Not getting pix in txt anymore.

NMC813 · September 4th, 2012, 04:20 PM

Now when anyone sends me a pic txt I get a download button. I push it nothing happens. When I try to send pix it stays in sending limbo and never goes threw.

Can anyone tell me what to check and look into to fix this?

Are the picture mms's coming from someone with an IPhone? On the AT&T network?

This is happening to me a lot with my Optimus Elite on VMUSA. I'm not getting SMS or MMS all the time and both are taking forever to send.

My wife's Optimus V seems to be fine however.

Keep in mind that Sprint and VM are in the middle of making network upgrades. Your reception may vary drastically while they are working on towers in your area. At my work, I lost all cell signal for 3 weeks and 3g was in and out for 2 weeks. When they finally got it all working again my signal strength jumped by 2 bars, and my 3g speed went from around 350kbs to 1.5mbs. Just give it a little time, they may be working in your area.

Their text messages and picture messages shouldn't be out for an entire month though. That's unacceptable regardless of upgrades. But then again, if mine were out for more than 3 days Id have already been on the phone with tech support.
