Ummm...I'm not sure deleting files is such a good idea. Make sure that your data is enabled to ensure that MMS can function properly. MMS will not be able to send or receive if data is disabled under network settings.

no see when I get a sext its as a video of that picture. or a slideshow idk. it has a play button and I can't DL it

That has nothing to do with your phone. that happens to me a lot when people with iPhones send me a picture message. Nothing to do with your settings

I believe there may be third party apps in the market that will allow you to do that. I'm not sure though. Can you do so with a google voice number?
There is an app called Skebby Free MMS in the market that says it sends text and mms messages via wifi. It's only free if you send it to someone else that is using the same app though. Otherwise, it will cost you money.
There is also WhatsApp and it is free for a year.

Maybe you should begin learning how to form proper question then. Do a search on the Market for WiFi MMS or pay the 10 bucks a month.
thanks everyone for your help I'll. let you know how it turns out.

MMS picture message issue... "Send Failed"

If you can't send pictures in MMS try this...
Send your self a text with a picture attached... If your number is 2223334444, then place a 1 in front if it like this... 12223334444 and see if that will go through.
If the message goes through, try sending a picture to someone without using the "1" in front now and you should be good to go.
Another problem is if you have dashes or periods between the numbers. Like 555-555-5555 or 555.555.5555. Remove those and try it if the above suggestion doesn't work.

There's gmail the service and gmail the app, you didn't specify
You might want to remove and re-add your Google account in settings. Have you been "dirty flashing" when moving between AOKP and CM10? Also, what version of gapps are you running?

You might want to go into your gmail account settings and make sure that your IMAP settings are right as well. If Auto-Expunge is off it might do something similar

I have this same issue intermittently. I found d that if I deleted them b4 marking them as read (and sometimes even if I did mark them as read) then they would come back. I fix it by going into the Gmail app, selecting the search option, typing in "in:unread" (minus the quotes) and hit search. It will do its thing and come back with all the unread emails. From there, select them, mark them as read, and delete them again. Hopefully this will work for you as it has for me.

I would doublecheck and make sure that you don't have it sent to archive versus delete

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?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
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.

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....

Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.
