Problems with MMS messages

[gqstatus0685]

Ok all the MMS settings are correct, I put them in myself and know them (work for AT&T) When I get a picture I don't see the picture it just shows like a little GIF image of a camera but no picture. I haven't tested to see if I could send but I'm sure I can. I don't know why it's happening. Could anyone help. No one at my job seems to know either.

Are you having this problem from one particular person, or with everyone who sends you an MMS?

Are they all coming from the same device type? It could be the settings from the person you're receiving from.

Everyone. i even sent myself an mms message and it couldnt open the picture just shows a GIF image of a little camera. It used to work before and i don't know what happen. The pictures are like 13k in size so it isn't a size factor. When I receive an MMS i get that little GIF instead of the picture and at the bottom theres a player that plays nothing.

bro i've tried to double tap and tap and hold i knew it wouldnt work but I said what the hell I had nothing to lose. I have girls sending me really exclusive pictures and I cant see them!! ahhh!! mind f***!

I'm trying to figure this out, i'm going to post a screen shot of what I see as soon as i find my sync cable.

i dunno about AT&T but i work at T-mobile and you cant recive a MMS until you have sent 1 first. we always get people to send an MMS to their own number and see if it comes through.

hope that helps

Odd things have happened to my messaging system twice. The first time my phone wouldn't even allow me to send an sms at all. I would click the text icon onscreen or try to set up one of the soft keys as a short cut to get to it all to no avail. Fix: Hard reset. The second time my MMS system was messed up. When a MMS message was sent to me rather than get the message my phone would get a notification that there was a message to be downloaded. I would try to download it and the message never came. The techs at Att kept telling me that the message download prompt was normal (which it wasnt, also showed me how much they knew of their own products). I tried for days to figure out what was going on and the only fix was to hard reset the device again and install all my apps on one by one and ensure that my MMS system was working. Once i got everything set back up and ensured that everything was working properly I ray Sprite Backup and made a backup of the working rom. This may not be the same case for you but if you google it you'll find that when this happened to others a hard reset was the only fix. Good luck.

I fixed the problem by doing a master reset, what I was trying to avoid. It was a pain my rear end because I had so much custom things done in the registry and having to do all that again was so annoying. I am able to s/r mms messages again. Weird.

Just an update, shortly after master reset it happened again. I uninstalled programs one by one and found that one of poorlyducks vista skins was causing the issue. It was the audio manager skin or the vista dialer can't remember which one. After I uninstalled them I was able to see picture messages again. I even installed it again to confirm and it was the culprit. Heads up guys
