What carrier is the sender on? AFAIK, MMS works to and from Sprint numbers.
The person is on Sprint. So, basically you're saying if anyone from Sprint sends me a MMS that it will email me the picture but no other carrier?

I get an email of the picture or audio if someone sends a MMS to my Google Voice number. I didn't think that the app was able to receive them.

Yea. Google and Sprint have agreements in place for Google Voice. Sprint users can also port their numbers to Google Voice directly without having to have a separate carrier number.
I use Google Voice and get pics to my phone with BOOST Mobile
I have my Gvoice settings set to:
Forward copy of my texts to gmail.
Some smaller ones do, some larger ones do not. I am almost certain that thumbnail sized simple jpegs will usually go to your smartphone.
Regardless, as long as you have this option, and an internet enabled phone, you may still be able to manually log into your gmail account to view any MMS messages that don't go to your phone. Audio and video too.

but you are on sprint, right?
I receive images to my email regardless of carrier. I have gotten them from ATT, Sprint, Verizon and T-mobile accounts. I still can't send them out. I have to email any images.
When I first started using GVoice I was not able to receive any MMS texts. Then at some point the MMS texts came to my GMail. Then later on the GVoice app started doing what the OP said. I guess now GVoice can receive MMS texts and it notifies you on Gvoice but sends the media portion of it to your GMail.
ya on any phone i've used google voice ive never gotten mms at all. I'm using page plus as my carrier

I'm receiving emails just fine to my phone for my ntlworld email address, in fact, they get to my phone before they are received on my pc which is normally a few moments later. But when I send emails, it says 'sending..' then disappears so I'd assume it's sent but none of my sent emails appear in my phone's sent folder, the folder is blank and always has been. Also, I sent a test email to myself, to my ntlworld account, same thing, nothing showing in sent folder, and it hasn't arrived as email on my pc. I sent it hours ago, so it's not sending. What could be wrong?
What email client are you using, Stock or else? Try to check the Outgoing server setting, must be something messed up there.
Regards.

Stock. Well, only outgoing setting I can find is at the top of this screenshot 'Default Account'. Is there some other setting?

Oh, and this is my sent folder. Blank.
What? There must be an Outgoing setting option, it should be listed under the Incoming setting!!! Press Menu, is it there?

When I press 'Incoming settings' it goes to a screen showing my 'User name' which is my ntlworld.com email address, and 'Password', and when I click 'Next' which is the only option to press, it goes to a screen saying 'Retrieving account information...' then goes back to the Account settings screen.
Man then your email server mustn't support IMAP/POP3, but what would it support then, lol? There HAS to be an Outgoing Settings option, otherwise it's quite normal that email's are not being sent. Hope you find your answer by someone experienced else.
Going to sleep, GN and BOL.

It seems virgin media who my ntlworld email address is with, doesn't support sending emails, or didn't used to and it would seem, still don't.
http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Unable-to-Access-NTLWorld-emails-on-iPhone/td-p/3575
I think I've found the solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646856
I need to do:
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.t-email.co.uk
But, I can't seem to find where to adjust my settings? Maybe I need to delete my email account for ntlworld and start again?
try removing you account and setting it up with manuel settings...

Ye did that, and tried both smtp.t-email.co.uk and smtp.ntlworld.com on different port numbers but it won't work, says 'server does not support authentication'. I tried it with pop3 and also imap. It seems ok for incoming, just not for smtp.
So I've now set up my gmail email on the phone with the automatic settings and not the manual settings, and it lets me send emails which is great. But how do I now associate my ntlworld account with it so I can forward all mail received at the gmail account to my ntlworld account? Do I need to delete the gmail account and set it up again using manual settings, and with imap or pop3? Currently, I have both my ntlworld email account still on the phone and the gmail account. I can still receive email to my ntlworld account.
I read this on android forum:
"Had to set up a separate gmail account to send and using the smtp.gmail.com server. Then simply go into the gmail account settings (which u have to anyway to enable IMAP) and forward all mail received at the gmail account to your ntlworld account..a pain but easy way round the problem.
Forwarding covers the problem of recipients replying to your gmail emails; which obviously is the address they receive the message from.
You wont receive replies from them directly to your ntlworld address. They'll go to the gmail account. Set up forwarding on gmail to ntlworld address to resolve it."
Like the topic says, all my voicemails play on speaker phone and i can't figure out how to change it
Extremely annoying.
Anyone else?
Please don't tell me to use Google voice. If i wanted to id be using it already

btothec is using VVM. You are using AT&T Messaging, a different app. There's nothing in the settings about playing messages? For the day I used it I got a VM that was converted to text, but it didn't play on my speaker.

hmm i see
wheres this ATT messaging app that gives a transcript of the voicemail message?
You can get it in the market. I uninstalled it because I didn't like the way it took over SMS messaging. Once you install it you lose VVM on the account and have to call CS to get stock VVM back, though, so be aware of that.

That "AT&T Messages" app actually came pre-installed on my Note. I ignored it, though, and chose to sideload the VVM apk instead.
(I use the GO SMS app for text messaging).

The "AT&T Messages" app handles both text messages and visual voicemail, so the stand-alone sms messaging app no longer handles your text messages. Make sense?

It's FREE on any properly provisioned AT&T LTE device, and $2.99 per month on their 3G devices.

It does take over as VVM and it does display a unified inbox of all messaging. But it doesn't take over SMS/mms from the messaging application. You can still use that or Go SMS or any other if you want...but while AT&T Messages is installed you will get the orange notification in the status bar.

Whenever a certain friend sends a text to me I get it as a MMS msg instead of just a normal SMS. Is that because he is doing something wrong? I get normal txts from my wife from her I phone. What's the reason for this?

That's weird I send regular texts and group chats with iphone users and never have that problem. Try clearing the cache for both apps or freeze the stock messaging app.
If I try a send a text and select 2 contacts this shows up:

I would guess you are being sent a txt athat is being sent to other users. I am guessing its due to the phone being "compatible" that its showing as mms

That's what I thought but if that was the case he would be receiving replies from other people. I personally use gosms for group texting so Idk how stock works
I know for awhile there iPhone to android and vice versa was having issues. Don't know if they ever fully figured it out. They being apple or google. I don't have any I-friends lol so I can't test for ya. But if your getting the message I wouldn't worry over much.

i personally was able to group mms with 2 iphone users on the stock messaging app but now i use the gosms app because it has emojis and you know how iphone users love their emojis....
this happens all the time to me. Whenever one of my friends initiates a text message to multiple persons from his iphone, it shows up on my end as a multimedia message. Whenever one of my iphone friends sends me just a one-on-one text message it shows up as a regular SMS.
I see this problem more often when I don't clear out messages from the recipient in a conversation. Last night I started seeing it happen real bad and I noticed there were about 200 messages in the conversation so I deleted the thread and the problem went away.
I do hate the problem though, I always receive "multimedia message, press <here> to download" and then you have to wait.
So the other day my friends group message me with their iPhones and normally I never got group messages with an Android device and stayed within the chat. Well today I been group messaging on my iPhone friends and participating on the shenanigans with the stock sms app did I miss something. This is kind of crazy if you ask me I never thought Android would ever integrate with imessage? This was 1 thing I hated when switching to an android from iPhone. But it's freakin working!!!

sorry to burst your bubble, the messages app will automatically send a normal SMS when they can't send an iMessage and receive an sms from a normal phone.that is why sometimes their texts are blue in bubble, indicating an iMessage was sent, and green, indicating a normal sms.
you are just replying to all and your friends are just sending to everyone else. there is no integration.
The thing is it never kept us in the same chat thread before when I get the SMS deal verses I message but it still feels like we're all group chatting and keeping it in the same thread verses multiple text messages are separate

You are group chatting, but technically it is just sending the same SMS to everyone.
There is no way to communicate with Apple's iMessage app.
Figured either way it looks like its working no android ever kept group chats like this it always busted out into different SMS threads Lol it even does it in there phones as well.

I was quite excited when I saw they finally have a group chat rather than a bunch of separate text messages. Great addition!
Use GroupMe app, Android and ios compatible across platforms, use from anything connected via network or even wi-fi (I connect via an ipod touch) direct messages, groups, ect... enjoy

I bought a View tablet a week ago!
and i been using it, as a phone since then ,with a $35 sprint data plan , and WIFi at home or wherever wifi is available.
Working: outgoing calls , incoming calls and text messages!
---how to make it work?
this tutorial is to make the Evo View ( maybe HTC Flyer too ) Working as a Cellphone
1. - A Google phone number ( very Important ) this will be your phone number.
2. - Gingerbread rom, maybe HC, I tested with HC and CM10, but the quality of voice works best in GB (viperboy Redline v1 rom works great)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408743
Download link, View users only.: http://d-h.st/5087dkknj38h/viperROM_Redline_v1_View.zip
(Flyer users can try this with any Flyer GB or HC Rom. )
3.- Google Voice App,Download it from play store, ( for text messaging)
sign in to google voice follow the steps of the application, it will not ask you for a verification number, since this is a tablet
now! you good to go, you can send and receive text messages via google voice app. With Your Google voice number .
-you can't send pictures with google voice, only texts-
4.- Spare Phone, ( paid app, $2.99 ) download it from play store ( for incoming and outgoing calls) supports 3g/4g and Wifi connections for make phone calls
- sign in with your gmail and password, and you will see all your gmail contacts,
setup the aplication the way you want for make and receive calls.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ndWlkb2xvZ3kuc3BhcmVwaG9uZSJd
Dont use Grooveip , Spare Phone app, works a lot better. and you will be available to see call log, gmail contacts and phone keypad
5.- bluetooth headset?
-Now you are ready to make and receive text messages and phone calls.
if you have 3g/4g connection , you can get calls and text messages wherever you are.
Everything with your Google Phone Number.

i been using this with my View 4g and my Google Phone Number , and works great I put my original phone number in standby with sprint. only $8.99 for month plus $34.99. Of data plan for my Evo VIEW
well, this is not actually what people would expect
because google voice is a VOIP service, it makes calls over the internet instead of using the actual phone function of the View.
but, this could be one alternative way to makes calls using your View
*** currently, google voice only available in the US.
so, for ppl outside the US (like me) wont be able to use this service

I'll make an update later, about how to get an USA phone number without forwarding phone number from sprint.
And how to make it work outside of USA.
but yeah calls and texts will only work with usa phones numbers and Canada I think Puerto Rico too.
but you will be available to call to usa or they can call you wherever country you are. With Your Google phone number.
