[Q] mms issue. People can't receive my pics

I am running the infused 1.5.3 rom and go sms. When I try to send a picture to my friend who has the exact phone I do and also my wife who has the iphone 4. They are both receiving this message
"Your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. Portions of this message will not be displayed."
Yet pics I send to my friend who has verizon go just fine. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried sending the message through the stock messaging app?

My friend with his infuse can send me pics and I can get pics from my wifes iphone 4 when she sends them as well but they can't get mine.

does your phone ask you if you would like to resize them when you try and send...if so are you selecting yes
are there any other changes that you have made like:
freezing thesms/mms app
using a different sms app
etc etc
and then the same goes for their end...
have they made any changes, do they receive pics from others and only not yours

I am using go sms and I've tried stock sms. I haven't froze any sms apps. It doesn't ask me to resize, just the usual compressing or resizing message it normally gives without prompting for a user response. My friends infuse is stock and not rooted and my wifes iphone 4 is jailbroken but nothing has changed anytime recently with it. The apps I have frozen is just media hub. Yes they can receive pics from others and send them as well.
Edit: I have media hub, maps, and news & weather frozen.
Actually it just reads "converting to multimedia message" no prompt for anything. Very frustrating as to why mainly verizon people are getting my pics and not others. Thats how it seems anyway.
As far as trying to send pics that I actually took with my phone then forget about it. Longest I've had it sit is about 15 minutes before I get pissed and just delete the send. Those stay stuck on "sending" and never go anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I'm missing some kind of setting after flashing infused

I use handcent...in the settings there is an option of "max mms message size limit"
I believe you want that to be 2mb...anything over that will not send to some phones.
that has been the only instance where some people did not receive my msgs.
Have you tried on wifi and network? I have not noticed the issue on att, but on sprint you could not send or receive mms while on wifi
those are the only things I can think of

I do currently have it set to 4g 5M for the photo size. I could give that a shot. Still odd that it would not send to my friends infuse I have tried wifi and att network and home I have the 3g microcell which is NOT worth the $200. I'm kinda pissed I bought it.
If you want full bars yet calls cut in and out and you want to resend each text about 4 times cause they will instantly fail (happens no where but when I'm connected to microcell) then pick one up lol
But yea the mms issue happens elsewhere as well.

it will usually work for sending, but their phone may be blocking

I kept the size the same for now but unchecked preserve image size and now it seems the pics send. Yesterday it would be stuck on sending. I can only test with people at work. The ones with issues are asleep right now. Hopefully that or the 2m image size fixes the issue

At my sisters house I don't get good service and I have people to text...but everyone is all about the whatsapp messanger but I cannot for the life of me figure it out... they say they will send me a message to verify but I never get a message :/ I deleted it and reinstalled it but no luck so any other ideas? Or help with that?

try textfree, works for me over wifi or data, some say it doesnt work for them but 99% of the time its works for me,

Well I was hoping that I could still use my number so I don't confuse people with mismatched numbers :/

I think you can use google and keep your number. I remember I set it up but didn't want to pay to use my original number or something like that. I can't remember.

Okay thanks man I shall take a look into that I'm trying anything anyone offers that whatsapp never sends me a confirmation text so it doesn't work:/

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.

I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.

Gosms is nice..
*Kingpin... get it?*

I use mysms. I can use it from the PC, tablet and phone, and it syncs the message throughout all my devices. Its also free from the market.

google voice does this... works great

This is what I use on my Kindle Fire, and it works alright. Not sure if it has a notification alert.

[Q] No MMS after rooting

Hi all -
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 and I have just rooted last night. This morning, I am unable to receive MMS picture as I usually can from my girlfriend, who is an iphone user. If I send an MMS pictures to myself, it works fine. I read somewhere you have to reset your APN settings, which I've done but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. I've also rebooted a few times. I should tell you that I have backed-up and uninstalled the stock messaging app, since I use Go SMS exclusively. I tried to restore it but was unable to. Could this be the problem or do I need to make more changes to my APN settings?
Thanks in advance

If you search for skyrocket APN's you should get an idea of the settings (PTA is the only one I use)
If you long press the message, does it let you see the attachment/recognize the message as a mms?

na
it just shows the text - no mms. I got one successfully from my brother (who's on an android), so i'm waiting to see if I can get one from the iphone

take a look at GO SMS in the market and what it supports; it may not support MMS. A lot of apps don't process MMS texts just fyi.

So message details only recognizes it as a SMS, but only when sent from an iPhone? Can you have them turn off imessage? I'm going to guess that's part of the issue

Just thought id mention this, my mom, dad and sister all have iphones and tried sending me MMSs yesterday, did not work just continuously say downloading.
however i called my mom and while on the phone she sent me the mms again, i checked it while on the phone and it successfully downloaded.
could it have been a fluke? or is there something that changed while i was on the phone?

I had constant moms problems with family/clients using iPhones with imessage enabled
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

If you turn off DATA or momentarily don't have data on; MMS will stick at "downloading...."
you have to disable "Auto Retrive" in Messaging settings then attempt to download the MMS again.

hm if android receives android, I bother it is the problem of your phone.
What you should do is a simple delete and install from the market, to start again.
If nothing changes, I should throw you girlfriends iPhone in a lake and take care she will get an SGS2

Any solution?
Hi all,
Has there been any sign of a solution for this issue yet? I just rooted my GS2 LTE and can not seem to send or receive MMS to anyone at all. I do not want to download any other aps to do it for me, I just want to figure this out. I've also read a lot about changing APNs, any ideas on that?
Thanks in advance.

Guys how can you expect any help if you don't include a carrier in your post?
I know that for rogers when I flash a new rom I have about 4-5 APNs in my list. I actually have to remove one labeled MMS from the bottom of the list and leave the one that is marked as LTE. Then after a reboot I can get MMS no problem. BTW GoSMS does do MMS, I used to use it but have since been using the stock SMS/MMS app.

Sorry, it was late at night/ early in the morning. Thought I included he fact that I was with Rogers. I also have a few APNs. I've played around with a few of them and now I seem to sometimes be sending pictures. It's entirely inconsistent and still takes over 5 minutes to send on the rare occasions it decides to.

I may have found the solution to my issue. I deleted all APNs and made one Rogers APN to act as all of them. I used the instructions I found on a website which I am apparently too new to link to. So far I have managed to send and receive picture texts to myself 100% of the time within a reasonable timeframe. I will be back if that changes when I message other people. Thank you all again for your help.

Can't see emoji from iPhones or ppl from other carriers unless MMS

Is there any way to fix this?... people with iphones only see question marks when I send emoji and I receive them the same way...I can see them on twitter Instagram and Mms tho. Is there a way to fix this? Never had this problem on my S3 and its really bugging me

Do you use google voice? It's better with emojis than it used to be, but still not the best, could be the cause of your problem, I know it is mine.

yeah i do use google voice. I've tried sending SMS over 3G and 4G using google voice and my carrier in the hangouts app with no luck. I think it must have something to do with antenna in our phone or something because it sends fine over wifi

I know it's a pain, but try disabling voice, or just have the voicemail part used. Not through the app, but on your computer, like completely disable voice and try that way. From what I know, it can't handle the emojis and they generally get turned into an mms in order to send. try it out and see if that's really your problem or not.

Ahhhhh thank you so much I can finally send them. Sprint integration with google voice was the problem. Once disabled it worked fine

Sweet, that was my issue too, too bad it had to come down to using emojis, or texting over wifi and from computers and stuff. It's a tough one for me.

Have you noticed when in a group message?

I just noticed when I was in a group message I could see when the others were typing and when they read my message? Does this only work when messaging others who have the note 5? That was the case but I can't find any options for this
I should mention that I did find settings for "chat" that would allow me to see the others typing and when they have read my message...but I had turned those off before noticing the typing message and had confirmed they were off after noticing.

Here

It's a new implementation baked into Android devices on T-Mobile. The Note 5 and Edge Plus are 3rd and 4th ever to get it, I believe.

Basically, it's like iMessage for Android. If both phone users have the Advanced Messaging installed on their phones, they will be able to see when the other has read a text or is typing. It's going to be great to see when it is implemented on more devices.

To see the "is typing" while texting go to messages, more, settings, chat settings, turn on share typing indications also if you turn off read receipts than the other person won't see if you've read his messages or not but you can still see theirs if their settings are switched to on
You don't need to be in group text for this to work it seems to only be working with the newer phones, I just upgraded 3 phones 1 note and 2 edge plus' and we tested it out

Yes you will see when someone has read yours or if it's been delivered because they have their settings on, but they will not be able to see it on their end since your settings are checked to off
