Can't send or receive pictures?!? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone recently stopped allowing me to send/receive picture messages. I am rooted and on FireKat but that's not the issue because it worked fine for a while after that.
When I try to send a picture message, the preview pops up and the little rotating blue circle thing just keeps going around and around and around and they never send. When someone send me a picture message, it has a button to download the picture and then it fail every single time.
Any ideas? This is huge for me because me and my sons mother are always sending pictures back and forth of our little boy. I really need to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have searched the internet quite a bit and can't seem to find a solution.

I had the same issue and it seemed I was the only one.
What worked for me was disabling adblock plus and a clean reflash.
Hope this helps.

That adblock plus removal fixed it for me as well. Was bugging me to no end.

i have this same problem, cant recieve or send sms w/ emoticons or pictures. i uninstalled adblocker but the problem persists. could it be that i started using iMessage on an ipad?
edit:
it just sent. took a minute or two. removing adblocker works!

HTC Touch Diamond problems

I have had the HTC touch diamond for a few months. For the most part I have liked it but now I am having problems. I get freezes like alot of people have reported but it's nothing consistent just a annoyance that you have to remove the battery just to make everything work again.
Recently I couldn't use the phone, network was having problems so I thought. Called Sprint and they said the tower in my area(only 1) wasn't at 100% so they said that could be my problem. Couldn't send or recieve calls or text. They changed my msid and also said I could try updating my rom. I had 1.09, now I have 2.00.
My main problems has to do with texting and settings for texts not being saved. When I have a open conversation and a text comes in, it keeps saying that I have a text to read but I don't(I have already received the txt during the conversation). Only way to stop that is to click on the persons name/number or leave the conversation an use the up and down arrows to find the latest text then it stops saying I have a text. Before the 2.00 update, all I had to do was txt the person abck and the message would go away(meaning I had read the txt) or just leave the conversation.
I cannot get any settings to stay saved. I keep getting like auto correct,suggestion for words and capitalization for first letter. I have them turned off but they keep happening. It's extremely annoying and don't want or need any suggestions. Half the time it's not even giving me the right word and sometimes I have to type the word, delete it then retype the word for it to just be accepted. I am also getting slight pauses/freezes when I text. Most of these problems I believe are caused by the 2.00 rom update. I did not notice most of these except for the settings not being saved. I believe that has always been a problem.
I have tried a hard reset but that didn't fix anything. I thought it would give me back the 1.09 rom but it didn't. No matter what I do, I still have 2.00. So If I am stuck with it, I would liek to know if anyone can help with these problems.
The time isn't always right. Sometimes it says I sent my text an hour before or an hour later and i get texts the same way. It's just random, nothing consistent.
90 views but no replies. Can anyone help?
Sorry to hear that no one is helping you. I been looking around and can't find a viable solution for you.
Apparently with HTC's website, it's better not to downgrade your ROM. So if you want to keep your guarantees or waranty with the phone, take it back to Sprint and they should be able to help. Or contact HTC directly.
I think that will be the best thing to do as no one here suffers the same problem as you. Hence for the no feedback.
Good luck!

Problem receiving MMS (yes, I have data plan)

For a while now, I have been getting the notifications that I have an MMS message received. But when I go to retrieve it (through the notification dropdown) it just takes me to my messaging and it shows nothing new. Doesn't even show me who the message was from so I can maybe let them know I didn't get it.
Anyone else had this problem before or know how to fix it?
No one has approached me saying "hey, did u get my pic message" so it probably was just joke stuff that dint really matter, but it's still annoying not knowing what was sent. It's like the message just disappeared or something.
I remember it working just fine before rooting my phone 2 months ago.
I am currently running SuperD 1.93 but it has been happening since I first rooted, in which my first rom was CM 4.12.xxx
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Well, isn't a fix, but have you sat down with a friend and got them to text you to make sure? You might just be getting the random notification, but no actual text. I know if this was happening to me I would rather get a random notification rather than actually missing out on a text. Also, it would be nice to know which way to address this issue.

Have you tried Setting>Applications(sort all)>Messaging>Clear data?

I had a friend text me "im about to send u a picture" and got the notification, but the pic never appeared so I do not believe it is a false notice. It doesnt happen often either.

I've never tried that, but I will now. But I have wiped and reflashed my roms plenty of times, wouldn't that clear all the data anyway?
Last time I wiped and reflashed was less than a week ago...

I would guess it would, who knows, I had a ghost Gmail for weeks...
Ok so clearing the message data did not help. I sat next to a friend trying to send me a pic and it would show "Unknown: MMS Received"....I'm so lost as to what to do
bumping this as I've tried lots of things, and get this error myself too. I can at least send picture messages again, but I still can't receive.
Have you called t-mobile? I had the same problem and I tried everything. Decided to give them a call just as a last option and it was on there end.
And since you just rooted and it's happened only since you rooted I would go over everything you did.

[Q] Not receiving MMS

So my wife and I both got Thrills the day they were released. Only a couple weeks after getting them my wife started having trouble receiving MMS's. Even with the "auto-download" setting enabled MMS's stopped auto-downloading and if she pushed download it would just say "downloading" and never download until she rebooted her phone. Mine was working fine so I didn't pay too much attention. I kinda figured it was cause she messages a hell of a lot more than me and it might be a glitch there. One day I started having the same problem so I assumed I had reached the number of MMSs that she had when she started having the problem. So I deleted all my text messages in the messaging app. So she sends me an MMS today and same thing, didn't auto-download, won't download when I click the button. I refuse to reboot my phone for everything. Anyone else having this problem? Know whats going on? Have a fix that doesn't require root or a new rom?

Had the same issue when I got my Thrill, I had to edit a setting. I forget what it was.....another thing that's stopped my MMS is having a **** load of Message in my inbox that aren't deleted.
Go t settings and set up auto delete, clear cache, & change what you please, after that report back in a day

Clear cache? In message settings? I actually deleted all my texts and still have this problem. I never set up auto delete on mine but I did my wife's. Either way it still happened to both of us. This "clear cache" sounds like a winner. I wonder if the pics get downloaded but just don't show up in the app. The next time it happens I'm gonna search the folder with ES and see if it's there.

[Q] Odd messages issue with Samsung Galaxy Note ICS.

Hai there. From some time im dealing with a fairly annoying issue that i can't seem to find help on google or out here. That calls for the new thread, right?
So, back to business, max of 2 weeks ago this happend to me, when you go to your messages, on the first step you have the list of all the messages you received and sent. Those with contacts will have their names, those without won't, but the thing is, that for some reason my phone is removing + from some of the message threads, instead of +353 (which is for the Ireland) im ending up with just 353. That causes message threads to loose their name (contact name) and unables me from sending txt messages to that contact/number. Yet, i can still recieve messages in that thread from the person who sent them. Ive tried deleting contact, saving it again, restarting phone etc, you know, the basic sunday fix things. Nothing has helped permanently. It just keep loosing the +. Im attatching screenshot to show you how it looks, but its fairly simple once explained. I hope that none of you have experienced it, but that some of you might know how to fix it.
Cheers!

Text messaging problem

Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Appreciate the response, but I thought I would ask to see if other people had the same experience and therefore can share the right way forward?

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?
I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.
