My wife has had the Optimus Elite on Virgin Mobile since September 2012. Very light user so she turns 3G off to save battery life, unless she really needs it, which is maybe 5 minutes a day. Since having the phone she will sometimes get a notification that a text has come in, then the text will tell her she needs to download the message. She hits download and it just shows up blank - no words or anything. I have done some research and the text messages are coming in as MMS, when the users on the other end are definitely sending SMS (she isn't in the picture messaging crowd). I just confirmed with one of the users that this frequently happens to that she is on Verizon. I am guessing the phone support through VM would be useless, so I'm seeing if anyone here has suggestions. Also note that it can't be this specific handset, because she actually got a replacement (both Elite's) because the other one froze and continues to have the same issue. I've tried fiddling with the settings (such as telling it not to automatically download MMS messages and also top increase message archive setting), but same result. HELP!
