Is there a way I can get a message sent notification for when I send picture mail but not text messages? I dont have data and I wanna know when the pic has completely sent so I can shut off my data connection.

Vodafone have recently been charging me for text messages, even though I'm within my limit.
I emailed them, and they said some texts/calls are chargable. One of the charges was for "Picture messages, long texts etc"
Now, I often do send long texts (although I always have done and have never been charged before...)
My question is, does the Hero split long texts up into two messages on the recipient's phone, or does it send it as MMS?
Wassup Looie..
If they go over a cetain limit... i think its 4+ texts.. it will convert it to a MMS and sent it that way instead of 4 split texts.
I just tried texting some1 with 4 pages worth of text.. and it refuses to send i dont think i have MMS set up. But i remember sum1 text me a long message, and i recieved a 1kb MMS msg instead of texts. So maybe thats why they're charging u!

yeah, I've never sent a text message over 4 texts, especially not 30 times!
Guess I'm going to have to ring up again
Thanks
Hey guys,
Just got my SGS2 lastnight and need a hand with a possible problem sending picture messages on AT&T. Please forgive me if there is something really simple that I am missing cause this is my first Android phone and I've had all 45 minutes to test it.
Went through all the standard test just to make sure the phone was working. Phone call, voicemail, texting, etc. I can receive a text message containing a picture but for some reason I can not send one.
Snapped a picture with camera, selected photo and picked message. Select contact and hit send. Text message starts to upload with photo but then times out and stops.
Is there a setting I need to enable? Does anyone know if AT&T is capping pic size? Thanks in advance for the help.
Mine works. It just says compressing image, then it will compress and i click on send with no problems. Do you have 3G, H, or H+ in your status bar? Also how is your signal strength(bars) in the area that you are using the phone in. @ my job where the signal is crap, it will attempt to send a photo for about 30 minutes, then tell me it was unsuccessful. Try to be in a good service spot with 2-3 bars of 3G, H, or H+ and send a photo. It should work. Do you have web & messaging on your account with ATT?

yes the limit on mms pic size is 600k but the messaging app asks to resize it for you automatically. if you dont see the resize pop up then maybe that is your problem.
best thing to do is just install handcent and test out sending pic messages with that. gives you way more configure options anyway to help get your mms working.
Just took a new picture and sent it to a buddy with a iphone4. He got this time but I've never seen the residing message. I think i must have messed something up lastnight when i linked the photo to the message because i definitely had 3G/H+. I'll have to do some more testing but thanks for the help and the alternate app. In the meantime, if anyone knows what would prevent the auto-resize. Let me know.

i received an MMS that keeps saying, "downloading".. but it never downloads. how do i fix this so that it gives me the option to download again?
I've had this happen when trying to receive pics and large texts via mms. Check your settings in the mms application. There might be a filter setting which is prohibiting larger downloads. Or try having the sender resend the mms, I've had them download after it was sent a second time.

Running cm7.2 official rom and wondering if rom auto sends and receives mms. If not is there a kernel update or other update I can flash to fix this. I would really prefer it auto send and receive. Thanks in advance.
what do you mean by auto send and receive? all ROMs receive MMS and SMS automatically when they are sent to that phone. i'm not quite sure what you are asking
I have a mot bravo running an unofficial cm7 build, when sending or receiving mms, mobile data is automatically turned on and off. This way my data is off so I don't have to worry about usage but still receive mms.
MMS and normal data use different APN settings.

Yes they do, I'm trying to say that on my moto bravo, when sending a MMS message, I attach the picture to text and then hit send. After hitting send the mobile data icon appears in the status bar and the message w/ pic is sent. When someone sends me a pic, my mobile data icon appears automatically and the pic is ready when I view the message. On the atrix 4g, this doesn't happen. If I want to send a pic I have to turn on mobile data before making the MMS so that when I hit send, it is sent out. Also, if someone sends me a pic, when opening the message there is a button labeled download that I must hit after making sure my mobile data is turned on for pic to be downloaded. I like the way the bravo ROM handles the MMS better.
I hope this is clear enough now.
