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.

I receive mesaages just fine, but my messages are stuck 'sending'. this is with handcent and default messaging. Also, i am unable to download pictures that i receive..nor do people get the ones i send...what gives. Had no issues on 1.6
Also, sense i am on the subject, anyway to make handcent look like the default messenger?

If you are not receiving it sounds like there is a problem with your phone account, phone your network operator and check that they haven't put a bar on your account (for late payment etc). MMS issue sounds like you don't have the right APN for your network, either use the Sony Ericsson set-up wizard to get the right settings or get your network operator to send them to you.

I'm hearing ya mate, probably 1 in 10 messages "cannot send" but is ok if i retry sending .
a strange glitch....thought i was on my own here
I had it too. I just restarted the phone and now it's working again. No idea what caused it.
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.
I'm having trouble with my MMS on AOSP ROMS. I'm currently on a CM11 rom and whoever I send pics to don't receive them, or they'll get the pic half a day later..But I can receive mms just fine though. I've experimented with both APN ipv4 and ipv6. Same behavior using a GPE rom. Anybody else having this issue?
Check the "request Delivery Reports" option in MMS settings and make sure the message size has a max of 300k or 500k. ATT doesn't allow high res pics to go across their network and for some reason MMS doesn't send for me either unless I request a delivery report. It's annoying but I can send MMS. Hope this helps friend!

I'm having a problem with MMS messages. Whenever I try to receive MMS messages I get this error:
Message not downloaded
Generic network failure
I flashed a new version of the ROM I'm running, and confirmed that the APN settings are correct. When I am going from zero text messages this is not a problem. When I restore my 17k text messages, I suddenly cannot receive MMS. Is there something I need to do in order to fix this? I've seen this happen with three different roms so I'm guessing this is an android issue and not something specific.
FYI, I flattened the phone back to stock. Then I installed a custom rom but no restored messages and I can't receive mms messages again.
Can you send?

I can send and receive text messages but not MMS messages. If I try to send a picture it fails.

I have the same issue, and it's intermittent. What I have found is stopping the mms service from settings, apps, all and restarting fixes it for a bit.

I think I might have just found a solution to the issue, at least for me. I had Ad Block installed, and when I uninstalled it, MMS was functional again.
I've owned the international version of the z5c since it was released. I use it on AT&T in the U.S. For the last few weeks I have not been able to send or receive MMS picture messages. When I try to send one, I just get a red error that says something like "could not send. Touch to retry." If I touch to retry, I get the same message again.
When I receive an mms, instead of automatically loading the picture, I get a box that says "touch to download" but then I just get an error message if I touch to download.
Until several weeks ago, both sending and receiving worked fine.
I'm not aware of having made any changes that might've broken something.
Any ideas? Anybody else on AT&T experiencing similar issues?

No issues here, using nxtgenphone APN and Textra with MMS carrier limit = 1MB, MMS Behavior = Legacy.

Thanks. I'm using Google messenger. Maybe I'll try a different app.
I've tried both "phone" and "nxtgenphone" apns and both do the same thing.

Update: I did a factory reset and mms are working now with the stock Sony messaging app. I'll use that for a few days to make sure it's still working and then switch back to Google messenger.
