Tilt: Viewmymessage.com

Heya.
I did a little research and finally noticed that I would never get picture messages, and I heard this is a problem with the Iphone as well. But i figure with the Tilt I should be fine. Why do my picture messages not work and it directs me towards ATT's Viewmymessage.com website? Any help? Thanks everyone! -Jeff

The iPhones does not have mms capability, but the Tilt does. You should check with AT&T if everything is correctly provisioned in their system. I have a Tilt and I get picture messages fine.
Hope this helps!

bump anyone?

Jeff,
Do you know what type of messages are being sent that you cannot receive? MMS, email, other? I have no idea what viewmymessage.com is but on the front page it says...
If you received a text message directing you to this site, then someone has sent you a multimedia message.
To view your message, enter the personal password that was included in your text message.

When you try that does it work?
I have AT&T also and have gotten MMS messages from Verizon and AT&T users without an issue. Maybe this viewmymessage.com service is related to where the message is originating from?

Hello.
I thought is was because of their service providers as well, but I've tried with people from T-mobile, Verizon and ATT and I always received the message without the pic..
It's a MMS, so it's a picture within a txt. I was reading online how this is setup because the iphone cannot received mms, so for the iphone they created this website to view photos within the txt.. But, I cannot understand for the life of me why I cant see pictures in my text's.

Interesting. Maybe AT&T thinks you have an iPhone? Are you on their iPhone plan? Also log onto your account and make sure your phone there isn't listed as the iPhone.

sounds to me like that's what the other persons phone is sending you to. nothing to do with your tilt. Like you could have a rzr and still see the same message. i get mms fine on my tilt with at&t

Yea I'm going to have to call them. It's def not the people sending it to me. I've gone online and ATT is showing me that I have a Tilt on their website, I'm just gonna give them a ring and see whats up.

I am sure this is a provisioning issue. I just called AT&T because of this and sms not getting to my phone and it was because of the way they setup my account. I am sure you will have this fix shortly.

Figured it out I think. I have a W810I registered with ATT because the net is cheaper on that phone. I only use my tilt 4 days out of the week and just dont use net on it those 4 days, cus 30 bucks is expensive. So i opted to just use my w810i for 15 bucks a month. I remember when i called they had to change the MAE or EMI whatever number to the old sony ericson, thats why they are not appearing correctly. This will be interesting...

Picture Text

I have searched the forum and I keep finding sources that say you have to have data plan and use the e-mail function in order to send pictures. Am I missing something or is the TILT capable of sending picture texts? It seems sort of ridiculous for such an expensive phone to not have such a basic capability. Sorry if this is a retarded question but I cant seem to find the answer on the forum.

You don't need a data plan to send MMS. aka Picture text.

but it does access media net to send MMS if im not mistaken, so its not free, at least thats what Cingular reps say...LOL

alright i feel dumb asking this question but the only way i can seem to send a picture is through e-mail. how exactly do you send the picture text? i dont see the option through the texting

^ Messages>Menu>New>Multimedia Message

all hail strike one
i now feel at least 50% stupider than before because that was pretty obvious. thanks a lot strikeone

Keep one thing in mind when using MMS. Pictures & text cannot exceed 600k. It has something to do with AT&T's OTA servers or something.

to vampire2800
so i tried to send the picture text and it seemed that i had to connect to the gsm network in order to send it. i have picture text in my plan but no data plan, is there any way i can do this for free without having to get on the network?

It will temporarily connect to Media Net. Don't worry, as soon as it's finished sending/recieving it will disconnect. If you have a picture messaging package, then any picture message less that 600k is free for you, unless it's sent to someone not on AT&T. I've been doing it for years & trust me, I don't get billed for internet usage. I promise!

thanks again vamp!

No problem, bro. That's why we're here.

^ yep, no problem .

Lets put it like this. When you send a picture, you do in fact access the internet. It is called a MMS (Multi Media Message). AT&T says as long as you have a SMS plan that allows MMS to send and receive, you will not get charged. However there is a size limit of 600k. As for my tilt, I keep the internet disabled. I Am too cheap for a data plan right now. I only enable my data when I know a MMS message is coming. If you don't have an internet plan through AT&T you can have what they call pay as you go data. You get charged for the usage by KB (Kilobytes). With the tilt and how it likes to access the internet all the time, this can get pricey. Just a FYI...

Picture Mail not Working! Help!!!!!!!

Well, this would be my first official post. I'm a newbie . I just bought my Diamond about one week ago and I like it alot. I'm a convert from Verizon. Loved the service but not the price plans so I switched. I get so much more with Sprint for the price. Anyway, when I first got it the internet connection would not work. Called techs and they fixed that problem. Set up email, Wifi, pic mail, and pic mail service and all other stuff. Except pic mail does not work or it only half works. I can send or upload to my sprint pic account website, but I can't receive pic mail. I see the uploads and pics from my friends but it doesn't send them to my phone. So, like WTH . Anyways, I can't receive from the website or from my friends who are on Sprint. Talked to a tech and she said I would have to set my email up and pic mail up and I did. I had to do something else and she said she would call me back, but never did. Kinda pissed about that. Any clues or the like would be helpful? Like I said I can send, upload, and receive on the web account but not receive from the web or from my friends phones on Sprint. If anybody had a similar problem or fixed it their own way before calling the techs let me know? I want the pic mail to fully work.

i have a simimliar problem i cant send/receive mms messages from my girlfriend who has verizon and i have ATT. i jsut got my diamond about 5 days ago

I was reading other threads/posts and sometimes it depends on the network and the quality or size of the picture, video, etc. she is sending to you. The higher the resolution or larger the file, the longer it takes. The lower the quality or smaller the file the shorter it takes. Sometimes the networks regulate the size of what you send. Hope this helps.

The weird thing is that Cybertoads and my mutual friend also has a Diamond and on his everything works perfectly fine. At first it literally took 2 weeks for a picture mail to arrive on my phone after sending it from his, but downloading the Picture mail update from Sprint seemed to have fixed that issue, now he can send and receive them no problem. I have a Sprint Touch, and I have no problem either sending and receiving pictures.
Anyone else have the problem that Cybertoad is encountering?

Possible Solution: sMMS App
I've had the same problem, I've had my Diamond since it came out months ago and I've tried several times to get picmail working. Just last night I came across this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22509 [the first post has a lot of details about the app.] Read through that and you can download the program and try it out, I really liked it and donated the $5 through paypal like the creator suggested and I was surprised by how quickly I was able to register and get the full version up and running [and you get a lifetime license for that donation]. So far, I've gotten sending picmail working just fine with this program. Receiving is another matter, and it's an issue that seems to only be on the Diamond and the Touch Pro. Typically on Sprint phones that can't get regular MMS, they'll send a regular txt message with a link that you can click on and download the picture, they were able to get this program to intercept those txts and automatically download the picture like regular MMS is supposed to work. However, on the Diamond and Touch Pro, it does not send a txt with a link to the MMS since the native Sprint picmail app should be working (but they just can't seem to get it working at all!). They have wrote on their site [http://smms.vision5.com/] that they are working on that problem. In the meantime, in the app you can just click on your inbox and it'll sync all your recent new picmails right in the program, you don't need to go through the Sprint picmail site and you can view the pictures, download them to your phone, reply to the messages, etc. It's just a matter of how often you get picmail which would determine how often you should check for anything new. Alternatively, if you tell people that when they send you an MMS make sure they send a regular txt message telling you they sent the MMS, you'll be able to go into the program and check. This app seems way easier to use than the native Sprint one [if it even worked] and seems like these guys can get more things done in their free time than the developers over at Sprint who should have had this problem solved by now. It's also quite fast at sending the pics [and notifies you when it's done sending] and you can set if you want the pictures resized before being sent.
Hope that helps.
Feel free to contact me if you need any help,
Matt

Thanks for the info Matt.

No Problem

sending attachments over email.

Hi, have been trying to solve this issue for a couple of days now, basically i can receive attachments; save them etc, but when it comes to sending or forwarding the email on it wont send, any idea why?and if there is a way to fix it?
the files are small, even a pic i took on the phone doesnt work.
any help would be appreciated.

Yet another MMS issue with froyo.

so my girlfriend has an iphone and i of course have the nexus... everytime i snap a picture and send it to her, her phone tells her that the picture is to big blah blah blah... i never had this problem with my previous rom... anyone else running into this issue? is there something in the settings that need to be changed? or in the camera settings?

she could be running out of space on her iphone?

Yes
(10 char)

I've had this happen at least three times over the past week, and only when sending mms to friends on at&t.. they get error messages saying either the file is too big or components of the file may be unsuitable for their terminal.. any other friend on any other carrier gets the mms without a problem

AT&T limits the file size of MMS, just like any other carrier... usualy the carriers system will resize any oversized file on its own, but they might be deciding not to play nice, or have an issue right now with the system.
Try sending a MMS to her that is small, say 300K max, and see what that does for you.

I have had this exact same problem. My gf too has an iphone, i've found that when i send her a picture i use email and vice versa. Plus there is no picture downsizing thus no quality loss

I posted about this on my mytouch and my nexus. As I recall the response was that I should change my UAstring to "iphone" I thought that setting was only for browser but mms to iPhones worked after and even after I changed the setting back to android or even desktop.
So I don't know if it was just a coincidence but its something you could try. I tried sending to about 4 different iPhone 3g and 3g's so I don't think it was a particular iPhone problem. Also I don't think I ever had problems on my g1...

Is her iPhone on T-Mobile? It could be a problem with the mms settings, same thing happened with my wife's iPhone once.
