Since Ive been flashing roms I keep having this delimma where I cannot send picture messages. Meaning when I send the picture messages they are somewhere stuck in limbo and the recipent doesnt get them or they send a picture to me and I never get them.
When i find a ROM that does allow me to recieve picture messages it doesnt matter because the rom only allows me a measily 12mb to run my phone and after 1-2 pictures im out of memory. I just updated ArcsoftMMS to the newest version but that only managed to completly diable my picture sending availability. Can anyone help me with this?
ok so NOONE knows? I dont believe it.

hey guys.
something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.
anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

Try flashing Mitchy's rom.
the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.
unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk?
i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?
im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.
ciao!
if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem
since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.
those programs might be good,
but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.
making your SMS useless.
so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.
yay! time to buy a new one the perfect excuse
hey allgamer,
what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.
i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.
messaging comes back if i remove memorycard
the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.
another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.
anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.
UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.
ciao!
ive searched the forums and everything else to try and fix this but i cant find anything. they either dont work or they are for wm roms....so if you guys would be so kind to either help me out or send me in the right direction of how to fix the mms problem that a lot of people are having, that would be great...i really dont like receiving 27kb pictures becuse thats really just about three pixels and you cant see crap... thank you if you can help me
SAME HERE...I can recieve but the quality is poor. I need help bad this is my only problem. I've tried apn setting and radio... If anyone in the MS, AL, FL area could give your apns and maybe that would work
Wow same here! I have searched all over the net and have not found anything. I'm running Cyanogen 2.2 build of gingerbread 2.3. Everything works perfect except quality of mms pics, and caller ID pics. HELP!!!!
i found this
"This is due to tmobile not being able to identify the phone and because of such is limiting MMS size to 2kb or something? I am currently looking for a fix to this..have not seen anything. Thankfuly the pics you send are recieved in full resolution"
i know its not an answer.. but at least its a why.

Hey than you very much for posting that. Its so frustrating that this is happening. I hope there is a fix soon.
mms fix !!
hey i just downloaded an app from the android market that seems to fix the small mms picture rec problem , its called GO sms from " GO dev team" its a free app and actually piggybacks on the orig htc mms app, so you will actually run both apps at once (its the way they designed it) im running 2.2 froyo and the pictures are rec great!! you hav to do one thing though to make it run perfectly you hav to go into your phone settings and DISABLE the auto retrieve setting , thats right DISABLE, i had to play around with the settings foe 2 hours before i figured it out , and if you use the GO sms apps to download the rec mms pictures it works great!! hope this helps !
Hey, so, I haven't really cared much about this, but it's gotten annoying lately.
Sometimes, when I send/receive a picture message, it doesn't send/receive.
All I get is a text from T-Mobile. (I think?)
It's;
Sender: 202
Message: Your MMS message could not be delivered. Invalid Prepaid account.
First, no, I am not on a prepaid account.
Second, I did search around, not much I could find.
Third, I tried sending a picture message to myself and whatnot.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ya, that sounds like a T-Mobile thing. Have you tried reflashing your current rom? Or going back to stock?

I did a live chat with them, they made me remove my sim card and give them some info, but it didn't fix anything. I'll try calling tomorrow maybe.

I've flashed a lot of ROMS and been on stock, same error. No idea what's wrong.
By the way, enjoy your free 'thanks,' I missed the multiquote button by a long shot, ahah.
Does it happen with every mms you send or specific number?

It happens with just a few MMS I send/receive, not always. And no, it's not always the same, specific number. Although, I do text a certain number more often than most, still. I considered being their phone, but I doubt it because it happens on other numbers/texts.
Go into your contact you know you cannot send to and edit the number to +11234567890.
Go back to your mms and delete the current thread of that contact if any and the try to resend the picture.
A lot of the time this will fix the sms/mms but I have never heard of the text being sent back from tmobile.

yeah like everyone said either reflash your rom or call tmobile
I've seen a few people ask about how to increase the MMS file size limit so I figured I'd post up this easy way to do it.
Download GoSMS from the market if you don't already have it installed
(I've attached Screenshots for you to follow along)
Go to Settings, click the "Advanced" tab, scroll down and click "MMS settings"
Click on "Maximum MMS size"
Set to desired file size limit.
Then press back button
Check the box to "Preserve image resolution"
And BAM, your done. Easy Peasy.
Even though I have no 4g here in Phoenix AZ, I usually have it set to 2M. It usually takes a little longer to send on 3G but I can confirm that it does in fact send.

Yeah check with the person who receives it how big of a file he gets if ever gonna get that massage unlikely so. What you send is not what you get even when send to yourself try it.

I have, and when I click on the image I sent myself or my girlfriends phone, it is not grainy and the pictures are nice and big, not almost thumbnail like.

My point is if you click on details info size would not be the same as they were sent

This is good, but trust me. A few years back, people were walking around the office taking video and sending inter-office e-mail. One I liked and tried to send via MMS to family. No good. I then took like 10 second video to send, same thing, no good as it was too big.
Take 15 hour video and attach to e-mail! Then send to:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
(whatever, you get my point!) but it does the same thing! The only thing bad with Sprint is, you do not have use of your phone while transmitting! My "15 hour video" comment was a joke (and you would be stupid to try it) I did like 2 minutes of HD and it tied up my phone for like 10 minutes or so? WiFi would likely be better?
Well that's a good point but when comes to sending an email attachment just use regular email and every smart phone is tight to email account anyway and accomplish is the same, the struggle is how to send mms and either the phone or provider on either site compresses the attachment.

Hey Guys.
I've been looking at how to do this for ages but...GoSMS is all well and good but, I like the stock SMS app...Its a little more...lets say, less "permisiony"...
But how can one do this change with the stick SMS app?? Is there an XML file you can edit?
Thanks.
Did you ever get any resolution to this? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google edition and definitely want to stick to the stock messaging app, but outgoing photos attached via SMS from the camera are compressed to garbage. They're tiny and horrifically artifacted... it's killing me.

No fix for this then? i just sent a text on my one plus and its 90kb, danggg
I just tried this on my VZW S4 and it seems to work for sure at 2mb. HOWEVER, when attaching pix it does not give any means to pick "gallery" so that I can pick images to attach from their files, instead, taking you straight to what appears identical to the factory installed "picture" app where all images are shotgunned onto a single HUGE page. Can this be fixed?
Other than that, I love the app as it does give a better detailed report with each post time and DATE stamped as well as a little green check to indicated received. The stock messaging doesn't do that and also will not allow you to request a read receipt without getting the same audible notice that you get when receiving a message.
I have a evo 3d and installed several different Roms but when I compose or reply to messages in secure box they are stuck with the time stamp and will not send till I move the messages back to main in box.
I have gotten same prob on several different Roms.
Not able to find any post regarding this issue by anyone else but hoping someone can help with fixing the problem.
Thank you
Currently I am on MeanROM.

Any help on this is appreciated.
Even if someone could just let me know it works on your phone or not?
Messages never get send if composed in the secure box. Have tried all avaiable rom's with this feature.
