporadically throws this error on data connection. Just so you know, I'm on an HTC Vivid, Holics ICS with Google Now, AT&T.
I am at least more confident that I am not infected with malware....
Still can't argue against you, xcrazydx.
Just FYI, not limited to your device...or mine it would seem....
Hey Guys,
I've been having trouble downloading multimedia messages on my phone. It just sits "downloading" and does nothing. I have one right now that is all of 1kb in size but won't finish. Is this a known thing? I've had trouble with this for what feels like the start of having this phone. It might have something to do with group messaging as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the stock messaging app as well.

For me, that problem arises when I have mobile data turned off.
To fix it, turn data on. The file will download then you can turn data back off.
Seems like a hassle but it is the only thing that works for me.
I had the same problem when connected to my network extender. I switched to Verizon Messaging and it fixed the problem. The guy at the Verizon store told me their app can use wifi to send messages and I guess the Samsung app won't. He must be correct because I haven't had a problem since I switched.
So it's probably the stock samsung texting app? That blows if that's the case.
Ok, so trying to use the stock message app with voice. Every time I use it, I have to press microphone, then start talking, I usually just say hey, then wait, it will say network error, I then proceed in using again and it works fine.
Has anyone else run it this problem?
If so, have you found a fix for this.
Now I have never tried with watch in standalone mode to see if that is different.
I get this from time to time too. It's very frustrating to speak a whole text only to get the response of "Network Error". I wish someone would figure this out. This watch is just s few small tweaks from being head and shoulders above any other wearable. The issue is the tweaks required are on basic functionality.

I have downloaded the "Chat Hub" app by Le Hoang It is $2.70 and this seems to fix the problem. It also allows you respond to messages from like facebook messenger and others. I do not however use a bunch of different ones. So not sure how good it really is.

I've had this issue before but i find it hard to believe that a third party program has anything to do with the S-Voice speech to text...
The issue has also happened to me on a pebble and android wear.. I think it has more to do with the connection between the watch and the phone. What phone are you using?

I can honestly say this fixed it. May not be the idea of the app, but has for me anyway.
