I have a unlocked sprint galaxy s7 gm930p phone I am on the sasktel (bell) network in canada. I have been through the settings talked with sasktel, and samsung and no help. What is happening is that I can send sms and picture mms messages and receive them fine. I can also send video mms messages, but when I send one to myself or someone else sends a video mms to me it comes to a separate text and states "XXXXXXXXXX sent you a message with a media type not supported by your handset: content: Type: video/mp4" or it may be video/3gpp. I know that I can view the video because I send a video to myself from my phone that I watched but I cannot view it when I receive it back. I checked with sasktel and they indicate that they show the message being sent fine on their servers, so I am at a loss.
thanks

Anybody have any success sending / receiving MMS (multimedia messages) on Droid 2 Global that is not using Verizon network?
I am using mine on Rogers Canada and I have all necessary settings applied for MMS proper operation. However sending MMS message never succeeds - message details say "National access coverage not available" - message just sits and waits forever.
I have managed to receive 2 only (no idea why), all other show up in conversation (no notification sound) but say message received @ time/date (download) (reject) buttons appear, download always fails, except for the two times messages downloaded successfully.
Looks like Verizon has been messing up with the messaging app. I tried handcent SMS, but it pretty much does the same - looks like it is just an api over the built-in messaging.
MMS is not something utterly important for me, but it will be nice if we can get it working properly.
After several hours of troubleshooting and a hard reset, I've been told that the reason I am unable to SEND picture messages is due to a incorrectly configured "Short Message Center" number. All other functions (make/recieve phone calls, send/recieve text messages, browsing the internet, and recieving picture messages) work fine.
I have verified the APN settings are correct, and supposedly everything looks good on the carrier's end but I'm still not able to send picture messages. The carrier (Solavei, an inept T-Mobile reseller), expected this to be displayed after entering a code into the dialer app, but instead displayed on the most recently called number. (The code was *#*#4636#*#* which did not work). Any ideas on how to set this on the Motorola Atrix 2?
Android Version 4.0.4
Sys Ver 67.21.125.MB865.ATT.en.US
Forgot to mention that using another carrier's (Cellular One) SIM card on this unlocked phone with the correct APN settings is able to succesfully send/recieve picture messages on this phone, and that I am able to send/rec picture messages when using my SIM in another phone.
Update: I am able to send MMS messages using a 3rd-party app (Go SMS Pro), with a custom-set MMSC, which matches the MMSC in the APN settings. Does anyone know how this works?
Also, does anyone know if the ROM I used when flashing my phone could have known issues with particular MMI codes, (as apparently suggested HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737594)?
Hi all..
I'm just kind of taking a shot in the dark here but I've been having an odd problem that has very specific conditions, so here goes..
I am on Aio wireless using a Samsung i9500 with Kitkat. Most of my family are all on StraightTalk wireless.
The problem I have is that my 2 favorite SMS apps seem to somehow have issues getting StraightTalk to download MMS messages I send.
My family members using StraightTalk are able to send MMS messages to me regardless of which texting app they or I use, however, they do not receive my MMS messages if I use the app Textra, or HoverChat to send the MMS. I do not get a failure to send message, the recipients phone just acts as if I have not sent them anything. The thing is, these same 2 apps can send MMS to Verizon customers perfectly fine (I have tested with 2 friends). I know it has to be a problem with these apps as the very same recipients DO get my MMS from the following other apps:
GoSMS
Handcent
Chomp
EvolveSMS
Hello SMS
Sliding SMS
and the default messaging app that came on my phone.
My problem is this.. I have emailed the developers of both apps and tried to explain this but they can't seem to see that there is a problem. (the Textra app dev got me to send a log and the log showed my MMS successfully sending to Aio's MMSC) What I am wondering is, is there anyone else that has Aio wireless and knows someone using StraightTalk that can see if the same issue happens to you? Or does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and how I can better explain to the developers of these 2 apps so that they may be able to find and fix the issue? I have no idea why StraightTalk would reject an MMS ONLY from a specific app and carrier combination but it is absolutely maddening.
Could these 2 apps be appending some sort of tag or invalid data on the MMS that causes StraightTalk to ignore it and never send the download request to the recipient?
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there a trick to getting MMS picture messages to send from this phone when used on the T-Mobile network? My friend bought the version of the phone from Amazon and updated the APN settings according to https://apn.gishan.net/settings/877_12_t-mobile_apn_settings_for_huawei_honor_6x.php but still is unable to send picture messages to me (I'm on AT&T and Google Voice). They look like they send from her end, but I never get them or any indication that there was an attempted MMS sent. Any thoughts?
I have this phone sm-a750g AND AM ON T-MOBILE. I cant make or receive calls, I cant send or receive text messages. The only way I can send or receive txt's is I have to add a picture and when it converts the message to MMS I can send it and to be able to receive a txt the sender has to do the same and add a picture. If I try without the pic it tells me it will send when the service becomes available. I've tried several different APNS to no avail. When I try to make a call it tells me i'm not registered on the network, I try to register on the network and it tells me t-mobile isn't available even though it finds it. I can get on the internet just fine with the phone and browse email and social media just fine. I've been with customer support for hours and days at a time to no avail and of course everything is tip top on there end and it has to all be me. I can put a att or cricket sim in and everything works fine?? bad thing is im not on anyone of those carriers. SOMEONE PLS HELP ME BEFORE I GO FREAKING CRAZY OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!
Hello,
just for the usual text messages: have you changed the setting for using text-Messages?
Messages > Settings > Chat Settings > "Select default messaging type" > Text/multimedia msgs
With the chat option I've allways had some problems here.
