cannot receive picture text - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
Hope all you are having a great 2011! I just noticed that my x10i cannot receive picture text. When I received the picture text, it popped up like a normal text, however, instead of displaying the picture, it says "message cannot be downloaded". Have anyone experienced the same problem? I had my data traffic disable because I do not have data plan, but after enabling the data traffic, it still does not download. Is there something in the setting that I need to enable in order to receive the picture texts? Thanks for all the help!!

In which country?
Try using automatic settings. Go to settings and click on Sony Ericsson at the top of the page. It should download it automatically. Make sure your WiFi is off.

Hello,
I'm from the United States. I tried pressing the settings download - download settings for internet and MMS and it asked me to select my provider, which is t-mobile. After selecting the provider, it says that settings could not be download. What should I do? Thanks

Data not working (Rogers)

Hey guys, I have an Xperia x10a, got it from someone who had rogers. I decided to debrand and root it. That seemed to work out fine. Now I am trying to get the 3g to work, and it just doesn't seem to.
I have added APN settings for two different variations.
One was internet.com, the other was rogers-core-appl1.apn, neither work. I am trying to get a hold of rogers tech but they seem to have no clue whats going on.
Here is my info:
X10a
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband - 1.1.31
Build - R2Ba026
This is driving me nuts, but I cant seem to get it working.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.

All I seem to get is network errors. Not really sure what to do, enter all the info, enabled the APN from the menu, wifi works fine, but it just doesnt seem to work. The auto select network detects rogers, but the settings just dont seem to work.
Thanks.

I am very sorry guys, apparently rogers had a block on the data for some apparent reason. For some reason the first couple tech representatives didn't tell me there was a block.
Thank you those settings worked perfectly.
Didn't mean to waste anyones time.
Thank You.

No worries that is what we are here for to help! I have asked my fair share of questions and gotten sound advice. So it was my chance to give back.

this did not work for me. I even tried switching the 216 and 261 under both proxies in case it was a typo
My Vibrant doesn't have a "MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0" field... It does have an "Authentication type" field, but the only options are:
1) None
2) PAP
3) CHAP
4) PAP or CHAP
That's it.
Also, I should note that I CAN send/receive MMS when sent to myself; but if I send an MMS to someone else it shows up blank and if they send an MMS to me it says "Downloading" then it fails (without a message) and presents a "Download" button which ends up doing nothing.
My Vibrant is doing the same thing. I upgraded to the official t-mobile leaked 2.2 and since doing so I have not been able to receive any picture MMS. I can send them just fine but when I receive them it just says downloading and it never downloads. I entered in all that info for the APN and what not and set the proxy nothing works any ideas? Help some chick sent me a bunch of nudies last night and I could not receive them hehe must fix
Anyone found an answer to this Q? Im running stock 2.2 .. but guess i need to root and try a ROM
I know this is late..but hope it helps someone in the future
Hey guys, when it just says downloading and never shows the pic...
What i did that worked was to go into settings of your messages area and under the MMS settings turn off "auto-retrieve" - this starts downlaoding the pic as soon as you recieve the message.
Now that its off, there should be a button in the MMS message that says download (you have to do it manually now). When you press it, the pic should pop right up.
Hope this helps, BTW im using a Samsung Vibrant -
Key phrase for search:
Samsung Vibrant
MMS messages just say "downloading"
just says downloading MMS messages
How to fix
APN settings MMS fix Vibrant
This is something that's worked on my Vibrant when trying out new ROMs and the MMS isn't working. Download "Contacts Clean-Up" free from the Market. Leave the 1 in Country Code and whatever your area code is in the Area Code field is and click on the last selection +XXXYYYZZZZZZZ then hit Preview and Apply. Let the app do it's thing and then try sending and receiving MMS pictures again. It's worked for me. There's a thread already out there about this same issue and that's where I found this solution. Lemme know if this works for you guys.
Tried both (auto retrieve and contact clean) and it is still not working. I rember when i was on 2.1 and i talked to Tmo for about 2 hours until they asked me to do a wipe and that seem to have "cured" the issue, and then after installing 2.2 same problem. I would hate to wipe and start over. Any good recomendations on backups that will save my pics/music and my apps (plus settings for those aps) that are free?
I'm having the same problem
Did you guys find a solution?
I use to be able to recieve picture texts, but randomly the past few months it just says "downloading" but never does.
I tried switching from auto to manual, same thing.
Any other suggestions?
I'm running on stock rooted/deodexed KB5 2.2
Editing this post, I got it to work!
So what I had to do was what the person above said, switch from auto retrieve to manual, but it still didn't work. Then I switched from wifi to 3G, and it started to work.
I guess you can't download mms on wifi?
Hey bro, try this: go to messaging app, tap the menu key, press settings, scroll down to MMS portion of the settings, uncheck auto-retrieve. Hope this helps!

Issue on bell
Not sure if this will help but I went from an Iphone and was use to sending pictures from the gallery so when I went to on the atrix same thing went to pictures chose to share and the only option was text message (no mms option) it asked if I wanted to resize and wether I did or not it only sent the text not the photo. The only way I found to send the pic is to chose insert inside the acutual messaging app (havent tried with handcent) yet.
The setting mentioned earlier are more than likely the issue as you would have to set them manualy.
quick question, coming from the iphone using bitesms. with the handcent quickcompose or even with chompsms is there a way to have favorites show up as default in the list upon oppening the quickcompose as they do on bitesms really miss that feature

Call AT&T. Once again another fail by them: they automatically switch your texting plan if it isn't available any more. I had the 200 plan, and they basically switched it without telling me, and they messed it up. I just called them and setup a 1500 plan.

Can't send/receive picture mail

Hi for my xperia x10 I can't receive or send picture mail. I used to be able to get them and I'm not too sure how to fix this; and wifi isn't part of the problem. When I got to send picture mail it would just hit up edge/gsm/etc.
My apn is set up correctly; so I don't know what's going on. It just switched all of a sudden:
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
bump bump bump
anyone know?
You need to have your APN set up if you haven't. Mainly the MMS part. Also you may need to enable data in order for it to work, unless your ROM has an option to allow MMS with data off.
I have mine set off already.
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
It used to work without me enabling data. >__>
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem before and what I did was download the apn settings using the SE settings download.

Help I cant send mms

Can someone please help me on how I can send mms via my android htc mytouch 4g slide? Ive configured the network settings, I can receive mms just fine but I cant send any pics that I take from my camera. Im using Vodafone australia and Ive gone to their website and retrieved the network settings and configured my device hence I can receive them just fine but just cant send.I dont get no error it seems to go ok but none of my friends say theyve gotten them. At first I thought cause its a 8megapixel camera the attachment might be too big, the pics are about 1mb. I remember my last phone I always had to compress the image to about 600kb to send it. Anyway I changed the resolution of my camera to the lowest setting and the pic was 24kb but they still didnt get that mms. I dont get it, what gives?
I've noticed this on some phones, try a different sms app such as go sms. It might work better as if I recall correctly it has some additional mms settings such as message size and includes workarounds for some known mms problems.

Hoi,
did your check your settings for mms-server and mms-port in your settings ?
Otherwise post them, so we can find out where the problem is.

try to active/unactive 3G, sometimes it's fixed for me.
As for sending MMS I use app called Handcent. Try it, it is free (and for me the best solution for SMS and MMS)
I am having the same problem. I can receive pics but I can't send them.
I have US T-mobile and here are my APN settings:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: (ht)(tp)://mms(dot)msg(dot)eng(dot)t-mobile(dot)com/mms/wapenc <-(I cant post links but you get it.)
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: Not set
Also I've tried a couple other messaging apps like gosms and handcent. But they didn't help.
Do you have mobile data services switched ON? Even when I am on Wifi Network, I have to switch my 2G/3G ON to send MMS.
