Galaxy S3 MMS Issues

[LFB1975]

I have a problem sending and receiving picture messages.  I have set up the MMS APN from settings that were sent to me by VF CS but its still not working.  When I do get one I see the picture breafley then I keep getting is message retrival failed about 3 times.

Any one else suffered from this problem.  Anyone know how to fix it.

Thanks

These are the MMS settings for Contract Pay Monthly users, if this is you please compare;

The APN Settings (Settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names) are;

Name: Contract WAP

APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: wap

Password: wap

Server: Not set

MMSC: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms

MMS proxy: 212.183.137.012

MMS Port: 8799

MCC: 234

MNC: 15

Authentication type: PAP

APN type: mms

APN protocol: IPv4 (unchangeable)

Enable/disable APN: APN enabled

Bearer: Unspecified

In order to send and receive MMS messages you need to be in a Data Service area be-it E,G,H or H+. If you don't have a data connection then this will not work.

Thanks for that.

Just checked my settngs and did a test and its still not working. I can send a picture but when I receive one this is what happens.

The text notification rings and when I open the message I press download and the picture appears.

Then the picture disapers and I then get three more messages through from Anonymous saying user retrieval failed and there is now no picture.

Its getting annoying as VF technical were no help.

Well if you can send and receive - just the once! - then I presume you have the data connection and APN set-up.

Are you using Stock Messaging App or some other variant?

I have successfully used MMS sending and receiving using the above APN - so if you are also using the same stock messaging app (installed with phone) then I am at a loss. Hopefully someone else can jump in with another idea...

I have tried it using the stock app as well as Chomp sms and nothing works.

I suppose push comes to shove I will send it back faulty.

Anyone else got any ideas?

You need to make sure that MMS is activated on your account.

You'll need to contact Customer Services to ensure that it is activated on your account.

Looks like I have solved it.

Got the settings resent via a settings text.  Just tested and it worked.
